Chapter 963 Yin People Are so Disgusting!

Rondo is not a rookie!

Rondo is a great guy!

These are Bowen's words.

In the Spurs, no one doubts anything Bowen says.

Even Popovich would not doubt it.

Just like the media said, if there is one person in the world who is loyal to the Spurs, then this person must be Bowen!

A noble person who is willing to constantly break his legs for the team, who is willing to take all the blame for his teammates and coaches, and who chooses to retire at the peak of his career out of guilt.

Rondo is not a rookie, Rondo is a master!

And still 100% sure!

Popovich doesn’t know why Bowen made such a judgment, but he wants to believe that this is not Bowen’s nonsense.

Bowen won't hurt him or his Spurs.

It didn't happen in the past, it doesn't happen now, and it won't happen in the future.

What's more, now that the Spurs have collapsed like this, no matter how miserable they are, they won't be much worse.

He also has doubts about Rondo's strength.

It's just that he can't be as sure as Bowen.

He could find no evidence to support this argument.

However, Bowen gave him all the suggestions and supporting methods on the phone.

Thinking of Bowen's advice to him, Popovich's eyes kept flickering.

The Spurs failed miserably in the first half.

The team fell behind by nearly 30 points at halftime, gave up the winning game, and failed to defend Rondo in the end.

Rondo still scored a game-high 20 points in the first half.

This result really makes the Spurs feel uncomfortable.

They are already targeting Rondo, which is already the highest treatment for a player of Rondo's level.

Further up, it's a targeted defense against real superstars, the kind of close-to-the-court press, and at night, it's double-teaming.

If the Spurs really use these two types of defense against Rondo, it would be really embarrassing.

Take Nanshan Nursing Home and Beihai Kindergarten. You just used the strongest adult, and you asked this adult to go all out. Isn't it shameful?

And if it is true that neither of these two defenses can withstand Rondo's offense, then it will really be as "disgraceful" as Kobe.

Kobe almost made himself mad because he felt so embarrassed. Jackson didn't even say whether he would accept Popovich's arrangement. Even if he accepted it, what if...

Jackson couldn't be as thick-skinned as Kobe. He was almost going crazy when he was suppressed, and suddenly he was fine.

The first half of the game against the SuperSonics was a very unsuccessful half.

This failed half of the game was also a microcosm of the Spurs' season.

Because of the lack of strength, the Spurs do not have enough strength to do anything. They are quite stretched and cannot cover everything, so they can only sacrifice some things in exchange for something. It is precisely because sometimes sacrifices are needed, and after the sacrifices, they are As a result, the strength decreases, and you may not be able to get what you want in exchange.

Most of the Spurs' players are players who experienced the invincible Spurs last season.

To be honest, most players are not very adaptable to the gap this season.

but……

Who made Bowen so determined to retire?

Bowen's importance to the Spurs is not just a superstar. Bowen's existence allows the Spurs to not worry about the threat of any outside player in the league, even Yes, who met the Spurs before the playoffs last season. He looked a little embarrassed all the time.

It can also be seen from this how much protection they received from Bowen last season.

They say you don’t know what’s truly precious until you lose it.

Now the Spurs really understand what is the most precious thing to themselves and the team.

When the Spurs players returned to the locker room, the expressions on their faces were one of unwillingness and regret.

The Spurs players who thought that Popovich, who was walking in front to answer the phone, looked more unwilling and regretful than them, entered the locker room, but were surprised to find that there was no trace of unwillingness or regret on Popovich's face. Pity.

Popovich's eyes are very bright now, extremely bright, as if he has found the truth!

Seeing Popovich like this, the Spurs players looked at each other in confusion.

Will Popovich be driven crazy by Rondo like Kobe?

Indeed, Rondo and his teammates were too poor in quality, and coupled with the support of Yes, he became a non-mainstream offensive player.

If you defend him, he will score, if you don't defend him, he will not score. This is not only a blow to the defensive players, but also a blow to the opponent's head coach.

Especially Popovich.

When other head coaches encountered Rondo, they would just take a detour without even looking at him.

Popovich must deal with this difficult problem.

But this thorny problem cannot be handled well at all.

I couldn't even deal with it at all, and in the end I could only keep it in my heart, getting more and more bored, until I went crazy with it.

"Bobo..."

Duncan, who has been a little irritable recently, looked at Popovich with worried eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just found something interesting!"

Popovich said to the Spurs players with a smile.

Interesting things!

It is indeed a very interesting thing. If Rondo is really not a rookie but a master as Bruce said, then what level of master is he?

This is a great player who can make Yes average 20+ assists per game!

This is a great player who averages 40+ per game in the NBA!

This is a master who can easily hit any defensive player!

This is a master who used his strength to tease players of Kobe's level on both offense and defense!

Kobe!

Even if Bruce has been so miserable by Kobe in the past two seasons, he dare not say that he can drive Kobe crazy.

And who is Rondo?

Rondo is more than just a Seattle SuperSonics player!

Rondo is still an American, Rondo can still be a player on the Dream Team and a player under him!

Rondo is so strong, plus a stronger Yes, and a Durant who seems to be very strong.

The Seattle SuperSonics' strength this season is terrifying.

If Bruce is right and Rondo is really a great player, then the Seattle SuperSonics this season are ridiculously powerful and will definitely not be worse than the three teams of the Lakers and Heat and Grizzlies.

In this case, there are four super teams in the entire league, and three of them are in the Western Conference. In this situation, it is basically impossible for the Spurs and other Western Conference teams to get ahead.

Early days?

Popovich didn't expect the Spurs to succeed this season.

When he chose to give up victory in such an important game to restrict Rondo, he was mentally prepared for the worst.

After all, it's not like he's never done this kind of thing before.

Given the current situation in the league where there are so many super strong teams, it would be a fool's errand to lead the current Spurs to the championship.

Duncan needs a superstar to help him.

For him and the Spurs, the best option is for Duncan to sit tight and maintain the state and strength of the game. The Spurs can quickly find another superstar or super giant who can compete with Bowen.

Although the 2010 NBA draft is not a big year, this year, there are two twins in John Wall and Avery Bradley!

Getting any of them would allow the Spurs to quickly complete their rebuild.

To win the championship this season or to win the World Championships in 2010, which one should you choose?

In this game, he gave up victory in order to defend Rondo, and he had already made his choice.

The result of the selection was a failure, as far as the first half was concerned, the victory was not won, and Rondo did not defend. Throughout the first half, he and his Spurs were beaten crazy by Rondo and had a piece of food in their mouths. Mouth.

It sucks and it's disgusting.

But now Bruce tells him that Rondo is not poop, but a god. What sticks in their faces and stuffs into their mouths is not poop, but ice cream!

This is completely different.

In this game, he failed to defend Rondo and conquer the hearts of James, Kobe and other players who can become the leaders of the Dream Team.

It is conceivable that after this game, James, Kobe, Anthony, Chris Paul and others still have a wait-and-see attitude towards him and will not express their intention to join the Dream Team.

In the past, this really made him despair. Without the All-Star dream team, he did not have such strong confidence to defeat the Chinese team.

But James and Kobe are unwilling to be leaders of the Dream Team!

Rondo can do it!

Now the whole world thinks Rondo is a scoring garbage. Rondo has never been discussed to join the Dream Team before. Does Rondo himself want to join?

I must have thought about it!

He has not enjoyed the glory of James and Kobe.

He has been sacrificing for Yes.

If he can show up at the right time and express his appreciation to him at the right time, Rondo, who is moved by the time, will definitely kneel down in front of him with tears of gratitude and give everything for him through fire and water!

Thinking of Rondo crying with gratitude in front of him, he was about to kneel down but was quickly supported by him. In the end, Rondo's face became even more moved, and Popovich suddenly felt that he almost laughed out loud.

Hahahaha, boring, so boring!

With a superstar who fights for himself wholeheartedly, Rondo, who leads the scoring, assists, and triple-double ranks, and James and Kobe, who are hairy!

Scoring king, assists king, triple-double king...

Now thinking about Rondo's achievements, Popovich is really shocked.

If Rondo is really a poop, how could he achieve such achievements in the NBA!

The first NBA scoring champion + triple-double champion since Jerry West.

After Oscar Robertson, the NBA's first playoff and regular season triple-double king!

It's not a combination of Jordan and Magic that was banned by Yes.

Rondo's true strength is a combination of Jerry West and Oscar Robertson!

A combination of two top 20 players in NBA history, what will be his true strength?

Rondo's current honor may be less meaningful.

But the real strength is definitely among the top ten in the history of the league!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Popovich finally couldn't help laughing.

"..."

The Spurs player next to him had a confused look on his face.

Is Bobo really okay?

"Ahem."

After noticing his gaffe, Popovich quickly stopped talking.

dull!

The world only known to myself and Bruce is so boring!

"We will change our defensive strategy against Rondo in the second half. Tony, Manu, in the second half, you two double-team Rondo."

"..."

After Popovich finished speaking, the other Spurs players looked dull.

Popovich won't care about the fact that Manu and Tony are ridiculed after being unable to guard.

But, do you really not care about being beaten to 58 by yourself?

Still care about a silly 58!

According to Bruce's suggestion, double-teaming is the best way to test a person's strength.

The whole world will not believe in Rondo's strength because of his pre-match shooting and the strange scoring pattern during the game.

But he can use double-teaming to test Rondo's true strength.

It just depends on whether Rondo can be double-teamed and still become the scoring leader in this game!

Rondo is sacrificing his reputation for Yes.

Yes gave Rondo all the honors of scoring champion and MVP.

This is an exchange between two people.

What the supersonics can gain is the underestimation of enemies all over the world.

I have to say, this move is really powerful.

If Bruce didn't know Yes very well, even a smart person like him would have been kept in the dark even if he noticed the violation.

Yes, since he said that Rondo will lead the scoring in all games this season, he must go back and do it, even if Rondo is double-teamed.

Therefore, as long as Rondo is really double-teamed by Tony Parker and Ginobili, he can win the scoring title in this game.

Then Bruce's guess about Rondo's true strength is correct.

On November 17, 2009, the highly anticipated game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs came to an end.

The score on the court was 168 to 110. The Seattle SuperSonics faced their fateful opponent, the Spurs, at home and played a very exciting offensive battle.

Facing their fateful opponent, the Spurs, the SuperSonics were able to beat the Spurs by 58 points at home, which of course surprised the fans in Seattle.

In fact, Ye Si was also quite surprised.

Yes originally thought that Popovich would do some research and breakthroughs on Rondo's true strength in this game.

Popovich tried to defend Rondo in a destructive manner in this game. With his help, Rondo used his pass to break Popovich's destruction. In the end, Rondo's true strength was exposed.

This is detrimental to his plan to have Rondo win the scoring title every game.

If Popovich really lets the world realize Rondo's strength and starts targeting Rondo, he will also feel very uncomfortable.

But what surprised Ye Si was that Popovich didn't want to destroy Rondo, it was more like testing.

In the third quarter, Parker and Ginobili actually double-teamed Rondo for a while.

and……

Look at the big screen at the scene.

Spurs were beaten to a fifty-eight.

Popovich did not directly attack the players with a black face like he used to do.

He was actually very elegant and came to Rondo with a smile.

"Rajan, another great game, another great performance."

"..."

After the game, reporters from all over the world gathered around Yes.

It was empty all around.

But……

Looking at Popovich with a kind smile on his face, Rondo was really confused.

What expansion is this?

"Rajan, you are one of the strongest players I have ever seen. You are worthy of any honorary position. Are you interested in joining our American team as a leader?"

One of the strongest players?

The leader of Team USA?

Rondo, who was still in the dark, looked at the extremely serious, kind and trusting Popovich, and his iron-like heart actually moved softly.

He was actually recognized!

No less recognition than Yes!

What a sincere expression that was.

Rondo was actually moved by the sincerity and appreciation on Popovich's face...

I'm not dreaming, I'm the leader of Team USA!

Yes, the leader of the Chinese team!

Rondo was excited.

Popovich was also excited.

My journey to becoming the boss of the Seattle SuperSonics finally reached a turning point!

Defeating Yes, I will be the boss of the Seattle SuperSonics!

Defeat Yes, defeat the Chinese team, and I will get back all my glory!

The two were so excited that they even held their hands together.

"Yin people are so disgusting."

Durant muttered in a moderate voice as he walked past Rondo and Popovich.
