The first game between the Spurs and the Warriors has come to an end before they know it.

Popovich has just pulled off all of his main players, because the game has almost decided so far.

What else can you do if you are not convinced? Since Whiteside was blown foul in a row, the players on the Spurs' side began to be "cared for" by the referees, although the "care" is not particularly obvious, but whenever it is about to catch up with the score, there will always be one or two ambiguous penalties that are ignored, plus the Warriors team today are really powerful, keeping the hot hand to the end.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, after several counterattacks to no avail, the Spurs found that the score was really unable to catch up, and if they continued to play, they might have to eat one or two colored whistles, so Popovich made substitutions in advance to protect his players.

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

"It's really embarrassing." Tough guy Tucker was very dissatisfied, he was fine in the first half today, with only one foul, but he ate a full four fouls in the second half and almost graduated.

"That's it, it's a technical offense for some reason...... "Whiteside was even more aggrieved, he obviously didn't do anything, he just wanted to explain, but he was blown up, fortunately there was only one technical offense, otherwise he would have been suspended.

At the beginning, the two of them immediately brought up the emotions on the bench, and most of them began to be dissatisfied and complained, and for a while there was a little riot on the entire bench.

"Don't complain, this is Auckland, not San Antonio, and it's not the first time you've played away, can't you get used to it?" Ginobili stopped the complaints on the bench, they are all old rivers and lakes, how can they still be like rookies who played the playoffs for the first time, I haven't seen the home whistle before!

"That's right, today we underestimated the enemy, thinking that we could fight back at the end 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, he was still careless in today's game, especially when the team fell behind in the first half.

"If we come up and go on and take a double-digit lead, it's useless now that they're playing at home. But we didn't do it, and now we can't blame anyone for losing. ”

Qin Yan is still relatively rational, what he said is basically the truth, if the Spurs attack with an overwhelming offensive as soon as they come up today, it will be difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

"Alas......"

The core of the team's future has said so, what else can anyone else 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 just one game, you're used to playing dead this season, and now it's likely that you can't stand it if you become a real death? It's better to lose now than to lose in the finals, right? ”

Duncan felt that he had to say two words, although Uncle Duncan was suspected of a colander on the court today, but his prestige and status made him the first person under Popovich on the team, and it was reasonable and legal to teach everyone a lesson.

What's more, the sweep of the Trail Blazers in the first round made the Spurs who have been pretending to be dead for a long time this season a little careless, and they all feel that the rest of the league is just like that, as long as the team is serious, they will definitely win, which is definitely not a good sign.

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

Everyone stopped talking, and indeed the bigwigs had a point, and the result of the game was already clear, unless one of the players on the field could possess Maddie at this time......

"Let's go, the loser has withdrawn, and besides, losing a game should be within the coach's plan, all raise their heads, the game can be lost, and the momentum cannot be lost!"

As the final whistle blew and the Golden State Warriors won by eight points at home to the San Antonio Spurs, Oracle Arena was a sea of joy.

Everyone was chanting the names of the team's heroes, as if the team had won the first game as if they had qualified.

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

Looking at it like that, those who don't know think that the Spurs are the winners.

Popovich originally planned to teach this group a good lesson after the game, but at the last moment, Duncan on the bench heard their conversation, and saw that GDP, Qin Yan and others had realized their mistakes and began to help their teammates correct them, and Popovich was also a lot more relieved.

But, the black face is still the black face, these bunnies have been spoiled this season, and they are getting lazier and lazier, this time I want to take the opportunity to let them reflect on it.

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 who had not yet had a good mentality.

"Coach Popovich, will the loss of the first game have an impact on your tactical set-up?"

A reporter asked.

"Well, technically not, because we were ready to lose one, and there was no difference between the first and the second."

Popovich replied in a serious manner, not at all seeing the effect of the loss on him.

"You mean it's still under control? What if you lose the next game? ”

This is a pro-Warrior journalist, otherwise who would ask?

"There's no point in discussing things that haven't happened yet, basketball is round, anything can happen, and everything will come to a better time after a day," Popovich replied without leaking.

"Qin Yan, what do you think about losing today's game? Is there something wrong with the team? ”

Didn't get anything useful from Popovich, the reporters turned to attack Qin Yan, and they didn't believe that Qin Yan was so calm.

'They played better than us, so we lost, that's all.' Qin Yan was concise and to the point, and he was also telling the truth, it is true that the warriors played well today, and the outside feel is so hot, it is difficult for them to lose!

"Are you happy with the team's performance today?"

"Me? I'm not happy with my play, but as for my teammates, they're great. I won't make the same mistake again in the next game. Qin Yan took the initiative to take responsibility, after all, he is now the core of the team's future, and he can't leave everything to the older generation of Duncan and others, which 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.

"There's no one who doesn't want to win, and no one who doesn't want to win won't come here." Qin Yan is simply "official Yan" now, with a bunch of various routines.

"Tim, you lost today, but you all came out looking like you had won, why was that?"

Qin Yan has not gained anything in the past few years, and the reporters have changed their goals again.

"Because, the waist of the defending champion can't be easily bent down anywhere!"

Duncan agrees with what Qin Yan said, and it will be used against the media today, don't forget, the Spurs are the defending champions, and before they are out, they are the hottest and most promising team!

The loser exits or something, in the defending champion, there is no such thing, even if you lose, you have to straighten your back and leave!
