Chapter 604 Don't talk about status, seasoned foul
Compared with the excitement of the Mavericks, the situation of the Spurs is not optimistic.
When coach Popovich faced the interview, he was helpless in the plain:
"This is the NBA. No one is sure that they can win. The Mavericks performed better at critical moments. Bruce is the best player in active service. There is no one. Even Kobe and James can't compare with him."
Popovich's tainted milk.
Normally, no one really discusses the topic of Qin Yang's historical status.
But when Popovich said it at this time, many people realized that, damn it, it seems that Qin Yang's historical status is very high.
Although he has only five years of NBA experience, Qin Yang has entered the finals four times and won two championships in the past five years.
This is the third time.
Among them was a regular season MVP, an All-Star Game MVP, and a finals MVP.
Among the active players, only Kobe and James can slightly win the honor, but they are different from Qin Yang.
After Kobe injured his Achilles tendon, he was just waiting to retire.
Although James was at his peak, he entered the league five years earlier than Qin Yang. If we really want to compare, Qin Yang has an obvious advantage.
No.1 after Jordan, Qin Yang is very likely to be in the top position.
The issue of historical status, after all, has to be judged by honor.
When Qin Yang was asked about this topic, he looked confused:
"Historical status? I think it's still very early. This kind of issue has never been decided by a player. If there is, I hope to talk about it when I retire ten years later!"
Popovich was obviously uneasy and kind, and the tainted milk made the media pay attention to the Mavericks and Qin Yang.
As long as the Mavericks get a little distraction, it's good news for the Spurs.
At this time, the Spurs have time to deal with the disputes within the team.
Yes, in the locker room after the game, Tony Parker and Kawhi almost got into a fight, and the two had an emotional argument.
But this matter was suppressed, and no one knew.
The Spurs have internal and external troubles.
The only chance to turn internal into external trouble, as long as the Mavericks, the Spurs will have the last chance, otherwise Popovich obviously has to make a difficult decision, where the future of the Spurs will go.
The West leads 2-0, and the East also has a great advantage.
After returning to the home court, the Heat took back a game, leading the total score 2-1.
Leading is nothing, the key is that the domineering of the Big Three on the court makes people helpless, and the Pacers have obvious disadvantages in this round of the series.
The Pacers' lineup is not bad. In the second game, Stephenson even staged a classic breath-blowing performance.
It's a pity that the Heat still have good suspense about winning.
Roy Hibbert has completely turned into Gao Yuanyuan. In these three games, fans have basically scolded Chengxiang. There has never been an insider in NBA history. In more than 30 minutes of playing time, he scored 3 of 1 and scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Heat's advantage over the Pacers is crushing.
On both ends of the offense and defense, except for Paul George who played well, no one else played a big role. David West performed well, but on the defensive end, he couldn't do more.
The Pacers can survive because the Heat are really helpless when faced with a shrinking defense.
Only Ray Allen and James Jones are good three-pointers in the team.
This lineup is amazing.
On May 5, after a period of rest, the third game in the Western Conference began.The Spurs are at home against the Mavericks.
The battle between cattle and horses is imminent.
In this game, the Spurs are fighting with their backs.
After losing 0-3, you can basically take a shower and go home, the players can get ready to play, and the coach can also prepare for the next season.
Therefore, the Spurs burst out with unprecedented passion in this game.
From the very beginning of the game, the Spurs' defensive scale was stronger than in the previous two games.
The confrontation at the playoff level is very strong in itself, and the general team's performance in the playoffs will be greatly affected.
This is why physical fitness is very important to players.
Ordinary players, even if they have good skills, will completely stop playing if they can't do it in the playoffs.
But no matter how strong the defense is, it must be scaled.
The scale of this game is very large.
Popovich is very sophisticated, and he used actions similar to fouls to deal with the Mavericks at the beginning. The referee was forced by the pressure of the home court and did not whistle some penalties that could be whistled.
Then, the penalty scale will remain the same.
The scale is large and the confrontation is strong.
That's bad news for the Mavericks.
Because the Mavericks' offense is too dependent on air cuts and shooting, if the defense is too strong, the shooting percentage will drop, and air cuts will become more difficult.
As soon as the game started, the Mavericks started to fall behind.
Qin Yang played helplessly. Even if he played well, he couldn't do anything. After the others received the ball, they couldn't get a good chance at all.
The Spurs are desperately defending.
In the first quarter, the Mavericks fell behind.
Qin Yang did not play in the second quarter as usual.
After halftime, the Mavericks trailed by 16 points.
In the third game, Qin Yang broke out, and all kinds of singles narrowed the score, but it was useless.The point difference is still around 8 points.
In the fourth quarter, at a critical moment, Qin Yang broke out again.
This time the luck was not so good.
The Spurs really did their best and fouled Qin Yang forcefully.In the last 6 minutes, they were still 12 points behind.
Coach Carlisle called a timeout and replaced Qin Yang.
The Mavericks conceded.
In the third game, the Mavericks lost, with a total score of 1-2.
After the game, Coach Carlisle looked indignant:
"I seem to have seen a wrestling match. There is no such provision in the basketball rules that allows players to pull their clothes and hug. San Antonio's basketball is really different."
When Qin Yang was interviewed, he shrugged:
"I don't know how to evaluate this game. I feel that the whole game, I was fighting with people, using my arms and elbows. This is not a normal NBA game. The league should correct the penalty scale. Even the home whistle should not be like this."
Nowitzki:
"This is the most unbelievable game since I joined the NBA. It seems that everything has returned to when I first entered the league. At that time, the playoffs were roughly like this. This seems to be a cycle."
Nowitzki is also a premium black.
The NBA more than ten years ago was a league that advocated confrontation.
The NBA rules at that time were very simple and rude. Many actions that are considered foul now were nothing at all at the time.
Otherwise, the winning team at that time would definitely have a bad guy.
Otherwise, the team will not be able to go on in the playoffs.
Compared with the Mavericks' discontent, Spurs coach Popovich is in a good mood: "Of course, they are losers. They have reason to complain. I don't care about anything. This is the difference between a winner and a loser."
Popovich's hatred is in place.
But it is an indisputable fact that the ratings plummeted as the game started and ended.
