Chapter 512 Popovich's ambition and Durant's ceiling(1/2)

In two seasons, they had 1 win and 10 losses against Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics. This record is really embarrassing.

Especially some time ago, it became the backdrop for Yes’ ten consecutive wins.

Although Duncan and the Spurs players are used to being in the background, as the team's head coach, how could he accept such humiliation!

I don’t even want to ask about this street in the NBA. What kind of level is Popovich’s insidious, cunning, and retributive man?

Don't think of him as a kind old grandfather just because he has some white hair and beard now.

Sorry, in the future, maybe he will disguise himself as a kind grandfather for some special purposes, but now, he is still the white guy who wants to win the next championship and challenge the status of the greatest coach in NBA history.

demon!

Last season, he felt that the Spurs had a chance to reach the finals and win the championship.

However, they were dragged down by yes and the Seattle SuperSonics in the regular season, and finally were swept by the super performance of yes and the SuperSonics in the playoffs!

At the end of last season, when he went to bed at night, Popovich would be tossing and turning every time he thought of the moment when Nash and the Suns lifted the championship trophy.

Because the Suns easily won the cup, he really felt that as long as they passed Yes and the SuperSonics, the Spurs would be a more suitable team to win the championship than the Suns.

Last season can be said to be the most regrettable season for him.

This season, he is ready to make up for all the regrets from last season.

The Spurs are now strong. According to nbalive2008, the current Spurs have two of the five greatest and most powerful players in the history of the Spurs!

And there are a bunch of strong players with reasonable structure and experience.

The Spurs are now the most powerful team in the eyes of many media experts in the United States, besides the Suns and Rockets, even more powerful than the Big Three of the Boston Celtics in the East.

The Spurs, who are so powerful, were preparing to take revenge on Yes in the previous game where Yes won the tenth consecutive game, and they wanted to launch a counter-attack against Yes.

But the final result was that yes once again nailed him and his team to the pillar of shame.

In this season, the Spurs lost to the SuperSonics twice. In the first game, yes scored a magical 35 seconds and 13 points, and in the second game, yes completed a perfect miracle.

In the history of the NBA, no team has been as miserable as the Spurs, and no coach has been as miserable as Popovich.

He once said that he hates three-pointers the most. This is not a joke. He really hopes that all players in the NBA who can shoot three-pointers will be given the "most real sanctions" by his favorite disciple Bruce Bowen, so that

They can stay away from the NBA and return it to the 'most beautiful' pure land.

And this is why Ray Allen is the player who has been targeted the most under Bowen.

His most beloved disciple, Bruce Bowen, is so discerning and tasteful.

He is a realist.

If licking David Stern could get the Spurs the same treatment as James, he would lick David Stern without hesitation.

Not to mention David Stern, he is willing to lick even Adam Silver's sinister bald head!

But there is really no way, David Stern really can't lick it.

No matter how much he licks, David Stern will never like him and his spurs.

As a realist.

He could see the opportunity to defeat his greatest enemy, and of course he would not let it go.

The Seattle SuperSonics have always regarded the Spurs as their old enemy in the past few seasons, but the Spurs and he have never regarded the SuperSonics as their old enemy.

Now, after what the Spurs have experienced in the past two seasons, there is no doubt that the SuperSonics are the biggest rival in front of the Spurs.

It's really uncomfortable to say that even when facing the Suns and Rockets, which were at their peak in the past two seasons, the Spurs were not that miserable.

Even now, the whole world is still optimistic about the duel between the Spurs and the SuperSonics, which have welcomed back Bowen, but he really is not that relieved.

Bowen is really strong, but not everyone in the Spurs is Bowen. Bowen's performance in the last game was to the extreme. Yes didn't score a point in the first quarter, and Yes was very inefficient throughout the game.

Scored more than 20 points.

But in the end, the Spurs still lost. It was really because the other Spurs players were not worthy of Bruce Bowen's performance.

At the same time, the Spurs are indeed not strong enough to crush the SuperSonics.

Now Popovich understands that as long as the Spurs can't crush the SuperSonics in terms of strength, he really can't feel at ease against Yes.

In the past two seasons, he has really been psychologically affected by yes.

Now watching the game between the Jazz and the SuperSonics, Popovich never left Durant's eyes on the TV after the game.

Durant is the reverse scale of yes, Durant is the Achilles heel of yes!

As long as you find a player like Fisher to fight with Durant all the time, then yes won't be so scary!

8 out of 19 shots!

These are Durant's statistics for this game.

A stat that seems extremely good for a rookie.

Facing a team like the Jazz with such an excellent defense, being able to shoot 43% from the field is not something that any rookie can do.

Moreover, the level of fighting Durant faced in this game was so high, much higher than before.

When Durant faced this kind of fighting defense, he only took 19 shots and Popovich saw on TV that his hands were trembling slightly and he lowered his head to adjust his breathing.

A sign of excessive physical exertion.

You know, Durant's 19 shots in this game were the lowest number of shots in his career!

Durant had never been so tired before when he took more than 30 shots per game.

Facing such a strong defense, Durant's shooting percentage is still very stable, which is surprising.

But faced with such a fighting defense, it seems that Durant's limit of shots in a game is only 19, which is surprising!

This means that as long as Durant is given such a defense, he will not be able to kill anyone!

Under such defensive intensity, we can still maintain a recent shooting rate of about 43%, which means stability.

But when a player can only take about 19 shots at most in a high-intensity game, what's the point of such stability?

Look at what Kobe and Yes are like. Faced with such a fighting defense, they can guarantee such a stable performance even if they take forty shots!

Without the stability supported by shot numbers, there will not be enough explosive power to score. Without such explosive power, you will not be able to kill anyone!

Compared with Durant, who can only take 19 shots, and Durant, who can take 30 shots, he is simply a five!

What's more, Durant, who can only take 19 shots, will make so many mistakes for Yes!

Due to the disunion between players and coaches this season, the Jazz's strength has dropped a bit, and they were ultimately unable to solve problems like the SuperSonics and Durant.

There is no way to hit yes's reverse scales the most painfully and make yes suffer.

But the Spurs are different.

The strength of the Spurs, the players on the Spurs team, the Spurs have too many ways to defeat the Sonics and crush the Sonics!

When Jerry Sloan opened the 'Pandora's Box' against Durant, yes and the SuperSonics were no longer so strong for the Spurs.

Similarly, the Spurs will never lose to a team like the SuperSonics again!

He has Duncan and Bowen. In terms of superstars, he is a two-on-one match for yes!

He has Manu, Parker, Jackson and Durant. How many are there?

It can be said that from now on, the dream that the Spurs regretted losing last season can start to be realized again!

champion!

The championship beckons to the Spurs once again!

Popovich has a hunch that as long as he can defeat the Seattle SuperSonics in the playoffs this season, he and his Spurs can win this year's championship!

He feels the same now as he did last year.

yes and the SuperSonics are the biggest obstacles standing in front of him and his team!

After passing this obstacle, there is a smooth road ahead like stars sinking into the sea!

Popovich is excited now, really excited!

1 win and 10 losses!

Thirty-five seconds and 13 minutes!

A perfect, perfect kill!

Popovich is such a naturally strong careerist. When did he encounter so much humiliation?

From now on, Popovich will say goodbye to these so-called background boards and shame!

From now on, his Popovich ambition will follow the Spurs' stars into the sky!

After the game against the Jazz, Yees was interviewed by on-site reporters amid the cheers of Seattle SuperSonics fans.

When interviewed by reporters at the scene, except for the unstinting praise for Yeez, almost all other questions revolved around Durant.

Durant played really "badly" in this game.

The statistics are not that bad, but his performance in the game is his 'worst' this season.
