Under Popovich's roar, the Spurs players all lowered their heads. Only Duncan looked at Popovich blankly.
"Tim, do you have anything to say?" Popovich asked after taking a breath.
"No!" Duncan smiled: "Master, don't get angry."
Popovich: Fuck! -_-||! !
The pause ends.
Ginobili was replaced by Popovich for Finley to take a breather.
In Popovich's plan, the Spurs first stabilize the situation and consume the Nuggets, and then wait for Ginobili to adjust his condition before taking the field to harvest.
Bruce Bowen has high hopes from Popovich. There is no other way. The Suns have proven that double-teaming Li Yan is a dead end.
And Bowen is already the Spurs' most suitable person to defend Li Yan.
If Bowen can guard Li Yan, then...
Popovich was brought back to reality by Ginobili's voice on the side: "Old man, why are you smiling so obscenely?"
Popovich was so angry that he slapped Ginobili's thinning head:
"Made, it's not like you are not living up to your expectations!"
Back to the game.
Bowen appeared in front of Li Yan with high spirits. Just when Popovich was giving him advice, he gave him a tempting "big cake":
"Bruce, the Spurs will retire your jersey, so you must be able to stop this damn Chinese kid!"
Bowen was elated. For a role player, having his jersey retired is definitely the greatest achievement of his career.
Fans always joke:
When Bowen retires, how many NBA stars will set off fireworks all night long!
Others' contribution is based on how many points they scored, how many assists, blocks, and steals they sent out; while Bowen's was based on how many opposing players he disabled.
No one likes Bowen except the Spurs.
It doesn't matter now, so what if no one else likes me? The Spurs are enough!
Bowen has already seen his jersey raised in the dome of AT&T Arena.
Next to his jersey will be "Admiral" David Robinson and "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan. He will go down in history as a Spurs legend!
Naturally, Li Yan didn't know that Bowen had just been given an injection of invincible chicken blood. He just felt uncomfortable with Bowen's obscene smile.
Bowen stared at Li Yan intently, and Li Yan stared back fiercely.
The camera showed Li Yan and Bowen, and they had the feeling of "What are you looking at?" and "What are you looking at!".
Popovich was very satisfied off the court. Bowen was taking the initiative to challenge Li Yan, which showed that he had overcome the psychological shadow of being hit by Li Yan.
Popovich admires Bowen's ruthlessness.
A championship team needs such characters, and good guys cannot win the championship.
Popovich has never been bound by morality. The winner is the king and the loser. The winner does not need to explain.
Spurs round.
Tony Parker started the offense with the ball.
Parker's speed is very fast, coupled with the change of rhythm during the breakthrough, the "French little sports car" has amazing destructive power.
Iverson was very focused, but his "answer" patience was limited. After the gambling steal failed, Iverson was left behind by Parker.
Li Yan quickly filled the position, and Parker turned around to clear the space. However, Li Yan, who had fully mastered the "gyro turn", was too familiar with Parker's "trick".
Parker didn't get a chance. He calmly handed the ball to Duncan who was in position.
Duncan is the Spurs' "anchor". When encountering difficulties, the first thing Spurs players think of is him.
In this round, Duncan also did not disappoint everyone.
He did not beat Marcus Camby, but wisely chose a 45-degree mid-range shot.
The basketball bounced off the board and hit the net accurately!
The 45-degree rebound is one of Duncan's special skills and has a pretty good hit rate.
Nuggets offense.
Li Yan held the ball, and Bowen immediately followed up.
Bowen used his hands to challenge Li Yan twice very experiencedly. This was a test of the referee's penalty scale.
Bowen glanced at the referee and found that there was no indication.
Now Bowen was relieved, and he began to taunt Li Yan: "Boy, will you try another flop now?"
Li Yan ignored Bowen and gave the ball to Anthony in the "dessert area".
Then Li Yan started to move without the ball, and Bowen struggled with Li Yan.
The two walked around in front of the referee, but the referee had no reaction.
Li Yan also had some confidence in his heart. Confrontation? A small move? Am I, Li, afraid?
Anthony's three-threat breakthrough passed Michael Finley, but Duncan's defense was very quick.
"Melo" was pinned in an uncomfortable position, and Anthony chose to give the ball to Iverson outside.
Iverson changed direction and shook Tony Parker away from the mid-range shot, "dUang!"
The basketball arc is good, but still a little lacking.
The basketball was taken by Oberto, but Li Yan keenly captured Oberto's passing intention.
He intercepted the ball from Parker.
Li Yan made a sharp change of direction and rushed into the three-second zone, and succeeded in an easy layup.
Um, where's Bowen? He was holding his waist to catch his breath!
During the fight with Li Yan just now, Bowen gave Li Yan a slap in the face.
Bowen, who heard that Li Yan was in pain, was not happy for a second before he received a series of "stormy" attacks from Li Yan.
To be honest, Bowen had experienced many battles, so it was not that he couldn't bear Li Yan's strength.
It's just that these five consecutive blows were accurately struck at the same position, which was really sour.
Bowen felt his entire stomach churn, and the banana he had eaten before the game was jumping up and down.
…………
For several consecutive rounds, Bowen, who suffered from gastrointestinal discomfort, did not put any pressure on Li Yan.
Li Yan changed direction and accelerated to pass Bowen, then faced Duncan's help.
Li Yan sent a high-altitude ball to Kenyon Martin who was running and cutting.
The force and height were just right, "Boom!" Kenyon Martin easily dunked into the basket.
Next round.
Li Yan's pick-and-roll breakthrough disrupted the Spurs' defense. This time Li Yan once again sent out an angry nO-lOOk-paSS.
He pointed east and west, looking at Kenyon Martin, but ended up giving the ball to "Melo" Anthony outside the three-point line.
Not only were the Spurs players deceived, but even the Nuggets teammates were caught off guard.
Kenyon Martin caught the air, and Anthony almost missed it.
Fortunately, "Melon" has a solid foundation and adjusted in an instant. He jumped off the ground and shot the ball!
The basketball drew an arc in the air, "Whoa!"
Hollow hit, 57 to 45!
The Nuggets' lead reached 12 points.
"WOW!" "WOW!" "WOW!"
Li Yan's passing was so creative that the Pepsi Center was boiling!
Popovich looked at the "weak" Bowen on the sidelines and yelled: "Bruce, haven't you eaten? Go up and fight!"
Bowen nodded quickly. He worked hard to adjust his condition and get into the game.
It was just that Bowen had just pushed Li Yan fiercely, and Li Yan turned around and hit Bowen with a "Five Lightning Whips" in the referee's blind spot.
The force was not strong, but it hit the same spot again accurately.
This killed Bowen, and he felt some pain in his abdomen.
Li Yan got rid of Bowen and received Iverson's pass. Without stopping, he pushed forward with both hands.
The basketball came to Marcus Camby's hands accurately, "Boom!" Camby easily dunked and succeeded.
59 to 45!
"Farke!" Popovich yelled at Bowen: "What the hell are you doing?"
Bowen held his stomach and explained to Popovich: "Coach, I kind of want to poop."
"Pull a hair, pull it into my pants." Popovich was furious when he saw Bowen's cowardice.
Bowen had no choice but to forcefully lift his anus and suppress his overwhelming stomach.
But after a while, Bowen couldn't hold on anymore. His sphincter couldn't hold it anymore.
There was no contact and Bowen suddenly collapsed.
Li Yan was stunned by this. Hey! You are too fake. This round, I will be at least half a meter away from you!
Parker stepped forward to help Bowen up. With this pull, Bowen could no longer hold on. He only felt his sphincter loosen...
Bowen whispered to Parker: "Tony, go and call a stretcher for me. I'm in the pocket of my pants."
Parker:! ("▔㉨▔)!
