Ginobili's departure still affected the Spurs' game.
Although he is 38 years old, Ginobili's defensive ability is unmatched by other players.
You see, Tony Parker, who was still very prosperous a few years ago, is only 32 years old this year. He is basically half useless and no longer has the prestige of the past.
In ordinary games, Duncan or Ginobili's individual defense is already very powerful.
Now that they met Shen Huan, the two of them together were able to defend him and prevent Shen Huan from scoring a crazy score.
But Ginobili failed to implement the new tactics and suffered an accident after leaving the field, so someone must be able to make up for it.
There is no other way but to let Mills fill this position.
But Mills can only help defend at most, and the main task has to fall on Duncan.
Shi Buddha said he was very tired.
However, no matter how tired he was, there was nothing he could do. Except for him, no one could defend Shen Huan one-on-one.
Fortunately, the Lakers are also missing Iverson. After such a superstar who can break through and score comes off the court, their scoring ability still declines.
No matter how good Kobe is, he can only play about 6 minutes in a game.
But what makes the Spurs sad is that their Duncan, while fully defending Shen Huan, can only play about six minutes in one game.
Otherwise, Duncan's efficiency and physical strength will be severely reduced, and he will not be able to display his abilities at all.
But look at Shen Huan.
Rushing forward and back, running unscrupulously and dunking, and returning to defense to block shots, he is really full of energy, trying his best to show the vitality of youth.
This makes people sigh, it is better to be young!
No!
Not only is he young, but with Shen Huan's physical strength and energy, even James at his peak might not be that good.
When I was young, there was no problem with 48 minutes in a game.
But in the playoffs, every 48 minutes of each game is as energy-intensive as if he had just played. This can only be described as extremely talented.
With such a player, even if it is a role player, you can use it as two people.
Especially when used for defense, as long as you stick to the opponent's superstar like a mad dog, it is guaranteed that the opponent's superstar will not be able to perform well.
Not to mention that Shen Huan is also a master of both offense and defense.
Now many commentators are saying that Shen Huan is actually a superstar.
What he lacks is just too little game experience and some necessary personal honors.
If this development continues, as long as she reaches the finals, even if she doesn't win the championship, Shen Huan has a great chance of winning FMVP.
After another year or two of experience, the regular season MVP will be directly in Shen Huan's bag.
In the next game, the Spurs' morale did not collapse.
One reason is that Shen Huan didn't really hit anyone this time, but just dismantled a chair.
After seeing how Shen Huan dealt with Davis, except for Ginobili who was sadly sent to the hospital, the Spurs players all said that Shen Huan is very gentle and polite now and it is no big deal.
The second and more important reason is that they have Duncan, the sea-fixing needle.
Even if Duncan is 40 years old, as long as he is on the court or even on the bench, the Spurs players will not completely collapse.
However, the gap in strength cannot be made up by the morale maintained by this group.
After Iverson left, Kobe did not increase his playing time, but Shen Huan obviously stepped up his offensive efforts.
Can you believe that in just 3 minutes, Shen Huan carried Duncan twice, rushed from outside the three-point line directly into the three-second zone, and then dunked and scored
Even if Duncan tried his best, he could not stop Shen Huan for half a second. Instead, he was pushed sideways, like a puppet.
The players and spectators were dumbfounded.
Even the Trail Blazers received such treatment, but they all thought it was because the Trail Blazers players were too weak.
Now it's Duncan. Even 40-year-old Duncan is still a superstar in the league!
Even Duncan couldn't stop him, and he didn't even have any room to struggle. You can imagine how strong Shen Huan is!
The offensive action of carrying people forward is the most energy-consuming.
Duncan was pushed twice and was so tired that he had to leave the court to rest. However, Shen Huan still vigorously blocked Kawhi Leonard's attack, stole the basketball from his side, and assisted Kobe to score.
Players like this…
Such a game…
It’s really impossible to fight!
So in this third game, the Spurs still lost 88:108.
Shen Huan scored another 43 points, 10 assists, 17 rebounds, 20 steals and 14 blocks in this battle.
This is four consecutive games with a five-double.
In fact, excluding the game in which Shen Huan was sent off in the first 2 minutes, Shen Huan has never had a five-double in his career.
You want to say that you were scoring points with the Trail Blazers before, but now it's the Spurs, can you still say you are scoring points
Scored so many points on Duncan's head, grabbed so many rebounds, and blocked so many shots. How many players can do that
The Spurs are also a team with iron-blooded genes. If other players were so arrogant, they might have started fighting or conflict.
But they didn't dare to face Shen Huan.
Like Shen Huan, he picks up people like he's picking up a chicken, tearing up a chair as easily as paper. No one wants to conflict with him.
Life is still beautiful, there is no need to be so cruel.
Now that the total score has reached 0:3 behind, the Spurs' possibility of entering the Western Conference Finals is too small.
They also know that they are not strong enough, but they still want to send Duncan off with the results of the Western Conference Finals.
Now it seemed that they were too naive and did not expect such a fierce person like Shen Huan to appear.
Even if Popovich tried his best to find a solution, it was of no use.
Ginobili, who resolutely carried out his orders, has now been sent to the hospital.
The rest will not be opponents of the Lakers' old slickers.
Duncan, the only one who could do it, had almost all his energy blocked by Shen Huan, and couldn't exert any effort at all.
Even Duncan kept his attitude in front of Shen Huan - don't think that Shi Buddha doesn't know how to make small moves. Gang Leader Qiao is an expert in small moves, as is Black Mamba, so Shi Fo must also learn to become a superstar.
It's not what everyone expected.
On May 8, in the fourth game of this Western Conference semifinals held in San Antonio, the Spurs lost cleanly with a score of 97:133.
Shen Huan continued to score 52 points, 14 assists, 15 rebounds, 21 steals and 16 blocks in this battle. He undoubtedly won the best of the game for the fifth consecutive time.
At the end of the game, even the Spurs fans in the audience couldn't help but stand up and applaud Shen Huan vigorously to express their admiration for Shen Huan's super strength.
They are not convinced by the Lakers. They feel that the Spurs are very strong overall. The previous Lakers alone have no hope of beating the Spurs.
The Spurs fans believed that they were defeated at the hands of Shen Huan. They were completely convinced by Shen Huan's skills and strength without any dissatisfaction.
Anyway, in this round of the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers once again defeated their opponents 4:0 after the Trail Blazers.
The Lakers took the lead in entering the conference finals with an extremely strong attitude.
At this time, the Warriors are still playing against their opponent, the Los Angeles Clippers.
But now the Warriors lead with a total score of 3:0, and entering the Western Conference Finals is a sure thing.
When the most popular team today meets the well-deserved super overlord in recent years, this battle must be very exciting and very beautiful!
