The Lakers and Spurs started their first round of G2 on April 21, two days after G1 was played.

In the past two days, the outside world is destined to be very noisy.

As the winner of the last game, Popovich has always despised Coach D and the Lakers in interviews, but the experience of the past three years has taught him that it is impossible for him to really despise Coach D and the Lakers.

He's already lost two straight games to Coach D and the Lakers in the playoffs, and one loss is worse than the other.

So, after knowing that Coach D didn't really give up on this series, Popovich has been trying to know what Coach D is doing now.

"Coach D is a sinister head coach to the extreme, is it possible that G1 and I will play a defensive battle, G2 will suddenly change the style of play, Wade, Seth Curry, suddenly start, and even Kobe, Maddie and Yao Ming, some of these three will suddenly come back?"

Popovich frowned suspiciously.

“……”

And Budenholzer next to him was directly silent.

"Bobo, you may think too much, Kobe, Maddy, Yao Ming this season, has been reimbursed, Coach D announced it before the playoffs started, Coach D, never lie."

After Budenholzer finished speaking, Popovich sighed.

"I also know it's impossible, but, apart from this possibility, I really can't think of any possibility, so that Coach D thinks that Garnett can withstand Tim, and the Lakers can beat us, if it is not for Maddy, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming to come back, is there any other possibility?"

This is true, so, this time Budenholzer did not contradict Popovich.

And at this moment, in Popovich's hotel room, Spurs general manager Buford rushed in excitedly.

"Bobo, we found out, what the Lakers have been doing in the past two days!"

"Oh?!"

Hearing Buford's words, Popovich stood up excitedly.

Ever since the Lakers' vice president, Jeanie Buss, was accepted by Coach D, the inside news of the Lakers has been too hard to come by.

The Lakers don't talk about being monolithic now, but basically there is no undercover agent who deliberately puts news out there to sell money.

Jeanie Buss is very ruthless, not to mention those staff, even if some Lakers celebrities dare to act as internal responses to outside media reporters, and come to the Lakers training ground to sell news as celebrities, Jeanie Buss will definitely not tolerate it.

Jeanie Buss removed two Lakers legends before this year's playoffs.

In the conversation of the Lakers' internal rectification, Jeanie Buss even let go.

"Even if Jerry West betrays intelligence, I dare to touch him!"

Of course, it is impossible for Jerry West to sell out the intelligence of the Lakers, and Jeanie Buss is mainly expressing an attitude.

Most people don't believe other people who say that, but this one is Jeanie Buss.

Jeanie Buss said something like that, and most of the Lakers' internal staff believed it.

Jeanie Bass is such an unscrupulous ruthless person.

Especially her cronies, but it is very clear that she even colluded with the Celtics to make trouble in the curtain call match of her father Old Bass, and wanted to use the hands of the Celtics to kill Old Bass and resign Jim Bass in shame.

If it weren't for Coach D, in that game, both Old Bass and Little Bass would have been by Jeanie Buss.

Such a person, if you think she is an ordinary woman, it is indeed too naïve.

So, Budenholzer looked at Buford suspiciously, don't be a trap!

After being pulled by Bufodra's sleeve, Popovich also understood in an instant.

Seeing the questioning expressions on Popovich and Budenholzer's faces, Buford smiled and placed his phone on the table.

"This person has now resigned, took a lot of money, went to Miami to enjoy life, in the NBA, there is nothing that money can't solve, if it really can't be solved, it can only be that the money is not enough."

After Buford finished speaking, Popovich and Budenholzer were stunned for a moment.

"Makes sense."

Popovich smiled, and Budenholzer let go of the doubts in his mind.

Then, he was stunned by the contents of these phones that Buford had brought.

"48 hours of live footage from the Lakers' training ground!"

"Is this man so ruthless?!"

It's not an ordinary candid photo, nor is it an ordinary candid video, but directly in a remote position, secretly filming the Lakers training gym for 48 hours!

Although the picture of the video is not so clear because the shooting position is not good, it is still easy to recognize.

"These two people who are practicing with each other right now are Garnett and Barkley, right?"

"The two who are practicing heads-up are Pierce and Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo's defense, it's great, I can see a lot of Stephen's shadow in him!"

After all, Antetokounmpo's defensive skills came from Stephen Jackson.

And Stephen Jackson's skills come from Popovich and Budenholzer, Bowen them.

It does feel familiar.

These players on the Lakers are very distinctive, so even if they are far away, they know who they are and what they are doing.

"Coach D didn't practice any tactical system, he was all practicing heads-up!"

"Garnett is practicing heads-up, Barkley is practicing heads-up, Pierce is practicing heads-up, everybody is practicing heads-up!"

"Especially the three veterans Garnett and Barkley Pierce!"

"Coach D isn't really ready to put all his hopes on the three veterans he focuses on this season, right?"

"Garnett was blown up by Thiem in the last game, Barkley played 1 minute in the last game, and he didn't even have any stats, Pierce was defending Kowhey in the last game, and there was almost no threat to the offense, and now Coach D and the Lakers need offense, right? Can these guys bring offense to the Lakers? Why am I so unconvinced? ”

A lot of people in the Spurs don't believe it.

And Popovich will not believe it even more.

Just kidding, that's it?

Heads-up can really break down our Spurs' defense, especially if you have a heads-up player like Kobe, it will really make it difficult for the Spurs.

But, do you have one?

Pierce at the peak will still make me jealous, but for now, Pierce ......

Hehe.

Popovich watched the video and laughed when he watched it.

From shock to smile, it's Popovich's mood change for those of the Spurs.

They really didn't expect Coach D to do such a thing at this time.

Then, looking at it, they were shocked again!

Although they have been jumping and watching the video, they ......

"Garnett, Pierce, these two must have been training for more than 12 hours in the past two days, right?"

"Is Coach D crazy? Didn't he know there was a game between the Lakers and the Spurs tonight? He actually let Garnett and Pierce practice all morning, oh my God! ”

"That's a good thing, maybe in tonight's game, the Spurs don't have to work too hard, they can easily beat the Lakers!"

Listen to the excited and excited voices of the people around you.

Popovich, who had recovered from the shock, frowned.

It's so ruthless!

It's really ruthless!

After the last game between the Lakers and the Spurs, Coach D was too ruthless with Pierce and Garnett!

"Regarding the behavior of Coach D in this series, if Coach D and Pierce Garnett have a deep hatred, I believe it!"

"Is this going to put Pierce and Garnett's physical strength on the training pitch and get on the pitch for the two to be beaten by Tim and Kawai? Hahahaha, Coach D's method of revenge is really chic, hahahaha......"

"I thought that Coach D would have some secret weapon, it was closed training, and he didn't give up, it turned out to be ...... That's it? Hahahaha......"

Listening to such laughter, Popovich's face also smiled again.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Coach D, indeed, it's over!

Even he doesn't know what Coach D is doing now, maybe Coach D really can't do anything, he's just getting nervous.

Just as the Spurs gathered around to watch the Lakers' training gym video for the past 48 hours.

ESPN and many other U.S. media outlets have posted this video on the Internet.

Isn't it a sale to sell one, to sell two, three, to countless homes?

There was no such opportunity before.

Now the whole world cares so much about what Coach D and the Lakers are doing, they have betrayed, and they have betrayed completely.

So, just when the Spurs were shocked by Coach D's 48-hour closed-door play, the entire network was actually equally shocked.

Even those who were expecting that Coach D could really lead the Lakers to fight back against the Spurs in this series were dumbfounded at this time.

That's it?

Coach D closed the Lakers in training, and he practiced these things?

Garnett learned to play with Barkley?

At least eight hours a day?

Barkley's previous back play was certainly strong, one of the strongest in league history, but now, isn't Barkley also a rookie?

Two rookies peck at each other, what can they peck out?

And Pierce, what's the use of Pierce practicing singles now?

Defending Leonard was enough for him to exhaust all his stamina.

Offense, for Pierce, doesn't mean anything at all!

What's more!

"Didn't Coach D say that he was going to fight Popovich defensively? If you really want to attack, why don't you just bring Wade and Seth Curry up? Or is it that Coach D wants to rely on the original team of the Lakers in the last game to surpass the Spurs in scoring without losing the defense? ”

"As long as the Lakers don't have a group of players like Wade and Seth Curry, even if they practice their legs, they won't be able to score 70 points in front of the Spurs, and it's good to score 60 points in the last game!"

After this video was leaked, the voice of online discussion exploded directly.

On the other side, in the office of the vice president of the Lakers, the expression on Aunt Jenny's face was very calm, which made those cronies around her very worried.

They really didn't expect that there would be a traitor among their cronies!

To be able to install equipment at the Lakers' practice ground and not be discovered by inspectors is, of course, a close confidant of Aunt Jenny.

This traitor is the main executor of the Lakers' always leaks back then, originally to carry out Aunt Jenny's orders, and now to make money.

This traitor, and all these people here, have a lot of news.

"Jenny, don't you have to deal with it?"

"I'm already dealing with it."

“……”

After Aunt Jenny finished speaking coldly, everyone else around was stupid.

Dealt with?

How did they not know that Jenny was already dealing with it?

Aunt Jenny didn't pay attention to these people, but looked out the window and muttered to herself.

"Do you really think that if you have money, you will go to heaven? Perhaps, that would be ...... The beginning of hell is over. ”

She has too many ways to make this guy go bankrupt.

No matter how rich he is, in a place like the United States, he can casually go bankrupt.

Like what......

Since you are not a peaceful person, it is naturally impossible for you to withstand those ill-gotten gains.

Aunt Jenny snorted coldly.

She didn't care if the traitor left with the money and slapped them in the face.

The only thing she cares about now is that the Lakers are already difficult right now, and Coach D is already very simple, but now, it's even tougher.

"What about public opinion on the Internet?"

Hearing that Aunt Jenny didn't care about the traitor, but asked about the public opinion on the Internet, the cronies around were relieved, they were really afraid that Aunt Jenny would even suspect them.

The distrust that that traitor brought was too great.

"Jenny, now the Internet is full of ridicule and ridicule for Coach D and the Lakers...... We have become the ...... of the whole world Joke. ”

The laughing stock of the world......

This is not surprising.

Before this video came out, in fact, Coach D and the Lakers had already collapsed in public opinion and became everyone's laughing stock.

Do you really think that Coach D can win if he is serious?

Dream your big dreams!

Jeanie Buss is also one of those people who believe that if Coach D is serious, he will definitely win.

And now......

"I hope Coach D won't be humiliated too much in this playoffs......"

When the people around heard this, they didn't dare to speak.

There's really no way to say anything, Coach D, this time, it's really miserable.

Du Kang took the Lakers to a closed training, although it was closed, but it was not ignorant of the news outside.

The video of the Lakers' secret training in the past two days has been leaked, and the Lakers' secrets have been made public.

This left the Lakers players and coaching staff at a loss for what to say.

The Lakers are really the weirdest team in the league.

Even though Jenny Bass and Jim Bass have now released their past suspicions and are no longer pitting each other, the nails that were buried before are still exploding.

Actually, it's understandable.

At that time, Aunt Jenny's cronies followed Aunt Jenny, because they felt that they had a future, and Aunt Jenny was in power, and they were the ministers of the dragon, so even if they were guarding the gate, they were willing, and they might become department heads and department presidents by guarding the gate.

But now that Aunt Jenny and Jim Shu have shaken hands and made peace, Aunt Jenny can't get on the throne at all, so they naturally have no hope, no future, and the gatekeeper can really only be the gatekeeper, if you want to become a supervisor, become a CEO, and go to the pinnacle of life, it is impossible.

There are so many positions, and if the people of Jim Shu do not die, they naturally cannot have a future.

If the future is gone, then you can only make money, otherwise you really bring dry food to the Lakers to show the door?

This is also the reason why Aunt Jenny did not retaliate publicly.

Because, it really is her own problem.

It was she who let the team down.

She didn't succeed in getting to the top and gave up her position in the future, the people she can arrange will be very limited, and those who are not arranged will naturally have other ideas, which is normal.

Therefore, these people want to leave, but Aunt Jenny is letting people leave with a lot of money, and everything is fine.

Unexpectedly, there was such a fierce one in the end.

I can't look down on Aunt Jenny's severance pay, and I have to earn it myself.

The team isn't in great shape right now, and now that something like this is happening, Nash, Clifford and Ham are all waiting for Coach D to get angry.

I just didn't expect it......

"The coach actually treated this thing as if it didn't exist......"

Nash was shocked to see Du Kang, who was working as a technical guide for Pierce, Garnett, and Barkley.

Du Kang still has a smile on his face.

There was nothing affected by the traitor incident at all.

"Paul, in the next game, as long as you feel that you can attack, you can attack, and how you play at your peak, you can play in the next game."

After Du Kang finished speaking, Pierce was stunned.

Since the regular season performed like Xiang on the offensive end, being brought into the playoffs by Coach D and his young teammates, Pierce vowed that in the playoffs, he would defend with all his might, never attack, and he would expend his energy where he was still strong and not hold his teammates back.

So, hearing Du Kang's words, Pierce was really surprised.

"Coach, you don't know how well I played on the offensive end of the regular season?"

Du Kang smiled and looked at Pierce, who was puzzled and surprised at this time, and shook his head.

"So what does it matter? Paul, have you ever heard of a famous quote from Kobe? ”

Pierce looked at the smile on Du Kang's face, and subconsciously remembered the Kobe 1747 game!

In that game, Kobe's opponent was none other than Pierce.

The whole world knows that Kobe Bryant is out of the universe.

didn't know that Kobe Bryant almost took the Lakers, and he really caught up, relying on persistence, stubbornness, crazy shots, crazy inefficient scoring, and in the last 2 minutes and 16 seconds of overtime, when he made his 45th shot and hit his 16th goal of the game, he tied the score with the Lakers, 93-93.

Seeing that the Celtics are about to collapse, and seeing that the Lakers are going to win under the leadership of Kobe.

Finally Pierce stepped up.

After Kobe Bryant hit a two-point shot, Pierce turned around with a three-pointer, which suppressed Kobe's iron arrogance.

In the end, it also made this game, which could have become the masterpiece of Kobe's career, one of the most shameful games of Kobe's career.

Pierce, the three-point point that nailed Kobe Bryant to the 1747 shame post and made many die-hard Cormi gnash his teeth, was the only three-point shot by Pierce in overtime.

The only shot, and the shot under so much pressure, hit.

In this world, there are not many people who can withstand Kobe Bryant, who is already crazy.

Pierce, is one of them.

However, in that overtime, Kobe Bryant made 9 crazy shots and hit 2 times, but Kobe still dared to shoot.

Pierce, on the other hand, only had 1 shot.

If Kobe Bryant really overtook the Lakers in that game, then this game, Pierce, is the biggest pot to bear.

Pierce gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

Kobe, Maddy, Ray Allen, Iverson, Carter, and even James, none of these people, he is convinced!

The coach saw it.

But......

Thinking about his performance on the offensive end of this year's regular season, Pierce sighed in his heart.

"Paul, do you know the biggest difference between you and Kobe?"

Dukang looked at Pierce with a smile.

"Thirty-one, Paul, do you dare to shoot?"
