Chapter 377 If So-and-so Is Still Still
The game between the Jazz and the Suns that night was more exciting than the game between the Warriors and the Spurs.

The Jazz and the Suns are equal to 55. Although the Suns have weak inside defense, the Jazz have no players who can attack the inside. At this stage, Karl Malone basically still focuses on mid-range shots.

Then the sun also has some advantages of its own.

The game went into overtime for both teams.

In the end, the Jazz, who played at home, defeated the Suns 104 to 101 and won the game.

The Jazz with a well-organized lineup struggled to defeat the Suns with a not-so-complete lineup.

This also gave Suns fans hope.

At the same time, Jazz fans also began to think, how competitive is a team like the Jazz in the West?
Obviously the Jazz won, but the reactions of the two teams were completely different. This is the biggest difference between the old team and the young team.

The Suns are not considered the youngest team in the league, but compared to teams like the Jazz, the Suns are still relatively young, including the core players of the Suns are some young people.

Day 2 of Game Day in the NBA playoffs.

The remaining 8 teams in the league also fought against each other.

In the East, the Pacers beat the Bucks 88:85 and the Knicks beat the Raptors 92:88.

The Pacers are the No. [-] team in the East, but the Bucks, who are eighth in the East, are not as easy as imagined.

The prototype of the Bucks' three Musketeers lineup has basically taken shape.

Cassell, Big Dog and Ray Allen.

Although people have been saying that Ray Allen is one of the four major shooting guards in the 96 session, the player whose relative development is lagging behind.

But Ray Allen's performance this season is actually remarkable. In the fourth season of his career, he averaged 4 points, 22.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 3.8%.

Then in this away game against the Pacers, Ray Allen scored 26 points, the highest in the game, and almost led the Bucks to complete a comeback against the Pacers.

In another game between the Knicks and the Raptors, the Raptors, who were on the next gram, almost completed the counter-kill against the Knicks.

It is worth mentioning that Tracy McGrady scored a game-high 25 points in this game, plus 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. If the Raptors hadn't lost, McGrady's debut in the playoffs would have been perfect.

Relatively speaking, his performance in this game was relatively poor when he encountered Carter who was strictly defending.

In his career playoff debut, Carter made 20 of 3 shots and only scored 16 points and 6 assists. He scored a few points with free throws.

In the Western Conference game that day, the Blazers beat the Timberwolves 91:88, and the Lakers beat the Kings 117:107.

.........

The Warriors won the Spurs in an away game, and the entire Warriors team is in full swing.

The Spurs also want to find some solutions, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The team's lineup is not complete, and the core of the team is not there. How to play?
So Spurs coach Popovich also talked about this issue in an interview with the media.

"The rest of us should also adapt to this process. The Warriors have a better foundation. Our other players must put in double effort to defeat this opponent. This is not a small challenge. I hope they can adjust back as soon as possible."

.........

The first game of the first round of the playoffs is over, and all 8 games have had their results.

At the same time, some NBA awards have also begun to be announced.

This is the highlight of a season, the season awards of the regular season.

The top rookies who receive attention are announced first.

This year, the Clippers rookie Hilton Brand and the Rockets' Steve Francis got the same 47.93% of the votes.

两人共享了最佳新秀，这是历史上第3次出现最佳新秀被两人共享的情况，另外两次分别是70-71赛季的杰夫佩特里和戴夫考恩斯以及94-95赛季的贾森基德和格兰特希尔。

At the beginning, Odom was the one with the strongest rookie call.

Odom's first show was indeed very amazing, but later, especially in the second half of the season, Francis suddenly emerged.

Throughout the season, Francis averaged 18 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game, while Elton Brand averaged 20.1 points, 10 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks per game.

The statistics of the two are very good, and it is reasonable to share the best rookie.

With the Rockets at this stage, the fans are very pleased.

The NBA is not afraid of your superstar getting old, what is afraid of is that the team does not have fresh blood to replenish.

And Francis made the Rockets fans see hope. This man, who has a sharp breakthrough like Iverson, is expected to become the future superstar of the Rockets.

The two players announced by the best rookie, the team did not enter the playoffs, and both will wear suits to accept the league's awards.

In the NBA, it is not embarrassing to wear a suit to receive the best rookie, but it is the most embarrassing to wear a suit to receive the MVP.

On the night when the rookie of the year was announced, the Spurs played the second game against the Warriors, still at the Spurs' home court.

The Spurs can only fight with their backs.

There are only three games in the first round. If this game is lost, the Warriors will get the match point, and there are still two home games for the Warriors to play. The Spurs basically have no hope of a comeback.

There are some teams and some players in history who are particularly good at fighting with their backs.

When people can't retreat, they can always explode with more powerful force than you can imagine.

The same is true for the Spurs. In this game, the Spurs gave everything and went all out.

This night of the game.

The Spurs came up and scored two three-pointers in a row, and then David Robinson turned around and shook Grant away from the low post, and completed a swinging dunk on Big Ben's head.

There is a feeling of dreaming back to the top, and it is really the Spurs fans who cried at the scene.

The Spurs came up 8:0 and stopped the Warriors.

After the timeout, the Spurs still feel hot.

Johnson broke through with the help of the pick-and-roll, causing consecutive fouls by the Warriors.

The defense of the Warriors team was tied, and even Qin Fei received a foul in the first quarter.

Fouls are actually very normal, but after fouls, some changes may be formed in the defense.

Even after Qin Fei made a foul, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

The defensive end always seemed a bit restrained, and in order to protect Qin Fei, Carlisle replaced Qin Fei in advance before the end of the first quarter.

The entire Spurs suppressed the Warriors in the first half, leading the Warriors by 61 points 47 to 14.

At the time of the biggest point difference in the first half, it was once stretched to 17 points.

So this is the most puzzling part of the NBA. It seems that the Spurs have no hope, but in the first half of the game they completely suppressed the Warriors.

Qin Fei had no choice. Qin Fei received another foul in the second quarter. Although he did not get into foul trouble, his playing time and some changes on the defensive end were still obvious.

Fans can't feel this, but the players on the court feel it most clearly, including why the Spurs are leading now, and part of it is based on foul factors.

In the third quarter of the game, Qin Fei fully fired, and once again used his personal offense to drive the team's overall offense.

The Spurs' defense in this quarter was also very difficult. This quarter of the game sent Qin Fei to the free throw line frequently.

Qin Fei scored 19 points in this quarter.

Leading the Warriors at the end of the third quarter, 3:77, only 83 points behind the Spurs.

At this time, Qin Fei had already scored 31 points.

The fierce momentum of chasing points made the Spurs fans feel that they were not breathing well.

It was as if there was a scourge chasing them all the time, forcing them to score more points, but the more anxious they were, the more difficult it was to score.

At this moment, they can't wait to play Qin Fei by themselves, but this is the mystery and commonality between Keyboard Man and Spectator, so they can only think about it, if they really play, it will be no different from giving points.

Qin Fei's fouls were well controlled after the end of the third quarter, so Carlisle continued to keep him on the court in the fourth quarter after consulting Qin Fei's opinion.

This posture clearly means that Qin Fei is not going to rest in the fourth quarter.

"Fack..."

David Robinson looked very helpless off the court. This is the difference between young people and old people. It is impossible for him to be like Qin Fei and not rest for a minute in the second half.

The Spurs' score continued to drop, and in the fourth quarter, the Warriors regained some points.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Spurs 106 to 103 and won their second away victory.

Spurs fans were very disappointed.

When they stood up and applauded, the number of people was significantly smaller than the previous round.

"Spurs fans are really entertaining."

“They remind me of a saying that recognizing life for what it is and still loving it is heroism.”

"The same is true for the fans. They know that the team will lose, but they still love the team. This is the cutest person and the most attractive heroism."

Qin Fei said so in an interview.

Spurs fans, after listening to Qin Fei's interview, were very upset, but they also felt that what he said made sense.

But what's the use of being reasonable?
He's the enemy, and the one that keeps the Spurs on the floor.

So the assumption they gave was that if Duncan was still around...

Duncan: ...
