"Listen, six points down in the first three quarters is not a catastrophe for us, and we can make adjustments in the following ways..."

At the break, Popovich didn't show much dissatisfaction with his team's performance in the first three quarters, but instead looked confident.

He called all the players to his side and explained that the fourth quarter mainly focused on those tactics, and after Popovich explained the tactics, many players, including Jin Feng, showed a different look.

Jin Feng unconsciously glanced at Little Jordan on the Clippers bench on the other side, and couldn't help but sweat for him, buddy, ask for more blessings!

Soon, the fourth quarter began, and the Clippers took the lead in attacking, and Rivers broke through and hit a layup, which was his first open score of the game.

The performance of the "prince" in this game was not good, after the first three quarters of the game, he only relied on free throws to score 4 points, and as for the sports battle, he did not hit a single shot, looking at his father's sad face on the sidelines, you should know how much public opinion pressure their father and son have to face after the end of this game.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, he finally relied on sports to score, and on the sidelines, Rivers's pupils were also unconsciously dilated, looking at his son on the court as if to say, "Son, come on, strive to break out in the fourth quarter and lead the team to victory."

After Rivers Jr. broke through and hit a layup, Gasol on the Spurs' side also hit a basket and still clung to the score.

Popovich's intermission made a difference in the fourth quarter, and it was clear that the Spurs were playing more aggressively in the fourth quarter and their shooting percentage was improving.

But on the Clippers' side, the interior duo Griffin and Jordan Jr. have performed very well in this game so far, and did not let the Spurs find an opportunity in the fourth quarter.

In the 8th minute of the fourth quarter, the score was 89:94 on the sidelines, and the Clippers temporarily led by 5 points.

"Toot"

Popovich finally called a timeout again, and he had to put the finishing touches on it.

"Oh, Greg asked for a timeout again, we can see that this is the first time the Spurs have encountered this in a game this season, they are five points behind their opponents for the first time with four minutes left in the game, the Los Angeles Clippers played really well tonight, especially the inside twin towers, if the two of them continue to maintain their excellent form, it will not be easy for the Spurs to come back."

"Let's look at a set of statistics, so far in the new season, the defending champions Spurs have not lost at home, maybe this game such a proud record is about to be ended, of course, we can't jump to conclusions now, after all, the difference between the two sides is only 5 points, with 4 minutes of game time, anything can happen, let's see how Greg will make adjustments with this timeout"

The timeout quickly passed, players from both sides returned to the court, and the game resumed, with the Clippers taking the lead.

When Griffin served from the baseline and passed the ball to Beverley, all the players began to move forwardcourt, including Clippers center Jordan Jr.

At this time, while everyone was waiting for the Clippers to organize this offense next, the referee's whistle sounded.

What's going on?

"Oh, Danny Green fouled, he pulled DeAndrew's little Jordan's arm, and the referee signaled for Danny Green to foul, huh? Jordan Jr. walked to the free-throw line? ”

"Oh, okay, the Spurs' fouls have run out in the fourth quarter, and there is nothing wrong with Jordan Jr. walking to the free throw line, but I can't understand it, and to be honest, it seems that Danny Green's foul action just now is not necessary at all" There was a lot of discussion at the scene.

Little Jordan, who walked on the free throw line, looked at the basket not far away without being noticed by outsiders and showed a headache expression, damn, labor and management hate free throws the most in their lives.

Not surprisingly, Jordan Jr., who had a bad free throw, missed the next two free throws, and it was the Spurs' turn to attack, but Jin Feng's outside three-point miss did not seize the opportunity to narrow the score.

As soon as Beverley advanced to the midfield position with the ball, the referee's whistle sounded again, and it was another foul from the Spurs player, this time the referee blew a foul on Aldridge, and the target of his foul was Jordan Jr. again.

By this time, many people had finally gradually reacted.

"God, Greg sacrificed the "slash shark" tactic, poor DeAndrew, little Jordan, his moment of pain has come"

"Haha, Greg Popovich is so bad, every time he does it, it's really reminiscent of that part of history"

In the first round of the Western Conference in the 07-08 playoffs, the Spurs eliminated the Suns 4-1, and in the West at that time, the Suns and the Spurs had no grudges, so Phoenix traded O'Neal in the middle of the season to limit Duncan, but things didn't go as planned. In the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the two teams faced each other again, but Popovich presented a "slashing shark" tactic in this round of the series, and the rhythm was disrupted a lot for the Suns, who are accustomed to playing small-ball style, in which O'Neal averaged 12.8 free throws per game, but only hit 6.4. After losing the series, O'Neal complained throughout the summer and even before the start of the 2008-09 season, and Popovich apparently listened.

After the start of the 08-09 season, the Spurs and the Suns met after the first week, at the beginning of the game, O'Neal and Duncan were in the middle circle ready to jump the ball, but Duncan did not jump after the referee threw the ball, the Suns naturally got the ball, just when Nash was about to organize the attack, the Spurs' Finley firmly grabbed O'Neal's arm, and the referee immediately blew a foul.

At this time, O'Neal was still quite puzzled, and even the commentary said "Idontbelieveit, 5second", and began to foul in 5 seconds, until O'Neal saw Popovich on the bench laughing at him with two thumbs up, O'Neal also laughed, and the audience also laughed when the camera cut over.

Duncan talked about it after the game, and also said that the 5-second shark cut was arranged by Popovich, like a joke.

It can only be said that the old man was too witty, and he resolved the "grievances" between the two with one move, and left such a classic story.

In fact, Nelson Sr. also had a story with the shark.

Old Nelson is a pioneer in cutting sharks, sharks once publicly said that old Nelson is a clown, and later old Nelson wore a clown nose mask in a game, and the shark is also happy, which can be regarded as a laugh to avoid grudges

It can only be said that the reason why some people are called masters is not only reflected in the creation on the court, but also in many aspects.

It's just that Popovich is so bad for poor little Jordan!
