Having beaten the Seattle SuperSonics at home in the first game, Popovich really felt like he could float.

Before this game started, he was actually still a little worried, he had lost to Yes so many times over the years, if Yes played very, very badly in this game, he might have to wonder if Yes was pretending.

If this game is a big score for the Spurs to beat the SuperSonics, Yes's performance is terrible, he will definitely not have that feeling of drifting, on the contrary, he will have that sense of urgency and worry that the black clouds are about to destroy the city.

But in the first game against the SuperSonics, the Spurs won, 111-106, and the Spurs only lost by 5 points in this game.

The superSonics performance in this game was very, very good.

These young players of the SuperSonics already have a feeling of ease when dealing with such a big game.

This is indeed quite impressive for Popovich, these young people of the supersonic are really different from the young people of other teams.

Compared with this group of young people in the supersonics, Parker and Ginobili, the two young people who are his spurs, he is a little 'disgusted', and Milicic was not less educated by Duncan, why didn't he see Milicic afraid of Duncan like a tiger?

Parker and Ginobili's fear of Yes is like if there were no Bowen by their side, they would have to walk around when they saw Yes.

Of course, these young people of hypersonic left a very deep impression on him.

Of course, the most impressive one is Yes.

In the first game with the supersonics, Yes is really powerful!

In the last few encounters with Bruce, how many times has Yes's offensive efficiency not reached 50% or was close to 50%?

And in this game, Yes faced Bruce's single defense, and finally scored 42 points on 13-of-28 shooting!

If you look at the two-man matchup between Yes and Bruce in this match, who wins and who loses?

There was no doubt that Yes beat Bruce.

Bruce lost the game in a solo duel with Yes.

However, a small win over Bruce like Yes is not enough to offset the disadvantage of the SuperSonics other players against the Spurs!

The biggest significance of Bruce to the Spurs is not that he must beat Yes in every game, he calculates not to beat Yes, as long as he can defend Yes alone, he will always be the biggest hero of the team!

In this game, Yes played with all his might, and Yes also wanted to create a miracle, but in the end, the miracle was blocked by Bruce!

Therefore, the fierce game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs not only gave him a lot of confidence, but also made the rest of the Spurs have a lot of confidence.

The supersonic struggled, and yes struggled, but the end result was still death.

Isn't this a beautiful sight?

Of course, it's very, very beautiful!

At least for all the Spurs except Bowen, the picture is very beautiful.

As for after the game, Bowen was in a very bad mood, and his face was visibly ugly.

Popovich can also be understood.

After all, the individual duel in this game was lost.

Therefore, as soon as the game ended, Popovich comforted his favorite player, the biggest hero of the game.

"Very good game, Bruce, we won, when we finally beat Yes and knock out the SuperSonics, no one will care about anything else in this game, don't think too much, Bruce, congratulations, you're leading the team to the playoffs again, my leader!"

Popovich looked at this old face as proud as him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although their age is no longer young, their desire for victory is still young.

As an NBA head coach, and incredibly successful, Popovich has always said that one of the things he was luckiest was coaching Duncan.

And one thing that is even luckier than this is that after having Duncan, he has Bowen again!

And when these two people came to the peak, he was also at the peak, and the final peak of the three of them coincided.

"Bruce, this season will definitely be our season, I, Tim, we will succeed, and you, will become a god!"

In the face of Popovich's trust and comfort.

Every point of trust on Popovich's face, every moment of respect on his teammates' faces, his heart ached, and his body sank more.

For this series, his predictions are not like that, they really aren't......

There's no way that stingy guy can easily give up a victory, unless he's doing something more important than victory!

What exactly does Yes want to do?

Although Bowen, who sat next to Popovich for the post-match press conference, still had pride and unwavering confidence on his face, he was very anxious inside.

"It was a very scorching game, both teams played at the highest level, yes is the best offensive player in the NBA, we played at the highest level defensively, but there was still nothing we could do about him, but the good thing is that we were in very good offensive form in this game, it was a wonderful victory, of course, it was just a wonderful victory, we need four wins like this to advance, so a win in this game doesn't mean anything, no, it doesn't mean nothing."

"At the very least, after we win this game, we don't have to worry about being swept by Yes."

At the end of the day, Popovich's face was filled with his trademark sinister smile.

It is said that Yes is very willful when he is interviewed, and Popovich is also quite willful when he is interviewed.

So, this time, after Popovich finished with a smile, the audience laughed.

This sudden dry humor is quite effective.

Popovich has recently named the Mavericks and Nuggets, and the Mavericks and Nuggets have been so popular recently, and it really has a lot of credit to Popovich.

It's just in this cheerful atmosphere of laughter.

Bowen, who thought of something, looked at Popovich who was smiling next to him with wide eyes, a look of horror.

Yes wouldn't be?!

No, it won't, right?

He, how could he do such a thing to Spurs?!

He, how dare he do such a thing to Spurs?!

On April 21, 2009, the second round of the Seattle SuperSonics and Spurs continued at the ATandT Center in San Antonio.

The first game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs, there was a lot of anticipation from SuperSonics fans and coconut fans before the game.

The first round of this year's playoffs was a series of upsets, and they were expecting such an upset in the SuperSonics and Spurs series, but they were disappointed.

While the SuperSonics performed well, and while Yes beat Bowen to prove that offense beat defense once again, SuperSonics lost and lost.

The defeat of the SuperSonics was written about by many expert media after the game.

"This game tells us that Yes is perhaps the only player in NBA history who can break down Bowen's defense!"

"But the overall strength of the supersonic speed limits the strength of Yes's individual strength!"

"When the Spurs have Bowen, the Spurs will be the only person in the NBA who can say yes that basketball is a five-man sport!"

When the Spurs had Bowen, the Spurs were the only ones who could say yes that basketball was a five-man sport......

This sentence has been very popular in the playoffs for the past two days.

、

This is what the famous coconut flour Pippen said.

This sentence highly summarizes the strength and incredibleness of Yes's personal ability, Pippen said, Bowen's level of defense, even Jordan can't break the defense, Jordan can't beat Bowen in the triangle offensive system!

As Jordan's closest comrade-in-arms, Pippen's words were more convincing than most others.

Therefore, his famous quote is not only an admiration for Yes's personal strength, but also a compliment to Bowen's defensive ability.

The other teams faced Yes, daring to say that basketball is a five-person sport, and Yes used his miracle to slap the face easily.

And Bowen, can get the Spurs to say something like that.

The last game embodied what this sentence summed up.

The most desperate content for coconut flour.

Even Pippen, the NBA's most die-hard coconut fan, is now desperate to say something like this, which is almost equivalent to "Don't expect Yes to have a miracle anymore, Yes is very, very good at breaking Bowen's defense, no matter how powerful, then it will really become a god." ”

It is precisely because of such public opinion.

Before the second game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, many SuperSonics fans who came to the scene shouted "Enjoy the game!" slogan.

"Enjoy the game, not the victory, tonight's coconut fans and supersonic fans are very sensible."

Kenny Smith's words embarrassed Buckley, who was next to him as coconut powder.

The last time the SuperSonics played against the Spurs, the slogans played by SuperSonics fans and coconut fans were not so 'cowardly'.

"For many coconut fans and supersonic fans, this year's playoffs are the strawberry on the cake, Yes's performance in the regular season this season is wonderful and sweet enough, on the contrary, some people and some teams need the playoffs more to prove themselves."

"Humph!"

Kenny Smith was satirizing coconut fans and supersonic fans, and Barkley immediately began to sarcastically mock James.

Recently, Barkley and Kenny Smith have been commenting on the smell of gunpowder.

No way, James and Yes are in a very bad situation.

Usually the style of the two is the style of gags, but now it has become this ironic style, which makes many fans in front of the TV even more interesting.

Although the commentary of Barkley and Kenny Smith is very interesting, the focus of this game is naturally on Yes and Bowen.

When the two teams warmed up, almost all the cameras on the scene were on these two people.

Every time Yes and Bowen faced each other, the kind of imposing confrontation between the two before the game made the audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV and the media experts talk about it.

"Yes and Bowen's duel is so classic, and it has a lot to do with the momentum duel that they seem to have fought like a fairy before the game."

"That's right, compared to these two, who are also historical players, Duncan feels a little mediocre."

The reporters in the stands looked at Duncan, who was standing between Yes and Bowen on the court, looking left and right, and compared to Yes and Bowen, this mediocre No. 21 was like a trick.

"Tim, do you see what it means to see the fierce confrontation between Master and Yes?"

In fact, not only the audience on the sidelines felt that Yes and Bowen looked at each other very, very magically, but even Spurs players such as Ginobili and Duncan also felt that this kind of momentum duel was very magical.

"I can't see it, I can't see it."

Faced with the curiosity of Ginobili and his teammates, Duncan, who had just observed a good pass, held the basketball and shook his head with a sluggish look.

On the other side, Ye Si and Bowen were still standing in the center circle and staring at each other.

The momentum of the two became more and more ferocious, and the audience next to them became more and more surprised.

Bowen: Give me a chance.

Yes: How can I give you a chance?

Bowen: For the sake of my usefulness and cooperation in the past, please give me a chance to choose my own way of dying this time.

Yes: Oh, choose your own way of dying? You weren't so honest or humble before.

Bowen: I used to be too greedy, but now, I just want to die quickly and give me a chance.

Yes: Okay, did you see that basket, you hit your head directly, and you should die.

Bowen: Do you really want me dead?

YES: I'm sorry, I'm not God.

Bowen: Don't push me, I really ......

Yas: You're not that important.

Ye Si didn't wait for Bowen to finish his message before turning and leaving.

Bowen behind him, although his face was still proud and confident, his hands were shaking tightly.

"Master, who won this time against Yes's momentum?"

"I don't know."

Facing an impatient Ginobili, Bowen gritted his teeth and continued: "Spurs will win!" ”

Ginobili, who was originally a little disappointed, heard Bowen's later sentence add, and the back of his head sweated with excitement, and Duncan's hands were full of sweat.

"Master, it's too strong!"

"How dare you make a declaration of victory in front of Yes!"

Not only Ginobili, but the other Spurs players next to him also had that look of respect and admiration on their faces after Bowen said this.

Popovich on the sidelines nodded with a smile on his face, which is why the Spurs have felt more and more like a Bruce team in the last two years.

He can't help but call for Bruce right now!

It's too domineering!

It's too strong!

Now as long as the Spurs have Bowen, facing any team seems to have a fixed needle.

Previously, this role belonged to Duncan.

The previous alliance was one where the inside line was king.

The current league is on the rise of the outside, and under this general trend, although Duncan is still the pillar in the Spurs, the Spurs have indeed changed from a single pillar to a double pillar.

Because he won yesterday's game, he lineup tonight is the same as in the last game, with Duncan at center, Matt Bonner at power forward, Stephen Jackson at small forward, Bowen at shooting guard, and Parker at playmaking guard.

When the starting lineups of both teams were on the court, Popovich was somewhat surprised that the SuperSonics, who were the losers, did not make any changes to the lineup.

It's still Milicic, Millsap, Ibaka and Yes, Rondo.

Popovich's unchanging formation of old Nelson and the SuperSonics was only a brief surprise and surprise, and he was soon able to understand.

Supersonic does not have a second powerful main point of attack, supersonic is not without a change of formation, a change in supersonic speed is not a change in lineup, not a change in tactics, and the change in supersonic speed depends entirely on the change of Yes!

Yes is a player who can do anything, and Yes's super ability to lead the team is considered by many experts to be that Yes can change its playing style according to different opponents.

Because it can do anything, Yes naturally restrains almost all different opponents, and naturally leads the team to a high winning rate.

Therefore, the power of supersonic speed depends entirely on the power of Yes, and the change of supersonic speed also depends entirely on the change of Yes!

In the last game, Yes's style of play was actually very different from the regular season.

In the last game, Yes became very, very cautious on the offensive end, and after the game, many experts thought that Yes reduced his shooting speed in order to break Bowen's defense, and in the last game, Yes's three-point shooting speed was not even like Yes!

In terms of practical effect, Yes's change in the last game did have an effect, and Bruce was defeated by him.

But on the other hand, the Yes change is ineffective, because the supersonic loses!

However, as a bystander, Popovich appreciates Yes's versatility, a man who really has never had an all-powerful player in the NBA.

But, on the other hand, he had a very bad taste to see Yes struggling in the cage he and Bruce had wore.

Yes has now been caged by him and Bruce.

He wants to break this cage through his strength and difference.

But no matter how much he changes, it is impossible to break the cage that Bruce has woven with him.

What a wonderful scene would that be?

Will he despair when the end finally does befall Yes and Hypersonics?

Isn't it a very interesting thing to appreciate the despair of Yes?

"In this game, Yes will definitely change his form again!"

"What kind of form will Yes struggle with in this match?"

Popovich was curious.

Some even want to move a small stool and sit down next to it.

The bench is still too far behind......

"It's on!"

To the cheers of the Spurs fans in the stadium, Duncan jumped the ball and easily lost to Milicic.

When he was younger, Duncan was also quite able to jump.

It's just now......

In the jumping ball, he does have a little bit of bullying in the world.

And Milicic can only be arrogant when he jumps every time he faces Duncan, and it is difficult to be arrogant at other times, so he works extra hard every time he jumps.

If you can torture and kill Duncan, you will definitely not give Duncan face.

Of course, Duncan is not actually a face-saving person.

This old man is very rough-skinned.

It will definitely not affect his usual state of play because of the miserable loss of the jump ball.

And when it comes to the playoffs, his strength is definitely not comparable to the regular season.

For example, in this year's regular season, when the Spurs and Heat played, Duncan was defeated by Bosh twice, but if it was really in the playoffs, Boshk would not be able to beat Duncan by a small margin.

Even Yes will be quite cautious in the face of a basket guarded by Duncan.

When the two teams first met in the playoffs two years ago, Yes's biggest inside player was Duncan.

Although I am not scared now, I am also very careful.

Fortunately, because of Bowen's relationship, Duncan no longer helped defend him, and completely handed him over to Bowen, in this way, he is fine, but his teammates are miserable.

The Spurs used Bonner, a high scorer, to start the playoffs, just to pull Millsap out on the defensive end, so that Duncan could have more opportunities to play Millsap one by one, and because of Duncan on the inside, even if Bonner is not strong defensively, Duncan can help him make up.

In the last game, he and Bowen were the focus of the matchup, but Duncan was definitely the winner of the game.

Although Ye Si was adapting to a new style of play in the last game, he didn't mind winning a win if the Spurs really weren't strong enough.

Of course, in the end, because of Duncan's strength, the Spurs won the final victory.

In fact, not only Yes's attention was on Duncan, but Nelson Sr.'s attention was also on Duncan.

He was familiar with the Spurs' new tactical system, and Popovich knew it, so in this year's playoffs, he, a disciple of the monkey spirit, made some changes, such as no longer a mechanical pass ball, but allowed Duncan to increase his singles and interior breakouts.

The effect is outstanding, and the impact of the supersonic long-handed monster on the offensive end of the Spurs has obviously decreased a lot.

Duncan, this player, that's a real headache for the team!

Duncan is a headache for his team, and Bowen is a headache for his Yes......

A few minutes into the game, Nelson Sr. was helpless.

The Spurs really restrained his supersonics!

"Kenny, Yes's style of play has changed again in this game, hasn't it?"

"That's right, Yes didn't have that many low-post singles before!"

Kenny Smith was a little surprised to see Yees sitting low on the court to play Bowen stationary.

Who is Bowen?

Bowen's current nickname is 'Immovable Hades' or 'Immovable Death'!

Because of his age, although Bowen has a strong defensive ability to move with Duncan's assistance, the strongest thing is his immobile defensive strength.

Bowen is the nemesis of the triangle offense that was personally certified by the Lakers' head coach Phil Jackson!

Or the nemesis of the one-on-one back-to-back singles of the outside players!

"We all know that Yes is looking for a better way to beat Bowen, but this method has proven to have no effect on Bowen by Kobe!"

"According to statistics, Kobe Bryant's back-to-back one-on-one singles in the face of other defensive players can be more than 50%, but in the face of Bowen, the efficiency is less than 40%, or even only about 30%!"

Pippen even said that even if Jordan comes back to face a defense like Bowen, it will be difficult to have a shooting percentage of more than 40%!"

Nima's Jordan is back to life!

Nima's Pi II!

Jordan, who was slowly savoring red wine and cigars, almost wanted to throw away both cigars and red wine and get into the TV to hit people.

Although Jordan is very, very unhappy with Pi Er's statement, there is one thing he still agrees with.

In the tactical system of the triangle offense, a pure one-on-one single, he will not be too efficient against Bowen.

Bowen's defensive skills have reached a level, coupled with his height, weight and ability to fight.

To say that he is the NBA's 'Immovable Hades' or 'Immovable Grim Reaper' is really not a problem at all.

This series between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is a series in which he appreciates how Yes struggles.

Now it seems that Yes has struggled a little out of his mind.

In the face of Bowen, he actually hit Bowen without moving, instead of using his explosive power to pull Bowen.

This is looking for death!

"Phil, didn't you say that if you give you a Yes, your triangle attack is invincible?"

"I'm going to see if you're invincible in your triangle attack if you're given a yes like this."

Jordan took a sip of cigar and poured a sip of red wine, the cigar and wine mana are boundless!

The moment Jordan felt the boundlessness of his mana, there was a pop!

Cigars and cigarettes were all blown out!

Sit!

Two sits!

Three sits!

Roll over and step back to jumper!

This action ......

Looking at this extremely familiar and incomparably standard action, Jordan was really stunned!

Because of him, this set of actions is very popular.

If the defender is air.

There are at least 1,000 people in the world who can do this set of actions perfectly.

But behind Yes is Bowen!

Even Kobe, the person who is most similar to what he learned, can't make this set of actions a standard!

He has watched a lot of video footage of Kobe Bryant and Bowen duel, every time Kobe Bryant singles Bowen, the picturesque is really still picturesque, but the action has nothing to do with the standard.

But yes this time, it's not the standard, it's perfect!

As if Bowen's defense didn't have the slightest effect on him!

At the very least, he used the same moves to face Bowen, maybe better than Kobe, but it was absolutely impossible to achieve such perfection!

Not to mention Bowen, he was no longer so perfect and standard when he faced Payton.

"Awesome ......"

In the Lakers' locker room, Kobe Bryant watched TV in a daze.

He knows best how strong Bowen is when he stands on the defensive.

And Phil Jackson, who was on Kobe's side, even stood up excitedly at this time!

Now he is 100% sure that Kobe Bryant's love for Romar is definitely not as much as his love for Yes!

Perfect!

Yes not only has the ability to pass the ball and connect teammates in a triangle offensive system, but also has the ability to play one-on-one singles!

"Yes is a player born to attack the triangle!"

Now Phil Jackson is excited.

It's also a pity.

As a head coach of this level, he can certainly see that although Yes defeated Bowen one-on-one, the other superSonics players were too affected by Duncan!

"Yes won this game again, but SuperSonics will lose!"

Phil Jackson looked at the supersonic nine on the TV, who was working hard, and the look on his face was quite distressed.

When Kobe Bryant was bullied by Bowen and Duncan, he would never have such a distressed look on his face.

Phil Jackson now has visible regret on his face.

At ATandT, when the game ended 101-108, both the Spurs fans, the reporters at the scene, and even the players on the court had a dull look on their faces.

"Yes defeated Bowen again!"

"Yes defeated Bowen in two completely different ways!"

"So powerful Bowen ......"

"Is this the true strength of Yes? When the desperate situation came, Yes finally told the world what the gap between the best offensive player of all time and the best defensive player of all time was? ”

The moment the game ended, there was silence.

Popovich was also shocked, and Popovich, who had come back from the shock, did not like the silence very much.

"While it's fun to appreciate Yes's struggles......"

"But the struggling Yes is really scary......"

Bruce lost again......

But Spurs are the winners!

We're 2-0!

2 to 0!

、

This score made Popovich's eyes twinkle with a very interesting idea and possibility!
