Chapter 512: Popovich’s ‘Ambition’ and Durant’s ‘Upper Limit’

In two seasons, they had 1 win and 10 losses against Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics. This record is really embarrassing.

Especially some time ago, it became the backdrop for Yes’ ten consecutive wins.

Although Duncan and the Spurs players are used to being in the background, as the team's head coach, how could he accept such humiliation!

Don't even ask about this street in the NBA. What kind of level is Popovich's insidious, cunning, and retributive man?

Don't think of him as a kind old grandfather just because he has some white hair and beard now.

Sorry, in the future, maybe he will disguise himself as a kind grandfather for some special purposes, but for now, he is still the white guy who wants to win the next championship and strive to become the greatest coach in NBA history. demon!

Last season, he felt that the Spurs had a chance to reach the finals and win the championship.

However, they were dragged down by Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics in the regular season, and finally were swept by the superb performance of Yes and the SuperSonics in the playoffs!

At the end of last season, when he went to bed at night, Popovich would be tossing and turning every time he thought of the moment when Nash and the Suns lifted the championship trophy.

Because the Suns easily won the cup, he really felt that as long as they passed Yes and the SuperSonics, the Spurs would be a more suitable team to win the championship than the Suns.

Last season can be said to be the most regrettable season for him.

This season, he is ready to make up for all the regrets from last season.

The Spurs are now strong. According to NBALIVE2008, the current Spurs have two of the five greatest and most powerful players in the history of the Spurs!

And there are a bunch of strong players with reasonable structure and experience.

The Spurs are now the most powerful team in the eyes of many media experts in the United States, besides the Suns and Rockets, even more powerful than the Big Three of the Boston Celtics in the East.

Such a powerful Spurs were preparing to take revenge on Yes in the previous game when Yes won the tenth consecutive game, and they wanted to launch a counter-attack against Yes.

But the final result is,

Yes once again nailed him and his team to the pillar of shame.

In this season, the Spurs lost to the SuperSonics twice. In the first game, Yes scored a magical score, and in the second game, Yes completed a perfect miracle.

In the history of the NBA, no team has been as miserable as the Spurs, and no coach has been as miserable as Popovich.

He once said that he hates three-pointers the most. This is not a joke. He really hopes that all players in the NBA who can shoot three-pointers will be punished by his favorite disciple, Bruce Bowen, for the "most real sanctions". They can stay away from the 'most beautiful' pure land.

And this is why Ray Allen is the player who has been targeted the most under Bowen.

His most beloved disciple, Bruce Bowen, was so discerning and tasteful.

He is a realist.

If licking David Stern could get the Spurs the same treatment as James, he would lick David Stern without hesitation.

Not to mention David Stern, he is willing to lick even Adam Silver's sinister bald head!

But there is really no way, David Stern really can't lick it.

No matter how much he licks, David Stern will never like him and his spurs.

As a realist.

He could see the opportunity to defeat his greatest enemy, and of course he would not let it go.

The Seattle SuperSonics have always regarded the Spurs as their old enemy in the past few seasons, but the Spurs and he have never regarded the SuperSonics as their old enemy.

Now, after what the Spurs have experienced in the past two seasons, there is no doubt that the SuperSonics are the biggest enemy standing in front of the Spurs.

It's really uncomfortable to say that even when facing the Suns and Rockets, which were at their peak in the past two seasons, the Spurs were not that miserable.

Even now, the whole world is still optimistic about the duel between the Spurs and the SuperSonics, which has welcomed back Bowen, but he really is not that relieved.

Bowen is really strong, but not everyone in the Spurs is Bowen. Bowen's performance in the last game was to the extreme. Yes did not score a point in the first quarter, and Yes was very inefficient throughout the game. Scored more than 20 points.

But in the end, the Spurs still lost. It was really that the other Spurs players were not worthy of Bruce Bowen's performance.

At the same time, the Spurs are indeed not strong enough to crush the SuperSonics.

Now Popovich understands that as long as the Spurs can't crush the SuperSonics in terms of strength, he really can't feel at ease against Yes.

In the past two seasons, he has really been psychologically affected by Yes.

Now watching the game between the Jazz and the SuperSonics, Popovich never left Durant's eyes on the TV after the game.

Durant is the reverse scale of Yes, Durant is the Achilles heel of Yes!

As long as you find a player like Fisher to fight with Durant all the time, then Yes won't be so scary!

8 out of 19 shots!

This is Durant's data in this game.

A stat that looks extremely good for a rookie.

Facing a team like the Jazz with such an excellent defense, being able to shoot 43% from the field is not something that any rookie can do.

Moreover, the level of fighting Durant faced in this game was so high, much higher than before.

In the face of this kind of fighting defense, Durant only took 19 shots, and Popovich saw on TV that his hands were shaking slightly, and he lowered his head and adjusted his breathing. A sign of excessive physical exertion.

You know, Durant's 19 shots in this game were the lowest number of shots in his career!

Durant had never been so tired before when he took more than 30 shots per game.

Facing such a strong defense, Durant's shooting percentage is still very stable, which is surprising.

But faced with such a fighting defense, Durant seems to only have a limit of 19 shots in a game, which is surprising!

This means that as long as Durant is given such a defense, he will not be able to kill anyone!

Under such defensive intensity, the recent shooting rate of about 43% can still be maintained, which means stability.

But when a player can only take about 19 shots in a high-intensity game, what's the point of such stability?

Look at what Kobe and Yes are like. Faced with such a fighting defense, they can guarantee such a stable performance even if they take forty shots!

Without the stability supported by shot numbers, there will not be enough explosive power to score. Without such explosive power, you will not be able to kill anyone!

Compared with Durant, who can only take 19 shots, and Durant, who can take 30 shots, he is simply a Five!

What's more, Durant, who can only take 19 shots, will make so many mistakes for Yes!

Due to the disunity between players and coaches this season, the Jazz's strength has dropped a bit, and they were ultimately unable to solve problems like the SuperSonics and Durant.

He couldn't hit Yes's reverse scale the most painfully, making Yes suffer.

But the Spurs are different.

The strength of the Spurs, the players on the Spurs team, the Spurs have too many ways to defeat the Sonics and crush the Sonics!

When Jerry Sloan opened the 'Pandora's Box' against Durant, Yes and the SuperSonics were no longer so strong for the Spurs.

Similarly, the Spurs will never lose to a team like the SuperSonics again!

He has Duncan and Bowen. In terms of superstars, he is a two-on-one counterpart to Yes!

He has Manu, Parker, Jackson and Durant. How many are there?

It can be said that from now on, the dream that the Spurs regretted losing last season can start to be realized again!

champion!

The championship beckons to the Spurs once again!

Popovich has a hunch that as long as he can defeat the Seattle SuperSonics in the playoffs this season, he and his Spurs can win this year's championship!

He feels the same now as he did last year.

Yes and the SuperSonics are the biggest obstacles standing in front of him and his team!

After passing this obstacle, there is a smooth road ahead like stars sinking into the sea!

Popovich is excited now, really excited!

1 win and 10 losses!

Thirty-five seconds and 13 minutes!

A perfect, perfect kill!

Popovich is such a naturally strong careerist. When did he encounter so much humiliation?

From now on, Popovich will say goodbye to these so-called background boards and shame!

From now on, his Popovich ambition will follow the Spurs' stars into the sky!

After the game against the Jazz, Yes was interviewed by on-site reporters amid the cheers of Seattle SuperSonics fans.

When interviewed by on-site reporters, except for the unstinting praise of Ye Si, almost all other questions revolved around Durant.

Durant played really badly in this game.

The statistics are not that bad, but his performance in the game is his 'worst' this season.

Not to mention these reporters who were already very dissatisfied with Durant.

Even Durant himself is dissatisfied.

He is Kevin Durant, the well-deserved starting forward for this year's All-Stars!

Fisher, despite his virtues, could actually inflict such misfortune on him, allowing Yes to create a career-high nine turnovers in this game!

If it weren't for Yes, the SuperSonics would lose this crucial game against the Jazz!

After playing this game against the Jazz, the Seattle SuperSonics now have a record of 43 wins and 8 losses.

This record still firmly ranks third in the Western Conference.

But after this game, no one will feel that the Seattle SuperSonics' third position in the Western Conference is stable.

Even the two Chinese commentators, Su Qun and Zhang Lili, are at the scene right now.

"Durant is the lifeblood of Jaycee!"

"Yes cares too much about Durant's feelings!"

"Both Pippen and Jordan said that if Yes can lead Durant and Mirza Pronto to win the championship, it will be the most valuable championship in NBA history and will also be the most legendary championship!"

"With Ye's efforts, Durant, Millsap and Rondo have improved greatly in strength, but neither Durant, Millsap or Rondo can become future championship players. !”

"Their flaws are so obvious!"

"Durant, Rondo and Millsap, whether they're next to Leafs or next to someone else, they're not the kind of players who can bring championships to their team and their teammates."

"Ye Si needs to know where to go and what to do!"

"Durant and the others have really reached their upper limit!"

Su Qun and Director Zhang are now a little sad.

After the Rockets were defeated by the Suns for the second time this season, there are now various signs that this year is likely to be the year of the Suns.

As many people have said, this year's most difficult Western Conference in history was prepared by God for the sun's conquest!

As expected this season, both the Suns and Rockets are likely to reach 70 wins.

Is there anything more convincing than defeating an opponent with 70 wins to win the championship?

of course not!

The Rockets have a better record than the SuperSonics, but neither Su Qun nor Director Zhang is very optimistic about the match between the Rockets and the Suns.

Compared with the difficulty every time the Rockets beat the Suns, the SuperSonics beat the Suns, and the Leafs beat the Suns are more worth looking forward to.

But what is distressing is that Yeas is now obsessed with developing players like Durant, Rondo and Millsap.

Such players may be able to play in most NBA teams and even become the main force under the training of Ye Si.

But their flaws make it impossible to play for a championship team.

When the important players of the championship team are not dominant, what they pay attention to is that they should have no shortcomings and will not be targeted.

Look at how Durant was targeted in this game, and then think about how Rondo was targeted last season...

Rondo won't talk about it, just talk about Durant in this game.

It's hard to imagine that a player who is at least 2.06 meters tall would be so afraid of entanglement with the defense.

If you are afraid of being entangled by a player who is also 2.06 meters tall, forget it, but you are actually afraid of being entangled by a relatively short player like Fisher!

Even Fisher can arrange Durant clearly.

Suppose, let’s just say hypothetical, Suppose the SuperSonics reach the Finals and Durant faces the Celtics’ Tony Allen, it is not necessary to arrange for Durant to lie down directly, or to arrange for Durant to kneel down. Call me Teacher Tony Allen?

The Seattle SuperSonics beat the Jazz.

But many viewers around the world couldn't see the joy of the Seattle SuperSonics players on TV.

There is also no joy in seeing the Jazz players.

The Jazz players are the losing side, and if they lose this game, the season is over. It's normal for them to be unhappy.

But what about the SuperSonics... Look at the current record of this team. This is 43 wins and 8 losses, which is a record of 84%. This winning rate is converted into 82 games, which is 69 wins in the season!

SuperSonics still has this expression on his face, and they all think that there is nothing wrong with SuperSonics' expression.

In addition to feeling sorry for Yes, the eyes of the whole world are focused on Durant at this moment.

"Durant is trash!"

"He let Yes take on too many idiotic problems for him that Yes shouldn't take on!"

After the game, the No. 1 fan in the NBA, whether No. 15 or No. 2, directly criticized Durant.

“Man, you’re right x-on:it’s not fifteen it’s second”

The interaction between No. 15, No. 2 and Durant on Twitter quickly became the hottest topic on the Internet!
