Chapter 435: The Eager Popovich and Old Nelson Where the Gods Are

The game against the Supersonics was extremely fierce!

The Spurs had anticipated the difficulty of this game before the game.

It is said that the Mavericks have been the nemesis of the Spurs in the last two seasons.

But no matter how the Mavericks beat the Spurs, the record of the Spurs and the Mavericks is only 40-60.

The Spurs are only slightly underdog.

But last season, the Spurs and the Sonics were almost astonishingly close to 19!

Since Popovich kicked out Bobby Hill as the head coach himself, he has never been so miserable to a team!

Even if it was the OK Lakers back then, that was the strongest opponent the Spurs had ever encountered. During the three years of OK's three consecutive championships, the Spurs had the worst record against the Lakers, only 6 wins and 13 losses!

6 wins and 13 losses, anyway, there is still a 30% winning rate, which can be regarded as a 30-70 tie with the OK Lakers!

If the Supersonics are a historic team like the OK Lakers, it would be 19-9 with the Supersonics.

But the point is, every time he played against the Sonics, Popovich felt that the Spurs were the stronger one.

Not only he thinks so, but the whole world thinks so.

If you want to say that the strength is obviously inferior to the opponent, it’s okay to be beaten by the opponent on the ground. It’s not that the Spurs have not been beaten like this. In the 01-02 season, they were still with the OK Lakers. The Spurs’ record for the entire season was 2 wins and 7 losses. , Compared with the Sonics' 1 win and 8 losses, it is actually similar.

But the point is, that's the OK Lakers!

It doesn't really matter if you get hit by the OK Lakers 19, 18, 27, but it's really not good to be so humiliated by the Supersonics!

If this situation is not reversed this season, Popovich feels that he can't even do bad things that happily want to cheat others.

Popovich has always felt that last season was so miserable by the Supersonics and Yes, he definitely lost more than just some win-loss relationships.

Every time he saw the picture of the Suns ascending to the top and winning the championship, Popovich felt that this should have belonged to their glory.

This year with Jackson,

With Bowen's contribution, it will not be difficult for the Spurs with a full lineup to beat the Sonics.

But Popovich wants to sweep the Sonics this season to avenge his being messed up last season!

Bowen will be able to pay for the next game between the Spurs and the Supersonics, so he doesn't have to worry about the next game between the Spurs and the Supersonics.

The key is this one!

As long as he wins this game, he can sweep the Sonics this season!

Only by winning this game can he sweep Yes, this game must be won!

The Spurs players have seen Popovich's determination to win this game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yes didn't rest and was on the court with a bunch of Sonics rotation.

Yes has the power of the bench lineup. The Spurs have seen it in the playoffs last season. At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides was two points. Popovich did not dare to let Ginobili lead the team. .

Ginobili met Yes, no easier than Parker met Yes!

When Duncan played a minute at the beginning of the fourth quarter and needed to rest, Parker and Ginobili had to play at the same time to ensure the normal operation of the Spurs' offense.

But even if Parker and Ginobili were on the scene, Popovich was terrified.

Last season, Yes broke Ginobili and Parker in the playoffs too badly!

After Bowen was injured, in the fifth game between the two teams, Yes really beat Parker and Ginobili to the ground!

The ball that Yes killed the game in the last game was Ginobili from behind!

Then he hit the lore in the pursuit and interception of Ginobili and Parker.

The Spurs, led by Ginobili and Parker, can be highly competitive against any player.

Only meeting Yes is very worrying. The most important reason why Yes can play the Spurs is that Yes has too much advantage over Parker and Ginobili.

Yes also maintained this advantage in this game.

When Parker was alone on the court, Parker held the ball and was defended like an eagle catching a chick by Yes's various physical confrontations.

Ginobili was in the same situation as Parker when he was in charge of the court.

When Yes faced the Spurs, he really attacked Parker and Ginobili indiscriminately. No matter who holds the ball, the two will mess with whoever!

Only three minutes into the fourth quarter, Duncan went down to rest for two minutes, and the score on the court has become 96 to 96!

The Sonics have tied the score again!

According to this trend, if Duncan rests for another two minutes, Duncan will no longer have to go up!

In the end, there was no way. Popovich sent Duncan up again when Duncan had only rested for two minutes.

Duncan had already played 33 minutes in this fast-paced game before he entered the game. If the game is finished, Duncan will play 42 minutes.

Duncan's playing time is very long, but anyway, there is a rest in the fourth quarter, and he can recover.

With Duncan's stamina and Milicic's pressure on Duncan, after Duncan returned to the court, he actually felt okay and not so tired.

Now there are many people who are more tired than Duncan on the court. Parker, Ginobili, Stephen Jackson are all more tired than Duncan now.

Parker and Jackson did not rest in the third quarter, and by the time they played three minutes into the fourth quarter, they had played 15 consecutive minutes.

Facing Yes' pursuit now, Parker felt that his legs were not so sharp.

At the beginning of Jackson's game, he could play Durant on the offensive end, but now he can only focus on the defensive end.

The player facing Yes in this game is a player who will be broken by him if he is not careful. Even if his main defensive method in this game is to use snake tactics, he still needs to jump up while Yes keeps jumping up. Interfere with Yes's shot or pass.

Parker and Jackson looked to play the second half as much as Yes.

After Ginobili played in the second half of the third quarter, he also had to play the full fourth quarter.

When Duncan played again, the two teams were tied at 96.

With this score, Popovich didn't dare to let the players go down to rest!

In the absence of Bowen, it is ashamed to say that only the Spurs' main players have an absolute advantage over the Sonics!

"The Spurs got all the main players early!"

"Now the Sonics are still with Yes leading the rotation!"

To switch to last season's playoffs, Yesi would definitely not dare to play the Spurs' main force with a rotation lineup.

He can pinch the Spurs' outside ball-holding point, but the Spurs have Duncan!

Nick Collison certainly can't stop Duncan.

But now the Sonics have Kwame Brown.

Although Kwame Brown is not good at offense and lacks confidence in offense, on the defensive end, Kwame Brown is quite useful.

And Kwame Brown's fighting spirit has been much stronger recently than when he first came to the Sonics.

When he first came to the Supersonics, Kwame Brown's hidden mission was to "play God's spokesperson", and his mind was full of the idea of ​​wanting to fuck Jordan once.

Now Kwame Brown's hidden mission is "get out of my life", and the idea in his head has become the shape of other Supersonic players, trying to get Durant away.

The task of "Get out of my life" is very tricky. As long as Ye Si gets Durant out of the Supersonics, he can get a reward of 10 players from the Supersonics.

But the point is, it is impossible for Ye Si to do this.

It's cool to have Durant by my side. I really don't understand if I haven't experienced it.

He was really reluctant to get Durant away, and it would be best for Durant to stay by his side and be a happy little blacksmith.

In this case, Kwame Brown's assimilation left Yeth with one less person to complete the task, which is very pitiful.

But at the same time, this also means that Kwame Brown has completely integrated into the supersonic group.

If he doesn't really regard the Sonics as his own, whether Durant will leave or not has nothing to do with him.

Unless it is someone like Sessions who is friends with Durant, or someone like Rondo who has a higher goal than driving Durant away.

In Rondo's mind, driving Durant away is only in second place.

With the help of Kwame Brown at the center position, Yeth is entangled with the Spurs' full main force with confidence and the Sonics' rotation.

Being at a disadvantage is definitely at a disadvantage, but you can have the power to fight.

However, after Duncan played, the difference between the two sides widened again.

Now the Sonics players on the field are center Kwame Brown, power forward David Lee, small forward Quentin Richardson, shooting guard Wilkins, and point guard Yeth.

This rotation lineup is not weak, relatively speaking, it is already very good.

Kwame Brown has the ability to start in the NBA, David Lee is the starter for the Sonics, Quentin Richardson and Wilkins both have the ability to start in the NBA.

Seeing this lineup, many reporters on the sidelines felt that the Sonics' rotation in the fourth quarter might be stronger than the Sonics' starting lineup.

It's just that they don't understand why the old Nelson abandoned Millsap and Barea in the fourth quarter.

Barea's current defensive ability is indeed not suitable for such a high-intensity and high-confrontation game.

But what about Millsap?

Millsap didn't understand it himself.

He is very worried now.

His performance in the Sonics this season is very good. As a substitute rotation lineup, Millsap's data in the Sonics this season is 9 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 assist per game. This is his average of 21 minutes per game. Time to get it.

Among these statistics, his offensive rebounds averaged 4.5 per game!

It can be said that he is the best performer in the Sonics rotation this season.

And he is also the main support for Yes to focus on training Durant. Most of his offensive rebounds are assisted by Durant.

Logically speaking, he should have played in the fourth quarter of this game.

Is Coach Nelson dissatisfied with my performance in this game?

But it’s not right, I didn’t have any problems with my performance in this game. In the first 15 minutes of playing, I scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

Both the offensive state and the defensive state are quite good.

Coach Nelson has no reason to be dissatisfied with me?

Since Coach Nelson is not dissatisfied with me, it is...

Thinking of this, Millsap's face became excited!

Could it be? !

Millsap looked eagerly at Rondo beside him.

Is Coach Nelson going to use me in this game like Rajon, standing beside Yes to play critical moments? !

"What are you looking at!"

Forehead.

"A little excited, hehe"

Millsap scratched his head honestly.

Excited Nima!

Something is wrong!

Can't you see that the second master is upset now?

The entire supersonic, except for the second master and the ninth master, are a bunch of psychopaths!

Looking at the score slowly being stretched on the court, Rondo is now feeling very uncomfortable.

He believed that Du Shiwu and Milicic were also suffering from suffocation now.

These two guys and he are now competing for the position of the second head of the Sonics has reached a fever pitch.

The second master is not interested in the position of the supersonic second child at all.

The end of the second master is the boss of the supersonic speed after all.

But the second master doesn't want to be the second son of the Supersonic, and he must not let Du Shiwu and Milicic take it away!

Especially Du Shiwu!

The supersonic's second child can't be given to Durant by a dog!

His data in this game is very good. He sent 12 assists in the first half and 16 assists in the first three quarters!

In this game, he is preparing to hit his career assist record in a single game.

This is still off the field by the head coach, what does this mean?

Second master wants to play now, wants to play!

Rondo screamed in his heart.

But in the middle of the fourth quarter, Rondo was still not replaced after the official timeout.

The equally eager Durant, Milicic and Millsap were also left out.

Excited, really excited!

After entering the second half of the fourth quarter, Popovich is really excited now.

The difference between the two teams is still widening!

Originally, he thought that after the suspension in the fourth quarter, the Supersonics would be full-time.

Unexpectedly, the Sonics are still rotating the lineup.

The difference between the two sides seems to be close to ten points!

Um?

Just when Popovich was excited about the victory he had been looking forward to for half a year, watching the Supersonic players on the court, under the leadership of Yes, still calmly put pressure on the Spurs players. When the intensity was high, Popovich's instinctive sense of crisis made him seem to think of something.

"This is the teacher's plan for the fourth quarter?!"

Thinking of this, the expression on Popovich's face has been constantly changing.

He wasn't very sure before, but now it's the second half of the fourth quarter, and the teacher is still not the main force of the Sonics. This is too obvious!

"I'm so eager to win this game!"

Popovich looked at the situation on the court, looked at the Spurs players whose legs were already getting heavier, and the excitement on his face was gone, replaced by solemnity!

Kwame Brown, David Lee, Quentin Richardson, Wilkins, Yes, this is a very strong lineup!

It's also a really good expendable lineup!

"Teacher thought that by exchanging points difference for consumption, he would be able to turn defeat into victory?!"

"Does the teacher think you and your team have so much time?"

This is a gamble!

Thinking of this, Popovich finally calmed down.

The teacher likes to gamble, and he likes to gamble too, let's see who is the final winner now!

Just as Popovich was thinking, on the court, Duncan beat Kwame Brown successfully, 116 to 106!

The Spurs in the away game opened the gap between the two sides to 10 points with 3 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game.

The Sonics again requested a timeout.
