Chapter 178 The first loss in the playoffs of your career, we want to see you cry
The other side of the Western Conference semifinals.
The game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves finally produced some sparks.
Wolf King Garnett will not surrender easily in front of F4, not to mention their regular season results are better than the Lakers.
Seeing that the Lakers were about to take away the game again in the third quarter, Madman and Garnett stood up to bite the score on both ends of the offense and defense, and established a 10-point advantage, and persisted until the end to get a difficult victory.
Both the Eastern Pistons and the Pacers beat their opponents by more than 10 points. Compared with G1, which only scored 57 points, the Nets finally made some progress in this game, scoring 80 points under the strict defense of the Pistons...
April 5
Oakland Center
G2 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Warriors and Spurs started on time.
In this game, the Spurs coach Popovich didn't even accept the pre-match interview.
Because he only said one sentence.
"I'm not doing pre-match interviews tonight because... I'm afraid I won't have money for a taxi."
His cold humor made the reporters on the scene laugh.
After all, the interview after the last game made him talk about his feelings and cost him tens of thousands of dollars.
The Spurs don't need much passion in the game, they just need to step by step and follow the coach's pre-match intention to score points, defend, and win the game.
There is no need for a superstar with crazy shots like Kobe. In Popovich's system, everyone must learn to play team basketball.
The game begins.
The slow-moving Spurs center still lost to Zhang You, who never failed to jump the ball.
After Director Lu got the ball, his confidence exploded at this moment, and Zhang You was put on the pick-and-roll.
Then he threw it inside, expecting that Zhang You would be a dunk dunk by Xiao Da Da.
"Snapped!"
Mistake!
The intention is too obvious!
Duncan extended his arm to intercept the pass from Lue.
It blocked the route for him to deliver shells to Zhang You.
The French supercar Tony Parker got the ball and kicked the gas pedal to the end and went straight to the Warriors basket.
There was no one there, and he looked at Lu who was chasing after him frantically.
It was so easy, Lu opened his lips slightly behind him and watched Parker complete a fast break layup.
"The Spurs seem to be well-prepared for this game! They predicted Lu's pass for the first ball. Hey, Lu's pass is not deceptive."
"Yes, even if all the audience know that he is going to pass to Zhang You, the tactics are still too simple."
Director Zhang of the Sports Channel felt a little anxious when he saw that Lu made a mistake at the beginning and gave the Spurs 2 points.
The scene language was also given to Parker, Mr. Popovich and Zhang You.
The Spurs are not unprepared for this battle.
They conducted a lot of analysis on the Warriors' game video and formulated corresponding tactics.
It is necessary to cut off the connection between other Warriors players and Zhang You.
"Warriors players can't feel that good every game."
This is also Popovich's analysis.
The same is true for Zhang You. It is impossible to simply kill them with a shot.
A 2:0 start is nothing.
The Warriors repeated the same trick, letting two players pick and roll an elevator door for Zhang You.
"Dududu!!"
Sure enough, the referee began to become stricter.
Screen foul!
Blow the whistle without hesitation.
Mourinho stood up abruptly and raised his hand to the referee.
"Okay, Coach Eric, your pick-and-roll caused public outrage, we have to be stricter."
"If you can't beat the whistle?"
"Okay! Coach, you managed to eat a T from me!"
Coach Musselman's hand was about to point to the referee's head. Such behavior made him get a T without hesitation.
"We need to calm down. Our coaching staff and players lack experience in the playoffs. I hope they will not be in a hurry."
The voice of commentator Tim Roy reached every fan in the Bay Area through the radio.
The unfavorable start made it difficult for the Warriors to open the situation.
Immediately afterwards, Duncan also used his own two-pointer against Juwan Howard.
Hit steadily.
On the other hand, Zhang You was frantically double-teamed by the Spurs as soon as he took the three-pointer.
As long as a breakthrough is made to the free throw line.
"Bang!"
One of two free throws.
Zhang You's face turned dark.
Could it be that he has become the essence of human two free throws and one hit like LeBron?
"Tonight's situation is very unfavorable to the Warriors. The Spurs, who came prepared, used new tactics against Zhang You. They just wanted to disrupt his offensive rhythm."
"When Zhang You's offense stagnated, Carter also suffered under Bowen's defense. Can other players stand up?"
This game made Warriors fans very aggrieved.
After all, what they have mostly seen this season is the Warriors' big kills.
But in this game, the generals of the Warriors turned into blacksmiths.
The more you vote, the more impatient you become.
The Warriors trailed by 10 points in the first quarter.
The Spurs' rhythm was very steady, and Horry and Ginobili's three-pointers also opened.
28:18
"Don't worry! Leave the ball to me."
In the first quarter, the effect of playing the ball for his teammates was not good. Zhang You directly grabbed Lu's job and came to the No. [-] position.
The coaching staff discussed and offered a "three high" lineup.
Simply let Robinson and Howard go inside, and Zhang You goes outside to bully the little guy.
Knowing that the Spurs are on the perimeter, they start pressing or double-teaming him to prevent him from easily shooting from the three-point line.
Zhang You chose to make a strong assault inward.
Hard chiseling!
Misplaced he overthrew Brown directly.
Duncan and Bowen's double team ensued.
With a flash in Zhang You's eyes, he dribbled the ball behind his back and pulled it under his crotch, passing directly between the two of them.
In the exclamation of the audience, Zhang You passed through the eye of a needle like a needle.
"BANG!!" A forceful and angry buckle.
The atmosphere at home instantly ignited again.
Everyone is aware of it.
"Zhang! I'm going to take over the game!"
Indeed, it is impossible for you to limit Zhang You's time for a whole game.
Next, Zhang You became the Warriors' scoring machine.
15 points in a single quarter in the second quarter and 16 points in a single quarter in the third quarter.
Hitting the Spurs inside again and again.
Although the Spurs did not defend Zhang You, they worked hard to cut off Zhang You's connection with his teammates.
Carter scored only 15 points tonight, and Richardson has not scored 20 points in this round of the series.
The tactics deployed by the Spurs worked wonders tonight.
"brush!"
Robert Horry made a three-pointer that could be said to kill the game in the last minute of the fourth quarter.
He used his own strength to prove that his championship ring is really not a mess.
105:99
The Warriors' sluggish offensive and defensive state made them lose G2.
Zhang You scored 42 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists.
The 2 assists also set a new career low for Zhang You.
Duncan scored 20+10, Ginobili scored 22 points, Parker scored 18+7, and other substitute players also contributed their energy.
League commentators saw that the Warriors, who often beat other teams this season, lost to the defending champions and expressed their views.
"The Spurs use the 'reverse Jordan rule'. They allow Zhang You to score, but they don't allow him to drive his teammates. This makes the Warriors very uncomfortable."
"After their magical three-pointer tactics failed, the Warriors have been seen by the Spurs. Just like Big Ben said, Zhang You's offense cannot help the team win the championship."
"Yes, Zhang You scored 42 points tonight, but he still can't beat the defending champion."
One failure makes ghosts and snakes spring up like mushrooms after rain.
The Warriors have no secrets, they are going to lose all the time!
Who made the Warriors the public enemy of the league?
Post-match press conference
Zhang You sat on the stage and faced the reporters' long guns and short guns.
"Zhang, is your deal this season really successful? Now, they all say that the offense can't win the championship, because they saw the epitome of this conclusion in this game."
"After all, you are not Jordan. How much confidence do you have in winning the championship?"
"Facing the sophistication of the defending champion, the Warriors still seem too immature."
Seeing Zhang You ushered in the first loss of his playoff career, the reporters were very excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
They expected to see Zhang You's expression of frustration, loss, or anger.
Too bad they were disappointed.
No expression, very official, just like a press spokesman.
"Ah... what did you say. Ah yes yes yes."
"You mean to win the championship? Since I came here, the team management, um... Coach Eric, Manager Chris, and the boss have warmly welcomed me..."
"They gave the opportunity to play for a team with history and accepted me."
"I just want to give back with my game..."
"Well, it doesn't make sense to understand this matter in this way. Uh-huh. You said I would join the Spurs. Oh, I haven't thought about joining other teams for the time being. I don't know in the future. Even if I do, maybe I will sign with the Warriors in the future. The next day the contract goes back to the Warriors and retires..."
The reporters were dumbfounded.
Asked about loneliness.
We look forward to seeing your negative emotions and seeing your rampage!
That's it? ! !
Don't ask.
Zhang You's speech was at least at the level of a vice-ministerial leader.
You should fucking run for president!
