Chapter 232 230: The ending the alliance wants
In the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals, the San Antonio Spurs, who advanced by sweeping the first two rounds, are very likely to hit the championship again this season.In the end, in Oklahoma, with a score of 99 to 107, he lost to the young "Thunder Three".

The loss of this game also means that the Spurs' championship dream is completely broken.With a total score of 4 to 2, the experienced Spurs finally failed to withstand the youth storm in Oklahoma City.

But. Are the San Antonio Spurs really just defeated by the youth storm?

After the game, Tim Duncan, a symbol of San Antonio and one of the greatest power forwards in the league, was interviewed by reporters in the player tunnel.

Who is Duncan?Regardless of the well-known personal honor and strong strength, what people talk about most about this guy is his low-key and restrained personality.His "facial paralysis" expression that has lasted for decades, occasionally smiling can scare the referee into giving him a technical foul. This is why Leonard is often considered to be similar to Duncan.

There is almost no off-court news for such a super forward who is usually taciturn.Today, in the player channel, I did something that I had never done in the past 15 years-complaining about the referee's whistleblowing scale.

"Obviously it's disappointing, but Oklahoma can get all the credit. We played really well in the first quarter, we controlled the game. They kept fighting and got back into shape, and their talent was impressive. I don't think we lacked effort. I think we did everything we should, but they're the better team." At first, Duncan's speech was very "official", but "Shi Buddha" may know a Chinese idiom called "first courtesy and then soldiers."

After praising the Thunder's performance and accepting that the Spurs were eliminated from the game, Duncan said, "At the end of the game, it looked like they got every call possible. ended here."

Duncan didn't change his face, and his tone was calm.After finishing speaking, he nodded very politely at the reporter before leaving.

But the reporter was stunned by Duncan's remarks, because he may be the first reporter in the world who heard Duncan publicly complain about the referee!But it can also be seen from another level that Duncan couldn't help complaining how serious the league's favoritism towards the Oklahoma City Thunder is!
Did the San Antonio Spurs really just fall for the youth storm?Duncan has already given his own answer.

After Duncan returned to the locker room, he found that Popovich was losing his temper.Unlike Duncan, Popovich has never known what it means to be restrained and low-key.Although his Spurs are restrained and low-key, he is not at all.

Publicly cursing referees, openly talking nonsense in front of reporters and the media, openly antagonizing the league, and resting the main players in key games. These are all Popovich's routine operations.Therefore, after eating such a big deflation, the old man was naturally very angry.

"Fuck the league, this whistle blows us to death! They just don't want to play any playoffs, just let the two most eye-catching teams advance!"

No one in the locker room spoke, because Popovich was standing in the middle of the locker room and scolding the air.

"Okay, Pop. Don't be so angry, it's not good for your health." Duncan was the only player who dared to walk up to Popovich and pat him on the shoulder when he lost his temper.

We may all have this experience, often look at a Chinese character, stare at it for more than 20 seconds, but suddenly find that we don’t know the character.

Just like now, Popovich, who was upright, suddenly couldn't remember the name of the big guy in front of him.

"Who the hell are you!?" Popovich shook off Duncan's hand half-jokingly.

"My name is Tim Duncan. I'm from Wake Forest University. I've played under you for 15 years." As everyone knows, Duncan answered the question with a serious face.

This inexplicable seriousness often makes the atmosphere very comical.Several Spurs players held back their laughter, and in the end, Popovich couldn't hold back anymore.A few seconds later, the old man finally showed a little smile on his face.

"You bastard, Tim." Popovich shook his head, and suddenly realized that he was not so angry. "But I still have to say, the league's handling of this matter is really fucking outrageous. They did too much in the most critical game! I will definitely criticize those bastards who are whistling at the press conference later!"

"No need, I complained to the reporter just now." Duncan waved his hand, still looking serious.

"You?" Popovich looked at Duncan in surprise, "Well, maybe you finally got the hang of it. Even the great and taciturn Tim Duncan has spoken, and the Alliance will definitely not be able to face it. Those bastards must be gnashing their teeth with anger now! Oh, not to mention, that bastard Henson Joe in the East hasn't spoken yet."

Popovich couldn't help smiling when he thought of the similar encounter between the Pacers and the Spurs in Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals yesterday.

First the Spurs and then the Pacers?David Stern, this time, you have provoked two difficult opponents at the same time!
※※※

"I fuck his grandma's bear!" Meanwhile, in Indianapolis.As Popovich expected, Coach Henson Joe was close to going berserk.

It's just that no one present could understand what he was cursing.

"What are you talking nonsense about? Let me tell you, Henson, the game is over, and we still have a chance to tie the game. Don't make extra troubles. If you are suspended by the league for inappropriate remarks, it will be in their hands." Vogel knew that Henson was very angry now, so he kept calming his emotions.

The current situation has to start with the miraculous resurrection of the Pacers in the third game.

Since the Pacers defeated the Heat in Game [-] of the series, their momentum has been out of control.

In the fourth game of the series, Paul exploded and scored 40 points to help the Pacers miraculously win two consecutive victories in Miami, turning the total score of the series into 2-2.

For Game [-] of the series, the game returns to Indianapolis.With the home bonus and badge bonus, the Pacers fans played like a soldier, and everyone was in full condition.

However, the Miami Heat also knew that their campaign was a last stand, and they also played very hard.LeBron James is on a rampage, and even Leonard, who has enhanced attributes, can't stop him.Although Wade suffered a knee injury, he also played the best performance in the series except for the night of 41.

Originally, the Heat had hoped to win the game, but the tragedy happened in the third quarter.Chris Bosh's injury made the Heat instantly confused.

Although the data of "Dragon King" has declined to a certain extent after coming to Miami, he is indeed the least visible member of the Big Three.But it would be a big mistake to judge Bosh's value based on this alone.

There is still a big difference for the Heat between a game with Bosh and a game without him.In the second half, Bosh's inside pin point suddenly disappeared, and Henson grabbed the Heat's inside line with a sharp hammer. In the end, with a difference of 4 points, he created a miracle of three consecutive victories against the Heat in the series!

With a total score of 3 to 2, the Pacers took the lead to get the match point!
As a result, the Eastern Conference finals were dragged to the sixth game, which was the one that made Henson extremely angry yesterday.

Faced with the Heat losing Bosh, the Pacers clearly have a great chance of winning.But during the game, Henson was so angry that he was late for a technical foul because he angered the referee on the spot.

And what Duncan just said in the player channel can already summarize the situation last night.

"It looked like they got every possible call opportunity, which really changed their momentum. We played a very tough defense, trying to stop them, but the whistle kept going, and they went to the free throw line again and again." Duncan's words, Henson's heart was said.

In yesterday's "win or go home" life-and-death battle, the league's partiality to the Heat has reached the point of shame.

As we all know, the Pacers' defense is known for its toughness.But in yesterday's game, as long as the physical contact was slightly intense, the referee would definitely blow the whistle!

Of course, judging from the data, the number of free throws made by the Heat does not seem to be exaggerated.But this is actually because the Pacers have also been called a lot of inexplicable offensive fouls!
The role of referees is not limited to free throws.A penalty for possession of the ball, an offensive foul or not, these have nothing to do with free throws, but they all have a major impact on the direction of the game.So just balancing the number of free throws can't cover up the league's ugly operation of G6.

Henson originally thought that he was unlucky enough, but he didn't expect that the Spurs were even more unlucky than himself. G6 was disturbed by the league, and the Spurs went home directly.At any rate, the Pacers still have a chance for a tiebreaker.

But the alliance has been intervening since G6, will he let you go in the tiebreaker?So the situation of the Pacers is not much better than that of the Spurs.

"Tie-break!? I'm afraid my players will graduate with 6 fouls in the first quarter!" Henson waved his hand, indicating that Vogel's appeasement was ineffective.

At this time, the post-match press conference between the Spurs and the Thunder was playing on the TV.The old man Popovich angrily denounced the league on stage, exhausting all the sharp words, and Stern estimates that Popovich is now in the mood to ban him for life.

Henson also wants to hold a press conference tomorrow, and then angrily scold those capitalists who only know how to count money like Popovich.But he thought about it again, what's the use of that?
Now that Popovich has finished scolding what he wants to scold, he doesn't have to wade into the muddy water.

Doesn't the league just want to watch Thunder VS Heat, 35VS6?
Okay, if you don't let me win, I won't let you do either!
"Frank!"

"what?"

"Go home early, we have to get up early for training tomorrow." Henson said, turning off the TV.Rather than scolding the alliance and not letting them get what they want, it seems more enjoyable.
