The Spurs' strength is unquestionable, and Bowen was dismissed and Popovich was sent off. The assistant coach temporarily handled the team's affairs.

Under such circumstances, the Spurs played against the Pacers until the end of the fourth quarter before they decided to decide the outcome.

Duncan's six fouls was the key, and Parker scored a game-high 40 points.

The last time I scored 32 points at home, and 40 points away tonight, and averaged 36 points per game in two regular season matches.

"We are not losing technically or tactical."

After the game, everyone on the Spurs seemed not so convinced.

Popovich's agent Messina focused on what happened in the game. When he talked about this loss, there was no emotion on his face. "When we scored, there was sometimes an illusion that we were enough to win the game with offense. In this sense, it was a wonderful night, but I think we exposed a lot of problems in the game. We had to improve our defensive oppression and we had to pay attention to every ball."

He asked the question.

Paying attention to every ball right is actually an hinting that Parker needs to pass more balls.

His speed is indeed an unsolvable problem - for the Pacers.

But the Spurs have more than one Pacers, and they have to consider many things that may happen.

Messina kept silent about a series of unforgettable conflicts between Shehou and Bowen, and focused on complimenting the combination of Shehou and Kirilenko. "When they cooperate, whether it is a pick-and-roll, a shot after pick-and-roll or a single player in the low post, it will cause big trouble for the opponent. Arthur has a good feeling for the game, and he can always play the ball at the right time. For AK, his height and ability are shocking in the game."

Messina did not discuss the conflict, so the reporter had to find the person involved at the press conference.

When the media asked whether Xie Hou's attack on Bao Wen was intentional, he denied it.

"I'm not that kind of person!" He didn't attack Bowen on purpose, there was a reason for his attack on Bowen.

Of course, if he answers according to his heart, he would have done it on purpose in the eyes of others. If he admits this, his image that he has finally managed in recent years will be ruined.

So it must not be admitted.

The reporter was unwilling to be fooled by Xie Hou. They continued to ask: "Some people think that you deliberately pressed your body on Bruce when you landed. What do you think?"

Xie Hou couldn't agree even more. Attacking an injured opponent is more morally disgusting than deliberately attacking an opponent.

"If those people have played the ball, they will not ask such questions. How can the stuttering on the court be controlled by human resources?" Xie Hou always said half of the words and hid half of them, and the reporter could not find a loophole that could be targeted.

The reporter could not ask about interesting content, and Claire took over the press conference as he always did.

He actively praised Xie Hou's performance and affirmed his and Kirilenko's performance.

At this time, a reporter asked: "We have heard rumors about the Pacers' transactions. Are you willing to explain?"

Claire was not surprised at this question.

The negotiations between the Pacers and Timberwolves have made substantial progress, and the alliance is getting closer to the media, even in the general manager's office, it is a wall that can breathe.

“What transaction rumors?”

"Rumor about trading Kevin Garnett." The reporter said, "Mingzhou reports that Garnett is willing to join forces with Arthur. What do you think about this?"

Xie Hou has heard a lot of rumors, and it was the first time Garnett was willing to join forces with him.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Garnett, he would have been a three-game banker in the regular season MVP.

His rookie season ranked second in the regular season MVP vote, with 39% winning votes second only to Garnett's 44%.

Judging from the reporter's opinion, now he and Garnett still have a chance to join forces?

If this is true, why did he not hear any news?

Thinking of this, Xie Hou was also curious about Claire's reply.

As the team's head coach, Claire's answer largely determines whether the transaction rumors are correct or not.

If something is true, even if it does not admit it, it will not deny it.

If this was not the case, he could directly deny it, which would help them stabilize the locker room.

"This news is quite interesting. KG is a great player, I like him." Here, there is no one who doesn't hate him. It's coming!

"But!" It came, "I think we don't need KG's joining than those teams that have a hot pursuit of KG."

Claire's words are destined to cause an uproar. Even if he is telling the truth, it cannot be like this. Does Garnett want to be faced?

Well, America has no face.

However, a truly smart person will never give an answer that may offend either party until things are concluded.

Claire's words killed the possibility of a transaction to a certain extent and caused Garnett to be unhappy.

No matter what level it is, it is not wise.

"Are you serious?" asked the questioner in surprise.

"Of course, I'm serious, you can write my words into your article. What I mean is what you understand, and I'll add it." Claire said lightly, "I like KG very much. He's a real contender. (But) If I'm not the Pacers' coach, he'll be the cornerstone of the team building that all teams want."

Claire's words are reasonable, but everything is reasonable and reasonable, when he has already made his position, they will be destroyed by the subsequent twists.

I will say a few good things to you before, so that people can avoid being seen as a black man. There is such a trick in the whole world.

Claire said politely: "KG is indeed an excellent cornerstone player, and any team can complete the reconstruction immediately after getting it. However, we already have Arthur. Arthur is the best leader of the players I have ever met, with outstanding leadership and innate winner attributes."

"In addition to Arthur, we also have Andre Kirirenko. He sent seven blocks and four steals tonight, and he was omnipotent on the defensive end. In my eyes, he is the best defender in the league. I think you all know that if we want to get Garnett, we will definitely lose one of these two. It's not a wise choice for us. Even without kg, once we are a strong team, even without kg, we still won the championship twice in the past three years. We are undoubtedly the most successful team in the past few years."

Claire's words made the reporters at the scene whisper.

He revealed the confidence of the Pacers. The facts are cruel and the truth is unpleasant, but that's it. Without Garnett, they were still the number one group that won the championship, and with Garnett, the added variables are unpredictable.

Seeing the atmosphere on the scene tense, Claire gradually showed his usual smile: "And in my opinion, the most critical reason why we cannot trade kg is that we cannot make Arthur angry. He doesn't want to change, nor does he want to become teammates with the players who stole his MVP."

Some ignorant reporters even asked Xie Hou in a silly manner if he really didn't want to be teammates with Garnett.

Xie Hou is well aware of the method of playing past the ball, but he is not going to kick the ball back to Claire.

His gun pointed at the sky: "This question, you can ask Steve Nash, his answer is mine."

Claire joked that Xie Hou was unwilling to be a teammate with the person who stole his MVP.

Xie Hou kicked the ball to the person who was snatched the MVP twice. The most important thing is that the person is not in front of him.

If the reporter is confused about this issue, he will be a little confused about the current situation.

Later, the reporter focused on asking how Kirilianko made such a good defense. This kind of problem could have been expected to be expected. Kirilianko made a draft in advance and responded to it smoothly.

The press conference ended successfully and on their way back to the locker room, Xie Hou and Kirilenko joked.

Kirilenko said that his few moves to Bowen were like murderers.

Xie Hou said without any guilt: "No, I am eliminating the harm for the people. I dare to bet with you that I will receive a lot of tribute calls tomorrow, and I dare not say others. Ray Allen, Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter are sorry for my efforts tonight if they don't call!"

This is what I said, if you maliciously hurt someone, you should give him little red flower a reward for encouragement.

Watching the two jokes with each other, as well as their tacit understanding and superimposed performance on and off the court, Claire really thinks they shouldn't make a deal, just like his speech in the office yesterday afternoon.

"I firmly oppose this deal!"

"We don't need Kevin Garnett, we don't need a deal!"

That was his speech.

"If we trade Andre, Arthur may not make any statement. He may not ask us to trade him, but he will lay a thorn in his heart. We don't know whether Kevin Garnett can perfectly replace Andre and others' loss, but I can be sure that if we trade Andre, we will definitely lose Arthur in the future!"

"We cannot be sure that Andre and Jermaine will not be able to guarantee health in the future. We cannot guarantee Kevin Garnett is suitable for the team, nor can we guarantee that he will play with Arthur, nor can we guarantee that he will choose to renew his contract when the contract expires in 2008 - we cannot guarantee these. What we can guarantee is that Arthur will definitely be angry. This will become a seed planted in his heart. When the seed germinates, this Emperor Star shining in Indiana will be far away from us!"

"Since there is so much uncertainty, one thing is certain, that is, Arthur will alienate us because of this, so why should we make this deal?"

Claire's words calmed the quarrels and put management in deep thought.

There was no result for the meeting that day.

Tonight's game, Walsh and Bird came to the scene, which seemed to be some kind of signal.

Claire didn't know what the result was waiting for him. He hoped that the management would not be impulsive and would not be blinded by the gimmicks of the super giants' joining forces.

That night, Claire returned home and there was a Bird's message on his voice text.
