This game between the Lakers and Rockets is definitely an epoch-making game for the entire NBA.
The offensive and defensive rhythm of this game is obviously not on the same level as basketball of this era.
The Rockets, who have a 100% proficiency bonus, look like Diaw, and the Lakers' five players are already fast.
When two teams with such a fast offensive and defensive rhythm collide, it is impossible not to be upset.
On November 23, the second day of the battle between the Lakers and Rockets, the Spurs training facility.
Tony Parker, the head player of the Spurs, still has not appeared in the team's training facility.
Compared with Parker's first absence, this time Parker's absence is an internal suspension of Parker by the Spurs.
In the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, Coach D's video was so popular that the Spurs must give a reasonable explanation, otherwise they will not be able to get through it at all, and even Spurs fans will not be able to get through it.
In the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, Coach D's five-year-old + French basketball team became famous, while the Spurs became the backdrop.
Coach D said that without Parker, even Jeanie Buss could lead the Lakers to defeat the Spurs.
In the end, Coach D really succeeded in pretending, and Jeanie Buss became arrogant in the Holy City, which disgusted all the Spurs fans in the Holy City.
So, Pop, why did you give up Tony for Dellavedova!
Is it true that, as Coach D said, in order to straighten Leonard, Parker, who had made great contributions to the Spurs, was stabbed in the back?
For such infamy and accusations, Popovich did not explain. Not only did he not explain, he even increased the pressure and directly suspended Parker for a week.
Parker is not even allowed to come to the team for training, which makes Spurs fans angry.
This is a refusal to admit your mistakes!
Bobo's stubborn temper is back!
It became known that Parker missed training because he lost the starting lineup. Spurs fans actually felt that Parker did something wrong at first. They hoped that Pop and Parker would each take a step back and reconcile.
But the lost development was not at all what they imagined, and Popovich directly banned Parker.
Popovich's approach directly turned Parker's mistakes into no mistakes. It would be strange for Parker not to be angry when a player like Dellavedova was used as a starter, but wasn't he just missing training? This is a small mistake.
Does Parker need to be punished with a one-week suspension and not being able to even enter the training ground?
As soon as Popovich's suspension came out, almost all Spurs fans stood by Parker's side.
GDP is one.
In this time and space, although Stephen Jackson has proven himself with the Lakers, and many Spurs fans know that Parker has framed their Wu Sheng, but even so, Parker is still one of the favorite stars of Spurs fans.
They support all Bobo's decisions.
But I also feel that Bobo shouldn’t treat Parker like this!
So many Spurs fans actually called on Spurs players to come out and reason with Popovich and help Popovich and Parker reconcile. It's best to reconcile as before. Well, it's best to hope that Duncan and Ginobili will come forward.
However, what puzzles Spurs fans is that Duncan and Ginobili did not come forward.
In fact, no Spurs player came forward publicly or expressed their opinions publicly.
Maybe they did it privately but didn't say it publicly. This means that they don't want to put pressure on Popovich for Parker. This means that the Spurs players actually feel that although Popovich treats Parker this way, it is a bit harsh. is correct!
So, what's going on with the Spurs now?
Could it be that when Parker was removed from the starting lineup, not only did he not go to team training, but he also pouted directly at Pop and scolded Pop's whole family?
Otherwise, Spurs fans would not be able to figure this out!
And just when Spurs fans couldn't figure this out.
The Spurs have put Parker on the shelf, are accepting offers from across the league, and are also beginning to market him.
"Pop, I haven't received any constructive offers yet. Those guys are hiding excellent point guards."
In today's NBA, excellent point guards are on the rise, but excellent point guards are also very difficult to trade.
Buford regretfully said to Popovich after walking into the Spurs training facility.
Popovich just said yes and looked at Leonard's training on the training ground.
Buford followed his gaze and saw Leonard's training today.
"Eh? Point guard training? Pop, are you planning to let Kawhi play point guard in future games?!"
Buford was really shocked!
Even if Parker can no longer stay with the Spurs, Kawhi shouldn't be allowed to play point guard!
With Kawhi's organizational skills, playing point guard will definitely cause big problems. The Spurs' regular season record may explode this season!
"Bobo, you!"
"If we can develop Kawhi's organizational skills, everything will be worth it."
Popovich said calmly.
Competing with the Spurs, Lakers and Thunder for the first place in the Western Conference regular season is very tiring. Since it is so tiring, then change your way of life. Instead of competing with these people for first place, compete with these people for the future!
As long as the Spurs can train unlimited defense changes, and cooperate with Leonard's unlimited single points and unlimited singles, he has a hunch that the Spurs will become the strongest team!
Kawhi's singles ability is better than James Harden!
As long as there are no injuries, Coach D and D'Antoni's style of play is tailor-made for Kawhi!
Kawhi may even be more suitable for this style of play than Durant!
After watching the Lakers game yesterday, he couldn't sleep all night.
Not only did he agree to trade Parker, but he was also shocked by the way the game was played.
Popovich feels that he has really seen the essence of basketball and the future of basketball!
Three points!
Middle distance!
breakthrough!
Unlimited singles!
Unlimited defense changes!
speed!
Defend!
attack!
we have everything!
A tactical system can be so comprehensive!
As a master of UCLA tactics, of course he can now see that Coach D’s Fake Basketball + Five Primary Schools is a variant of UCLA, the kind that brings out the old and brings out the new, but Popovich never thought that Coach D would actually hide. Use the UCLA system of playing with unlimited singles!
"Awesome, Coach D is really awesome!"
Popovich's eyes were red and his face was in a daze.
He has been studying UCLA's air-cutting for more than ten years, and in the end he just innovated and used the space of UCLA's air-cutting to expand beyond the three-point line.
His apprentice Cole went a step further and pushed UCLA's cutting space directly to the three-point line.
And what about Coach D? The space for UCLA's air cuts is directly pushed to infinity, and Seth Curry can shoot crazy three-pointers from the backcourt at will!
This is already shocking.
I didn’t expect Coach D to be even more shocked!
Combine UCLA's air-cutting system of avoiding people and playing with the unlimited singles system of staring at people!
Moreover, it was really successfully combined with him!
This is a combination of ice and fire!
Now many coaches in the NBA and NCAA have begun to study and try to imitate D'Antoni's Rockets style of play.
But who is Popovich?
Will Popovich be satisfied with just being strong?
Of course it’s impossible!
Popovich can only be satisfied with the strongest!
When he gave up Larry Brown basketball, gave up his ancestral training on defense, studied UCLA air cuts, and studied offensive basketball, it was because he felt that the league was suppressing defense and encouraging offense. Defense has no future, and only offense has a future.
So he can give up his ancestral precepts, his previous beliefs, and take a completely different path in order to become stronger.
Larry Brown couldn't do that.
Therefore, Larry Brown is a Taoist and the founder of evangelism. He only studies one Tao and only spreads this Tao.
And Popovich is a strong man, he only pursues the strongest, no matter what way, as long as he can reach the strongest, it doesn't matter, I have good talent, I can learn everything, and I can master everything.
The way the Lakers are playing now, Coach D's system that combines UCLA air cuts and unlimited singles is the strongest!
So powerful that he saw the true nature of basketball!
"Our team has fallen behind."
Buford was stunned.
Popovich looked at him in shock.
You know, this Spur is Popovich's most proud Spur!
This Spurs, which Pop has always called his best masterpiece, was actually said to be outdated by Pop! ! !
Could it be that the game between the Lakers and Rockets really stimulated Pop that much?
In fact, he also watched this game last night, and he was also very shocked. After all, he is also a disciple of Larry Brown and a senior brother of Bobo. He is actually more of a direct descendant than Bobo. Well, to use the metaphor of Swordsman That is, Buford is Linghu Chong, who followed Larry Brown at a young age, and even became Larry Brown's chief assistant and chief disciple in the Clippers, while Popovich is just Laudnor, Pop's top coach at a young age. Povich was fired once by Larry Brown.
It's just that Buford's coaching talent is limited and he didn't go down this road.
Even if his talent is limited, his strength must have reached a qualified level. He still has B-level coaching ability, so he can naturally understand the game between the Lakers and Rockets.
It’s really great, it’s great in all directions, it has no blind spots, it needs offense and defense, it needs speed and speed, it needs rhythm and rhythm, it needs three-pointers and three-pointers, it needs mid-range shots and mid-range shots, it has no blind spots in all directions. Very powerful.
but!
This is just a game!
What if the Lakers and Rockets never play a game like this again after this game?
"Believe me, a game like this cannot be played by luck. A game played by luck is a completely different feeling."
Popovich said so, what else could Buford say?
"When trading Tony, don't be limited to point guards. We don't need point guards like Chris Paul. What we need is point guards like McAway, preferably forward 3D players with excellent athletic ability. There are as many as you want. You won’t just have Tony on your hands, you’ll also have Paul on your hands!”
What? !
Buford, who had already adapted to Popovich's words, was once again shocked by Popovich's words.
There's no way, Popovich's words are really shocking.
Pau Gasol!
This is for the players that the Spurs poached with a lot of money for Pop to cut for UCLA!
Are all such players going to be sent away?
Is this too...extreme?
Do you really want to rebuild?
Pau Gasol can be traded, so of course Spurs players like Diaw can also be traded!
crazy!
Really crazy!
Pop was so scared that he wanted to rebuild the Spurs just for a game played by Coach D!
“The next time I meet Coach D, I definitely don’t want to lose to Coach D again!”
Popovich muttered to himself and then looked at Buford.
"Since Coach D said that the Spurs player he fears most is Tony, if you go and make an offer to the Lakers, just say that the Spurs are willing to trade Tony for McAway."
"..."
Buford was speechless.
Bobo!
You weren't really screwed by Coach D, were you?
You don’t know the role of McAway in the Lakers system and the role in Coach D’s heart, right?
Let alone Tony, it’s hard to say whether Kawhi can be replaced by Coach D for McAway!
Although McAway can't shoot, his speed, explosive athleticism, aggressive defense, and evaluation-level organizational skills and ball-handling abilities make his current NBA trade value very high.
"I don't want to get McAway, I just want to tell Tony that the world is dangerous. Leave the Spurs, leave the Holy City, stop being clever, play hard, and the future..."
Popovich sighed haggardly, but did not say that he would be a good person in the future and that he could come back after realizing his mistakes.
With Kawhi here, Tony couldn't come back.
Looking at Bobo who looked haggard at this time, Buford felt very distressed.
Even if Tony did such a thing, Bobo still loved Tony so much.
In order for Tony to have a good life in his next home, he never told Tony about backstabbing the team. He even severely criticized those Spurs players who talked nonsense, saying that he accidentally leaked the starting leak.
This must send Tony away, and also allow Tony to understand clearly the intentions of these sinister monsters, Coach D, and not to be fooled again.
well……
Finally Buford sighed and shook his head.
Parker was also brought up by him.
GDP, he really doesn’t want to break it up.
But Kawhi didn't want to see Tony.
And Tony himself was wrong and couldn't tolerate the team.
This question has no solution.
Buford now even thinks of the Lakers two years ago, and wants to know how Coach D solved the unsolvable problems of Howard and Kobe.
However, even with Coach D, the problems between Howard and Kobe have only been resolved for one season, and one of Howard and Kobe still has to leave.
But in the end, it was Howard who left.
The Spurs are leaving Parker now.
The game between the Lakers and the Spurs was a trigger.
Just let this separation come forward.
"Bobo, don't be sad. You should know that Tony will leave sooner or later... Maybe this is not necessarily a good thing for Tony."
The treatment you get is completely different if you leave when you are still capable of fighting and if you leave when you are old and lusty.
Popovich was stunned for a moment and finally nodded.
"I understand, thank you."
Bobo finally had a forced smile on his face.
And on the other side.
Parker at home now looked even more haggard, not only haggard, but also very unwilling.
"Why!"
"Obviously Bobo himself leaked the starting lineup, why do you want me to leave!"
"I just missed one training session. My contribution to the Spurs doesn't give me even this little privilege?"
Parker was even roaring.
"Tony, just leave if you leave. I've long wanted you to leave. This place is shabby, small and has no money. There's nothing to miss!"
Shabby, small, and no money?
Parker smiled sadly.
Yes, there is really nothing here. What is there to commemorate?
No……
Here is my youth, my companions, my glory...
Parker closed his eyes bitterly.
After a while, Parker seemed to accept this fate and opened his eyes.
"Steve, help me talk to the Spurs. It's okay to leave. I want to play one last game for the Spurs."
"is it necessary?"
Parker looked at Steve Human seriously.
"Is necessary."
Parker smiled, a thoughtful look on his face.
"I want to pass the last ball to Tim, I want to give Manu the last assist, and I want the Spurs fans to see me off."
Looking at the smile on Parker's face, Steve Human was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded.
"I understand, don't worry, they will agree."
After a while, Xiuman hung up the phone, his face looking extremely ugly.
Next to him, Parker, who had a smile on his face just now, now had an extremely ugly look on his face.
"Tony, they said someone doesn't want you to play this game."
"who!"
Human said nothing.
Because the people over there didn’t say anything.
But anyone who is not a fool knows it.
Duncan and Manu of the Spurs usually don't do anything.
Now in the Spurs, there are only two people with such privileges who can bring the Spurs to their knees.
"Kawhi Leonard!"
"Popovich!!"
Seeing Parker roaring incompetently at this time, Xiuman shook his head crazily in his heart.
Why bother!
If I had known today, why would I do it in the first place?
Emotions not only hurt people, but also hurt money!
How nice to be like Chris!
When he thinks of Chris Paul, Human is satisfied. This is the model of a professional player!
Well, Paul was one of his players, too.
Among his players is Pau Gasol.
Pau Gasol originally wanted to stay with the Lakers with a minimum salary, but he persuaded him not to do so.
Silly!
He can get a maximum salary, but he wants to stay in the Lakers with a minimum salary.
Also in the Holy City, Kawhi Leonard's home.
Ever the homebody that he is, Leonard is now sending Spurs fans crazy likes of sympathy for Parker online.
After stepping on it, Leonard added something on the trumpet.
"You never know whether the person you support is a human or a ghost. You think you are looking after sheep, but in fact you may be supporting a devil."
After saying that, Leonard canceled the trumpet account.
Use one to log out one and you will never leave any traces.
The emotions in my heart were expressed without any consequences.
After doing all this, Leonard showed a relaxed smile on his face.
That man finally got out!
At this moment, Dennis Robinson appeared.
He appeared very proudly.
"Hahahaha, Kawhi, it's so funny. Tony Parker actually wants to play the last game for the Spurs. How ridiculous! He actually begs the Spurs to play the last game for the Spurs. Who does he think he is? ? Impossible, absolutely impossible, without my consent, now he has no influence in the Spurs. The current Spurs, we have the final say, Kawhi!"
Leonard was stunned for a moment.
He heard clearly. What his uncle meant was that Parker wanted to play one last game for the Spurs when he left, and then his uncle refused?
"Hahahaha, Kawhi, you don't know how ugly that old guy Popovich and Buford looked at that time, but so what if they were ugly? They are begging us now, not us begging them! The Spurs now, It is absolutely impossible for someone to hurt you again! Anyone who dares to hurt Kawhi should go to hell!"
Leonard understood.
My uncle is using Parker's incident to fight for a higher voice in the team. To put it simply, it is to show his power to give Pop and the Spurs power.
"Uncle, actually, it's not necessary, it's just a game."
Although I hate Parker, the outcome has been decided, so there is no need to really offend him to death.
"Kawhi, do you really think it's not necessary?"
Forehead……
Seeing the somewhat angry look on his uncle's face, Leonard lowered his head, then raised his head expressionlessly and nodded.
"Uncle is right, it is necessary."
Seeing his good nephew say this, Uncle Ka smiled.
And in Popovich's office.
At this time, Popovich was so angry that he was smashing things.
"That bastard! That bastard!!!"
Buford felt helpless watching Popovich act like this.
That guy Dennis Robinson is so fucking disgusting. It can be said that he has offended everyone the Spurs can offend.
This was the first time they had seen such an incompetent agent.
It really offends people to death!
No room left at all!
This guy has no idea that he has such a say now, not because he is great, but because he has a good nephew. Once something goes wrong with Kawhi, or he is no longer at his peak, not only will he be miserable, but he will also be unable to move forward in the NBA. Even his good nephew Kawhi will find it difficult to make it in the NBA!
By then, I'm afraid no one will be willing to do business with this guy, and naturally no one will do business with Kawhi.
With Kawhi's character, he actually obeyed his words and wouldn't disobey him at all!
With the character of Dennis Robinson.
Kawhi will be destroyed by his uncle one day!
"Bobo..."
"I also want to take a last look at GDP..."
Popovich sat slumped in his office chair, as if his whole soul had been drained.
…
…
"Hahahaha, Du, have you seen it? It's so funny. The Spurs actually sent us a trade request and wanted to trade Tony Parker for McAway. Are they crazy?"
In the Lakers' office, Du Kang looked at the Spurs trade application sent by Aunt Jenny in person and smiled.
In fact, this job is general manager Kupchak's job.
but……
Du Kang glanced at the excited Aunt Jenny, then at Kupchak who was like a little daughter-in-law behind Aunt Jenny, and smiled.
Well, Aunt Jenny became the chief assistant coach, which relieved the pressure on Jim Shu, and Jim Shu finally got rid of the sharp sword on his head.
But the sword did not disappear out of thin air, but was inserted directly into Kupchak's head.
So say it.
Just a minute's silence for the aggrieved Lakers general manager.
Speaking of which, the Lakers are also a very interesting team this season.
In the history of the NBA, there has probably never been a time when the most powerful people on a team were the head coach and assistant coaches.
And the Lakers are now.
Du Kang looked at the transaction application in his hand, but he didn't laugh like Aunt Jenny.
"Jenny, what you see is just a transaction application, but what I see is a bloody letter saying goodbye to time."
Um?
After Du Kang finished speaking, Aunt Jenny and Kupchak were stunned.
"The words above were written by Popovich in blood."
Du Kang carefully collected the transaction application that should have been broken into pieces and thrown into the trash can.
"Tell Pop that we like Tony very much, but McAway cannot be traded. If Pop really loves Tony, he should let Tony choose his own team, just like Allen, Vince, Paul, and even Greg. That way.”
After Du Kang finished speaking to Kupchak, he looked at Aunt Jenny with a smile.
"Jenny, tell the media all my words and this deal, and make sure it reaches Parker's ears as soon as possible."
Kupchak was puzzled by the two people who received Du Kang's order. They just refused. There was no need to say so much, right?
"Mitch, what do you think?"
"No, it's nothing, I'll do it right away."
After seeing Kupchak leave, Aunt Jenny looked disdainful.
"The Dog with the Broken Spine! Trash! Not even a yes-man!"
"..."
Damn it!
Aunt Jenny, why didn’t I notice you were so venomous before?
You speak so nicely, can you speak less in the future?
Moreover, Aunt Jenny, you have become more and more presumptuous in front of me recently!
In this case, shouldn't you say it in front of your cronies?
I'm a Jim, and I have a good relationship with Mickey. Is it really okay to say something like this in front of me?
Just when Du Kang was frightened by Aunt Jenny, Aunt Jenny immediately changed her expression and looked at Du Kang with a smile.
"Du, do you think Popovich's trade application is trying to trick you?"
Du Kang retracted his thoughts and nodded.
"You're right to say you cheated me, but I don't want to be such a bad person."
"A bad person who has no good at all should not be a bad person."
Aunt Jenny smiled.
"Du, don't worry. Soon, the whole world will know how warm Coach D is and how ruthless Popovich is."
After Aunt Jenny finished speaking, she left Du Kang's office.
Looking at Aunt Jenny's closed door, Du Kang looked surprised.
"Jimmy, you really can't play with her..."
Du Kang felt that if he didn’t have a system, he would definitely not be able to defeat Aunt Jenny!
This is a woman with full palace fighting skills!
Jenny Bass
Favorability towards you: 99
Mood: happy, happy, excited (It is another beautiful and happy day, the sun is so bright, and the air is full of purifying fragrance.)
Um……
Just looking at these, you will think she is a white lotus.
In fact, she has...
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!
Sure enough, the end of the world is to turn enemies into friends!
Du Kang smiled.
On the other side, Popovich was laughable.
He originally wanted to make Parker realize how dangerous Coach D was, but he didn't expect Coach D to backhand like this.
Popovich felt like he was really going crazy!
Budenholzer next to Popovich didn't know what to say at this time.
Bobo!
Why do you always forget about eating and not fighting?
You obviously know that Coach D has such a dark heart!
Yet you are still playing this game with Coach D!
Good guy!
Now the world knows that the Spurs are recommending Parker to teams across the league.
Now the whole world knows that Popovich is a petty person, so he just made a fuss and traded Parker.
And he doesn’t respect Parker’s opinion at all. It’s recommended by the entire league!
This means that as long as the price is right, Parker is a commodity, even if it is a world of ice and snow, mountains of swords and seas of fire, he has to go!
Not to mention those neutral fans, even the Spurs' own fans can't stand this!
Many Spurs fans have gathered outside now, wanting to find Popovich's explanation in person.
There is really no way around this, the contrast with Coach D is too strong!
Look at how Coach D treats Iverson, Carter and Oden!
Even for Nash, in order to fulfill Nash and Nowitzki's wish to be teammates again, and to let Nowitzki bid farewell to Nash, Coach D even gave Stoudemire, who was extremely valuable at the time, to the Mavericks for free, just in exchange for it. Nowitzki plays a game with Nash.
And what about Parker?
His contribution to the Spurs far exceeds these people's contribution to the Lakers.
But Parker doesn't have the right to choose the team, or even the right to say goodbye.
He was sent away just like that!
"Bobo, what should we do now?"
"We can't continue to burn. Let's speed up the process."
"yes!"
…
…
Du Kang felt that he actually had no intention of targeting Bobo.
But Bobo is really weird. He has to be treated as a bad guy for no reason!
Is he such a bad person?
And he didn't want to be the bad guy in Parker's mind.
Du Kang is actually quite greedy for Parker.
Wouldn't it be interesting to take Parker to take revenge on the Spurs?
I must get back what I lost!
It's just that Du Kang knows that the current Lakers can't get Parker.
at the same time……
"Parker isn't old enough."
Du Kang smiled.
"Du, Parker's trade is completed. The Spurs sent Parker to the Bobcats, uh, the Hornets, in exchange for Lance Stephenson and Biyombo from the Hornets!"
Um?
Du Kang, who was writing about strengthening training methods in the training camp, was stunned.
"I remember Biyombo was an inside striker, right?"
Finsen is very famous, Biyombo is just a trash fish, and Du Kang has impressions but not much, and has not seen him often.
"Trading Parker, not bringing back a point guard, but replacing two forwards, what is Popovich's thinking?"
Du Kang couldn't understand.
At this moment, Lakers general manager Kupchak ran in excitedly.
"Du, just now, the Spurs traded Pau Gasol!"
Um?
Has Gasol been traded?
Is it necessary to trade Gasol for a point guard?
Du Kang took the transaction report in his hand.
“He’s still on the front line!!!”
Du Kang was shocked.
Clifford and Nash next to Du Kang were shocked.
This series of transactions by the Spurs is really incomprehensible!
Why pile up so many forwards?
"Du, Popovich, isn't he crazy!!!!"
Du Kang recovered from the shock. Although he was still surprised, his eyes flickered.
Soon, a smile appeared on Du Kang's face.
"Du, do you know something?"
Clifford, Nash, Ham and Kupchak all looked at Du Kang curiously.
Before Du Kang could speak, Aunt Jenny next to him spoke.
"Popovich should learn from the great Coach D!"
Um?
Um! ! !
After noticing Aunt Jenny’s gaze.
Du Kang smiled.
"Maybe we can find an opportunity to go to the Holy City to collect royalties."
Du Kang was joking.
And Hamm, Nash, Clifford, no one found it funny.
Popovich, this is Popovich!
He actually stole the teacher!
Moreover, the person who steals from the coach is not the famous coaches of the older generation, but Coach D!
For the tactical system of Coach D, I actively gave up the triangle offense and UCLA air cuts!
Could it be!
Is this tactical system created by Coach D so powerful?
It’s awesome, but is it to this extent? !
"Maybe Popovich isn't crazy!"
"This world is crazy!"
"Times have really changed!!!"
Du Kang ignored the three shocked assistants.
Sure enough, it's you, Bobo.
Before the new era came, we started to stock up on strikers.
"You really felt it."
Second update.
(End of chapter)
