Chapter 210
But I didn’t expect that the first round of confrontation was the Spurs who had just welcomed Leonard back to the cultivation of half a season!!
Popovich was watching Yang Jun jumping on the pitch at this time.
“Bobo, phone!”
Popovich’s assistant handed him the phone.
“Whose phone is it?”
Confused, he took the phone from his assistant.
The assistant’s face was solemn, and he really didn’t know how to tell Popovich the news.
The phone was placed next to Popovich’s ear for only three seconds before it slipped out of his hand and landed on the ground, and the new iPhone was torn apart.
Popovich’s feet involuntarily stepped backwards to remember no, his mouth wide open, his eyes sluggish.
“Mourning!”
The assistant went up and grabbed Popovich’s arm to prevent him from falling.
He came over to tell Popovich the news, and he also made a painful mental struggle, after all, the war was imminent.
But he thought of Popovich’s sentence that his family was always just a game in the first game, and still gritted his teeth and gave him the phone.
The call came from Popovich’s sister-in-law, Popovich’s sister-in-law.
Only a short sentence.
But popovich was told the worst news of his life.
The woman who had accompanied him for forty years had left him forever.
Popovich lifted his head, not letting the crowd see the tears in his eyes, and walked step by step towards the players’ tunnel.
“What’s wrong with bobo?!”
Ingram leaned over and pointed to Yang Jun and asked.
Yang Jun saw the back of Popovich who was leaving the field in the direction of Ingram’s finger, and he had some doubts in his heart.
Suddenly, a person stood on the DJ platform of staples center.
This man is a magician, John Xun.
The Lakers have entered the playoffs again after eight years, and John News naturally wants to watch at home.
But he heard the bad news.
He felt the need to announce it to the fans and observe a moment of silence for Popovich’s wife.
“Dear friends in the audience, I would now like to announce a painful news that I have just learned.”
The originally noisy scene became silent the moment the magician spoke.
“Spurs head coach Mr. Popovich’s wife passed away ten minutes ago, and we have sent a private jet to send Mr. Popovich back to the San Antonio Spurs.”
The silent scene just fell on the magician’s voice, and instantly became a lot of noise, not only the staples fans, but also the Spurs players and Lakers players.
Since everyone had just warmed up on the court, this scene was basically not seen by a Spurs player.
“This is an unfortunate and extremely painful thing, and please let us observe a minute of silence for Mr. Popovich’s wife.”
When Yang Jun heard these words, he also closed his eyes.
He kept thinking of what Popovich had said.
“Life is short, it’s not a good thing to be delayed on the field, you have to spend half of your life with your family, Bryant.”
This is what Popovich said to Kobe Bryant after his Achilles tendon rupture and still chose to add a repeat, in his first game against the Spurs.
“My name is Gregg Popovich and I am adamantly opposed to the league pulling the finals back to July.”
That year, after deliberations, the NBA decided to postpone the finals until July.
But Popovich’s words made them change that decision.
“Life is too short, don’t count me in.”
Popovich’s meticulousness on the court, the game can be lost, the ball can not be messed up, this is Popovich’s motto, but also he led the Spurs into the playoffs for two decades.
From Duncan plus David Robinson’s twin towers, to gdp afterwards, and the Lions-centered Spurs that crushed the Miami Big Three, these are the fruits of Popovich’s painstaking management.
This scene emerged from Yang Jun’s mind.
Popovich coached Yang Jun when he was an All-Star, and Popovich was so meticulous at the beginning of the game, but he always used some cold jokes to get closer to the superstars during the break.
“From now on, I’m afraid there will be no more humorous Popovich!”
Yang Jun sighed darkly.
The pain of widowhood is not exaggerated by cutting the heart and digging out the lungs.
At this time, Popovich, who was on the Lakers’ private plane, looked at the unmanned cabin and could no longer hold back the emotions in his heart, and cried loudly.
At the beginning of the game, Aldridge and Lopez jumped in the middle of the road, and after Leonard’s return, Murray, who had been in the starting position, was replaced, in addition to the regular starting lineup of both sides.
The Lakers went from the fifth position to the first position: López, Kuzma, Yang Jun, Ingram and Wade.
The Spurs are Aldridge, Anderson, Leonard, and Danny Green and Mills.
Aldridge’s ankle has been injured this season, so he can bounce far less fast than López, who jumped the ball away from Aldridge’s hand first.
The ball fell into the hands of Yang Jun, who passed the ball to Wade.
Although the offensive speed of Wade as the starting Lakers will be greatly delayed, it can be more threatening on the offensive end.
After all, Wade’s passing gaze and organizational skills among point guards are also top-notch.
Coming up to the first goal, Wade did not choose to pass the ball, but a false shake in disguise to shake Mills into the inside line, jumping Wade threw the ball into the sky, a pair of large hands dead hold the ball and then slammed the hit, helping the Lakers win the first score in the playoffs in nearly eight years.
The master of these hands is naturally Yang Jun!
“Yang Jun’s cooperation with Wade is no less than James’s connection with Wade’s Zhan Wei!”
“, didn’t Yang Jun beat James in the dunk contest?”
In a university dormitory, two men lying on a bed were whispering such a conversation.
“What am I doing with you two?”
Suddenly, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and a fat man with glasses saw this scene when the chrysanthemum tightened, and the chill rushed straight to the heavenly spirit cover.
“Don’t get me wrong, we’re both watching the ball, watching the ball!”
……
Leonard took the ball from Mills’ hand expressionlessly, and it was Yang Jun who was in his place at this time.
Just now Wade’s breakthrough attracted Leonard’s attention and caused Leonard to leak defense, and the price of leakage defense was naturally Yang Jun’s violent dunk hit of the air relay just now, scoring two points for the Lakers.
I have to say that Leonard’s dribbling is still very powerful, his arms are slender, coupled with the huge palms, the height of the ball bouncing up from the cloud is lower than that of ordinary people.
