Chapter 230 Popovich's Plan
"Let's congratulate the Mavs on their first win of the series."
"The best player in tonight's game is Li Xuan, who overwhelmed Nowitzki and Duncan. He caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs on both offense and defense, and is the key to victory."
"Yes, Xiao Li's performance tonight is indeed worthy of the regular season awards he won before. He slapped those doubters in the face and proved his strength. I hope Xiao Li can perform like this in the next game."
"My audience friends in front of the TV, this game is over, see you in the next game!"
In the commentary hall of the sports channel, Director Zhang and Director Xu are summing up after the game.
At the same time, the big screen displayed the best player of the game, without any suspense, Li Xuan won this honor.
在他上场的42分钟时间内，投篮21投13中，其中三分球8投4中，罚球3罚3中，得到33分10篮板2助攻3抢断4盖帽的全面数据。
The other players of the Mavericks performed very well, with three scoring in double figures.
诺维斯基投篮17投9中，其中三分球1投1中，罚球4罚4中，砍下23分8篮板4助攻的全面数据。
Nash scored a double-double of 11 points and 13 assists; Finley scored 15 points and 3 rebounds.
马刺队表现最出色的球员为邓肯，在出场的43分钟内，投篮17投9中，罚球6罚4中，砍下22分13篮板4助攻2盖帽的数据。
吉诺比利投篮18投10中，其中三分球9投5中，罚球2罚2中，砍下27分2篮板3助攻的数据。
Parker scored 10 points and 7 assists.
In this game, GDP logically performed at a normal level, but failed to win the game. The next game will be very difficult.
On the Spurs bench, Popovich frowned, looking at the Mavericks No. 10 player who was smiling and celebrating the victory with his teammates.
If it weren't for this guy, how could the Spurs lose.
Li Xuan must be dealt with in order to win the Mavericks!
This guy brought too much improvement to the Mavericks' defensive system.
So how to solve Li Xuan?
The last time Bowen had black feet, he was lying in the hospital for a week.
If Li Xuan is black-handed again, it may not have any effect.
So what about playing tricks on his teammates?
The Spurs were able to easily win the Western Conference finals last year, mainly because the German was injured.
The more Popovich thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and he couldn't help showing a sinister smile. In order to win, he would do whatever it takes.
This time, he wanted to discuss the "Disabled People" plan with Bowen and Horry.
On the other side, after celebrating the victory, Li Xuan and others walked towards the player channel one after another.
When Li Xuan walked to the sidelines, the media reporters who had been waiting for a long time swarmed and surrounded him.
"Li, you played very well in this game. You posed a huge threat to the Spurs on both ends of the offense and defense. Did you respond to the people who questioned you before your outburst tonight?" the reporter asked.
"I don't have so much energy to take care of those cats and dogs. I just try my best to help the team win. If the team can win easily, I am very willing to stay on the bench." Li Xuan replied.
"You are the key to winning this game. The Spurs will definitely target you in the next game. Are you ready for the challenge?" the reporter asked again.
"I'm not afraid of any challenge, and I can still do my job well in the next game." Li Xuan replied truthfully.
As far as his performance in this game is concerned, any fool knows that the Spurs will focus on taking care of him in the next game.
Since it cannot be changed, it is better to be arrogant and put some pressure on the Spurs.
Afterwards, Li Xuan answered a few more irrelevant questions, and the post-match interview was coming to an end.
After the interview, Li Xuan squeezed through the crowd, entered the player tunnel, and returned to the locker room to join the team.
On the other side, Spurs star Deng Daidai was also surrounded by a group of reporters.
"Tim, after losing this game, will it affect the next game of the Spurs?"
"No!" Duncan responded with a blank face, cherishing words like gold.
For Duncan's answer, media reporters were very speechless.
They thought it was a huge mistake to come here to interview Deng Daidai.
Now they can only finish the interview with Duncan with tears in their eyes.
"Then how do you evaluate Li's performance tonight?"
"Lee played really well tonight, his defense hurt us a lot, reminded me of Kevin Garnett, it's a very bad thing, we'll fix that next game. "
Duncan didn't spare his words this time, and expressed his views on Li Xuan.
After answering, Duncan squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the player tunnel.
So far, the first game of the cattle and horse war has come to an end.
……
……
The next day, after the Spurs finished their daily practice, Popovich told the players to break free and asked Bowen and Horry to come to his office.
"Bruce, why do you think Pop wants us?" Horry asked curiously.
"You can't think of such a simple thing. Pop must have something important to explain."
Bowen emphasized the word "important".
He has done this kind of thing so many times, and every time he has to go to Popovich to learn more.
After hearing this, Horry immediately understood what Bowen meant.
Although the means are too despicable, as long as you win.
In competitive sports, winning can overshadow everything.
Not long after, Bowen and Horry knocked on the door and entered the head coach's office.
When Popovich saw his two generals coming, he took the lead and said, "Do you know why I came here?"
"I know." Bowen and Horry replied in unison.
Popovich showed a fox-like smile, very satisfied with the attitude of the two.
Immediately, he discussed the plan with Bowen and Horry.
"Next game, I want you two to use small tricks to annoy that rookie all the time, you know what I mean?"
"understand!"
Bowen and Horry nodded and answered.
Isn't this just letting them have a conflict with Li Xuan!
As for why Li Xuan was not abolished, Bao Wen knew very well in his heart that it was because there was no chance to strike, and even if he found an opportunity, he might not succeed.
He had this idea in the previous game, but he didn't get any chance, that kid was too cunning.
"If this method doesn't work, you implement a plan for the other two core players of the Mavericks." Popovich added.
Bowen and Horry's eyes brightened, and they thought this method was good.
Since it didn't work against Li Xuan, it would have similar effects against other Mavericks core players.
Subsequently, Popovich discussed some details of the plan with Bowen and Horry.
A conspiracy against Li Xuan and the Mavericks is quietly plotting.
