'Whether you were happy with the performance of the players on the pitch or not, of course, although we lost the game in the end, their performance on the pitch was beyond reproach.

"As for why we lost this game? Because Spurs are better than us, that's it. ”

"Defensive options against Meng Xu? I admit that before the start of this game, I did underestimate Meng Xu's ability, and Meng Xu also taught us a hard lesson in this game, it is really hard to imagine that a 33-year-old player, a player who has been retired for four seasons, will score 48 points in a Western Conference semifinals, if before the start of this game, someone told me that Meng Xu will score 48 points tonight, then I must think he is crazy. ”

"In the next game, of course, we will definitely strengthen the defense of Meng Xu in the next game, and this kind of thing today, one time is enough."

"How many points does the plan limit Meng Xu's score to? I can't guarantee this, Meng Xu is one of the strongest scoring players in NBA history, although he is now 33 years old, but in today's game, he still showed unparalleled scoring ability and dominance, so I can't be sure, we can limit his scoring to a single game, all we can do is to do our best to let him score in a more difficult way, because for us, it is already a success. ”

After the first game of the series between the Spurs and the Warriors, the head coach of the Warriors, Mark Jackson, became the focus of the post-game press conference, and almost all the reporters on the scene pointed the finger at him, frequently attacking him, asking him why he didn't wrap up Meng Xu in the game, and asked him why he was indifferent when Meng Xu kept cutting points, in short, Mark Jackson is the culprit of the Warriors' loss of today's game, if only Mark Jackson could have been flexible earlier, If you don't move, the Warriors won't lose this game.

"Draymond, can you tell me how you felt when you faced Meng Xu today?" After biting Mark Jackson wildly, the reporters on the scene who felt that it was not enjoyable turned on Draymond Green, who attended the post-game press conference with Mark Jackson, in order to prevent Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the main players from being affected by the loss, and harassing these undisciplined reporters, Mark Jackson took Green, who took Green, the biggest heart, to attend the post-game press conference, but these reporters did not even intend to let Green go, who let his defensive players score 48 points today.

"I think it's okay." Because of the team's loss, Draymond Green, who was devastated by Meng Xu from beginning to end in the game, and after the game, Draymond Green, who had been drooping his face, squeezed out a smile on his face after hearing the questions of the reporters in the audience, but Green's next words made these reporters at the scene almost drop their jaws.

"Meng Shi is the greatest player in the league, it's my honor to be with him, as for my defense against him, I think it's acceptable, at least I'm still very satisfied with my defense."

"Shameless!"

"It's so thick-skinned!"

"It's just that I was given 48 points on the head, and I even had the face to say that I was very satisfied with my defense."

"You may say that Meng cut 48 points on my head, which is the biggest reason why we lost this game, and that's true, but it doesn't mean that I'm not happy with my defense, because at the beginning of this game, Meng said to me to cut at least 50 points on my head, and he only scored 48 points, so I'm still happy with my defense, isn't it? I stopped him and didn't let him score 50 points on my head. ”

When Draymond Green said these words with a proud look, not to mention the reporters in the audience, even the Warriors head coach Mark Jackson, who was sitting next to him, looked at him with a caring look on his face.

"I stopped him and couldn't get him to score 50 points on my head!" Draymond Green's words seemed to be self-deprecating and comforting to himself, but it caused an uproar after the game, and with the help of those undisciplined reporters, Draymond Green's words quickly made headlines in major media and newspapers in the sports section.

Soon, Draymond Green became an internet celebrity, and his phrase "I guarded him." As a rookie in the league, Green clearly underestimated the lower limit of these reporters.

Although he was robbed of the limelight by Draymond Green, Meng Xu's 48 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals still caused a lot of sensation after the game.

On June 8, 2013, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, the second game of the series between the Spurs and the Warriors began, and this game was still played at the AT&T Center Arena, the home of the Spurs.

And Popovich, as the head coach, when arranging tactics before the game, rarely did not make special requirements for each player, let alone repeatedly emphasize tactics, tactics, tactics or anything to them, but let them play this game according to the rhythm of the previous game.

As for the Warriors, after learning from the first game, the Warriors really strengthened their defense against Meng Xu in the second game, but the Warriors, who lacked an orthodox wing defender, even though they sacrificed a full-court defensive strategy, they still couldn't restrain Meng Xu.

In the end, when the game ended, Meng Xu shot 15 of 28 in the game, 5 of 11 three-pointers, and 11 of 13 free throws, and scored 46 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

Facing the reporters who frantically pounced on him after the game, Meng Xu, who was surrounded by water, had another thing in mind, why would Popovich allow himself to shoot crazy in the game against the Warriors? Although in the previous game, Popovich has never limited the number of Meng Xu's shots, but when Meng Xu's timing is unreasonable, Popovich will still reason with Meng Xu, and in these two games, no matter how difficult Meng Xu's shot is, or in the face of the bag, Popovich has not said anything, so in front of such an abnormal Popovich, Meng Xu has been thinking, is Popovich having some conspiracy, or is it an ulterior motive?

In any case, the Spurs will lead the Warriors 2-0 overall after winning today's game, and the Spurs have also taken the lead in the best-of-seven series, and only one win in the next two away games will give the Spurs one foot in the Western Conference Finals.
