282 The Efforts of the Great!
"God, LaMarcus actually hit a three-pointer on 0-of-4 shooting, and it was a crucial shot because with Aldridge's three-pointer, the two sides were back on the same page again."
"It's also very difficult, for LaMarcus, three-point is not what he's good at, and besides, as we all saw earlier, he scored against Draymond Green, a defensive giant."
"Wonderful, I can only say wonderful, this is the real pinnacle matchup, the Warriors are super teams, the Spurs are the same, they didn't give up when they were 21 points behind, that's just that, the average team can't do it"
"The two sides are back on the same page again, and the next redeployment will be even more important for the managers of both sides"
…………
"LaMarcus, good job, I keep repeating, you're one of the core of our team, we have the greatest trust in each other at all times, so, again, as long as you have the opportunity, be bold and decisive, don't be afraid of not being able to shoot, all of you are the same, yes, San Antonio needs superstars, but I want to see you all play your part......"
After Aldridge hit a three-pointer, Kerr immediately asked for a timeout, and with 44 seconds left in the first quarter, he was going to lay out a strategy, which was instantly erased by the Spurs.
On the Spurs' side, Popovich surprised Jin Feng for the third time in this game, Jin Feng didn't expect that the old man, who had been calm before, suddenly became so excited after the team smoothed out the point difference.
"He's trying to influence the team with his emotions"
Looking at Popovich carefully, such an idea suddenly popped up in Jin Feng's mind, and this thought instantly shocked Jin Feng.
Perhaps from this moment on, Jin Feng truly understood the reason why the Spurs have continued to be strong for 20 years!
It can be seen that Popovich is very satisfied with the performance of the players during this period, in particular, the old man praised and affirmed Aldridge.
In fact, Aldridge has been criticized since the playoffs this season, and more often, Jin Feng and his teammates who know the real situation have been praising Aldridge.
That's right, it's a thumbs up!
Fans criticized Aldridge's performance because they didn't know the real situation, and Jin Feng and his teammates naturally knew the real situation.
The truth is that Aldridge has been sacrificing himself this playoffs, and even this season, for the good of the team.
A lot of the time, Aldridge is focusing on the defensive end where he's not good at it, and it's no secret that fans don't pay much attention to a player's contribution on the defensive end, or that a player's performance on the defensive end is often difficult to show in numbers.
Only Jin Feng and other Spurs players know that if it weren't for Aldridge's meticulous work on the defensive end of the interior line, perhaps the Spurs would not be able to go now.
After all, you can figure it out with your heels that the Spurs can't fight with the Warriors until now only by attacking or perimeterly.
As the head coach, Popovich naturally knows Aldridge's dedication, but many times, he can only keep Aldridge's sacrifice in his heart, because this is how the Spurs have always been a team.
Popovich has always believed that when he does his job well, when his players can execute his assignments well, then the final success must belong to them, and when it comes to success, his players, every single one, deserve success.
It's like Bowen at the beginning, just like Ginobili who is still holding on to it today.
Popovich had intended to remain silent like this, but the reality forced him to change.
Because the Spurs' opponent is the Warriors, they are the most terrifying Golden State Warriors in NBA history.
So, for the sake of victory, for the sake of the final O'Brien Cup, Popovich chose not to remain silent anymore.
He wants to make the once low-key Spurs no longer exist, and he wants to start a silver-gray army that meets firewood.
So, he mobilized all his emotions, he affirmed Aldridge's performance in a high-profile manner, and he gave a thumbs up to Aldridge, the player he felt the most guilty about this season, and he wanted to completely stimulate the blood in Aldridge's blood!
Is the mild-mannered-looking LaMarcus Aldridge bloody?
The answer is obvious.
Just imagine, if a person is not bloody, can he work his way up to become a top interior player in the NBA with congenital heart disease?
"Lads, take out your blood, show your madness, win this game, and we're basically booked the championship"
"Kehuai, Jin, Jonathan, and even Manu, come up with your tricks and use your madness"
Uncharacteristically, off the Spurs bench, Popovich began an unprecedented campaign before the battle.
"Listen, the last attack, Stephen holds the ball, and then Drummondra goes to the high ........."
"And, guys, so far in this series, I want to say to everybody, I'm lucky to be able to coach you amazing players"
"But I ask you to think about it, what exactly are our goals? That's right, it's a championship, we're the best team in NBA history, so, fucking lose, we're going to be the last ones to reach the top."
"But, we have to admit that all of this is going to require energy from each of us, Kevin, we all know what you've sacrificed for the championship, Stephen, Klay, Drummond, I don't think we'll ever forget the last last season's final loss."
"So, we've got to play tougher, we've got to fight bloodier, it's our home field, and we've got to tell the San Antonio bastards with hard punches that this is not the place for them to be presumptuous"
………
At the same time, on the Warriors' side, head coach Kerr, after arranging the final offensive tactics, also launched a general mobilization to his players before the fierce battle.
Popovich wants to lead the Spurs to win the O'Brien Cup, and he wants to lead the Warriors to that honor as well.
I have to admit that Popovich and Kerr are both very good managers in the current position, and they know what to do and what to say.
'It's a crucial game and both sides understand the importance of this game, so it's going to be a race against the clock'
"Both great managers are doing whatever it takes..."
Naturally, Popovich and Cole's actions did not escape the eyes of the on-site commentators.........
