Chapter 293 Fighting the Spurs Again
McGrady and Arenas performed best in this game. McGrady made 20 of 10 shots and scored 24 points and 11 rebounds. Arenas made 15 of 5 shots, including 5 of 1 three-pointers, scoring 15 points and 3 [-] rebound, he patronized himself to score, which is not very effective for the team organization.

Among other players, Larry Hughes played well in the first quarter, scoring a total of 6 points and 3 rebounds. Jermaine O'Neal just returned from injury, and his performance was average, with 9 points and 6 rebounds.

Gasol, who started the game, made 8 of 3 shots and scored a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds. His energy was too much consumed on the defensive end. It is not easy to play like this in his rookie season.

The Warriors feel like they are falling into the rookie wall as a whole. A team with so many first-year rookies and prospective rookies is not necessarily a good thing for the club. Young players don’t know how to adjust physically and psychologically. I often fall into a trough inexplicably.

The Warriors who returned to San Francisco that night got three days of rest, which is a good thing for the Warriors.

But the bad news is that their next game will be an away game against the San Antonio Spurs, which has already been sworn by countless nba experts to lose. Recognized as the four most difficult home games to conquer.

But Verus actually doesn't take it seriously. The Spurs' 01-02 season is far less powerful than in the following seasons. Duncan's shots increased this season and averaged more than 25 points per game. This is actually not a good thing, which shows that the Spurs lack enough scoring points. .

The scoring players currently relying on the Spurs, in addition to Duncan is the 33-year-old shooting guard Steve Smith, and the 37-year-old Admiral David Robinson who may retire at any time. Others Malik Rose and Antonio Daniels are quite Mediocre, and Tony Parker is just a first-year rookie. Although he has secured the main starting position, his help to the team is extremely limited.

Next season, Tony Parker will be in the form of a small French sports car, Ginobili will also come to San Antonio, and Stephen Jackson will also be full of energy. That is the tough Spurs that are really difficult to deal with.

From the playoffs, we can see the big difference between the Spurs before and after. In history, they were easily eliminated by the Lakers 1:4 this season, and the Lakers who won the Triple Crown next season will still be the OK combination, but they will be 4 by the Spurs. :2 Sweep out.

"Everyone knows that the closer to the playoffs, the stronger the Spurs and Lakers in the Western Conference. They are always used to exerting their strength at the end, especially the Spurs and Lakers at home. If they want to beat them in an away game, the difficulty is definitely the highest level."

"Let's take a look at the Spurs' starting lineup. Their inside twin towers David Robinson with Tim Duncan, small forward Malik Rose, shooting guard Steve Smith, and point guard Tony Parker."

"The Spurs now have only one player averaging 40 minutes per game, and that is their stoner Tim Duncan. The Spurs can find suitable substitutes in other positions, but Duncan is really irreplaceable."

"With the exception of Duncan, none of the Spurs' players averaged more than 30 minutes per game. They played team basketball with 12 players in rotation. Veteran David Robinson, Danny Ferry, and Terry Burt had experience and brains. Young Tony Parker is fearless and driven."

"The Spurs are notorious for using older players. Admiral David Robinson is 37, Danny Ferry is 36, Terry Burt is 39, Steve Smith is 33."

"Other teams generally don't dare to rely on old players, at least they don't dare to use a large number of older players, but the Spurs always use old players as a magic weapon, sign a one-year short contract, play desperately like chicken blood, start or important rotation , are as always conscientious and very useful.”

"The Warriors, who rested for three days, dispatched their strongest lineup. Center No. 11 Yao Ming is from the land of China. Behind him are 12 billion Chinese descendants cheering and cheering. Power forward No. 7 Jermaine O'Neal, Lenny has full confidence in him , the small forward Warriors star No. 1 McGrady, he and the shooting guard No. 33 Grant Hill are also called the Warriors twin stars.”

"The point guard is No. 4 Chauncey Billups. After more than half a season of baptism in the regular season, it turns out that Arenas still has a lot to learn. Although Billups looks unpretentious, he is One of the most important cornerstones of the Warriors' perimeter."

"The Spurs sent Duncan a jump ball. Admiral Robinson couldn't jump anymore. The Warriors sent a jump ball to Yao. Two talented players, Yao got the ball first."

"Obviously, the Warriors are united in this game. They cannot accept the losing streak. If the downturn continues, they will be eliminated from the playoffs at the last minute. Even if they face the mighty Spurs in this away game, they will still not bow their heads. Pride."

"The current starting lineup of the Spurs, the twin towers of Duncan and Robinson must still be strong. Although the Admiral is a lot of age, but Lian is quite old and can still eat. Unless the Spurs' inside lineup meets the big shark O'Neal, otherwise it is stronger. Inside any other team."

"Small forward Malik Rose is strong and strong, and he performed well on both ends of the offense and defense, but he, like Parker, is a false starter, even including the old shooting guard Steve Smith. The three starters basically don't Play for more than 30 minutes."

"Daniels, Danny Ferry, and Terry Burt on the Spurs bench are all on standby at any time. Their experience and combat effectiveness are not inferior to the starting players. This is the case for the Spurs. Whoever feels good today will be more. Play for a while, except for Duncan who is irreplaceable, all other players are treated equally."

"Whether the Warriors' Grant Hill and Billups can beat the Spurs' outside combination of Steve Smith and Tony Parker will be the key to whether the Warriors can get out of the away game today."

"The 29-year-old Grant Hill is at the peak of his life. In addition to the old ankle injury that makes people feel a little worrying, he will have a great advantage against the Spurs veteran Smith. After all, his height, weight, speed and footwork They are better than their opponents in all aspects, one is a superstar and the other is just an ordinary star."

"Spicy Billups, I don't know if he can make the Spurs coach Popovich call a timeout. The Spurs rookie Tony Parker is very strong. Although many people think Daniels is more effective. But I have to say that Daniels has arrived. His upper limit, and Parker is still at the lower limit just starting the runway, once Parker takes off, there will be no comparisons to Daniels."
