Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Situation Out of Control
Will Lin Fei play in this game? Knowing that, it's important for the Warriors.
The Spurs went down because of Lin Fei, and Popovich replaced Solo and switched to Parker, and the morale of the Warriors was particularly high. Taking turns to attack the Warriors' already slightly weak interior, the Warriors simply couldn't resist the Spurs' attack. The score began to be pulled apart.
At this time, D'Antoni completely gave up and replaced all the substitutes. They completely forfeited the first game of the playoffs.
Just like when the Spurs used Solo to test the role of defending Lin Fei, now D'Antoni only used Lin Fei to test the Spurs.
Lin Fei also played for only one round, and he never played again.
The Warriors lost miserably! This is perhaps to be expected.
Lin Fei has only been on the field for less than 1 minute, which is definitely an extremely tragic thing. He became the player with the least playing time in this playoffs.
Maybe it's also because Lin Fei's playing time is very short. The Warriors players are more grounded. Because they know that the Warriors still have a lot of room to rise, and Lin Fei's height determines the height of the Warriors.
1:0 score! The pressure on the Warriors is also mounting.
Even with such a score, Popovich was still uneasy, because at this time, he didn't know how far Lin Fei had recovered, although Lin Fei had already had a round of confrontation with Solo, but Lin Fei's performance obviously did not reach the craziest state. On the basis of that level, how far can Lin Fei go?
In fact! What kind of state Lin Fei really is, perhaps only he knows best. At that time, if he held on, he would definitely be able to easily score nearly 20 points, but that obviously didn't make much sense. Perhaps the most rewarding thing right now is to be able to get a win in this series.
However, Lin Fei hid his strength, which is beneficial to the Warriors, but it is also extremely unfavorable to the Warriors. That's the physical strength of the players.
The Warriors played a season with a crippled roster. Although the players persevered, they were quite tired.
Although it is only the first game of the playoffs. But Curry, Jobs, Aix. Clauderson was clearly tired. As the schedule progresses, the Warriors' offense becomes slower and more difficult to take as the playoff game intensifies. Thankfully, the Spurs weren't much better. After all, their core GDP is already considered old bones, and if they were a few years younger, the Warriors would have died miserably.
The Warriors and Spurs did not collide with Mars and Earth, which was somewhat disappointing to fans. What people see is that the Warriors are so vulnerable.
How much you can take a blow, how much you can achieve. How much loneliness you can endure, how much prosperity you can have. Maybe it's a team like the Warriors.
After the Warriors' first game, the whole team seemed to be serious all of a sudden. Last season, the Warriors faced the Grizzlies, who also lost the first game, but then the Warriors found their groove and pulled back four games in a row. Kill the Grizzlies. At that time, after the Warriors lost the game. is still full of confidence, but today's Warriors have no confidence at all.
What to do? Will the Warriors fight to the death in Game 2?
The result was very disappointing to everyone, although Lin Fei was still on the bench in the second game, he didn't play at all. The only lineup of the Warriors is basically trying their best, but they still can't shake the Spurs' defense, and they are still miserable defeats. After all. Without Lin Fei and Keynes, the Warriors are still a notch behind the Spurs in terms of strength. …,
What the hell is going on?
Lin Fei hasn't recovered yet?
But in the last game. Lin Fei has already played for a while?
In fact! Lin Fei is indeed not healed! Even if there is a lore, even the playoffs are played. But he was not healed. He may also want to stabilize the morale of the army to a certain extent.
The doctor's diagnosis was not wrong! At the beginning, doctors concluded that even if Lin Fei's injury could return, the Warriors were at the end of the first round of the playoffs at that time. Even if Lin Fei's recovery is very gratifying, there is still no guarantee that he will be able to play in the playoffs.
The Warriors are really composed. In the second game, they gave up easily. But imagine that this may also be reasonable, because after all, the first and second games are the home of the Spurs, and the Spurs are a big advantage, because the Spurs' home record is quite good, and it is difficult for other teams to shake. The Warriors didn't want to bother with that. So just save your strength and wait to return to your home court and fight the Spurs.
But what state did Lin Fei recover to at this time?
It is said that Lin Fei recovered to nearly eighty or ninety percent when he played with the Jazz team, and now that another week has passed, it should be almost recovered! But for the last 10 percent, recovery is quite difficult. Lin Fei's speed of running would not be slower than his peak moment, but his acceleration when he started was much slower than his peak state. He knew very well that in order to get rid of Solo's fast steps, he had to get himself back to 100 percent.
In the third game, the Warriors returned to their home court, and Lin Fei was still a substitute.
Fans are calling for Lin Fei.
However, D'Antoni was full of fans' tastes and did not let Lin Fei play.
Even if the Warriors were on their home court, they were directly suppressed by the Spurs from the beginning, and they didn't seem to have any chances.
In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors were 10 points behind! Lin Fei still didn't play for a minute.
Could it be that Lin Fei hasn't recovered yet? At this time, people are not concerned about this game, but about whether Lin Fei's injury has healed or not.
If the Warriors lose this game. Then the score is 0:3! Never before in the history of the league has a team been able to come back from a 3-0 deficit. In other words, if the Warriors lose this game, it is basically no different from being out.
Would D'Antoni give up the game so easily? He doesn't know what the Warriors are going to do. (To be continued......)
