Final NBA / B Diaw (Spurs): “we should play very very well if we want to win”
San Antonio is poised to win the fifth NBA title in its history. Under the leadership of Tony Parker , the Spurs lead the NBA final series that pitted them to the Miami Heat, the defending champion.
In the third success of Texas (114-104), Boris Diaw , discreet in scoring with 1 point, was invaluable to contain the MVP of the regular season LeBron James . “I did not do anything different from what was expected , said the captain of the Blues. There is no fear to feel . The goal was to stay in front of him, to have the help of my teammates, to a wall to prevent him from entering, “ says the Franco-Senegalese interior who also issued 3 assists and 4 rebounds taken over the 27 minutes spent on the tartan. In addition , he says, it allows Kahwi (Leonard) to rest, to defend him on late in the game if necessary. And it allows him to avoid mistakes. “
Just like his teammates in San Antonio, Diaw is “happy” to have won the Game 5 “but we do not get ignited. There are no more games at home. We know that Miami will be back to the wall Tuesday (in Game 6 in Florida). They have to win; otherwise, the season is over. They will arrive with a lot of energy. We'll have to come with the same energy. There is a very small margin of error. If we want to win, we will have to play very, very well. “
