Chapter 962: The Spurs and Popovich Are About to Be Defeated!

Stephen Jackson doesn't want to play this game against the SuperSonics, really doesn't want to.

As a defensive player who thinks highly of himself, he feels that his opponents should be players like Kobe, Yes and Tracy McGrady.

Is it necessary for him to defend a player like Rondo who can defend in the air in this game?

Let him, Stephen Jackson, defend a player on the court who can't attack at all. That would be an insult to him!

If it weren't for Bowen, Brother Bao would have told him to be obedient in the Spurs when he left. Listen to Popo. If Popo dared to humiliate him like this, his violent temper would never silence him.

His pride is that he cannot do the kind of action of blocking a three-year-old's shot on the court, and it is the most brutal kind of blocking action!

In Rondo's game, in front of him, facing him, and directly pulling out him to hit the first three-pointer of the game, Stephen Jackson was shocked.

Although he was unable to defend Rondo, it was quite incredible that he could throw that kind of shot into his defense.

He was not shocked by Rondo's strength.

Haven't you seen Rondo's strength clearly in the SuperSonics' pre-game shooting practices for these ten games?

This kid may be very capable in other aspects, but when it comes to scoring ability, he really has no ability at all.

What shocked him was, was Yes's passing and organization really so magical?

Although he had heard of it before, this was the first time he encountered it.

It's not just Stephen Jackson. In fact, every time Rondo is thrown into such an offense, the look on his face is shocked.

Is a player like Rondo someone who can throw this kind of shot?

of course not!

So not only Stephen Jackson, but also Popovich and other Spurs players on the court had shock on their faces when they saw Rondo throw such a shot for the first time.

That shit-mud-on-your-face shock.

You clearly know that this guy's offense is very stinky, so stinky that you don't bother to defend him, and feel that defending him is an insult to you.

But a person who is so offensive can shame you. How do you feel?

"I can now understand why Kobe was almost driven crazy by Rondo..."

Looking at the ongoing game between the Spurs and SuperSonics on the court, Ginobili was thinking secretly in his heart.

After Rondo hit the first three-pointer, the entire Spurs team was very uncomfortable.

When Pop said that this game was going to target Rondo and restrict him, he solicited everyone's opinions.

The players had mixed emotions.

Pop needs to rebuild his reputation, and they certainly support it.

But taking Jackson away from Durant or Yes and putting him next to Rondo is basically giving up the victory in this game.

When any Spurs player enters the team, they will be instilled with the concept that winning is more important than everything else.

But this game...

Although Bobo didn't say give up the game.

But he has basically told everyone with practical actions that he and the team gave up in this game in exchange for defending Rondo.

It's not like the Spurs have never given up on games. The Spurs gave up on games before. It was just for the final victory, for the championship. After taking a break, the victory they gave up is not important.

But this time, this is not an unimportant victory. The Spurs are still third from the bottom in the Western Conference.

If you lose, you will continue to sink. The west is not the east. This side of the west,

It's not uncommon for you to win ten games in a row and your ranking to remain unchanged.

The Rockets won 15 consecutive games last season and remained in ninth place in the Western Conference.

For the Spurs now, winning any game is important.

Yes, even if the Spurs don't give up victory, with the strength of the two teams, winning this game will not be easy.

But basketball is round after all, and there is still a chance if you try hard.

Although he was afraid of Yes, he had always had a dream. Maybe during the competition with Yes, Yes' legs suddenly slipped and twisted his leg?

Of course, everyone is willing to sacrifice a game for the sake of Bobo's reputation and for Bobo to regain his lost reputation.

At most, it's just a sacrifice of one season. There's nothing to say about Pop's contribution to the Spurs.

The key is, you damn gave up the victory of the game, but you still can't stop Rondo's offense.

You clearly know that this is a piece of shit, but this piece of shit keeps getting mushy in front of you. What does it feel like?

It’s so fucking uncomfortable, so damn disgusting, okay!

After Rondo hit the opening three-pointer, Rondo, who played the entire first quarter, scored 12 points intermittently in the first quarter.

This score is definitely worthy of his current status as the scoring leader.

If you haven't watched this game, you will definitely think, are you guys discriminating against the great NBA scoring champion? !

Everyone scored 12 points in a single quarter.

You guys still call him a weak scorer and trash?

Ginobili feels that it is really not him who is discriminating against Rondo, nor is it him and the Spurs who are discriminating against Rondo.

It is really……

The way Rondo scored 12 points in the first quarter was really hard not to complain about.

In the first quarter of the game, after Rondo hit a 3-pointer, Jackson immediately tightened his defense against Rondo.

But Jackson's tighter defense still couldn't stop Rondo from scoring.

Rondo just throws it when he should, without any hesitation, and he can still score after throwing it, and his hit rate is not bad.

This made Jackson quite uncomfortable. If he hadn't been sure that Rondo was like shit on the offensive end, he would have even wondered if Rondo was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger on purpose.

Not just Jackson, many people had this idea after seeing Rondo's strong performance.

But soon, these people were slapped in the face.

Jackson lost his focus on defense and failed to keep up with Rondo. Rondo's offense was very sudden, or he didn't take a shot for a whole quarter. When he wanted to take a shot, he couldn't do it suddenly. There was really no way to do it all the time. concentrate.

Because of his lack of concentration on defense, Jackson thought that based on Rondo's touch and Yes's assists, the ball would most likely be scored.

But that crisp clang!

That's a real slap in the face!

I tried my best to defend, but you could make the shot. I was distracted and didn't defend, but you couldn't make the shot?

After that, Jackson tried several more times with a very ugly face. Whether Rondo made a shot or not had nothing to do with his defensive intensity.

This makes defensive players uncomfortable.

If that's the case, there's no fucking point in guarding this guy on the court.

I'm fucking in front of Yes, in front of Durant, in front of Milicic, in front of Millsap, isn't my fucking good?

Wouldn't it be better to leave this poop to the air for defense?

What's the biggest thing that hits a defensive player?

It’s not that the offensive players are strong.

If the offensive players are strong, as long as my defense is effective, the defensive players will still work hard and actively defend. Maybe the stronger the offensive players are, the higher the fighting spirit of the defensive players will be.

In fact, the biggest blow to defensive players is not that the offensive players are too strong, but that their own defense is ineffective.

Just like the defense against Rondo.

Stephen Jackson looked very, very uncomfortable when he came off the field.

It was really uncomfortable for him to defend Rondo in the first quarter.

Is it possible to not feel uncomfortable when a whole section of poop is covered in poop?

Knowing that he is poop, we can win it far away, but we have to run over and step on it, which is sick!

Of course, you can't directly say that Popovich is sick, you can only complain in your heart.

And Popovich is indeed not sick. Isn't he just thinking about his reputation and the dream team?

Otherwise, it would be really pitiful if only the Spurs players are left to follow him to play in the Dream Team.

It's not that he disagrees with Popovich's rediscovery of reputation, he still respects Popovich.

But he doesn't want to be the person who helps Bobo regain his reputation and defend Rondo!

He really wants to go on strike now!

"Stephen, just look at it and get through this game."

Ginobili patted Jackson on the shoulder sympathetically and then led the Spurs' substitutes onto the court.

Although he was comforted by Ginobili, Jackson still became more and more angry as he thought about it.

Stephen Jackson is angry, and Popovich next to him is frowning.

Rondo's performance in the first quarter indeed once again proved that he is a poop, exactly like what he showed in his pre-game shooting training.

It's also the same as the game he saw between Rondo and the Sonics before.

The reason why Kobe was almost driven crazy by Rondo was not because Kobe tried hard to defend Rondo. He couldn't defend and stopped defending. Rondo couldn't score or stopped attacking.

Rondo and Kobe doubted their own lives.

I feel like I am simply doing something meaningless.

And this is why NBA coaches are so resistant to developing special defensive strategies for Rondo.

Judging from Rondo's game, it really doesn't make any sense.

It's good to leave Rondo to air defense.

After experiencing these things that he had seen on TV before, Popovich always felt that something was wrong.

Maybe he is a very suspicious person, maybe he is habitually thinking too much.

If Rondo is really that rubbish, can he really make those shots against Jackson?

If Rondo is really not that trash, why can't he make so many simple shots? There are not many fools in this world. If Rondo is acting, if two people can't tell it, how can the whole world not tell it? If Rondo is really acting, then it can only be said that Rondo's acting skills are too high.

So, is Rondo really good or not?

Popovich is frowning now.

The rest of the world chooses to believe that Rondo is not great.

It is impossible for a great person to achieve that kind of scoring and shooting percentage in his career.

The NBA is not football, so there is no such thing as hiding one's strength, and the SuperSonics are not the kind of team where the boss suppresses his teammates, but Fan Rondo has already been able to score.

With Durant's strength as a rookie, he could win the scoring title!

Therefore, everyone else in the world chose Rondo as the real deal, and attributed Rondo's magic to Yes's passing and organization, turning decay into magical organization and passing.

Before this game, he thought so too.

That's why they resisted preventing Rondo from scoring. Yes has the ability to support others even if he doesn't support Rondo.

It's just that all of this makes sense and is well-founded, but why does it always feel a little inconsistent?

I felt a violation, but Popovich couldn't find where the violation was?

feeling bad.

Although the game started in the second quarter, for Popovich, he was still thinking about Rondo's magical situation in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the Spurs were 18 points behind 28-46 on the road.

After Jackson went to Rondo's side, not only Rondo's 12 points, but other Sonics players also blossomed.

The Spurs' defense is basically broken.

Of course, the Spurs gave up this game in order to defend Rondo, so this point difference is understandable.

After the start of the second quarter, the point difference between the two sides continued to widen, and Ginobili met his old rival James Harden again.

The performance of the two people on the court can make the Key Arena burst into laughter every time.

James in front of the TV had a look of contempt on his face.

This is what happens when untalented players enter the NBA.

If you don’t have talent, you will want to do something like this.

He is very talented, and his talent brings him unparalleled aggression, so he never flops.

In the second quarter, the rotation lineups of both sides played for five minutes. The Spurs rotation lineup led by Ginobili was continued to be beaten by the rotation lineup led by James Harden and Gasol.

The Spurs, who had no intention of winning this game, were already trailing by more than 20 points after the rotation time.

For this game, the goal of Popovich and the Spurs is not to let Rondo get the highest score in the game. Everything else does not matter.

In the second quarter, Popovich, who was full of doubts about Rondo, continued to use Jackson to defend Rondo.

Then……

It's still the same result. Rondo can score with defense, but he can't score without defense.

It made Popovich doubt his life at the end of the first half.

So at the end of halftime, Popovich looked at the score on the sidelines and couldn't recover for a long time.

Do I still want to double-team Rondo?

Although the outcome of this game is not important, he doesn't want to be beaten fifty-eight.

It has been proven with Jackson that poop is poop.

He wants to prove it again with a double team?

Just when Popovich was doubting life and feeling a little confused...

"Bobo, your phone rang. It's Bruce."

Bruce's phone number?

Popovich and the surrounding Spurs players were a little surprised.

Popovich calmed down and walked into the player tunnel first with his cell phone in hand.

After the call was answered, Bowen's angry, unwilling and extremely determined voice came over.

"Bobo, the whole world has been fooled. Rondo's offense is not shit. I am 100% sure that Rondo's offense is very strong!"

Bowen's angry yelling made Popovich almost drop the phone in his hand because he couldn't hold it steady.
