Chapter 355 The wicked have their own grind
Zhao Ke scored three three-pointers in a row!
But the San Antonio Spurs are still dull here, you vote as you like, and the breeze blows the hills.
This momentum is not right!
The Charlotte Bobcats are now leading 3:1 and holding the match point. Shouldn't the Spurs be in a hurry?
You know, the Bobcats can still play two games now, but the Spurs have reached a life-threatening moment.
If the game is lost, the La O'Brien Cup will stay on the sidelines, and the defending champion will have to pack up and leave immediately. It's time to go fishing, repair the car, go back to each house, and find each mother.
But if they win, the Spurs can pack up the Charlotte Bobcats and bring them back to San Antonio, and rub them as they please...
How can you be indifferent?
How can you not be in a hurry?
Don't look at the golden trophy on the sidelines that charms the Bobcats all the time. At the same time, its radiance should also be whipping the Spurs, right?
The defending champion must work hard today!
But the Spurs' demeanor today is a bit weird. Under the habitual bloody silver-black silence, there is a deliberate desperation and grievance?
What happened to castrate the fierceness of the Spurs?
It all starts with ratings.
In the 2000-2001 season, thanks to the combination of the super "answer" and the "OK" in the sweet period, the ratings of the NBA Finals recovered strongly.
But for three consecutive seasons since then, the ratings of the NBA Finals have plummeted like a cliff:
In the 2001-2002 season, the "referee incident" broke out in the finals, and the NBA fell into a crisis of trust, and the ratings plummeted to 8.1.
In the 2002-2003 season, San Antonio's box office poisoned the Spurs VS the Knicks who were piled up by civilians, and "racial discrimination incidents" broke out again, and the ratings of the finals dropped to 5.8.
In the 2003-2004 season, the Spurs and the Pacers were pecking each other at the box office. The ratings of the finals dropped to an unprecedented 4.9. Rus Granik was forced to jump off the building!
This season, the Charlotte Bobcats have been going upstream all the way, and they are in a mess, attracting the attention of a large number of people who eat melons.
When "Lucky Charlotte Black Cat" swept the entire Mi Li family, the ratings of the playoffs also began to pick up.
When it came to the finals, the new Charlotte Bobcats actually carried the banner of the ratings of the NBA Finals, especially in the third game of the finals, when Charlotte's catgirl cheerleading team appeared, the ratings rose to 11.7, creating an absolute peak in the past three years!
When he saw the ratings statistics for the third show, Granik, who was studying the best jumping posture in the office, was stunned. He held the "Lucky Charlotte Black Cat" in his hand and wept with joy...
Charlotte Bobcats really saved "all people" from the fire and water, Boss Qiao is a great savior, Zhao Ke is really a good man!
However, Granik, who had just been brought back to Half-Life by the Charlotte Bobcats, made a horrifying discovery:
In Game [-] of the Finals, the San Antonio Spurs blatantly wanted to abolish Zhao Ke!
Uncle can bear it, but aunt cannot bear it!
It is conceivable that once Zhao Ke is abolished, the Bobcats are reversed, and Charlotte's aura of luck is broken, the ratings of the next few finals will definitely drop so that his mother does not even know him!
Fans are not sitting in front of the TV to see the box office poison in San Antonio, they are to see what the mysterious Bobcats will eventually become!
The black cat can't stay black anymore, what kind of football game do you want to watch, what kind of watch do you want?
Wouldn't it be good to go to the movies, wouldn't it be good to shoot a woman, wouldn't it be good to go drinking?
For ratings!
For the league!
The NBA president must do something, such as eliminate harm for the people!
Ras Granik felt that his sense of justice was overwhelming. After the fourth game, he quickly interviewed the Spurs management including Popovich.
And issued a unilateral ultimatum to the defending champion:
If any Charlotte Bobcats players are injured by the Spurs' flagrant fouls for the rest of the series, the San Antonio Spurs will not have a home whistle for all of the rest of the season.
Ironically, since his predecessor David Stern was ruined for manipulating the game, Las Granik has always taken it as his duty to establish fairness and justice in the NBA since he took office.
But now, what's the difference between what he's doing and what David Stern is doing?
Ass decides thinking!
Maybe if you switch to the Trail Blazers or the Lakers, you can still fight for some unequal treaties.But the owner of the Spurs is the poorest in the NBA and the least powerful.
They could only swallow their anger, and the aggrieved should be aggrieved. The management weighed it over and over again, thinking that it is better to obey the order and thank the Lord for his grace.
After all, it is better to lose a chance to defend the championship than to lose the chance to win forever. The Minnesota Timberwolves are a lesson from the past!
The Spurs were discouraged. Before the game, Popovich uncharacteristically became a pacifist. He repeatedly told the players to pay attention to fouls and resolutely not to cause any harm to the Bobcats players!
The players are at a loss, is this a fake Greg Zhugeweich?
Or is it that Charlotte's cat girl is too enthusiastic, and the old man is not safe at the end of the day, which leads to insanity?
The Spurs play utilitarian basketball. From the "Admiral" era, to the Twin Towers era, and then to the GDP era, the Spurs have always adhered to this philosophy unswervingly.
In their dictionary, malicious fouls are also part of the game and an indispensable basic thinking in San Antonio's tactics.
In this round of the series, Popovich repeatedly emphasized a tactical idea, which is:
During the competition, find an opportunity to "accidentally" send Zhao Ke to the hospital!
Because Popovich believes that the Spurs can't beat the Bobcats with Zhao Ke, but it just so happens that Zhao Ke's current physical fitness cannot protect himself well.
The first two games were okay, until the big score fell behind, Popovich became more and more obsessed with "wasting Zhao Ke"!
The wicked have their own grind, and Granik is the rescuer sent by the monkey to punish the Spurs!
Popovich did not explain the reason for the change to the players. In the Spurs, you can't ask why, otherwise there will naturally be a hair dryer!
But in the end, Popovich implicitly hinted that the management was under pressure from the league.Such "hints" will naturally mislead some players, and the Argentines have always been so "disobedient".
Therefore, after the start of the game, Ginobili continued to implement the tactics of harming Zhao Ke, constantly rushing to Zhao Ke's side to "scare him".
As for whether it was a real scare or a fake show, only the Argentines themselves know.
And Popovich saw it and didn't stop it in time.
This made "upright boy" Tayshaun Prince call it a fluke, he almost told Zhao Ke the "good news" he got before the game!
