Chapter 1,168 Rondo and Popovich, the Collision of Punches!

Before the game against the Spurs, Rondo was really, really excited.

Because of Rondo's special relationship with the Spurs, before the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, everyone was paying attention to the feud between Rondo, Popovich and the Spurs.

The strength comparison between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is now completely different from what it used to be.

The Spurs will not have any power to fight back against the Seattle SuperSonics.

But there is no way. Although the outcome of the game is not suspenseful, it does not mean that the game is not exciting.

An exciting game not only requires the intensity of the game, but also requires enough storytelling, and the game between the Spurs and SuperSonics is full of storytelling.

The story between Rondo, Popovich and the Spurs has been the most hilarious movie in the NBA for the past three years.

To be honest, for Popovich and the Spurs, they hope to forget everything that happened between them and Rondo in the past three years.

No one wants to be treated as a joke by the whole world.

As long as Rondo no longer appears in the NBA, as long as Rondo no longer exists in their world, all this can disappear.

However, who would have thought that Rondo, a guy who had been determined to be a useless person by them, would come to the SuperSonics and be resurrected in the hands of Yes...

Now Rondo is a member of the "Generation of Miracles", and even the "mythical beast" in the most popular basketball game 2k. As long as you are playing 2k now, who the hell doesn't want to experience the experience of controlling Rondo, the "mythical beast" Feel?

2k has changed the gameplay for Rondo.

It can be said that whether Rondo is one of the six people officially recognized as the "Generation of Miracles" or the discussion and popularity among fans, it means that this guy will not disappear from the world of the Spurs.

Not only will he not disappear from the world of Popovich and the Spurs, but he will keep reappearing.

And this guy Rondo really hates Popovich and the Spurs.

As long as there is an interview and it is about Popovich and the Spurs, it is impossible not to diss.

To say that Popovich is duplicitous, sweet-talking, and having Alzheimer's disease is an understatement.

Before the game, a reporter asked him if he regretted hitting Popovich. He was able to say such a "regret theory" and his unforgettable hatred for Popovich and the Spurs. The reporters were dumbfounded.

Rondo is a very cautious person.

At first, almost everyone in the Spurs regarded him as Britney, but later, all those who regarded him as Britney betrayed him.

To Rondo, whose mind was smaller than the eye of a needle, this was the most shameless betrayal.

It can be said that except for Duncan, almost every important person in the Spurs has licked him before. Therefore, in the entire Spurs, except for Duncan, everyone is a villain.

Among them, Popovich, who licked him the hardest, became the villain among villains.

For these villains, Rondo certainly hopes to pay back all the suffering he has suffered here in the past three years.

After everyone broke up, you fell into a quagmire, but now I am soaring into the sky. I don't mock you, are you worthy of my name, Mr. Long?

As for Mr. Long's mouth, you really don't want to hear anything nice from his mouth.

In this game against the SuperSonics, everyone on the Spurs team was very nervous.

There's no way, I'm just for the sake of fish, and I'm just for the sake of it. Just like Rondo's attitude of talking to the media before the game, this game is probably not going to be about revenge after the "three-year period is up", and then another one after the game. He smiled crookedly.

The most nervous one among them is undoubtedly the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich.

Now, he actually no longer cares about whether he will be slapped in the face by Rondo. What else should he care about?

Rondo is now the winner, he is now the loser. What qualifications does a loser have in the NBA to ask the winner not to slap him in the face?

Now, when the Spurs traded Leonard for Rondo,

Rondo was directly waived this season. These two operations have been selected by ESPN as one of the top ten most mentally retarded operations in NBA history.

As the executor of these two operations, Popovich has no face left.

Now he has been pulled from the altar by Rondo and this series of operations in San Antonio.

Now he has no divinity and no aura of wisdom. Even if he has an aura, he now has an aura of Alzheimer's disease.

In this contest and competition with Rondo, he has actually given up.

It no longer makes any sense for him and Rondo to argue about who is right and who is wrong, and who loses.

Because they appear in American basketball history textbooks, Popovich and Rondo must have appeared together.

According to the records of the 2010 World Championships in the book 'History of American Basketball' written by Not Fifteen Second, that period of history was not only called the 'Twelve Hours of King's Castle', but was also called American Basketball The historical 'Lang Por Rebellion'.

"The outbreak of the Long Por Rebellion brought American basketball to a standstill. Before the Long Por Rebellion, American basketball developed unprecedentedly. The popularity of the NBA increased. The entire American basketball and NBA were in a prosperous state. The outbreak of the Long Por Rebellion not only destroyed American basketball. All the prestige accumulated over the decades has also affected the entire NBA structure, and the NBA has since turned from prosperity to decline."

This damn thing is not fifteen but the second one. All the content about the "Long Por Rebellion" in the "American Basketball History" has been selected into the FIBA ​​Basketball History, and it has been regarded as a tribute to him and Rondo's "American Basketball History". The biggest group of sinners in basketball history' has been directly determined.

Even the impact of Yes's retirement was placed on him and Rondo.

David Stern dared to put his hat on Yes for the NBA's decline three years ago. Although everyone knows what caused the NBA's decline, he and Rondo still have to shoulder the blame.

So, for him, he really doesn't care about anything now.

Now, in the basketball world and the NBA, he is really infamous.

He no longer cares about the historical status of American basketball, the historical status of the basketball world, or the historical status of the basketball circle.

All he wants now is to maintain his place in San Antonio history.

All he wants now is to develop a few usable successors for San Antonio.

All he wants now is to drag the Spurs out of the quagmire.

He himself can be humiliated and humiliated by Rondo, but he hopes that the Spurs under his leadership can grow healthily in the future.

After Duncan left, the entire Spurs really belonged to Home Alone.

The team’s five starters.

The center is Bennett.

Power forward is Derrick Favors

The small forward is Derrick Williams.

The shooting guard is Harrison Barnes.

Point guard Patrick Mills.

They are all young, even the oldest Mills is only 25 years old this year.

And although these young players are not amazingly talented, their qualifications are not bad. For example, Favors, I don’t know if it is because of the contract year, this year is considered a big explosion, and he finally played in his fourth year. The 12+9 data is considered a highlight of the Spurs this year.

Another example is Harris-Barnes and Derrick Williams. Although their statistics have not improved, their talents are still good.

can be expected.

Right now, the two of them are still struggling, but things will change when they reach the contract year like Favors.

Even Bennett, no matter how bad his performance is now and no longer has fighting spirit, he will always have a contract year and there will always be pressure.

As long as they have talent, they can always rise.

He hopes that he can lead this group of players to rise again.

You don't need to win a championship, you just need to give Spurs fans hope.

He hopes that Rondo can vent all his anger on himself. He doesn't want Rondo to use the power of the Seattle SuperSonics to destroy the confidence of his little darlings.

This time, Popovich gave in in front of his Second Master Long. So, Second Master Long, do you think you should only punish me as the culprit and not involve too many people?

Just let it out on me?

To be honest, given Popovich's character, it is incredible that he can tolerate Rondo's constant provocations to such an extent.

Even the Spurs assistant coach next to him, Bowen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, found it incredible.

He knows Popovich’s feelings for Rondo best.

That kind of extremely complicated, extremely angry and hateful emotions are intertwined together. Rondo is simply his inner demon.

If possible, Popovich is willing to humanely destroy Rondo.

But now, the form is stronger than the person, and the teacher has become so humble now.

Bowen felt uncomfortable when he thought that the reason why his mentor was as humble as he was was all because of him.

Before retiring, he cheated his mentor, cheated the team, cheated again after retirement, and finally brought his mentor into the ditch...

Sometimes Bowen always felt that there was no way he could repay his debt to his mentor with these two legs.

Of course, besides these two legs, he didn't know what other parts could be used to redeem his sins.

In fact, Popovich still doesn't know enough about Rondo.

Rondo is indeed a very, very vindictive person.

But he is also a very, very proud person.

If you don't provoke him, he really can't do that kind of thing to suppress juniors.

To be fair, in the Spurs, juniors like Derrick Favors didn't even have the chance to lick Rondo.

As for the players who entered the Spurs later, such as Harrison Barnes and Derrick Williams, they have long distanced themselves from Rondo.

There is no intersection, and naturally there is no hatred.

Mr. Long's arrogant soul also prevents him from doing things that juniors do for no reason.

After all, ever since David Stern packaged 'Generation of Miracles' into a whole this season and stuffed him into the 'Generation of Miracles' gift package, Mr. Long knew that his chance of making a comeback had been coming.

Since David Stern, the NBA's Player of the Week in the first week of the Western Conference, created a "Generation of Miracles" NBA team, the players in the SuperSonics team who entered the "Generation of Miracles" are certainly quite good. Thrilled and excited.

This means a chance for regular season MVP!

As long as they can hold on to the end of this season without a brave man standing in their way, the six members of the "Generation of Miracles" will be the regular season MVPs!

Therefore, David Stern's meaning is obvious, that is to encourage them. Although David Stern did not speak, it seemed as if he had spoken.

"You guys who want to be the devil this season, as long as you can stand at the end like the devil, you will be the king of the NBA this season!"

David Stern's move greatly inspired the six SuperSonics players.

Of course, he is also very enviable by other Sonics players.

But it's just envy. As long as Ye Si is here, the Sonics can't cause chaos for anything.

It is precisely because of David Stern's motivation and encouragement.

This season, the six members of the Sonics were directly packaged into a team, which made the six members of the Sonics look like "braves".

As long as you think you are a brave man, you will never give you any chance to defeat yourself. Bradley was beaten to a pulp by Leonard, and Leonard was still a little unsatisfied.

David Stern came up with the "Generation of Miracles" demon group. This is not only a hint to the SuperSonics, but also a hint to other teams in the league who want to be brave. If you overthrow the Seattle SuperSonics, you will be the king!

This is also the reason why the league is so fierce this season. The SuperSonics have gone 58 in 12 consecutive games, but no team has backed down, and each one is even more excited.

Of course, the devil and the brave have equal opportunities with David Stern.

But in the minds of Rondo and the Supersonic Six, they are certainly the final winners!

Therefore, the regular season MVP is already within their grasp!

Even after being packaged, they are likely to be the MVP of the finals as a whole!

This means that all six of them can reach the peak of honor in their careers this season!

For Yees, personal honors don't matter, but they still matter to other Sonics players.

Especially Rondo, who has always been arrogant.

Damn, his historical status has dropped from the highest level of 13 in 10 years to 19 now. This is something that he has always been ashamed of.

Damn it, he is only one rank higher than James. How can I bear this? !

If he wins the MVP+FMVP again this year, not only will he directly enter the top ten in history, at the very least, he will be able to return to the level before the Luang Por Rebellion 10 years ago!

You can regain respect.

The respected Mr. Long is a master, how could he care about little guys like the Spurs?

Therefore, Rondo, who reappeared in the SuperSonics' starting lineup in this game, did not take too many shots against the young players of the Spurs.

After each score, Rondo would borrow Curry's "squat on the toilet" celebration and run to Popovich to "squat on the toilet."

And one thing Rondo is very talented about is that Curry doesn't flush every time he squats on the toilet, so that his opponents want to beat him to death.

As for Rondo, after squatting in front of Popovich, he would press his thumb on Popovich's face.

Damn it, Yeos and the SuperSonics players were stunned when they saw Rondo's innovation.

It wasn't just Yeos and the Sonics players who were stunned.

Even the commentators and reporters from all over the world on the sidelines and the audience in front of the TV were all stunned.

"This is a group fight action!"

There is no doubt that Rondo meant to provoke a fight by humiliating Popovich in this way.

"If in our era, an opponent dared to do something like this to my head coach, no matter whether I liked the head coach or not, I would walk up to that guy without any hesitation and face him in the face. Just punch the door down!"

Barkley looked at Rondo's continuous celebrations on the court, with a rather surprised expression on his face.

Not only was he surprised by Rondo's resentment towards Popovich, he was also surprised by Popovich's patience.

Faced with this repeated celebration, Popovich always had a smile on his face.

That squinted smile made it difficult to see what Popovich was thinking at this time.

After three years of turmoil, the whole world knows about the grudge between Popovich and Rondo.

Their grudge has gone beyond the ordinary relationship between people. It basically has nothing to do with morality, benevolence and etiquette. Both of them want the other to die, so you still expect them to be polite to each other?

Therefore, no matter whether Rondo does anything to Popovich or Popovich does anything to Rondo, no one will feel that it should not be done, not even Spurs fans.

None of them had any extraordinary anger towards Rondo's insulting action.

They've had enough anger at Rondo over the past three years.

This is understandable.

But what Barkley couldn't understand was...

"The fans can have nothing to say about Rondo's action against Popovich. They have long been tired of everything that has happened between Rondo and Popovich in the past three years. This is understandable."

"But what I can't understand is that none of Popovich's disciples, the five players on the Spurs court, faced Rondo's humiliation of Popovich, and none of them stood up to Rondo. Punch, this is something I can’t understand!”

"It doesn't matter that Mills' status in the team is too low. Bennett, Harris-Barnes, Derrick Favors, Derrick Williams, you are the core players that the Spurs have been focusing on cultivating. You and Mill This is different. You don’t need to worry about the consequences of anything you do on the court. You will not be expelled from the Spurs. You will only be suspended for a few games by the league at most. As long as you show your fists, as long as you show your blood. , you are heroes!"

Barkley is a die-hard coconut fan. Everyone knows this. Even a die-hard coconut fan feels that the Spurs players should seek revenge on Rondo.

A fight is inevitable.

But what stunned Barkley, Kenny Smith next to him, and the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of their televisions.

Until the last moment of the game, no Spurs player stood up and punched Rondo.

"These young Spurs players who have been given hope by the Spurs and given high hopes by Popovich are so weak!"

Finally, Buckley sighed.

At this time, on the big screen, Popovich, who was sitting on the bench, squinting his eyes and smiling, unable to see what he was thinking, walked towards the man who was showing off his power amidst the boos of the audience after the game. In front of Rondo.

For a moment, the whole world's eyes turned over.

"Rajian, congratulations. You won. You are right. My head is indeed broken. It has become so bad that I can't see clearly what is good or what is bad."

Listening to what Popovich said with a smile, he watched Popovich stretch out his hand as if he wanted to shake Rondo's hand.

"Is Popovich admitting defeat?"

While many Spurs fans at the scene were surprised, Popovich, who had originally stretched out his hand slowly, turned his hand into a fist, and landed a hard and fierce uppercut directly at the junction of Rondo's cheek and chin.

An old man who is almost seventy years old knocked a young NBA player to the ground in this circle. You can see how vicious this punch is.

When this scene happened, the Spurs home court, which was originally booed by the audience, was extremely quiet.

What is even more shocking is that Popovich, who defeated Rondo, did not feel happy after taking revenge. After opening his eyes, the smile on his face had turned into a sorrow that was greater than the death of his heart.

Rondo, who was knocked to the ground by a punch, did not get up to take revenge. Instead, he sat on the ground and laughed crazily.

"Old man, you insulted me and I hit you. Now I have insulted you and you hit me. We don't owe each other."

"You're right. In the end, I won, blind old man, hahahaha..."

That laughter was hearty and dripping.

Amid Rondo's laughter, Bowen, who had ditched his wheelchair and limped over to protect Popovich, looked at his mentor in front of him, as if he had aged by more than ten years.

In the aging back of Popovich, Barnes, Bennett, Williams, Favors...the expressions on their faces are still so ancient and unwavering...
