San Antonio, located in south-central Texas, covers an area of ​​about 1,205 square kilometers. It is the second largest city in Texas and the seventh most populous city in the United States.

First, there are rich historical architectural sites here. The priest's mansion built by the Spaniards in the 18th century combines multiple functions such as a church, a military fortress and a residence. The hundreds of such stone houses left so far have become attractive attractions.

Second, San Antonio is world famous for its thriving and green riverside promenade. The 4.5km-long riverside along the San Antonio River is full of restaurants, hotels, roadside cafes, tourist souvenir shops, theaters, museums and other buildings, all of which are located in the river valley below the city street level. Looking around the street, you can see the big trees all over the valley, which is very spectacular.

The Lakers had dinner at a hotel along the San Antonio River.

"It's unbelievable that the Spurs let David Robinson choose to be reimbursed for the season at the beginning of the season for a rookie."

"Everyone knows that David is a fake injury, and he led Shaq to win the Atlanta Olympics in the summer." Campbell was very venomous.

"Damn it, that's not lying down and winning."

"May I ask the great Shaq's scoring average?"

O'Neal faltered, and his performance of starting but not averaging 10 points per game was indeed a bit stretched, but wasn't it for the Lakers to preserve their strength in the game? Besides, Barkley, the scoring leader, only averaged 12.4 points per game. We played egalitarian basketball.

O'Neal quickly changed the subject, "Hi, Kobe. I heard that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hailed you as a combination of Jerry West and Magic Johnson."

"That's my honor." This is a great compliment. Magic Johnson is undoubtedly the first point guard in history. Kobe is 1.98 meters tall as a point guard. It is hard for people to connect the two.

Jerry West, on the other hand, combined deadly jump shots, tough defense, super-confidence and super-competitiveness. This is exactly the same as Kobe.

"Okay, okay, stop bragging about each other. The Spurs still have Dominique Wilkins. Their team that played second in the Western Conference with 59 wins last year also stayed on the team, but David Robinson was on a truce." Rambis It stopped the team's laughter and sounded the alarm for the players.

Dominique Wilkins is widely regarded as one of the greatest dunkers in NBA history, earning him the nickname "The Essence of Human Cinema."

Selected to the NBA All-Star team for nine consecutive years in his career. In 1986, he won the NBA scoring title and was selected to the NBA All-NBA First Team. He was selected to the All-NBA Second Team 4 times and the All-NBA Third Team twice. Contest champion.

In the 95-96 season, he signed a 2-year contract worth 7 million US dollars with the Greek Panathinaikos team, which is a rich reward for a 35-year-old veteran. The club is also said to have provided him with a four-story marble villa, a maid, two cars and even paid Greek taxes for him.

In 1996, he helped the team win the Greek Cup and the Europa League and won two Finals MVPs, the Final Four MVP, the Finals scoring champion and the All-Star Game MVP.

This year, he returned to the US NBA with great ambitions to continue his NBA career. He wanted to win the championship as a second-in-command next to the Admiral, but the team and David Robinson immediately decided to participate after Tim Duncan decided to participate. A bad decision was made, which made him very angry.

Before the game, Dominique Wilkins summoned his teammates: "Guys, I know we are bad. But why don't we beat the No. 1 in the West to prove our strength? Are we born losers? No , we will win a game at home!"

And the Lakers players, even Kobe were exhausted after yesterday's matchup with the Big Three.

Double overtime, especially with such a top championship team, is too exhausting.

Both sides entered the field, and the Lakers still maintained their normal starting lineup.

The Spurs' starting lineup is PG Avery Johnson, SG Vernon Maxwell, SF Sean Elliott, PF Dominique Wilkins and C Greg Anderson.

Among them, Avery Johnson was nicknamed "Little General". His outstanding leadership and daring style helped him become the boss of the locker room.

He is David Robinson's right-hand man, scoring 13.1 points and 9.6 assists last season. The organizational ability is very outstanding, and he can give the ball to his teammates at the right time.

Vernon Maxwell is the starting guard for Houston's two consecutive championships. In the 90-92 season, Maxwell was elected as the league's three-point leader twice. It can be said that Maxwell is like a guided bomb, which has created unlimited room for the low-level Olajuwon.

"Mad Max" is his nickname, and it's hard to stop him when he's going crazy. He averaged 16+4+3 for the Philadelphia 76ers last season. A guard who shoots at a near-All-Star level.

Sean Elliott is an All-Star wing player. He was selected with the third overall pick in 1989 and entered the All-Star in both the 93 and 95 seasons. He played an excellent performance of 20+5+3 next to David Robinson last season, which can be said to be the second contributor to the team's 59 wins.

Greg Anderson is David Robinson's backup, an ordinary blue-collar insider.

It's hard to imagine that such a lineup with David Robinson enough to try to compete for the championship will immediately choose to play poorly after learning that Tim Duncan is participating in the draft.

I have to admire the courage of the Spurs team.

At the beginning of the game, O'Neal crushed Greg Anderson with a jump ball.

Kobe took possession of the ball, he hoisted it to O'Neal at the basket, and O'Neal scored with a hook. This has become the Lakers' preferred tactic for opening games.

O'Neal played too easily when facing this kind of 3-line inside player. As long as the ball is given to him, he will either score or make a free throw.

Possession transition, Avery - Johnson organizes the offense. Kobe pressed hard.

Avery Johnson passed the ball to Wilkins on the cut basket, and Wilkins scored a layup.

The Lakers mostly handed over the ball to O'Neal in the first quarter. O'Neal played very easily, but the team's outside shooting percentage was very low.

There are so many good opportunities that the starters didn't grasp.

The Spurs are blooming more. Wilkins and Elliott's alternating attacks make Campbell exhausted on the defensive end and a little overwhelmed.

Campbell doesn't play well defensively against such a fast forward. On the offensive end, he scored a few against Wilkins.

The two sides played back and forth as substitutes. The Lakers, who didn't get too many opportunities to perform yesterday, played back and forth with each other today.

Fisher and Van Exel played some tacit cooperation on the outside, hitting three-pointers again and again.

In the second quarter, the starting lineup was replaced, and the situation changed instantly.

The Spurs changed O'Neal's defensive strategy, not double-teaming or single defense.

Spurs coach Bob Hill opted for Dominic Wilkins to go forward, Greg Anderson to cover the penalty area, and Bruce Bowen to be short.

The penalty area was full of people, and O'Neal had no choice but to score the ball.

In the second quarter, Bowen made 0 of 5 three-pointers, and Bowen looked livid.

At halftime, the Lakers 49:52 the Spurs.
