The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 128 Gift-giving and Anti-gift-giving
During the period from March 3 to April 27, the Suns won four consecutive victories.

Tubaru averaged:

32 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks.

Overwhelming Zach Randolph, who also won all four games, won the Western Conference Player of the Week.

In fact, the most powerful player this week is not Tu Man, nor Turkoglu, but Carmelo Anthony.

The guy averaged 38 points, 10 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.

Good thing he went to the Big Apple!
Otherwise, Tuman will go to Alaska...

On the way to San Antonio, Tu Man was just immersed in his own world, showing a foolish smirk from time to time, looking like a fool who fell asleep with a big star and was hollowed out by happiness.

The teammates didn't know, and they didn't dare to ask.

In fact, it would be safer for Tu Man to have at least two muscles in his hand to exchange authority.

Otherwise, once the disease occurs, only one side of the muscle can be exchanged.

The asymmetry on both sides will still affect the performance...

Nevertheless, the tortured Tuman is still very satisfied:
Something is better than nothing. I am lucky not to run, so what bicycle do I need?

He has decided to play health basketball.

Including today's Spurs, there are still seven regular season games to play. As long as you don't get injured and keep going, once the regular season is over, you will have a lot of honor to reap!

What's the hurry?
In the new week, the opponents of the Suns are:

Spurs, Bulls, Timberwolves and Hornets.

During the team training, Gentry publicly preached the smokescreen the coaching staff prepared for the playoff opponents, namely:
The team will strategically give up games against the Spurs and Bulls.

Therefore, the last week of the season is the best, and I told Tu Man in advance:
Sayanara...

Tu Man was embarrassed to speak. This season, the Suns have really taken care of him from Gentry, Su Maite to Blanks, Robert Savor and his teammates.

There's no reason the season is coming to an end, it's unreasonable for him to have a fight with this.

Make everyone awkward!
Isn't it just a piece of meat, sooner or later there will be!
Turkoglu didn't even follow, and Gentry declared:
The Turkish puppet has a cold and feels a little unwell. He will miss the Suns' game against the Spurs today and the Bulls game the day after tomorrow...

Popovich on the opposite side wondered for a while, why does this sound familiar?
As an old hooligan in the rotation class, Popovich has long since stopped using old-fashioned phrases such as "occasionally feeling the wind and cold". His reasons are always so fresh and natural, such as:

Too tired, toothache, eating too much, older than dirt...

And it is these wonderful reasons that protect GDP and defend the glory of the Spurs.

Looking through the team history of the Spurs, you will find that since Duncan was selected, the San Antonio uniform team has never planned a big deal. They are more like a rigorous craftsman.

Take good care of your best tool (the troika), only make some minor adjustments in a few gadgets, and then take away four championships!
In 2009, the ten-year-old shop seems to be rusting?

The breath of aging came as expected, and the Spurs sent away Bowen, a villain who symbolized their Iron Age.

After trading for Richard Jefferson, continuous struggles came, stumbling to win the 50th game, and the playoffs were finally swept by the old rival Suns.

In the summer of 2010, the Spurs only supplemented Gary Neal and the Brazilian center Splitter selected many years ago.

Looks like you've resigned yourself to your fate?

However, Popovich once again showed his amazing insight.

With just one fine-tuning, the Spurs completed the transformation of the offensive core from the inside out.

Manu Gino Belgium once again served as a regular starter after many years. This move completely activated Richard Jefferson, who was in a downturn last season, and the latter excitedly praised Manu's pass:
"The last time I was so comfortable was Jason Kidd!"

The Spurs started with a 12-game winning streak, followed by another 10-game winning streak, and climbed to No. 50 in the Western Conference early. After winning the first game in March, they won the league's fastest [-] wins!
So far, the Spurs have scored 59 wins and 17 losses.

Three wins higher than the second-ranked Bulls in the league and five wins higher than the second-ranked Lakers in the Western Conference.

Moreover, this is an odd-numbered year, and the curse that weighs on the head of the league reappears. Four years have passed. Could it be that San Antonio will hold that cup again?
Extreme joy begets sorrow!

On March 3, the Spurs played against the Warriors at home.

Not long into the first quarter, Duncan stepped on the foot of No. [-] rookie Ai Pai Udo during a layup, and then fell to the ground in pain.

After being helped into the locker room, he never came back.

The injury kept Duncan out for a full six games, and he didn't come off the bench until April Fool's Day for a token few minutes, but he was still in an uncomfortable state.

If it weren't for Duncan's absence, maybe the Spurs would have won 60 wins and be proud of the world!
Before the game, Tu Man went to chat with Duncan again.

Dumbly tried to tease him, but was dodged, so he rubbed his big hands and said with a smile:
"Little guy, you can rest assured to brush this time!"

Tu Man frowned and said:
"Why, are you still hurt?"

Duncan smiled and said nothing, the question was not professional at all.

The playoffs are coming, and with the Spurs' insignificance, even if he recovers from his injury, he will continue to cheat!

Seeming to have the same idea as Gentry, Popovich did not rest GDP and started all three of them, but they only played 40 minutes combined.

他们的得分依次是8分、7分、6分，篮板分别是5个、4个、3个，助攻各自是3次、2次、1次……

Where is this game?

It's clearly here to make gold flowers!

However, what puzzled Popovich was that Tu Man actually gave himself a rest!

He didn't take advantage of Duncan's absence to stir up trouble in the paint area, leading the team to blow up the Spurs' basket in one fell swoop, killing them without leaving any...

He was obviously in the more agile fourth position, but his desire to attack was low, and he didn't jump much in the audience. He played more like a coolie power forward on the floor?

Defending, screening, grabbing outside passes...

The audience only scored 12 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The focus of the Suns' offense was shifted to the outside line, and almost no one fed the Tuman cakes.

However, Parker and Ginobili did not play, and the Spurs' perimeter defense was more watertight. The Suns' shooters struggled quite a bit, outside the three-point line:

29 of 5 shots!
On the contrary, in the face of the Sun's soft perimeter defense, the Spurs' bench lineup played like an All-Star:

George Hill made 16 of 11 shots, 7 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 32 points, 4 assists, and no turnovers.

Gary Neal made 4 of 3 three-pointers and scored 16 points.

Matt Bonner made 5 of 4 three-pointers and scored 20 points and 11 rebounds.

97:114
The Suns' four-game winning streak was ended.

The gift-giving failed, and the Spurs won a big victory by accident.

已经手握60胜，距离2005-2006赛季创造的队史常规赛最佳胜场纪录（63胜19负）越来越近了……
