Chapter 964: The Undercurrent of the Dream Team!

Although the San Antonio Spurs and Popovich had high expectations from many people, in the end he was unable to complete the blocking of Rondo's scoring.

Rondo once again won the scoring title on the spot. This was Rondo's eleventh consecutive game scoring title on the spot.

Not only did Popovich fail to stop Rondo from scoring.

It seemed as if he was conquered by Rondo.

The comments about Rondo at the post-game press conference were so overwhelming that even Spurs fans couldn't stand to hear them.

"Rajan is one of the strongest scoring players in the NBA. How could it be a failure if he scored 33 points in three quarters of the game? This is a success, a huge success!"

"I'm not being sarcastic, I'm serious. You guys pulled Jane at the lowest point. Rajon is the league's scoring leader, assist leader and triple-double leader. He is the first player in NBA history to achieve such an achievement. O.J. Oscar Robertson does not have a scoring champion, and Jerry West does not have a triple-double champion. Rondo is a combination of Oscar Robertson and Jerry West. A true combination, absorbing the characteristics of these two people, is better than these two. A stronger combination!”

"I was not abducted by aliens. Everything I said is serious. How strong is the combination of two top 15 historical superstars in NBA history? In fact, Rajon is stronger than their combination. That is LaJian. Jane also has a super defense that they don't have. If Payton's historical status is not qualified, I would say that Rajon is a combination of Jerry West, Oscar Robertson and Payton, and has all their advantages. hybrid!"

"Is there any conspiracy? No, there is no conspiracy in my appreciation of Rajon. I have never thought about exalting Rajon's status and letting Rajon launch a rebellion within the Seattle SuperSonics. There is no conspiracy in my appreciation of Rajon. conspiracy, I was really conquered by Rajon’s strength. He is one of the strongest players in the NBA and the strongest player in the United States!”

"I know exactly what I mean by what I said, and I also know what kind of controversy it will cause, but this is the fact that I think is being covered up. Rajon may be better than James than Kobe. More comprehensive, you don’t have to believe what I say, I hope you can look at Rondo’s shooting percentages of various statistics this season. His scoring efficiency is the highest among all players who average more than 20 points per game except Yes. , when you throw away your colored glasses and look at a player with the highest number of points and the highest efficiency, and when this player is also the assist leader and triple-double leader, you can accept all my praise for him. "

"Yes, I admire Rajon very much. I admire Rajon very much. I have invited him to join the U.S. team next year. He will definitely be on the U.S. team next year. He will even be on my U.S. team. Play some special roles.”

Popovich's comments about Rondo after the game caused a lot of noise among the media reporters at the scene.

No way, this is the first person besides Yes who has such a high evaluation of Rondo, and Popovich's evaluation is higher than Yes's evaluation of Rondo, and much higher!

Such an evaluation is really difficult to accept.

"Popovich just said in front of us that it was Rondo? It couldn't be Kobe, right?"

"Kobe can't reach the heights of Jerry West + Oscar Robertson + Payton!"

"Popovich won't be driven crazy by Rondo like Kobe, right?"

"My department was not driven crazy by Rondo. Our department finally got out of Rondo's hell. Thank you!"

"I'm really curious. Did Popovich lose his mind after the huge failure in last year's playoffs? Has the world-recognized poop become a treasure in front of him? Is it in his eyes? Blind, or are we all blind in the world?”

"Yeah, Yes keeps emphasizing how good Rondo is. It's understandable that Yes would blow Rondo. After all, they are teammates on the same team. Apart from Popovich being crazy, I don't see any reason for him to blow Rondo. There are so many players like this, right? And they are boasting about Rondo’s score!”

"Now the head coach of the US team is controlled by Popovich. I am very worried. Coach K has brought the US team down from the altar. Will Popovich lead the US team into hell?"

"I'm very concerned about the performance of the U.S. team at the World Championships next year."

“Worry +1”

"Worry +2"

“Worried +58”

"Man, you should say worried +3 right now."

Under the glare of the media from Goose City, bursts of cheerful laughter erupted throughout the post-match press conference.

The impact of Popovich's comments about Rondo in the postgame press conference spread far and wide.

Even the officials of the American Dream Team were alarmed.

The meaning of Popovich's postgame press conference couldn't be clearer.

There is no problem recruiting Rondo to the US team.

Let's not talk about Rondo's strength. He is an All-Star starter, two-time championship, triple-double king, assists king, plus possible points this season. With such qualifications, there is certainly no problem for the US team.

But Popovich is not asking Rondo to come to the US team to be an ordinary player, he is asking Rondo to be a leader!

Damn it, let Rondo come to the US team to be the leader? !

Although the leader of the U.S. team at the World Championships is currently absent, many mature superstars such as Kobe Bryant have no interest in the World Championships or even the U.S. team.

And young superstars like James and Wade, who were blamed for the failure of the 2008 Olympics, were also ambiguous about participating in the 2010 World Championships.

But the US team officials have been trying to persuade them.

The biggest bargaining chip to persuade them is of course the team leader, the only leader!

There were too many leaders in the 2008 Olympics, which made James feel wronged, so he was sensitive and did such a scandal as an undercover.

So the US team officials also learned this lesson. Now that the world basketball is so strong, the leadership of the US team needs to be unified. The turbulent and chaotic US team can't win the championship as easily as before.

If the leadership is unified, there can't be too many leaders, and it's best to have a recognized one.

Now Popovich puts all his bets on Rondo. What is he doing?

This is blocking James' way back to the US team!

Who doesn't know that James's competitor has always been Yes, and who doesn't know that in James' mind, he is the one who stands side by side with Yes.

Now let him go to the US team and be the leader with Yes's second or third child?

Damn, how humble and patriotic must James be to join the US team led by Rondo this time?

I really can't afford to lose this guy!

After Popovich expressed his support and love for Rondo at the press conference after the game, he received a lot of attention and care from the US team officials.

After hanging up these cares, Popovich was a little unhappy and disdainful.

Although his reputation in the basketball world has plummeted, this is also his reputation among fans and players.

In the coaching and management circles, his reputation is still enough.

He is Larry Brown's direct disciple, he is Nelson's registered disciple, he is a three-time NBA championship coach, how many NBA general managers and head coaches are his fellow brothers or disciples?

Even if his reputation among fans and players has fallen to the sewer, his status in the NBA and the basketball world is not something that anyone can control.

Want to control me and give up on making Rajon the leader?

You are really not qualified.

The US team is not only for those superstars to choose from, but also for this coach!

Humph, why do you think so highly of Rondo at this time?

Do you think this is overestimation?

Humph, wait until you see Rajon's magical performance in the 2010 World Championships, and you will know what cruelty is!

Although he was taught by Larry Brown, he has never been a person who sticks to the rules.

What was the final result of shaping Bruce from an ordinary role player into the leader of the Spurs?

Shaping Bruce into the leader of the Spurs even became one of the most successful decisions in his entire coaching career, Camby's decision to play badly and grab Duncan in 1997.

And this time, if Rondo is promoted to the US team and made the leader, it will be equally successful!

Moreover, why are you so eager to make Rondo a leader now?

If you don't start to praise Rondo when he is not yet developed, and wait until he really becomes the scoring champion and the MVP, how can you reflect his foresight?

If you start to praise Rondo now, when he and Rondo really beat Yes and the Chinese team in the World Championships and Olympics, the reputation you will receive will be the greatest!

Popovich felt the official pressure from the US team, but ignored it.

James, the victim of Popovich's support for Rondo, is now very uncomfortable and his face is very ugly.

His career with the US team was a failure. In 2004, he first joined the US team and participated in the Olympics, but he failed. Because he was just a soy sauce, he did not receive much criticism.

In the 2006 World Championships, this was his first time to be a leader in the US team. The US team led by Wade and Anthony failed again. This time he encountered pressure.

In the 2008 Olympics, this was his second time to be a leader in the US team. This time he was a leader with O'Neal and Kobe, but under his operation, he sidelined O'Neal and Kobe. He was actually the only leader. This time he failed again. This failure also made him encounter greater pressure. After all, he was the actual first leader.

After the huge failure in 2008, although he announced his indefinite withdrawal from the US team, it was just talk. How could he really withdraw?

As someone who aspires to become the most successful basketball player in the NBA, the most successful basketball player in the United States, and the most successful basketball player in the world, how could there be no Olympics or World Championships!

He originally returned to the US team. What he said before was just to put pressure on the US team and Coach K. Didn't Coach K resign under his pressure?

As long as Popovich continues to lick him and the US team continues to flatter him, he is willing to condescend to the US team to be a leader.

Popovich and the US team did lick him before.

But!

Damn, these people change their faces too quickly!

I just took advantage of my status a little bit, and these guys directly put Rondo on the position of the leader of the US team!

And just now, the president of the US team shamelessly discussed with him whether he could go to the US team and be the leader with Rondo.

They also said that he was the only leader in their hearts. As for Rondo, he was just the leader established by Popovich on the surface, and he had no status in the team.

Damn it!

Even if he was listed with Rondo on the surface, it was a humiliation to him!

He was listed with Yes's third brother, what was he? !

He was beaten by Yes's second brother Durant in the finals. This season, he was preparing to beat the second brother back and seek revenge from Yes. Now, he has not yet succeeded in seeking revenge from Durant, and he has retreated to compete with Rondo, the third brother?

Doesn't he, LeBron James, have any face? !

If this is the case, will he have to compete with the other fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers of the Supersonics in the future, and even players like James Harden of the Supersonics can compete with him? !

With Popovich's obvious support for Rondo, not only James is very unhappy now, but also some people in the Supersonics are very unhappy.

Durant has always been looking forward to participating in the 2010 World Championships.

Now...

Be a younger brother to Long Laotie?

Long Laotie should have plastic surgery first!

Damn, my son looks more and more like Rondo, it's so annoying!

Of course, more people are happy inside the Supersonics.

"Rajon, what did Popovich say to you at the end of the last game?"

"Did you have any shameful transactions?"

"Yeah, I think you look like a "singing boat", Rajon, you are not going to switch to the Spurs, are you?"

Job-hopping!

Erye hasn't become the boss of the Supersonics yet, how could he possibly switch!

Even if he wants to switch, is Erye the kind of person who switches from the Supersonics to the Spurs!

From the Supersonics to the Spurs is now equivalent to going from the Lakers to the Celtics or from the Celtics to the Lakers.

Erye's character disdains to be such a slave of two surnames!

"It's really strange to say that Popovich actually praised Rajon so much. Rajon is actually going to be the leader of the US team. It's incredible."

"Yeah, it makes Rajon seem like he is really the scoring champion."

Er Ye is not the real scoring champion, is he still a fake scoring champion? !

Rondo, who was standing behind Millsap and massaging Millsap, looked unhappy.

That's because Popovich, the old man, knows the goods. Like Yes, he clearly knows the strength of Er Ye!

When Er Ye arrives at the US team and becomes the leader of the US team, Er Ye will bring all of you little trash to the US team!

When you arrive at the US team, you will see what the iron fist of the team boss is and what the whip of the team boss is!

Du Shiwu, next summer's US team, Er Ye wants you to serve tea, water and towels to Er Ye!

Mi Lao Si, you can enjoy it slowly now. When the US team arrives next summer, Er Ye will let you massage my back and legs!

Hum, hum, hum, hum!

"Rajon, this is the strength, don't stop!"

"..."

Damn it, Michael Jordan!

Looking at Rondo, who was teased by other Sonics players in the training hall locker room but still couldn't hide his joy, Yes fell into deep thought.

He really didn't expect this result...
