There are many people who hold this kind of conclusion that the Spurs are going to lose, even Popovich did not say anything bad about his side after the game, the current Spurs team is completely supported by Duncan alone, from the main force to the bench, no one can stand up on the bench, the rotation of the outside line is much slower than before, and the physical fitness of the players has also declined greatly, and it is time to make a change......

It's the only thing Popovich has to do after the game, and it's what a lot of people think Popovich will do, but who would have thought what Popovich, who looks calm now, was thinking?

The Spurs in the second game surprised the Lakers very much, because the Spurs actually picked up speed at the beginning?

Yes, the Spurs, with two veterans over the age of 35, picked up the pace and scored 31 points in the first quarter of the game. Jackson was very surprised, but fortunately, the Lakers were originally an offensive team with strong strength, and they didn't worry about any team's offensive counterattack.

In the second quarter of the game, when the Lakers thought the Spurs should slow down the pace, Popovich once again made Jackson lose face.

In the second quarter of the game, the Spurs did not slow down, but on the basis of the first quarter and went up another gear, and even saw some effect at the beginning, they replaced Duncan, and once again to increase the speed, and when they saw that the Lakers were completely unexpected, and a little confused, they sent Duncan, who had rested for 2 minutes, on the court again, and at the end of the second quarter of the game, the gap between the two sides was stretched to 16 points......

I heard that Jackson's face was very dark at the time, and at halftime, he even hinted to all the Lakers players again in his heart that it would be difficult to play against the Spurs, who are known for their defense, and the Lakers, who trailed by 16 points at halftime.

Popovich thought the same way, so in the third quarter of the game, Popovich turned the match into a wrestling tournament, turning the original exciting game into a game of who made fewer mistakes.

Popovich just wanted to maintain this advantage until the end, and on this basis, he considered O'Neal, Kobe, and even Fisher Fisher, but he didn't take into account another old monster - Robert? Hori.

At the end of the game, Horry grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds and helped the team win the game in the final quarter.

In order to win this game, Popovich even let Duncan not rest in the second half, but in the end he still did not win this game.

In this regard, Popovich just shook his head with a wry smile, if it is to use an old Chinese saying to describe it: "The crime of non-war!" ”

……

Looking at the Lakers' strong offensive ability, even Jordan frowned, knowing that the OK combination was very strong, but in the face of a mature Spurs team, facing a Spurs team with Duncan, he turned around vividly when he was 16 points behind at halftime...... What other team in the current league will have such a strong strength?

The Spurs players just got tired in the end, and while it's a clear weakness, what other team can catch it? Jordan couldn't ask his Wizards team.

"It seems that the west is really much more difficult to mix than the east! Hehe, looking at this situation, how do you feel that you really did a very good deed at that time? Otherwise, how could there be a current Wizards? ”

After entering the millennium, half of the strong and weak pattern of the east and west is because of the two dynasties of the bulls, otherwise why would O'Neal travel west? How could the Mavericks possibly get Nowitzki? Not to mention how the Trail Blazers gathered such a group of unsuccessful Eastern 'frustrations'.

……

Entering the semifinals, the league's final heavyweight awards will be announced, first of all, the best coach, although Collins is now outstanding, but many people think that the role of the players here is greater, especially because of the existence of Jordan, so Collins unfortunately lost to Carlisle of the Pistons.

The players of the Wizards have been upset with Collins, but Collins did not show any excessive sad expressions, and even Collins himself felt a little unreal about the team's current results, and he did not attach so much importance to this award.

The most improved player in the '01-02 season was undoubtedly awarded to O'Neal Jr., who just played in the All-Star Game, a player who was suppressed in the Trail Blazers and finally started his glorious journey with the Pacers.

Best Sixth Man went to Collis? Williams, the Pistons can achieve the current top three records in the East, with this credit in it, the Wizards' Hamilton still stayed in the main team for a long time, and did not have the opportunity to win this award.

The best defensive player went to Kwame Brown, the second team in the East, the starting center player, Kwame Brown has given too many people this season, too many surprises, ranked first in the rebounding list, his team is still second in the league, and he averages 3 blocks per game, although there are some objections to his age, but as the youngest best defensive player in history, this award means a lot to Kwame.

Kwamei, who won this award, was silly for a day, and Gong Feng took this opportunity to let Kwamei invite him to a week's dinner.

In the best defensive lineup, Kwame is behind Ben Wallace in the second team, and the current Pistons' defense is completely dependent on Ben Wallace alone, which is still a little different from Kwame who has a lot of helpers.

Finally, there are the two most influential awards, the MVP of the regular season and the Team of the Year.

The MVP is destined to miss the Wizards, and the Wizards are now the most versatile only Jordan, but Jordan's cultivation at the end of the season is also destined to miss this award.

The first and second teams still missed the Wizards, and although Kwame won the Best Defensive Player award, his own offense was intermittent and a very troublesome problem.

However, the third lineup still surprised the Wizards, and Gong Feng and Kwamei entered the list...... When Gong Feng heard that he had entered the third team in the league, he was completely stupid, and Gong Feng once again set a record for the youngest in the league.

This made Kwamei, who was only behind him, take a certain pair of sneakers that Gong Feng treasured away for the first time when someone in the house was silly.

When Gong Feng was training in the team and questioned Kwam Mei loudly, he began to reprimand the opponent's weaknesses, and Jordan happened to pass by at this time, and the result of dealing with this matter was to give Gong Feng a certain series of precious Jordan series of sneakers, and it seems that the old man is also very happy with the achievements of the players he chose.

The best player was given to Duncan without any accidents, although there are some regrets, but Duncan won this award is expected, as the pillar of the Spurs, can bring a group of old and old, young and young teams, to the second place in the West, such Duncan is really perfect, and the data has reached a rare all-round, 25 + 12 + 4 + 2 data, it is really a good luck for the Spurs that year.

Since then, all the awards have been awarded, and only the last team to win, the last trophy of the NBA's highest honor, remains.

There are only eight teams left in the league right now, and no one is going to give up on their game at this last minute. Although some teams are already doomed to elimination.

The Nets have lost a game at home, and there is no way out, even if their lineup is targeted by the Magic, but Kidd is Kidd, and there is still no doubt about the strength of the players on the team, and in the second game of his home court, he cut a triple-double of 30 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, and won the game that he must win.

In the third game, it was still the previous routine at the beginning, and the Magic team did not change in the slightest, but in the third quarter, Maddy began to play, and in the third quarter of this game, he scored 23 points, and all the Magic team's ball possession was completely concentrated in Maddy's hands in the third quarter.

Whether it is Van Horn or the young Jefferson, none of them are Maddie's opponents, and the scoring champion has returned again, watching Maddie's performance, Kidd covered his head in pain in the unmanned locker room.

Kidders has done well, limiting Houston to 15 points per game, and while Houston don't have much offense with the ball here, it also illustrates the role of their own defender.

Mark? Jackson's hips are effective against anyone on the Nets, as long as he catches an opportunity in the low post, he can complete a wonderful combination with Ewing, or turn and jumper, even Kidd has nothing to do with Mark's hips.

Needless to say, the third position was completely blown up by the other party, and the fourth position is also a stalemate, and the fifth position? Ewing saw that his old teammates seemed to have a second spring.

Maybe knowing that this is his last season, Ewing Sr. is very aggressive, and maybe he wants to collide with that lifelong opponent again in the end...... The Nets' two No. 5 positions, both in terms of experience and strength, are not Ewing's current opponents at all.

Kidd can only use his strong offensive ability to attack the Magic team with Kidders, there is no second way, this is the only way Kidd can think of at this time.
