In the last seven games, the Spurs have won seven in a row, but Anxi is bitter, he has played almost all seven games for a long time, and the average playing time is as high as 38 minutes per game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For these 7 victories, Popovich directly canceled the rotation of young players, so Anxi as the main substitute and took most of the playing time.

However, the average playing time of 38 minutes per game in these seven games has also increased Anxi's data again and again, and in seven games, Anxi scored 20+ points in five games, and the average points per game began to rise slowly.

In the previous game against the Heat, Anxi played 40 minutes, the opponent was the Rockets, and Anxi locked James Harden in the whole game and helped the Spurs win.

So before the big game, Popovich directly gave Anxi a holiday, of course, along with Leonard and Tony Parker, who also played 40+ minutes, as for the others, they could only continue to stay in the training hall to participate in training.

Although Anxi was specially approved to take a vacation, he still insisted on training when he returned home, summoning Mike Prokpio and Tony Brown, and Anxi continued to train his breakthrough and step-back jumper.

……

In the Spurs training gym, the field echoed the shouts of training, Popovich took out a handkerchief, wiped his sweat, Sean Marks walked up to him, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Are the reporters here? Okay. Popovich nodded, then turned to Mike Budenholzer and said, "Mike, you're in charge of training." ”

Then he looked into the arena and shouted, "Tim, Tim!

Tim Duncan was stunned, then reacted, ran to the sideline to put on his training clothes, and then left after Popovich.

"Tim, I'll remember later, no matter what questions those reporters ask you, you won't answer them directly, understand?" Popovich took Tim Duncan to the pre-match press conference, walking away without forgetting what he commanded.

Tim Duncan nodded and mumbled.

Coming to the scene of the press conference, the reporters waited here early, the battle between the Heat and the Spurs, needless to say, the importance of this battle, and even some media reporters shouted the slogan of the war of the century, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it basically said the importance of this game.

For the Spurs, this game is not only the battle for the first place in the league, but more importantly, the Spurs hope to use this game to deal a good blow to the Heat, who have won 27 in a row.

The momentum of the Heat is too strong, which is very bad for the Spurs, and if the Heat are allowed to continue this state, then the Spurs will face a Heat whose morale and condition are at the peak in the playoffs.

Therefore, in this battle, the goal of the Spurs is to win!

Before the press conference began, Popovich, who was seated on the stage, said a few words, to the effect that he would not reveal everything about the game set-up, so I hope reporters will not ask relevant questions.

The press officer then opened the announcement of the question session......

"Mr. Popovich, do you know anything about the current Heat? After all, David Fitzdale's Heat has changed a lot. "The first question is very tricky, since Popovich won't ask about the game layout, then you always know something about the Heat, right?

Popovich smiled a little slyly at the question: "I'm sorry, I don't have much time to pay attention to them, so I don't know much about them so far." ”

The reporter who asked the question was stunned, he didn't know much? What the hell are you liar?!

As soon as Popovich's answer ended, another reporter stepped up: "Mr. Popovich, you didn't know much about your opponent before the game, so if you don't get to know your opponent before the game, have the Spurs given up the victory?"

"Giving up the win? Where does that start? We just don't know much about the Heat, and we don't need to know the opponent very well to play, right?" Popovich asked, spreading his hands. "And what do you need me to know, or through you to help me find out?"

Turner Sports' reporter and commentator Craig Sager wanted to laugh a little, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and as soon as this question was asked, basically no one would continue to knock on the side of the game.

However, Craig Sager guessed wrong, and some reporters were not convinced, and Michael Wallace, a special reporter for Miami from ESPN, continued to ask: "The current Heat's style of play is characterized by playing fast and accurately, and through the breakthrough of LeBron James and Dwayne Wade to help role players get space to shoot, what do you think is the obvious difference between the current Heat and the past?"

Popovich shook his head: "I'm not interested in their past. ”

"And now?" asked Michael Wallace, and the eyes of several adjacent reporters lit up, as if they saw the light of day when they asked the key point.

Popovich continued to shake his head: "Now, now I just learned from your mouth that this Heat team is playing fast and accurate right now, so, thank you very much." ”

Michael Wallace's originally happy face froze instantly, and Craig Sager shook his head again, trying to ask something from Popovich's mouth, it was too difficult.

However, Craig Sagar looked at Tim Duncan on the side again, and frowned, as if it was not so easy to dig out the fierce material from Duncan's mouth......

But there are really a few reporters who have turned the finger at Duncan, since Popovich is so spicy, then Duncan can't be the same as him, right?

"Tim, the next game is against the Heat, do you and your teammates have the confidence to win?"

Tim Duncan nodded, "Yes." ”

A very short answer, the style seems to be a bit like Popovich, but Michael Wallace is happy, and directly asked: "But Tim, just now Mr. Popovich said that you don't know anything about the current situation of the Heat, so where does this confidence come from?"

Craig Sagar smiled, well, roundabout the words.

But at this time, Tim Duncan suddenly lowered his head, and then said angrily: "I don't know either." ”

I don't know? What the hell is this answer!

Craig Sager wanted to laugh, he thought at the beginning, before this kind of big game, Popovich will definitely not reveal much, no matter what way you use, you can't expect to get the Spurs' preparation plan.

……

After the pre-game press conference, the Spurs' day of training was over, but Popovich didn't get off work, he pushed open the office door, and then opened the video of one of the Heat's 27-game winning streak, and looked at it carefully, he has watched more than 10 games in the past two days.

It would be a big mistake to say that Popovich didn't know anything about the Heat, on the contrary, by watching these ten games, Popovich already has a pretty good idea of how the current Heat team plays. (To be continued.) )
