In fact, not only the Warriors, but almost all team coaches and general managers will not instruct players to eliminate opposing players.
The NBA is a league where players and coaches move around very frequently. Whether it is players, coaches, or management, if you are on this team now, you may be transferred to another team in two years.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Who dares to do this in today’s society? What you are destroying is other people’s jobs!
If so, in a few years, when the players retire and things change, will any player or staff member of the team tell them "the inside story of what happened that year"? Can you bear it?
Didn’t you see that many retired players and coaches make a living by writing books, and they often break the news about the past?
Even so, how many similar news stories have there been?
Almost none!
What really broke out was that George Karl instructed Iguodala to injure Curry, but nothing else has been heard about it.
In the final analysis, playing in the NBA is a profession, and being a coach is also a profession. Everyone works part-time to make money. There is no need to do that, and it is impossible to destroy others and the guy who makes his own living!
In short, it is a fact that Pachulia's defense caused Kaoru to be injured. Regardless of whether he did it intentionally or not, this action was inappropriate and not a well-intentioned action. But based on the current situation, analyze whether Pachulia did it intentionally
Yes, no one can tell clearly.
The fact is that Pachulia not only injured opponents like Camino, he also injured his teammates.
Deng Fang clearly remembers that later Durant injured his right knee when he was knocked to the ground by Pachulia and was directly absent until the end of the regular season. Curry was also stepped on by Pachulia and missed many games.
!
This can't be intentional, right?
Two core players in the company have been injured, which shows how slow and clumsy Pachulia's movements are, and also indirectly proves that the injury to Xiaoka was most likely an accident.
Of course, the same thing is said. No one knows whether Pachulia did it intentionally or not. No one has evidence. Even Pachulia has no evidence to prove her innocence!
In this case, let's assume that Pachulia did it on purpose - what impact did his kick have? Can it change the ownership of the championship? Did the Spurs really lose a championship because of this?
This is completely obscene!
An important reason why many Spurs fans are sad is this: they believe that Pachulia's kick allowed the Warriors to take away the championship trophy from the Spurs!
Is it really?
If Pachulia had not injured Kawhi, would the Spurs have won the championship this year?
fart!
This is pure fart!
It goes without saying that Parker is injured for the season, or that Ginobili is one year older, not to mention that Duncan has retired. The Spurs are in a period of drought. Even if Parker comes back, Ginobili is one year younger, and Duncan will come back again.
Do the Spurs have a chance to kill the Warriors?
Yes, the probability is quite small!
The reason why I say "yes" is that there are no absolutes in the world, and no matter how bad a team is, it is possible for it to win in an upset.
But, does it mean that it is very likely?
The difference between the two is huge!
It is possible to win 5 million with a 2 yuan lottery ticket, but can you quit your job and prepare to enjoy life just because you bought a 2 yuan lottery ticket?
Isn’t that a disease?!
The Spurs are not weak, but the GDP combination is old after all, Aldridge is not a superstar after all, and Leonard is not yet fully mature. The Spurs' lineup is still far behind the Warriors!
Leonard is great, but the best he can do is compete with Durant, right?
Aldridge is very powerful, but Green and Pachulia can always guard him, right?
Can Mills and Danny Green be more accurate than the Splash Brothers?
Who does the Spurs have to counter Iguodala? The difference between Mills and Curry is not just about who can shoot more accurately, right?
The Spurs are well-trained and highly disciplined. Could it be that the Warriors, who have been to the Finals continuously and have been baptized by the Finals, do not have strong discipline? Are their teamwork not good?
Could it be that the Warriors' regular season championship came with phone bills?
Could it be that the title of Universe Warrior was named by Warriors fans themselves?
impossible!
Although there are no absolutes in the world, if everyone is objective and rational, most people will think that the Warriors have a high probability of defeating the Spurs and advancing to the finals!
Even if the Warriors lose the first game, the final result will not change much - at most it will just allow the Warriors to play one or two more games!
Last year, the Warriors did not have Durant and David West, and the Spurs still had Parker and Ginobili who were one year younger, as well as the old Duncan and the important substitute Diaw. As a result, the Spurs were defeated by the Thunder 4:2.
, and the Warriors eliminated the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals!
Although the strength of the teams cannot be completely compared in this way, a lot of problems can be seen through such a comparison, right?
This year the Warriors have Durant and David West, and the Spurs are missing Duncan, Diaw, and David West. Could it be that the Spurs are stronger and it will be harder for the Warriors to eliminate the Spurs?
Isn’t it sick to think this way?!
Of course, fans always think that their home team has a chance to win. It is understandable to think so, but you can't live by fantasy, right?
Even if the Spurs win the first game of the series, if Spurs fans are allowed to bet their entire fortune before the second game, how many Spurs fans would dare to bet that the Spurs will win this series?
Anyone knows how to make a joke, anyone can give dozens or hundreds of dollars to have fun, how about risking your entire fortune to try it?!
Do you really think that Universe Yong is a vegetarian?
The title of one of the strongest teams in the history of the league (or even one of them) was blown by the strong wind?!
…
Because Deng Fang knew these things in history, he made special arrangements for this game: McGee will start, and as long as Leonard plays, Pachulia will not be played.
Warriors starting lineup: Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, McGee, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson.
In order to verify his ideas, Deng Fang made few arrangements for this game, and the players were completely free to play.
The result was similar to that in history: the Warriors played extremely easily in the first two rounds and paid no attention to this game. They were slapped by the Spurs as soon as they started!
The Spurs were indeed well-trained, well-prepared, played reasonably, and felt good, leading by 25 points before halftime was over.
The Warriors didn't have a chance, but the touch wasn't great, the Spurs pounced very hard, and their outside shooting percentage was very poor.
At halftime, the score became 66:43, and the Warriors trailed by 23 points.
When he returned to the locker room, Deng Fang didn't say anything or drink any chicken soup. Instead, he was discussing something with the assistant coach.
However, Draymond Green was not idle and loudly greeted his teammates: "Cheer up, we still have a chance in this game, this is our home court!"
"Believe me, as long as we defend well and be patient on the offensive end, we will definitely be able to come back!"
