Chapter 463 Double play at home
"This is an extremely difficult game for the Spurs!" Rick Barry looked at the lonely and exhausted Spurs players with some regret, seeing the unwillingness in their eyes, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly!

"That's right!" Kenny Smith also nodded in agreement: "Although the Warriors seemed to be very relaxed throughout the game, they are not so bewildered in terms of maintaining stability!"

"In this game, the Warriors made full use of their interior and strong bench lineup. If they can guarantee the continuity of the offensive end, I am afraid that this year's championship will undoubtedly be theirs!"

Kenny Smith's words made all the audience who love the Warriors and Spurs nod secretly!

As he said, if the Warriors continue until the end of the game, I'm afraid they will finally win the championship trophy without any suspense!
The hustle and bustle of Rockefeller Center finally dissipated, but Bruce and West had to discuss the future.

"This year's draft has gradually revealed its magnificence. What we have to do now is to make the best use of the picks in our hands!" West said slowly to Bruce, seeing him nodding, said: "The rookies of this season, according to a series of prediction websites and our scout feedback, these young people with lottery strength basically have the talent and opportunity to become superstars!"

"Yeah!" Bruce nodded in approval, but thinking of the pick from the Clippers, he couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly!
In this year's draft, only the lottery area basically has players with an annual salary of tens of millions or even more!

Especially the top five picks James and others, they will grow into the top core of the team very quickly. Of course, if the Pistons can give Milicic a chance, then this talented young man is also very likely Maybe it will become the next big dream!
"Should we trade down?" After a long while, West's sudden words stunned Bruce for an instant!
From the very beginning, Bruce fell into the best player after Wade, especially the entanglement with Kaman and the next few people, which made him gradually fall into the vortex of only high-ranking picks!

Now, hearing West's sudden words, although at first thought, he secretly frowned at this choice, but after thinking about it carefully, West's proposal might not be a very good thing!

Kirk Hinrich, TJ Ford, Jarvis Hayes, Michael Pietrus, Luke Ridnour, etc., can bring a lot of options to the Warriors !

This season, while owning the sixth pick of the Clippers, because Larry Hughes was sent to the Wizards that year, after completing a three-way deal with the Magic, this year's first round pick will be Bruce's!

"If we analyze according to this year's record, the picks in our hands from the Clippers and the Wizards are very likely to reach the top ten picks, plus one of our picks in the 22-30 picks, I am afraid that those guys this year I'll be so jealous!" West said teasingly, and gestured to Bruce, with indescribable pride and excitement on his face!
The general manager of a team, while trying his best to improve the team's lineup, is also very fascinated by the draft picks that seem to be gambling!
Especially for the lottery picks every year, if you can have two, this will be something that makes all the managers in the league extremely envious!

"Hehe, this is what I should do!" Bruce said without any modesty, and then he looked solemn: "If we choose to trade down, who is the ideal trading choice?"

"Well. We have to study this aspect carefully. I don't want to do a bad deal!" West frowned, then smiled and said: "Hey, I guess we will let out a lot of managers who are interested in this lottery. of!"

On May 5th, in the home court of the Warriors, they once again ushered in the Spurs who were gnashing their teeth and wanted to complete the comeback!

"Tonight's game will directly determine the trend of this series. If the Spurs continue to lose, they may go to the edge of the cliff!" Kenny Smith said with a feeling of entanglement. If the Spurs are as he said, I am afraid that this There is no suspense in the series anymore!

"For this series, all I can say is 'Come on!warrior! ! "" Rick Barry said with great expectations, obviously has an unparalleled love for the Warriors!
The moment the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel, the fans who had been surrounded by excitement cheered and shouted at their home team at their loudest!

Seeing the same appearance as the previous game, Popovich lost his temper completely!
"Damn it, when did the fans here become so annoying!!" Muttering to himself, Popovich walked helplessly to the coach's bench!
Bruce greeted the surrounding fans with a smile. Seeing that all the players from both sides returned to the rest area, he couldn't help secretly looking forward to it!
"In this game, we have every reason to believe that the Spurs will launch a fierce counterattack!" Wilkens looked at his players seriously, and turned his head to look at Popovich, who was explaining tactics to the players like his own. , a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said: "So, I hope you can maintain your concentration. If there is any accident, we are very likely to lose this victory!"

"Don't worry, Lenny, we will definitely go all out!" Barkley slapped his chest. He didn't think the Spurs could win a victory at his doorstep!
"drop!!"

The referee on duty blew the whistle that the game was about to start. Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the main players of both sides returned to the court one after another!
"David, I hope you can get good statistics in this game!" Ben Wallace obviously maintained his excitement. Since his outstanding performance in the last game, his provocations against Robinson have become more frequent!
"Hehe!" Robinson smiled faintly, nodded to Duncan who was not far away, and then stared closely at the referee's movements.

Not getting the response he wanted, Wallace muttered rather bored!
"Okay, the game is about to start, let's not repeat the old saying!" The referee on duty said, after looking at the preparations of the two teams, he threw the basketball into the air!

"boom!!"

There was a sound like a batter hitting a volleyball, and even though Wallace slapped so hard, Billups still received the "pass" with some reluctance.

"Damn Ben!" Billups flicked his right hand in frustration, and smoothly brought the ball to the frontcourt under Parker's harassment!
"Hahaha, Ben's strength is simply terrifying!" Kenny Smith laughed and said, then pointed to Billups who was still shaking his hand slightly: "Look, Chauncey's right hand is already swollen Bar!"

"Hehe, it seems that this guy's excitement is still exciting!" Rick Barry said so, and then looked at the court expectantly!
In the first quarter, Wallace really showed a good competitive state, especially on the defensive end and the control of the rebound. He is almost like an omnipotent defensive expert.

In this section, the Warriors made full use of their lineup depth and star role, which brought great pressure and helplessness to the Spurs!

Among them, Duncan shot with a very high hit rate again and again, which made Danny Ferry very depressed!

Under his leadership, the Warriors' offensive end once played surprisingly smooth and focused!
Driven by Duncan on the offensive end, and guarded by Wallace on the defensive end, the Spurs' guard line rarely breaks into the inside!
The combination of the two of them can't help but make people feel a headache!
"Boys, your performance is very good. Now our 8-point lead is enough for you to rest for a while!!"

In this quarter of the game, Wilkens didn't know why, he didn't replace the substitute, but started a series of confrontations with the Spurs' main lineup!
It was also the performance of Duncan and others and Wilkens' weird arrangement that made the Spurs' strategy in the first quarter basically fail!

In the second quarter, the two teams started a duel between the substitutes. Although the Spurs kept Arenas and Tony Parker, who had better physical strength, on the court, their overall strength was weak, which still put them in the middle of the field. Under the pressure of the Warriors!
In this section of the game, the veteran pair of Olajuwon and Barkley fully let the Spurs players appreciate the stunts they are famous for, dream dance steps and Barkley's powerful back attack!

With two people guaranteeing the inside line, under the sophisticated organization of Ginobili, Kirilenko and Mark Jackson on the outside line, they used a wave of 6:0 spurts to gradually push the Spurs into the abyss!
At the end of halftime, the Warriors' smooth offense and tough performance on the defensive end made everyone see their strength!
Especially the other Eastern and Western teams that entered the playoffs, after seeing this half of the game, they all worried and tried their best to find a solution!
After the halftime break, the Warriors still maintained a very good stability. Although their shooting percentage has dropped, but with their good defensive strength, the Spurs did not catch up with some scores in one fell swoop, but fell into a The Warriors are in a quagmire of defensive circles!

With the end of the third quarter, Popovich suddenly calmed down. He looked at Duncan, who was galloping on the court, but wearing a Warriors uniform, and his heart was indescribably complicated!
After the start of the fourth quarter, Popovich was surprisingly calm, making all the Spurs players feel a little lonely and unwilling!

In this quarter of the game, although they tried their best to equalize or even overtake the score, under the amazing stability of the Warriors throughout the game, they gradually lost their belief in winning this game!

When the final game ended with a score of 114:103, the applause and cheers the Warriors received made all the Spurs players secretly bitter!
