: Seven hundred and eighty-five: The future is coming too soon
When the Warriors officially announced that they signed Steve Kerr as head coach for $25 million in five years, people didn’t actually feel particularly strong.
Now, everyone is immersed in the fierce confrontation in the conference finals, who has the mind to manage a team that was eliminated early.
Except for the Warriors fans, no one cares about who the Warriors will be head coach. It doesn't matter if they change Kerr or Van Gundy.
But Link frowned when he watched the news. Only he in the world knows that a new era is coming.
Steve Kerr joining the Warriors is a sign and a turning point in the history of the NBA.
Prior to this, Steve Kerr was not that great, and the Golden State Warriors were not an important player in the league. Although most teams in the league are trying to change, their style of play is still between traditional and new.
But after Cole joined the Warriors, everything will change. In the future, the league will undergo radical changes from the game style to the layout.
The boundary between the future and the present is so blurred.
Link shook his head, and did not continue to think about the messy things.
At the moment, what he has to consider is not the future and the future, but the San Antonio Spurs.
A few days ago, after the game moved to San Antonio, the Spurs did make a tough resistance. They regained their rhythm at home just like the 07-08 season.
On May 25th, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs finally made it back 107 to 102, turning the series' total score to 2-1.
And this became the first time the Grizzlies lost a month after the playoffs began.
At the same time, gdp finally won their 111th playoff victory, becoming the trio with the most wins in the playoffs in NBA history.
But after the game, Popovich was not as happy as people thought. Because of the victory in this game, it was too late.
In Popovich’s plan, the Spurs should have won the victory two games before. But it is too late to win this victory after the series has reached San Antonio.
In this game, Tony Parker broke out at the last moment when his shooting percentage fell below 30 in the first three quarters.
He made a sudden jump, and even hit a difficult three-pointer on Link's head.
Relying on Parker’s magical scoring performance at the last moment, the Spurs were lucky enough to pass.
But except for the few minutes when Parker broke out in the final stage, the Spurs have been suppressed for the entire game, just like the previous few games.
Popovich knew very well that he couldn't expect Parker to explode every day, just as he couldn't expect Green to explode every day.
This time they won by Parker’s burst. What about the next game? What about the next one?
There are always times when the Spurs cannot break out, and at that time, the Spurs are often powerless against the Grizzlies.
What’s more terrible is that now the Grizzlies can win match points as long as they win another game! Therefore, the Spurs' victory is too late.
Popovich who won the game was particularly upset, let alone Link who lost the game.
Although the Grizzlies currently lead with a total score of 2-1, Link still feels insecure. Therefore, he did not have the mind to think about the impact Cole might have. Now, Link only has the Spurs in his mind.
Sure enough, in the fourth game of the series, Popovich’s most worried thing came.
At the center of att, the Spurs lost the magical aura of the first two games. Under the Grizzlies' rapid and unlimited defense system, the Spurs' offense collapsed across the board.
Under such circumstances, the Spurs have neither the magical Danny Green nor the "French sports car" that suddenly awakened in the last few minutes.
Tony Parker scored only 14 points in the game today, Kavai Leonard 10 points, "Stone Buddha" Duncan only scored 9 points, and Danny Green was the starter with the fewest points. He only scored 3 points today. "Coffee Master" Dior came off the bench with 14 points and 10 rebounds, Corey Joseph 11 points and Manu Ginobili 5 points.
Team offense and individual offense, the Spurs both overturned today. This caused the Spurs to fall behind the Grizzlies by 27 points when they were the most. In the middle of the fourth quarter, they dropped all their main players early.
If it's just the Spurs' personal offensive disadvantage, they won't be beaten so badly.
The key is that in addition to the poor performance of the Spurs themselves, Link also showed his best offensive performance since the Western Conference Finals!
The loss of the last game reminded Link that this Spurs was the 2014 nba championship in the original history. As long as they are given a chance, they can all turn the tide.
So in the fourth game, Link played extremely hard and his desire to score was higher than in the first three games.
Although Leonard defended very hard, Link still used his comprehensive offensive skills in exchange for scoring.
Leonard can prevent James from killing James in the original history. To put it bluntly, he can rely on one move to keep his shots. But for Link, this trick has no effect.
Linke is a top player in the league whether he is casting or abrupt. In this way, Leonard won't have much advantage on the defensive end.
This prospective fvp wants to be completely famous in the league, it is estimated that it will be a while later than in the original history.
In the end, Link scored 40 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds and up to 5 steals in the game! This is the second time Link has scored 40+ points in the playoffs this year after playing the Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals on May 8.
Although it's not the earth-shattering 40-point triple-double like last time, the data is still exaggerated. At the same time, this is also the fourth time in his career that Link has scored 40+ points in the playoffs.
For comparison, Kobe has scored more than 40 points in the playoffs 13 times in his career so far. Calculated at the average rate of one game per season, it is not difficult for Link to surpass Kobe.
In the garbage time, the Spurs recovered a lot of points. But in the end, the Grizzlies won the crucial fourth game 105 to 92.
At first glance, the 13-point difference does not seem to be particularly exaggerated. But in fact, the Spurs chased for a long time before they narrowed the difference to 13 points.
It can be seen how there is no suspense in this game.
3 to 1, the San Antonio Spurs have basically missed the finals. This is the end of this aging team's playoff journey.
Popovic is not as frustrated as before when facing reporters now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is not because he has found a way to deal with the Grizzlies, but because he is numb to lose!
He has thoroughly recognized the gap between the Spurs and the Grizzlies.
"Of course we will not give up, but this is indeed a difficult series. I think even in the finals, the Grizzlies will not encounter opponents."
Popovich smiled helplessly. He thinks he and the Spurs are capable of competing for the championship this year. If the Spurs are facing the Heat or the Pacers now, Popovich thinks they can win.
But unfortunately, they happened to run into perhaps one of the most powerful teams in NBA history.
Duncan silently looked at Link on the court and shook his head secretly.
He still remembers that he once said "the future is yours" to Link after a game many years ago.
But he never thought at the time that the future will come so fast
Maybe the future is not coming too fast, but you are getting old too fast.
Duncan didn't think much, he walked back to the player channel silently.
Next, throw all these worries to the Heat and the Pacers.
The era of gdp has officially ended! That 111th victory was their final commendation and comfort.
