Chapter 860: Popovich's Foul Mouth and the Shock of the World!

On April 29, 2009, at the post-match press conference between the Sonics and the Spurs.

After the magical sixth game between the Sonics and the Spurs, the game was over.

But the impact of this game has just begun!

Popovich looked at the excited reporters in the audience with an extremely ugly face.

Anyone who is repeatedly criticized like this will not look very good.

Now Popovich knows that the reason why he was able to beat these coconut powder reporters before was not because of his powerful mouth and eloquence, but because he was the winner.

When he fell from the position of the winner, no matter how good his mouth was and how good his eloquence was, it was useless in the end!

"Pop, four days ago you predicted that after the Sonics fell behind 3-0, Yes would make a comeback in four consecutive games. Now Yes has completed three games. As long as Yes makes another comeback against the Spurs, your prediction will be successful. Not the fifteenth but the second one said on Twitter that you are the greatest prophet in the world. Would you be happy with this title?"

Happy!

Isn't it the 15th but the second?

Wait for it!

"Wait until Yes completes four buzzer-beaters first."

"Next question."

These two sentences were almost squeezed out from Popovich's teeth.

"Pop, after the second game of this series, you said that you are looking forward to seeing Yes's miracle just like us. Now that Yes's miracle is about to appear, are you as happy as we are?"

Happy!

Miracle!

"Wait until the miracle really appears, then ask me."

"Next question"

Two more sentences squeezed out from Popovich's teeth.

Popovich had no intention of answering these reporters.

In fact, these reporters did not intend for Popovich to answer. They simply wanted to repeat what Popovich said when the situation was good before.

"This is a public execution!"

"If David Stern hadn't stipulated that a certain number of questions must be answered at the post-match press conference, otherwise the team would be severely punished, I'm afraid Popovich would have left long ago."

Many Coconut-black media or neutral media saw Popovich being publicly executed by these coconut-powder media to such an extent, and they really felt horrified.

Of course, the coconut-powder media's execution of Popovich is so horrible now.

It can also be seen how fierce Popovich's previous attacks on the coconut-powder media were.

Everything changes!

"Pop, at the end of the third game of this series, when the Spurs led 3-0, you said that you were already thinking about the next opponent. Excuse me, will you call David Stern and ask him who the Spurs' first regular season opponent will be next season? Do you expect the next opponent to be at home or away?"

Damn it!

Originally, many coconut-black and neutral reporters felt that the previous questions were cruel enough.

Now that this question came out, they really found that they really underestimated the resentment of these coconut-powder reporters against Popovich!

"Next question!"

And what about Popovich?

He completely lost his patience and didn't even have the slightest respect. He just asked "next question" directly.

"Do you think Popovich will be punished by David Stern tomorrow for the way he invented the answer to the "next question" this time?"

"Probably not.

David Stern is domineering, but to be honest, he will fix the loopholes in the rules. Popovich has answered the question this way. David Stern will not punish Popovich."

"I think so too."

After whispering for a while, the neutral reporters and the black coconut reporters continued to watch the excitement.

Popovich was so domineering before, and they fueled the flames.

Now Popovich has been publicly executed and liquidated, but they treat it as nothing happened, and even appreciate the liquidation of Popovich by the coconut powder reporter.

As if it has nothing to do with them.

As if there is no guilt in their hearts.

"Why should I feel guilty? It has nothing to do with us. It's all Popovich's own stinky mouth!"

These people really take it for granted and feel at ease.

As a former "teammate", Popovich is really upset now after being abandoned by his teammates.

"Pop, it's 3-3 now. When you keep mentioning the Mavericks and the Nuggets, and arguing about who is the most shameful team in the NBA, have you ever thought that the Spurs will be more shameful than the Mavericks and the Nuggets?"

Well, not only the coconut powder media, but also the media in Dallas and Denver have taken action!

They were not seen in the previous five games. This was when the Supersonics were 2-3 against the Spurs. They came here on purpose. If the Supersonics won, they would humiliate Popovich. If the Supersonics lost, they would treat it as a trip. Unexpectedly, they really gave them a chance to take revenge.

"Next question!"

Shame on you!

"Pop, when the Spurs lost again in the last game, did you think they would lose again today? Why didn't you change the lineup in this game?"

This is a reporter from San Antonio.

It's just...

At this time, Popovich had already been blood-curdling and didn't care which media it was.

"Next question!"

Even the reporters in San Antonio were irritated by Popovich's 'next question' method. When they saw the San Antonio media sitting down resentfully, the neutral reporters and black reporters beside them who were watching the excitement laughed loudly. Got it!

"Bobo, this is the last question. Have you felt the nightmare coming now?"

The neutral reporter and the black reporter who had just laughed loudly became attentive again.

It’s still a game of coconut flour reporters. This time Popovich can’t use the ‘next question method’ to escape, can he?

And this problem is really cruel.

The answer is yes, that is cowardice, completely denying his arrogance in front of him.

The answer is no, that means you are a tough talker. If you are really going to lose the next game, then just wait. Neither the black reporters nor the neutral reporters dare to imagine such a scene.

It can be said that this is a very skillful question of death, and it is quite suitable to be the last question of this execution.

These coconut reporters cooperated so well. If you really want to say that they didn’t rehearse, that’s really weird!

Just wait until Popovich is inevitably humiliated!

Just when these people thought this play was about to reach its final climax, everyone present was stunned after Popovich spoke.

"Next question!"

After gritting his teeth, Popovich turned around and left. When he left, he also took the microphone on the table. Of course, he was not preparing to eat.

Almost as soon as Popovich disappeared from the room, the stunned reporters were awakened by a huge 'pop'.

The microphone symbolizes the reporter.

Listening to this sound, this microphone that symbolizes a reporter may have been shattered into pieces...

"This man may have a bad mouth, but he is really a stubborn and ruthless person!"

Can you not be stubborn?

Can you not hate it?

Don’t leave or make trouble, the ‘next question method’ from beginning to end!

Popovich left the press conference and looked at the smashed microphone at his feet. His long-suffering mood finally eased slightly.

Three games!

All it took was one point lost!

He just wants a victory, why is it so difficult?

It was like a chasm between him and victory!

I thought that the final victory would come naturally.

He really just let nature take its course.

But victory did not come naturally!

"Do these guys think this is going to mess up me and my team?"

"I, Gregg Popovich, my Spurs, will never be flustered!"

Ordinary teams, such as the Nuggets, will definitely panic when faced with such a situation, and then they will definitely collapse after being messed with by these reporters. Even if they don't collapse, they will probably lose their souls with fear.

However, those who wanted to see the joke between him and the Spurs never imagined that he had a magical player named Bruce Bowen under him!

When he thought of Bowen, Popovich's dark complexion returned to normal.

Bruce was truly his lucky star.

If he had really opened his eyes, instead of being a mocking prophet like No. 15, he should trust Bruce's judgment.

When the team loses the first game, it should make a decisive change in formation.

However, how can there be anyone with open eyes in this world?

How could a head coach in this world change his basic tactics when leading 3-1?

However, it didn't matter even if he didn't open his eyes. He was not prepared for this situation, and he was not prepared to change the formation, but Bruce was already prepared!

So, he wasn't caught off guard.

With Bruce already prepared, the Spurs are still stronger than the SuperSonics. As long as he doesn't panic, even if the Spurs change their formation in the next game, the probability of victory will definitely be far higher than the SuperSonics!

Don't panic!

Don't panic!

Isn’t it 3 to 3?

Isn't it just Black Eight?

Isn't it just the black eight who led 3-0 and then was chased 3-3?

Isn't it just the Black Eight who has won three consecutive games, and probably four consecutive games?

Don't panic!

Absolutely don’t panic!

Am I panicking? !

"What a bad mouth!"

Popovich gave himself a hard slap on the mouth again!

"Klay, is that person Popovich?"

While others were still celebrating wildly, Klay Thompson, who came out with Harden to have fun and see if there were any little sisters or big sisters worth saving, looked over at Harden's finger. He was swaying like he was drunk. The same person seems to be Popovich.

Looking at this shaky posture, Klay Thompson was a little disdainful.

Isn't it the black eight who reversed 3-0 and lost four consecutive games?

"Panic hair"

Panic?

Clay, you are just pretending!

When encountering this kind of situation, everyone will panic. Someone may be so panicked that his legs will tremble. Do you think he is not a god or a Buddha?

Finally it is!

“Yes Niubi!”

After yelling loudly at the shaky back in front of him, Harden took Klay Thompson's hand and ran away.

Popovich, who was swaying in front, couldn't understand the Chinese word "Niu Pi" behind him.

But I understood the "Yes" in front of it.

Hearing this name, Popovich, who was already "calm" and "knowledgeable" and absolutely "not panic", staggered and almost stumbled to the ground.

Looking back, I saw that the lights were gone, and as far as I could see, the road ahead was dark and indescribably desolate...

The sixth game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs ended with another layup from Yes. In the end, after the SuperSonics made the score 3-3, the whole world was shocked.

"The series that was thought to be the fastest to produce a result has become the last to produce a result!"

"I thought it was the simplest sweep, but I didn't expect it to be a huge reversal of a 3-0 lead!"

After the sixth game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, when this series will enter a tiebreaker, and the NBA will usher in a black eight or a 3-0 reversal, who can be calm?

Tie-break!

Even if the Spurs are indeed the strongest, who can guarantee that they will not miss in the tiebreaker?

And it’s a tiebreaker that contains so many elements!

Looking at the pile of newspapers in his hand, Anthony really didn't expect that last season he thought he would be hung on the pillar of shame forever.

In just one year, the Spurs will use their strength to rescue him and his team!

How touching is this spirit of internationalism?

Saw this in the newspaper.

Anthony felt that this made them happier than when they eliminated the Timberwolves 4-2.

"If it's like what the newspaper said, the Spurs have one more black eight than us, one more player who has been defeated in four consecutive games, haha, the 'D degree' is at least 3, right?"

Hearing Anthony say this with a smile, Billups and Hamilton next to them were speechless.

It's better to be so happy than worse. That's why Cameron is so optimistic.

but……

Hearing the word "D degree" from Anthony's mouth, Billups and Hamilton thought of the worst reversal after 3-0 when they were tricked by young people like the Nuggets here last year. They were so desperate that they were tricked. ah!

That great reversal was evaluated as 1 by No. 15 or No. 2, which is a standard "D degree".

As for what a ‘D degree’ is, the D in D degree is the abbreviation of Dirk, and degree is the degree.

Isn't Fifteen the second player to be named after Nowitzki's initials?

The Nuggets were reversed 3-0 and were rated 1 standard D by No. 15 and No. 2.

Nowitzki's sweep of Black Eight was rated as 1.3 standard D degrees.

Is this the fifteenth or the second to resolve which of these two is the most shameful solution?

It has also been recognized by the mainstream around the world. Black eight is 0.9 D degrees and sweep is 0.4 D degrees.

If the Spurs accomplish this miracle this time.

A big reversal of 3 to 0, a D degree is confirmed.

Black eight, another 0.9 D degree.

Losing four games in a row, how bad will this be?

Being beaten four times in a row, how bad is it?

Assuming that the Sonics still only win by 1 point in the next game, and only win by 1 point in four consecutive games, what degree of D is that?

Billups and Hamilton know that many people in the world, like Anthony, are looking forward to how bad the Spurs will be after they lose to the SuperSonics.

Looking forward to the update of the D-degree rankings after the Spurs lose, not fifteen but second.

There are too few playoff series with a D degree of 1, let alone a 3!

If this is really the case, then there is no need to argue about who is more shameful, the Nuggets or the Mavericks.

Thinking of this, both Billups and Hamilton feel like they have changed a lot.

Unexpectedly, the old guy Popovich could actually swallow the bitter fruit he sown.

This time the karma came too fast, and the speed of God's work made ordinary people like them feel like their waists were bumped.

Many people are now looking forward to the "D degree" update that is either fifteen or second, including Nowitzki of the Mavericks.

"Dirk, are you stupid? The 'D Degree' created by the second guy is obviously to humiliate you, but you insist on saying that it is a spur to you, and you are still stupid. It’s attention. Cuban said that he would spend 10 million US dollars to offer a reward for the second ‘information’, but you stopped him. Are you stupid or just too broad-minded?”

In the entire Dallas Mavericks, Afflalo is the only one who can talk to Nowitzki like this.

Because everyone knows that Afflalo is not malicious, no matter how poisonous his mouth is. He is a simple stubborn man, completely different from Popovich's bad mouth.

So when Afflalo said this, Nowitzki, who was holding his phone in his hand and scrolling through Twitter, just giggled twice.

Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle also found it quite interesting to see Afflalo being subdued by Nowitzki's character.

When he first came to the Mavericks, he, like many others, was prejudiced against Nowitzki, thinking that he was a super epic softie with no sense of shame.

But later, he learned that it was not that Nowitzki had no sense of shame, but that he really had a broad mind.

After being hacked, Nowitzki paraded around with his MVP trophy with a smile, instead of beating his chest in bitterness and sitting on the ground for a few push-ups before shouting, "I'll be back!" This is One of Nowitzki's biggest black spots.

This is a real black mark for those who already have colored glasses on Dirk.

But if you put aside your prejudice against Dirk and get along with him and understand his character, you will come to two completely opposite conclusions.

Dirk just said that he used the malice of the world and the malice of not fifteenth but second to spur himself on. This is really not a joke.

He has been in the Mavericks for two years and witnessed Nowitzki's progress with his naked eyes.

When he first came to the Mavericks, Carlisle was able to evaluate Nowitzki's strength.

And with Nowitzki's growth and progress, now he can't even feel what Nowitzki's strength is.

Nowitzki now seems like a bottomless abyss.

Even he, the head coach, can't see the depth. I have to say, this is really amazing.

In the NBA, many head coaches say that they can't see the depth of their players.

The most famous one is old Nelson. He has said more than once that he can't see where Yes's strength is.

In addition to Yes, Popovich also said that he didn't know where Duncan's real strength was. He took out whatever the team needed, which was the same as Yes's evaluation.

In addition to these two people, no coach in the NBA has said anything similar.

In other words, Dirk's current state and true strength may have begun to be on par with Yes and Duncan...

Afflalo, Nowitzki and other Mavericks players are very concerned about the outcome of the Spurs and Supersonics series.

He is also very concerned.

After eliminating the Grizzlies 4-2, the Mavericks' next opponent is the winner of the Supersonics and Spurs.

As for the question of which of these two teams to play.

From a rational point of view, of course he hopes to play against the Supersonics. This season, the Mavericks beat the Supersonics in the regular season.

The Mavericks are one of the three teams that swept the Supersonics in the regular season this season.

But this is rational.

From an emotional point of view, of course he hopes that the Spurs will be reversed 3-0 and the four consecutive buzzer-beaters will be defeated!

It's really cool to see the Spurs and Popovich like this!

That is, he was not in the KeyArena for yesterday's game, otherwise he would have shouted "King!" with the Supersonics fans at the scene.

And this victory led by Yes is also worthy of the attention of Dirk, Afflalo and the whole world!

The shock caused by the sixth game between the Supersonics and the Spurs continues.

Especially after the results of other NBA duels came out one by one, and only the seventh game between the Spurs and the Supersonics became the last game of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the hurricane was formed!

This year's first round of the NBA playoffs is considered by many to be a fierce game like a golden age.

Among the eight duels, the Cavaliers defeated the 76ers 4 to 1, and the other games were very fierce.

Among them, the Mavericks eliminated the Grizzlies 4 to 2, the Nuggets eliminated the Timberwolves 4 to 2, and the Celtics eliminated the Bulls 4 to 2, and the Wizards eliminated the Magic 4 to 2.

Although these four duels were all 4 to 2, it seems that it is not a seventh game and not so fierce.

But people who have watched all the games of these four duels will not have such an opinion.

Let's not talk about the Celtics and the Bulls. The Celtics won two consecutive games later, both of which were narrow wins, and they won a total of five points in the two games. If it weren't for Rose's failure in the last two buzzer-beaters, the Celtics would really be uncomfortable, and they would definitely pay the price for their unpreparedness and underestimation of the Bulls.

Like the Celtics and the Bulls, the Nuggets and the Timberwolves are also the same. The two consecutive wins of the Nuggets over the Timberwolves were small wins with more experience and better details.

Although the scores of the Mavericks and the Grizzlies, and the Magic and the Wizards were not so dangerous, the two duels were all about rhythm. Once the rhythm was messed up, they would collapse directly. The two teams and two players fought hard to grab the rhythm.

On May 1, 2009, the NBA will take the lead in two game sevens, the Heat and the Pistons, and the Lakers and the Suns.

After a round of extremely entangled fighting between the Heat and the Pistons, the Heat finally eliminated the Pistons with a big score of 4 to 3 at home with stronger strength.

On the other side, the Lakers and the Suns, the Lakers defeated the Suns by a large score with younger and stronger tenacity and physical strength, and completed the promotion.

After the two first game sevens between the Pistons and the Heat, and the Lakers and the Suns ended, the eyes of the world were on the final game seven between the Supersonics and the Spurs!

"I didn't expect that he could get to this point."

Watching the trailer on TV.

The whole world is crazy and shocked!

Jordan feels that his face has been swollen these days!

The face is just symbolically swollen.

The mouth and feet are really swollen!

The lungs may also be a little swollen!
