Chapter 295 Spurs Cliff
In the passionate G3 battle, amidst the loud cheers, the Warriors once again completed their counterattack against the Spurs.

No one thought that the No. 2 seed could push the No. 1 seed to such an extent. The Warriors took a [-]-[-] lead in the series, which really surprised countless experts.

What's even more embarrassing is that the Rockets, which led the Mavericks 2-0 in the away game, seemed to want to sweep the Mavericks, but lost the key G3 game after returning home, and also led 2-1.

Both the Rockets and the Warriors have become unpredictable factors, and no one knows what these two teams can do.

……

At the same time, the NBA completed the lottery ceremony for the 05 draft.

The Milwaukee Bucks won the No. [-] pick, the Atlanta Hawks won the No. [-] pick, and the Utah Jazz won the No. [-] lottery.

To the regret of the Warriors uniform team, the first-round pick from the Lakers picked a [-]th pick this year, and such a high-ranked draft pick was rejected in the trade involving Baron Davis. Traded to the Hornets.

But in the final analysis, the Lakers are the most heartbroken.

The traded Yang Di became an All-Star. Although the traded Speedy Claxton can still have a good performance of 13+6, his appearance rate is too low. This season, he has played a total of 44 games due to injuries. Judging from his age of 27, it is difficult to become a master.

The Warriors can still have three draft picks in this year's draft.

They are their own first-round pick, then their own second-round pick and the second-round pick from the 76ers involved in the Salmons trade.

The playoffs are still going on, and in the absence of particularly strong signing changes, the Warriors uniform team has sent out some scouts accordingly, and began to follow the rookies in various training camps to find out, in order to be able to participate in the draft. Up, panning for gold in the sand.

General manager Chris Mullin traveled to Chicago in person for a special inspection of the joint workout.

"This season, the Warriors' starting lineup is already complete. The most urgent thing to look for is the organizer and offensive initiator of the second team."

Montgomery once talked to Mullin about the Warriors lineup, and Mullin knew it well.

Accompanied by General Manager Assistant Garcia, Garcia is a top student who graduated from Stanford University in San Francisco and is an expert in data analysis.

Garcia sorted out the scouting report and said: "Among the college students participating in the draft this year, there are not many outstanding independent offenses. On the contrary, there are many high-quality point guards in the first round, and they are traditional types, mainly passing the ball. point guard."

"Our draft pick is estimated to be between 15 and 20. With the addition of the two picks in the second round, we can select a little more players with greater potential."

"The most important thing is." Mu Lin said with a smile: "To be able to cooperate with Yang Di is the core of Yang Di's future warrior."

Under Garcia's glasses, a slight look of surprise appeared.

Mullin continued: "You have seen Yang Di's performance. The Warriors are two completely different teams with him and without him. Now that Baron Davis is traded to the team, the team's basic lineup is finalized. , if there is no accident, we will play this set of main force for two to three years."

"Then see if there is any progress?"

"Obviously, Yang Di has been improving. As long as others don't regress, the team will definitely improve." Chris Mullin has great trust in Yang Di.

……

The G4 battle has not yet started, and the Spurs with one foot on the edge of the cliff are particularly dangerous.

For the Spurs, this is a game that cannot be lost. If this game still loses to the Warriors, they will fall behind 1 to 3, and in the playoffs in history, the team that came back after falling behind 1 to 3 , very few.

Before the start of the game, the Rockets and the Mavericks in the Texas Civil War had a 2-2 tie. The Rockets led 2-0 in the away game. They lost two more games at home, and the Mavericks pulled the series back to the same starting line. It is also surprising.

This year's first round of chaos fell out, and basically there was no sign of victory or defeat.

Only the Suns, No. 3 in the West and the Heat, No. 0 in the East, are currently leading their opponents [-]-[-], and they are very likely to sweep their opponents in this round.

"The Warriors played an unbelievable performance. The strength of their team is definitely more than the seventh in the West."

After leading 2 to 1, TV commentators such as Barkley and Smith turned the limelight. Some people think that the Spurs may really fall into the hands of the Warriors, and it is definitely not a mouthful of poisonous milk.

In the Warriors locker room, the atmosphere of the Spurs team was a little dignified.

Popovich said in a deep voice: "We underestimated the Warriors. We had a good chance in the first game, but they were overturned by the Warriors."

"In the last game, we completely fell into the rhythm of the Warriors. This is the home court of the Warriors, and the referee's penalty scale will also be biased towards the Warriors. If we are always in a state of chasing points, it will be difficult to overtake and beat the Warriors at the last moment. So, this time the game, the start is very important.”

"For Yang Di's defense, the first and most important thing is to get stuck. His strength is too strong. If he doesn't get stuck, he will easily be occupied."

Popovich looked at Duncan while talking.

Duncan nodded, sighing slightly in his heart, Yang Di's offensive rebounds are too fierce.

He has played so many seasons in the league, and he has never seen an insider who is so obsessed with rebounding, and he has such terrifying strength at such a young age. If he is stronger in two years, who can stop him .If you have to think of someone who can compete with Yang Di, it may be Rodman before.

Rodman does not have such a strong strength, but Rodman's rebounding skills are higher than Yang Di's. It has reached the point where he can judge the landing point by feeling, which is amazing.

And Yang Di is only in the second stage, relying on his excellent positioning and strength to grab rebounds.

Just like the three stages of Dameng's footsteps, Yang Di has only completed the second stage of practice after training, and is not particularly proficient. If he can master the third stage, Yang Di's inside attack will become unsolvable.

"Byron Davis."

Popovich chanted the point guard's name, and suddenly felt very tricky.

"A powerful point guard who is good at breakthroughs and organization." Popovich once said Davis' specialty, "It can only be anti-punching but not anti-shooting. Davis's three-point ability is average, and he will not always Choose a three-point shot, Tony, if you really can't defend, you let him shoot a three-pointer and only block the breakthrough."

Popovich arranged Parker's risky defense. In the first few games, Davis' defense was not good at all. The key point is that he has no one to rotate. Parker must solve it by himself, otherwise after the misalignment, others will face Parker. Both have obvious height and weight advantages.

"As for Richardson and Dunleavy, their performance after the playoffs has been tepid, and the focus can be appropriately shifted to these two."

Popovich can see it. The Warriors are playing Yang Di and Davis in a double turn. They cannot be strangled. The Spurs are always passive in defense.
