Although Hoggist and Popovich were frantically breastfeeding each other on social media, when the Lakers' plane landed at the San Antonio airport, Haugist immediately asked Shashewski to take time off and go to the small restaurant by the San Antonio River to have dinner with a group of old friends from the Spurs.

"Old man, give me a night off, and I'll help you spy on the military!" Hogist said in a tricky voice.

"I know you're going to get together with old friends, but I warn you, Greg is a scheming old man, and you're more tender than him, talk less and eat more, don't sell us without revealing their information!" Shashewski admonished with a smile.

"You're underestimating me!" Hoggist didn't care, "I've been dealing with him for so many years, but I've never suffered a loss!" ”

Shashewski heard Haugist's confident remarks, but stroked his palms and laughed, "Hahahaha, I'll just say that he is too tender than you!" You're already in his way! ”

Hoggist was horrified by the old K's laughter, and couldn't help but shudder, "Can you stop laughing like that?" Laughing at me, my hair straightened, how could I have already fallen into his way? ”

"Greg loves talents, and when he was bent on getting you to the Spurs, of course he was kind to you, and the more you took advantage of him, the closer you became to her, and the more you felt indebted to him, the more inclined you were to the Spurs, right?"

"It seems to make some sense!" Hogist nodded thoughtfully.

"But if you think about Popovich's 'black history' of tuning his own players, beating up rookie Duncan on the training court, rookie Parker doesn't know how many times he has been sprayed, let's talk about the latest, LaMarcus. Aldridge is such an excellent projection power forward, so many teams rush to ask for it, his only condition is not to play the No. 5 position, Popovich's clever words fooled him, but what is the result? Duncan did play at the No. 5 position, and he was in charge of jumping every game, but who spent the longest in the paint area in the game? Not this Fat Kiki? And when it comes to his nickname Fat Kiki, isn't it because Bobo asked him to gain weight after coming to the Spurs? "Shashewski actually had a very good relationship with Popovich, so he knows a lot about his anecdotes with Popovich.

Hoggist patted his head, "It seems that this is really the case with your analysis!" This old man is so powerful, I have a little heart and eye calculation, he is simply plotting with the tiger! ”

"Don't worry too much, after all, the game between the two teams is a competition of strength, tactics or something they can analyze by watching the video, and we have worked together in the national team a few times, and our tactical level also knows each other, in fact, there is nothing to keep secret, and the situation in the game is changing rapidly, and the on-the-spot command is also improvised, you can't ask about anything too valuable, don't worry about playing, just don't drink too much and affect the state of tomorrow's game!"

Leonard, Danny. Green, Mills, Kyle. Anderson, Henry. Vincent, Coach Sifol and Popovich and other old friends of Hoggist have gathered together to wait for Hoggist's arrival, because he met a lot of enthusiastic fans along the way, Hoggist came a little late.

After entering the table, Popovich smiled evilly and said: "Haugist, I have studied your Chinese wine culture recently, should you punish yourself three glasses if you are late?" ”

"Old man, don't joke with me, there is a game tomorrow, how can you drink?" Haugist thought Popovich was joking.

But everyone actually raised their glasses, and Vincent also advised: "A few glasses of dessert wine with the table, it won't affect tomorrow's game!" ”

"It turned out that this party was a trap! Later, if I drink with each of you, won't it become a wheel war? You want to gang up and me alone, right? Haugist instantly saw through Popovich's "conspiracy".

"This is not China, drinking will not force you to toast, everyone is free to drink." Mills, who also played in the CBA, also advised.

"Okay." Hoggist eventually sat down. Everyone drank and talked happily, and it didn't take long for them to talk about tomorrow's game.

"Your 22-game winning streak is amazing! Is there any secret to winning the game? Seeing Popovich's eyes, Henry took the initiative to talk to Hogist.

"The secret to winning? Do you want to make a specific arrangement for tomorrow's game? You haven't drunk me yet, so are you in a bit of a hurry now? Hougist replied wittily.

"Hey~ You're thinking too much, let's just chat with a bunch of good friends, besides, our Spurs team with a perennial 55%+ win rate, there are many ways to win, do you still need to make adjustments specifically for you?" Henry deliberately exuded a hint of disdain.

Hoggist waved his hand, "Come on, don't use the agitation method, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, we don't have any secrets, it's just that our strength is stronger than other teams!" ”

"Just blow it! You almost lost to the Magic in November! Does it mean that the Magic team is about the same strength as yours? Henry retorted.

"Cut, the game against the Magic was something else in my mind, and it took a whole paddling to get bitten all the time. Let's put it this way, as long as I want to win and fight hard, I can't lose! Hougist said proudly.

Although Hoggist thinks he is joking, he doesn't realize that this is also true, and he is indeed the core of the Lakers' normal functioning and the secret of the 22-game winning streak. It's like if you ask why the Europeans were able to conquer the Americas, because the Europeans had guns and the Americans only had machetes!

As the so-called speaker has no intention of listening, Popovich's words are in his heart, and he usually pays attention to the Lakers' games, and Hoggist's words are basically consistent with his judgment, and he really responded to that sentence, how many truths are said in a joking way.

In fact, this tactic against Hoggist is not new, and many teams have tried, but players with the same height and speed as Hoggist are really rare, and players with this kind of physical talent, such as pickled peppers, Wiggins and others are also the team's offensive core, if you focus on defending Hoggist, the team's offense will be affected, and it will be difficult to win.

The Spurs are the first team that Haugist has encountered, even if Leonard puts all his energy on defending Hoggist, it will not have much impact on the Spurs' offense, and Leonard has a wealth of experience in defending Hoggist, it is not an exaggeration to say that Hoggist is naturally feasible, coupled with the arrangement of Hoggister that Popovich is thinking about in his heart, it is estimated that Hoggist will be more auspicious tomorrow.

said that it was a wine talk, and the eight people drank a total of two bottles. Back at the hotel, Shashefsky called Haugist, Haugist looked at his watch, it was already past 11 o'clock, he came back a little late, and hurriedly took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry coach I'm coming back late, but I'm walking back from there, when I work out after cooking, the wine for dinner should have been almost metabolized, and it won't affect tomorrow's ......."

Haugist was talking to himself, Shashefsky came up and hugged him, Haugist looked surprised to see Shashewski take a small voice recorder from his coat pocket, "This is ......"

"There's still half of the electricity, and the recording is still going on, and it looks like your conversation has been recorded." Shashewski nodded in satisfaction.

"What! You actually secretly recorded my private dinner, this is an invasion of privacy, right? Hougist protested.

"Yes, I apologize to you for that, and I had to do this as a last resort to deal with that old fellow Greg. His ability to speak is so pervasive that I have to know what you've talked about in order to judge what he's mastering, what he can deduce, and what he's guessing. Shashewski said with a frown.

"But didn't you say there was nothing to keep secret?" Hogist asked, confused.

With a smug look on his face, Shashewski hugged Haugist into his room, lowered his voice and whispered, "Let me tell you this!" There are very few secrets between the two of us, he knows my tactics, and I know his tactics, but we know too much and we don't know. ”

Although Hoggist usually prides himself on being witty, he is at a loss at the moment, "What do you know and don't know, are you talking about tongue twisters?" How do I hear the clouds? ”

Shashewski continued: "I know all of Bobo's tactics, but it doesn't work, because I don't know which one he's going to use tomorrow, so I have to improvise on the spot, and I think the same is true for Greg. But if you talk to them unguardedly, with Bobo's cunning, he will definitely try to make a cliché, and through your words and his judgment, he will make a specific arrangement, so I also need to know your conversation, so that I can know how Bobo will arrange it. ...... like this"

"So that you can counteract according to his arrangement? It's too complicated, you're a spy! Am I not acting as a double agent? Hougist sighed, "You instructors are just like the chief of staff of the army, the routine is too deep!" ”

"Alright, go back and get some rest! I'll study your conversation and give Popovich a surprise tomorrow! With that, Shashewski kicked Haugist out of the room.

"Mmmm, this kid is really shameless, just bragging about himself like this, hehe......" After a while, Shashewski's room came from his own words.

When I met Shashewski in the restaurant the next morning, I saw that he had two big dark circles under his eyes, but he did not feel sleepy, but looked energetic and energetic. Hoggist teased with a slice of whole-wheat bread in his mouth, "It seems that you studied my conversation late last night, but your expression is so relaxed, I guess the countermeasures you racked your brains to think of were very successful!" ”

"That's right, I listened to your conversation, you are so good at blowing, if I didn't know you, I would have thought it was a combination of Jordan and Chamberlain!" Shashewski said disdainfully.

"I'm saying this to confuse my opponent!" Hougist had an idea for such an excuse.

"Confusing Popovich?" Shashewski sneered: "Before the age of 30, if you can shake Popovich in basketball, I will worship you as a teacher!" ”

Hoggist rolled his eyes and laughed lewdly, "It's too simple, I'll talk to Bobo about the contract when my rookie contract ends, and I will regret it before signing, does this count as shaking him?" ”

Shashewski looked incredulous, glared angrily, and said: "I have never seen such a brazen person!" ”

"Although you are older, you are talented and intelligent, and you are a manufacturable material, in order to accept you as an apprentice, I don't want my face to be an old man!" Hoggist continued to tease the head coach no matter how big or small.

"Okay, no kidding, you have exposed too much information about your tactical position in the team last night, I think Popovich will definitely choke you tonight, you are the brain of the team, locking you is equivalent to making us paraplegic! Even if the brain IQ is 250, you can't show it if you are a high paraplegic, so I plan to assign the ball to Jeremy Lin, who is not as high as you, but will not be taken care of! Shashewski's expression returned to seriousness.

"Ah, you're going to make me play without the ball?" There was no emotion in Haugist's tone.

But Shashewski seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke Haugist, and added another sentence: "So tonight you are the starting center!" “

"What? Let me play center? Make no mistake, right? There are two 7-foot guys on the team, why did you let me play as the starting center? The inside line on the opposite side is Duncan and Aldridge, I am on top like this, I am not heavy enough and not tall enough, and the rebounds will be blown up, this is simply a proposition! Haugist couldn't help but exclaim.

"We play a small ball fast attack, as long as we raise the speed, even if the aging Duncan has a rotation to maintain the golden body, he will never be able to withstand half a quarter, Aldridge has been gaining weight since he arrived at the Spurs, and now he is not the big forward who is good at light projection, so he has to vomit blood after running and shooting for a long time! The rest of the interior line are rough guys who are physically strong and not have solid skills, so as long as we control the rhythm of the game, the damage caused by the difference in height on the inside line can be minimized! This is exactly the result of Shashewski's thinking overnight.

Haugist Jiang Xinjiang suspiciously reluctantly agreed to Shashewski's request, but when he and Duncan stood face to face in the center circle, he regretted it a little, 18 years of NBA experience made Duncan exude an invisible sense of oppression, and the pressure of Hoggist was even a little breathless, he knew that it was caused by excessive adrenaline synthesis, but he couldn't suppress it.
