Chapter 492: Yunas, who is eager to see through
Updated: 2013-05-21
After losing the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Spurs had already reached the edge of the cliff. Their counterattack after returning to their home court was extremely fierce. It was precisely because it was in San Antonio that the Lakers' momentum was suppressed very low.
After all, it was at home, with more than 10,000 fans cheering enthusiastically. Popovich's Spurs can also play a fierce counterattack with a strong momentum. Even if Jackson is planning on the sidelines, he cannot shake the Spurs' advantages. From the start of the second quarter, the Lakers can only chase the 8-point gap on the court.
The stable style is the rhythm that the Spurs are best at. Even if the Lakers' offense is very fierce, when they meet the San Antonio who is stable, the game will become very difficult once the opponent leads.
The "Zen Master" has fought with Popovich for countless times, so he is very clear about the strength of his opponent. When the Spurs won the sixth game, the old guy was not depressed at all.
"The opponents play better than us, and that's why they win. There is no explanation for failure. You can only win when your performance is better than your opponent. But this is not the end of the day. The Lakers also have home advantage. When the team returns to Staples, everything will become normal."
When dealing with reporters, the wise "Zen master" always has his own way. He can guide those sharp problems into a very peaceful environment, and the old man has never avoided failure.
If you lose, you lose, and there is nothing to criticize. After all, the Lakers lost 4 points to the Spurs by the end of the game. If Fisher and Vujasic had not scored two three-pointers, maybe this game would have been another result, but there is no need to complain now. No matter what, the last showdown was in Los Angeles.
As the Zen Master said, when the team returns to home, everything will become normal. They will not allow every game to be so difficult and their hit rate will be ahead by the opponent.
Staples is their holy land, and the Los Angeles will definitely not let their opponents go wild here, even the Spurs, and Popovich did not smile after winning the sixth game, which is why.
Playing away games in Los Angeles is definitely a difficult task. Even an old guy like Popovich is not sure to win the Lakers in Staples.
In the playoffs, teams with home advantage can always have a certain psychological advantage. Maybe this is a very subtle thing, but you can't deny its existence.
Maybe you are more familiar with the position of the basket than your opponent, or you are more aware of the floor conditions here, maybe you have to consider even the cheers of the fans.
Anyway, if you play a decisive battle of life and death at home, the home team will always have the advantage, especially when the strength gap between the two sides is not obvious, the visiting team that comes from afar will always be disturbed by a lot of things.
The teams trained by Popovich are definitely the hard-core style with a very obvious military aura. The performance of the Spurs is really fierce. Even if they are away, they play very resolutely.
In the area defense, people are fighting to the death. No matter who holds the ball, you must beware of the consequences of being double-teamed at any time. Such crazy defense has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.
Frequent mistakes, low hit rate, and the sequelae of life and death battles are revealed, but the calmness of the "Zen Master" on the sidelines is still affecting the players' performance.
If you hurt the enemy a thousand times, you will be injured by 800 times. Such a tough defense will bring more fouls. Moreover, this is a life-and-death battle in Los Angeles. The referee's standard depends on the mood of the judges in the arena.
If they want to control the intensity of the game, the number of whistles will increase. At this time of the Western Conference Finals, you don’t think about any relaxed environment to take advantage of.
Even Popovich can understand this point. There is no so-called home whistle. Just for the sake of the stability of the scene, the referees dare not take risks. Reducing controversial penalties does not mean that they will relax their standards.
When the score of 88:82 was finally frozen on the scoreboard, two people in the Spurs' GDP combination were already sent off, and the most vicious defense of Uncle Bao San could only play in less than 30 minutes in the whole game.
However, Bynum and Odom from the Lakers also made six fouls. In addition to 38 points, Kobe himself also contributed 5 fouls. No one could escape such a crazy fight.
When the overall situation was settled and yellow paper was falling over the Staples Arena, Popovich and his Spurs could only accept this ending unwillingly.
Seeing that the Lakers won the finals ticket, the champion of last season was finally about to abdicate and give in.
It has nothing to do with the updates, but in this duel, the Los Angeles Lakers laughed to the end.
The decisive battle in the West finally came to an end after seven life-and-death duels. The focus of Los Angeles and Boston was also put into the finals. That confrontation may be more tragic than this moment.
The dust in the Great Western Conference has settled, and there is no impact for the Celtics. Anyway, they will definitely have to wait for an opponent. As for who it is, the Bostonian animals seem to not care.
The first to finalize the ticket to the finals, the impact effect brought by the Boston Celtics was mentioned by many reporters to the incident, and most people still looked at these lunatics with envy, jealousy and hatred.
The Bostonians must be on the side of the team, and they wish these guys could also complete the crazy record of sweeping the opponent in the finals. Of course, this is at most a beautiful idea, and it is not ordinary difficult to implement.
If you want to sweep the Cavaliers like the Spurs last season, you will always find an opponent that is also easy to control. But as the opponent in the finals, the Lakers really want to sweep them, you really need to consider it.
After all, those guys are also the best in the West, and fighting with the Celtics basically doesn't require mobilization to make Los Angeles' adrenaline secrete crazy. Such a final is definitely not easy to play.
Maybe there will be a rare seven life-and-death battle. This kind of thing will be a pleasure for those onlookers, but some people really don't want to see the finals delayed until the seventh game before the winner will be decided.
Of course, this is not a supporter of Boston. He hopes that the Celtics can win the championship sooner, but that some people from the other side of the ocean are a little sad to see Chen Feng, a quasi-main force who has not returned.
Even if the finals are divided into four games, the game will have to be played until June 10th. If it is delayed until Game 7, God, it will definitely be played until June 20th.
Those who watched the game would definitely not be annoyed by this, but Yunas and the Chinese men's basketball team were already anxiously waiting. The first group match of the Olympics was on August 10th, and there was little time left.
If this is really delayed until the seventh game, then the preparation time for the men's basketball team will be only more than a month, but Chen Feng's running-in time with the men's basketball team so far is zero! Yunas can't guarantee that he can run-in now.
Originally, after Yaoming was seriously injured and quit, Yunas was looking for a new core of the men's basketball team. Chen Feng is an alternative who is different from ordinary domestic players. For this reason, the old man is also considering whether he can change his style.
The slow pace of the Chinese men's basketball team should have changed, but all this will have to be decided after Chen Feng returns. At least Yunas needs enough time to polish new tactics.
Originally, it was a taboo to change players in the next round, but yao knew that the state there was not clear, Chen Feng had become Yunas' lifesaver, and he was also a key figure in whether the Chinese men's basketball team could break out of the group stage.
After all, this is fighting at your own doorstep. If the team is really unable to qualify from the group, no matter who it is, even if it is a civilized Olympic slogan, you will not be able to stop the fans from cursing in the stands.
Moreover, those officials in charge of big balls will definitely find scapegoats to take responsibility. Yunas doesn't want to do so many tricks in his last year of advice, let alone the old man really wants to win.
Otherwise, he would not have been watching Chen Feng's current situation. The new system built around that wild boy is taking shape in the old man's mind, but all this has to be feasible for Chen Feng to return.
No matter what tactics you have to verify on the field to understand whether it is easy to use and whether it can be effective in actual combat. But the core of that new tactic cannot be returned at all!
This made Yunas so sad. If it were like the Rockets, would Chen Feng have come back long ago, but the Celtics made it to the finals, and the return date was repeatedly postponed.
God, even Yunas, who has always been calm, is a little anxious now. He really wants the Celtics to fall in the Eastern Conference Finals so that Chen Feng will return home early.
Yao Ming had just returned from injury and had been in trouble for several months. Now his competitive state and physical recovery are unknown. Yunas dared not put the treasure on the little giant.
Originally, seeing Chen Feng's fierce state in the playoffs, domestic fans were going crazy. Uh, Yunas was actually going crazy. The more he hoped that this beast could return earlier, the better the Celtics' record would be. Now he has reached the finals. Can you still expect Chen Feng to give up the finals and come back immediately?
Even if that kid is willing, the Celtics will not let him go! Everyone can see that Chen Feng is now the backbone of the Celtics. With that kid in the inside, he is definitely a very lethal weapon.
The more Junas watches the game, the more he wants to integrate Chen Feng into the Chinese men's basketball team earlier. If such a big guy with extremely destructive power is supported in the inside and will definitely not be difficult to break out from the group stage.
Although they will encounter strong teams such as the United States and Spain in the group stage, Yunas does not intend to break the gap on their opponents. Facing Germany and Angola, the Chinese team is the target to kill.
The five opponents, starting from the strongest teams in the United States and Spain, along the way, as well as Greece and Germany, Angola is basically here to play soy sauce. Even if they lack yao Ming and Chen Feng, they can still win.
But Greece and Germany must win one. If there is no core inside line that is absolutely reliable, Yunas is really not sure. After all, Greece is a top team in Europe.
Moreover, the German team has confirmed that Nowitzki is going to play. If this magical pitcher who can average 25+ per game in the NBA, then the Chinese men's basketball team will likely fail in the group stage.
Although the Germans are only one of the best-known kings, the Chinese team is not optimistic, and it is still unknown whether their injuries can recover. If Chen Feng doesn't come back, then this will be awful.
But now it is basically impossible to rely on administrative orders to get Chen Feng back to the team early. Not to mention that an old guy like Falk is eyeing him, even the Celtics will not let him go.
Especially Chen Feng's own personality is strong enough. Don't think of dealing with such a big guy like he is a good person. If he really has a temper, Yunas would not be sure to be able to control it.
As for those so-called leaders, that's really awesome. That kid doesn't even throw Stein away, can you win?
In fact, after seeing the Olympic grouping, Yunas kept scratching his head. Although this old guy had not much hair, he was almost bald by himself in the past month.
For a livestock that has been unable to return for a long time, this old man is already eager to see...
