Chapter 156: Popovich's helplessness
Rodman looked at Tiger's changing face, didn't say more, knew that Tiger had thought of it, turned his head and continued to look at the game on the field, he was moved by Tiger said, he wanted to try to change, it's a good idea to be a head coach, now he is in the learning stage, and this game has too much he needs to learn, Bilfitch's advance calculations, Popovich's on-the-spot changes, in a short period of time, Popovich made targeted changes, which is not something that ordinary head coaches can do, The direct conversation between the two championship coaches is so much to learn for him.

Tiger doesn't think about playing anymore, based on the memory of the San Antonio Spurs in his head, Tiger is really honest this time, although the current San Antonio Spurs have been criticized' Aging', but these players on the team are all veteran ballwards of the league, Duncan's behavior of hugging him just now, now that I think about it carefully, it is not just to stop him, why not protect him in it, if the sliding dunk just now is successful, Popovich or those old ballwards of the San Antonio Spurs will do what kind of thing, it is really difficult to predict.
"Hey! I'm still too stupid! It's so simple! It seems that Tim wanted to leave San Antonio last year, and it was not for nothing! Tiger, who figured it out, looked at the game on the field with his head in his hand and sighed.
Rodman, who was sitting on the side, heard everything in his ears, but did not reply, but a touch of an intriguing smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, and he continued to study seriously.
Soon the third quarter of the game ended, the San Antonio Spurs, who worked hard for a quarter, still did not recover the score, Coach Popovich was a little irritable, there was no problem with his targeted tactics, the San Antonio Spurs did have a great breakthrough in offense, and now although the field is good-looking, it still can't change the team's passive situation, and has never been able to erase the point difference, he is deeply aware that there is an obvious gap in the strength of the two teams, but this is also the point he is most unwilling to admit, Is there really no hope for this season?
Popovich stood on the sidelines, glanced at the players who were sitting on the stool waiting for him to arrange tactics, shook his head, now is not the time to think about this problem, what he has to do now is to finish this game, even if he loses in the end, he can't let the team's momentum and confidence have problems, otherwise he will fight for the first place in the league. Wait a minute! First in the league? What did Popovich suddenly think? Turning his head to look at the Los Angeles Clippers bench, Bill Fitch was standing on the sidelines like him, calmly talking to the assistant coach and not arranging any tactics, and the Clippers players sat together laughing and chatting, as if they were not worried about winning or losing the game at all.
On the bench of the Clippers, from left to right, sat Rodman, Tiger Washington, Wright, Jason Green, Billups, Ginobili, Stephen Jackson, Jermaine O'Neal, Ragabel, Bruce Bowen, Michael Reed, Wang Zhizhi, Skinner, all 13 players, and all the players they played in the league this seasonIf you don't look at this team closely, you will ignore a lot of problems, but after really looking closely, you feel frustrated, in the league, that team doesn't have one or two garbage contracts, including the San Antonio Spurs, but the current Los Angeles Clippers are surprisingly not at all.
"This team's lineup, just pull out one, can get a good position in the current San Antonio Spurs, right? This manager of the Los Angeles Clippers is really capable! Popovich muttered to himself.
With their youth and strength, there should be hope for them to break the Chicago Bulls' best regular season record in the league, right? It should be no problem to win at least 70 wins, no! There must be a problem here, how can they just have one more win than us? "Wall gave me the schedule. Fast! Popovich suddenly looked up and said to his assistant coach.
The assistant coach didn't understand, the fourth quarter of the game was about to start, and now at this time, Coach Popovich didn't arrange tactics and look at the schedule, but he also knew Popovich's temper, and didn't say much, quickly found out the schedule and handed it to Popovich.
"Bilfitch, you bastard, I'm f. k your whole family, you ......" After Popovich got the schedule, he used a pen to mark out the recent games of the Los Angeles Clippers, and after reading it carefully, he couldn't help but scold, and the players of the San Antonio Spurs all heard it, and looked at the angry Popovich with some confusion, I don't know why.
Who is Popovich? Although he is a halfway head coach, he is also a coach who has won the NBA championship, not to mention that in the second half of the regular season, he took the initiative to select opponents in the playoffs and rotated players in the game, these are his usual methods, before he was too focused on the Los Angeles Lakers, a strong opponent, and did not seriously study the Los Angeles Clippers, to be honest, Popovich didn't pay much attention to the Los Angeles Clippers before, thinking that no matter how strong they are, there is still a big gap with the Los Angeles Lakers, but this game made him understand, He underestimated the strength of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Just now, he inadvertently looked at the Los Angeles Clippers bench, trying to find out the breakthrough point in the fourth quarter, but at a glance, a terrible idea flashed in his mind, and after comparing it with the schedule, Popovich determined that his idea was indeed not wrong, he was played by that bastard of Billfish! The Los Angeles Clippers have achieved their current record, not by luck, but deliberately, Bill Fish, the old hooligan, is using the San Antonio Spurs to train the young players of the Los Angeles Clippers, how can Popovich not scold his mother after figuring it out? One is that he selects opponents and uses others to train players, when did he become someone else's sparring partner?
Popovich, who figured it out, was very angry, but after getting angry, he was deeply helpless. Yes, helpless! Even if the San Antonio Spurs know that this is a conspiracy, they can't change it, if they don't fight for the first place in the league, they will meet the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the playoffs, and they only have a home-court advantage to keep the second place in the West, and they have no way out except for the first place in the league, even if they lose all from now on and fall to the fourth place in the West, it will not help them, because the fourth in the West will meet the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round, which is no better than meeting the Los Angeles Lakers.
Popovich suddenly felt a sense of helpless decadence! (To be continued.) )
