Chapter 855: It’s Time to Consider Your Next Opponent in the Finals!
"It was another very, very anxious game. In the end, we won. We didn't let you see the Garfield Hurricane and the Seattle Miracle that you were expecting. I'm really sorry. To be honest, I wanted it just like you. I saw those earth-shattering miracles performed by Yes, but... Bruce is really damned, I think there must be many people in the world now who will say the same thing as me."
On April 21, 2009, after the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Seattle SuperSonics 108-101 at home, Popovich still had a mischievous smile on his face and told the reporters at the post-game press conference. A unique joke.
Although Popovich looks the same as before, Wang Han and other Chinese reporters present can clearly feel that the smile on Popovich's face has become obviously more confident.
Even the words he said and the jokes he made became bigger.
What is meant by "Bruce is damned" is obviously a different way of saying, "You really want to see Yes perform a miracle in front of the Spurs, but unfortunately, the strength does not allow it. Yes may be strong, but the Spurs are stronger!"
After this game, the Spurs already lead the Seattle SuperSonics 2-0.
Although it is a two-game winning streak at home, as the No. 1 team in the Western Conference and currently the team with the No. 1 championship odds in the league, leading the opponent 2-0 basically declares that this series is almost over.
That's why Popovich made such a big joke.
As far as reality is concerned, there is indeed no problem.
Now Popovich didn't joke and said: "I'm already thinking about the next opponent", he is already very tolerant.
However, it is obvious that Popovich's jokes are not a problem to reporters from other countries around the world. The Spurs are 2-0, but to the ears of Chinese reporters, this joke is jarring.
"In order to relieve the pressure of Bowen being defeated by Ye Si in this game, this old man deliberately diverted everyone's attention from the fact that Ye Si also defeated Bowen in this game. This old man is so bad! "
"You want to change the subject, but I won't let you change the subject!"
Before Wang Han could stop her, Lin Rui stood up directly next to her.
This was not a regular speaking procedure, and the press officer at the scene was supposed to stop it.
But when I saw that the female reporter who stood up was of Chinese descent,
Popovich stopped the press officer.
"Yes played 41 minutes tonight, and scored 43 points in 41 minutes, which was higher than the previous game. This is the second consecutive game of Yes with 40+ points in this series. What do you think of this series? A showdown with Bruce.”
This question is not very short, and the voice asking the question is quite aggressive.
In fact, there was no need to finish speaking. When the female reporter was halfway through speaking, Popovich basically understood what she meant.
"Yes and Bruce are doing great."
"all good?"
"Yes, it's all good, Yes won the numbers, Bruce won the win."
"What if there has to be a ranking?"
"They are both great players. I can't tell the difference, but others can get the answers they want from the emotions of you and me."
"..."
Seeing that the little sister next to him was unable to say a word at the hands of the scheming Popovich, Wang Han sighed in his heart.
This naughty old man always wanted to find an opportunity to vent his feelings because he lost a lot to Ye Si before, but now he didn't dare to vent openly, so he just waited for the opportunity to vent his emotions in a roundabout way.
Xiaorui hit the muzzle of the gun directly.
"Pop, Tony and Manu have many, many fans in China. In these two games, the performance of Tony and Manu has worried many of their Chinese fans. Can Bobo tell you what is happening to them now? ?"
Lin Rui was surprised to see Wang Han standing up next to her.
When Popovich heard this question, the smile on his face faded and his eyes narrowed.
"They did have some problems in this series. They had some troubles on the offensive end. They haven't found their offensive state yet."
While Popovich was still enjoying the fun of quarreling with female reporters, he became extremely angry when he thought about the performance of Parker and Ginobili in the past two games.
3 points, 8 points, 9 points, 5 points.
This is the score of the two people in the previous two games, it is simply terrible!
When he thought of these two people, Popovich instantly felt that his favorite quarrel with the female reporter was no longer so good.
After the second game between the Spurs and SuperSonics, the news that Popovich was chatting and laughing was a big deal.
Popovich was quite restrained out of caution.
But how could the mental state of victory be concealed from reporters from all over the world who are like human beings?
For a time, after the Sonics lost two consecutive away games, everyone's eyes were focused on whether the Sonics were going to be swept by the Spurs!
"Are the SuperSonics going to be swept by the Spurs?"
James, who also played his second game against the Pistons today, finished his day's training and looked at the news pushed by his assistant with quite a surprise on his face.
Ever since they lost to the Sonics in the last game of the regular season and were given a five-double by Yes in front of Yes, he has never paid attention to the games of Yes or other players.
Now he is devoted wholeheartedly to the great cause of changing his basketball habits and basketball rhythm. It is really not easy to change the basketball habits of more than ten years, the basketball rhythm of more than ten years, and the basketball path of more than ten years. .
However, even if it is difficult, he still needs to change!
He already knew that Yes, for some reason, was very, very familiar with his golf course.
If you don't change your golf course, you won't have any chance.
Of course he is paying attention to this series between the SuperSonics and the Spurs.
The Spurs and SuperSonics are both his biggest opponents.
If the Heat enter the finals this year, they are likely to encounter one of these two teams.
These two teams are dog-eat-dog, and he is willing to see it.
But he really didn't expect the Spurs to be so fierce!
When he was training hard, he told his assistant not to tell him ordinary things, because he was in retreat.
Obviously, Yes and the Sonics were swept 2-0 by the Spurs as soon as they came on, and were on the verge of being swept. This was obviously the big thing he said.
"Swept?"
Looking at the news pushed by the assistant and the comments on these news, it seems that the whole world feels that Yes and his Sonics have definitely been swept away.
but……
James put down his phone and looked at the ceiling above his head.
That person is definitely not that simple!
2-0, this is really nothing.
Especially since the Sonics haven't lost their home court yet.
Moreover, aren't his Heat and Iverson's Pistons also 2-0?
The Pistons led his Heat 2-0.
He needs enough time to change his basketball habits.
The Pistons are a good opponent.
He can play more games in this series without worrying about being eliminated.
Even if they are behind 0-2, he believes that he and his Heat can come back.
This is an absolute advantage in strength!
Even if his 0-2 was more dangerous than Yes's 0-2, after all, Yes was only 0-2 away, while he was 0-2 at home.
Of course, the two series between the Heat and Pistons, and the SuperSonics and Spurs are completely different.
He and the Heat have an absolute advantage.
But the Spurs and SuperSonics are the absolute disadvantages.
He has reasons and motivations to manipulate big scores.
And Yes has no reason or motive, let alone the ability to control the big score.
Therefore, the 0-2 matchup between the SuperSonics and the Spurs should be real and not controlled by Yes.
He didn't watch the game, but judging from the comments, Yes should have gone all out. A defensive player as strong as Bowen was beaten by Yes twice in a row.
If Yes doesn't go all out, it's impossible to beat Bowen twice in a row.
In the previous few battles, Yes suffered quite a lot.
"Is Yes really going to be swept in the first round?"
Thinking of this result that he couldn't imagine before, James still couldn't believe it.
"Maybe we can see the outcome in the next game!"
Even if it's him, his Heat can beat the Pistons, but he doesn't dare to fall behind 0-3. If the Sonics still lose to the Spurs in the next game, then...
Yes, I am afraid that Joan of Arc is unable to save her life and is forced into a desperate situation!
Can’t see [81 Chinese website fo]Yes in the finals?
Thinking of this, James suddenly felt a little empty...
However, whether I get Yes or not, I will change!
You need to change to become stronger, and he needs to become stronger!
If it were him before, he would definitely become mentally slack after there was no crisis.
But as long as he closes his eyes and thinks of that hundred points, those five pairs, and the suspicion and malice from all over the world, James will be full of endless motivation.
On April 23, 2009, the Heat visited the Detroit Pistons away from home.
The Pistons, already leading 2-0 on the road, want to win another game at their home court.
The Pistons' morale was very, very high in this game.
Whether it is Iverson or others on the Pistons, they are very, very interested in leading the Space Battleship Heat 3-0 and knocking the Heat out of the game.
The Pistons not only had high morale in this game, but the players were also in very, very good condition.
but……
"LeBron James actually played without the ball in this game!"
"In the previous two games, James held the ball in a different style than before. In this game, James actually played without the ball?!"
The Heat were forced into a desperate situation by the Pistons, which was even more dangerous than the SuperSonics' situation. This made the game between the Heat and the Pistons one of the most watched of today's three games.
If fans pay most attention to the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, then what NBA teams and professionals care about most is definitely the game between the Pistons and the Heat.
The Heat were eliminated in the first round, so everyone was really celebrating!
The Heat's hard power is so strong that even if they are in internal strife now, they are putting a lot of pressure on people.
Watching James on TV trying to practice how to cooperate with Wade in playing off the ball, Yeos was still very surprised.
Even in the more than 2,000 finals games, the total time James played without the ball was quite small.
But in the extremely rare time without the ball, Ye Si knew that James had this ability.
Although it is not that strong, it is definitely not that weak or incompetent.
But in James' mind, the emperor would not serve as a wedding dress for anyone else.
When James is willing to make wedding dresses for others, it means that James is really going to completely change himself.
but……
121 to 110.
Watching the big score on TV, Ye Si felt that James had not become complete yet, nor was he that thorough.
His subconscious did not dare to push himself the hardest.
However, this is also human nature.
This can only be said...
The stimulation he received was not yet complete.
1 to 2!
The 3-0 that the entire NBA playoff teams were looking forward to did not happen.
What appeared was 1 to 2!
The Heat, which had lost two games at home, easily defeated the hot Pistons on the road, finally getting this cosmic invincible battleship's first victory in the playoffs.
At the end of the game between the Heat and the Pistons, the other most watched game of the NBA's three playoff games today is about to come to an end.
Of course, there was also a game between the Bulls and the Celtics in the middle. After the Bulls lost to the Celtics by 3 points in the last game, they returned home 121-118 and won another three points in two overtimes!
The Bulls are really amazing in this series. It should be said that Rose is really amazing in this series. In the first playoff game of his career, he got 42+11 assists and defeated the Celtics. This game was another one. He scored a triple-double of 30 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Under his leadership, the Bulls' veteran basketball players like Antoine Walker and Ricky Davis went crazy.
Seven Bulls players scored in double figures. These veteran players with junk contracts are really not without strength. They need stimulation.
There is no doubt that Celtic are definitely a very, very good thrill.
When entering the playoffs, the Celtics probably never thought that they would be in such big trouble against the Bulls.
The Bulls played really fiercely in the previous three games. If they were not careful, the Celtics almost lost 0-3, and only won the second home game by 3 points.
The third game between the Bulls and Celtics was shocking, with two overtimes and a rookie playoff triple-double, soul-stirring and wonderful.
But most of the viewers who stayed on TV were still paying more attention to the third game between the Spurs and SuperSonics.
Many people still have expectations.
Looking forward to whether the Sonics can counterattack like the Heat in this game.
Of course, not all people who have such expectations support the Sonics.
For example, James, James specially rewarded himself tonight and took a holiday.
Looking at the final score of 98 to 93 on TV, the San Antonio Spurs won a valuable away victory.
James' heart, which had been hanging, finally relaxed.
Not fake!
It’s really hard to save the day!
"Maybe I can really think about my next opponent in the finals!"
