"Absolutely, undoubtedly, Shaq, China Jin will be the biggest x factor in this game, in terms of the performance in the first quarter, Kawaii, KD, Stephen, their performance is not as good as China Jin"

Barkley's big mouth kept squirming, as if he was the one who scored 18 points in the first quarter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Of course, it is understandable why he is so excited.

Before the game, he had an argument with O'Neal, thinking that the Spurs would win the game, while the old enemy O'Neal was against him.

Judging from the score at the end of the first quarter of the game, it cannot be said that the Spurs fighting at home have an absolute advantage, but at least from the first quarter of the game, it can be seen that in this game, the Spurs fighting at home have a very high probability of winning the game.

Team leader Leonard barely exerted much strength in the first quarter, although the second leader Aldridge did not shoot, and even the other players of the Spurs performed tepidly, but it is enough to have a hot Chinese Jin, look at Popovich's immobile look, you can imagine how confident Popovich is in winning the Warriors at home in this game with Jin Feng's hot hand shining in the first quarter.

"Charles, I have to admit that China Jin played really well, but you don't have to gloat because of this, you have to understand, who is the opponent against the Spurs? Or what kind of team is the opponent that China Jin is facing, the difference between the two teams is not much, and the game has only been played for one quarter, which is hardly a problem for a team like the Warriors with explosive offensive firepower."

Perhaps, in the basketball world, the "big shark" O'Neal will bow his head, but he will never bow to Barkley, he can only say that it is so strong!

The TNT commentary booth was chattering constantly, and on the pitch, Popovich was giving a routine interview between the interstitial sessions!

"Mr. Greg, were you surprised by the strong performance of the Chinese Jin in the first quarter?"

A female journalist in charge of interviewing Popovich asked Popovich such a question.

"Surprised? Come on? You know, Madam Reporter, for a manager, no matter what kind of performance his players have, you have to be very calm, because you have to have a voice in your heart all the time reminding yourself that he is being paid, playing well, it's just his job."

Well, it's clear that the old man is very naughty and uncooperative!

"Mr. Greg, will you continue to give China Jin a chance in the next game?"

The female reporter had interviewed Popovich more than once, so she knew the old man's style very well, and since the old man didn't want to answer the first question seriously, she changed the question.

'No one knows where the game will go next, but for a manager, no matter how well his players have been, you have to continue to have faith in him, so obviously, in the next games, when the team needs him, he will continue to be on the pitch."

…………

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Jin Feng was replaced by Mills to rest, and the coaches of both sides began to line up with substitutes.

On the Warriors' side, Curry and Durant rested, Green and Thompson led three benches, while on the Spurs' side, Leonard and Jin Feng rested, Aldridge, who did not perform well in the first quarter, and Parker, who did not play much in the first quarter, also played with three substitutes.

Take a look at the lineup that the Warriors fielded from the beginning of the second quarter, and you may be able to understand why they are the favorites to win the championship.

Because they have the Big Four, in a game, there is at least one giant on the field at almost any time, and what does the title of giant mean? I believe people understand that this is something that many teams can't do.

After the start of the second quarter, the Spurs side, Aldridge continued to slump on the offensive end, but his performance on the defensive end was very good.

Although this has a certain relationship with the Warriors' weak interior line, it cannot be denied that Aldridge has improved on the defensive end this season.

Aldridge can't play this on the offensive end, and for the Spurs, other players need to step up, who is this person?

Not Tony Parker, but Mills.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Popovich sent a dual point guard backcourt composed of Parker and Mills, what the purpose is, it is not clear for the time being, but it is clear that Mills and Parker exist together, definitely not to strengthen the backcourt defense, because the defensive ability of these two people is really not flattering!

Mills' main task on the field is not to defend, and at this time, he stepped up, so naturally, he could only stand up on the offensive end.

Fans who are familiar with the Spurs know that in recent seasons, there have been "two knives" on the Spurs bench, one is the "old demon knife" Ginobili, and the other is the "nerve knife" Mills.

It is said that Ginobili is an "old demon knife" because on the one hand, Ginobili is indeed old, and on the other hand, it is said that Ginobili is very demonic whether it is a "cunning European step" on the offensive end or a "batman" on the defensive end, and he is as sharp as a sharp knife to give his opponent a fatal blow.

And saying that Mills is a "nerve knife" is mainly reflected in Mills's offensive end, once the offensive state is turned on, once he shoots crazy, Mills belongs to the kind of guy who becomes a super scorer in seconds.

Then, at this time, Mills stood up, which means that one of the two spurs reappears in the rivers and lakes, no matter what kind of knife it is, as long as it reappears in the rivers and lakes, it will naturally cause a bloody storm.

What kind of bloody storm caused by Mills's "nerve knife" is a scene.

That is, in just 2 minutes of the start of the second quarter, Mills made 3 of 4 three-pointers from the outside and scored 9 points, helping the Spurs instantly expand the gap to 15 points.

Directly beat the Warriors head coach Kerr to the sidelines, and yelled directly at the disciples on the court, especially the roar at Thompson, and, immediately asked for a timeout, during the timeout, Kerr's anger also kept coming from the Warriors' bench.

…………

In the two teams of the Warriors and the Spurs, there are 5.6 All-Star players, if you talk about offensive ability, I'm afraid Durant is the best, but if you talk about scoring explosiveness, Klay Thompson, known as the "Buddha", will definitely not let Durant be beautiful.

Maybe it was a moment when he naturally got his shooting skill pack back, or maybe he was woken up by a scolding from Kerr, in short, after returning from a timeout, Thompson immediately became different.

Facing Mills, he hit two three-pointers in a row from the outside, and seemed to be announcing to everyone that the soup god mode was officially opened.

In the next few rounds, Thompson burst out and made fouls, and suddenly slashed 14 points to narrow the gap to 1 point.

Finally, the real climax of this game officially arrived, because at this time, the immobile Popovich could not sit still for the first time in this game......
