Chapter 886: A good start
Rubbed on the ground by a bunch of old guys?
That's right, for the current warriors, they are the ones who are pressed to the ground by spurs.
Of course, if it was in the original history, it might be a spur that was beaten, but who made Qin Yan's spurs now is equivalent to hanging up, not only missing several talents, but also comprehensively improving a lot of abilities.
In this case, it is normal for the Warriors, who are not much different from the original history, to not be able to beat the Spurs.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Curry wanted to launch a counterattack, but under Parker's tireless interference, Curry had no choice, and his best three-point shot missed several in a row.
On the Spurs' side, after pulling the point difference to double digits again, they began to pursue the "if you don't score, I won't score" tactic, the Warriors can't shoot, they don't score much, and the Warriors enter, they will immediately return one.
This scene looks very harmonious, you have a goal, I have a goal, there are comings and goings, but if it goes on like this, it is the Warriors who are anxious, they feel like puppies being slipped away, and there is no way to close the score!
Kerr was so anxious off the court that he jumped to his feet, but there was no way, all the tricks that could be used were used, and the Warriors were still suppressed to the death, what did this do with Kerr? He's also helpless!
Green was full of confidence before the game and wanted to perform, but in the fourth quarter, this guy gave up this idea, and he had to admit that his team can't help the Spurs, a group of old hooligans.
As for Qin Yan, the first person in the same level he wants to challenge, well, at least today is unlikely, Green has not scored points by himself now, although the data of 9 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals looks very comprehensive and very good-looking, but in the case of the team's score behind, what is needed most now is to score!
But count on Green to score...... Forget it, he does have the ability to score, and he has the ability to score 20+, but that's after next season.
Now, Green is still honestly an all-rounder. Don't think about scoring in an instant, it's too unrealistic.
As for Thompson, he really feels very good today, and he was quite hot at one time, but Thompson's most fatal flaw now is that he has no ability to attack with the ball, he needs the support of his teammates to shoot three points, and once he can't receive a pass from his teammates, it will be cool.
Curry, as the only person on the team who can compete with the Spurs, was educated by Parker at a critical moment in the fourth quarter.
"Well, it's time to pay the tuition."
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the score was not close to within 10 points, and it was clear that the Spurs still had some energy left, Kerr let out a long sigh and then withdrew all the main forces.
"Coach, we can still play!"
After being replaced, Curry and Thompson asked Kerr, they felt that they could play for a while, maybe their hand would come in a while, and a few consecutive three-pointers could catch up with the score!
"It's okay, it's just the first game, we want this season." Kerr still has a big picture, losing the first game is not a big deal, through this loss, you can see the team's shortcomings, this is the most critical thing.
"But......" Curry was still a little reluctant.
"Stephen, we want this season, and if you get hurt, it's going to be trouble." Kerr still sticks to his point of view, the season has only just begun, there are 81 regular season games left, and there are still three regular season games to play against the Spurs, and losing one game now is really nothing.
Popovich saw that the opposite side had withdrawn the main force, and naturally he would not give people face, not to mention that the Spurs were supposed to keep a low profile this season, if it weren't for the fact that the Spurs had just received a new championship ring in the first game, maybe they would have to play this game.
Bobo also played the main line, and then let Jokic and Sledgehammer Anderson play to their heart's content on the court, and he also wanted to take a closer look at how far these two guys could perform.
After all the bench changes, the Warriors did catch up with some points, but it didn't make a difference to the big picture.
In the end, the Spurs won by 8 points at home against the Warriors and successfully got off to a good start!
"Next time, we'll win."
Curry hugged Qin Yan after the game, and said a little unconvinced.
"I'll wait." Of course, Qin Yan will not be cowardly because of Curry's words, to be honest, he also wants to have a good fight with the peak splash, this first game can only be said to be a little unfair.
Cole and Popovich shook hands, and the old coach still looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, and at that moment Cole suddenly felt that he was still a long way from the championship coach.
Qin Yan's data in this game is not outstanding, it may be the reason why he won all the MVPs last season, this season Qin Yan doesn't pay so much attention to personal data, plus the tone of the whole team this season is low-key, so in the first game, Qin Yan "only" scored 26 points.
The Spurs are more eye-catching is Leonard, Leonard, who did not take the initiative to participate in the offense last season, seems to be going to become an all-round offensive and defensive talent this season, he shot 8 of 10 in this game, scored 24 points, scoring with amazing scoring efficiency, and the defensive end is still sharp, sending 3 blocks and 4 steals in the luxury data.
This made the local media in the Holy City very excited, and after Qin Yan, Leonard has also become a player with first-class offensive ability, which is undoubtedly a tiger with wings, and the Spurs can expect a great career this year!
But what they don't know is that this year's Spurs are ready to finish this season in a low-key manner, and it should be impossible to expect them to get the first record in the league or win 30 consecutive games like last season.
"Qin Yan, do you have any goals for the new season?" After the game, a reporter asked Qin Yan.
"In the new season, of course, it's best to win the championship, but after all, the season has just started, and we don't know what will happen, so just play every game steadily."
Qin Yan is abnormally low-key, making the media feel that this is a bit like him, what about the high-spirited "Thunderbolt"? Why is it becoming more and more "Buddhist"?
"Tim, what do you think of Qin Yan's statement?" Another reporter asked Duncan.
"The Buddha said, "Don't say it, don't say it." Duncan pulled out a pair of glasses and put them on his nose, and a scholarly feeling came over his face. Of course, his kind of answer also made all the media feel speechless, what the hell is "unspeakable"? Duncan, have you converted to Buddhism?
"Coach Greg......"
There was no result on the player's side, and the reporters wanted to make a breakthrough from the coach, but when they saw Popovich's unwavering face, they felt that it was better to give up, and the old man would definitely not be able to say anything......
But no matter what, Spurs' good start is here!
