In a twinkling of an eye, the midsummer of the year is approaching, and the Eastern and Western finals are in full swing. On this side of the West, the Warriors took away the young Lone Ranger without a single shot, and entered the finals after three years. Stephen Curry won his first Magic Johnson Cup, and he is heading for his first Bill Russell Cup.
On this side of the East, the Celtics are in an inextricable battle. They will compete for the last finals ticket in the tiebreaker next week.
However, in recent days, for the world sports, the most concerned event is not the NBA, but the Champions League final that just ended this morning. Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 to win the 14th Champions League trophy in team history. After watching the game in the early morning, as a football basketball amphibious fan, I was overwhelmed with emotion. I feel that Real Madrid’s climb to the top is somewhat similar to the Spurs’ 14-year championship. So today, please allow the author to make a small difference and talk about football while talking about the Spurs. As for the similarities, please listen to the author slowly.
Broken halberd sinking iron unsold
Before the start of this season, I believe that not many people will be optimistic about Real Madrid. Ronaldo has been away for many years, Bell is on the bench, and the king of the ball is also embarrassing. Mbappe and Haaland, who are coveted by fans, have not come, and the man who has been in the center position for many years is Benzema. . After 18 years of reaching the top, the team is walking, old and old. No one will regard them as the favorites to win the championship. Everyone is more optimistic about the top three in the Premier League, Paris and Bayern. The same goes for the Spurs in ’13 and ’14. The last time he won the championship was in 2007. Time flies, and after several ups and downs, Duncan has experienced a serious injury and lost weight. Manu dragged his broken leg to play the game, and the sports car is not as fast as in the past. GDP is slowly getting old, and young people are just starting out. No one believes that this slow-paced and accumulated injury team can reproduce the glory of the past. Everyone is optimistic about the mighty Miami Big Three, the talented Thunder Twins, and the brain-shattering air-connection city.
Captain!My Captain!
If we say that a team is compared to a sailing ship, then the head coach is the captain who guides the country and reprimands Fang Qiu. And these two teams have encountered great captains who led them to create brilliant. As he led Real Madrid to the top of La Liga this season, Ancelotti completed an unprecedented record of five major league championships, and became the coach with the most number of Champions League wins with four trophies. An Fatty has been the head coach for more than 20 years, and has experienced countless bloody storms. Steady, firm, evergreen, capable of both offense and defense, and not chaotic in the face of danger are his characteristics.
Manchester City’s attack led by Guardiola was like mercury, but he was not good at dealing with disadvantages. An fat was replaced by Rodrigo at the juncture of life and death, scoring two goals in a row, and finally defeated the powerful Blue Moon in extra time; Klopp used to lead Dortmund five Killing Bayern, today even single-handedly built a powerful Liverpool, but in front of the calm and hot An Pang, he was unable to open up the situation for a long time. Of course, in the heart of Tashimi, we also have a very charismatic and powerful captain – Gregg Popovich. Later in the season, he became the coach with the most wins in NBA history. After more than 20 years of hard work, he joined hands with Tim Duncan, the champion with the least room for growth and improvement in history, to turn the humble Spurs into a five-time champion. Duncan has not always been in his prime, Bobo has protected him to the maximum extent and extended his career; and has tapped Parker, Manu, Diao, Leonard, Green, etc. talents; keep pace with the times and keep learning , in line with the trend of the new era, evolved from playing “twin towers” to speeding up and playing “small balls”. In the end, the smoother, quicker, more tacit understanding of the Spurs won the 2014 NBA championship.
How old is the family, how many treasures are there?
If a team wants to win the championship, it must have mature and stable veterans in the field. The veterans do not have to be the absolute main force, but at the critical moment of fighting bayonet, their experience can often give the enemy a fatal blow. 35-year-old Benzema, 37-year-old Modric, 32-year-old Kroos, a bunch of old rivers and lakes, dominated Real Madrid’s three major reversals and a decisive battle. Benzema’s header and frontcourt scramble, Modric’s sliding and precise passing, Kroos’ defense and midfield scheduling. It is admirable that at the end of their careers, they have already achieved success, but they still maintain their blood and vitality, spare no effort to run and fight, and it is precisely this way that these old boys can once again win the Champions League trophy.
As for the Spurs, the old guys’ famous scenes are countless. Duncan played Ibaka on multiple points list in G6 facing the Thunder, and a few backs scored two points to help the team seal the victory; Manu Ginobili dragged his broken leg and rushed into the inside line like a dynamite bag. ; Parker stumbled into the spinning top, lost his balance and scored the ball…
Okay, so, Real Madrid’s revival has come, Spurs, will it be far behind?
