On June 5, the day of the Lakers' home court and the Celtics' finals.

After yesterday's Jokic crazy incident, the Lakers, who were about to fall apart, finally returned to normal once again with the intervention of Coach D.

But even so, as the acting head coach of the Lakers, Popovich's face is not so good now, and at a glance, it can be seen that Popovich should have lost sleep last night.

He was already very bald, but he felt that after a night, he became more bald, and at the same time, he also felt a lot haggard.

This made Garnett, who had a special relationship with Popovich, a little worried at this time.

"This old thing won't collapse, will it?"

Popovich is under a lot of pressure right now, especially after Jokic's incident, and his already stressful pressure has become even greater.

That is, Popovich, the average head coach has insomnia, and it is difficult to say whether he can withstand it.

Garnett was really worried, and Popovich was a little overwhelmed.

This old thing isn't that young anymore.

The most important thing is that in the dream, this old guy has been angry with himself on the field several times......

Well, the feeling of palpitations.

At this time, Popovich, who was being cared about by Garnett, naturally didn't know what Garnett was thinking, and Popovich's eyes were all on the Lakers players at this time.

Popovich's eyes are like scanners, surveying the state of his players.

Popovich breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that these players on the team were not re-affected by Jokic's incident after Coach D's intervention.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Popovich now feels extremely lucky, really lucky.

As for what happened to him yesterday, Coach D has enough reasons to send him directly and politely out of the Lakers now, and even Coach D will not have any pressure at all, and he will not be able to go back even to the Spurs without leaving the Lakers, no one wants him, not even the American team.

Because he's mad a young player.

This is definitely the most serious mistake of political correctness.

If he can't coach in the future, it's still a trivial matter, and if he really has this stain, he won't have any status in the coaching world in the future, and anyone who ranks the historical status of the American coaching community will not put his name on it.

Do you see that now someone dares to put art students on the Mingjun list, and they don't dare to put them on the tyrant list, they can only be regarded as a non-existent air and taboo.

Coach D really saved his coaching career yesterday.

At the same time, this incident also reminded him that the times are different, and the current players, these post-90s players, are completely different from Tim, Manu, and even Parker, who are post-80s.

These young players are so TM and have a lot of personality.

That's true of Leonard, and so is Jokic.

If he wants to coach in the NBA in the future, he needs to pay attention to his own ways and methods, otherwise, sooner or later, he will be eliminated, from a historical champion coach to a fish belly coach.

The Lakers players are back in normal condition, which gives Popovich a lot of confidence.

Celtic are a strong team.

But the Lakers aren't weak either.

Popovich knows the Lakers well by now.

Looking at the Lakers players who were training at this time, Popovich ranked these Lakers players in his heart.

The three highest-rated players on the Lakers are, of course, Garnett, Wade, and Barkley.

Garnett and Wade are both S-rated players.

Barkley is a special S-level player, who can only play one game in two games, play one game and rest one, and even in the game he plays, it is best not to exceed 25 minutes.

However, in these 25 minutes, Barkley's strength is S-level.

By the way, there is a level above the S-level in his heart, S+, this level is god-level, not permanent, Jordan is usually an S-level player, but he has played S+ level seasons for many seasons, such as Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant is also an S-level player, but they have played S+ seasons.

These players are actually S-level in normal times, but if they are pressed, they can turn into S+ super-spec players at any time.

Such a player is extremely special, and only four people in the entire history of the NBA have given Popovich such a feeling with their fingers crossed.

Jordan, Kobe, Yao Ming and ...... Mcgrady.

Even Olajuwon, Duncan, Nowitzki, and Wade in 2006, these super S-level players who have won the championship with a single core, are all a little bit away from S+, well, they were already invincible when they led the team to win the championship, but they were still a little bit invincible.

Joe, Ke, Yao, Mai, that's really the invincible kind that makes people desperate.

O'Neal, Olajuwon, Duncan, Wade, Nowitzki and Garnett and Yi, Oden, they're strong enough, but if you're really looking for shortcomings, you can find a little bit of a way to target.

And the above four are really desperate.

Jordan, he may not be that familiar.

And Yao Ming, Maddie and Kobe, in the past two years, really scared him and made the entire league tremble.

Now when the NBA media selects the top 10 in NBA history, it is no longer one list, but divided into two lists.

One is the top 10 in history.

One is the top 10 in strength.

The top four in the top ten are Jordan, Yao Ming, Maddie and Kobe, note, these four people are in one gear, and the others are in another gear.

Don't think it's blowing Yao Ming and Maddie.

Olajuwon even said in an interview that the strongest player in NBA history is either Jordan or Yao Ming.

"You can't imagine what kind of existence a center can cut four doubles on the court as long as he wants, or even an average of four doubles per game, his strength is not only in the data, his dominance on the court is even more terrible than his data, he is the only player in NBA history who can fall behind 0-3 in the Finals, because only he can do it like a god on the court, dominate his opponents, dominate everything, not disrespectful to Michael, Yao is Coach D's greatest work, and the most powerful work. ”

Yes, in the field of professionals in the NBA now, Yao Ming is even more powerful than Jordan.

Only professionals can understand how powerful Yao Ming was in the 2014 playoffs!

The smile that became too big, the Honkai laughter that dominated the opponent and played with the opponent.

What the fans see is magic.

What they see is the devil!

If Jordan is the strongest protagonist in NBA history.

Then Yao Ming is the most powerful villain in NBA history!

So, Qiao, Yao, Ke, Mai, these four people are subdivided, Qiao and Yao are in the first block, and Mai and Ke are in the first block.

Fortunately, in this series, neither team has players of the level of these four people.

The Lakers' Wade, Garnett, and Barkley are S-rated players.

The Celtics' James, Paul and Bushy Eyebrows are also S-level players.

The Lakers' Seth Curry, Pierce is an A-level player.

And Celtic's Gay, Randolph, is also an A-level player.

In terms of the peak combat effectiveness of the two teams, it seems to be about the same.

Of course, in addition to peak combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the role players of both teams is definitely stronger for the Lakers.

McCarvey, Antetokounmpo, and Ibanks, although these three don't know much about stand-up singles, but in addition to stand-up singles, these three are superstar-level strength, superb role players, and his favorite kind of perfect supporting role.

Of course, the Celtics' Jeff Green, Smart and others are also very good role players, but no matter how good they are, they are certainly not as good as these players on the Lakers' side.

If it weren't for off-court factors, Popovich didn't even think he needed to worry and need to lose sleep.

Although the head coach of the Celtics, Magical Monty, is known as the only coach in the NBA who is open to D coaches.

However, as the half master of the magical Monty, Popovich certainly admires Monty Williams very much, and any head coach who can play with Coach D, even if it is a game, is respectable enough.

What's more, the magical Monty can do it almost every game and have a five-to-five match with Coach D.

This one is even more respectable.

However, being able to play with Coach D doesn't mean that you can beat him as easily as Coach D!

In his heart, there will always be only one Coach D!

So, for Popovich, the biggest opponent in this series is not Monty Williams, not Celtic players such as James, Paul and Thick Eyebrows.

In this series, his biggest opponent is the god behind the scenes, just like Coach D!

So, that's what he's all about in this series!

Kill these shady gods hiding behind the basketball!

After the morning routine, Popovich was busy.

Because Coach D is hidden again, he is now the person who has attracted the most attention in this finals.

I don't know how many media reporters are squatting at this time.

The flow of Wade's feud showdown with James is now not worth him.

Too many people want to ask him about Jokic, about Coach D, about the Lakers, about the Spurs, about Leonard, about Monty Williams, and so on.

On the other hand, Monty Williams is relatively laid-back.

His coaching style makes him less worried about these things.

Of course, he is also working on it.

Because, according to the information he got from Danny Angie.

In this Finals, he and his team won't get as much help as much at first.

Help will definitely be there.

But since it is for whitewashing, in the absence of Coach D, of course, they hope to win more credibility.

After all, there are not so many blind people in this world.

Even if victory can make people blind, but if the win is more convincing, it will still be very beneficial to rebuild James's brand.

"You're the magic Monty, Coach D can take such a weak Lakers to beat the powerful Spurs led by Popovich, and the team you lead is much stronger than Coach D's Lakers, you won't say you can't do it, right?"

Hang Popovich, hang the Lakers!

That's what he's doing in this grand final.

Seriously, it's still significant.

This is a matter of course three years ago, when he didn't even think that he would one day beat Popovich.

After all, Popovich was also one of his teachers.

At the Celtics' pre-game press conference, there were certainly not as many people coming as Popovich.

However, after the magical Monty announced something in a very peaceful tone at the press conference, the entire scene of the press conference exploded.

Because the amazing Monty did something very D coach-style!

In the pre-match press conference, Marvel Monty, he announced the start of this match in advance!

And!

In this set of Celtics' starters, there is no name of LeBron James!!

Thick eyebrows, Zach Randolph, Jeff Green, Rudy Gaye, Chris Paul!

"That's the starting lineup for this game against Celtic."

After the magical Monty finished smiling, all the reporters at the scene were in an uproar.

James, Finals sub, Marvel Monty, how dare he!

Because it's really incredible!

No one who knows James will believe that this can happen!

So, at the first time, everyone didn't believe it.

"Monty, did you just say something wrong? LeBron James bench, are you really right? ”

"I'm very clear, I'm pretty sure, there's nothing wrong with my lineup, LeBron James, this game, will be on the bench."

Oh my God!

The scene was once again noisy and shocked.

A moment later, a reporter from Los Angeles stood up excitedly.

"Amazing Monty, you can't fool us, this must be a trick, you can't fool us, and you can't fool Popovich!"

Faced with the accusations of the Los Angeles reporters at the scene, Magical Monty smiled and did not speak.

He's just so indifferent.

That's his coaching style.

You hit yours.

I hit mine.

That's Monty Williams' coaching style.

So, he's the only person in the NBA who hasn't been intimidated by Coach D, who hasn't been deceived by Coach D's schemes.

There is almost no chance that these Los Angeles reporters will try to use such words to cover his words.

After Monty Williams announced James' starting lineup for the bench before the game, reporters all flocked to Popovich.

Popovich was also confused.

Putting James on the bench?

What is this Nima's operation?

Popovich was the first to think that Monty Williams was joking.

Nima's!

Who doesn't know that James is wearing the strongest god costume, and James in the finals may have to catch up with the four true gods of the NBA in terms of strength.

Don't put such a player, put it on the bench?

You're kidding me!

Popovich, who has been fighting against the Divine Costume Void and has been thinking about how to break the Divine Costume and defeat the Divine Costume behind the Celtics, can't imagine the behavior of Magical Monty who took the initiative to seal off the Divine Costume at all.

Finally, Popovich frowned.

"I don't know why Monty said that before the game, I don't know if it's a conspiracy, and now, the only thing I can tell you is that no matter how Monty and the Celtics change, the winner of this game will be the Lakers!"

Popovich is a manager who thinks a lot.

Although he was very confident in his pre-match press conference.

But after the press conference, Popovich was still thinking about it.

There must be some conspiracy!

So what the hell is the conspiracy?!

Monty Williams guessed the Lakers' starting point for this game?

In fact, there is no need to guess the Lakers' starters at all, there is no Jokic, plus there is Randolph opposite.

It was definitely Garnett and Ross Barkley who started together.

Wait a minute?!

Monty is trying to stagger James and Barkley?!!!

Let Randolph consume Barkley and let James reap the ?!!! off the bench

Randolph......

This man is definitely one of the eternal pains in his heart!

What was Tim consumed by him back then?

Leave the starting XI to Randolph in charge.

Not only could Randolph consume Barkley.

You can even consume Garnett together!

This big black bear, give him enough autonomy, and not a shooter who opens up space, he can stir up the world!

If Garnett and Barkley were really exhausted by Randolph.

Then the Lakers are absolutely dangerous!!

Putting James on the bench is really incredible.

However, James' bench could completely unleash the power of Zach Randolph!

There is a thick eyebrow assist next to it, and the thick eyebrow's co-defense is stronger than that of the big white bear, and the single defense of the thick eyebrow is not weak after gaining weight this season.

Plus there are two wings on either side, Jeff Green and Guy, and Paul as a super playmaker.

The power of this big black bear is definitely an enhanced version of the big black bear of the previous grizzly bear!

Fully upgraded and enhanced!

He got the league's No. 1 spur planted in this guy's hands.

This time, Monty wants him to plant it again!

Popovich felt like he figured out the underlying logic behind Monty Williams' use of James off the bench.

However, here comes the problem again.

Monty Williams can obviously sneak attack him, but if he is attacked by him, he will lose half his life even if he doesn't die.

So, why did Monty Williams tell him about the starting lineup in advance?

Popovich instantly felt that his head was running out of capacity.

Even, he actually felt a trace of what he felt when he fought with Coach D!

Popovich looked at his palm.

His palms, actually, sweated!

And on the other side.

"Monty, why is LeBron on the bench, it's a conspiracy, it's fake, right?!"

"No, really."

"Why, do you have any special tactics?!"

"There are no special tactics."

Danny Angie was stupid.

"I just want everyone to have fun, our players are good enough, as long as they can play happily and play to their full strength, they can win the championship with me."

“……”

Danny Angie was already speechless in shock.

Why?

Whether it's Coach D or Magical Monty, why do you always like to say that you are a player's pendant?

Why do they always like to say that they have no ability, they are strong players, and they are just rookies who are carried by players.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a record to prove it, he would have even believed it.

So, the big war is coming, can you not joke?

Forget it, Danny Angel breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't dwell on this.

Changed the subject.

"In that case, why did you announce our starters in advance, and since there was no conspiracy, why didn't you surprise the Lakers and Popovich?"

Danny Angie's question even made Monty Williams laugh.

"Danny, you don't know Bobo, the effect of a sudden attack on Bobo is not as good as that of a card."

“……”

What's that?

Is it good to surprise an attack without an open card?

Danny Angie didn't understand.

But, Du Kang understands.

Because, he often plays with Popovich like this.

"Magical Monty...... Sure enough, it's my lifelong enemy......"

He doesn't have the confidence to lead the Lakers to defeat the Warriors in god costumes, so he needs Popovich's help.

He also doesn't have the confidence to lead the Lakers to defeat the Celtics in god costumes that the magical Monty is carrying, so he also needs Popovich to explore the way first, Popovich can lose, and he, in the Lakers, can't lose...... Especially not to lose to the magical Monty.

"Bobo, you, you may be in danger......"
