Chapter 862: Greg Angrily Rebukes His Ministers, and Bruce Is Loyal and Courageous!

On May 2, 2009, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the stands of the ATandT Arena in San Antonio were packed!

The game hadn't started yet, but the crazy shouts had resounded through the sky.

"It's hard to imagine that this is the pre-game between the first and eighth teams in the West!"

"But this is the pre-game between the first and eighth teams in the West!"

Tense, exciting, panic, crazy!

This is all the footnotes to this game!

Barkley now feels that it is difficult to control the surging emotions in his heart.

If there is a donkey's ass in front of him at this time, he will definitely hug it and bite it wildly to vent the crazy emotions in his heart.

Kenny Smith next to Barkley is not as crazy as Barkley. In his heart, he has more uneasy emotions.

There is no doubt that he hopes that Yes can win this game in the end!

As long as the Supersonics black out the Spurs, the Heat's chances of winning the championship will increase greatly!

For this game, there is no group in the world that represents different departures and will have their own departures and emotions.

For example, David Stern, who is on the sidelines at this time, is absolutely panicking now.

Listening to the crazy shouts of the Spurs fans, David Stern now feels that his palms are sweating.

He is a man who is used to big scenes, but no matter how many big scenes he has seen, when a game determines hundreds of millions or even tens of billions or billions of interests, he will still panic!

This game between the Supersonics and the Spurs means too many things to this year's NBA and today's world.

Because of the fermentation of public opinion in recent days, this game has become one of the most watched playoffs in NBA history, and even the word "one" can be removed.

When David Stern thought that the most watched playoffs in NBA history and even the most watched game changed hands again, he was quite emotional.

Since Yes appeared, he found that the miracle-like games in the NBA have become more and more.

So much so that he didn't know how many times in the past three years he had given away the name of the most watched game in the world in the NBA.

"It's like God's arrangement!"

These magical games that happened because of Yes seemed to be arranged by the Creator. Otherwise, how could there be no 0-3 reversal in the past 60 years in the NBA, and two of them happened in the past two years?

Looking at the familiar figure on the court who walked out amid the boos of the Spurs fans, the No. 9 of the Supersonics, David Stern's eyes were full of admiration and praise.

This is God's greatest masterpiece!

"This is the first time I remember that we received so many boos in San Antonio!"

"Of course, this game is not an ordinary game!"

In the boos of the Spurs fans, ordinary players are really a little weak, but the faces of the Supersonics players are more surprised.

There are too many preparations before the game between the Supersonics and the Spurs, as if it is a century-long battle in the NBA.

Since it is such a century-long battle, they certainly can't be afraid to retreat and finally lose here because of the boos of the fans.

"If we don't fight hard here, we will be sorry for the preparation and expectations of the whole world for this game."

The current state of the Supersonics players is very good, which makes old Nelson very satisfied and relieved.

In such a crucial game, if the players' mentality or state is unbalanced,

it means that they have lost half of the game.

No matter what the public opinion outside is, no matter what the public opinion of NBA insiders is.

For him and the Supersonics, he hopes that his players can treat this game as an ordinary game that must be fought with all their strength.

Even if everyone knows that this game is not ordinary.

Anyone will feel pressure in the boos of Spurs fans. Similarly, even in the applause of Spurs fans, just like the current Spurs players, do they have no pressure?

Looking along the old Nelson's gaze, after the Supersonics finished their appearance, every Spurs player was greeted with the biggest cheers and applause from the Spurs fans when he appeared.

At this time, are the Spurs players really as he imagined, with very, very great pressure, just like he and his Supersonics players feel now?

Old Nelson doesn't know.

He doesn't have the ability to read minds.

But after the Spurs players finished their appearances, the Spurs players, such as Bowen or Duncan, or other people, all had their eyes on Yes!

On the court, at this time, he became the focus of all the Spurs players, but Yes didn't feel anything.

"Isn't the look of the Spurs players a little too blatant? They simply don't take our existence seriously?"

"With this look, these Spurs players are telling the world that as long as they defeat Yes, they will defeat the Supersonics..."

"Although this is indeed the case, it is still very uncomfortable to be so blatantly despised, right? After all, we are not all Serge, right? Hahahaha, Serge, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously."

Of course, Ibaka didn't take it seriously.

As a member of the Trash Club, how could he not stand such words?

When the Trash Club held a meeting, there were more direct words.

Besides, even if this is not a joke, he can accept it if it is true.

After all, his performance in the first six games was like this.

But...

Looking at the eyes of every Spurs player who wanted to swallow Yes during the pre-match training, Ibaka clenched his hands into fists.

He wanted to help Yes!

At this time, Yes needed his help more than ever!

If he couldn't stand up in this game when Yes needed his help the most.

No need to jump into the Pacific Ocean, just hide your hands and give up basketball!

I don't know if he felt such determination, Ibaka felt that his hands seemed to protest his determination with a slightly hot temperature.

Protesting is useless!

If you say to cut, you must cut!

"Serge, you are not really angry, are you?"

"No, I'm not angry!"

Facing Ibaka's eyes full of determination, the Sonics players felt that Ibaka was a little different tonight.

And those Spurs players who were stared at by Ibaka still had no one else in their eyes, only Yes.

Looking at Yes, even Duncan now has an admiring look on his face.

The Spurs are really scared by Yes!

Not only Popovich, but even he himself is also scared by Yes.

As a king of background boards, he has been a background board in various ways.

Including being a background board for Yes, he doesn't know how many times he has been a background board.

But this time, facing four consecutive buzzer-beaters, a 3-0 lead was reversed, and the super invincible background board of the black eight, even if he is used to being a background board, he can't face it with a calm heart.

If he is really hit by this background board, it may really be fatal!

Maybe he won't die, maybe Bruce won't die, but except for him and Bruce who are only seriously injured, everyone else may die!

The background board that Yes created with his own hands and smashed at him and his team was too heavy, so heavy that he couldn't bear it safely.

Fortunately, Bruce was prepared for the background board that Yes smashed.

Otherwise, what awaited the Spurs was really a death without a burial place!

So, after the 3-3 score, whether it was him, Popovich, or any other Spurs player, coach, or staff member, they really worshipped Bowen like a god.

Is Popovich the 15th great prophet who is ridiculed?

And Bruce, that is the real great prophet!

Duncan looked at Bowen beside him with his dull and lifeless eyes.

And what about Bowen?

When the players of both sides completed the pre-match training and the final preparations before the game and were finally ready to play, Bowen and Yes confronted each other again on the sidelines, at the midline, and at the technical table!

This time, the confrontation between the two was still so intense!

This time, the momentum emanating from the two was still so powerful!

So much so that when the confrontation between the two came out, Duncan and others felt the huge cheers and boos from the Spurs fans on the scene.

The applause was of course for Bowen, and the boos were naturally for Yes.

Although he still couldn't understand what the eyes of Bowen and Yes were telling at this time, Duncan could feel that Bowen, who was confronting Yes now, was really different from before!

Bowen: Are you surprised?

Yes: Nothing you do will surprise me.

Bowen: Haha, you black-hearted people are really interesting. You are still stubborn even when you are about to die.

Yes: Black-hearted?

Bowen: I just wanted a choice before, but you didn't give it to me. Now, I just want to kill you!

After Bowen glared at Yes with the most fierce eyes, he took the Spurs players to the court.

Looking at Bowen's stubborn back, Yes tilted his head and asked Ibaka beside him.

"Am I black-hearted?"

"..."

Ibaka was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person looked like he had seen a ghost!

Black-hearted? !

Who dares to say that Yes1 is black-hearted? I will chop him up first, and then jump into the Pacific Ocean with him!

But before Ibaka could speak out his inner thoughts, Yes had already looked down at his feet.

67…72…76…68…81…

Good touch.

74!

Unlocked!

“It’s our turn.”

When Yes led the Sonics players into the court again, the whole scene booed wildly again.

“Before the game, Popovich said that the Spurs would change their formation. In this game, the Spurs did change their formation. Tony Parker, the starting point guard of the Spurs, became Justin Duntmon!”

“In this most important game, Popovich made a crazy decision!”

“Seeing Popovich’s change, I even think that Popovich can make the decision to replace Duncan from the court at the last minute!”

The starting lineup of the Spurs tonight is Duncan, Bonner, Stephen Jackson, Bowen and Justin Duntmon.

Seeing Parker sitting under the court, the commentators from various countries on the sidelines were shocked.

How long has it been since Parker appeared in the Spurs’ starting lineup?

Should it be said that Parker has played as a substitute in the Spurs' playoffs?

Since he played for the Spurs once in the 2002 playoffs, Parker has always been the starting point guard of the Spurs!

It's been eight years!

Popovich actually made Parker a substitute in such an important game!

Compared with the shocking Spurs starting lineup, the Sonics' starting lineup is the same starting lineup that has never changed.

Milicic, Millsap, Ibaka, Yes and Rondo.

This is a starting lineup without any highlights.

So after the starting lineups of both sides came out, the world's attention was on this huge change of the Spurs.

Even old Nelson, the head coach of the Sonics, was surprised.

He knows Popovich very well.

Popovich is one of his registered disciples.

He knows that Popovich has a habit of gambling.

But this time, this gamble seems to be really big.

However...

After old Nelson took his eyes away from Popovich on the other side, he looked at Justin Duntmon on the court.

He is also familiar with the No. 1 player of the Spurs. He is a former player of the University of Washington. He won the NCAA championship with Yes. He was the sixth man of the University of Washington at that time and the leading guard of the University of Washington who stayed in the team.

His basketball IQ and skills are average, but his speed, physical confrontation and defense are really extraordinary.

After playing a year of extremely unsuccessful NCAA with Curry, while the value of other University of Washington players was dragged down by Curry, his value was not dragged down, and even rose against the trend and was won by the Spurs in the first round.

Under Popovich's careful training, Justin Duntummon's offense has not improved much this season, but his defense has improved a lot.

He is now considered a very good defensive player at the No. 1 position in the league.

Popovich certainly did not want to target Rondo in this game by putting such a double-edged offensive player with strong defense.

Rondo does not need to be targeted.

Since he is not targeting Rondo, then he must be targeting Yes?

Old Nelson is not sure.

Old Nelson was not sure what Justin Duntmon's role was, but the commentators from all over the world and the reporters in the press box were very sure.

"The Spurs are really going to double-team Yes in this game!"

"Justin Duntmon is a more suitable player than Parker to assist Bowen in double-teaming Yes!"

"Justin Duntmon is Yes's former teammate. He is familiar with some of Yes's habits. His physical fitness and defense are better than Parker. Using him to assist Bowen in defending Yes is the best choice!"

The impact of Popovich's lineup change on the sidelines continued to expand.

On the court, the game between the two sides had already begun.

Milicic and Duncan had a jump ball.

There is no doubt that Duncan was once again beaten by Milicic during the jump ball.

Milicic was usually timid when facing Duncan, but he would definitely punch hard without any reservation during the jump ball.

Anyway, in this series, I have become accustomed to being the background board for Milicic's jump ball.

This is the last time in this series.

When Milicic jumped high, Duncan also made a stunned gesture with his mouth wide open, eyes wide open and hands open.

As a professional background board, this professional quality of cooperating with the performance is good.

But...

This exaggerated acting almost sprained Milicic's waist when he jumped in the air.

After Duncan made a pose to cooperate with Milicic's exaggerated acting, he retreated before Milicic came down from the air.

The whole world knows what one of the most lethal weapons of the Seattle Supersonics is.

Although Yes did not play any jump ball fast break in this series because of Bowen's defense.

But with Duncan's defensive quality, how could he give the Supersonics such an opportunity.

However, at the beginning of this game, whether it was the audience on the sidelines or the audience in front of the TV, what they wanted to see was not the opening fast break of Yes and the Supersonics.

What they wanted to see was Bruce Bowen, the strongest defensive player in NBA history, coming to double-team Yes!

The strongest defensive player in history is going to double-team an opposing offensive player!

What does this mean?

This means that this defensive player has voluntarily given up his title of the strongest defensive player in history!

It is impossible for the strongest defensive player in history to be unable to defend against an offensive player who needs to be double-teamed!

It's like a player who is called the strongest offensive player in history but can't play one-on-one!

When Yes and Bowen were respectively named the strongest offense and the strongest defense in history, many people said that it was contradictory for these two titles to appear in the same era.

Since Bowen is the strongest defense in history, there cannot be a strongest offense in history in the same era.

Offense and defense!

Spear and shield!

There really shouldn't be two kings in one era!

And in this game, Bowen is about to take off the crown on his head with his own hands!

Many people are looking forward to this historic moment.

The moment when Bowen takes off his crown with his own hands.

The moment when Bowen personally steps down from the altar.

This is a historic moment!

The historic moment when the God of Offense forces the God of Defense to give up the crown and the altar with his own hands!

For those who were watching the excitement, this moment made them excited and excited.

But for the Spurs players on the court and the Spurs spectators on the sidelines, when they saw Bowen about to double-team Yes with his teammates, everyone's face was moved and sad.

Even Popovich's face was full of emotion now.

And at this time, every player and coach of the Spurs, including Popovich, almost remembered the scene that happened in the locker room before the game.

"I took Tony's starting position."

"I'm sure some of you will be very dissatisfied?"

"I tell you, I am even more dissatisfied!"

"We have a total of five starters, and I wish I could take four of them. We have thirteen active players, and I wish I could dismiss twelve of them on the spot!"

"Look at these teammates standing next to you!"

"Which one is not well-dressed?!"

"Which one is not successful?!"

"Which one is not my right-hand man?!"

"You are all rotten, my heart is broken!"

"This is the kingdom we built with one hand!"

"Now this piece we built with one hand We have turned the kingdom we conquered into what it is now. I am deeply distressed!"

"I am guilty of San Antonio, I am ashamed of the fans, I am ashamed of the Spurs, I wish I could dismiss myself!"

"And you, although you all stand on the court in a dignified manner, are you so clean and so self-righteous? !"

"I know that some of you are more hateful, worse, and more corrupt than Parker!"

"I advise you to turn your own wolfish hearts and dog lungs out, expose them to the sun, wash them, and check whether you are worthy of Bruce doing everything for you! ”

“When I first arrived at the Spurs, I always thought that our biggest opponent was the Jazz. When the Jazz collapsed, I thought the biggest enemy was the Lakers. We tied the Lakers again, and then the Mavericks became a concern again, so we took the Mavericks!”

“After taking the Mavericks, now Yes has become a concern again!”

“I am now more and more clear that the Spurs’ concern is not outside, but in the team, in this locker room, among my players and my own disciples who I have personally trained!”

“If any of you are a little rotten, the Spurs will be rotten!”

“If all of you are rotten, the whole world will start to mock the Spurs, We will die together without a burial place!"

"Think about it, it has only been a few years since Mavericks Nowitzki was hanged in Seattle?"

"Have you forgotten everything?!"

"Yes, the crooked tree that hanged Nowitzki is still there, staring at me and you every day!"

"Since the loss of the last game, I haven't slept for three days and three nights. I always want to say something to everyone."

"But what should I say? You all understand the truth. Everything has to have an end, right?"

"After thinking about it, I can only think of four words. These four words are easy to say, but how difficult it is to do them. These four words are dug out from my heart. We dug it out of the sea of ​​blood!"

"Remember, from now on, our home team locker room will be renamed the 'Loyal and Courageous Room'. Now I will have people hang a banner of loyalty and courage and a photo of Bruce in the middle of our locker room!"

"Take a good look, all of you look up, take a good look, see what loyalty to the team is, what righteousness to teammates and coaches is, look at Bruce, think about yourself, for half an hour, I won't say anything, all of you look up and look at Bruce for half an hour!"

That was a scene that the Spurs players will never forget in their lives!

And now, this is also a scene that the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV will never forget in their lives!

"The Spurs double-teamed Yes!"

"Bowen double-teamed Yes!"

"But the one who double-teamed Yes with Bowen was not Justin Duntmon, but Stephen Jackson?!"

Looking at this scene that suddenly appeared in the middle of the court, the reporters in the press box and the commentators in the commentary box all stood up in shock!

Even old Nelson, who had a premonition, was stunned.

And Yes, who was always calm on the court, also showed a surprised look.

Bowen, Jackson...

He was not surprised that these two people double-teamed him.

He was surprised by the temperament of Bowen, Jackson and the Spurs players...

It was almost the same temperament as the temporary state of the superstar system after being inspired by the head coach!

This game!

For the first time, Yes, who had always been confident of winning, showed a solemn expression on his face.
