Chapter 200: Popovich, who was ridiculed by the group, the finals are coming!
Early the next morning, there was a big wave on the Internet.
What happened at yesterday's post-match press conference was reported by major news outlets.
For a moment, no one in the entire alliance was not discussing this matter.
There are even some players who directly stand up and accuse.
The first to bear the brunt is O'Neill.
"Popovich is embarrassed to say Han Ning?! The shark slashing tactic is what he uses the most! Also, did the Spurs play clean?! Do you need me to say more?! β
Starting with O'Neal, a group of players who have been victimized by Popovich have stepped up.
You must know that after Han Ning came to this league, he did offend many coaches.
But among the players, he still has a good reputation.
And how many years has Popovich been in the league?!
He has offended many more people than Han Ning over the years!
Carter: "Hehe, Popovich don't say anything like that. If you can discipline one of your players, I think there will be a lot fewer injured players in the league next season. β
Nash: "Basketball is a sport, it shouldn't be a boxing ring!" When Mr. Popovich connived at fouls by his players, he should have thought that he would be where he is today. Of course, a young manager should also respect the sport. It seems to me that the two of them are half a pound and a tael, and they are just each other. β
Big Dog Glenn Robinson: "Hehe, I don't understand what's wrong with Popovich." Skills are not as good as others, and if you lose, you lose. What's the point of a tongue-in-cheek gift?! What's more, you can't talk about others. I really don't know if your old face can still hang up?! β
...........
After these players who had some grievances with Popovich complained, some players who were friendly with the Rockets or had a good relationship with Han Ning also stood up.
Aaron Iverson: "I know exactly what kind of person Han Ning is. He won against Popovich, it's as simple as that. Those unnecessary remarks should not appear after the game. Mr. Popovich, despite his prestige, also needs to be careful about his words and actions. β
Kobe: "Hanning is one of the best coaches in this league. I am not surprised that he won Popovich. Popovich's remarks struck me as a little naΓ―ve. After all, when the Spurs played against the Lakers, what he did, I can't forget. β
...........
After the players made their comments, the players who joined in the fun also started talking about it on the Internet.
But between the words, most of them are teasing Popovich.
The reason is simple.
Popovich's own coaching style isn't much clean.
A head coach with a player like Bruce Bowen under his hands, can he be clean?!
Therefore, Popovich's previous accusations against Han Ning were considered by many in the alliance to be a thief shouting to catch a thief.
And the current Popovich is not the Popovich who will lead the Spurs to 5 championships in the future and have coaches all over the league.
His prestige has not yet reached its peak.
In addition, Han Ning's performance this season is really amazing.
led the Rockets to a complete rise and entered the Finals.
This kind of leader-style personal heroism has moved countless American football fans.
Hence the emergence of such a large-scale ridicule of Popovich.
Han Ning looked at the trend of public opinion on the Internet, and his heart was already happy.
Accuse me from the moral high ground?!
You have to see if you're clean enough!
You've got you covered this time!
And Popovich was depressed after seeing the public opinion on the Internet.
This time his old face was a clean one.
............
This incident with Popovich is over.
And Han Ning and the Rockets' journey this season is not over.
Time passes day by day.
Finally, the day of the finals has come!
Due to the regular season, the Rockets won more games than the Eastern Conference champions Nets.
So in the format of the Finals, the Rockets have the advantage.
The first two games will be played at the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! β
As soon as you walk into the Toyota Center arena, you can hear the excited shouts of the Rockets fans.
The entire Toyota Center arena is not only full of Rockets fans.
There are also many business bigwigs and stars in the entertainment industry, all sitting in the first row at this time, ready to watch this season's finals.
In addition, some of the Rockets' decorated veterans also appeared on the scene.
The most surprising thing for Han Ning was that he also saw many Chinese stars appearing at the scene.
It can be said that the finals have attracted a lot of attention.
This also made Han Ning's heart feel a little excited.
The more big scenes like this, the more fun the challenge becomes!
couldn't help but set his eyes on the Nets players who were warming up not far away.
If it was before, the Rockets were going to face the Nets, and Han Ning might still be apprehensive in his heart.
After all, with Jason Kidd, a master of passing, he can perfectly play the advantages of Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson, two players with strong flank breakthrough ability.
Relying on blocking and dismantling tactics, it can also pose a big threat to the Rockets.
But now, after Dazhi learned the shooting action of Golden Rooster Independence, the strength of the Rockets has greatly increased.
A Nets team, Han Ning doesn't pay much attention to it anymore.
"Toot!"
The whistle blew and the game officially began.
"Audience friends! Audience friends! Welcome to the first game of the 2002-2003 NBA Playoffs Finals! The Rockets host the Nets! I'm the narrator Su Dong. Su Dong shouted loudly in the live broadcast room.
Zhang Weiping on the side also smiled and nodded, and then said: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Weiping." β
"Today's game, I will be guided by Su Dongsu and I, and we will explain it for you on the spot!"
As this year's finals were attended by two Chinese players and a Chinese head coach.
Therefore, Huaxia Sports Channel directly spent a huge amount of money and brought the live broadcast team to the United States for live broadcast.
And the Rockets are also very welcoming to these Chinese.
After all, the Rocket team can have such results this year, and the role of Han Ning and others is quite large.
Moreover, Da Yao is still Alexander's cash cow. Alexander also had no reason to refuse.
The staff of the Rocket Team specially renovated a box in the Toyota Center Arena and turned it into a temporary live broadcast room of Huaxia Sports.
This is different from the original history, when Bartel and Sun Yue entered the finals.
This year, Da Yao is the absolute main player of the team, and Dazhi is also an important rotation player.
Not to mention Han Ning, the head coach of the Rockets.
Therefore, this year's finals have attracted unprecedented attention in China.
Even many Chinese people who have never watched basketball have sat in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast of this game.
