Chapter 950 Keep No.4!
After the All-Star Game, this season has actually entered the second half of the season. Teams aspiring to achieve good results in the playoffs will desperately improve their team's record in the coming time.

Especially in the war-torn Western Conference, when the top three are temporarily unshakable, the No.4 in the Western Conference occupied by the Spurs has become the most promising position in the eyes of everyone.

It's fine if you don't move the top three, but if you can't win No. 4, then why play in the playoffs?Are you going to work hard and go for a round?
At present, there are quite a few teams that are expected to compete for the fourth place. The Clippers, Trail Blazers, and Grizzlies are all possible teams, and the No.8 position in the West is even more competitive. The Pelicans, Nuggets, and Jazz The three teams played hard.

As the temporary owner of No.4, the Spurs actually don't have too much lead, and because the Spurs did not perform particularly well this year, many people feel that they have lost their motivation after successfully defending their title.

At the same time, because both Leonard and Qin Yan were targeted by other teams in the All-Star Game, there are many rumors that the two of them will leave the team sooner or later, and the Spurs will not be able to keep anyone.

Therefore, everyone feels that in the second half of the season, the Spurs' No.4 ranking will definitely be lost.

San Antonio.

"Have you heard, a group of people are eyeing our No.4."

In the Spurs training hall, a group of people sweating profusely are training hard. Of course, in the spare time of training, everyone still complains or continues to complain.

"Hmph, is it true that we are trash? No.4 is what they want?"

Naturally, the Spurs would not admit what the outside world said. If it wasn't because the team had to keep a low profile this year, how could it be possible that they would only be No.4 now?

But I have to say that this year’s top three Warriors in the Western Conference, the Thunder and the Rockets are really good. The Warriors are a little bit ahead at present. The Thunder and the Rockets are evenly matched. If the Spurs work hard from the beginning of this year, they will probably fall into the top three now. In the quagmire of the famous melee.

"Actually, the coach's strategy this year is correct. If we are now caught in a competition with the Warriors, it will not be a good thing for us."

Ginobili is very satisfied with this year's strategy. He didn't see that the top three are fighting for the first place. Now it's you chasing each other, and no one wants to relax.

For the Spurs, who have a bunch of veterans, it would be really bad luck if they really fell into that quagmire.

"It's true to say so, but now the outside world is unanimously looking down on us, which makes people very aggrieved."

Barnes just came to the Spurs this year. He came with the intention of winning the championship, but the performance of the Spurs this year... To be honest, if it wasn't because he knew the Spurs' tactics this year, it is very likely that Barnes would have given up directly. leave.

"Then what's the matter? Now that people have been slandered miserably, it will be interesting to slap them in the face in the future. The playoffs are our stage, aren't they?"

As one of the old ministers, Parker is about to come out at this time to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Just keep No.4!"

This is Duncan's words. As the boss of the team, Duncan is satisfied with this year's situation because he played very easily this year.

Of course, as the defending team this year, the performance of the Spurs is indeed a bit "difficult" in the eyes of outsiders.

You can't get the first place in the division, you can get the second place, but now it's only the fourth place in the division.

Of course, coupled with the fact that the Spurs have too many "bad rumors" this year, it is difficult to make people feel that they are still a championship-level team.

"If you want to keep No.4, then I remember that the opponent in the next game is an existence who wants to grab the spot?"

Qin Yan also spoke. The sweat on his body is flowing down like a stream, and the training clothes on his body can be squeezed out after taking off.

"The next game? Who will you play?" Green was puzzled. He had been training hard recently and had already forgotten who he should play next.

"Let me see..." Mills dug out the team's schedule from the pile of luggage on the side. Since this season, Mills has been responsible for keeping the team's schedule.

"Who are you going to hit?" The rest of the Spurs also wanted to know.

"Next game, Blazers."

Mills spoke.

pioneer?I go, how could it be them?

Qin Yan was a little surprised, how could he be a pioneer?Meeting the Blazers at this time is really not a good thing.

Why?Because this guy Lillard lost the All-Star selection this year, and it is very uncomfortable for Lillard not to be selected for the All-Star, so during this period of time, Lillard is already holding back his energy to prove himself.

Lillard, who was before and after the All-Star, can't be touched easily!

"Well, the Trail Blazers, it just happens to be fifth right now, isn't it?" Leonard also spoke. He may be used to a cold face on the field, but in private, Leonard is also very good get along with.

"This is a tough battle!" Tucker, as one of the Spurs' 3D players this season, has had a huge impact on the team. Although his average data per game is not high, as long as he is there, the Spurs' defense will continue to improve. Make it a notch.

Baye, Tucker, Green, they form a very luxurious striker 3D group for the Spurs. If Qin Yan and Leonard are added, it will be the "death five" who defend against the sky.

"Be careful with Damian, he didn't make the All-Star selection this year, and he must be angry in his heart now. When he meets us tomorrow, he will definitely vent his anger on us."

Qin Yan reminded his teammates that the Blazers at this time are not good opponents.

"Hey, with you, can't you stop him? Mr. 88 points." The Spurs naturally noticed Lillard's crazy scoring performance recently, but they were not worried at all.

A joke, in terms of scoring ability, the record holder is in the Spurs, how could they lose to others.

"Hey, you don't know that guy..."

Qin Yan shook his head with a smile. Although he said he was not afraid of Lillard, the Blazers have a very strong lineup this year, so it is definitely not a joke.

Moreover, I don't know what stimulated him, but this year's CJ McCollum has already shown his impressive offensive ability.

If it weren't for his sometimes hot-headed attack, McCollum might have become the Blazers' starting shooting guard.

Coupled with the always strong Batum and Aldridge, as well as the professional meat shield big centers Lopez Jr. and Leonard, the Blazers' lineup this year is more reasonable and impeccable than last year.

In this case, if they are determined to grab No.4, a fierce battle tomorrow will be inevitable...
