The media broadcasting this game is ESPN, and the commentator is their signature commentator, Morgan Connor.

The commentator they invited for this game was David Robinson, who I believe everyone is familiar with. He was also the legendary center of the Spurs and was nicknamed the Admiral.

Before Duncan came to the Spurs, David Robinson was the Spurs' absolute main center. He once led the Spurs to achieve good results in a Western Conference filled with strong opponents.

But he was never able to help the Spurs win the championship. In the 1994-1995 season, he led the Spurs all the way to the Western Conference Finals.

That year was the Spurs' best year, but unfortunately, they encountered the Rockets led by Olajuwon.

In this matchup, Olajuwon basically defeated David Robinson and blocked the Spurs from the finals.

That was almost David Robinson's most regrettable series.

Not only because he was blown away by Olajuwon in all aspects, but more importantly, that was the closest he came to a championship.

The failure of that series basically caused David Robinson to lose hope of winning the championship.

Until Duncan's arrival, the Spurs finally ushered in the twin-tower era.

Duncan's unparalleled talent showed terrifying dominance in his rookie year, which surprised David Robinson.

David Robinson even took the initiative to give up the low position to train Duncan. The Spurs' twin towers formed by him and Duncan showed incredible dominance in the 1998-1999 season, passing all the way, and finally defeated the Spurs without Ewing in the finals.

The New York Knicks finally won David Robinson's first championship.

Everyone thought that this would be the beginning of a great era, and that the twin-tower combination could win more championships for the Spurs. But what everyone didn't expect was that in the second year after they won the championship, that is, in the 2000 season, the Lakers

The team's rookie kid who made three misses in the playoffs suddenly grew wildly and formed a terrifying OK combination with O'Neal.

The OK group almost swept the entire league that year and was invincible!

Even the Spurs' twin-tower combination is no match for them.

In the next three years, OK group completed three consecutive championships that shocked the past and present!

In front of the Lakers' OK combination, everything paled. David Robinson really saw no hope. In addition, he was indeed past his peak, so he chose to retire in the 2002-03 season.

For this game, it's perfect for ESPN to ask him to be a commentator.

"David, first of all, say hello to the viewers in front of the TV." Morgan Connor said.

"Hello everyone," David Robinson said, "I am very happy to be able to commentate on this game with Connor."

"David, we all know that you were once a legend of the Spurs and helped the Spurs win the championship, and they still basically play with Duncan as the core, which is similar to when you were there. You must know them well.

Regarding the tactical arrangements, let me first analyze the two sides of this game."

"Okay." David Robinson said, "The first thing I want to correct is that the Spurs are my home team. Although the core of the tactics is still Duncan and the coach is still Popovich, in fact, their current style of play is different from

My playing style was different when I was there."

"Oh? What's different?"

"First of all, when I was with the Spurs, our focus was entirely on the inside. Whether it was offense or defense, it all revolved around me and Tim Duncan. It didn't have much to do with outside players, but it's different now.

, they have excellent outside players like Tony Parker and Ginobili, and they must formulate some outside tactics. It can even be said that if you study their games carefully, many offensive tactics revolve around Tony Parker.

Hit." David Robinson said.

"That's true. After all, Tony Parker is the league's top point guard, and he is still very talented on the offensive end." Morgan Connor said.

"Yes, in fact, at that time, we mainly played the Twin Towers. Firstly, because the Spurs did not have a very good number one position at that time, so they could only play the two of us. Secondly, because at that time, the league actually focused on the inside.

So our style of play can win the championship, but it’s definitely not going to work now. You can’t play without outside tactics.”

"Yes, that's true. As everyone's shooting becomes more and more accurate, the outside is indeed becoming more and more important."

"Yes, I think Tony Parker is almost the most perfect point guard of this era. He passes the ball well, shoots well, can play positional warfare, and is also good at launching fast breaks. The most important thing is that he and Duncan are on the same team.

The linkage between one and outside is the main reason why the Spurs have remained strong in recent years." David Robinson said.

"I think so too. It's a stroke of genius for the Spurs to find a point guard like Parker. But when it comes to the topic of the perfect point guard, now we have to talk about another person. This kid is called by A Smith.

The nemesis of future league point guards."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, after he made such remarks at that time, everyone agreed that A Smith was "either just to gain traffic, or he is crazy."

David Robinson laughs.

"But now it seems that everyone feels that A Smith is not just for traffic, because this kid Lu Yusheng has really been getting better and better in the recent games. Not only did he help the Lakers win seven consecutive victories, but also, in the last game

In their game against the Houston Rockets, after Kobe Bryant was injured and went off the field, this kid scored 50 points alone to help the Lakers defeat the Heat. This kid is really popular recently. David, have you paid attention to him?" Morgan Kang

Na asked.

"Of course, in fact, it's hard not to pay attention to him. As you said, he is really popular now. When you turn on the news, everything about him is all about him. The TV media are all bragging about him. You

Even if you don’t want to pay attention, it’s difficult, he’s so popular now,” David Robinson said.

"And I just heard that he seems to have signed a big contract with Reebok, and it's bigger than anyone expected." Morgan Connor said.

"How big is it?"

"Sixteen million."

"That's not too big," David Robinson said.

"Two years."

David Robinson:…

"Oh my God, they actually offered such a big contract to a rookie who only played seven games??!! Are they crazy? You know, Duncan's sneaker contract is only 1.5 million per year!" David Robinson said.

"David, there's no way to compare," Morgan Connor said. "Although we all admit that Duncan is a future Hall of Fame player, when it comes to sneaker contracts, inside players can't compete with outside players.

Comparatively, think about it, when O'Neal was at his peak, he only had that little money."

"That's true, but the problem is, the league's signature outside stars don't seem to have such big contracts, right? I vaguely remember that McGrady and Kobe don't seem to be that high, right?"

"Yes, at this point, I actually think Reebok is a little too anxious," said Morgan Connor. "Nike and Adidas are definitely much more stable. They will never give a child who has only played seven games

Who offers such a high-dollar endorsement contract?"

"It is indeed a bit too exaggerated." David Robinson said, "You must know that an athlete's future can never be seen in such a short time. There are too many short-lived players."

"Reebok has no choice. Their market share has been squeezed by Nike and Adidas. They can't find a breakthrough. I think it will be difficult for them to survive in the basketball market, so they decided to take a gamble. This may

That’s why they spent huge sums of money to sign Lu Yusheng.”

"I guess they're going to regret it," David Robinson said.

"From your tone, it seems that you are not very optimistic about Lu's prospects."

"It's not that I'm not optimistic about him, he is indeed very good, but I always feel that his physical condition has not met the conditions to become a super giant. Connor, you have to know, in fact, when we judge the potential of a player, his physical condition

Condition is a very important factor, because it is the basis of everything possible. I carefully studied Guo Lu's game, and I found that his technique and mind are very good, but his physical condition is indeed average, so I think, his

The upper limit won’t be too high.”

Morgan Connor said with a smile, "It is indeed a bit far to predict these now. The appearance ceremony is over and the game is about to start. I think we should go back to this game. As usual, we still have

Guests are invited to make predictions, who do you think is more confident in this game?"

"There is no doubt, of course it is the Spurs." David Robinson said, "I made this prediction not only because the Spurs are my home team, but because this is a very objective reality. Before I came here today,

After doing my homework, the Lakers have not beaten the Spurs for two consecutive seasons, which actually shows the problem. It is purely due to the current strength of the Lakers' team that they simply cannot compete with the Spurs."

"But they have won seven games in a row now, and they are obviously in very good shape this season." Morgan Connor said.

"Then I don't think they will be the opponent of the Spurs. Besides, their main offensive point, Kobe Bryant, is not able to play today, so even though the Lakers are at home, I still think there is no possibility for the Lakers to win this game.

Game." David Robinson said confidently.

"I completely agree with your analysis," Morgan Connor said, "but what I want to say is, this is the NBA after all, everything is possible. Before, many people were not optimistic that the Lakers could win against the Heat.

The Rockets, but they have indeed done it, so I am still looking forward to the Lakers' performance in this game.

Especially their super rookie Lu Yusheng, Lakers fans now call him the Wonder Boy. His arrival has completely changed the momentum of the Lakers. His magical winning streak of seven consecutive games has shocked Lakers fans, as if this guy

Every game brings magic to the Lakers. No matter how strong the opponent is, they seem to be able to play back and forth with each other.

So, I am still looking forward to this game. Okay, we see that the players from both sides have officially entered the stadium, and the game is about to begin! Let us look forward to it together, whether Lu Yusheng can continue his magic in this game!!"

Players from both sides appear on stage and the game is about to officially begin.

The Spurs' starting lineup is still a familiar lineup, point guard: Tony Parker.

Shooting guard: Manu Ginobili.

Small forward: Bruce Bowen.

Power Forward: Fabricio Oberto

Center: Tim Duncan

As a later generation, Lu Yusheng knows that the Spurs are this year's championship. They swept the Cleveland Cavaliers 4:0 in the finals. Therefore, he understands that in this game, he is facing the strongest team in the entire NBA this year.

Team!

If he can lead the team to defeat this Spurs team, then it is really possible to help Kobe win the championship this year!
