After the victory over the Pelicans, the regular season gradually came to an end, and the Warriors declined after Durant's injury, and the Spurs gradually overtook and became the first in the league in the regular season. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Spurs have become first in the West, second in the West for the Warriors, and third in the West for the Rockets. And in the East, the Cavaliers are first, the Celtics are second, and the Raptors are third.

The eighth place in the West is the Mavericks who later made a strong effort to reach the playoffs, and fans can't help but start recalling the bull-horse battle of the year when they saw the Spurs vs. Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs.

It's a pity that Duncan has retired, and the driver is still strong, successfully scoring 30,000 career points.

However, the current bull-horse battle is still full of highlights, the Spurs have become the league's No. 1 leader, and the Mavericks are also in hot form in the final stage of the regular season.

During the break between the regular season and the playoffs, the Spurs began to practice non-stop, gearing up for the playoffs.

In training, He Dong's speed and shooting ability and ball control are still very stable, and the most improved is the passing organization ability, Duncan as a team consultant, although he is an inside player, but he has a lot of experience in organizing offense, and many experiences have benefited He Dong a lot, which is very helpful for He Dong's organizational ability improvement.

Under Duncan's guidance, Dedmon has not improved much on the offensive end, but he has improved very significantly on defense, and if he meets Cousins in the future, he will not easily let him score.

Every day when he returned to the apartment, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, except for him, Leonard and Ade were training very hard, as the core of the team, all three of them had to work very hard to adjust their state to the best level.

"I think you're already a core ace for Spurs." In the apartment, Yuan Ji flipped through the basketball news about He Dong.

At the end of the season, He Dong became the best rookie with an average of 25+5+5 data per game, and he repeatedly performed brilliantly on the court, especially at critical moments.

He Dong became the key Mr. Spurs, which is also what Popovich meant, Leonard and Ade are sometimes too dull and lack a domineering spirit to look at the world at critical moments.

And He Dong is exactly the person Popovich is looking for.

"The regular season is over, but the season is not over, the playoffs are the real journey, do you think we can win the championship?" He Dong said with a smile.

"Hmm~." Yuan Ji pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think that although the Warriors are injured, they should be able to make a comeback in the playoffs, and their strength should not be underestimated, they are your number one opponent in the West, and the strength of the Rockets should not be underestimated. If the Spurs and Cavaliers meet again in the Finals, I think the Spurs will have a tough time because Parker can't guard Irving. ”

He Dong nodded and said: "That's right, but this is all analysis, in the middle of the game, I don't think we will lose, the Warriors are very powerful, but Durant may not come back in the playoffs, the Rockets all rely on Harden's organization, if we can find the right opportunity to strangle Harden, then the game can also be won, as for the Cavaliers, it is really difficult to deal with, Parker is difficult to defend Irving, but JR Smith or Korver can't prevent me." ”

He Dong looked very confident when he analyzed and spoke, as an NBA player, he has played against the Warriors, Cavaliers, and Rockets, and he feels the deepest and has won the game, so he believes that the Spurs have the possibility of winning the championship, and it is not low.

In addition to tactics, it also depends on the players' own performance, and in the competitive world, everything is possible.

……

The Spurs held a press conference before the clash with the Mavericks in the playoffs, at which a reporter asked He Dong: "May I ask Mr. He Dong, do you think you can sweep the Mavericks this time and advance to the second round?" ”

If the answer is not good, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the Mavericks, which is a question that tests emotional intelligence.

Hearing this, although He Dongming knew that the Spurs were likely to sweep 4-0 to advance, he still had to give face to the opponent, and to give face to others was to give himself face.

He Dong said with a smile: "Everyone is a playoff team, and the strength is not low, as for the big score, I don't think it makes sense, it completely depends on the performance of the whole team, play well, win more, and you can advance early." If you don't play well, you can only go home early to rest, I think there are no absolutes on the field, everything can happen, everything must be taken seriously. ”

This kind of muddy answer made it impossible for the reporter to ask the question any further, and then the reporter changed the subject: "May I ask Mr. He Dong, how many points do you plan to average in this series?" ”

Hearing this kind of question, He Dong really wanted to leave the scene quickly, reporters always like to ask this kind of trouble-provoking question. He is not Jordan and Kobe Bryant as the absolute boss of the team, and they have unlimited firing rights. The Spurs are team basketball, everyone's right to shoot is based on tactics, there is a chance to shoot to shoot, and a forced brainless shot will definitely be replaced by the old man and criticized.

But He Dong still maintained his demeanor and said with a smile: "The team is not alone, everyone must obey the coach's arrangement, in the Spurs, you can naturally shoot when you have the opportunity, but don't force your shot if you don't have the opportunity, we are a whole, teammates who fight side by side." ”

It was another kind of muddy answer, He Dong didn't give the reporter a chance to continue asking questions after answering this time, and hurriedly left the scene to clear up for a while.

When he got to the back, Yuan Ji walked up to He Dong and said with a smile: "I found that you are becoming more and more superstar-like, and you talk like a superstar." ”

The Spurs entered the playoffs, and of course Yuan Ji would watch the ball without landing, and according to her words, she would accompany He Dong to complete the championship road.

"No way, the questions that reporters ask every day are so boring, it seems that there is no manuscript to write without asking these questions." He Dong shrugged his shoulders helplessly and smiled.

The first game is crucial, Spurs as a strong side, the first game at home must be won, this is very important for morale, if you don't play well and lose, then the morale of the whole team is obvious.

As the players entered, the DJ shouted "GO!" SPURS! GO!", as commentators today are Bigmouth Barkley and Dele Curry.

And the starting point guard of the Mavericks is none other than Dele Curry's son, Stephen Curry's younger brother, Seth Curry.

I have to say that this family is a three-point master, and the three-point shooting rate is good, and I feel that the genetic inheritance is very strong.

And today, Curry Jr. will start the game, and in the critical period when the Mavericks finally hit the playoffs, Curry Jr.'s three-point shooting rate was as high as 50%, and he has repeatedly performed brilliantly, and he is in hot form.
