Chapter 602: No Suspense, Not in the Eyes (Page 1/1)

After the interviews, the players went back to their dressing rooms.

After the event, Qin Yang, Nowitzki and Coach Rick Carlisle attended a press conference together.

There's so much that can be said about this game.

Nowitzki was first asked a question about the Mavericks' ability to lead the team with their new core.

Dirk was humble:

"Actually, I don't need to answer that question, look at the results of the game, look at the process of the game, look at the numbers of Bruce, look at the reaction of the fans, and I think everybody will get the answer, Bruce is much better than I did."

'He can make his team-mates better, he can step up when it counts, and he's perfect.

This season, the question about Dirk and Qin Yang has been hyped for a long time.

One of the best power forwards in history has cedered a central position this season, and that in itself is a big thing to watch.

The transition between the core of the team is often troublesome.

Take the Lakers, for example.

The dispute between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant at the beginning was, to put it bluntly, who would be the boss. O'Neal was going to do it for another two years, and Bryant felt he was ready, but the two fell out and the team fell apart.

Since then, and until now, the Lakers have not been able to recruit other superstars, even if Koeb is seriously injured this season.

A player who is willing to be the boss will not go to the Lakers when Kobe Bryant has not yet retired.

That's making yourself uncomfortable.

This year's battle for the Mavericks' core, everyone thought it would be troublesome, but it was actually very simple.

On the one hand, Dirk and Qin Yang have a good relationship and can talk openly; On the other hand, Dirk happened to be injured, and Qin Yang took over smoothly.

If it was two or three seasons ago, even if Dirk was willing to give way, Qin Yang would have doubts.

There's never been a better time.

Qin Yang was also asked about the GDP mix.

Qin Yang:

"I think the No. 21 rookie can answer this question, there has been a very bad phenomenon in the league in recent years, the Spurs' No. 21 rookie has performed so well, but he can't be selected for the rookie challenge every year, which is the biggest injustice in the league."

"Honestly, the GDP mix is still competitive, maybe one day they will grow old, and that day will not be far away, but it will definitely not be now. I can predict that within three years' time, the GDP portfolio will remain one of the most competitive in the NBA. ”

After all, the GDP is old, and all three are in the same grade as Nowitsky.

Nowitzki is mainly projection-based, and the strength will be preserved more, even in a few years, relying on projection ability, Nowitzki still has a good performance, but the GDP combination is different, and the GDP combination will decline quickly after losing speed and strength.

So in three seasons at most, the Spurs' competitiveness will drop dramatically.

In fact, in this year's playoffs, Qin Yang clearly felt this.

If it is a GDP combination at its peak, there is no suspense in this round of the series, even if Qin Yang and Nowitzki are partnered, it is useless.

Duncan in his prime, Tony Parker in his prime, Ginobili in his prime, and the Mavericks will not be able to play this game.

It's a pity that the years are not forgiving.

The Spurs can't win this year, they won't win next year, and the year after next will be even more hopeless.

So, this year is the only hope for the Spurs to win.

Both Popovich and Duncan know this.

Popovich's face was a little ugly at the post-match press conference, and his beard was already gray:

"I know it's going to be hard, we're going to have to play against the best power forward in history and the best point guard in history, but we've got to be brave and if we win against the Mavericks, there's still hope because the Finals are going to be a little better than this series."

The Popovichs are all fine.

Don't look at the so-called experts blowing the Clippers and the Heat to the sky.

In fact, they will certainly not be the ones with the greatest probability of winning the championship this year.

The Mavericks and Spurs are the most likely teams to win the championship, and the other teams have something to lose. If they enter the Finals against the Heat, the Spurs have a good chance of winning the championship.

On the other hand, at the team training match, coach Rick Carlisle said something similar:

"In the next games, we have to work harder, and we only have one goal, which is to beat Spurs. The teams in the East, it will definitely be the Heat who advances, but the Heat will not be our opponent, so as long as we win the Spurs, the championship will be ours. ”

"Overall Champion!"

"Overall Champion!"

The Mavericks players were boiling.

The Mavericks and Spurs only have each other in their eyes, and as for the champions in the East, the Heat, sorry, not in the eyes.

The Heat's flaws are too big, as long as they find flaws, it's not a problem.

The Mavericks and the Heat, but without the obvious flaws.

On May 21, the Mavericks played the second game against the Spurs.

Both teams are seeking stability in this game, and the starting game is the same as the last game, and no one is in a hurry to make adjustments.

At this point in the game, for both coaches, the players and moves that could be used were exhausted.

The key is whether the players themselves can perform well.

The tactical role has been exhausted.

There is not much difference in the strength of Rick Carlisle's coaching team and Popovich's coaching team, and it is impossible to crush the opponent tactically.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks still had Qin Yang as the core.

Qin Yang wants to combine singles and off-ball to attract the Spurs' defense, and others look for opportunities to shoot. I really couldn't find a chance, so I handed the ball to Qin Yang or Al Jefferson, and the two of them had the highest efficiency in singles.

The Spurs are similar, focusing on defense and playing tactics on the offensive end.

Both teams are dominated by the Princeton system, with the Spurs emphasizing more defense, and the Mavericks being more small-ball on the offensive end and more demanding on three-point shots.

In the first quarter, the Spurs were very strong this time, leading by 2 points into the second quarter.

The Mavericks aren't in good enough shape.

Al Jefferson and Qin Yang's singles efficiency is average, and others can't stand up, which affects the overall performance of the Mavericks.

Fortunately, in the second quarter, the Mavericks played a fast break.

Seth Curry, who played average in the last game, slipped up in the second quarter, and the Spurs, who hit a hand-to-hand on the offensive end, a three-pointer and a layup, called a timeout.

After halftime, the Mavericks led by three points.

At halftime, the atmosphere in the Spurs locker room was stagnant.

The league is rumored to have a good atmosphere in the Spurs' locker room, but in fact, it's not, the Spurs locker room is very stable, because the team boss is Popovich, Duncan and the other two cores, who can stabilize the team.

The Spurs locker room is stable enough.

But in the past two seasons, there have been problems within the Spurs team, but the problems have been glossed over.

Kawhi Leonard has been heavily used by Popovich, but the offensive efficiency has been mediocre.

In the GDP portfolio, Tony Parker has a big opinion of kawaii.

The two quarreled more than once.

Fortunately, Duncan was able to hold the court, Popovich was in the middle to adjust, and Tony Parker didn't show it.

Ginobili has a good temperament, don't fight for anything, otherwise this GDP combination will have to happen.

When the team is going well, that's fine.

But if you fall behind in a row, there will be problems within the team.
