The Basketball Court Swordsman

In Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, the San Antonio Spurs, who were promoted by sweeps in the first two rounds, are hopeful that this season will hit the championship San Antonio Spurs again. In the end, in Oklahoma, they lost to the young "Third Thunder" with a score of 99 to 107.

The failure of this game also meant that the Spurs' championship dream was completely broken. With a total score of 4 to 2, the experienced Spurs ultimately failed to withstand the youth storm in Oklahoma City.

But...are the San Antonio Spurs really just losing to the youth storm?

After the game, San Antonio's iconic figure, "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan, one of the league's greatest power forwards, was interviewed by reporters in the player channel.

Who is Duncan? Regardless of the well-known personal honor and strong strength, this guy is the most talked about, low-key and restrained character. His "facial paralysis" expression for decades, and occasionally a smile can scare the referee to give him a technical foul...This is why Leonard is often considered similar to Duncan.

There is almost no off-court news, a super striker who is usually silent. Today in the player channel, he did something that he had never done in 15 years before-complaining about the referee's whistleblowing scale.

"Obviously this is disappointing, but Oklahoma can get all the praise. We played very well in the first quarter and we controlled the game. They continued to fight and returned to the game. Their talents are impressive. Profound. I don’t think we lacked hard work. I think we have done everything we should do, but they are a better team.” At the beginning, Duncan’s speech was very “official”, but “Stone Buddha” said I may not know a Chinese idiom called ritual before soldiers.

After praising the performance of the Thunder and accepting the result of the Spurs being eliminated, Duncan, who had finished the "ceremony", started to "deploy troops." Changed their momentum. We did a very tough defense and tried to stop them, but the whistle kept ringing and they went to the free throw line again and again. This is really disappointing, I think this is our return to the Finals and Another chance for a championship is our ultimate goal, but it is clear that we are ended here."

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

But the reporter was stunned by Duncan's remarks, because he may be the first reporter in the world to hear Duncan publicly complaining about the referee! But from another level, it can be seen that Duncan can't help but complain, how serious the league's partiality to the Oklahoma City Thunder is!

Are the San Antonio Spurs really just defeating the youth storm? Duncan has already given his answer.

After Duncan returned to the locker room, he found that Popovich was losing his temper. Unlike Duncan, Popovich never knew what to call convergence and low-key. Although his Spurs are low-key, he is not at all.

Publicly cursing the referee, publicly speaking out in front of reporters and the media, publicly antagonizing the league, and taking turns to rest 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.

"Go to the **** league, this whistle blows us to death! They don't want to do any playoffs at all, just let the two most eye-catching teams advance!"

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

"Okay, Pop. Don't make such a fire, it's bad for your health." Duncan was the only player who dared to step up to pat Popovich on the shoulder when he lost his temper.

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

Just like now, Popovich in the righteous head suddenly failed to remember the name of the big guy in front of him.

"Who are you so!?" Popovich shook Duncan's hand away half-jokingly.

"My name is Tim Duncan, I come from Wake Forest University, and I have been under your hand for 15 years." As everyone knows, Duncan answered this question with a serious face.

Such inexplicable seriousness usually makes the atmosphere very funny. Several Spurs players held back and did not dare to laugh, and in the end, Popovich couldn't hold back. After a few seconds, the old man finally showed a slight smile on his face.

"You bastard, Tim." Popovich shook his head, suddenly realizing that he wasn't that angry. "But I still have to say that the league is really **** good. This is the most important one. The match, they did too much! At the press conference later, I will slam the group of whistling bastards!"

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

"You?" Popovich looked at Duncan in surprise. "Well, maybe your rock has finally opened up. Even the great and taciturn Tim Duncan has spoken, and the face of the Alliance must be unbearable. That group of **** must be gritted with anger now! By the way...not to mention, the **** Henson Joe in the east has not spoken yet..."

Popovich remembered the similar encounters between the Pacers and the Spurs in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals yesterday, and couldn't help but smile.

Looking for the Spurs first and then for the Pacers? David Stern, this time, you can provoke two difficult opponents at the same time!

"I **** his grandma's bear!" At the same time, in Indianapolis. As Popovich expected, Coach Henson Joe is close to running out.

It's just that no one here understood what he was scolding.

"What are you talking nonsense? I tell you, Henson, the game is over and we still have a chance for tie-break. You must not make any extravagances. If you are banned by the league for inappropriate remarks, you can hit them. I am pregnant." 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 the third game of the series, their momentum has been out of control.

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

In the fifth game of the series, the game returned to Indian Presspolis. With the home bonus and badge bonus, the Pacers fans have played an all-people performance, and everyone is in full swing.

However, the Miami Heat also know that their campaign is a last resort, and they are also very hardworking. LeBron James ran into a rampage, and even Leonard, who had strengthened his attributes, could not stop him. Although Wade dragged his knee, he also played his best performance in the series except on the 41st night.

The Heat had hoped to win the game, but the tragedy happened in the third quarter. Chris Bosh's injury retreated, causing the Heat to instantly mess up.

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

There is a big difference between a game with Bosh and a game without Bosh. In the second half, Bosh's inside pinpoint was suddenly gone, Henson seized the Heat's inside line with a fierce hammer, and finally froze by 4 points, creating a miracle of three consecutive victories in the series against the Heat!

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 was dragged to the sixth game, the one that made Henson extremely angry yesterday.

Facing the Heat that lost Bosh, the Pacers clearly have a lot to win. But in the course of the game, Henson was so angry that he was late for a technical foul because of an angry referee.

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

"It looks like they got every possible whistle-blowing opportunity, which really changed their momentum. We made a very tough defense and tried to stop them, but the whistle kept blowing and they went to the free throw line again and again. "Duncan's words really hit Henson's heart.

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 being tough. But as long as the physical contact is slightly intense in yesterday's game, the referee will definitely sound the whistle!

Of course, from a statistical point of view, the number of free throws by the Heat does not seem to be exaggerated. But this is actually because the Pacers have also been blown up by many inexplicable offensive fouls!

The role of the referee is not only reflected in free throws. A penalty for possession of the ball, an offensive foul or not, these have nothing to do with free throws, but they also have a significant impact on the direction of the game. Therefore, just balancing the number of free throws cannot conceal the league's ugly operation of g6.

Henson originally thought he was unlucky enough, but he did not expect that the Spurs were even more unlucky than himself. G6 was disturbed by the league and the Spurs went home directly. For the Pacers, there is still a tie-breaker.

But the league has intervened since g6. Will he let you go in the tiebreaker? So the Pacers are not much better than the Spurs.

"Tie tie!? Tie tie is afraid that my player will graduate with 6 fouls in the first quarter!" Henson waved his hand, saying that Voge's appeasement was invalid.

At this time, the press conference after the Spurs and the Thunder is playing on the TV. Popovich's old man rebuked the league on stage and exhausted all the sharp words. Stern estimated that now Popovich's heart is banned for life.

Henson also wanted to hold a press conference tomorrow, and then like Popovich's anger at the group of capitalists who only know how to count money. But he changed his mind, what's the use?

Now that Popovich has finished cursing what he wanted, then he doesn't have to wade in the muddy water.

Don't the league just want to watch the Thunder VS Heat and 35VS6?

Okay, you won't let me win, and I won't let you do it!

"Frank!"

"What are you doing?"

"Go home early, and get up early to train tomorrow." Henson said, turning off the TV. It seems more enjoyable than cursing the Alliance and not letting them get what they want...
