NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 303 The secret of Dr. J

After spraying the old gangster, Lu Yuanzhi suddenly felt refreshed and not even that tired from training.

On April 4, the Spurs defeated the Timberwolves at home and advanced to the second round.

In this way, all the first round games in the Western Conference are over, all the teams in the top half have won, and the duel has become the Lakers vs. Mavericks, and the Kings vs. the Spurs.

On May 5, the Kings ushered in the Western Conference semifinals battle with the Spurs at home.

It can be said that the two teams know the basics. The only variable is that Popovich specifically avoided the Lakers and chose to play the Kings. I don’t know what medicine he is selling in the gourd or what special targeted tactics he has.

The Spurs' starting lineup is David Robinson, Duncan, Bowen, Stephen Jackson and Parker.

The Kings' starting lineup remains unchanged, still Divac, Weber, Stojakovic, Lu Yuanzhi and Bibby.

Bibby's father, Henry Bibby, came to the sidelines to cheer his son on.

Henry Bibby is also a retired NBA player, but his draft pick was a bit low. He was selected by the New York Knicks with the 11th overall pick in the fourth round and 58th overall.

That's right, the NBA draft rounds at that time were unlimited. In theory, as long as the team still had players they liked, they could continue to select them indefinitely.

In 1960, the NBA conducted an unprecedented 21-round draft that was certainly unprecedented.

Henry Bibby came up and gave Lu Yuanzhi a hug, which made Lu Yuanzhi confused.

"You saved this family!"

ah?Lu Yuanzhi was even more confused.

What is this all about?

After Henry Bibby walked away, Lu Yuanzhi quickly went to ask Bibby what was going on.

Bibby sighed, "Henry can't let go. He thinks it was Dr. J who ruined the 76ers!"

"In the 76-77 season, the 76ers had a luxurious lineup, with 'Bomb' Dawkins and McGinnis on the inside, Doug Collins and Walder Free on the outside, plus Dr. J. Julius Erving, starting All-Stars, four Hall of Famers."

"There was no salary cap at that time. Their total salary was more than three times that of the No. 2 Lakers. Therefore, the 76ers' lineup was much stronger than other teams."

"Everyone thought this was the season where the 76ers would easily win the championship,"

"This is also true. They advanced all the way, easily reached the finals, won the first game, and also led the Trail Blazers with a score of 96:76 in the second game."

"But before the game was about to end, a large-scale conflict broke out between players from both sides. Almost all players shook their fists at each other, while Dr. J sat quietly on the floor of the court, watching his teammates and opponents fight."

"Wait, what did you say?" Lu Yuanzhi was stunned, what is going on?Sitting in the field watching teammates fight?

"Look, you are in disbelief, let alone the 76ers players at that time!"

"Dr. J is the captain of the 76ers and the leader of the team, but he did not stand up for his teammates for the so-called "doctor's demeanor". Then, you know, conflicts broke out in the 76ers locker room, and they ended up 2 :4 lost to the Trail Blazers."

"Henry always felt that it was Dr. J who sacrificed his teammates for his so-called demeanor, which caused huge conflicts among everyone and prevented that 76ers team from winning the championship."

"He hates Dr. J who is cowardly and sitting there, so you helped your teammates last year and this year, and he likes you very much!"

"He feels like it's you who keeps the Kings together."

Lu Yuanzhi seemed to understand Henry Bibby's thoughts, "However, some people may really hate fighting and violence! Although what Dr. J did was wrong, may he really have such a psychological problem?"

Bibi sighed, "Yes, if that's all, Henry wouldn't be that angry."

Bibby then pointed to Barkley, who was commentating on the sidelines, "A few years later, when Barkley was still a rookie, a conflict broke out on the court between the 76ers and the Celtics, and he locked Larry Bird by the throat. , Dr. J stepped forward and beat Larry hard."

Lu Yuanzhi was stunned again.

Bibby was not surprised, "So, Henry decided that Dr. J was just playing a gentle image, and when he got old, his true colors would be revealed."

"But what he did hurt all his teammates at that time." Lu Yuanzhi had a big meal today. He didn't expect such a magical thing, but he also doubted the authenticity of the matter. After all, it was all Henry -Bibi’s side of the story.

Bibby saw what he was thinking and added, "Kobe's dad, Joe Bryant, was also on that 76ers team. If you have a chance, you can ask Kobe. He probably heard this story from his dad. .”

Lu Yuanzhi couldn't hold himself any longer.

what?
Your two fathers were teammates back then?
You two haven't known each other since childhood, right?
Did you know he was so ruthless?

Last year in the Western Conference finals, Kobe gave you a big elbow in your face. It hurt me just looking at it!
After a pre-match hiatus, the match between the two teams officially began.

The Spurs easily won the jump ball from Duncan.

Lu Yuanzhi positioned himself to defend Stephen Jackson.

That's the Kings' strategy.

Doesn’t Bowen like to squat in the corner and shoot three-pointers?

Doesn’t Stephen Jackson love to rush to the basket?

Okay, I'll let Stojakovic guard Bowen and Lu Yuanzhi guard Stephen Jackson. Let's see how you attack.

Moreover, Lu Yuanzhi's role is not just that.

Duncan came to play the Spurs' first attack. With his height, wingspan and weight advantages, he ran over Webb and went inside.

Weber got stuck near the penalty area and stopped allowing Duncan to move forward. Duncan felt the huge force coming from his waist and knew that Weber's center of gravity had been lowered. He no longer hesitated and turned over to hit a jumper.

But before the ball was thrown, Duncan suddenly saw a figure wearing a Kings jersey flying over from the corner of his eye.

It's Lu Yuanzhi!

Yes, another advantage of Stephen Jackson, who is good at breaking through, is that Lu Yuanzhi can immediately return to the inside to defend Webber and limit Duncan's offense at the basket.

Duncan judged the height of Lu Yuanzhi and had no choice but to increase the shooting angle.

But this ball was originally intended by Duncan to hit the board. After making such an adjustment, the ball flew completely in an uncontrollable direction.

"Dangdang!"

The Spurs' first attack came out of the frame like this, and Divac steadily grabbed the backboard.

The fans saw that their home team defended well and did not hesitate to cheer.

Then, cheers of "Go, Kings!" came one after another.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Lu Yuanzhi found that his defender had become Bowen.

Oh, this is where my defensive experts are sent to defend me!
But Lu Yuanzhi ignored Bowen's defense at all.

Although Bowen's defense is good, he and Battier have the same problem. Their physical talents are limited.

They can guard against reasonable stars, but they cannot guard against unreasonable superstars.

Lu Yuanzhi received Bibby's pass and shot directly two steps away from the three-point line.

"brush!"

Lu Yuanzhi felt good today and the ball hit the net.

Bowen?

I'm going to hit you unreasonably and let's see how you defend yourself!
