Except for Duncan, most of the others are due to lack of physical fitness. Although there are also injuries, they are not that serious, and the importance of other people is naturally incomparable with Duncan. Even if one or two are absent, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. , but this physical issue must be taken seriously.

Like Robert Horry, he stated in the team doctor’s report that due to his age, his physical fitness cannot be resolved through training or rest. Over time, the players themselves will feel tired, then their state will decline, and their bodies will be prone to injuries.

Brent Barry and Michael Finley are slightly better. Both of them normally play more than 25 minutes. Judging from their positioning in the team and regular playing time, such playing time is enough, while Van Eyck Searle didn't pay much attention to training when he was young, and relied too much on his body to play. His physical fitness was not very good, and at the same time, he had many hidden injuries to his body, which affected his state.

Among the other players, like Nesterovic and Mohamed are in relatively good physical condition, Oberto is a little bit worse, needless to say Udic, a young man who has basically never played before, naturally not There is a possibility of fatigue, so Popovich considered whether to give Udic some opportunities in the next game.

But the reason why Popovich dare not do this is that the Mavericks' home game is next. Can he bear such pressure as a young man, and the Spurs have already lost a home game, so they really can't spend any more capital. .

The better point is that there are three days of rest between the second game and the third game. This is good news for the Spurs who desperately need a rest. Popovich even plans to pack a Taking the bus to Dallas for an away game can reduce flight fatigue, and at the same time allow players to have a different journey where they can relax.

Seriously, not to mention those players, it was Popovich himself, who felt a little nauseous on the plane, so after thinking of this idea, Popovich hurriedly arranged it, and then arranged for the assistants. The training for a few days is mainly to maintain state and restore physical fitness. No confrontation training is arranged, no tactical class is arranged. The game against the Mavericks is no longer a matter of tactics. Moreover, now that there is a lack of troops and major generals, they can’t play tactics. It is better to let the players take a good rest.

Even Stephen was forced to reduce the amount of training. Although it was found through the test that there was nothing wrong with Stephen's body, for the sake of safety, he was still asked to rest more. After all, Duncan can't count on the future, he can only count on these few outsiders players.

After three days of rest, the Spurs team took the bus to Dallas after a long journey. For the arrival of the Spurs, the Mavericks team was very happy, especially their owner Mark Cuban, who was even more excited , showed great enthusiasm for the Spurs.

For the first time in a long time, Mark Cuban saw the championship trophy and waved to himself. As long as he defeated the aging Spurs, then whether it was the Phoenix Suns or the Los Angeles Clippers, the Mavericks would have Great advantage.

Then in the finals, the Pistons were not in good shape, and the Heat were also veterans. Cuban is now a little impatiently waiting for the game to start, to win, and to attack the championship step by step. The return is coming, why not make him feel excited.

The third game between the Spurs and the Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals began at the American Airlines Center Arena. The fans in Dallas were much more enthusiastic than the fans in San Antonio. The Mavericks' mascot kept giving out gifts to the fans on the scene. All kinds of gifts, Mark Cuban is quite generous in this regard, which is comparable to the fine he paid to the league.

A team, when you think it is so strong that it is invincible, you will think that this team is good everywhere, but once you find that this team will still fail, then you will find This team is full of weaknesses, and that's the case with the Spurs right now.

When the Spurs won the first place in the league, everyone felt that the Spurs were invincible this season. It should not be difficult for them to defend the title. Breaking the curse of winning the championship in even-numbered years seems to be a matter of course. There is no major change in the lineup, and a few capable and experienced players have been reinforced. Although the Spurs' troika is one year older, they are still in their prime, and there is Popovich. Deployment, using tactics to make up for their physical strength problems, perfect execution has brought good tactical effects, and at the same time, the strong bench lineup prevents them from being unavailable.

No matter how you look at it, the Spurs have the greatest possibility of winning the championship. The championship looks full, even if it fails occasionally, it is within the acceptable range. There is no team that cannot fail. The extremely powerful Bulls only achieved 72 wins , except for the three-game losing streak in the middle that caused a little ripple, there were no other problems.

Even if they lost a game against the Kings, no one would think that the Kings would pose a big threat to the Spurs. The obvious point is that defeat. The Spurs have a strong smell of water. Obviously the Spurs The team hopes to return to the home court to beat the Kings. Although Wells caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs, it is only a problem at this point.

However, in the Western Conference semifinals, when every game is extremely critical, the Spurs would lose a home game to the Mavericks, and from the first game, it seemed that the Spurs were a bit difficult to deal with and barely passed. In the second game, The Spurs are simply powerless and exhausted, which everyone can see.

At this time, all the problems of the Spurs came out, such as physical problems, injury problems, and the priority of shots. Stephen's excellent performance in the last quarter of the second game was true, but he was not as proud as the Spurs. Tactics have nothing to do with the Spurs, relying entirely on their personal strength to support the Spurs. If the hole dug ahead is not too large, it may not be clear who will win the game after another 5 minutes. If Stephen takes over the game 5 minutes earlier, maybe The game is another result.

The emergence of this situation makes people pay attention to this problem. If the Spurs continue to play tactically, Stephen's singles ability is a waste, and if Stephen continues to play like this, then the Spurs' tactical advantage will be turned into nothing. have.

This kind of problem is not impossible to solve, but it will take time. Now, at the critical moment of the playoffs, every game is very important. It is impossible for the Spurs to experiment with this kind of game. How to fight, this is everyone's imagination.

The adjustments after each game in the playoffs are the most concerned issues of some experts or professional fans, but this time they are disappointed. The Spurs and Mavericks are both starting lineups from the previous game. The Mavericks won’t adjust. That's normal, but why did the Spurs still stick to the lineup of the previous game?

In fact, Popovich didn't have this kind of worry. As the head coach, he knew exactly where the team's problems were. Defending him, the Spurs will not be widened by such a big gap in the third point, then the Spurs will not fail, so he thinks that it is no problem to stick to the tactics and style of play of the previous game, mainly It is necessary to adjust the physical strength and state of the players.

Not to mention that Nowitzki is impossible to explode every game. Even if this game is still going to explode, Popovich still has a secret weapon to deal with him. The defense is quite in place. Although this kind of defense will consume Stephen's physical strength extremely, Stephen has never suffered from exhaustion, and it is not necessary for Stephen to defend Nowitzki all the time, as long as he defends when Duncan can't play. That's fine.

After more than three days of rest, Duncan immediately asked for the ball in the low post as soon as he came on the court. Robert Horry directly lobbed the ball back. After receiving the ball, Duncan turned around and cut into the back with a small hook, hooking the ball into the basket. The whole process was like an antelope. The hanging corner is not sloppy at all, and there is no sign of Duncan being seriously injured and unable to continue playing as the media said.

Nowitzki missed a shot, and Duncan jumped up and took off the basket. When he was in the air, he threw the ball towards his own half. In the past, one black and one white were Tony Parker and Devon Harris, but just behind the two, there was a black figure running aside at a speed not inferior to theirs.

Stephen's running speed with the ball is naturally not as fast as the two of them, not to mention that both of them are famous for their speed, even if they are ordinary point guards, Stephen may not be able to catch up with the ball, but running empty-handed is different , Stephen went all out, just a little slower than them.

Tony Parker was very clever. After noticing that someone was chasing him, he saw a figure in the same color jersey running aside from the corner of his eye. He lifted the ball up while running, and the ball immediately flew high and flew towards the backboard. , At this time, Stephen's feet paused, his body rose into the sky like a rocket, received the ball with half his body higher than the basket, and then glided to the position of the basket, waved the ball into the basket.

But probably because he used too much strength. When Stephen fell to the ground, he couldn't hold his feet. He ran to the basketball hoop and lay down on it. Then he waved his hands and kept waving. Worry about whether Stephen will be injured. Stephen is the team's biggest hope now. His physical strength, impact and health are all indispensable for the Spurs now.

Even Mark Cuban, who saw this dunk with his own eyes, has a heart for Stephen. Such a player is not only capable, but also can drive the market. The boss will not like it. I don’t know if there is a chance to make such a player Now that the players are recruited, Mark Cuban immediately made up his mind to wait until the end of the season and ask Nelson Jr. to ask if there is such a possibility.
