Now that they have won against the Spurs, the top team in the league, is it time for the Warriors to look forward to a championship?

The last time the Warriors reached the Finals was when Lin Fei was there. Since Lin Fei's departure, the Warriors have struggled on the brink of the playoffs, let alone won a championship.

However, even the Warriors won. Basketball professionals are almost unanimous in favor of the Spurs to advance to the next round. The reason is that the Spurs often have slow heat in the playoffs, and another point, Popovich's last-minute abandonment in the first game is obviously his consideration, either to rehearse a new lineup, or to reserve some energy to prepare for the next game, or ...... Anyway, almost everyone had a hunch that Popovich had some specific arrangement.

Although they won the game, one thing has to be admitted, the Warriors have done their best, and several main players, especially a few older Jobs and Ex, are even a little overdrawn. This may be a hidden danger. On the other hand, the Spurs, although their players are older, but they had 12 players in the rotation in their first game, and the players' playing time is relatively average, perhaps Popovich dares to do this, such a rotation is not to mention the playoffs, even in the regular season, it is rare.

The second race went as scheduled.

Or the home of the Spurs.

As the saying goes, shame comes courage, this game against the Warriors, the head coach of the Spurs did not even mobilize, they know that the Spurs have a strong sense of competitiveness and do not need to mobilize at all. The further back you go. Duncan once retired. The Spurs have little chance of winning a championship in a short period of time, so this may be their last chance in the true sense of the word.

Lin Fei was still a guest.

Compared with the first game, Lin Fei is relatively cold. It is easy to see from one point, because there are many fewer fans wearing Lin Fei's jersey number on the spot.

The Warriors' starting lineup remains the same.

However, the Spurs' main lineup made a relatively big adjustment, and the long-term sixth man Guillobili actually entered the starting lineup.

The Warriors won the scrum and gave the ball to Curry. And the Spurs actually took the whole court press from the beginning.

What is the rationale for this? Everyone knows that the Spurs have always been a team with excellent positional battles, and now they are pressing all over the court from the start. Are these old bones still running?

However, the Spurs may be playing right into the hands of the Warriors. Because the Warriors are a team that has quite good ball-handling ability. In the face of full-court pressing, the Warriors can adopt a very simple style of play, whoever has the ball in their hands, who will attack with the ball, and the speed is fast, as long as the players do not drag the mud and water, the Warriors' offense will be very smooth.

And the Spurs seem to be seeing the way to attack. The situation of personnel turnover. Parker easily broke through to position and matched Duncan's mid-range.

Both teams started with pretty good shooting percentages. At the end of the half quarter, it was 18:18, and it would be normal if this game was born on the Warriors and the Suns, but the Warriors' current opponent is the Spurs. The score in the opening half of the game was like this, and if it was the former Popovich, those main players had to be sober and sober on the bench.

This time, however, Popovich seemed calm.

What medicine is sold in a gourd?

The commentators present were a little confused. After all, the Spurs are the most defensive players in the league, and with Popovich's coaching ability, it is impossible to play against the Warriors stupidly. After all, even without Lin Fei, the Warriors are one of the most offensive firepower teams in the league.

After the timeout, the player returns to the pitch.

The Warriors players were dumbfounded. The Spurs are almost entirely on the bench.

Still coming to this set? Didn't the Spurs suffer this loss in the first game? Still coming? Isn't it looking for death?

Words like "looking for death" are generally used by Popovich for others.

The Spurs, who came off the bench, were very surprised and were able to continue the stalemate with the Warriors. The two sides come and go, and they don't want to let each other.

This is very different from the plot of the first game, in the first game, the Spurs bench lineup did not have such a strong fighting power.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the Spurs have always been a team with fighting qualities, and their lineup is often rehearsed and then used on the court, and in the first game, Popovich's bench lineup was not used much at all, after all, few coaches in the league dared to send all the bench lineups when the players on the court were red-eyed. And in this game, Popovich has fully rehearsed. So, full of combat effectiveness.

A lot of people say that for a team like the Spurs, no one is indispensable, they are like a machine, everyone is a part, these parts don't look good, but once put together, the machine can be infinitely powerful. Sometimes a team needs the right parts, not valuable things.

The first quarter of the game was over. The score is 35:35.

The on-site commentator bluntly said that this may be the most exciting first quarter of the playoffs, and the offense of both sides is too strong.

During the short break, the Warriors head coach noticed a slight problem.

Although several of the main players of the Warriors have also rested, they are now out of breath, while the Spurs, because of the large number of rotations, are almost not very tired.

As a head coach, you naturally have a keen sense of smell.

Could it be that in the last game, Popovich also voluntarily gave up for today's game? Is he so sure they can win the second game? But in fact, in fact, in the first game, the Spurs' player consumption was definitely not as large as the Warriors' team, especially the main players.

D'Antoni grew gloomy.

At this moment, Lin Fei, who was guarding the water cooler on the Warriors bench, also seemed to realize something.

The Warriors' style of play has great limitations, that is, they have a lot of physical exertion, and this must be compensated for by a large number of player rotations, and the Warriors used a lot of main players in order to impact the playoff spots, basically 5 people in the start, plus 2 or 3 people in rotation, resulting in a few bench players not used much, and they were naturally very rusty and had no feeling when they played.

Now, it seems that the time is over. The main players are tired, and the Warriors have no one available right now. If he is forced to come off the bench, it is estimated that the Spurs will beat him out. (To be continued......)
