Last year's Western Conference Semifinals, when the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Warriors to advance, Bruce Bowen was asked a question: "Do you think Roger can get back on track in the Bay Area."
Bowen answered cautiously: "I don't know if he can get back on track again, but I know that from now on, every time the Spurs meet Roger, they have to be careful. From what I know of him, he's not someone who easily lets go of grudges."
Today's game fulfilled Bowen's statement.
Roger is not someone who easily lets go of grudges.
Even if his enemy is the low-key Tim Duncan, he will never easily let it go.
No one has ever beaten Roger in the playoffs for two consecutive years, which is a terrifying achievement that is underestimated.
This year, Roger seems set to maintain this record.
After the first game of the series, Roger's interview was equivalent to giving the Spurs an ultimatum.
This must be his era, he won't allow anyone to touch the legacy of the dynasty.
