Chapter 1168: Rondo and Popovich, Fist to fist collision!
Before the game against the Spurs, Rondo was really quite excited.
Because of the special relationship between Rondo and the Spurs, before the start of this game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, everyone is focused on the feud between Rondo and Popovich and the Spurs.
The balance of power between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is now completely different.
The Spurs won't be able to fight back against the Seattle SuperSonics.
But there is no way, although the outcome of the game is not very suspenseful, it does not mean that the game is not exciting.
A good game requires not only intensity, but also enough storytelling, and this game between Spurs and SuperSonics is full of storytelling.
The story between Rondo and Popovich and the Spurs has contracted the blockbuster of the last three years of NBA laughter.
Seriously, for Popovich and the Spurs, they want to forget everything that happened between these three years and Rondo.
No one wants to be treated as a joke by the whole world.
As long as Rondo is no longer in the NBA, as long as there is no longer Rondo in their world, it can all be wiped out.
However, who would have thought that Rondo, who had already been determined by them to be a waste, would be resurrected at supersonic speed, in the hands of Yes......
Now Rondo is a member of the 'Miracle Generation', and even the 'Divine Beast' in the most popular basketball game 2K, as long as you are a person who plays 2K, who doesn't want to experience the feeling of controlling Rondo's 'Divine Beast'?
2K has changed the gameplay for Rondo.
It can be said that whether the current Rondo is one of the six members of the 'Miracle Generation' recognized at the official level, or the discussion and popularity among fans, it means that this guy will not disappear from the world of the Spurs.
Not only will it not disappear from the world of Popovich and the Spurs, but it will continue to appear.
And this guy Rondo really hates Popovich and Spurs.
As long as it's an interview, and it's about Popovich and the Spurs, it's impossible not to diss.
said that Popovich has three swords on both sides, a honey-bellied sword, and Alzheimer's disease, which is quite light.
Before the game, the reporter asked him if he regretted beating Popovich, and he was able to say such a 'regret theory', the unforgettable hatred for Popovich and the Spurs, and the reporters next to him were dumbfounded.
Rondo is a very cautious person.
At first, almost everyone at the Spurs treated him as Britney, but later, all these people who treated him as Britney betrayed him.
This is the most shameless betrayal in the eyes of Rondo's heart, which is smaller than the eye of a needle.
It can be said that except for Duncan, almost all the important people up and down the Spurs have licked him before, so, in the whole Spurs, except for Duncan, everyone is a villain.
Among them, Popovich, who licked him the hardest, became the villain among villains.
For these villains, of course, Rondo hopes to return all the hardships and hardships he has suffered here in the past three years.
After everyone broke up, you fell into a quagmire, and now I'm soaring into the sky, I don't mock you, worthy of my second master's name?
And Second Master Long's mouth, that's really don't want to hear anything nice from his mouth.
In this game against the SuperSonics, the Spurs were very nervous.
I can't help it, I'm a fish and a knife, just Rondo's posture of talking to the media before the game, I'm afraid this game is not to have a crooked smile after the game after the revenge of 'the three-year period has arrived'.
And the most nervous of them is undoubtedly the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich.
Now he actually doesn't care about whether he will be slapped in the face by Rondo, what else is there to care about?
Rondo is the winner now, he is the loser now, and what right does the loser have in the NBA to ask the winner not to slap him in the face?
Now, when the Spurs traded Leonard for Rondo, they cut Rondo directly this season, and these two operations have been selected by ESPN as one of the top 10 most mentally retarded operations in NBA history.
And as the executor of these two operations, he Popovich has no face to ask for.
Now he is in San Antonio and has been pulled from the altar by Rondo and this series of operations.
Now he has no divinity on him, and he has no aura of wisdom, and even if he has an aura, he is now an aura of Alzheimer's aura.
In this contest and competition with Rondo, he has actually conceded defeat.
It no longer makes sense for him and Rondo to argue over who is right and who is wrong, and who loses.
Because of his appearance in American basketball history textbooks, he Popovich and Rondo must have appeared together.
According to the book "History of American Basketball", which is not the second to be written, the account of the 2010 World Championships is not only known as the "Twelve Hours of the King's Castle", but also known as the "Lombau Rebellion" in the history of American basketball.
"The outbreak of the Lombau Rebellion made American basketball slump, before the Lombau Rebellion, American basketball developed unprecedentedly, the NBA heat rose, and the entire American basketball and NBA appeared in a prosperous scene, the outbreak of the Lombau Rebellion not only destroyed all the prestige accumulated by American basketball for decades, but also affected the entire NBA pattern, and the NBA has since turned from prosperity to decline."
This Nima's not fifteen is the second in the 'American basketball history' of all the content about the 'Lombau Rebellion', which has been selected into FIBA's basketball history, and has been directly condemned to him and Rondo, the 'biggest group of sinners in American basketball history'.
Even the impact of Yes's retirement was on him and Rondo.
The NBA's weakness three years ago David Stern dared to put his hat on Yes's head, although everyone knows what caused the NBA to weaken, but the pot has to be carried by him and Rondo.
So, for him, he really doesn't care about anything now.
Now he is in the basketball world, in the NBA, and he really belongs to the infamous existence.
He doesn't care about the historical status of American basketball, the historical status of the basketball world, the historical status of the basketball circle.
He now just wants to keep his place in San Antonio's history.
He now only wants to develop a few usable successors for San Antonio.
He just wants to drag the spurs out of the mire now.
He himself can be humiliated, he can be humiliated by Rondo, but in the future of these Spurs under his rule, he hopes that they can grow up healthy.
After the whole Spurs were gone, it was really home alone.
The team's five starts.
The center forward is Bennett.
The power forward is Derrick Favors
The small forward is Derrick Williams.
The shooting guard is Harrison Barnes.
Organizational guard Patrick Mills.
They are all young, even the oldest Mills is only 25 years old this year.
And although these young players are not amazing, but their qualifications are not bad, for example, Favors, I don't know if it's because of the contract year, this year is a big explosion, and his fourth year finally played 12+9 data, which is a highlight of the Spurs this year.
Another example is Harris Barnes and Derrick Williams, although their data has not improved, their talent is still okay.
It's something to be expected.
Now the two are still salted fish, and when they reach the contract year like Favors, it should be different.
Even Bennett, no matter how bad his performance is now, no matter how scrappy he is, there will always be pressure when he has a contract year.
As long as they have talent, they can always rise.
He hopes to be able to rise again with this group of players.
You don't need to win a championship, you just need to give Spurs fans hope.
He hopes that Rondo can vent all his anger on himself, and he doesn't want Rondo to use the Seattle supersonic power to destroy the confidence of his little babies.
He Popovich, this time, in front of his Second Master Long, confessed to it, so, Second Master Long, do you think you only punish me for this first evil, don't implicate too widely?
Just vent on me?
To be reasonable, it is unbelievable that Popovich's character can endure to such an extent in the face of Rondo's constant provocations.
Even the assistant coach of the Spurs next to him, Bowen in a wheelchair, found it incredible.
He is the one who knows best Popovich's feelings for Rondo.
That kind of complex to the extreme, and angry and hateful to the extreme are intertwined, and Rondo is simply his inner demon.
If he could, Popovich would have been willing to humanely destroy Rondo.
But now, the form is stronger than the person, and the teacher is now humble to this point.
Thinking that the reason why the teacher is now humble and like this is all because of him, Bowen is now uncomfortable.
Before retiring, he pitted his mentor and team, and after retiring, he returned to the pit, and finally brought his mentor into the ditch together......
There were times when Bowen always felt that he couldn't repay the debt he owed to his mentor with these two legs.
Of course, apart from these two legs, he now doesn't know what other parts can be taken out to atone for his sins.
In fact, Popovich still doesn't know enough about Rondo.
Rondo is indeed a very, very vindictive person.
But also a very, very proud person.
If you don't provoke him, he really can't do that kind of thing to suppress the little characters.
To be reasonable, in the Spurs, a junior like Derrick Favors didn't even have a chance to lick Rondo at that time.
As for the players who entered the Spurs later, such as Harrison Barnes and Derrick Williams, they have long stayed away from Rondo.
There is no intersection, and naturally there is no hatred.
Second Master Long's arrogant soul also made him unable to do the kind of thing that did the little word for no reason.
After all, since David Stern packaged the 'Miracle Generation' as a whole this season and stuffed him into the 'Miracle Generation' gift package, Long Er Ye knew that his chance to turn over had come.
Since David Stern, the NBA's Western Conference Weekly Player of the Week, has created an NBA team of 'Miracle Generation', the players on the SuperSonics team who have entered the 'Miracle Generation' team are certainly quite quite excited and excited.
This means a chance to be the MVP of the regular season!
As long as they can persist until the end this season, without a single brave man standing in their way, their 'Miracle Generation' six will be proper regular season MVPs!
So, David Stern's meaning is obvious, that is, he is encouraging them, although David Stern did not speak, but it seems to be like speaking.
"Kids who want to be the king of the devil this season, as long as you can stand at the end of the posture of the demon king, you are the king of the NBA this season!"
David Stern's hand is quite inspiring to the hearts of the six supersonic people.
Of course, it is also the envy of other supersonic players.
However, it is only limited to envy, as long as Yes is there, supersonic cannot be messed up by anything.
It is precisely because of David Stern's encouragement and encouragement.
This season, the supersonic six people were directly packaged into a heavenly group, which made the supersonic six people look like 'braves'.
As long as you think you are brave, it will definitely not give you any chance to defeat yourself, Bradley was beaten to a bull's head by Leonard, and Leonard is still a little unsatisfied.
David Stern came up with the demon group of 'Miracle Generation', which is not only hinting at the supersounds, but also hinting at other teams in the league who want to be brave and overthrow the Seattle supersonics, you are the king!
This is also the reason why the league has played so fiercely this season, the SuperSonics have been five or eight games in a row for twelve consecutive games, but no team has flinched, and one by one is even more excited.
Of course, the chances of the Demon King and the Brave are equal here in David Stern.
But in the minds of Rondo and the Supersonic Six, they are, of course, the definite final victors!
So, the MVP of the regular season is already in their pocket!
Even after packing, the MVP of the finals, they are likely to be a whole!
This means that all six of them will be able to achieve the pinnacle of their careers this season!
For Yes, personal accolades don't matter, but for other superSonics players, there is.
Especially the always arrogant Rondo.
Nima's historical status has fallen from 13, the highest in 10 years, to 19 now, which is something he has always been ashamed of.
Nima's, he is only one place taller than this guy James, how can you bear this?!
If you win MVP+FMVP again this year, not to mention directly entering the top ten in history, at least, you can return to the level before the 'Longbo Rebellion' in 10 years!
You can regain your respect.
Second Master Long, who has gained respect, is a master, how can he worry about these little guys like Spurs.
So, Rondo, who reappeared in the supersonic starters in this game, didn't shoot too much against the young players of the Spurs.
After each score, Rondo would borrow Curry's 'squatting toilet' celebration and run to Popovich to 'crouch on the toilet'.
And Rondo is very talented in that Curry doesn't flush every time he 'squats the toilet', so much so that his opponents want to kill him.
As for Rondo, after squatting in front of Popovich, he will also press his thumb on Popovich's face.
Nima's, seeing such an innovation as Rondo, Yes and the supersonic players were stunned.
It's not just Yees and the supersonic players who were stunned.
Even the commentators and reporters from all over the world on the sidelines, and the audience in front of the TV were all stunned.
"This is a group fight!"
There is no doubt that Rondo humiliated Popovich so much, and this is what it means to provoke a group fight.
"If in our time, an opponent dares to do such a thing to my head coach, whether I like this head coach or not, I will walk up to that guy without hesitation, and then face him, just punch down!"
Barkley looked at the celebration that Rondo kept doing on the court, and the expression on his face was quite surprised.
Not only was he surprised by Rondo's resentment towards Popovich, but he was also surprised by Popovich's patience.
Popovich always had a smile on his face in the face of this repeated celebration.
The squinting smile made it impossible to see what Popovich was thinking at this time.
After the last three years of turmoil, the world knows about Popovich and Rondo's feud.
Their grievances have gone beyond the kind of ordinary relationship between people, and morality, benevolence, basically nothing to do with it, both of them want each other to die, and you still expect the two to be polite to each other?
So, whether Rondo does anything to Popovich or Popovich does anything to Rondo, no one thinks it shouldn't be, not even Spurs fans.
There was no outrage at Rondo's insulting gesture.
Their anger at Rondo has been enough in the last three years.
This is understandable.
But what made Barkley incomprehensible was ......
"Fans can say nothing about Rondo's move against Popovich, they are understandably tired of everything that has happened between Rondo and Popovich in the last three years."
"However, what I can't understand is that Popovich's disciples, the five players on the Spurs court, they faced Rondo so humiliation of Popovich, and none of them stood up to punch Rondo, this is incomprehensible to me!"
"Mills's status in the team is too low, even if it is too low, Bennett, Harris Barnes, Derrick Favors, Derrick Williams, you are the core players that the Spurs have been focusing on cultivating, you are different from Mills, you do anything on the court, you don't need to worry about the consequences, you will not be expelled by the Spurs, you will be banned by the league for a few games at most, as long as you take out your fists, as long as you show your blood, you are heroes!"
Barkley is a die-hard coconut fan, everyone knows this, and even a die-hard coconut fan thinks that the Spurs players should be looking for Rondo to make trouble and seek revenge.
A fight is inevitable.
But what stunned Barkley, Kenny Smith next to him, and the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the television.
Until the last minute of the game, no Spurs player stepped up to punch Rondo.
"How weak are these young Spurs players who have been given hope by the Spurs and high hopes by Popovich!"
Finally, Barkley sighed.
At this time, on the big screen, Popovich, who was sitting on the bench, squinting and smiling all the time, and couldn't see what he was thinking, walked in front of Rondo, who was showing off his strength in the boos of the audience at this time after the game.
For a moment, the eyes of the whole world looked at it.
"Rajan, congratulations, you've won, you're right, my head is really bad, it's so bad that I can't see the good and the bad."
Listening to what Popovich said with a smile, watching Popovich reach out seemed to want to shake Rondo's hand.
"Is Popovich throwing in the towel?"
Just when many Spurs fans at the scene were surprised, Popovich, who had slowly stretched out his hand, directly turned his palm into a fist, and a fierce and fierce downpercut fell directly at the junction of Rondo's cheek and chin.
An old man who is almost seventy years old, and he directly knocked a young NBA player to the ground in this lap, you can see how ferocious this punch is.
When this scene happened, the Spurs' home court, which had been booed by the audience, was extremely quiet.
And what is even more shocking is that Popovich, who defeated Rondo, was not happy after revenge, and after opening his eyes, the smile on his face had become more sad than dead.
And Rondo, who was knocked to the ground by a punch, did not get up to take revenge, but sat directly on the ground 'hahahaha' and laughed wildly.
"Old man, you insulted me, I beat you, now I insult you, you beat me, we don't owe each other."
"You're right, in the end, I won, blind old man, hahahaha......"
The laughter was hearty and dripping.
In the laughter of Rondo, Bowen, who had already thrown off his wheelchair and limped over to protect Popovich, looked at the mentor in front of him, as if he was ten years old.
In the back of Popovich's aging, Barnes, Bennett, Williams, Favors...... The expression on his face is still so ancient and salted......
