"Great, so whose ability should we rely on to attack?"
"I can fulfill my duties on both ends of the court, rember? That’s how we beat the Lakers last season."
"Yeah, you’re a superstar, you’re the savior. But even a savior can’t be tasked with both offense and defense for at least four consecutive gas! Last season, I assigned you a similar role, having you lead the attack and assist in defense, and we crushed the Los Angeles Lakers, leaving Karl Malone without a championship. But that can only last one ga, and you know how exhausting it is!"
You can’t play like this in the Western Conference Finals Ga 2, giving it all just to win one G2 ga is aningless."
Precisely because of many years of cooperation and precisely because of the harmonious personal relationship, Spoelstra wasn’t afraid to argue with Roger.
Roger didn’t respond, finding it hard to refute this young coach, who was handpicked by both himself and Hubie Brown.
Both parties were silent for a while, and finally, Spoelstra tidied his ssy hair: "I’ll let you match up with Kobe for two minutes each quarter."
"At least three minutes."
"Enough, do you think you and Kobe are in love on the court or sothing?"
"Erik, I really don’t know how soone who doesn’t understand taphors like you managed to date so many cheerleaders."
"They appreciate my looks."
"Then I don’t understand even more, feeling a bit hungry, let’s grab dinner together."
"Your treat."
"Of course, Shaq gave my money back, so whatever you want to eat, I’ll treat you."
"What?"
"Don’t be so surprised, it’s his owed repaynt, no one in this world can owe the savior money."
On the other side, after training, Matt Barnes didn’t go ho.
As an unabashed bad boy, he did sothing quite contrary every day—he drove to accompany his mother, who had been diagnosed with kidney cancer a year ago.
During their chat, Matt Barnes talked about everything that happened today.
"I don’t know if there’s still a spot for in the next ga, Roger already gave an ultimatum. I originally thought I would stay with the Warriors for a long ti, I originally thought I would secure a guaranteed contract. But Roger seems to have lost patience as well. Can’t bla him, it’s my own fault, my progress is too slow. I just can’t score efficiently, just can’t shut Mike’s mouth, damn it!"
Seeing this rebellious kid feeling dejected, An Barnes didn’t comfort him, but instead, got very angry: "Matt, get back to your team!"
"Mom?"
"I taught you gratitude from a young age, but is this how you repay Coach Erik and Roger? You can’t think only about yourself! You can’t only care about scoring in front of Mike! Your team is trailing 0-1, Roger and Coach Erik need you, now is the ti for you to step up!
Who has been paying fines for your immature behavior this season?
After what happened last night, who stood up for you in public, saying it wouldn’t affect your playing ti?
They’ve constantly been supporting you, and when they need help, this is how you approach the ga? Thinking about how many points you can score over Mike’s head?
Rember when Daniel (Barnes’ sister) was 15, and soone spat in her hair? What did you do about it?"
Barnes was dumbfounded by his mom’s yelling, honestly replied: "I... beat the guy who spat on her almost to hell."
"Now you need to do the sa! Treat this team that treats you like family as your own family, protect them, shield them, and give everything for this big family! Matt, don’t let down!"
The next day, Western Conference Finals Ga 2 continued in Mission Bay.
Before the ga started, the live cara gave a shot of Lakers’ number 15 warming up on the court.
The on-site comntator Al Michaels started working with the cara to hype up the ga.
"Last season, the Lakers dragged the Warriors into a Ga 7, being one of the few teams to push Roger into a Ga 7 in a series.
Although the Lakers suffered a heavy loss under Roger’s crazy performance of leading both the attack and the defense, that Ga 7 beca one of the highlights of Roger’s career. But in any case, the Lakers indeed pushed the Warriors to the edge of the cliff.
So, starting last season, Kobe Bryant has been Roger’s biggest rival.
This season, he’s taken it a step further, changing his jersey number to 15, his average points per ga are only 0.4 less than Roger’s, and his Lakers have a better record than the Warriors, leading 1-0 in the playoffs.
Everything he’s done is for one goal, to beat Roger.
If Kobe Bryant wins again tonight, he’ll complete 50% of his goal.
We almost don’t need to worry about his condition because he knows, the job isn’t finished yet."
At this mont, the Warriors’ players also ca out to warm up.
Shawn Marion took the initiative to greet his forr leader Roger: "How’s the cold?"
"Recovered."
"I don’t know if this is good news or bad news for us."
"Shawn, you know I love you, but from the mont I step onto the court, you won’t be getting any good news."
That’s what he said, but the situation was still severe for the Warriors.
Today, Roger still didn’t speak to Matt Barnes, and Matt Barnes didn’t show anything either.
Erik Spoelstra didn’t know what Barnes’ condition was.
The ga soon started, and the Warriors’ double-team strategy worked on the first possession.
Kobe got double-tead by Roger and Tayshaun Prince just after crossing half court, and he passed the ball to Nash to handle.
