After the halftime break...
In less than four minutes of the third quarter, Ginobili, who was substituted by Popovich, once again intensified the panic atmosphere in the ATT Center.
In the first half of this period, the golden wave showed signs of surging.
Right at the start, Qin Yue hit a three-pointer from each 45-degree angle on the left and right sides.
These two three-pointers fully demonstrated Qin Yue's calmness and composure in breaking through the Spurs' zone defense tonight.
Regarding this, Popovich complained to Avery Johnson: "How did Avery teach the Mavericks? Why is this kid shooting better and better in the playoffs?"
As everyone knows, a basketball player's shooting touch often has inertia.
So, at this moment, Popovich was not deliberately shifting the blame.
It was that under the Mavericks' previously outstanding and excellent defense, the Warriors continued their shooting touch grown there into this playoff series against the Spurs.
