Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 332 Kawhi, do you want to know how to send Tim away? !

December 2015, 4.

The day of the crucial G6 game between the Holy City, the Lakers and the Spurs.

Before the game started, the entire Holy City was already immersed in a sea of ​​celebration and excitement.

The game has not started yet, but the fans in the Holy City have 100% confirmed that this is another victory.

Not only the fans in the Holy City, but also the betting companies outside have now completely reversed the odds.

This is not a bookmaker betting on the Spurs.

But the new bettors are almost all optimistic about the Spurs, and the Spurs' winning odds will naturally start to reverse.

According to the odds, the Spurs' probability of advancing has exceeded 90%!

The Lakers now lead 3-2, but there is almost no possibility of advancing.

Because, the whole world knows that Coach D, the two old Lakers sent by the Celtics, Pierce and Garnett, collapsed!

Especially Garnett, at the critical moment, he pretended to be stunned because he didn't dare to play, which directly gave Coach D a fatal blow!
Everyone knows that Coach D is the most aggressive coach in NBA history. Garnett was afraid that he could not resist Coach D's aggressive tactics, so he continued to work hard for Coach D. In the end, he chose to pretend to be stunned. Let me see how you insult me!
I have to say, this move is indeed cruel!
The Spurs led by Duncan couldn't be defeated one-on-one anyway, but being able to send Coach D away at the critical moment was a relief for the Celtics fans, James, and Danny Ainge.

In this way, Garnett's jersey retired by the Celtics also has a place.

Now, many Celtics fans have once again worshiped Garnett as the hero of the Celtics.

In fact, worshiping Garnett is fake, but humiliating Coach D and mocking Lakers fans are real.

No matter, no matter what, this time, fans, experts, celebrities, gambling companies, everyone has reached a consensus, that is, Coach D is finished, the Lakers are finished.

What's more, in this G6, coach D hasn't even come yet!
How could Aunt Jenny lead this Lakers to defeat Popovich?

Therefore, after G6 ends, the big score must be 3 to 3. In the final tiebreaker, the Lakers will not have any chance even in Los Angeles.

Even if it's Coach D, the Lakers are too smart to be able to cook without straw.

Barkley, Jokic and Garnett are all gone.

For the Lakers, no one can stop Duncan, a player who can truly play center.

"I know you are all talking about Coach D not coming to the Holy City, but what I want to say is, even if Coach D comes here, the final winner of this game will be me and the Spurs. Do you have any objections? ?”

After Popovich finished speaking with a smile, all the Holy City reporters below laughed.

It's rare for Popovich to make a joke, so many other reporters who caught the meaning of Popovich's joke chuckled.

Only reporters from Los Angeles and reporters from China had such ugly expressions on their faces.

At the pre-game press conference, Popovich was in high spirits.

At the pre-game press conference, Popovich's face was glowing.

This really made the Los Angeles reporters and Chinese reporters at the scene unhappy.

Compared with hard power, you Popovich, weren't you beaten by my coach D in this series?

The reason why your Spurs are going to advance now is because of other reasons?

If our coach D hadn't met the villain Garnett, would you have been as happy as you are now?
only……

There is no way, this is the fact.

Therefore, many people sighed in the end.

"God's power this time is too great..."

"After all, Coach D has defeated God twice. This time, God is really angry. He simply didn't even give Coach D a chance..."

After the pre-game press conference, Popovich was in a very happy mood.

At AT&T Arena, the Spurs players who were adapting to the venue were very relaxed at this time.

Coach D did not come to the Holy City, and the Lakers have officially announced that Coach D is now guarding Garnett, so Jenny Buss will still direct this game, and Coach D will not even appear on the sidelines.

Last season, Coach D standing on the sidelines defeated Popovich. This was one of the biggest shames in Popovich's career.

Now Popovich doesn't even have to face Coach D on the sidelines.

Now Popovich is facing rookie head coach Jeanie Buss.

With the Spurs' advantages in strength, system and coach, if they lose this game, many people will be willing to take advantage.

Therefore, at AT&T Arena, Spurs players and celebrities were chatting and laughing.

Because the next game will be relatively easy, even the Admiral came to the court to reward everyone, talking and laughing with the young players of the team.

"Hey guys, I know you don't like having an old zombie like Tim on the team. I guess you must have watched the NBA version of Game of Thrones, which is very popular recently. You know how to bring Tim and Ma Are these two old zombies going to retire?"

After the admiral finished speaking with a smile, the Spurs' originally joyful atmosphere solidified in an instant.

At this moment, Popovich and Budenholzer, who had just finished their pre-game press conference, also walked in.

When Budenholzer heard David Robinson say such things, he was almost frightened and wanted to stop him, but he was held back by Popovich next to him.

"Bobo!"

"David won't hurt the Spurs, he won't hurt Tim, never!"

Popovich's expression was unusually firm.

Hearing what Popovich said, Budenholzer, who had almost rushed out because he thought he was panicked, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at David Robinson not far away in confusion.

Yes, General, it won't hurt the Spurs, let alone Tim.

So, why did David speak like this before a crucial game?

"Tim is the totem of the Spurs, and Manu is low-key and humble. They are completely different from Tony. You can't send Tim and Manu away like you sent away Tony."

The expression on the admiral's face at this time was a smile, but Uncle Ka, who was being stared at by the admiral, snorted coldly.

The general is right. He dreams of sending away these two old zombies from the Spurs. It would be best to send away the zombie Popovich as well.

In the Spurs, Kawhi is the sky, and no one needs to hold down Kawhi’s head!

However, Duncan and Ginobili are indeed difficult to send away.

Duncan and Ginobili are the two totems of the Spurs, but it is obvious that their status in Popovich's heart is too important.

It is so important that it has suppressed the status and space of young people.

As long as there are two people here, even a prince like Leonard can only be a prince. Even if Leonard wins MVP or FMVP, even if the two of them are humble and actively give up their positions, if they don't leave , it is difficult for Leonard to get up.

Just like the general said, the two of them are not simply the old bosses of the Spurs. They are the totems of the Spurs.

After hearing what the general said, Popovich, who had just firmly believed that the general would not harm the Spurs and Duncan, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the general would backstab the Spurs in order to become a player for Coach D.

Now, he was completely relieved, so a smile appeared on his face.

Not far away, ignoring Uncle Ka's extremely aggressive eyes, the admiral smiled and turned his head to look at Leonard.

At this time, Leonard was different from Finson, Waiters, Mirotic and others around him, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

Manu blocked the way of young outsiders such as Waiters, and Duncan blocked the way of young insiders such as Mirotic.

Manu and Duncan even blocked Leonard's path. Without these two old guys, Leonard should have been the protagonist of the Spurs in the first two games.

Is Leonard qualified for the leading role?

No one knows this, but no one wants to be the protagonist.

You will know if you are qualified to be the protagonist or the boss!
But as long as there is Manu and Duncan, at critical moments, Leonard is just a large role player.

And this is where the contradiction lies for the Spurs now after Parker leaves.

Parker has left, but the contradiction between the old and new factions has not. The two major backers of the old school are still with the Spurs, and they are still blocking the way for the newcomers.

General, this is to assist, this is to let the Spurs resolve this conflict and fight for the championship together!

Until now, Budenholzer has also seen what the admiral’s intention is!
Anyone who is stared at by the admiral with such eyes will be a little embarrassed.

Not to mention a young man like Leonard.

However, Leonard, facing the admiral's smiling and scrutinizing eyes, did not panic at all, and just lowered his head slightly.

He is not a man of words.

His jokes might just embarrass others.

But he is not a fool.

"Kawhi, do you know how Tim sent me into retirement?" What? !

After the admiral finished speaking, Leonard, who was still lowering his head, raised his head and looked at the admiral in shock.

Even the other young Spurs players, old players, and even Duncan himself looked at the general in shock.

Especially Duncan himself.

He never sent an admiral into retirement!
Just when Duncan wanted to speak, the admiral directly blocked him with his hand, telling him not to speak.

The admiral, on the other hand, continued to stare at Leonard and said with a smile.

“It’s very simple, as long as you win the championship with Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili this season, I guarantee that you will definitely not see Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili on the Spurs next season. "

After the admiral finished speaking, the originally silent AT&T Arena suddenly became agitated.

Looking at the noisy surroundings, the admiral smiled and pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

After seeing the silence of these Spurs players, the general continued to speak relaxedly.

"You must be curious about why I am so sure, it is simple, because 12 years ago, in the summer of 2003, Tim Duncan and the young Spurs Manu, Tony, Stephen, and Bruce sent me to retire in this way. "

After the admiral finished speaking this time, no one around him made any noise, and everyone was immersed in such a huge amount of information.

The Spurs won the championship in 2003, which was Duncan's season of immortality.

Duncan played like a god in the playoffs, thus completely establishing his position as the number one power forward in history.

It turns out that all this is to send the general off!

After Duncan sent the generals away, young Parker and Ginobili grew rapidly and became GDPs. Young Stephen Jackson and Bruce Bowen also grew rapidly and became important star role players in the league.

"Do you think your position can fall from the sky? Of course, you can fall from the sky, but can this kind of position last long?"

"If you want to get a real long-term position, if you want to truly become the unquestionable symbol of a team and the totem of the entire league, Kawhi, you can learn from Tim Duncan 12 years ago. You know, he did it for me. position, what kind of efforts did you put in?"

The admiral smiled and glanced at Duncan next to him, and then said softly.

"Tim took the position of the number one power forward in NBA history in order to see me off. Do you have such determination, such courage, and such responsibility?"

"Kawhi, tell me, do you dare to play as the number one small forward in history in the playoffs?! Do you have such confidence? Lead the Spurs to the top and send away Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. , personally send away the totem of the previous generation of the Spurs, and crown yourself the king, Kawhi, do you dare?!"

Looking at Leonard with his eyes widened, his fists clenched, and his chest rising and falling violently, he didn't know whether it was because of his surging heart, blood boiling, or anger. The admiral smiled again, and the sharp expression on his face disappeared. Once again, it turned into the kind of warm-next-door big brother smile.

"Kawhi, I don't know if you dare, but 12 years ago, Tim Duncan, who broke his leg and died before reaching his peak, dared, and..."

The admiral looked at Duncan tenderly, with tears in his eyes.

"He did it, and he did it to the best of his ability. Even the most powerful OK has become a footnote to his greatness."

"And what you are facing is just Coach D with a broken wing, the rebellious Warriors who are destined to fail, and the Celtics who are stacked with stars but are actually weak."

After the admiral finished speaking, the eyes of the Spurs players present, especially the young players, were all filled with ambition and desire.

Yes, after Tim Duncan sent off the general, the young CBA players behind Tim Duncan have all achieved greatness!
Could it be that our talents and abilities are worse than those of Ginobili, Parker, Stephen Jackson, and Bruce Bowen?

If you look at the draft picks, who among you here wouldn’t beat these guys?

How can a palace fight be so upright and upright?
Send Duncan away dignifiedly and become the new owner of the Spurs!

Instead of being handed over by Popovich and the Spurs to become the so-called owner.

As long as he can do what Duncan did back then.

Not even Popovich can put pressure on them!

Kawhi will completely become the Spurs No. 1!
Not to mention those young Spurs, even Uncle Card's eyes were shining at this time.

"Kawhi, this season, you can definitely send Tim Duncan away and become the only genius of the Spurs!"

At the most critical moment for the Spurs, when they needed stability and unity the most, the general stood up and his speech was very successful.

Duncan and Budenholzer, who had succeeded not far away, clenched their fists tightly and looked extremely excited.

The general is no longer the Spurs' greatest player!
However, he is definitely the greatest leader of the Spurs!
Without the general's integrity, the Spurs would never have won the championship in 1999 and 2003. Without the general's help, they would never have been able to keep Tim.

All the Spurs' current achievements are rewards based on Tim Duncan.

As for the entire Spurs, the person who has the greatest influence on Tim Duncan is the general.

And the general can always stand up and save the Spurs at the most critical moment!
Budenholzer felt like he was in a dream at this point.

When Parker left, he felt like the Spurs were about to disband.

"Bobo, is this how our problem is solved?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Popovich was equally excited.

The admiral left, followed by Duncan.

After Duncan caught up with the admiral at the door, he looked at the admiral seriously with dull eyes.

"You know, I didn't mean to send you away back then. I never thought about it!"

Duncan, who had always been dull, actually had a drastic change in mood. Seeing this, the admiral smiled and patted Duncan on the shoulder.

"Tim, I know that the reason you put in all your efforts is not to send me away, but to give me the best gift."

Duncan froze.

The admiral turned around and looked at the sky outside, his face filled with memories and that sweet smile.

"Tim, thank you. Hajim gave me the most painful memories. You gave me the sweetest memories. The sweetness you brought to me healed the pain Hajim brought me."

Duncan's eyes widened and he continued to stare.

The admiral turned around and looked at Duncan with a smile.

"Bitterness and sweetness are the most complete and beautiful life, isn't it?"

"Thank you and Hajim for giving me the most complete and perfect career."

"I'm also happy for Hajim to get this perfection under coach D.

Likewise, Tim, you deserve this perfection.

I think these young guys from the Spurs will also give you the perfect farewell.

And this is the only thing I can do for you. "

The admiral finished speaking with a smile and patted Duncan on the shoulder.

"Looking forward to the day when you are sent away, how wonderful it will be."

After saying that, the admiral turned and left.

Looking at the admiral's back, Duncan clenched his fists tightly.

After a long time.

Only then did Duncan open his lips.

"David, thank you..."

The first big brother I met in my career was an admiral. Really, it was perfect.

And in another time and space.

staples.

The tiebreaker is over.

The Spurs defeated the Lakers 90-88.

Tim Duncan hit the winning mid-range shot against O'Neal's defense at the last moment.

The moment the game ended, O'Neal was stunned and Kobe was at a loss.

And the admiral hugged Duncan hard.

The admiral hugged Duncan, who almost made a one-legged shot at this time, raised his right hand high and pointed at the sky at Staples, sobbing uncontrollably.

"David, I said, I will give you the most perfect ending!"

Thank you for your selfless company for so many years...
