Chapter 420: Why Provoke Wade Dong?

"Keep double-teaming Duncan, limit his impact."

Before the game, Wade Dong reminded his teammates again.

Among the team, the one under the most pressure was Wade Dong. The combination of Durant and Curry was just a replacement of Wade Dong with McGrady, which weakened the team's strength but didn't affect their chemistry. They still had the ability to win the championship, and most of the time, they were facing the Spurs' bench players.

Wade Dong's combination was different.

The teammates lacked chemistry, and their offensive tactics were one-dimensional, relying solely on Wade Dong's solo play.

Although they had individual defensive capabilities, their biggest problem was their inability to switch defenses quickly, which had been exposed in the previous game, making them vulnerable to the Spurs' targeted attacks.

When Wade Dong came on the court, the Spurs were still trailing by 11 points.

However, Popovich sat back on the bench, looking confident.

The Suns were on offense.

Wade Dong shook off Leonard, and Ginobili came to help defend, disrupting Wade Dong's shot.

"G~~~"

The ball clanged off the rim, and Duncan secured the defensive rebound.

The Spurs were on offense, and the Suns continued to double-team Duncan, with Wade Dong defending Leonard.

This was a helpless move.

Their defense lacked a systematic approach, and Carter was also plagued by injuries. Yi Nan and McCollum were far from capable of competing against the Spurs' main players, and the longer they played, the more problems they exposed.

Duncan received the ball in the low post, and Ginobili cut to the basket.

"Swoosh~"

Duncan passed the ball to Ginobili, who caught it and went up for a layup.

47:38!!!

After that, the Suns' offensive rhythm was completely disrupted. As long as Wade Dong missed a shot, the Spurs could seize the opportunity to narrow the score.

As the first half came to an end...

59:57!!!

The Spurs were only trailing by 2 points, and this was thanks to Carter's tenacious defense. Otherwise, the Spurs would have already taken the lead.

...

"Bang!"

As Wade Dong walked towards the player tunnel, a bottle of mineral water landed at his feet.

If Wade Dong hadn't dodged quickly, the bottle might have hit him.

Then...

An angry fan shouted at Wade Dong, "Wade Dong, you're just trash!"

"Fuck, you're just a stat-padder! You don't deserve the MVP!"

"If it weren't for Durant and Curry, the Suns would have been blown out by us long ago!"

"Pfft..."

"Get out of the league! The Spurs will smash your head!"

"Beep beep beep beep..."

Wade Dong had been in the league for two years, and this was the first time he had encountered home fans daring to provoke him like this!

"Fuck you!"

Green immediately rushed towards the stands, ready to smash the provoking fan's head.

"Green, come back!"

His teammates quickly pulled Green back.

The arena security also rushed over, took away the provoking fan, and kept apologizing to Wade Dong, "Sorry, Dong Ge, we will deal with this fan seriously!"

"Hmm..."

Wade Dong walked into the player tunnel with a stern face.

Popovich witnessed this scene.

"Stupid idiot, why did you provoke Wade Dong, that bastard, for no reason?"

"Stupid idiot, why did you provoke Wade Dong, that bastard, for no reason?"

"Stupid idiot, why did you provoke Wade Dong, that bastard, for no reason?"

Popovich kept repeating this sentence, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill that player.

By provoking Wade Dong like this, the Spurs, who had finally found a chance to win, might have that chance ruined by this player!

...

The Suns players also walked back to the away team locker room, cursing and swearing.

Everyone was still indignant, but Gentry was laughing.

Green was a little unhappy with Gentry and asked, "Old Jin, what are you laughing at?"

"I'll ask you a question."

Gentry paused and said, "If a dog bites you, will you bite it back?"

Durant shook his head, "I won't. There's no need for a person to argue with a dog."

"Yeah... Old Jin's analogy is too appropriate."

Curry and McGrady also agreed.

Only Green stood up, his face red, and said, "I will bite that dog back. Why should I let a dog bite me for no reason?"

Gentry, "???"

"I'm just giving an example..."

Gentry shook his head, "Being provoked by home fans is a very normal thing. Don't take it to heart, and I believe Dong Ge won't take it to heart either."

"No."

Wade Dong raised the corners of his mouth, "If a dog bites me, I'll stew it."

"Right!"

The topic ended there.

Gentry's face was still filled with laughter, "The weakness of our tactic has been exposed. I was originally worried that the Spurs would turn the game around, but now I'm not worried at all."

Curry, "Why?"

"Look~"

Gentry gestured towards Wade Dong's direction, "With the provocation from the fans, it's very reasonable for Dong Ge to play the entire second half."

...

Before Wade Dong returned to the court.

A staff member came to explain, "Dong Ge, we have dealt with the troublemaker. He has been handed over to the police, and this fan has been permanently banned from the arena."

"Oh."

Wade Dong's expression was indifferent.

Popovich's heart sank, "This is bad..."

...

The second half began.

Wade Dong dribbled to the frontcourt, and when he was three steps away from the three-point line, he shot.

"Swoosh!!!"

The ball swished through the net.

62:57!!!

The Spurs inbounded the ball, and as soon as Parker received it, Wade Dong rushed to steal the ball, took it away from Parker, and went beyond the three-point line.

"Swoosh!!!"

He shot another three-pointer, and the ball swished through the net again.

65:57!!!

The Spurs were on offense, and Ginobili's layup was blocked by Wade Dong, who had followed up. Whiteside grabbed the rebound and passed it to Wade Dong.

Wade Dong dribbled to the middle of the court and shot.

"Swoosh!!!"

The ball swished through the net again.

68:57!!!

He made three three-pointers in a row, and Wade Dong suddenly looked up at the stands, then drew his hand across his neck.

"Hiss..."

"Slit his throat???"

The home fans suddenly fell silent, feeling the intense killing intent.

Popovich called a timeout!

"Fuck, I want to kill that provoking fan!"

Popovich cursed again, then said, "Double-team Wade Dong! If two people can't do it, use three. If three can't do it, use four. If four can't do it, use five! We must limit Wade Dong's scoring."

...

After the timeout.

Leonard missed his shot, and Yi Nan grabbed the rebound and passed it to Wade Dong!

Wade Dong received the ball, and Leonard and Bonner rushed to double-team him.

Wade Dong dribbled through the defense, shaking off Leonard and Bonner, but Ginobili rushed over.
