Opening Kobe template, rewarding Curry with three points

Chapter 308 Championship, here we come!

"The Warriors are not invincible!"

"The series starts in Game [-] and we're going to beat them!"

After chasing the big score to 1-2, Spurs players and fans really saw the light now!

They can really defeat that powerful Warriors team with their strength. The Spurs are equally powerful!
  "No, no, no, it's too early to talk about defeating the Warriors. Now I'm just thinking about how to win the next home game so as not to fall behind 1-3."

After the game, Popovich said seriously.

However, after he finished speaking, the reporters at the scene burst into laughter.

In their opinion, this guy Popovich started pretending again.

Popovich had a wry smile on his face.

What he just said was the truth, he really meant it!
  It's just... Even though Popovich smiled bitterly, no one paid attention to him. This guy's "acting skills" are too good.

On the other side, coach Smart did not show any signs of frustration. When asked by reporters, he answered unanimously, "My pre-game tactics were not arranged well, and there was no problem with the performance of my players."

The coach is the one who takes the blame, but Smart still has this awareness.

Besides, taking the blame can lead to the best record in NBA history and the best head coach in the NBA. Many people want to take the blame but don’t have the chance, right?

Su Bai also accepted an interview after the game.

"The Spurs are great. They are the best team I have ever faced in my career, maybe no one."

Reporters on the scene let out bursts of exclamations.

Although they knew that what Su Bai said might be the truth, to say it like this would be a bit disrespectful to those previous opponents, right?
  But when he reached Su Bai's position, he no longer needed to be so cautious.

"The Spurs' offense is really great, and it makes us very anxious. Well, I do it from the bottom of my heart. I don't praise them against my will just to shirk responsibility."

Reporters at the scene burst into laughter.

Su Bai, you really dare to say anything!
  However, it was the Spurs. Other times, Su Bai didn't want to communicate with them that much.

"However, although the Spurs are already very good, I hope they can come up with something new, otherwise, they will be in danger in the next game."

The scene immediately became excited.

After losing, he still dares to ask his opponent to be stronger. Isn't this the big devil named Su Bai?

Moreover, Su Bai's attitude during the interview really didn't look like a loser. He didn't feel depressed at all, or even...

There is also some excitement of finally meeting an opponent!

Soon, the content of Su Bai's interview reached Popovich's ears, which made his hair stand up immediately.

If Su Bai's words were said by Old Nelson, Popovich would think that Old Nelson was playing ecstasy with him, but Su Bai...

Although that kid has this method, he really doesn't bother to play it.

Then, Popovich took his little notebook and started playing with the game tape overnight!

He knew that Su Bai must have said this because he had a way to deal with them, so he had to think of more ways to win, or make predictions and counterattack.

Otherwise, if they lose the next game and fall behind 1-3, their playoff journey and championship dream will really be almost over.

……

"Coach, what's wrong with you?"

During training the next day, seeing Popovich's straw-like hair and two big dark circles under his eyes, all the Spurs generals couldn't help but be curious, and Ginobili couldn't help but ask.

Could it be that their coach was too happy yesterday and went to the nightclub?

Can he still have such fun at such an old age?

"It's okay. I watched the video for a long time last night."

"Klay, come here with me!" After explaining, Popovich called Klay Thompson aside.

"Klay, I need you to practice shooting against defensive players in the past two days."

"what?"

Looking at Klay Thompson with a puzzled expression, Popovich patiently explained to the disciple he relied on very much, "Your performance in the last game was too conspicuous. The Warriors will definitely make targeted arrangements for you next." , so you have to be prepared first.”

"Oh well."

Klay Thompson replied nonchalantly.

It's not like he hasn't been targeted before. With the Warriors' impressive wing defense, no one can guard him.

Seeing his disapproval at a glance, Popovich said seriously, "Klay, be serious, you have to be prepared to defend yourself!"

"what?"

Klay Thompson opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief, and felt that the hair on his body was about to stand up.

Su Bai was guarding him, so how could he fight?
  Although Su Bai has gained weight this season, his speed has not dropped much.

At least, chasing him is not a big problem.

Klay Thompson is very confident that he is the best pitcher, but it is nonsense to say that he can please Su Bai.

Durant, a historical scorer, is often held down by Su Bai. How can he be so good?
  "So, I want you to practice shooting against the defender!" Popovich said seriously.

Klay Thompson nodded seriously.

Facing Su Bai, the strongest perimeter defender currently in service, he knew very well that he was about to become an outcast.

After chatting for a few more words, Popovich looked at the back of Klay Thompson, who seemed to be drooping, and showed a hint of helplessness.

This is the horror of Su Bai, the big devil. Before the game, the opposing players are already facing great psychological pressure.

Shaking his head to get rid of these negative emotions, Popovich looked for Leonard again.

"Kawaii, Su may not be guarding you in the next game. I need you to play an efficient offense when Curry or Bojan is guarding you."

"Okay, coach!"

Looking at Leonard, who seemed to feel much more relaxed, Popovich turned his attention to the tactical board in his hand.

He had to do more, much more!
  They must win the G4 battle!
  On the other side, on the sidelines of the Warriors training court, Coach Smart found Su Bai.

"Su, what's the next game?"

Su Bai smiled and said, "I am ready to play the whole game, and I will defend Klay Thompson."

"Then Leonard..."

"He can't kill us!

As for Ginobili and the others, I will guard whoever has the best touch! "

"Then your physical strength..."       "So, I have to go and spur Stephen on. After being targeted for so long, it's time for this guy to release his anger."

……

On the 26th, the G4 game of the Western Conference Finals between the Braves and Spurs continued at the home court of the San Antonio Spurs.

At the scene, Spurs fans arrived early and started to cheer wildly as soon as the game started.

This game must be won, otherwise this may become their last home game of the season!
  Like the Spurs fans, the Spurs players are also full of energy and high morale!

This is also a game they must win!
  They can kick the Warriors' ass once, they can kick their ass the second time!
  The Spurs' starting lineup has been adjusted, and Klay Thompson has been put into the starting lineup.

Su Bai glanced at Popovich with a smile.

To be honest, in terms of technical and tactical level, Popovich is almost the strongest head coach among current players.

He should have seen through his plan to defend Klay Thompson.

But Su Bai had no plans to change the defender.

As long as he pins down Klay Thompson and prevents him from breaking out, and Ginobili's evil sword is not unsheathed, they still have a greater chance of winning this game tonight.

Well, even if Ginobili's demon sword comes out of its sheath, Su Bai will try to push him back.

Soon the game started. Klay Thompson, the Spurs new star who had great success in the last game, was held down by Su Bai without much accident.

In Barkley's words, "Klay is done tonight. Let's see if anyone else on the Spurs' offensive end steps up tonight."

On the Spurs side, there really is Kawhi Leonard.

Over the years, Popovich has not only been polishing Leonard's defense, but also his offense!

However, Leonard's offense was stable, but not explosive. Therefore, after the first quarter, the Spurs still trailed the Warriors by 30 points, 32-2.

In the second quarter of the game, Diaw, Ginobili, Belinelli and other Spurs players tried to lead the team to a good start. However, whenever they were about to gain momentum, Su Bai would step forward and block the team. In front of them.

Tonight, the big devil did not just rely on offense to save the team. He was more like the huge golden bell in front of the Warriors, blocking the Spurs' surging offensive frenzy!
  At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides reached 58 to 61.

而苏白，已经得到了17分8个篮板9次助攻2次抢断3记盖帽！
  As for Klay Thompson, he only made 5 of 1 three-pointers in the first half when he was guarded by Su Bai and scored 3 points.

In the TNT live commentary box, Barkley complained, "Klay is still a little too stubborn. At this time, he should take fewer shots. This is the greatest help to the Spurs."

Kenny Smith shook his head, "His number of shots must be guaranteed, otherwise Su will definitely relax his defense and help defend others!"

"Kenny is right," Hill pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, "Su's basketball IQ is not only reflected in the offensive end, but in all aspects."

O'Neal thought for a while, "I just introduced Klay Thompson and almost collapsed. I hope this Spurs star will not leave a psychological shadow."

Ok……

I have to say that O'Neal still has something.

No, Popovich has been having psychological counseling with Klay Thompson during the halftime break.

He doesn't want Klay Thompson, the future of the Spurs' offense, to be completely ruined because of this battle!
  After thinking about it, Popovich still gave Klay Thompson the instruction to speed up his movement in the second half.

Su Bai didn't rest for a minute in the first half, so as long as Klay Thompson can hold off Su Bai, they still have a good chance of winning tonight.

Of course, it would be best if Klay Thompson could injure Subai.

After the start of the second half, just when Spurs fans were expecting Ginobili or Diaw to once again be the savior like Klay Thompson in the last game, the savior really appeared!
  However, the special one is from the Warriors!

On the Warriors bench, Seth Curry once again fell into deep thought as he watched Stephen Jackson showing off his power on the court.

With the same father and mother, even if he looks anxious and a bit ugly, why is his talent so different from his?

Even though Seth Curry's three-point shooting percentage is higher than Curry's, he can't shoot the heart-wrenching three-pointers that Stephen Curry does on the court!
  On the sidelines, watching Curry hit those acrobatic three-pointers, Popovich really wanted to call the police.

Hey, Yaoyaojiu, there is an alien here, come and take him away!

So in addition to feeling the power of Su Bai, the big devil, on the defensive end, the Spurs players also enjoyed Curry's heart-wrenching three-point package!

"Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!"

Curry's three-pointer was accurate, and as soon as he entered the offensive range with the ball, the Spurs felt their heart ached.

Popovich felt his heart sting.

Why, why do I have to bear all this when I am so old!

However, at this time, Popovich forgot that Klay Thompson did the same to the Warriors in the last game!
  When Curry starts his day, it's all over!
  126 to 114, the Warriors successfully won the G4 game, rewriting the big score to 3 to 1, and successfully won the match point.

这场比赛库里23投18中，其中三分球13投10中，罚球7中7，成功砍下了生涯新高的53分！
  At the end of the game, Popovich collapsed on the bench.

It's over, it's over.

He knew the series was over early.

To win against such a Warriors team three times in a row, how much alcohol do you have to drink to dream of such a dream?

On the 28th, the G5 game of the Western Conference Finals continued at Oracle Arena.

The Warriors' first attack went to Su Bai, and Leonard used his death coil that frightened many players.

As a result, Su Bai suddenly changed direction and knocked Leonard to the ground, then hit the ball steadily in the middle distance.

In the first attack, Su Bai showed his strength and domineering ability to win this round of the Western Conference Finals.

Under the leadership of Su Bai, no one of the other Warriors players stretched their hips and began to suppress the Spurs!

On the sidelines, Popovich, who had adjusted, changed his usual style and began to cheer for his disciples.

Popovich has really thought about it.

They have really done their best in all aspects. If they still lose, it may be... their fate.

Now, the only thing Popovich wants to do is to let his disciples enjoy the game!

On the other side, during the timeout, Su Bai touched Curry's head and said, "Stephen, good job, keep up this state, maybe you can get FMVP votes this year."

Curry: ...

Not to mention FMVP votes, Curry now has a headache just thinking about playing in the finals.

Rose and Butler, Deron Williams and Wade...the backcourt in the Eastern Conference has no good differences!

Moreover, compared to the Spurs, who play a more overall style, the Eastern Conference will only target him more harshly.

But Curry quickly put all this behind him and decided to beat the Spurs first.

Again, when Curry is on target, it's hard for the Warriors to lose.

117 to 123, the Warriors defeated the Spurs again, successfully advancing to the finals with a big score of 4 to 1!
  Championship, here we come!
