Chapter 549: Is There Any Hope of Turning Things Around?

In the post-game press conference, the victor Suns did not get the favor of the media, but the Spurs got a lot of questions.

"Mr. Popovich, the Spurs are about to be swept, what do you most want to say now?" A local reporter asked with some complaints.

"The Spurs won't be allowed to be swept, neither will I, and neither will Tim." Popovich replied bluntly.

"Is there any hope of a comeback?" The reporter immediately asked.

The reporter's questioning took a 180-degree turn, which made Popovich a little uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Anything is possible, the sun is not invincible."

"In the history of the league, there has never been a comeback from a 0-3 deficit. Are you sure it is possible?" The reporter asked again.

"Next."

Popovich glared at the host, what the hell are you asking him to ask? He is not with us.

A reporter changed to ask a question. This is from FOX. He asked: "Greg, in terms of the use of Duncan, both Barkley and Smith think it is your problem. You used Duncan by mistake. Do you agree with this point of view? ?”

"Then tell me, who will deal with him? Who will? Who?" Popovich was angry. Is this picking on him? He roared angrily in a low voice.

"Then in terms of team lineup construction, do you think you are responsible? I mean inside." The reporter asked again.

"Rasu got hurt no one would have thought..." Popovich said.

"Let me remind you that Rasu is only a role player, and he was not injured last season, and the Spurs were also eliminated by the Suns."

The reporter interrupted Popovich.

"You?" Popovich stared at the reporter and said, "Do you think we are the Lakers? We can trade whoever we want? We can exceed the luxury line if we want to exceed the luxury money..."

The reporter interrupted Popovich again, and he said: "But the Suns haven't even reached the salary cap this year, and they still have a few million in useless space."

Popovich got angry and blurted out angrily: "That's their luck. They found a historical-level super insider with a basic salary. Where do you want me to get the next one?"

The results of the G3 game in the Western Conference finals, the assessment of the strength of the Spurs and the Suns, and the prediction of the G4 game in the Western Conference finals became the focus of media reports on the second day.

The league's prominent stars, whether they are active or retired, have expressed their views on the G4 game in the Western Conference Finals.

Jordan said: "To be honest, I was shocked. The Spurs are a very strong team with both offense and defense. Tim is also a superstar with both offense and defense and stable performance. But now they are behind zero to three. It also feels like a dream.

In fact, I have some opinions on Popovich's use of Tim Duncan. He should not be regarded as a blue collar. In fact, we saw in the G3 game that Duncan's restrictions on the hammer were not in place. On the contrary, his own offensive and defensive capabilities were not brought into play.

For the Suns, I can only say, as coach Popovich said, you are lucky.

For the Hammer, I don't think it takes time and those honors to prove that he is now a superstar.

With his 11 5*5s and 3 quadruple-doubles, he deserves to be a superstar. "

Dameng said to the media: "I was surprised by the zero to three in the Western Conference Finals, but it was not too surprising, because the Hammer is too versatile. In terms of all-around, he surpassed everyone.

I agree with Jordan, he is now a superstar. Moreover, in the future, based on these almighty data, he definitely has a place in the Hall of Fame, and no one can exclude him. "

Heat general manager Pat Riley told the media: "I'm not surprised at all, even if the Spurs are swept in tomorrow's G4 game, I think this is a reflection of the true strength of the Suns and Spurs.

In fact, the Suns were qualified to reach the top of the league last season, but unfortunately the team still has some flaws.

And this season, they have established a defensive system and made a comeback, blooming their brilliance, which is a matter of course.

Regarding the use of Duncan, Greg has no other way, because he has no one in his hands, and he can't be blamed for this, he tried his best. "

That night, the G3 game of the Eastern Conference Finals started. In the end, the Pistons defeated the Knicks and led by a big score of 2 to 1.

The Knicks were once again defeated by the Pistons, and the adaptability of the run-and-gun style of play in the playoffs has also been continuously questioned.

"Our lineup is not complete. I believe this is a start. If we have three All-Stars like the Suns, we can also sweep the Pistons, but unfortunately we only have one." D'Antoni said after the game.

His words caused many media to discuss a question-is the Suns strong because of the hammer? Or because it has three All-Stars?

Craig Sager, who used to target Lee Ba, said in his ESPN column:

"There is no doubt that once the Suns lose Marbury and Marion, they will fall out of the playoffs.

Look at Marbury's average data, 28+10, Marion is 25+8, without them, that pest has no ability to bring the Suns into the playoffs, leaving Marbury and Marion, He is a blue collar.

I want to warn the Suns, you have the biggest bad contract in the league, and if you trade him early, there is still some value in him. "

Bill Duffy called Colangelo after seeing Sager's article and asked, "Jerry, has a team contacted you?"

"Of course, I just got off the phone with the Lakers." Colangelo laughed.

"I think Sager took the money, is it the Lakers?" Bill Duffy joked.

"Perhaps, haha!" Colangelo laughed, then he seemed to think of something, and quickly said: "Bill, you don't need to operate anything, we have paid a lot for the hammer."

"Don't worry, Jerry, I know what to do." Duffy laughed.

"I think Yao going to the Lakers is the best choice." Colangelo laughed.

"Jerry, you're right, haha." Duffy laughed.

At this time, at the Lakers headquarters, Kupchak shook his head at Bass Sr. and Phil Jackson, all three of them looked disappointed.

"Go on, find some well-known media and commentators to attack the hammer, what if Colangelo gets dizzy?"

Old Bath said expectantly.

Kupchak smiled wryly. That person is not an ordinary person. He is the founder of the Phoenix sports industry. Isn't he so dizzy?

No matter how the media hype, it will not affect Li Ba, he is picking up girls, trying to hook up with Yuanyuan.

But now that he is famous, the difficulty is very high, and he has nothing to gain except to get the phone.
