Popovich received a call from Duncan, so he drove to Duncan's home, Duncan squared his injured leg on the coffee table, and was waiting for Popovich in the living room, after a few simple small talks between the two, Duncan said: "Coach Pop, I received a call from Tiger Washington a few days ago, he sincerely invited me to Los Angeles for treatment, I think you also know that this year the Clippers have improved the team's team doctor and established a very advanced medical room, which is also one of the factors for their good results this year, I thought maybe I could get the best treatment there.

"The Clippers? Our first round opponent in this year's playoffs is the Clippers, and maybe that's a test to do so. Popovich was a little surprised when he heard Duncan's words, and he thought that Duncan was looking for him to negotiate a contract.

"Pope, I know Tiger, he's a very simple guy, he's a guy who never lies, even if he hates you, maybe tell you very clearly, and my injuries are known all over the country, and I've missed the last few games of the team, so there's nothing to be tested here."

"Hmmm! Tiger Washington? I remember, you were teammates in college, and I think you've always had a good relationship! ”

"Yes, it was a time that you will never forget, everything was great! Including the feelings between us. Duncan mentioned his college days, and he unconsciously brought a soft smile on his face.

"That's it!" Popovich thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "In that case, you should go to Los Angeles!" I'm sure Tiger Washington will take care of everything for you, and I've heard that their medical room is the best in the world right now, and I'd like to have a chance to see it, and I want to see a healthy you, which I think is really good news. ”

Duncan thought that Popovich would agree, but Popovich's current expression was something he didn't expect, and at this moment Popovich was like a kind father, who heard the good news and was wholeheartedly happy for his child, so Duncan was a little confused.

Popovich is more intelligent than Duncan imagined, when he suddenly heard that Duncan was going to Los Angeles for treatment, Popovich first thought of Duncan's contract issue, but then immediately thought of the situation of the two teams in Los Angeles, he was relieved, Los Angeles has two teams, Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, Lakers have O'Neal and Kobe, Clippers have Tiger Washington, the existence of these three people means that Duncan cannot appear in the team in Los Angeles, there are too many factors here, As long as you understand this, Popovich looks at this matter again, it is much simpler, since the medical level of the Clippers is better, and Duncan is also willing to go to Los Angeles for treatment, then agree, so that there is no time for the San Antonio Spurs, and Duncan can still win Duncan's favor, Duncan has not renewed his contract with the San Antonio Spurs, the reason for this is that Popovich is very clear that many teams in the NBA want to get Duncan, but there is no name of the Los Angeles Clippers in these teams.

Popovich, who figured it out, expressed his goodwill, and it did increase Duncan's favor, after Duncan said goodbye to Popovich, accompanied by Amy, came to Los Angeles, Tiger personally went to the airport to pick them up, in the past few days when Duncan was injured, the Clippers have ended all the regular season games, and they finally achieved a 53-29 record, which is the same record as the San Antonio Spurs in 4th, but is in 5th place because of the win-loss relationship, and the last 4 games of the San Antonio Spurs, Because of the lack of Duncan, the performance was not good, and the Clippers tied the record in the last moments, and the Clippers will also take the lead in the first round to the home court of the San Antonio Spurs for the first game of the first round of the playoffs.

The day after Duncan arrived in Los Angeles, Tiger took Duncan to the Clippers' training hall and gave Duncan a comprehensive examination here, and the Clippers' medical team knew the news in advance, so soon after the results of the examination came out, the treatment plan was discussed, and Duncan accepted the plan and stayed at Tiger's home in Los Angeles and began to receive treatment.

However, the photo of Tiger appearing at the airport to pick up Duncan and take Duncan to the Clippers' training gym soon appeared in the newspapers, and as expected, it immediately caused a sensation, Duncan will join the Los Angeles Clippers as a free agent next season.
