Chapter 236 Oakland

The Spurs started their first six-game trip since the All-Star break in Orlando.

Tired, this is the first feeling of all Spurs members.

In just eight or nine days, they flew from the west of the United States to the south, then from the south to the north, and finally from the north to the west.

If you are happy, I will ask you if you are happy. If you go around the United States, you will have to play a fierce game every time you go. You will be exhausted.

The physical reserves of the Spurs determined that they could not take into account the victory and the health of the players, so in the end everyone had to adopt Ginobili's proposal and give up some games. Of the six away games, winning three is enough.

They indeed did the same. After winning in Orlando, the Spurs lost two games in a row, and then won another one. After five away games, they got 5 wins and 2 losses, and they missed the last Golden State away game.

The poor performance of the Spurs should have been when the teams behind were crazily catching up. Who knew that the Clippers suddenly lost the chain after the All-Star Game.

Paul, who won the All-Star MVP, suddenly found that he couldn't lead the team. His teammates seemed to be getting lazy. An All-Star vacation seemed to make the Clippers lose momentum. After the All-Star Game, the Clippers gee four games. With three wins and three losses, it feels like being pulled farther and farther than the distance between the Spurs and the Spurs.

Alas, this can’t be blamed on Paul. The Clippers had an overwhelming 17-game winning streak before the All-Star Game. The league they played in is called a changing situation. Now it’s normal to lack stamina. It was as if the tight bow was suddenly loosened, and it lost its aim immediately.

Not only in the West, but also in the East. The few games after the All-Star break were unsatisfactory. For example, the Heat had a three-game losing streak. It is estimated that the three main players and the coaches did not get enough rest.

Of course, the Spurs have been complained about in the few games they lost, because Popovich's rotation was too obvious, and the main players came down after less than half of the game. The oldest uncle Deng simply gave up. Played less than 10 minutes in several games.It is estimated that only Mr. Bobo dared to do this kind of large-scale release of water in the entire league.

So, if the league doesn't clean up, who will you clean up? Such an aboveboard release of water will affect the ratings. It's no wonder that sometimes the Spurs' games basically don't have any big broadcasts, and those who don't have ratings at all still broadcast a ball.

In these few games, Qin Yan's playing time was also limited. After the All-Star Game, he was the one who had the least rest. The entire All-Stars will be busy.

Although during the match Qin Yan really wanted to tell the old man that I'm fine, if he lets me play, I can still hit ten more.But in line with the choice of treating everyone equally, the old man still insisted on letting him sit on the bench.

So Qin Yan is also very helpless, he can only watch the team lose the game that he was forced to give up on the bench.

However, Qin Yan will not feel any dissatisfaction because of this. He knows that for the Spurs, who still have two wounded players who have not returned, there really cannot be any mistakes. Otherwise, the whole team will easily fall into a wave of injuries. In the strange circle.

This is a strategic abandonment. It can only be said that the league has indeed manipulated the schedule in order to suppress the Spurs.

After finally finishing the first five games of their six-game streak, the Spurs are about to fly to Oakland, California, the last stop of this expedition.

Oakland?Many people may not know what this place is, because in the NBA's "city name + team name" naming method, there is no such-and-such team in Oakland.

Don't worry, just put it another way. The team that was supposed to be called Oakland so-and-so is now called the Golden State Warriors. Everyone should have heard of it by now.

Yes, the Golden State Warriors, although their place name is Golden State, but their specific city is Oakland.Many fans must have fainted when they heard the news for the first time, what the hell?Golden State Warriors in Oakland?Where is this place?What about Golden State?

Haha, actually Americans don’t have this concern, because Golden State is just another name, this place also has a name called California, that’s right, the California in the sunshine of California, one of the most important states in the southwestern United States——California California.

California, also known as California, Golden State, why is it famous, because there are many important cities here, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco (these two are really not the same place, many people are confused), Berkeley, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, etc., among which Sacramento is the capital of California.

It should be clear now that there are 4 NBA-level teams here, the Lakers Clippers in Los Angeles, the Warriors in Oakland, and the Kings in Sacramento, but the Warriors have never been called the Oakland Warriors.

It was originally established in Philadelphia, when it was called the Philadelphia Warriors, to commemorate those who died in the American Revolutionary War.Later, after moving to California, because of the gold rush in California, the title of Golden State was given, so the team also changed its name to Golden State Warriors, expressing a kind of inheritance of the original culture and history.

Qin Yan believes that he is not the only one. If he doesn’t know this history, his first reaction when he hears about the Golden State Warriors is whether the team is in San Francisco or other places. Anyway, he would never think of Oakland.

In Qin Yan's memory, the Warriors would not officially rise until two years later. As Curry ushered in a new era of three-pointers in the NBA, the Warriors led the small-ball style and changed the entire league's style of play.

Of course, when Qin Yan crossed, the Warriors and Spurs officially became enemies because of their unhappiness in the 2017 Western Conference Finals.

Qin Yan looked at Xiaoka who was sleeping beside him. Who would have thought that this taciturn young man in his previous life would be injured in a very dangerous way in Oakland in the first game of the Western Conference Finals in the first year after Duncan took over the baton. It's over.

But this time, because of his appearance, Xiaoka will never be hurt like that again.

Of course, the 12-year-old Warriors are not that good. Curry’s three-point skills have not been upgraded to the full level, and Thompson is still a rookie. The team is still in charge. Many people say that it is for Curry's superior position, but the current Curry is not good enough, he is just a player who has recovered from injuries, and he is far from the arrogant "Kuritian" later.And Bogut, who just came from the Bucks, and David Lee, who came from New York, both of them have the intention of robbing the boss, especially David Lee, this double-double machine has always been quite the boss, and he also has that ability .

Qin Yan attaches great importance to this game, because if there are no accidents, Oakland will still become the biggest trouble for the Spurs in the future, so let's experience it first, and kill him while he is sick!
