Chapter 826 I Guarded Him

"Are you satisfied with the performance of the players on the field? Of course, although we lost the game in the end, their performance on the field is still beyond reproach."

"As for why we lost this game? Because the Spurs were better than us, that's it."

"Defensive choice against Meng Xu? I admit that I did underestimate Meng Xu's ability before the start of this game, and Meng Xu also taught us a hard lesson in this game. It is really hard to imagine that a 33 A player who has retired for four seasons will score 48 points in a Western Conference semifinal. If someone told me before this game started, Meng Xu would score 48 points tonight, Then I must think he's crazy."

"In the next game, of course, we will definitely strengthen our defense against Meng Xu in the next game. For something like today, one time is enough."

"How many points do you plan to limit Meng Xu's scoring? I can't guarantee this. Meng Xu is one of the players with the strongest scoring ability in NBA history. Although he is now 33 years old, in today's game, He still showed unparalleled scoring ability and dominance, so I'm not sure how many points we can limit his scoring in a single game. All we can do is try our best to let him play in a more difficult way To score, because that's already a success for us."

After the first game of the series between the Spurs and the Warriors, Warriors coach Mark Jackson became the focus of the post-match press conference. Almost all the reporters on the scene pointed their fingers at him and frequently attacked him. , asked him why he didn’t double-team Meng Xu in the game, asked him why he was indifferent when Meng Xu kept scoring points, in a word, Mark Jackson was the main culprit for the Warriors’ loss today. Jackson can be flexible earlier, and the Warriors will not lose the game if they don't move.

"Draymond, can you tell me how you felt when you played against Meng Xu today?" After biting Mark Jackson, the reporters on the scene who felt unsatisfactory turned the topic to Mark Jackson. Draymond Green, who attended the post-match press conference with Jackson, in order to prevent the main players such as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson from being affected by the loss, and the harassment of these unscrupulous reporters, Mark Jackson brought Green, who was most concerned, attended the post-match press conference, but these reporters didn't even plan to let Green go. Who let the player he defended score 48 points today.

"I think it's okay." Draymond Green, who had been drooping after the game was over because of the team's loss, and being tortured by Meng Xu from the beginning to the end of the game, heard from the stage After asking the reporter's question, a smile appeared on his face, but what Green said next made the reporters on the scene almost drop their jaws in shock.

"Meng Shi is the greatest player in the league. It is my honor to play against him. As for my defense against him, I think it is acceptable. At least I am very satisfied with my defense."

"Shameless!"

"So thick-skinned!"

"That is, after being scored 48 points on the head, he still has the face to say that he is very satisfied with his defense."

"Maybe you will say that Meng scored 48 points on my head, which is the biggest reason why we lost this game. This is true, but it does not mean that I am not satisfied with my defense, because in this At the beginning of the game, Meng told me to score at least 50 points on my head. In the end, he only scored 48 points, so I am still very satisfied with my defense, aren't I? I defended him , didn't let him score 50 points on my head."

When Draymond Green said the above words with a proud look, not to mention the reporters in the audience, even the Warriors coach Mark Jackson sitting next to him showed concern for mentally handicapped children Look at him.

"I guarded him, and I couldn't let him score 50 points on my head!" Draymond Green seemed to be laughing at himself and comforting himself, but it caused an uproar after the game. With the help of unscrupulous reporters, Draymond Green's words quickly made headlines in the major media and newspaper sports sections.

Soon, Draymond Green became an Internet celebrity, and his phrase "I guarded him." has also become the most popular spoken phrase nowadays. As a rookie who first entered the league, Green obviously underestimated this. Help the lower bounds of the reporters.

Although Draymond Green stole the limelight, Meng Xu's 48 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals still caused a lot of attention after the game. There was quite a stir.

On June 2013, 6, under the hustle and bustle, the second game of the series between the Spurs and the Warriors started. This game was still played at the AT&T Center Arena, the home of the Spurs. The victory was won, so before the start of the game, the Spurs shouted the slogan of victory with a relaxed face.

As the head coach, Popovich, when arranging tactics before the game, it is also rare that he did not make special requirements for each player, let alone repeatedly emphasize tactics, tactics, tactics, etc. on them, but let them Just play this game according to the rhythm of the last game.

As for the Warriors, after the lessons learned from the first game, the Warriors really strengthened their defense against Meng Xu in the second game. With a defensive strategy, they still couldn't restrain Meng Xu.

Finally, when the game ended, Meng Xu made 28 of 15 shots, 11 of 5 three-pointers, 13 of 11 free throws, scored 46 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. The data, scored 45+ in two consecutive games, and it was 45+ in two consecutive games on the stage of the Western Conference semifinals, so after the second game between the two sides, the fans and reporters at the AT&T Center Arena , immediately went crazy.

Faced with the reporters who rushed towards him after the game, Meng Xu, who was surrounded by water, had another thing in his mind. Why did Popovich allow himself to shoot wildly in the game against the Warriors?Although in previous games, Popovich never restricted Meng Xu's shots, but when Meng Xu's shot timing was unreasonable, Popovich would still argue with Meng Xu. In these two games, no matter how difficult Meng Xu's shot was, or forced to make a shot in the face of double-teaming, Popovich didn't say anything, so in front of such an abnormal Popovich, Meng Xu Xu kept thinking, did Popovich have some conspiracy or ulterior purpose?
In any case, after the Spurs won today's game, they led the Warriors with a total score of 2-0, and the Spurs also took the lead in the 7-game 4-win series. Win the next game on the road, and the Spurs will have one foot into the Western Conference Finals.
