Chapter 576: The Agent's Big Heart
Popovich shook his head the moment he saw Tekoglu's move.
Whether the goal goes in or not, strategically, the Warriors won.
Tekoglu himself is a star with projection ability, Zhou Yang can accurately pass to him after the bag, and the tactics have been successful!
And the agent's goal also repaid Zhou Yang's trust!
The Warriors players all rushed over, hugged Zhou Yang and Turkoglu in the middle, held hands, and jumped and jumped happily.
The Spurs players silently walked to the tunnel of the players.
To be honest, the Spurs have performed quite well, playing away from home, against the Warriors who have won two consecutive championships.
The first half almost led beyond the expectations of the media and fans.
Although Zhou Yang was very happy with this half-time score, he was not careless.
In the Warriors locker room, he still told his teammates a few words, telling everyone not to relax, the second half will definitely be more difficult!.
In the live broadcast room of Huaxia Sports Channel, Director Zhang and Yu Jia are commenting on the game, and the guest is still Yang Yi.
Since the Warriors were behind in the score for most of the first half, Yang Yi was very active today and talked a lot.
Even at the end of the second quarter, Zhou Yang was wrapped up and passed, and he was sarcastically beaten.
"See, many of Zhou Yang's fans also sarcastically mocked James, saying that Lao Zhan likes to pass the ball and shake the pot at critical moments, isn't Zhou Yang the same?"
Director Zhang smiled and said, "Winning is the last word, no matter what tactics are used, as long as you can win the championship, you are strong!"
Yang Yi knew that Director Zhang was scolding him, and replied unceremoniously: "The championship is a collective honor, not an honor for one person!"
Although Director Zhang is a few years older, he is unceremonious.
"But some people have won consecutive championships after three years in the league, and some people have run around and can't win a championship, which can still explain something......
Yu Jia was worried that the two would quarrel again, so he hurriedly came out to play a round.
Although the two scolded each other, which was very effective, and the barrage in the live broadcast room flew up instantly, Zhou Yang and James had too many fans and said too ruthlessly, which would cause a bad impact.
After all, this is a CCTV live broadcast room, not one of those commercial basketball broadcast stations.
"Director Zhang, Teacher Yang Yi, what you said makes sense, so let's analyze it, which side has a greater chance of winning in the second half of the game?"
Director Zhang didn't speak, and Yang Yi hurriedly said: "The Warriors are at home, and the chances of winning are definitely big, but if you return to the Spurs' home court, the Spurs will definitely win, and the Spurs will win the series in one go!"
Director Zhang snorted lightly and said lightly: "The overall strength of the Spurs is indeed similar to that of the Warriors, but they lack a superstar who can turn the tide, if Duncan is five years younger, he can still fight against Zhou Yang, but now it is still a little worse."
Yang Yi was not convinced: "Although Duncan is not as good as the peak, his defense is still there, and his offense at critical moments is also reliable, and Zhou Yang is almost meaningless."
The two began to debate again, and Yu Jia could only shake his head helplessly.
The second half began.
The Spurs played solid in the third quarter, and instead of making adjustments on the offensive end, they moved up the ranks on the defensive end.
Leonard is indeed a defensive wizard, and instead of going back to the locker room at halftime, he went to the assistant coach and pulled up the video of the first half.
Although he is usually reticent, he has always been very active in improving his skills.
For example, when facing some top attackers, he will ask the assistant coach to quickly edit his defensive highlights at the end of each quarter or half.
Then he's going to sum up with the assistant coach.
This hard work, combined with his physical gifts, has allowed Leonard's defensive skills to continue to improve.
Zhou Yang's breakthrough in the third quarter and a sideways three-pointer were all destroyed by Leonard.
Warriors fans are dumbfounded.
in them
In my impression, Zhou Yang has not suffered two losses in a row on the same player.
Leonard's tough defense boosted the morale of the Spurs players.
Popovich and the Spurs players know in their hearts that Zhou Yang is the soul of the Warriors, and if Zhou Yang is restricted, then the Spurs' chances of winning will be greatly increased!
After more than 4 minutes in the third quarter, the Spurs played a wave and overtook the score.
68:66, Spurs lead by 2 points!
Old Nelson is also the first time to see Zhou Yang being defended by a little-known player in a row.
How did he know that Leonard was the hope of the Spurs' future and the supergiant of the future!
It is normal to be able to prevent Zhou Yang for a few rounds.
Old Nelson was worried that Zhou Yang's mentality would collapse, and wanted to call a timeout to let Zhou Yang slow down.
But Zhou Yang waved his hand at him as he passed by.
The master and apprentice have worked together for many years, and the old Nelson immediately understood.
That is, Zhou Yang does not need to pause, he can adjust by himself.
Old Nelson nodded, didn't call a timeout, and handed the game to the players.
Popovich was not happy, he knew how terrible Zhou Yang was.
Although the Spurs did not meet the Warriors in the playoffs in the past few seasons, they defeated countless strong teams during the two-game winning streak.
The Thunder, the Lakers, and the Mavericks have all become defeated players under the Warriors.
Zhou Yang's performance is even more unstoppable, and the Spurs are now taking a small advantage, which does not mean that the Spurs can take Zhou Yang.
In the next few rounds, Zhou Yang still did not play, he reduced the ball on the offensive end and increased the activity on the defensive end.
This made the Spurs players incomprehensible.
Especially Leonard, he didn't understand why Zhou Yang suddenly "coaxed".
After more than 9 minutes in the third quarter, the Spurs still lead, but the margin was not by much.
At 83:78, the Spurs led by five points.
Curry played more than 6 minutes in the third quarter and scored 7 points, with a mediocre performance.
Zhou Yang scored 6 points, didn't shoot much, and didn't seem to have a strong desire to attack at all.
The media and fans all thought that Zhou Yang was locked up by Leonard.
Zhou Yang's black fans are too excited.
In the past few years, the Warriors have defeated too many strong teams, and Zhou Yang has suppressed too many superstars, so Zhou Yang's fans have increased geometrically.
Black powder is also a huge growth.
It's still the same sentence: as many people love you, as many people hate you!
"Haha, Leonard is Zhou Yang's nemesis, do you see?"
"It's absolutely no fun for the Warriors to win three consecutive championships, and the Spurs will win the championship this year!"
"I'm here in time, and Duncan will win the fifth crown!"
"Leonard is too strong, Zhou Yang was beaten stupid!"
The black fans climaxed instantly, and in the forum, the Warriors fans couldn't raise their heads.
Zhou Yang actually didn't have a good way to get rid of Leonard's defense, but he was not in a hurry.
He has to lead defensively and then try to narrow the difference.
