Three Consecutive MVPs!!

Sun Hao was stunned when he saw that.

Duncan had made that gesture in history too, and it had also been in this season.

It had been in Game 6 of the Finals against the Heat, when the Spurs had already held a 3-2 series lead.

If they won Game 6, the Spurs would be champions.

And after three quarters of that game, the Spurs had still led the Heat by ten points.

Given how poorly the Heat's Big Three had performed in clutch moments back then, the Spurs had had a great chance to take the game.

Unfortunately, the Spurs themselves had played poorly in the final quarter. They scored only 20 points and were forcibly dragged into Overtime by the Miami Heat.

The Heat gained the upper hand again in Overtime, and in a similar sequence, Duncan did the same thing after missing a crucial putback.

That emotion had been completely understandable. Being reversed after holding such a huge advantage, the Spurs had lost their best opportunity.

And that was indeed what happened. The Spurs lost the Game 7 showdown on the road and ultimately let the championship slip away in regret.

But the situation now was a little different. This was only Game 1, and the Spurs had not even been reversed.

Theoretically, Duncan should not have been so frustrated and dejected.

They could not defend, and their current offense could not trade blows with the Lakers either. Add in that drowning-man-clutching-at-straws feeling in the fourth quarter, and Duncan's frustration became
