When the night falls in San Antonio, the lights flow like flowing pearls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Di put on his coat and lined up on the team's bus, where the temperature of the air conditioner was very low.

Yang Di sat in the large seat, put on his headphones, and turned his head to look out the window.

At the beginning of May, it was raining lightly.

When the bus started, the water droplets fell on the glass and slid down one by one, and the light could not be focused outside the window with raindrops, and the fans who were excited to revel in the rain could be faintly seen outside the stadium.

There were no players in the big bus to speak, and the atmosphere was still very solemn.

The sound of the radio came from the headphones, and the local station in San Antonio was broadcasting the details of the G5 fight.

The fifth game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors has just come to an end, with the Spurs beating the Warriors 107-99 at home, and Ginobili put in an eye-catching performance, hitting three-pointers at key moments to finish with 24 points and seven assists. In addition, Tim Duncan had 31 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks, and Tony Parker had 18 points. On the Warriors' side, Yang Di chipped in 32 points, 20 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Byron Davis had 19 points and 9 assists. ”

"Hey, what do you listen to?" A person suddenly sat down beside Yang Di.

Yang Di turned his head to look at it, it was head coach Montgomery, he immediately retracted his feet, moved his body, made room for Montgomery, and then put down his headphones.

"I'm listening to the radio, just listen to it." Yang Di smiled and said.

"Uh-huh, that's good." Montgomery said.

Montgomery said sincerely, "I'm going to review the G5 battle with you. ”

Yang Di glanced at the coach in surprise, a year later, the famous university coach who came from Stanford was already gray-haired, and he was aging very fast. Although jumping from the NCAA to the NBA has received more monetary rewards, it has also encountered greater exposure and public opinion pressure.

Montgomery said: "I've had a couple of miscalculations, like I think the Spurs are going to keep hitting the interior in the final minute so that you can get six fouls out of the game. ”

Yang Di was even more puzzled, "Isn't that so?" ”

"No, it's not."

Montgomery shook his head, "The Spurs chose a decent positional battle, on you, they attack very resolutely, but they are not trying to get you off, from a strategic point of view, you have 5 fouls, you are more limited when defending, and they take advantage of that." ”

Yang Di suddenly realized that at the last moment, the Spurs were not in a hurry to break through.

'Of course, the game came down to luck in the end, and Manu's breakthrough left us exhausted, including the three points in the final moments.

'But he still scored, and it was a good goal.' Yang Di sighed, "The Spurs missed the first few attacks, and I had a feeling that they would score this goal, but what I didn't expect was that they would end the game in such a big hearted way." ”

Yang Di was a little disappointed on his face: "Coach, we found that we fought defensively, and we are really not the opponent of the Spurs." ”

Montgomery mused, "The Spurs' defense has really formed a system. What I want to say is that we still have the G6 game, you don't dwell too much on the loss of Tianwangshan, the next game is back at home, we still have a chance to drag into the tie-break. ”

Yang Di nodded, it could only be the answer, the coach's tone was very sincere, and although his eyes were tired, there was also a light of encouragement.

The two chatted for a while, and Montgomery got up and left, going to chat with the other players.

Yang Di put the headphones back on, leaned back on the seat, and closed his eyes slightly.

……

The G6 match between the two sides took place on May 6.

During the same period, the Rockets were beaten by the Mavericks for three consecutive games and fell behind 2-3. The Suns swept the Grizzlies, the Heat swept the Nets, the SuperSonics shot the Kings alive and dead, and the series advanced 4-1, and the Pistons beat the 76ers and advanced 4-1. The rest of the Pacers, Celtics, Bulls, and Wizards are still in the middle of a tense series.

What is surprising is that the Pacers, who are short of major generals, stubbornly lead the Celtics 3-2, and it stands to reason that the Celtics have a full lineup and are much better than the Pacers. If the Pacers eliminate the Celtics, then the second round will face the Pistons who have already qualified, and the new and old hatreds will be the most eye-catching matchup in all the games in the second round.

Chinese fans were happy that Yang Di and Yao Ming's teams were ahead of each other, but it didn't take long for both teams to fall behind 2-3 and the situation took a turn for the worse, and it is likely that neither Chinese player could go far on the playoff stage this season.

Not to mention that the two met in the West as expected at the beginning.

The probability of the Warriors advancing is less than 20%, which is exaggerated from the comparison of the strength of the two teams to start with the No. 2 and No. 7 seeds.

No one is optimistic about the Warriors, except for Bay Area fans.

Fans have waited too long, and the Warriors are heading into the playoffs, something they didn't dare to imagine before the start of the season, and after five games against the Spurs, they showed so much value.

On the evening of May 6, enthusiastic fans walked into the stadium one by one.

Before the start of the game, on the sidelines, Annie and Tang Xinran sat together, as well as Jay Chou, who came from Taiwan, and some other friends of Yang Di, who came to the scene without much matter.

The fans at the scene still put up the Gulf flag, and the Golden State warrior icon appeared in various places in the stadium.

Fans wore white playoff commemorative T-shirts with the Warriors' logo on their faces, creating a great home atmosphere as the arena gradually filled up.

General manager Chris Mullin, who traveled to the Chicago Union for a tryout, is also back at the home arena, and Chris Cohan, the current owner of the Warriors, is also in the front row.

Since the $119 million acquisition of the Warriors in '95, Cohan has been the largest shareholder owner of the Warriors, and he is a San Francisco native, so he has a special affection for the team on this land. It's a pity that since he bought the Warriors, the Warriors have been in a state of low losses and can't even make the playoffs. The introduction of Yang Di this year has changed the team in an instant, not only has the fan support been greatly enhanced, but the team has also entered the playoffs, bringing him positive income for the first time.

Chris Cohan was sitting there, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, Svenven, smiling, and even if he lost today's game, this season was a success.

On the field, Yang Di was doing warm-up training, and he didn't see the team's uniform team senior management coming to the scene.

Cohan and Mullin said: "Yang Di's contract expires? ”

"Yes, he's going to be a restricted free agent this offseason."

"This summer, I only give you one opinion, your first task is to renew Yang Di's contract, and it will cost you to keep him."

"I know."
