Jin Feng got a triple-double, and the Spurs once again took a lead of more than 10 points, and there was not much time left in the game, so Popovich waved his hand and replaced all the main forces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few minutes later, with the referee's whistle, the game was over!

The Spurs defeated the Pelicans 112-100 at home, ending the Pelicans' winning streak!

……………

After the game, no one in the entire AT&T center left early, and almost everyone sat firmly in the stands, waiting for the follow-up.

What's the follow-up?

Naturally, it was the jersey retirement ceremony of "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan.

The lights are suddenly dim and silent, and when the stadium is bright again, it is already a different scene!

David Robingson, George Gervin, Bowen, Tony Parker, Ginobili, Popovich, Dave Odom, sat in a row.

As the host Sean Elliott sounded a microphone, the "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan family also walked to the court from one side of the court, and after greeting each other, they sat on the other side in turn.

Aside from the sport of basketball and the sacred ritual of retiring the jersey, you have to admit that the "Old Stone Buddha" Duncan is not shallow, and his wife, Vanessa Macias, is definitely a stunner, with a convex and backward curl, everything, don't look at the eyes of all the fans on the court.

In fact, at least half of the fans' eyes are on Duncan's wife, where exactly they want to go.........

…………

1997~2016, a full 19 seasons, and his entire career, Duncan spent time with the San Antonio Spurs.

In terms of basketball, he gave it all to San Antonio, 5 championships, never missed the playoffs for 20 years, the most successful team in the NBA of the 21st century, and so on.

Duncan is their "God of Basketball" for the Spurs, and unlike the "God of Basketball", Duncan is more loyal!

…………

In the speech of everyone on the field, in the hazy choking voice of Popovich, in the atmosphere of all the fans holding their breath, everything seemed so different, but everything seemed so real!

Tim Duncan ~ Salute!

In the Spurs locker room, everyone did not choose to leave for the first time after changing clothes, everyone silently stared at the TV in the locker room, watching the retirement ceremony of their "eternal team soul" jersey that was being broadcast live on TV.

No hustle and bustle, no jokes, just solemnity!

Kawhi Leonard, the young man who had been silent, if anyone looked closely into his eyes at this time, they would find that the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little hazy.

Don't think Duncan has nothing to do with him and Kawhi Leonard.

In fact, he can have Leonard today, on the one hand, in addition to his own efforts, Duncan has helped him tremendously.

Leonard, definitely one of the people who is very grateful to Duncan...

Without Duncan, there would be no Leonard's Finals MVP, not even a championship.

Why?

Because Duncan is a superstar, a real superstar!

A true superstar who is not only good enough for himself, but also for his teammates, and Tim Duncan has done just that!

……………

Then moved his gaze to Jin Feng, who was in the innermost part of the locker room, it seemed to be so solemn.

What was Jin Feng thinking at this time?

Nobody knows!

However, one thing is certain, that is, Jin Feng is very envious of Duncan at the moment.

Playing on the NBA's highest stage of basketball, any player wants to leave something here, especially those with ambitions.

What makes an ambitious player?

Tim Duncan counts one, or a combination of GDP.

Silent Kawhi Leonard counts as one!

Those former or current superstars are also counted.

He is ambitious, even "ambitious", and he wants to retire his jersey on an NBA team one day, even though he hates the last game of his damn career.

…………

"If I had been asked to write a script for my career 19 years ago, I never imagined it would be such a journey.

Stand at the end of this journey and look back at what you have experienced in the past. Those victories and defeats will remain in my mind, but I still remember those people the most:

The fans in and out of the arena, the coaches who inspire and help me, the teammates (and even opponents) who can be lifelong friends, the ups and downs that I can share with my family and friends. The photos of my kids growing up and the dad's games they went through are the ones I cherish the most.

Thank you to the city of San Antonio for your support and love over the years, and to the fans all over the world.

Love you all Tim forever."

This was shocking, because Tim Duncan's speech was actually more than a minute, but it made people can't help but cry because they are reluctant to ......

San Antonio, the home of the Spurs, the AT&T Center, above the arena, as the "No. 21" jersey slowly rose into the air, a legend officially ended.........

……………

'He's the player I respect the most, it's definitely something to learn from my career and my life, and I'm honoured to be able to play for the teams he's played for, you know, it was a really great experience'

"Nobody is going to deny what this guy has done for this arena, for this city, he's always been so low-key, he's always been leading by example, well, I have to admit, I'm a fan of him, absolutely"

This is what Jin Feng said in an interview with reporters after the retirement ceremony of Duncan's jersey!

It's been a few months since he came to the NBA, and Jin Feng has already learned to face reporters and the media, and he has a very natural tone, which does sound very comfortable!

In fact, Jin Feng is not the focus of media reporters chasing interviews, in the final analysis, Duncan and him are not players of the same era, he and Tim Duncan have not been teammates!

The media chased the focus of interviews on Popovich, Ginobili, Tony Parker and, of course, Leonard.

"I don't want to give any interviews, you should know, I just want to get drunk right now, I'm in a bad mood" Not surprisingly, the reporters ate a closed door at Popovich's place!

"You know, I have a knee injury, I didn't play this game, I have to go back and rest quickly, please let everyone go" Tony Parker, the usual gentleman of the French, however, did not give an interview!

As for Ginobili, he is very cunning and has long since slipped away! Journalists, the media did not see his shadow at all!

In the end, seeing Leonard walking towards him, the reporters glanced at each other, sighed, and finally consciously gave way to him, forget it, if you want this guy to speak, it is estimated that you have to pry it open with a vice......
