Li Yang and the team doctor helped Parker to the sidelines, because it was still the Thunder's offense, not the Spurs calling a timeout, so the referee immediately signaled the Spurs to make a substitution to replay the game after seeing that Parker could not let the game.

Popovich also knew that Parker would not be able to play again at this time, so he replaced Mills on the court.

Soon, team doctor Will Severn helped Parker into the locker room, and the two teams continued to play, but at this time, the minds of Spurs fans were not completely focused on the game, although they were still watching the game, they were also concerned about Parker's injury.

The Spurs players on the court were not affected for the time being, because at this time it was basically close to the rotation time for Parker to leave the court, so Li Yang and Ginobili brought substitutes on the court in accordance with the established tactics.

The Thunder, who lost the last game, played very aggressively in this game, so although Li Yang and Ginobili also played well in this quarter, after the first quarter of the game, the Spurs only led by a narrow margin of 4 points.

After the first quarter of the game, the score was 27:31, and the scores were very high.

Those who follow this game are paying attention to the score, but they are also paying attention to the latest situation of Parker's injury, and at the end of the second quarter, there was an introduction on the big screen about Parker's injury, a strained left thigh, but did not say the specific situation and whether the game can continue to play.

However, the TNT commentators on the sidelines also expressed their disbelief that Parker would return to the court.

'Toney's injury is a secondary strain, which is definitely a very bad thing and I think it's hard to say if he'll be back on the pitch for this game and he could even miss a lot of games in the future. ”

"Yes, the injury is not too serious, but Toney is an old injury that has not healed and has been strained again, which may exacerbate his recovery time, and based on the injuries of other players before, this injury may take one to four weeks depending on the severity of the injury. ”

When several commentators were chatting about these on the sidelines, many Spurs fans in front of the screen couldn't help but explode at this time.

1 to 4 weeks, the Western Conference Finals are only two weeks to play, if it really takes 1 to 4 weeks to recover as these commentators said, then doesn't that mean that Parker will miss all the next Western Conference Finals?

"Damn, I hope these big mouths are completely wrong, how can Tony be missing so many games?"

"The team couldn't live without Toney, who was the team's leading scorer and the team's offensive initiator. ”

Spurs fans were watching the game while a discussion began on the Internet.

A big reason why the Spurs have such a good performance in the pre-playoffs game is because the team is very healthy, but I didn't expect Parker to be injured in a game like the Western Conference Finals.

As Spurs fans, they are well aware of the importance of Parker to the Spurs, and if the bench is led by Li Yang and Ginobili, then the starting lineup is led by Duncan and Parker.

More than half of the Spurs' starting lineup was initiated by Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll, and if Parker can't play, the impact on the Spurs will be huge.

In the midst of such attention from the outside world, the first half of the game was over, 54:56, and the Spurs were still leading, but the lead became only 2 points.

It can be said that throughout the first half, Parker's injury did not affect the Spurs' game, and the reason why they only had a 2-point lead at halftime was indeed because the Thunder played much better today than the previous game, both offensively and defensively.

Watching the players from both teams enter the locker room, Kenny Smith immediately said: "The good news for the Spurs is that they haven't been affected too much after leaving the French sports car with an injury, they still dominate the court, but if their leading point guard can't come back, the second half of the game will be the real test." ”

"yes, I think it's going to be very busy for Greg Popovich at half-time, he's going to need to identify Tony Parker's injury and he'll need to figure out how to deal with the next game. ”

Popovich did frown when he entered the locker room, and at halftime, Will Severn told the Spurs about Parker's injury.

Parker's injury was worse than the previous strain, as it was a second strain, but with Will Severn's judgment, it wasn't the worst.

In other words, Parker will definitely not be able to play in this game, and he may have to rest for a few games in the future, but there will not be a worst season reimbursement, as for Parker's specific situation and how long it will take to recover, this needs to be further examined.

"Alright, Tony, rest assured, your injuries aren't too serious, that's the best news. ”

After listening to Will Severn's words, Popovich comforted Parker and then began to set out the tactics for the second half.

Duncan, Ginobili, Li Yang and others also began to listen carefully to Popovich's arrangement after comforting Parker, after all, for them, it is more important to play the next game.

Several of TNT's commentators, although they have big mouths, are all seasoned professionals, so they are still very vicious, and they decided that the second half of the game was the test for the Spurs, and the result was exactly that.

Popovich used Mills to replace Parker in the second half of the game, but the gap between Mills and Parker is still very obvious, if Mills is responsible for scoring in the bench lineup, of course, it is no problem, but to let him replace Parker as a starter to sort out the team's offense, even with Duncan's help, it is not satisfactory.

After all, the Spurs are not playing the regular season at this time, but the Western Conference Finals, and they are facing a Thunder team with the strength to challenge for a championship.

For the second half, the Thunder obviously also had an arrangement, they took advantage of the short time for the Spurs to adapt to the beginning of the second half, and gave the Spurs huge pressure on both offensive and defensive ends, playing a wave of 10:4, directly overtaking 4 points.

Although Popovich then made some arrangements to stabilize the situation, it was clear that the rhythm of the Spurs team had been completely disrupted at this time, resulting in the offensive rhythm of the players also being affected, and the Thunder widened the difference to 8 points after the third quarter.

In the end, the Spurs were unable to recover the difference, 112-103, the game ended, and the Spurs lost to the Thunder by 9 points.

This loss was the Spurs' first loss in the playoffs this year, but it is clear that the Spurs will have to face more than just this loss, they will need to face the question of how many games Parker needs to rest and how to win in games that Parker cannot play. (To be continued.) )
