Chapter 977 The loser exits...

The first game between the Spurs and the Warriors has unknowingly come to an end.

Popovich just removed all the main players, because the game so far, almost the overall situation has been set.

What else can I do if I am not convinced?Ever since Whiteside was called for consecutive fouls, the Spurs players have been "cared for" by the referees. Although the "cared for" is not particularly obvious, whenever they are about to catch up with the score, there will always be Then one or two ambiguous penalties were ignored, and the Warriors were really strong today, keeping the fiery touch until the end.

So, in the fourth quarter, after several counterattacks to no avail, the Spurs suddenly realized that the score was really impossible to catch up, and they might have to eat one or two colored whistles if they continued to fight, so Popovich changed ahead of time. People, protect your players.

It's just a victory, if you want it, then take it.

"This game is really frustrating." The tough guy Tucker was very dissatisfied. He was okay in the first half today, with only one foul, but in the second half, he suffered four full fouls and almost graduated.

"That's right, the technical offender was out of nowhere..." Whiteside was even more aggrieved. He obviously didn't do anything but just wanted to explain, but he was blown away. Fortunately, there was only one technical offender, otherwise he would have been suspended. .

The two of them immediately brought up the emotions on the bench, and most of the people began to be dissatisfied and complained, and the whole bench was a little rioted for a while.

"Stop complaining, this is Oakland, not San Antonio, and it's not the first time to play away games, can't you get used to it?" Ginobili stopped the complaints on the bench. It's like a rookie playing in the playoffs. I haven't seen the home whistle before!

"That's right, we underestimated the enemy today, thinking that we could fight back as usual, but the opponent didn't give us a chance." Qin Yan also spoke, and he had to admit that although he kept reminding himself not to underestimate the enemy in his heart , but in today's game, especially when the team fell behind in the first half, I was still careless.

"If we attacked as soon as we came up and took a double-digit lead, it would be useless no matter how good their home whistle is now. But we didn't do it, and we can't blame others for losing now."

Qin Yan is quite rational, and what he said is basically the truth. If the Spurs attack with an overwhelming offensive as soon as they come up today, it is hard to say whether they will win or lose.

"Ugh……"

The core of the team's future has said so, what else can others say?What's more, judging from the expressions of the three elders of GDP, they also agreed with Qin Yan's words.

"Okay, it's only one game. You guys are used to pretending to be dead this season. Now it's likely to become a real death and you can't stand it? Losing now is better than losing in the finals, right?"

Duncan felt that he had to say a few words. Although he was suspected of being a colander on the court today, his prestige and status made him No. 1 under Popovich in the team. It is reasonable and legal to teach anyone a lesson. .

What's more, the Spurs who swept the Blazers in the first round and were eliminated for a long time this season are a little careless. They all think that the rest of the league is just average. As long as the team is serious, they will definitely win. This is definitely not the case. good sign.

Losing a game now is a good thing for the Spurs.

Everyone stopped talking. It is true that what the bosses said makes sense, and the result of the game is already clear, unless a certain player on the field can possess McGrady at this time...

"Let's go, the loser is leaving. Besides, losing a game should be within the coach's plan. Keep your heads up. You can lose a game, but you can't lose your momentum!"

As the game-ending whistle blew and the Golden State Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs by eight points at home, Oracle Arena was a sea of ​​joy.

Everyone was chanting the names of the team heroes, as if the team won the first game and it was like advancing.

The entire Spurs team stood up under the leadership of Qin Yan, followed behind the leader Duncan, and walked out with their heads held high.

Looking at it like that, those who didn't know thought the Spurs were the winners.

Popovich originally planned to teach this group of people a lesson after the game, but at the last moment, Duncan on the bench and Popovich heard their conversation. Seeing the GDP, Qin Yan and others have realized their mistakes and started Helping his teammates correct, Popovich was also relieved a lot.

But, what should be black face is still black face, these bastards have been spoiled this season, and they are getting more and more lazy. This time, I want to take this opportunity to make them reflect on themselves.

At the press conference after the game, Popovich took Qin Yan and Duncan to go, and Ginobili and others were responsible for "tuning" the teammates whose mentality was not correct.

"Coach Popovich, may I ask if the loss in the first game will have an impact on your tactics?"

A reporter asked.

"Well, strictly speaking, no, because we were already prepared to lose one game. There is no difference between the first game and the second game."

Popovich replied solemnly, not seeing the impact of the loss on him at all.

"You mean everything is still under control? Then what if you lose the next game?"

This sounds like a reporter who supports the Warriors, otherwise who would ask such a question?
"It's meaningless to discuss things that haven't happened yet. Basketball is round, and anything can happen. Everything will come out after a day," Popovich answered without leaking.

"Qin Yan, what do you think of today's loss? Is there something wrong with the team?"

Didn't get anything useful from Popovich, so the reporters turned to attack Qin Yan. They couldn't believe that Qin Yan could hold his breath so calmly.

"The opponent played better than us, so we lost, that's all." Qin Yan said concisely, and he was telling the truth. It is true that the Warriors played well today, and they feel so hot from the outside. It is difficult for them to lose!

"Then are you satisfied with the team's performance today?"

"Me? I'm not satisfied with my performance. As for my teammates, they are great. I won't make the same mistake in the next game." Qin Yan took the initiative to take responsibility, after all, he is the future of the team At the core, everything cannot be left to the older generation Duncan and others, that is not conducive to establishing prestige!

"So you mean you're going to win the next game?" Taking quotes out of context has always been a favorite thing for journalists to do.

"On the field, there is no one who does not desire to win, and those who do not desire to win will not come here." Qin Yan is now simply "official Yan", with piles of various routines.

"Tim, you lost the game today, but when you left the field, you all looked like you had won the game. Why?"

Since Qin Yan hadn't gained anything in the past few years, the reporters changed their targets again.

"Because, the waist of the defending champion cannot be bent down easily anywhere!"

Duncan agrees with what Qin Yan said, and it happened to be used to deal with the media today. Don’t forget, the Spurs are the defending champions. Before they are out, they are the most popular and most promising team!

For the defending champion, there is no such thing as a loser leaving the field. Even if you lose, you have to stand upright and leave!
