2006-07赛季，马刺开局阶段异常强势，14场比赛赢下11场，最终以58胜24负的战绩进入季后赛。
The Spurs easily eliminated the Nuggets in the first round, and directly collided with the Phoenix Suns led by Nash in the second round.
In that round of the series, Nash's nose was blown off in Game [-].In the ensuing game, Robert Horry knocked Nash into an off-court billboard when the game lost suspense. Stoudemire and Diaw were suspended for one game for standing up from their seats. Duncan, who also stood up, was not punished.
In the third game where gambling referee Donaghy enforced the law, Stoudemire received 21 fouls in 5 points, but Bowen's attack on Nash was turned a blind eye.These factors can never be clearly explained. The final result is that the 61-win Suns lost 2-4 to the Spurs and stopped in the second round.
That year was the closest Nash came to a championship.
After the Spurs eliminated the Suns in the semifinals, they easily eliminated the Jazz in the Western Conference Finals and joined the Cavaliers led by the little emperor LeBron James in the finals.
Whether it is the Cavaliers or their leading star James, they looked extremely immature on the stage of the finals. Facing the GDP that led the Spurs to two championships in 03 and 05, they had no power to parry and were eventually swept away.
Tony Parker won the Finals MVP that year.
In the summer of 2007, the Boston Celtics traded to Garnett and Ray Allen, the Lakers traded to Gasol, and the league entered the three-year yellow-green competition.The Spurs still managed to maintain 50+ wins in the regular season during the period, but they did not get involved in the championship again.
In the 09-10 season, the Spurs eliminated the Mavericks in the first round and completed the black seven.
In the 10-11 season, the Spurs unexpectedly recovered and won the first place in the regular season. However, Duncan and Ginobili suffered injuries one after another in the final stage of the regular season. They lost to Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph 2-4 in the first round The leading Grizzlies became the background board of the Black Eight.
During the draft, the Spurs sent point guard George Hill to the Pacers in exchange for Kawhi Leonard, the No.15 pick in the first round.Originally, this may have been a deal similar to Kobe's, but in the end it was hard to say.
In the 11-12 season, the Spurs achieved a record of 50 wins and 16 losses in the shrinking season, winning 13 wins for [-] consecutive years.Popovich won the best coach award for the second time.The Spurs went smoothly to the Western Conference Finals. They successfully defeated the Thunder led by the third youngster in the first two games, but then Harden showed his power and helped the Thunder win four consecutive games. The Spurs had no choice but to stop in the Western Conference Finals.
In the 2012-13 season, the Spurs achieved a record of 58 wins and 24 losses, ranking second in the West, and finally reached the finals.
In that round of the series, Danny Green played bravely, but Ray Allen's three-pointer in the sixth game saved the Heat who were about to be defeated. The Heat reversed overtime and dragged the game into the tiebreaker.In the tiebreaker, James and Wade played well, successfully defeated the Spurs and completed two consecutive championships.
In the 13-14 season, the Spurs had a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, and no player averaged 30 minutes per game in the regular season, which was the first time since the merger of the ABA and NBA.
The Spurs were unstoppable that season. The defending champion Heat only fought one game. They were defeated without any suspense, and their dream of three consecutive championships was shattered.After seven seasons, the Spurs won the fifth championship trophy in team history. At 22 years and 351 days old, Kawhi Leonard was elected the finals MVP, becoming the third youngest winner in history.
The first and second youngest are Magic Johnson.
Last season, the defending champion Spurs inevitably declined and only entered the playoffs with the sixth record in the Western Conference.In the playoffs, the Spurs and the Clippers fought in seven games, and they were eventually thrown by Paul to make a quasi-lore, stopping the first round.
Last summer, the Spurs renewed the contracts of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, attracted the biggest star in the free market, LaMarcus Aldridge, and by the way, signed the player who wanted to compete for the championship with the basic salary of a veteran. David West.
The Spurs' home record this season is extremely brave. Except for the Mavericks game, no team can take away a victory at AT&T Arena this season.
In tonight's game, the Spurs players are determined to win, and the Lakers players are also eager to win.In the training session in the morning, Xu Tian just played the team match as usual. After completing all the regular training, he returned to the hotel to rest.
The traffic situation in San Antonio is much better than that in Los Angeles. Xu Tian doesn't need to go to the stadium in advance, and asks Alice to give him a massage to relax his body after a tiring journey.
While helping Xu Tian massage his back, Alice asked, "Xu, why do you attach so much importance to this game?"
Xu Tian didn't open his eyes, and responded: "The Spurs' home record this season is too good, which may allow them to establish a psychological advantage, and this is a key card battle, whether it is for the regular season rankings or to break the Spurs' devils At home, we have to work hard.”
"You really want to win the MVP?"
"Magician won the championship and Finals MVP in the first year. Jordan won six championships, six finals MVPs, and ten scoring titles in the Bulls' [-] seasons. The best defensive player that is difficult to get, in addition to several MVPs, if you want to chase these great players, you must have stronger honors."
"You should be enjoying the game, not chasing trophies."
"I have been enjoying the game. Winning will double the happiness, so I have to do my best to win. As long as I am a winner, everything will come."
Alice gently pinched Xu Tian's hard shoulder muscles with both hands, and said, "I don't know anything about the basketball circle, but no matter what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally."
Xu Tian still didn't open his eyes, but a warm current poured into his heart, which made him enjoy it very much.
Popovich was a little hard to let go of losing to the Lakers in two consecutive away games, and came to the empty home locker room very early.He looked at this familiar place alone, and the scenes from the past gradually emerged in front of his eyes.
After a while, Popovich stood in front of the motto nailed on the wall of the locker room, and looked at the familiar content full of emotion.
"When everything seemed to be going nowhere, I went to see a stonemason knock on a stone. He knocked it 100 times in a row, and the stone still didn't budge, but the 101st time, the stone split in two. But I know, let the stone It is not the final blow that splits, but the result of the previous hundred blows."
Popovich looked at this motto that can represent the spirit of the Spurs, and the complicated emotions gradually disappeared, leaving only the idea of fighting for victory.
Two hours later, wearing baggy jeans and a casual shirt, Duncan walked slowly into the tunnel with his hands in his jeans pockets.
Media reporters have long been accustomed to Duncan's fashion taste, and quickly pressed the shutter to record the scene of Duncan walking into the venue.
Not long after Duncan walked into the arena, Xu Tian walked into the player tunnel calmly, wearing a Li-Ning sportswear, carrying a bag containing Angel Wings sneakers in his hand.
