the reason of the bad tony in first half

[fred33]

terme d’un match complètement fou, San Antonio s’est imposé dans le Game 1 face à Phœnix après deux prolongations, 117-115.
Tony, on peut dire que vous revenez de l’enfer…
C’est vrai, c’était un match complètement fou. Nous avons très mal débuté la rencontre. Pour ne rien arranger, j’ai pris le genou de Stoudemire dès le début du match en pleine tête. J’étais complètement sonné. J’ai dû passer des examens. Je voyais trouble, je n’étais pas bien. Le match est terminé depuis 1h et j’ai un mal de tête terrible. Pour revenir au match, on loupait absolument tout. On comptait 13 points de retard à la mi-temps. En seconde période, on s’est battu comme des fous. Et à la fin du 4e quart-temps, on égalise à la dernière seconde pour aller en prolongation. Finalement, nous l’emportons à l’arrachée après deux prolongations.

Finley égalise à 3 points à la fin du 4e quart-temps mais le plus incroyable, c’est Tim Duncan qui rentre ce shoot improbable derrière la ligne des 3 points pour vous envoyer dans une seconde prolongation.
Des fois, on vit des matchs incroyables. Celui-là en était un. Tim a rentré son premier panier à 3 points de la saison au bon moment. Avec ses 40 points, nous avons vu un grand Tim Duncan. Le Duncan qui peut faire la différence à lui tout seul. Nous avions besoin de lui parce que nous n’étions vraiment pas en réussite en attaque.

Cette série, qui est le choc de ce 1er tour, ne pouvait pas mieux débuter.
C’est bon pour le moral et la confiance. Mais nous savons très bien que cette série sera dure et longue. Phoenix est une très bonne équipe, ils l’ont encore montré ce soir. On a suffisamment d’expérience en play-offs pour savoir qu’ils nous restent encore beaucoup de chemin à parcourir. On ne s’enflamme pas, on passe tout de suite au second match.

Personnellement, quel regard portez-vous sur votre match ?
Pour quelqu’un qui a joué avec de violents maux de tête, je n’ai pas à me plaindre. (Tony a marqué 26 points).

Chose rare, vous avez quitté le parquet dans la seconde prolongation pour six fautes. Vous n’avez pas eu le sentiment d’abandonner vos co-équipiers ?
Non, pas du tout. Ca faisait en tout cas très longtemps que je n’étais pas sorti pour six fautes. Mais comme il restait 1’30 à jouer, je me disais que les gars pouvaient finir le travail. Bruce (Bowen) est rentré et ça a très bien marché. Il a bien défendu sur Nash et Manu (Ginobili) a mis le panier de la victoire.

you know i dont speak italian

[TampaDude]

en ingles, por favor :lol

[Summers]

It's all so clear to me now.

[fred33]

he was hurt by stoudamire at the head 1 hour after the game his head is painful .at halftime he was with doctor

[SAtown]

And it takes 1000000 words to say that? :lmao

[Kori Ellis]

he was hurt by stoudamire at the head 1 hour after the game his head is painful .at halftime he was with doctor

He was hit in the head early in the game?

[Tippecanoe]

no wait, i completely fucked that up

[Shaolin-Style]

Yes he ran into Stoudemire a play or two after the opening Tip going after a rebound.

He didn't get back on defense and was stunned by the play.

[Kori Ellis]

no wait, i completely fucked that up

le genou de Stoudemire

It's with the "e" so I thought he meant Amare.

[ShoogarBear]

Actually, ABC replayed a collision between Tony and somebody (Amare?) early in the game, and mentioned something about him being checked on.

[Kori Ellis]

Yes he ran into Stoudemire a play or two after the opening Tip going after a rebound.

He didn't get back on defense and was stunned by the play.

Yeah I didn't realize who hit him but I remember the play.

[1Parker1]

He was hit in the head early in the game?

Yea, wasn't that like the first play of the game? He ran into Amare's elbow/arm. Crumbled to the floor. But after he came out of the lockerroom, ABC reported the medical staff said he was fine...

[fred33]

He was hit in the head early in the game?

early in the first in the french interview he say it was painful all the game and 1 hour after the game

[Bruno]

I've taken Stoudamire knee in the head early in the game. I was really KO. I've undergo some medical exams. My vision was blur, I wasn't fine at all. The game has ended for one hour and I have big headaches.

[ShoogarBear]

Crap, that's a concussion. Not good.

[Kori Ellis]

Well he did a great job in the second half. So it can't be that serious. Rest up, Tony.

[Ice009]

F.UCK.

Is Tony going to be alright? U sure about that Kori?

[ShoogarBear]

Well he did a great job in the second half. So it can't be that serious. Rest up, Tony.

If he actually lost consciousness, then yes it can be. Not serious in that he would have any impairment, but serious in that he may not be cleared to play for a while.

[Ice009]

I hope TP is OK. Can anyone get some more info on this or heard any more info about it?

[gameFACE]

When they showed him on the jumbotron (or lighthouse) after that play the side of his face was red. I saw him come out from the locker room area between the first and second quarters.

That head blow had to affect his speed and vision because he didn't play well for a while there. Glad to hear he's okay.

[greens]

Anyone speak French? Can someone translate?

[Bruno]

You never know with concussions but it's look quite minor. If he still has some headaches tomorrow, it will be worrying.

[Bruno]

Anyone speak French? Can someone translate?

I've still translated the part about the injury.

The rest isn't that interesting. To sum up, Parker says : "we played bad in the first half, put a great fight in the second half, Duncan was great, it's only one game and this series will still be long and hard, we are now focused on game 2".

[BiZNicK]

Of coarse....why didnt i think of that............

[TampaDude]

TP should be okay...fortunately, the Spurs have TWO days off, not just one...

Here's a quick translation:

After a crazy contest, San Antonio prevails over Phoenix in Game 1 after double overtime.

Tony, you could say you've just returned from hell
It's true, it was a crazy game. We started the game really poorly. To make things worse, I took a knee to the head from Stoudemire right at the beginning of the game. I was really shaken up. I should have been examined. I had blurred vision and I didn't feel well. The game has been over for an hour now and I still have a terrible headache.

Getting back to the match, we were messing everything up. We were down 13 points at the break. In the second half, we fought like crazy and at the end of the 4th, we tied it at the last second to send it into overtime. Finally, we were able to break away after 2 overtimes.

Finley tied it with his 3 pointer at the end of the 4th but the most incredible shot was Tim's shot from behind the arc to send you to the 2nd overtime.

Sometimes, you experience some incredible games. This was one of them. Tim hit his first 3 of the season at the right moment. With his 40 points, you witnessed the great Tim Duncan. The Duncan that can be a difference maker all by himself. We needed him because we were really poor on offense.

This series, the toughest of the first round, couldn't have started better.
It's good for morale and for our confidence. But we know that this series will be long and hard. Phoenix is a very good team and they showed it tonight. We have enough playoff experience to know that there's a long road ahead. We're not getting too worked up about this win. We're already thinking about game 2.

What do you think about your performance in this game?
For someone playing with a terrible headache, I've nothing to complain about. (Tony scored 26 points)

A rare occurrence, you left the game in the 2nd overtime after fouling out. Did you feel like you abandoned the team?
No, not at all. It's probably been way too long since I've fouled out of a game (i.e. he was due). Since there was only 1.5 min left to play, I felt the guys could get the job done. Bruce came in for me and things worked out well. He defended Nash well and Manu scored the game winner.

[Solid D]

I was wondering during the game if Tony was still affected by the impact he took. Tony was going for a loose ball and wham, he and Amare collided and Tony just lay there on the floor.

I could easily see where that type of collision would concuss him at the back of his head.

[timvp]

I have to think Parker will be cleared to play. The danger comes in if he gets another concussion. That's when the doctors will step in and try to shut him down. One concussion where he was still able to play is unlikely to force an NBA player to miss a game in the playoffs.

[boutons_]

they mar MRI or PET scan his head looking for damage, blood.
sure sounds like a concussion.

[Gros Membres!]

French speaker here. Nice translations above.

I wondered about TP. He seemed o get it going in the second half though. I'm happy to hear it was the blow to the head and not a lack of confidence. For being concussed, he did knock down some sweet shots in the second half.

Rest of TP. We need you.

[Crookshanks]

It was kinda scary to hear Tony talk about the blow to the head and how seriously it affected him! Thank goodness he was ok and was able to play through the blinding headache. It's good this was an early game and they now have 2 days before they have to play again. Eva needs to give him lots of TLC!

[timvp]

In the second half I thought Parker played with an extra amount of calmness and relaxation. Thinking back on it, perhaps he was just woozy :lol

[MaNuMaNiAc]

TP better be ok man... can you imagine having to take on a pissed off Suns team without TP? Not encouraging.

[ShoogarBear]

Last year we had to hear about what a warrior Steve Nash was because he played a few minutes with a cut nose that his trainer was too stupid to fix properly.

If Nash ever played 7/8 of a game with a concussion, he'd be the first Canadian to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Parker probably won't get a single column out of it.

[jmard5]

A very good game, nevertheless, for Parker. I hope he is alright.

If this had happened to the Suns, well...

[Josepatches]

He were fine.Every player have an impact when they are playing.
The reason was the Suns began to play like all the teams against TD and Parker had find more easy the way to the hoop.
All the teams put 2 men on TD.The Suns didn't do it in the first half (They think Shaq can stop TD:rollin:rollin) so Tim could score easy but his teammates never were open like they usually were against every NBA team.
But in the second half the Suns were looking more to TD so TP only had to take the pick and he find clear the way to the hoop.That's the reason why TP was better in the second half.
But anyway Nash was the best PG on the court.He is old,maybe he's not the better PG of the league right now,Parker is much better scorer but Nash had the control of the game.Only the miracle of Finley and TD give us chance to get the game.

[lefty]

Anyone speak French? Can someone translate?

I do.

But I don't want to.

[J.T.]

Damn Dirty Suns players! How dare they injure Tony!

[Kori Ellis]

I do.

But I don't want to.

Umm.. it's already been translated.

you know i dont speak italian

It's french.

translation:


* tony, you came back from hell in this game ?

It's true. it was a crazy game. We had a very bad start. To make it worse, i took the knee of Stoudemire in the head in the begin of the game. I was knocked out. I had to have medical examination. i didn't see clearly. i wasn't fine. The game is over for an hour and i still got a headache.
We were missing a lot. But we found a way to come back and we didn't give up.

* Finley made a huge 3 but the one from Tim was incredible ?

Sometimes, games are just going crazy. Tim made his first 3 of the season at the right time. With his 40 pts, we've seen a big Tim. THE tim who is able to change a game alone. We needed him tonight because we were struggling tonight

* This serie, which is the big battle of the first round of the PO, begins well ?

It's good for confidence. But we know this serie will be long and hard. Phoenix is a very good team, the showed it tonight. We've got enough experience in PO to know there's a long way to go. We're not getting mad, we're already focused on the second game.

* Personnally, what do you think about your game ?

Well, considering the hurt at the head, it wasn't so bad. (tony scored 26 pts)

* Very rare thing, you were fouled out in the 2nd OT. Didn't you feel like giving up your teamates ?

Not at all. It was a very long time it didn't happen to me. But there was only 1'30 to play, i knew my teamates could finish the game. Bruce came in and it worked. He defended well on Nash and Manu made the game winner.

Battered and bruised

Parker sported a welt on the left side of his head, the result of a collision with Amaré Stoudemire's knee on the first play.

"My whole game my head was pounding and pounding," Parker said. "It was like a big headache. Sometimes it was like I didn't know where I was."

Team doctors checked Parker's eyes and neck in the locker room. He finished with 26 points and five assists.

[lefty]

Umm.. it's already been translated.

Um...thanks

[spursfan09]

So he was seeing double everytime he tried to defend the 3 point shooters and fouled them instead right?

[Elraptor]

I have no idea that he got hit though.

and what does that have to do with the article?

It's a joke, calm down.

Amen.

+10000000

That's a fucking STUD game from Parker. I've been waiting for someone to give recognition.

"darkness; headache; didn't know where I was; sore neck" -- that's a full on concussion.
