"The Spurs are old, and it is difficult to beat the Warriors' youth storm."

"Spurs youngsters Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian are weak in attack and are destined to be embarrassed."

"The regular season record can't hide the twilight of the Spurs, and experts predict that the Warriors will advance to the Western Conference semifinals 4-2."

Nima, who blew Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian into peerless pride in the first game, is now an ordinary player and has become the foil of the Splash Brothers.

In fact, the two of them are hard enough, Leonard 11+12, including 7 frontcourt rebounds, as well as steals and blocks, Zhang Xiaotian came off the bench to score 12 points, which is also decent, but it is a little ugly compared to the first game.

Not to mention the talk outside, Popovich was also dissatisfied with the team's performance, and the players did not dare to speak out during training, especially the young players.

However, in front of reporters, Popovich will not blame the players and take the blame on himself.

"The players did what they had to do, I couldn't do anything, but luckily they usually take turns."

"If they're still that accurate, we'll just have to wait until they lose their touch."

On the same day that the Spurs failed, the Heat defended the dignity of the king, defeating the Bulls in the third quarter to make the main team clock out of work, beating the opponent by 37 points, Jimmy Butler returned to his rookie appearance again, and was beaten back to his original shape like Zhang Xiaotian.

But the process was very tragic, the two sides played with fire, and all kinds of fouls caught up with the wrestling ring.

In comparison, the game between the Spurs and the Warriors is much smaller and fresher.

After two games, the battle between the Spurs and Warriors will continue at the Oakland Arena.

The previous game was not ideal, and the Spurs players were also holding their back.

Popovich said that they could only do it, even if it was to fool the reporter, they could not bear it.

Skilled athletes have a competitive heart, not to mention Zhang Xiaotian, several young players get together to discuss the means of defending each other, and the old players are also gearing up.

They have experience, so they are waiting for the Warriors' group of young players to make mistakes so that they can teach this group of playoff rookies a hard lesson.

On May 10, Golden State, Split returned from injury and returned to the starting line-up.

Because Draymond Green didn't defend Duncan well, the Warriors put Azery back in the starting lineup, and David Lee was on the roster but won't start.

He's not back to his best yet, and Mark Jackson is worried about him ruining the team's current feel, knowing that David Lee has the ball and doesn't have much to defend.

At the beginning of the game, Lao Shifo actually won the jump ball, and it seemed that Duncan's calm face was also full of energy.

Next, Duncan scored, Duncan's hat wanted to shoot in front of him, Parker scored, Parker scored again, and the most familiar Spurs duo reappeared.

Curry immediately responded with a three-pointer, but the Spurs were unaffected by the away road and were more active defensively, Curry hit a counterattack past Parker and floated a shot, but it was dropped by Danny Green's cap who pounced on him.

Danny Green has also given up for the sake of his reputation, and he has already said in private that he wants to focus all his energy on the defensive end, even if he can't score a point, Curry and Klay Thompson don't think about it.

His defensive strength is also why Popovich likes him.

It may also be that there is a problem with the mentality, and the hand is not so good, Klay Thompson was really uncomfortable being marked by him in the first quarter, and he surprisingly missed a goal.

The Warriors don't have the magic touch, and the Spurs are coming.

Parker didn't come up with any new moves, that is, his ecstatic breakthrough small mid-range shot, which made the Warriors want to die, and Mark Jackson asked Klay Thompson to switch defenses and didn't solve the problem.

No matter how good the single defense is, a cover is solved, and Parker's mid-range shooting is also an unsolvable weapon in the league.

And the Warriors don't win on defense in the first place, they have to show a touch of openness.

There are Parker and Duncan to make a difference, and Zhang Xiaotian is at ease to play a supporting role.

Draymond Green, who didn't have such a good offense due to the need for firepower, fell out of favor, and Mark Jackson only used him as a weapon against the Spurs.

The Warriors trailed by double digits at one point, and it took a rotation of Ginobili to recover a few points, and at halftime, the Spurs led by nine points.

Nine points is nothing, but this is to be compared, the Warriors played the first two games relatively smoothly, and when they return to their home court, not to mention that the fans expect them to perform better, the players also know that the Spurs are not that strong.

Now as soon as there is a gap, the young men of the Warriors are a little hit.

Warriors head coach Mark Jackson is neither criticism nor praise.

Popovich joked at halftime, "If you can play like this in the second half, I'll be much easier in front of reporters." ”

The second half started a little more difficult than expected, Klay Thompson couldn't have been scoreless, and Curry couldn't have relaxed their defense even if they weren't so punctual with the ball.

The point was that Parker's hand felt a little cold, and then Duncan stepped up and continued to hit his back at the expense of physical strength, which was a rare sight in the regular season.

This is the playoffs, and to win the game, no matter the newcomers and veterans, you have to do your best.

When the Warriors were not feeling good, they also worked on defense, relying on Klay Thompson's hand to recover, and they once pressed the score to 2 points.

But they immediately learned what a demon knife is, and when the team needs to score, Ginobili's demon knife, which is already a little rusty, will shine again.

The Spurs don't care about making Curry easy, but who in the league dares to make Ginobili easy, even if the front can be empty and iron, but it is difficult to hit all kinds of difficulties at critical moments, this is a demon, not taking the usual path.

During the rotation, the Spurs gradually extended their lead.

The Warriors are feeling the pressure, and the home crowd is worried.

Curry and Klay Thompson both returned to the court early, and they finally snatched home-court advantage from the Spurs, and they didn't want to return it immediately.

At this time, Parker and Duncan both showed a trace of fatigue, flying is not a comfortable thing, and age has no advantage.

Klay Thompson hit another three-pointer and the Oakland Arena erupted in a tsunami of cheers.

They can win the game, it only takes a few threes, and the Splash Brothers will not let them down.

The Warriors players also felt that they had weathered the most dangerous stage and that it was time to reap the win.

It's just that they feel as if they're ignoring something, what the hell it is.

"Landry made up for the foul, the ball still went in, 2+1, there is no doubt that he has this ability, the Warriors should be careful." The narrator sighed.

A small group of Chinese fans on the court shouted Zhang Xiaotian's name, and the Warriors reacted that the Spurs still had an extremely dangerous guy.

Zhang Xiaotian's performance was too ordinary to be forgotten before, but now, he will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
