Chapter 1153 [First and second, character failure]
Duncan didn't say much at the post-match press conference.
The Spurs were eliminated, and Duncan was in a very bad mood. This was not a good occasion to officially announce his retirement. The Spurs management has discussed with him and will wait for a press conference for him to hold a retirement press conference one day in July. He will say more thoughts at that time.
When talking about whether Duncan will retire, Guo Xu said a lot and gave Duncan a very high evaluation.
"I think I am the first among the current stars and Tim is the second. He has three championships and won FMVP three times. He is the best power forward in NBA history and has extraordinary leadership skills. I lost to the Spurs twice in the playoffs, which is something other teams have never done."
The reporter asked: "Do you think Duncan is better than Stadamier? You have won six championships together."
"Tim is undoubtedly better in leading the team. Amare is of course very outstanding, but he is not as balanced as Tim's offense and defense." Guo Xu said affirmatively.
Xiao Si will definitely accept this statement. Everyone knows that he is strong in offense and weak in defense. He is likely to retire this summer and has become a defensive black hole.
That night, many media gave Duncan enough respect and focused on him in the news.
There are many things to talk about about Duncan, a master's degree in psychology, a teacher and friend with **Vicci for 20 years, and an old man's shirt that has remained unchanged for thousands of years...
Fans also discussed online and found that Duncan is really the No. 1 power forward in the NBA. Players at this position are like being cursed. There are few big-name stars who are core to win the championship. Duncan has the most three rings.
McHale also has three championship rings, but he is not a superstar. He has played as a substitute for more than half of his 13-year career. He averaged 17.9 points and 7.3 rebounds in his career and won the sixth man for the best 2 times.
"Duncan has been playing well for so many years, with his historically powerful strength, a loyal team and a super good temper, and has been in the Holy City for 19 years without reservation and has won the honor he deserves."
"Some people always say that Garnett is the same level as Duncan. Garnett should retire this year, and Jason has never commented on him."
"Duncan was born at the wrong time. He and LeBron James were the worst suppressed by Jason. If Jason hadn't been so perverted, it would have been James and Duncan who competed for the championship."
"No, the person upstairs is thinking too much. Without Jason, other teams in the Western Conference will compete for the championship and James will compete for the Asian team in the East."
In another series, after the Thunder and the Warriors tied 2-2, the Warriors won two consecutive games and advanced with a total score of 4-2.
Curry returned in the fourth game and the situation was immediately reversed. He was facing Westbrook, whose playoff shooting percentage was always around 40%, but he shot more than 20 goals in each game.
The Thunder are weaker than Guo Xu's overall strength in his previous life, mainly because they do not have Andre Robertson and Steven Adams, and their defense is slightly inferior. Tristan Thompson is very physically intensive and is just a blue-collar insider.
This year, Thompson and Draymond Green had a complete grudge and almost started playing again in the fifth game. Green pushed Thompson's crotch with his knee when he made a layup.
During the entire series, Green maliciously attacked his opponent four times, and President Xiao Hua turned a blind eye and only suspended that game. No one can stop Green's foul and the NBA's ratings from going to a trough.
What NBA needs most now is not a superstar like Guo Xu, but a change to a president and then the reform breeze blows all over the ground.
Online fans discussed that some people said that it was a miracle that Green only banned one game, and that the entire playoffs were banned. Some people said that Green was his eunuch and wanted to turn everyone into eunuchs after he became his own eunuch.
After being eliminated, Thompson and Green continued to quarrel online and made an open fight.
Guo Xu felt that this was fate, and the two were mortal enemies in parallel worlds. In 2018, Green joked about James in a nightclub, saying that after he left, Thompson soon had no balls to play, and he even brought up Khloe Kardashian. Then Green was beaten by Thompson, and now he might be beaten up in advance.
On this day, Guo Xu told his teammates after training: "Play boldly and don't be scared by the depth of the Warriors' lineup. We will definitely advance to the finals, because the Warriors' character has been defeated by Green's mentally retarded."
The young players all laughed. After easily eliminating the Spurs, the confidence of players who played in the playoffs for the first time was improved. They would not be afraid of the Warriors because they beat the Warriors in the regular season.
Tyronlu also arranged a special task for the orc Harrell. "If they play small ball tactics, I will send you to the court against Green. If he moves big or provokes, don't be polite to him."
Tyrone Lu didn't say how rude it was. Harrell had to control this himself. If both of them were sent off in a fight, the Lakers would definitely make a profit. Harrell was just a first-grade rookie.
"I understand, coach." Harrell smiled and showed two rows of white teeth.
Green is now a piece of stinky shit, and he had a conflict with Guo Xu in the regular season. If Greene makes a rough foul in the game, Harrell is ready to directly activate his fist. He thinks this is a shortcut to becoming famous, and he will be a representative of a tough guy in the future.
During the regular season, Harrell elbowed Monroe while grabbing rebounds and was judged to be maliciously fouled. He was not ashamed but proud. The coaching staff knew that he was a restless person.
Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, online public opinion was one-sided toward the Lakers, and most fans hoped that the Lakers would advance. If the Warriors with Green advanced to the finals and won the championship, many people would feel that it was unreasonable.
Losing character will really have an impact on luck. In the parallel world, the Warriors reversed the Thunder in the 2016 Western Conference Finals and eventually became the runner-up in the 73-win total. Although the Cavaliers are in a group, at least the players are not that bad.
The Nets eliminated the Magic 4-1, and their overall strength is significantly stronger than other opponents in the Eastern Conference.
However, the Nets also exposed some weaknesses, mainly because of the lack of three-pointers in the starting lineup. When James, Howard and Wade were on the court together, the offensive distance was near the penalty area, and the positions were obviously overlapping.
Their game is still very ugly and they don't cooperate much. The main tactic is that the players pull James away, Wade takes turns to play singles, and Howard's shots have also decreased.
Mike Brown's adjustment method is to let Wade often play substitutes in the playoffs, and he only plays for 5 or 6 minutes before leaving the court for a break.
Wade was depressed when staying at the Nets and sacrificing a high salary, but he could not see hope for the championship. James likes to say that he is a pseudo-giant, and it is James' credit for winning. Wade takes the blame for losing. He will be sure to leave this summer.
The Eastern Raptors eliminated the Bucks 4-2, with a clear lineup depth and a team that competed with the Nets in the East Finals.
As the star, Lillard's shooting percentage is still not high, and he is not good at defending against Bredsoe. He only has a 37.4% shooting percentage in the series.
Lillard made a crazy blackshot, and his jump shot was basically a "default". His mid-range distance of this year's playoffs was only 27.6%, and his two-pointer shot was 22.2%.
With this shooting, there are still a group of experts who praise Lillard's leadership temperament. I don't know what these people have in mind. Lillard can advance purely because his role players and teammates have a high shooting rate, and because the competition in the Eastern Conference is too weak.
The Bucks only have Paul George and Bredsoe, while Bogut is an ordinary blue-collar worker.
In fact, these experts were arranged by Xiao Hua. No matter what the situation is, if you advance, you will first play a role in the stars. Otherwise, how can you attract fans to the stadium to watch the game? How to increase the ratings? Talking lies with your eyes open, they have to say it.
