I don't know why, every time I play against the SuperSonics, before the game, I always give Popovich a very stable feeling.

From Yes's first season in the NBA, when the Spurs met the SuperSonics, and from every game in both the regular season and the playoffs, Popovich felt that his team should be a sure winner.

Even after that, during those extremely dark years, Popovich now looks back on the time when he felt good about himself before the game started.

Why do you feel so good about yourself every time you face Yes and face the supersound?

Popovich once had such doubts.

Because every time I feel good about myself, there are always inexplicable losses and tragedies.

Thirty-five seconds and 13 minutes, ten consecutive kills and a series of miserable background moments.

But anyone who has experienced his encounter with Spurs in the past few years will doubt life.

It feels good every time, but the end result is always so embarrassing.

As long as there is no problem with IQ, they will wonder if there is something wrong with it.

As for what exactly went wrong, Popovich has not yet found an answer.

It's just that for him, whether he has found the answer or not is not so important now.

Now, at last, it's time to get rid of the darkness and enjoy the light and victory!

Popovich, who sat on the bench as head coach of the Spurs, looked at the players on both sides on the court, with a smile of confidence, pride and excitement written on his face.

It's just that his smile made Ginobili, who was sitting next to him, a little cautious.

Popovich rarely didn't want to stand on the sidelines and direct the game.

It's really not that friendly to Ginobili.

In this playoffs, the Spurs are very brave, and he and Parker have been beaten.

Bobo has also played a blow dryer on him and Parker more than once.

Although I have always been under a lot of pressure against Bobo, it has been extraordinarily strong lately.

Fortunately, because of Master, although his performance in the face of Yes was still quite bad, the team was able to win and the team was about to advance, so he could barely worry about the greater pressure he faced after losing.

Of course, Popovich, who was enjoying the victory and felt that it might be better to have a glass of red wine at this time, naturally didn't care how much pressure Ginobili next to him was at this time.

For an amiable person like him, others can feel the pressure from him, it is definitely not his problem, he is not fierce or evil, it must be the problem of these people themselves.

I have a hairy relationship with him.

He's going to be graceful in this match, he's going to be like his old rival Phil Jackson to go for the greatest victory!

When he used to play against Phil Jackson, the most unbearable thing for him was to hold a card like OK in his hand, and pretend to be an elegant Phil Jackson next to him.

Now that I've felt it, it's a really good feeling.

and his own sideline and referee squeezing and staring at each other are two completely different styles.

Popovich really didn't expect that a person like himself, who likes to worry about the team, would have such an elegant day.

It's like he never thought that one day, he would play on the pitch on offense.

He never thought that one day, because he was going to sweep Yes, so those who hated him very much, those who used to describe him as the worst person in the NBA, actually described him as a kind old man recently.

Hehe, Bobo is a kind old man, if someone described him like this five years ago, he would definitely be laughed at and his big teeth would be laughed out, and he would be embarrassed himself.

Time is really the most wonderful thing in the world.

Just like ten years ago, when those who thought Jordan was the greatest player of all ages and in the future, they never thought Yes would come out of nowhere.

Time is magical, and time is wonderful.

Especially when you're enjoying a win, time is the most wonderful aftertaste.

Because knowing that this game is a must-win game.

So even if Tim lost again when he saw the jump ball, and it was still a very miserable loss, there was not the slightest worry and unhappiness on his face, and some of them were still graceful smiles, the elegant smiles of the winners.

Nelson Sr. was desperate, and that was the judgment he made when he saw this starting lineup of the SuperSonics before the game began.

In fact, after the start of the game, the content of the game was almost identical to his judgment.

In each of the first three games, Yes has been dealing with Bruce in one way in one game.

Slow down your shooting speed, sit in the low post and play back, and in the third game, you can block and shoot with teammates from unlimited mid-range.

In this game, Popovich wants to see what kind of means Yes will have.

In the end, Popovich was disappointed when he saw Yes' first attack of the game.

Yes did not use any other means.

Yes's first offense was a pick-and-roll with Milicic, but Bruce's defense was so good that he didn't give Yes a chance to block and play big, but went up to get in front of Yes again.

In this offense and defense, Bruce's perfect defensive skills were once again vividly reflected.

Although in the end, Yes hit from mid-range.

But just as Duncan wasn't worried about losing the jump ball, yes didn't worry about his mid-range hits.

"Yes has no other means, Yes is also desperate, Yes has begun to use the methods of defeat that he has repeated in the past!"

Even!

Popovich can guess that Yes has no new approach to this game, and may use a mix of the last three games.

Such a Yes reminded Popovich of a very, very interesting story.

Three cups of 25 degrees water, poured together, how many degrees is this glass of water?

Hehe.

Looking at the cheering crowd around you, many people may want to believe that three glasses of water mixed together are 75 degrees.

But in fact, it's still 25 degrees!

Of course, this is the first offensive attack of the SuperSonics in this game, and it is still unclear whether Yes is really a mixture of three means against Bruce.

However, it didn't make Popovich wait longer, and when the Supersonic attacked for the second time, the smile on Popovich's face was even brighter when he saw Yes on the court sitting under the basket.

And Ginobili, who had been paying attention to Popovich's mood and emotions next to him, was a little dumbfounded at this time.

How did the level of Bobo Smiling Tiger reach such a level?

Yes hit!

Yes hits, but Bobo laughs!

And the smile is so bright, so infiltrating!

That's scary, isn't it?

Well, if Popovich, who thinks he thinks he laughs elegantly, knows that someone around him says that his smile is crazy, he will definitely be unhappy.

Of course, Popovich certainly didn't know.

Judging a game is the most basic skill of a manager.

And a successful manager is often a person who successfully predicts the trend of the game.

Popovich felt that he was a successful manager in this game.

He predicted the desperation of Nelson Sr., and he predicted the desperation of Yes.

What could be happier when two of the toughest opponents were beaten to despair by him?

Of course not!

So, time is the most wonderful aftertaste!

Just like people who like to watch Ling Chi, the mood of people who are Ling Chi is very different, every knife and every second is not long and painful, but wonderful!

"The competition is still very intense, but Yes and Nielsen have no choice!"

"The current situation is very, very bad for supersound!"

In the Lakers' locker room, everyone was watching the game intently at this time.

Phil Jackson's words made the Lakers players around them subconsciously nod.

28-29, which was the score of the first quarter of this game, the Seattle SuperSonics on their home court, trailed the Spurs by one point in the first quarter.

The score looks like it's close.

In fact, it's very, very close.

It seems that the superSonics also have a chance to win.

If on the face of it, it really is.

But!

If we talk about the first three games between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, except for the SuperSonics before the foul tactics, the two teams did not have the largest score difference of more than 5 points 1 minute before the end of the game, but in the end the Spurs won.

Is it possible to look at the small score of the first quarter of the game between the two teams in a different way?

In the first three games, why after each end, Popovich emphasized that the game was intense, but it was the Spurs who won.

That's why!

"It's a moat!"

A moat that no matter how hard Yes struggles, he can't get over!

In a sense, this kind of moat is more desperate than those large-scale massacres.

No one in this world knows better than he, Phil Jackson, what a terrible thing this kind of metaphysical moat is.

In the 1997 Finals, that year's Finals, the Jazz's momentum and prestige were extremely high before the game.

A lot of people felt that Jazz was going to be king that year.

But in the end, the king is still the bull!

Why?

There were a total of six finals games that year, and three of them were won or lost within three points, and the Bulls won all of these three games where one goal decided the outcome of the game!

Three games and as hell as hell, two points were won in each game!

For the bulls, of course, it was excitement and excitement.

But for the Jazz, how fearful and powerless will they be when they face these three games?

Three games with a difference of two points, all lost!

Victory is in sight, but you can't reach it!

This is the moat!

How similar the three games ahead of the SuperSonics and Spurs were to those three games between the Bulls and the Jazz!

This is a resemblance that makes no sense to be spoken.

Of course, the trench between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is much larger than the trench between the Jazz and the Bulls.

So don't look at the two teams at the moment, it seems that everyone has a chance to win, but when the game comes to an end, when the result comes out, the whole world will suddenly understand.

Of course, it dawned on him before the end of the game.

No, it's not just him......

"A good game always brings back a lot of wonderful memories!"

Looking at the 53-55 score at the end of the half, Jordan took a hard puff of the cigar in his hand, and his mind was full of fierce memories of the game eight years ago.

In the first half of this game, Yes played well.

It should be said that it is still excellent and it is hard to think, beating Bowen in the fourth game in a row!

At the very least, in the first half, Yes proved once again that he can beat Bowen, and not in two or three games, or even if he is given a chance, four, five, six, seven!

Yes proved that he was the only player in basketball history who could maintain such an offensive advantage over Bowen, but he didn't have a chance to beat Bowen for the fifth, sixth, or seventh time in a row.

"After this game, Yes will be as desperate as Carl and John!"

Jordan still can't forget the desperate eyes of that King Shan, Malone and Stockton, as well as Jazz fans.

Because, that was the third game they lost by two points!

It's like being cursed!

Now, this team, which seems to be cursed by God, has become supersonic, and the man who has been cursed by God has become Yes!

The first half of the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs was very intense, and this kind of intensity was really, really heart-wrenching.

Supersonic fans in the stands, coconut fans in front of the TV, this is the fourth time they have watched such a fierce game!

"Basketball is a game of 10 people running around the court and the Spurs win!"

At the end of the third game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, Pippen, who has been saying a lot of money lately, said an extremely popular golden sentence.

For the fans who came to accompany the SuperSonics and Yes on their final ride, they really would rather it be a game of slaughter by the Spurs.

I don't want to watch such a heart-wrenching game for them and even more heart-wrenching for Yes!

After watching three of these games, they really didn't want to watch the fourth.

But after the start of the third quarter, the game was still at this pace!

So much so that at the end of the third quarter of the game, looking at the score of 81-82 on the court, many supersonic fans, especially female fans, had already covered their faces and cried.

It's a very, very strange scenario.

A team is only one point behind, but the fans of this team are so desperate!

But anyone who has followed the SuperSonics and the Spurs over the past three games can understand why they are the way they are.

"In the past three games, the SuperSonics have never led the Spurs after each game except for the first two minutes!"

"In the third quarter of the game, the score was only one point behind, and the supersonic fans appeared!"

Kenny Smith is thrilled!

Popovich was also excited!

Be elegant, don't be reckless, I'm Philpopovich tonight!

Half an hour later......

Tonight, the graceful Popovich stood on the sidelines with his mouth wide open, staring at the last beat of the live scoreboard.

Jordan, who enjoyed the taste of the victory cigar and the wonderful memories, stared blankly at the score played on the TV, not realizing that the room had become more hot and hot.

As for Kenny Smith, who was still excited just now, he has now lost his voice like the audience.

It's just that the audience at the scene lost their voices for a moment, and after that was a booming explosion!

And Kenny Smith is completely silent!

108 to 107!

Yes home defeat Spurs!

The Seattle SuperSonics pulled one back at home!
