Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 596 Tim, Duncan!
Because of O'Neal's live broadcast, most NBA fans actually have some understanding of Iverson's magical physical therapy skills.

In this era, the Internet is so developed that after O'Neal's live broadcast, there are a lot of video groups that will edit O'Neal's live broadcast. In the past week, the video of Iverson stabbing Duncan is definitely one of the most popular videos.

Even Iverson's fans themselves did not expect that their idol would become a physical therapist one day.

After retiring, Iverson became the head coach of the 76ers and Coach D's apprentice in physical therapy. It seems that he is doing a good job both as a head coach and a physical therapist.

At the very least, judging from his posture, he can really scare people. With his stern expression and cold eyes, Iverson is really too suitable to be a head coach and physical therapist.

That glance represents trust, and you dare not doubt his ability.

At this moment, many Duncan fans at the scene felt that relying on such acupuncture, not Coach D's personal efforts, but Iverson's efforts alone could bring Duncan back to his peak, but it seemed unconvincing no matter how you looked at it.

In fact, after Duncan said that, he couldn't believe that he would be able to recover his athletic ability so soon.

Logically speaking, you know your own body well.

These days, his body hasn't changed much.

Although some feelings may have improved, they are most likely psychological.

Therefore, Duncan himself also found it very mysterious.

But, the last injection from Iverson was really painful!
It was more painful than any previous injection, so he screamed the loudest.

After being yelled at, Duncan felt a little embarrassed. After being yelled at like that in front of so many people, where would he keep his face in the future? Although he is not a person who cares much about face in the NBA, after all, he has been a background board for so many years.

However, there is a beginning and an end. Coach D said that he would be given injections for seven days, and now seven days have passed, so let's just do it. If his athletic ability is really not restored, he will not blame Coach D and Iverson. After all, Coach D also said that this kind of thing requires the right method.

No one can guarantee that they will be able to find a way back.

Finding Howard's three-point switch and the switch to restore his athletic ability is theoretically an impossible task.

No one can do it except Coach D.

Just like many people say, if you can find a stress point, you can easily collapse a bridge. But, has anyone ever seen a normal person really collapse a bridge with just a finger? Not to mention a bridge, even a table cannot be collapsed with just a finger.

Being able to do it in theory and being able to do it in practice are two completely different concepts.

It has to be said that Duncan's mentality is really stable, which is really good.

Most players would cry to death if they endured seven days of such torture and found that there was no effect at all.

But Duncan did not cry to death.

After finishing acupuncture, Iverson took off his white gloves coolly and threw them to Embiid who was nodding beside him. Then Devin Booker and Jeremy Grant took off Iverson's white coat. Iverson had an unusually cold expression on his face at this time, and he looked at Duncan who was lying on the ground with curiosity.

"Tim, you can get up now."

Iverson gave Nash next to him a look, and Nash directed Norman Powell and Myles Turner, two of the team's water cooler players, to help Duncan, who was lying on the ground, up.

At this time, the scene was very noisy.

Fans, spectators, stars, and celebrities were all whispering. The scene of Iverson stabbing Duncan just now was indeed magical.

Although I have watched the live broadcast and video, it is really incredible to see such a scene on the stage of the finals.

Iverson doesn't know how Duncan's recovery is going now, but out of trust in his coach, Iverson still arranges care for Duncan in a successful way.

Duncan has just regained his athletic ability, and he may have great stamina, and can fly with just a light jump. If he jumps too hard or runs too fast, he will get a strain.

Therefore, Norman Powell and Turner need to help Duncan adapt to his body.

Duncan is no longer a rookie. He was briefly restored to his peak physical form by Coach D in that legendary All-Star Game.

So, of course I know it now.

He cooperated very well with the help of Norman Powell and Turner, and was carefully supported as he walked, jumping lightly from time to time.

Under Iverson's guidance, Duncan was doing his own special warm-up training.

"It's so real. Coach D doesn't really think he can fool Popovich into believing that Duncan has recovered his athletic ability, and then make adjustments to the lineup to catch Coach D off guard? Even a basketball rookie like me can guess that Coach D is definitely planning to put Duncan in the starting lineup to make Popovich believe that Duncan has indeed recovered and become a player with Goat-level strength."

"Perhaps Coach D prepared for this plan for a whole season. In order to deceive Popovich, Coach D made up a lie for a whole season, that is, the lie that Duncan would definitely start at home."

"You mean, Duncan won't start this game? Is Coach D lying to Pop?"

In front of a TV in a luxury hotel, former Spurs assistant coach Budenholzer was communicating with some friends around him.

Although Coach D has a precedent of restoring athletic ability for veterans, such as O'Neal, Hill, and Kidd, they are clear evidence.

However, the trio's regained athleticism did not come without a price.

I heard that you have to lie down for at least two or three days after playing a game.

I've heard many people speculate that this is a secret technique that can stimulate the body's potential but may actually shorten one's lifespan.

If Duncan could use the secret technique that O'Neal, Hill and Kidd can use, he could have used it like O'Neal and the others long ago. Is it necessary to let Duncan suffer and be stabbed by Iverson when the finals are almost here?

In other words, the secretary that worked for O'Neal, Hillkid and others was ineffective for Duncan.

In other words, Coach D's method of getting veterans to regain their athleticism did not work for Duncan.

If this is the case, it will be impossible for Coach D to restore Duncan's athletic ability.

If Coach D really had that ability, he could have restored Garnett's athletic ability last season with the Lakers. Wouldn't Garnett have been stronger then?
If Coach D really has such ability, why didn't he restore the athletic ability of Kobe and McGrady during all those years with the Lakers?
Therefore, Coach D is not a god. Even if Coach D's miraculous Chinese medicine therapy can be promoted, and even Iverson and Nash have learned it, there are some things that cannot be done.

"Mike, I think you can remind Popovich not to be fooled by Coach D's bluffing. Coach D has long known that the only opponent in this year's finals can only be the Lakers. He understands the strength of the Lakers better than the whole world, because this Lakers team was created by him, and he knows how invincible this Lakers team is better than anyone else. So, he has been plotting against Popovich since he left the Lakers. Knowing Popovich's feelings for Duncan, he used Popovich's feelings for Duncan to plot against Popovich. I bet that the person in the world who most hopes that Duncan can regain his youth is Popovich! Popovich must now be extremely convinced that Tim Duncan has regained his peak athletic ability. Even if Popovich knows deep down in his heart that this is ridiculous, he will still believe that Tim Duncan has regained his peak athletic ability!"

Budenholzer looked at his friend who was speaking in shock, and then almost subconsciously said: "Coach D, is he that dark?"

Such a blasphemy to Popovich's feelings for Duncan, and the plot against Popovich since he left the Lakers, my God, it really sounds very reasonable.

But why does it feel so incredible?
If Coach D is really doing this, then Coach D is definitely the dirtiest tactician in the world!

In the NBA back then, before Coach D came in, everyone said that Phil Jackson and Pop were the dirtiest people in the NBA who played tactics and psychology. Now that Coach D has emerged, these two people are like white lotuses in front of Coach D.

"I don't think other people have such black hearts. No, maybe some of them have hearts that are even darker, dirtier, and uglier than this, but they definitely don't have the ability to do all this. To plot against one person for an entire season, Mike doesn't think anyone can do this, right?"

Budenholzer was silent.

Indeed, at the very least, he does not have the ability to complete Coach D's plan.

Just take the fact that he can let Tim start at home all the time and eventually achieve an 80-win record, which he can't do.

Coach D doesn't want a good regular season record. He wants a good regular season record, and he has the best regular season record in history. Coach D is like this with the Bobcats. You tell us that it's all Coach D acting and deliberately calculating against Popovich. In fact, if Coach D is willing, he can make the Bobcats have an even better record.

This seems incredible and hard to believe no matter how you look at it.

Of course, this is also where Budenholzer feels hesitant. Being hard to believe and incredible does not mean that it does not exist. Coach D is an incredible and incredible existence.

"It would be nice if Monty was here at this time."

Monty knows Coach D best.

It's a pity that Monty has no interest in helping Popovich defeat Coach D. After all, Monty is a coach as famous as Coach D, and Monty disdains to double-team Coach D, just like Rodman disdains to help the Admiral double-team Olajuwon.

You superstars are fighting against superstars, and you still ask me, the best defensive player, to double-team you. Aren’t you ashamed?
Budenholzer doesn't feel ashamed, but magical Monty will definitely feel ashamed.

Even Popovich might feel ashamed, so he doesn't dare to say directly that he has a think tank behind him.

He reminded Popovich out of their friendship over the years and just wanted to give Popovich a little reminder.

Soon, on the court, at this moment, Popovich, who had been distracted by Duncan and looked a little dazed, did not notice that Bowen, who was not far away, seemed to be communicating something with the audience behind him.

For Popovich, Duncan's current physical condition is indeed his biggest concern.

It is indeed as some people speculated. Ever since he knew that Coach D was looking for a way to help Duncan get back to his peak, he has been looking forward to Duncan really getting back to his peak in his heart.

At that time, he can bring Duncan and GDP back to the Spurs and give them a perfect ending, and everyone can also have a perfect ending.

Therefore, he is very happy that Parker and Ginobili have regained their strength in the Bobcats this season.

As for his opponent, he certainly doesn't want him to be that strong. If he is too strong, he won't be able to beat him.

But GDP is an exception!

"Ye, Tim must have recovered his peak physical talent, right?!"

Popovich originally wanted to discuss it with Bowen, but Bowen was not there. Only another assistant coach of the Lakers, Yes, was there. In the end, Popovich could only discuss it with Yes.

Yess was not reserved and nodded seriously: "It's true, I believe it, it must be true. Maybe, we will see another candidate for the strongest player in basketball history in this game."

Yes's words made Popovich very satisfied.

Bowen, who rushed over from behind, heard the conversation between Yes and Popovich, and his face looked a little shocked.

As expected, the think tank really understands Popovich!
No wonder Popovich has been controlled by Coach D all these years. Coach D has a really dark heart, and he really understands Popovich!
Such a false news could fool Bobo.

"Pop, I think, maybe, we should adjust our starting lineup."

Bowen looked at Yes and whispered in Popovich's ear.

Popovich was a little unhappy when he saw Bowen defending Yes like this.

"Bruce, Yes is also our comrade."

Bowen frowned and looked at Yes. He always felt that this young man with a faint smile on his face was very dangerous.

This was a touch from the soul. Back then on the court, Maizi, Kezi, Kazi, and Aizi had never given him such a dangerous feeling.

"Pop, I think Coach D won't let Tim start this game. Coach D will most likely start with a small lineup!"

Because of the rise of Thabit.

So when the Lakers coaching staff predicted the Bobcats' starting lineup before the game, many people thought that Coach D would start with three centers: Duncan, O'Neal and Thabeet.

Because it is certain that Duncan will start at home.

O'Neal has excellent athletic ability. He can head, run and steal. Most importantly, his body is wide and he can defend Yao Ming, Antetokounmpo and Ebanks. Therefore, O'Neal plays a big role on both offense and defense and is irreplaceable, so he will definitely start.

Thabeet is a big center who plays from the outside and has excellent athletic ability, so he will definitely start.

Then the three greatest combinations in history will be born.

With such a combination, you definitely cannot compete with them in height, not even with Yao Ming.

The inside is too crowded.

Therefore, we must find a way to use the small to restrain the big.

And now, if Duncan is a smokescreen, it is a lie and deception that Coach D has carefully prepared for a season.

If the Bobcats don't have Duncan in their starting lineup, they can't play small.

You will die from childhood!

With the speed and athleticism of O'Neal and Thabeet, the small lineup is a sure win.

"Pop, you may have been deceived by Coach D for a whole season!"

At this moment, Popovich and Yes looked at Bowen as if he was a fool.

Seeing Popovich's eyes at this moment, Bowen was really anxious.

It turns out that Popovich was played around by Coach D.

He is now reminding Popovich, but Popovich totally refuses to listen and there is nothing he can do.

Now Bowen can only be anxious.

At this moment, the audience suddenly exclaimed.

Bowen was a little confused when he heard the exclamation.

Your game hasn't started yet, the players are just warming up, is there any need to make such a fuss?

You fans who have experienced the Curry brothers' pre-game performances, can you still make such a fuss?

Bowen followed the gaze of Popovich, who was also stunned, and looked at the court.

Then, Bowen himself opened his eyes wide, stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Because, at this moment, there was a man flying in the air!

Under this man, a fat man with a camera on his head was excited. He didn't care at all that his head was being pressed by the man in the air, and he was also touched on the back of his head.

"OMG!!!"

Look at the man who just took one step inside the free throw line and then dunked on O'Neal.

The audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, the audience on the computer, whether they were ordinary fans or professionals, all widened their eyes.

Charles Barkley even rushed onto the court!
When Tim Duncan became the No. 1 power forward in NBA history and had just started his career to restore the reputation of the power forward position in the NBA, he failed and became a broken-winged angel.

It is generally recognized that Tim Duncan is the best power forward in the NBA, but because Duncan lost his wings too early, the ranking of the best power forward is very low. In those days, he was not as good as the best center, the best shooting guard, the first point guard, and the first small forward. Now, he is even worse.

And now!
"The best power forward in the NBA is finally no longer the weakest player in the best lineup!!!"

"Tim Duncan can finally justify the position of power forward in the NBA!!!"

There was a loud bang!!!
After a moment of suffocation, Charles Barkley roared loudly!

"Tim! Duncan!!!!"
