Chapter 961: Duncan, a Somewhat Grumpy Lately!
The regular season game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs is very much in the spotlight.
The Seattle SuperSonics are now first in the West, and the Spurs are third from the bottom in the West, and the two teams are not at the same level in terms of rankings.
But when the two teams of Spurs and SuperSonics face each other, how can they be defined by rankings?
It can be said that the supersonic and Spurs are definitely the most talked-about group of opponents in the West in the past five years.
From the time when supersonic was still in the era of Ray Allen, supersonic and Spurs have been at odds.
The main thing is that Ray Allen's supersonic speed was pitted a little badly by Bowen's spurs.
After that, when it came to Yes's supersonic, the Spurs were a little miserable.
After Yees came to the SuperSonics, the Spurs and the SuperSonics have played more than 20 games in the regular season and playoffs together in recent years.
In the past three years, the Spurs have been known as the strongest Spurs in the history of the Spurs, but every time they encounter the supersonics, whether it is due to luck or other reasons, they basically do not take any advantage.
With an absolute advantage in strength, the Spurs won the SuperSonics twice in the regular season in these three seasons.
In the playoffs, the Spurs and the SuperSonics met twice in the past three years, all of which ended in failure.
Last season, the Spurs played what is known as the worst defeat in basketball history.
This failure directly led to Bowen, who is known as one of the best defensive players in NBA history, quitting the NBA with great remorse.
According to the national media's rendering before the start of this game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs.
Supersonic is the mortal enemy of the Spurs.
How do these media experts and journalists shout their slogans?
Although the thorn is down to three, the sound of death will be stabbed!
Even if the Spurs can't get into this year's playoffs, even if the Spurs are going to mess up this year, even if the Spurs lose all the matches this year, they will go all out in the face of the supersounds, and the Spurs and Popovich are definitely going to hit Yes in the face, and hit the supersonic in the face!
It is impossible for the Spurs to avenge their results this season and slap the SuperSonics in the face.
Now the strength of the Spurs is also not expected that they can beat the Sonics.
But a slap in the face Yes slap in the face of supersonic, and it is not necessary to beat supersonic.
As long as Rondo is not the scoring leader of this game in the game, then you can slap the face Yes in the face of the Supersonics.
Let Popovich take this Spurs without Bowen and soulless to defeat the SuperSonics, this is indeed difficult for Popovich, but let Popovich find a way to defend Rondo, that is not difficult for the strongman, right?
If you can't do that, then don't talk about the NBA's No. 1 hard power head coach.
And Rondo's strength is so rubbish, you can't get Rondo as the head coach of the NBA's No. 1 hard power, and you're embarrassed to be the No. 1 head coach with hard power, right?
This match between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, in terms of the ranking of the game, does not mean much.
But the attention of this game is really amazing.
The match between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs is on November 17, and on this day, there are still many strong teams playing.
There is even a battle between the former strong team Rockets and the Suns, Lakers, Heat, Cavaliers, Warriors, Bulls, Thunder, Clippers, these hot teams have also played.
But the combined attention of these games may not be as high as that of the SuperSonics and Spurs.
Even after the previous games, Kobe Nash, James Wade, O'Neal Delon, Beasley Curry, Paul Griffin, Yang Shaowei, everyone ended the game interview as soon as possible, returned to the locker room, and turned on the TV.
If you want to slap the face in the face from the level where Birondo scores more, Kobe, Iverson, Anthony, Nick Young and other superstars can do it.
But tactically, there aren't many managers in the league who can do that by lowering Rondo's score down and slapping him in the face.
For Rondo, many managers are very hesitant and don't know what kind of defensive strategy to use.
It's like running to the NBA with a schoolboy, you know this schoolboy is weak, but he can always shoot and score, what defensive strategy do you think you should use?
So, a lot of people are curious about what kind of defensive strategy Popovich will come up with for these head coaches in the league.
Seriously, don't say it's these people.
Ye Si was actually very curious.
With such public opinion before this game, if Popovich was not the head coach of the U.S. team, he probably didn't care.
But since he is the head coach of the American team, no matter where Romar doesn't want it or whatever, in short, since Popovich is the head coach of the Dream Team, he has actually become the leader of the American coaching community, whether it is to prove that his position is justified, or to mend his lost prestige.
He's going to do it against Rondo in this game.
Yes now really regrets saying that he made Rondo the most successful scoring champion.
He really underestimated Rondo's confidence and cheekiness.
He felt that he needed to give Rondo more trust in order to make Rondo realize how strong he was and to be able to score more resolutely.
From now on, he doesn't actually need to give Rondo such a beating, Rondo's own self-confidence is enough to go crazy with him.
Even if he doesn't say that Rondo can be the NBA's most successful scoring champion.
Rondo also genuinely believes he can be the top scorer.
He wasn't afraid of being slapped in the face.
The point is, this makes Rondo the target of public criticism.
Popovich is not a good person, and some strategies that other coaches can't use against Rondo, Popovich will not have a little psychological barrier to use.
Yes is now very sure that Popovich will not let Rondo go in this game.
It was definitely not an easy game for Rondo.
November 17, 2009, Key Arena, Seattle.
This game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is about to take place.
For supersonic fans, the Spurs will always be a special teammate.
Five years ago, when the supersonic was killed by the Spurs, they really didn't expect that in just five years, they would be able to complete a counterattack against the Spurs.
When the SuperSonics and Spurs met, it was the first time that the rankings of the two sides were so 'disparity'.
And the reason for the disparity is that the supersonic speed is too high and the Spurs are too low.
This makes the supersonic fans very excited and excited.
"Every time the Seattle SuperSonics meet the Spurs, the game doesn't disappoint!"
Listening to the frantic cheers of the supersonic fans at the scene, Barkley said with a smile.
"This season's Spurs without Bowen do have a lot of problems, Bowen has a great role in the Spurs, coupled with the change in the overall style of the league now poses more challenges to the Spurs, if last season's Spurs are the strongest Spurs in history, then this season's Spurs are definitely the toughest Spurs, although not the weakest Spurs, and the Seattle SuperSonics, their record and performance this season are incredible."
Although yes and supersonic are not supported, Kenny Smith can't say anything against his will when it comes to Yes and Supersonic's performance this season.
Especially now that he is listening to the sound of Rondo's iron on the court, he can't say anything against Yes.
For such a player to be the top scorer in the league and his team to be the first in the league, how strong is it and what a good performance?
It's not fifteen, it's the second, that's right.
"You are all arguing about who is the first coconut powder between Buckley Pippen and me, I can tell you very responsibly, the first coconut powder in this world is Rondo, Buckley and Pippen are rendering themselves as the first coconut powder, they need very excited words and emotions, and I need a lot of rendering words, our language and words are sometimes too beautiful, it will make you feel disgusting, don't believe it, but Rajon Rondo, he doesn't have to say it, he doesn't have to write, he just needs to raise his hand, You will be able to hear his highest praise of Yes, and you will be convinced. ”
I really believe it.
Many people say that TNT's live broadcast of Rondo's shooting training before the game is the highest praise for Yes.
That's true.
Rondo's pre-game shooting drills are now the most interesting and watched training program in sports around the world.
It's not just the audience who is watching the commentary.
Popovich is also watching very seriously now.
As one of the best head coaches in the NBA, he never imagined that he would one day target a player like defense!
It's not that he likes to explode foul language, it's really incredible.
It is said that Yes supported Rondo to win the scoring title this season, which is a mockery of other scorers in the entire league.
But in his opinion, it is also a mockery of other coaches throughout the league.
I'm just going to support a garbage player who you once disdained to develop special tactics for him, and I want to see if you will let go of your pride and develop special defensive tactics for him.
As the head coach of the NBA, it is really impossible to develop a special strategy for a player who is almost a schoolboy on the offensive end.
It's okay if you can really defend, but if you can't defend with your special defensive tactics, it's simply ruining your own job and becoming a laughing stock.
And this is also the reason why there is no shortage of famous commanders in front of the supersonic opponents, but these famous coaches are tacitly ignoring Rondo.
For the head coach Rondo is now a foul of foul mouth, not to mention sticky, even if he gets close, he will make himself stinky all over, the best choice is to ignore him, no matter how he scores.
Anyway, Rondo can score 40 points in a game, you don't let Rondo take it, with Yes's organizational ability, Yes can also let other people take it, and other people may take more.
That's right, the head coaches in the league have come to a consensus.
That is, they support their own team's players to score points with the goal of scoring points with Rondo.
But it will definitely not be aimed at Rondo's score.
This is the best option.
If it weren't for the moral kidnapping of these bad guys, he wouldn't care about Rondo, out of sight.
But who made him the head coach of the Dream Team, and who made him lose so badly in the playoffs last season.
Now Rondo's pre-game shooting drills seem to be telling him that I'm poop, but even if you know that I'm poop and know that I'm stinky, you still run over weirdly to study why I stink so much.
Thinking about this, Popovich was very uncomfortable, very, very uncomfortable.
His chest felt as if it had exploded.
As the only person in the entire league who will target Rondo this season, Popovich has made this game, and even all of the Spurs' games against the SuperSonics in this series, the most humiliating game of his career.
It's the kind of game that you have to forget after playing.
TM's!
Well?
Ginobili, who was sitting on the bench, thought he was delusional.
As soon as the game started, Bobo scolded the street?
As soon as the game started, Bobo was angry?
It seems that Bobo's mood has not been very good in the past two days?
Speaking of which, should Spurs get off to a good start today?
It's been a long time since I've seen Tim beat an opponent with a jump ball.
I have to say that after Milicic, one of the strongest jumpers in the league last season, became a mobile pork belly essence, he really sent warmth to the veterans of the NBA.
Duncan himself was a little surprised.
Surprise to surprise, Duncan didn't relent.
Now the game against the SuperSonics is without Bruce, the Spurs are the dogs, there is no such opportunity to waste, and every opportunity must be seized.
After receiving a pass from outside the three-point line to Parker, who was cornered by Yes, Duncan hurriedly distributed the ball to Kiith Bogans from outside the three-point line.
This is the replacement for Bruce that the Spurs have found this season, and the oval and oval boiled egg is very similar to Bruce's touch, but the level of this offense, he wants to scold GAI when he sees it.
He admits that he has been a bit irritable lately.
But, he still has to say!
CTMD's Bogans threw it early outside the three-point line, isn't it over!
Although Bogans had some superfluous drawings, he had the ability to make three-point shots, and he had to take a step to face the defender's difficult pull-up jump shot without shooting in the open space.
But it was a hit.
It was also a relief to Duncan.
Now the Spurs' record, the current situation of the Spurs, he is really under pressure.
He had never faced Spurs so badly in his career.
He needs to make up for it everywhere, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, but there is only one of them, and he is still old......
Duncan, who was relieved on the offensive end.
Back on the defensive end, seeing the team's best defensive player on the perimeter right now, Stephen Jackson put down Yees and ran in front of Rondo.
Flower Q!
This time it's not scolding gai in my heart, it's a direct scolding!
In order to win a game, he has worked so hard, so hard, but the team still has to be disturbed like this!
Nima's, Rondo also has Jackson's dedicated past defense!
Jackson went to Rondona, did Yes and Durant give Tony and Bogans a shiver?
He was already struggling with Blair on the inside, Milicic and Millsap.
Now he needs to help defend Durant and Yes......
Duncan's heart was dripping blood.
Popovich on the sidelines was also bleeding from his heart.
Now he is so poor that he can't wait to break a dollar in half, but now, he took 10 yuan to buy a lump of poop!
Brush it up!
Watching the ball thrown by Rondo dodge Jackson's fingers into the net, Popovich on the sidelines slowly opened his mouth wide.
What's more uncomfortable than buying a piece of poop for the precious 10 yuan is that if you are not careful, this piece of poop will be directly pasted on your face......
