Chapter 854 0ChangeYes and I Have an Interesting Idea!

In the first game, after defeating the Seattle SuperSonics at home, Popovich really felt that he could be proud of himself.

Before the game started, he was actually a little worried. He had lost to Yes so many times over the years. If Yes played very badly in this game, he might even doubt whether Yes was pretending.

If the Spurs defeated the SuperSonics by a large margin in this game, and Yes performed very badly, he would definitely not feel proud of himself. On the contrary, he would have a sense of urgency and worry as if a dark cloud was pressing down on the city and was about to destroy it.

But in the first game against the SuperSonics, the Spurs won, 111 to 106, and the Spurs only lost by 5 points in this game.

The SuperSonics performed very well in this game.

These young players of the SuperSonics already felt at ease when dealing with such a big game.

This really made Popovich quite impressed. These young players of the SuperSonics are really different from the young people of other teams.

Compared with the young people of the Supersonics, he had some "disdain" for Parker and Ginobili, two young people from his Spurs. Milicic was also taught a lot by Duncan, so why didn't he see Milicic fearing Duncan like a tiger?

Parker and Ginobili were so afraid of Yes that if Bowen wasn't around, they would probably avoid seeing Yes.

Of course, these young people of the Supersonics left a very deep impression on him.

The most impressive one was of course Yes.

In the first game against the Supersonics, Yes really exerted his strength!

In the recent matches with Bruce, how many times did Yes's offensive efficiency not reach 50% or close to 50%?

In this game, Yes faced Bruce's single defense, and he made 13 of 28 shots and finally scored 42 points!

If we look at the two-person duel between Yes and Bruce in this game, who will win and who will lose?

There is no doubt that Yes defeated Bruce.

In this game, Bruce lost in the single duel with Yes.

However, Yes's small victory over Bruce is not enough to offset the disadvantages of other Supersonics players when facing the Spurs!

Bruce's greatest significance to the Spurs is not that he must beat Yes in every game. He calculates whether he can beat Yes or not. As long as he can defend Yes alone, he will always be the team's biggest contributor!

In this game, Yes played with all his strength, and Yes also wanted to create a miracle, but in the end, the miracle was blocked by Bruce!

Therefore, this fierce game between the Supersonics and the Spurs not only gave him great confidence, but also gave other Spurs players great confidence.

The Supersonics struggled, and Yes also struggled, but the final result was still death.

Isn't this a beautiful scene?

Of course it is very, very beautiful!

At least for all Spurs players except Bowen, this picture is very beautiful.

As for after the game, Bowen was in a very bad mood, and his face was visibly ugly.

Popovich can also understand.

After all, the individual duel of this game was lost.

So, immediately after the game, Popovich comforted his favorite player, the biggest contributor of this game.

"It was a very good game, Bruce, we won. When we finally beat Yes and eliminated the Supersonics, no one will care about other things in this game. Don't think too much, Bruce, congratulations, you once again led the team to win in the playoffs, my leader!"

Popovich looked at this old face that was as proud as him,

and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although they are not young anymore, their desire for victory is still young.

As an NBA head coach, and an extremely successful head coach, Popovich has always said that the luckiest thing for him is to coach Duncan.

And the luckier thing is that after Duncan, he has Bowen!

And when these two people reached their peak, he was also at his peak, and the last peak of the three of them overlapped.

"Bruce, this season will definitely belong to us. I, Tim, we will succeed, and you will become a god!"

Facing Popovich's trust and comfort.

The more trust Popovich showed on his face, the deeper his teammates' respect, the more painful his heart was, and the more his body sank.

For this series, his prediction was not like this, it was really not like this...

That stingy guy would never easily give up the victory, unless he was doing something more important than winning!

What exactly does Yes want to do?

Although Bowen, who sat next to Popovich to attend the post-match press conference, still had a proud and firm self-confidence on his face, he was very anxious inside.

"This was a very tense game. Both teams played at the highest level. Yes is worthy of being the strongest offensive player in the NBA. Our defense played at the highest level, but we still had no way to deal with him. Fortunately, our offensive state in this game was very good. This was a wonderful victory. Of course, this was just a wonderful victory. We need four such victories to advance, so the victory in this game does not mean anything, no, it does not mean nothing."

"At least, after we win this game, we don't have to worry about being swept by Yes."

When he said the last word, Popovich showed his signature smile.

It is said that Yes is very willful when he is interviewed, and Popovich is also quite willful when he is interviewed.

So, this time after Popovich finished speaking with a smile, the whole audience laughed.

This sudden cold humor is quite effective.

Popovich has mentioned the Mavericks and Nuggets a lot recently. The Mavericks and Nuggets are so popular recently, and Popovich has contributed a lot.

Just in this happy atmosphere of laughter.

Thinking of something, Bowen opened his eyes wide and looked at Popovich who was smiling beside him, with a look of horror on his face.

Yes is not? !

No, no?

How could he do such a thing to the Spurs? !

How dare he do such a thing to the Spurs? !

On April 21, 2009, the second round of the Seattle SuperSonics and Spurs continued at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

Before the first game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs, the fans and coconut powder of the SuperSonics had a lot of expectations.

The first round of this year's playoffs was a round of upsets, and they also expected that there would be such upsets in this series between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, but they were disappointed.

Although the SuperSonics performed very well, and although Yes defeated Bowen, proving that offense once again defeated defense, the SuperSonics lost.

The defeat of the SuperSonics was written about by many experts and media after the game.

"This game tells us that Yes is perhaps the only player in NBA history who can break Bowen's defense!"

"But the overall strength of the Supersonics limits the strength of Yes's personal strength!"

"When the Spurs have Bowen, the Spurs will be the only NBA team that can say to Yes that basketball is a sport for five people!"

When the Spurs have Bowen, the Spurs are the only team that can say to Yes that basketball is a sport for five people...

This sentence has been very popular in the playoffs these two days.

,

This is what the famous coconut powder Pippen said.

This sentence highly summarizes the strength and incredibleness of Yes's personal ability. Pippen said that even Jordan couldn't break Bowen's defense, and Jordan couldn't beat Bowen in the triangle offense system!

As Jordan's closest comrade-in-arms, Pippen's words are more convincing than most other people.

So his famous saying is both an admiration for Yes's personal strength and a compliment to Bowen's defensive ability.

Other teams dare to say that basketball is a sport for five people when facing Yes, and Yes easily slaps them in the face with his own miracle.

And Bowen can make the Spurs say such words.

The last game also reflected the content summarized by this sentence.

The most desperate content for coconut powder.

Even Pippen, the most die-hard coconut powder of NBA, now said in despair that it is almost equivalent to "Don't expect miracles from Yes. It is very, very powerful for Yes to break Bowen's defense. If he is more powerful, he will really become a god."

It is precisely because of such public opinion.

Before the second game between the Supersonics and Spurs, many Supersonics fans who came to the scene held up signs saying "Enjoy the game!"

"Enjoy the game, not enjoy the victory. Tonight's coconut powder and Supersonics fans are very rational."

Kenny Smith's words embarrassed Barkley, who was a coconut powder next to him.

The last time the Supersonics and Spurs played against each other, the slogans held by the Supersonics fans and coconut powder were not so "cowardly".

"For many Coconut powder and Sonics fans, this year's playoffs are the strawberry on the cake. Yes's performance in the regular season this season is already wonderful and sweet enough. On the contrary, some people and some teams need the playoffs to prove themselves."

"Huh!"

Kenny Smith was mocking Coconut powder and Sonics fans, and Barkley started to mock James directly.

Recently, Barkley and Kenny Smith's commentary was quite tense.

There is no way, James and Yes are in a very bad situation.

Usually, the style of the two is the kind of gag style, and now it has become this kind of satirical style, which makes many fans in front of the TV even find it more interesting.

Although Barkley and Kenny Smith's commentary is very interesting, the focus of this game is naturally Yes and Bowen.

When the two teams went on the court to warm up, almost all the cameras on the scene were on these two people.

Every time Yes and Bowen played against each other, the imposing confrontation between the two before the game made the audience on the scene, the audience in front of the TV and the media experts talk about it with relish.

"The classic duel between Yes and Bowen has a lot to do with their pre-match momentum that was like a fight between gods."

"That's right, compared to these two, both of them are historical players, Duncan seems a bit mediocre."

The reporter in the stands looked at Duncan standing between Yes and Bowen on the court, looking left and right. Compared with Yes and Bowen, this mediocre No. 21 was like a supporting role.

"Tim, did you see the meaning of the fierce confrontation between Master and Yes?"

In fact, it was not only the audience on the sidelines who thought that the eye contact between Yes and Bowen was very magical, even Ginobili and Duncan, the Spurs players, also thought that such a momentum confrontation was very magical.

"I don't understand, I don't understand."

Facing the curiosity of Ginobili and his teammates, Duncan, who had just observed for a long time, shook his head with a dull look while holding the basketball.

On the other side, Yes and Bowen were still standing in the middle circle and looking at each other.

The momentum of the two became more and more fierce, and the audience on the side was more and more surprised.

Bowen: Give me a chance.

Yes: How can I give you a chance.

Bowen: Considering that I am still useful and have cooperated in the past, I beg you to give me a chance to choose my own way of death this time.

Yes: Oh, choose your own way of death? You were not so honest and humble before.

Bowen: I was too greedy before, now, I just want to die quickly, give me a chance.

Yes: Okay, do you see that basketball stand? If you hit your head directly on it, you should die.

Bowen: Do you really want me to die?

Yes: I'm sorry, I'm not God.

Bowen: Don't force me, I really...

Yes: You're not that important.

Yes turned and left without waiting for Bowen to finish expressing the message he wanted to express.

Bowen behind him, although his face was still proud and confident, his tightly clenched hands were shaking.

"Master, who won the momentum duel between you and Yes this time?"

"I don't know."

Facing the impatient Ginobili, Bowen gritted his teeth and continued: "The Spurs will win!"

Ginobili, who was a little disappointed, heard Bowen's addition to this sentence, and sweat broke out on the back of his head, making Duncan's hands sweat.

"Master, it's too strong!"

"Dare to declare victory in front of Yes!"

Not only Ginobili, but also the other Spurs players next to him had expressions of respect and admiration on their faces after Bowen said this.

Popovich on the sidelines nodded with a smile on his face. This is why the Spurs have felt more and more like Bruce's team in the past two years.

He can't help but cheer for Bruce now!

Too domineering!

Too strong!

Now as long as the Spurs have Bowen, they seem to have a stabilizing force when facing any team.

This role used to belong to Duncan.

The previous league was a league where the inside line was king.

The current league is the rise of the outside line. Under this general trend, although Duncan is still the pillar of the Spurs, the Spurs have indeed changed from a single pillar to a double pillar.

Because yesterday's game was won, the lineup he arranged tonight was the same as the previous game, with Duncan as the center, Matt Bonner as the power forward, Stephen Jackson as the small forward, Bowen as the shooting guard, and Parker as the point guard.

When the starting lineups of the two teams stood on the court, Popovich was a little surprised that the Sonics, as the losing side, did not make any changes in the lineup.

It is still the lineup of Milicic, Millsap, Ibaka, Yes, and Rondo.

Popovich was only briefly surprised and amazed by Nelson and the Sonics' lack of lineup changes, and he soon understood it.

The Sonics do not have a second strong main attack point. It is not that the Sonics have not changed their lineup. The changes of the Sonics are not lineup changes, not tactical changes. The changes of the Sonics are completely dependent on the changes of Yes!

Yes is a player who can do everything. Many experts believe that Yes's super leadership ability is that Yes can change his playing style according to different opponents.

Because he can do everything, Yes naturally restrains almost all different opponents, and naturally leads the team with a high winning rate.

Therefore, the strength of the Sonics depends entirely on the strength of Yes, and the changes of the Sonics also depend entirely on the changes of Yes!

In the last game, Yes's playing style is actually very different from the regular season.

In the last game, Yes became very cautious on the offensive end. After the game, many experts believed that Yes reduced his shooting speed in order to break Bowen's defense. In the last game, Yes's three-point shooting speed was not even like Yes!

In terms of actual effect, Yes's changes in the last game were indeed effective, and Bruce was defeated by him.

But on the other hand, Yes's changes were ineffective, because the Supersonics lost!

However, as a bystander, Popovich admired Yes's versatile strength. This person is really an omnipotent player that the NBA has never had.

But on the other hand, he also wanted to see Yes struggling in the cage woven by him and Bruce.

Yes has now been locked in a cage by him and Bruce.

He wants to break this cage through his strength and difference.

But no matter how he changes, he can't break the cage woven by Bruce and him.

What a wonderful scene that would be?

When the doomsday finally comes to Yes and the Supersonics, will he despair?

Isn't it a very interesting thing to appreciate Yes's despair?

"In this game, Yes will definitely change his form again!"

"What form will Yes use to struggle in this game?"

Popovich was very curious.

He even wanted to move a small stool to sit next to him.

The bench was still too far back...

"The game has begun!"

Amid the cheers of the Spurs fans, Duncan easily lost to Milicic in the jump ball.

When he was young, Duncan was also quite good at jumping.

But now...

In the jump ball, he does have a bit of a bully mentality.

And Milicic can only be arrogant during the jump ball every time he faces Duncan, and it is difficult to be arrogant at other times, so he works extra hard every time during the jump ball.

If he can kill Duncan, he will never give Duncan face.

Of course, Duncan is not a person who wants to save face.

This old man is very thick-skinned.

He will never let a bad loss in the jump ball affect his usual game state.

And in the playoffs, his strength is definitely not comparable to that of the regular season.

For example, in this year's regular season, when the Spurs and the Heat played, Duncan was defeated by Bosh twice, but if it really came to the playoffs, Bosh would not be able to defeat Duncan.

Even Yes would be very cautious when facing the basket guarded by Duncan.

When the two teams met for the first time in the playoffs two years ago, Yes was most afraid of Duncan in the interior.

Although he is not afraid of him now, he is also very careful.

Fortunately, because of Bowen, Duncan no longer assists him and leaves him completely to Bowen. In this way, he is fine, but his teammates are miserable.

The Spurs used Bonner, a high shooter, as a starter in the playoffs to pull Millsap out on the defensive end, so that Duncan can have more opportunities to play Millsap one-on-one. At the same time, because of Duncan's help defense in the interior, even if Bonner's defense is not strong, Duncan can help him.

In the last game, the duel between him and Bowen was the focus of the court, but Duncan was definitely the winner of the game.

In the last game, although Yes was adapting to the new style of play, he didn't mind winning a victory if the Spurs were really not strong enough.

Of course, in the end, the Spurs won the final victory because of Duncan's strength.

In fact, not only Yes's attention was on Duncan, but also old Nelson's attention was on Duncan.

He was very familiar with the Spurs' new tactical system, and Popovich knew this, so in this year's playoffs, his clever disciple made some changes, such as no longer mechanically passing the ball, but allowing Duncan to increase his singles and inside breakthroughs.

The effect was very outstanding, and the long-armed and long-legged monster of the Supersonics had a significantly reduced impact on the Spurs' offensive end.

Duncan, this player, is really a headache for the team!

Duncan is a headache for his team, and Bowen is a headache for his Yes...

A few minutes after the game started, old Nelson was helpless.

The Spurs really restrained his Supersonics!

"Kenny, has Yes's style of play changed again in this game?"

"Yes, Yes didn't have so many low-post singles before!"

Kenny Smith was a little surprised when he saw Yes sitting in the low post on the court to play Bowen statically.

Who is Bowen?

Bowen's current nickname is 'Unmovable Pluto' or 'Unmovable Death'!

Because of his age, although Bowen's defensive ability is also very strong with the assistance of Duncan, his strongest defensive ability is still his static defense.

Bowen is the nemesis of the triangle offense certified by Lakers head coach Phil Jackson himself!

Or the nemesis of one-on-one post-up singles by outside players!

"We all know that Yes is looking for a better way to beat Bowen, but this method has been proven to be ineffective against Bowen by Kobe!"

"According to statistics, Kobe's efficiency in a one-on-one back-to-back single against other defensive players can be more than 50%, but when facing Bowen, his efficiency is less than 40%, or even only about 35%!"

"Pippen even said that even if Jordan were resurrected, it would be difficult for him to have a hit rate of more than 40% against Bowen's defense!"

Damn Jordan is resurrected!

Damn Pippen!

Jordan, who was slowly savoring red wine and cigars, almost wanted to throw away the cigar and red wine and get into the TV to hit someone.

Although Jordan was very, very unhappy with Pippen's statement, he still agreed with one point.

In the tactical system of the triangle offense, in a pure one-on-one single, his efficiency against Bowen would not be too high.

Bowen's defensive skills have reached perfection, coupled with his height, weight and confrontation ability.

It is really no problem to say that he is the NBA's 'immovable Pluto' or 'immovable Death'.

The series between the Sonics and the Spurs was a series in which he appreciated how Yes struggled.

Now it seems that Yes has lost his mind.

Facing Bowen, he didn't move to hit Bowen, instead of using his explosive power to pull Bowen.

This is courting death!

"Phil, didn't you say that if you give you a Yes, your triangle offense will be invincible?"

"Now I want to see if your triangle offense is invincible if you give you a Yes like this."

Jordan took a big sip of the cigar and a big gulp of red wine. The cigar and the wine made him infinitely powerful!

At the moment when Jordan felt that his power was infinite, he puffed!

All the cigar and smoke came out!

Take a seat!

Two seats!

Three seats!

Turn over and hit a fadeaway jumper!

This action...

Seeing this extremely familiar and standard action, Jordan was really shocked!

Because of him, this set of actions is very popular.

If the defensive player is air.

There are at least thousands of people around the world who can perform this set of movements perfectly.

But the person behind Yes is Bowen!

Even Kobe, the person who imitated him the most, couldn't make this set of moves standard!

He has watched a lot of game videos between Kobe and Bowen. Every time Kobe beats Bowen in isolation, the picturesqueness is true, but the movements have nothing to do with the standard.

But Yes this time, it's not standard, it's perfection!

It's as if Bowen's defense didn't have the slightest impact on him!

At the very least, he used the same action to face Bowen. He might have done better than Kobe, but it was absolutely impossible to achieve such perfection!

Not to mention Bowen, when he faced Payton, he was no longer so perfect and standard.

"sharp……"

In the Lakers locker room, Kobe stared at the TV blankly.

He knows best how powerful Bowen is when he stands on defense.

Phil Jackson on Kobe's side even stood up excitedly at this time!

Now he is 100% sure that Kobe's love for Romar is definitely not as good as his love for Yes!

Perfect!

Yes not only has the perfect passing ability and the ability to connect teammates in the triangle offensive system, but also has the perfect one-on-one singles ability!

"Yes is a player born for the triangle offense!"

Now Phil Jackson is excited.

It's also a pity.

As a head coach of this caliber, he could certainly see that although Yes defeated Bowen one-on-one, other Sonics players were greatly affected by Duncan!

"Yes won this game again, but the Sonics are going to lose!"

Phil Jackson looked at the Sonics Nine who was working hard on the TV with a very distressed look on his face.

When Kobe was bullied by Bowen and Duncan, he would never have such a distressed look on his face.

The regret on Phil Jackson's face is now visible to the naked eye.

At the ATandT scene, when the game ended with 101 to 108, both the Spurs fans, the reporters on the scene, and even the players on the court had dull looks on their faces.

"Yes defeated Bowen again!"

"Yes used two completely different methods to defeat Bowen!"

"Such a powerful Bowen..."

"Is this the true strength of Yes? When desperate times came, Yes finally told the world, what is the gap between the strongest offensive player in history and the strongest defensive player in history?"

The moment the game ended, the whole place was silent.

Popovich was also shocked. After recovering from the shock, Popovich didn't like the silence very much.

"While it's fun to watch Yes' struggles..."

"But the struggling Yes is really scary..."

Bruce lost again...

But the Spurs are the winners!

We're 2-0!

2 to 0!

,

This score made Popovich think of a very interesting idea and possibility with his eyes twinkling!
