After the game against the Jazz, a group of media surrounded Popovich, "Mr. Greg, when will Qin Yan be free to be interviewed?" ”

Popovich: "Well, Qin Yan has a problem with his fork psoas muscle today, just wait for him to heal." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The reporters were speechless for a while, and today they originally wanted to ask why Qin Yan, Leonard and others did not play today, whether there was any contradiction with the coach or that they could no longer gain the trust of the coach. (Of course, it's purely nothing to look for, and there is no reason for Popovich to take a break in turn, everyone knows it)

As a result, as soon as today's game ended, these few who did not play were directly sent away by Popovich, and the reporters did not block the door, and they did not even find a figure.

Of course, Popovich also understands that he can no longer stop reporters from interviewing players, especially Qin Yan, but Popovich also believes that after these demonstrations, Qin Yan should be ready to deal with the media.

The Spurs' next opponent is the Indiana Pacers, a team with a long history and a former rival.

The most famous star of the Pacers should be Reggie Miller of the last century, the man who once pushed away Joe's gang to complete the stunner, the man who once brought humiliation to Jordan, and supported the backbone of the Pacers with his thin body.

In 2004, the Pacers were infinitely close to the championship, that year, the Pacers had Jermaine O'Neal, the tough "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson, and the defensive master, "Beast" Ron Artest, and they also had Reggie Miller in the last days of his career, the most famous killer in the league at that time, although Miller was the last light of the sunset at that time, but as long as Miller stood outside the three-point line, it was the most force to be reckoned with, and at the most critical moment, He's still the most menacing!

That year's Pacers were the most likely to win the championship, but unfortunately, on November 19, 2004, with Artest's punch, it all went up in vain. Most of the main players of the Pacers were suspended, the team's strength was greatly reduced, and finally regretted to be out, Miller had to retire with his pursuit of championships and love for the team, and never returned to the NBA.

The Pacers' luck seems to have been cut off in Auburn Hills, and this blow made the Pacers not recover for a long time, although there were powerful players like TJ Ford in the middle, but these players were plagued by injuries, and then finally a little guy named Danny Granger rose, this guy won the "Most Improved Player" award in the 08-09 season, and was selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star, and also led the Pacers back to the playoffs.

But the skies weren't beautiful, the gloom of Auburn Hills didn't seem to have lifted, still hanging over the Pacers, and Granger, the emerging leader, was hit hard by injuries before he could fully use his energy. This season, Granger was plagued by a knee injury before the start of the season and couldn't play at all!

This calamity of the Pacers, Qin Yan felt sorry for them in his heart, because Qin Yan knew that Paul George, the star of the Pacers, had a serious broken leg! I almost thought George wouldn't be able to stand up! Fortunately, George overcame the injury and was reborn from the ashes, otherwise the fate of the Pacers would have been tragic.

After this season's Pacers cut out Granger, there are not many big fish left, all small shrimp, and George "Pickled Pepper" at this time has not yet grown. And Roy Hibbert, this "black Yao Ming", to be reasonable, he is really a "black" Yao Ming in strength, all kinds of skills and abilities are incomparable with Yao Ming, Qin Yan also knows that this Comrade Hibbert later had a nickname called "Gao Yuanyuan", to tell the truth, this guy is indeed average, just a blue-collar worker.

As for the later "blowing brother" Lance Stephenson, he is still a sophomore and is not the defensive titan who can blow in James's ear.

As for the others, forget it, or don't talk about it.

Qin Yan closed the computer, constantly going through the information of the opponents one by one in his mind, thinking about how to score points from the defense of these opponents tomorrow.

This is Qin Yan's habit, to see who the situation is the night before the game, plus the memories in his mind, so that he can truly know himself and the other.

At this time, his cell phone rang.

Qin Yan took it and saw that it was Su Xiaoya, the girl.

"Hey, girl, you still haven't slept so late?" Qin Yan asked as he picked up the tactical map.

"Well, you know what, you've played well in these two games, and your fans have gone up again. But because you have never been free to be interviewed by the media, many media outlets are saying bad things about you. Su Xiaoya's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"It's hard work, you help me take care of the website every day, I really don't know how to thank you." Qin Yan is still very grateful to Su Xiaoya, she still has to finish her studies in school, but she still has to worry about her own affairs, she really works hard for this girl.

"Well, it's nothing, the specific things are still Tuffy and they're doing, I'm just going to help take a look, but ah, you really have to be interviewed."

"Well, the old man has agreed, and I can be interviewed in the next game." Qin Yan said the news he got today.

"Well, that's good, by the way, you have to remember that I am your future information officer, and you will pay me back in the future~" Miss Su's voice was very excited.

"Okay, got it."

……

The next two of them began to be very bored, and the long phone porridge lasted for more than an hour, oh, by the way, it was still a video call, Miss Su was hanging around in her dormitory in cute pajamas, looking very leisurely.

Qin Yan later hung up the phone on the grounds that it was getting late, after all, Su Yatou still has class mornings tomorrow, and although her game is at night, she still has to go to the stadium to practice during the day.

So the call ended in an atmosphere where both of them were a little reluctant, and Qin Yan hurriedly went to bed, after all, sufficient rest before the big battle was the first element of victory.

The next night, the AT&T Center, the Spurs' home stadium, was once again packed.

The Pacers were all in full force tonight, except for Granger, and all of their immediate power came to San Antonio.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith came here tonight to be in charge of commenting on the game, it is worth mentioning that Kenny Smith lost a bet after Qin Yan's first game, and then commented that the Heat game was really changed into women's clothes, which made Smith popular again, and of course, it also made Smith dare not underestimate Qin Yan anymore.

And tonight, Bacchus and Smith will once again explain Qin Yan's game, and the pair of TNT's most famous commentators seem to be fans of Qin Yan now.

"Whoa, Kenny, today's walkers look like they're on a high level! Looks like they're going to win the game! Barkley exaggerated.

"Charles, you should be glad that Reggie is not responsible for the commentary today, otherwise he will definitely strangle you." Smith interface to.

"Haha, Kenny, didn't you notice, Reggie is sitting in the audience today!" Buckley snapped his eyes and waved at a figure in the front row.

At this time, the spotlight on the scene also hit Reggie Miller, and Miller also stood up simply and greeted the fans cooperatively.

The Spurs' mascot, Little Wolf, also brought a basketball to Miller, who walked to the court with a smile, stood two steps outside the three-point line, and then shot a hollow three-pointer with his most standard moves.

The fans in the stadium stood up and applauded Miller, although Miller is not a hero of San Antonio, but Miller is still very respected as one of the few players in the league who is loyal to only one team in his life, after all, San Antonio also has players like "Admiral" Robinson and "Stone Buddha" Duncan, so the fans still have a sense of identification with him.

Barkley began to introduce the Pacers' starting lineup tonight: "Okay, let's take a look at the Pacers' starting lineup tonight. ”

Center: Roy Hibbert

Power forward: David West

Small forward: Paul George

Shooting guard: Gerard Green

Point guard: George Hill

This lineup should be the strongest lineup that the Pacers can come up with at the moment. If Granger is not injured, the Pacers will have the same outside duo as the Spurs, Granger and George, just like the Spurs' Leonard and Qin Yan, are both players who can attack and defend, and they can both play swing people, and even have a division of labor on offense and defense!

Originally, the most important attraction of this game was the matchup between the two outside combinations, but Granger's injury shattered that view.

Therefore, the biggest problem for the Pacers tonight is how to limit the Spurs' "ice and fire" outside line.

"Okay, let's take a look at the Spurs' starting lineup, oh, it's a lineup that we're all familiar with." Smith picked up.

Spurs' lineup tonight is no different from the first game:

Centre-forward: Tiago Split

Power forward: Tim Duncan

Small forward: Kawhi Leonard

Scoring guard: Qin Yan

Point guard: Tony Parker

After being rested for one game, Qin Yan returned to the starting lineup again, which also directly debunked the rumors that Qin Yan could not be trusted by the head coach in the bad media.

And in a position in the playoffs on the Spurs bench, a little yellow-skinned girl was sitting there with some curiosity, obviously the first time to such a place, and the atmosphere of the scene made her a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Hi, girl, are you here to cheer for Qin?" Suddenly, an old man with a white beard in front of the little girl asked the little girl kindly.

This little girl, that is, Mina, was also relieved when she saw the old man's smile, she felt that this old man was very kind.

"Oh, are you from China too?" The old man asked again.

"No, my brother and I met at school, just a few days ago." Mina was still very polite.

"Oh." The old man suddenly realized, it turned out that he met when he went to middle school to send warmth, and he thought that this little girl was a Chinese girl like Su just now.

Of course, this old man is naturally our respected old man Popovich, but I didn't expect this old man to gossip too.

Qin Yan was warming up on the court at this time, and he didn't realize that Mina had come to the scene, and he only had one thing on his mind now, that is, he must play well tonight and compete with the Pacers, especially with the man who can be reborn with a broken leg - Paul George.

Come on, Walker!
