One Guard

The San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks are in the Western Conference, Texas, and the Southwest Division. They are both superpowers in the Western Conference.

Dirk of the Mavericks and Duncan of the Spurs are all super power forwards in the league. The Mavericks once had a trident, and the Spurs have GDP. The annual battle between the horse and the bull is extremely exciting and fierce.

The two sides played against each other several times in the regular season, and the two sides also played against each other frequently in the history of the playoffs.

And now, the two teams have also entered a period of alternation between the old and the new. The current Mavericks team is already a team that belongs to Yiyang. The San Antonio Spurs have also bred a super newcomer like Leonard.

The two old rivals will meet again, and still on the battlefield of the Western Conference Finals. Texas fans must be quite excited at this moment. Who would have thought that the Western Conference finals would turn into a Texas Civil War?

The entire Texas was infected by the atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals. Unfortunately, the Houstonians could only watch the other two Texas teams stand on top of the Western Conference, but they failed to even make the playoffs.

San Antonio and Dallas are only more than 300 kilometers apart, and it takes less than a few hours by car. What's more, the Mavericks players also have special planes to pick them up.

The encounter with the Spurs in the Western Conference finals meant that the Mavericks players no longer need to spend a lot of energy on long distance travel. The bad point is that the San Antonio Spurs are definitely one of the worst opponents in the playoffs!

In the past few days, many reporters have been guarded by the gate of the ATT Center. Everyone wants to see what Popovich thinks of the Mavericks opponent. However, Popovich either used a cold joke or just kept silent. Obviously, the old man does not intend to give his teammates any comments before the game. In his opinion, these are meaningless things.

On the Mavericks side, Carlisle also led the players to actively prepare for the game. The San Antonio Spurs are a difficult team. They are united, defensively balanced, and offensively stable. They seem to have little characteristics, but this team does not have much shortcomings.

Don't think that the Spurs advocating team basketball is because of the lack of strength of their stars. Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and young Leonard, these guys are not general. It can even be said that they are all future NBA Hall of Fame members!

Judging from the paper lineup, the Mavericks are far behind the Spurs. But basketball games are never based on the strength of the paper lineup to compare wins and losses. The final result, you have to fight before you know it!

The start of the Western Conference Finals is getting closer and closer, and the players' hearts seem to be getting more and more anxious. This season, the Mavericks and Spurs' performance in the regular season can be said to be 50-50. The two sides win or lose each other, and there is no one who has an absolute overwhelming advantage, and there is no one who is completely defeated.

Because of this, the Mavericks feel anxious. They know how difficult the Spurs team is. The Spurs in the playoffs and the Spurs in the regular season are simply different. This Western Conference Finals is destined to be quite difficult.

The fateful entanglement between the Spurs and the Mavericks is like a dog-blooded eight-point TV series, which has been hyped so few people don't know it.

Since Yiyang is the new MVP, the Mavericks miraculously reached the Western Conference finals this year. Therefore, the popularity of this team is even higher than in previous years.

At the end of training, the Spurs players walked from the training ground to the locker room, and reporters came up along the way to ask them questions about the Mavericks.

Most of them are asking "How do you think the Mavericks are? How likely are they to reach the Finals?"

Some Spurs players can answer this question that has little to do with them. However, there are people who are as grotesque as Popovich, such as Leonard. He always looks at the reporters who put the microphone in front of his mouth with very cold eyes. He looked away and left without saying a word.

In fact, at the beginning, Leonard would also stop to answer reporters' questions. But if the people around you always open their mouths and shut their mouths, come to "How about the Mavericks" and "How about Yiyang". When people ask such questions too many, there will always be a feeling of being underestimated. Is there any mistake? We are the team with a higher ranking in the regular season and a stronger lineup on paper!

Seeing the players' distress, Popovich also shook his head helplessly. There is no way, the Chinese in the Mavericks team is really eye-catching. Everyone was watching him, watching which superstar he would cut off his horse next. But if the reporter's stalking affects the player's mentality, Popovich can't accept it.

Popovich himself does not hate the Mavericks, nor does he hate Yiyang. After all, Yiyang also came to the Spurs to try out. He admired the talent of that guy very much. But in order to keep the ears of himself and the players quieter, Popovich took the initiative to rush to the reporter today and pointed in the direction of the gate of the ATT Center.

"You have to pay attention to the Mavericks, please go to Dallas. This is San Antonio, not the American Airlines Center Arena. Here, we only accept questions related to the Spurs. Dallas Mavericks? Sorry, my team and I will not accept it. Any kind of interview with any media related to the Mavericks."

Popovich tried his best to protect his players from reporters' interference. It can be seen from this that, in fact, the old man is also very afraid of the Mavericks.

The Spurs and Mavericks, neither of these two teams wants to meet anyone. But there is no way, now only these two teams are left in the West. When we meet on a narrow road, a battle is inevitable in the end!

Duncan and Dirk, Carlisle and Popovich, and Yiyang and Leonard. This is a series full of highlights, and at the same time, it is also the most brutal series.

※※※

It was light rain at three o'clock in the afternoon on May 19th, US time. The San Antonio Riverwalk is not as lively as usual due to the weather, but the sparse pedestrians and wet stone roads still make the Riverwalk special.

Yiyang remembered that almost half a year ago, on Christmas Eve, he also came here to play away games with the team. Originally, San Antonio people gave that game as a Christmas gift to themselves. Unexpectedly, the Mavericks led by Yiyang took away the victory without giving face, destroying the Christmas atmosphere of San Antonio fans.

Since then, Yiyang has been added to the "blacklist" by Spurs fans. This has been reflected since Yiyang got off the bus.

"I'm at the entrance of the ATT Center now! Although the sky is drizzling, it did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the fans. Due to the close proximity of the two cities of San Antonio and Dallas, many Mavericks fans also appeared on the road today, preparing to Cheer for your team~www.novelmtl.com~ Have you seen the long queue at the ticket gate? For the people of San Antonio, today is simply a great holiday!" The ESPN beauty reporter wore a raincoat and covered the crowd. Suddenly, the crowd of fans burst into violent boos.

The photographer and female reporter pushed aside the crowd and rushed to the place with the most boos. Only then did I discover that it was Yiyang who had appeared!

Yiyang turned a deaf ear to the abuse of Spurs fans. Being hated by others on the road is actually a very successful thing. They are afraid of you winning, so they hate you!

"It seems that I am already an old acquaintance of San Antonio." Seeing that Yiyang's next car was booed so badly by the fans, Stevens, who ran to San Antonio to watch the Yiyang game, couldn't help taking out a mobile phone video.

Usually, only phenomenal players can cause such a sensation. Hayward and Spurs fans stood next to him, and at most a few people would come forward to ask for autographs. If Yiyang and Spurs fans stand together, Stevens believes that Yiyang may not survive for ten minutes.

"The Spurs did not take much advantage of the Mavericks in the regular season this year. I think this series may be inextricably played." Looking at the surging crowd, Hayward was also very enthusiastic about the playoffs. The stage is full of yearning.

"This series is really going to be very difficult. No matter what the final result is, you can play against the Spurs in the playoffs. After this series, it will definitely become very different. Because you can only change when you play against a stronger enemy. Stronger."

People are concerned about the Mavericks and Spurs winning or losing, and Stevens is thinking about what progress Yiyang can make.

The result is important, but the process of this series is more worthy of savoring.

Enjoy this powerful opponent, also. San Antonio can bring you more than just boos.
