45-61, three or four minutes have passed, and the Spurs have not scored a point. This makes Popovich very annoyed. He looked at this group of substitutes and couldn't help but said: "You can fight Miami hard."
As a team, now that we are facing a Lakers team that is seventh in the Western Conference, is it not going to work? Let’s reflect on the problem.”
After about 30 seconds passed, Popovich spoke again: "Do you understand everything? Kawhi, you go first."
Kawhi Leonard nodded. From top to bottom, no one in the Spurs team dissatisfied with this white-haired old man who is only 188cm tall. Because his significance in San Antonio is similar to that of "Zen Master" Jackson in the Windy City of Chicago.
Meaning. You ask why? Because the NBA championship trophy in this city is currently won by his coaching. Even in terms of time and emotion alone, Popovich has to catch up with "Cardinal" Auerbach in Boston.
The green jersey army.
With a long coaching tenure, he will become No. 1 in the four major leagues in North America in the future.
Therefore, anyone who comes to this land must bow his head and listen obediently.
Of course, for now, Kawhi Leonard is still a "good kid", so he replied: "Sir, we were too careless. We didn't expect that No. 29 on the other side suddenly got into a state, which made us a little bit
Caught off guard." After hearing this, Popovich shook his head and said: "Kawhi, you only said one thing. No matter how strong a person's explosion is, it is limited. What's more, he is only a blue-collar worker and does not have the ability to score.
." Leonard was stunned and said: "Sir, what do you mean..."
"The key problem still lies within ourselves." Popovich said: "First, knowing that the opponent is in a defensive state and still attacking hard, doesn't this make the opponent's state better and better? Second,
In the face of emergencies, the ability to respond is too poor, leading by 22 points, I can understand it if you relax a little and underestimate the enemy, but the opponent has scored several goals in a row, why are you not alert? Why are you not completely in a fighting state?
Third, and the key point, is that the core player on the field has poor leadership. He can neither organize his teammates to revitalize the team, nor can he withstand pressure and score by himself. This is a very poor performance for the core. Do you understand?
?”
Although he didn't name anyone, Leonard's head gradually lowered, because everyone knew who was the so-called "core main force" in the lineup just now. Popovich's words seemed to mean
For the whole team, it actually refers specifically to the Spurs' No. 2, which is bigger.
However, Popovich has no intention of "expanding". After all, the young player from Los Angeles in front of him is still an out-and-out big boy, a rookie. There is still a lot of time in the future to slowly polish and train.
.Besides, the team is still leading by 16 points, so there is no need to make a fuss. That will easily make the "future core" frightened and timid. If it hurts self-confidence and self-esteem, it is not the result Popovich wants.
.
After finishing the beating, Popovich began to rearrange the playing list and said: "Manu, are you resting? Come on and do some activities." The person who can be called Manu in the Spurs is, of course, the Argentinian Manu.
Ginobili. He is the Spurs' strongest "one-man" player. Known as Kobe Bryant for 20 minutes, he has saved the Spurs from crisis situations many times.
If Holy City is very famous, look to Parker in good times, Duncan in bad times, and Manu in desperate times. So even though Ginobili is the sixth man in the Spurs, in this position, he has helped Holy City too much.
.Furthermore, he belongs to the "microwave" type. As long as he takes off his clothes and comes on the court, he can immediately show off his power, contribute immediately, break through, strong shot, three-pointer, everything. Moreover, he is also the only one in the San Antonio Spurs that Popovich allows.
"A man outside the system."
Even the team's pillar, Tim Duncan, does not receive such "special treatment".
This shows how important Manu Ginobili is to the Spurs.
If you only use one substitute to measure him, you will definitely get a huge "knock on the throat".
The Pistons back then are an example, their life and death depended on this Argentinian.
It’s only the 2012-13 season, and it’s far from the time when Manu Ginobili’s condition has declined. If he comes on the field, it means that Popovich has to replace the core player on the court. Kawhi Leonard naturally has no objections.
, he is only in the second grade now, and he did not perform well just now. It is natural for Ginobili to take charge of the overall situation.
On the Lakers' side, things were a little different. As soon as they came off the court on the 29th, they had a friction with "veteran" Antoine Jamison.
The reason was that Jamison felt that the former was too disrespectful to him, and those few words just now made him "lost his face."
But this kind of complaint made No. 29 angry. He immediately stood in front of Jamison, lowered his head and said: "If you want face, go get it yourself and fight for it. When Jordan came back with the Wizards, he never saw him saying 'relying on his old age and selling off his old age'."
'Right? If you play well, you play well, if you play poorly, you play poorly. With your current playing attitude, whose face do you want?" Jamison felt that he was senior and was not afraid of Tang Qian at all.
He didn't believe that Tang Qian would beat him up in public, so he blurted out: "Do all rookies talk like this nowadays? Don't respect the seniors at all? People like you will definitely get into big trouble in the future! Do you understand?"
There was a strong "Director of Education" tone, as if Tang Qian was a primary and secondary school student about to be criticized.
Before this time traveling to the 1960s, Tang Qian might have been too lazy to care, but now, it was different.
No. 29 took a step closer and said: "Seniors who work hard and do their duty are certainly worthy of respect, such as Steve, but you, hehehe, your performance tonight and your performance in this series deserve my respect.
Respect?" After finishing speaking, Jamison did not let Jamison speak and continued: "Besides, I don't know if I will get into big trouble in the future, but I know that you are about to get into big trouble now, do you understand?
Senior!" Tang Qian said the last two words extremely powerfully, and the irony was palpable.
This made Jamison lose face. He pushed Tang Qian with his chest in public and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? Chinaman!!! I tell you, this team is not your team!"
!!" As soon as these words came out, the Lakers bench area became quiet, because everyone knew that Jamison had violated a taboo. "Chinaman" is different from "Orientalist". The former is expressly stipulated in No. 29 and is not allowed.
Someone mentioned it in front of him. The last Lakers player mentioned it. What happened? Just look at No. 12 and you will understand. It was both humiliating and beaten. Neither face nor dignity was gained.
So since Howard became a "pace-setter", no one in the entire Lakers locker room will show up stupidly and commit such stupid taboos. After all, compared to "Oriental guy", the word "China guy" expresses degree and part of speech.
, completely different, sarcastic or even insulting, just like "Yankee" versus "Texan" or "redneck".
The former is just that, it is nothing more than dislike, opposition, etc. You can often see it in American blockbusters. But there is no need for "Texas guy" or "red neck guy", which is equivalent to direct provocation and bad temper.
, it is possible to start a fight immediately. As for why the same country, "Yankee" is similar to "Oriental guy" instead of "Chinaman"? This is determined by historical and social reasons. It is too cumbersome to go into details, so for now
Don't mention it.
So when you get angry, it's not too exaggerated to call you "Oriental guy". It's similar to how a foreigner calls "Yankee", but if you just call "China guy", it's equivalent to calling "". Because 150
~160 years ago, this is how white Americans called the first batch of "Chinese migrant workers."
It is obviously directional and discriminatory.
Of course, if you always call someone "Oriental", "Oriental", "Yankee" or "Yankee", it will also annoy people. But in one sentence, the lethality of ""
, obviously much higher than the former. That's why the Lakers suddenly became quiet and became slightly nervous.
Including head coach Mike D'Antoni, they all cursed in their hearts: Did your head get squeezed by the door? Can't you see Howard's end? Hot is not an ordinary Chinese! He is a Chinese similar to Bruce Lee.
!You talk to him like this, don’t you...don’t you deserve a beating???
After about four or five seconds of silence, Laker No. 29 suddenly showed a smile and said: "You can do it if you are not afraid of me, and I have no intention of doing so, but if you call me 'Chinaman' in front of me, this is
Don't you think I'm easy to bully?" Someone pulled Jamison, as if to remind him to shut up, but this move only angered Jamison. He shook off the person's hand and said: "Don't be arrogant!
You are only a second-year rookie! Be polite to me! Understand! When I was running around in the league, you were still sucking on a pacifier!"
Seeing that Jamison was not appreciative, this "well-intentioned" person also retracted his hand and prepared to watch the whole process indifferently.
When Tang Qian saw Jamison's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "When did the NBA become popular about 'thinking about the past'? If they were like you, wouldn't Jordan have to be worshiped by thousands of people when he came back?"
Did he break through and score?" As he said that, Tang Qian's face suddenly darkened and he shouted: "Stop T.M.D. joking!"
"Even if you compare qualifications, you can only bow your head and admit defeat in front of me now, understand?" Tang Qian was no longer merciful, and directly mocked: "I have been around for 15 years and only have 4 honors. What good do you have?
Damn it? I have 6 hard honors now, can I despise you to death?" After saying that, there was no room for Jamison to interrupt, and he pressed forward, squeezing the latter away.
, whispered: "I tell you! I don't care who you are, what your status and qualifications were before, but now that you are in the Lakers, just play for me honestly! If you don't like this or that, just give it to me."
I'll go sit on the bench until the end of the season! Also, don't call me. Since it's your first offense and since you and I are teammates on the same team, I'll forgive you for now. Next time, I'll give you the bridge of my nose.
Staggered, mouth opened, do you hear clearly???"
Why did this guy... suddenly become so domineering and unquestionable?
This feeling is... leadership aura? Champion aura?
But, how is this possible? He has obviously never been the boss, nor has he won a championship?
Mike D'Antoni looked on, feeling slightly curious. When Jamison saw No. 29 treating him like this, he became angry and opened his mouth and said, "How dare you..."
"You think I don't dare???" Tang Qian cut off his words directly, his expression became slightly fierce and said, which made Jamison's arrogance instantly dampened. In fact, Jamison was pretty good to Tang Qian at the beginning.
It's normal, it's not too bad, but when the former slowly rises and slowly takes over his position as the sixth person, he starts to feel unhappy. And once people have this kind of mentality, it's easy to have sexual feelings.
Wearing glasses, no matter how I look at the other person, I feel uncomfortable.
In addition, Tang Qian has been in the limelight recently, and Jamison is even more jealous. He will attack the former if he has nothing to do, as if this can calm the unhappiness in his heart. Tang Qian didn't care at first, because he was indeed the one who took it.
The latter is the sixth man on the team, so as an Oriental, he feels a little apologetic. Moreover, Jamison complains, but he is still very dedicated to playing, so Tang Qian is too lazy to care about anything. But recently, the Lakers 4
The number is a bit "over".
He began to bring his emotions off the court into the court. He became more and more lazy and unfocused when playing, which made Tang Qian feel a little intolerable.
After you get paid and sign the contract, you have to work seriously. This is the basic spirit of professional players. What does it mean to play soy sauce throughout the game without working hard? Tang Qian despises such people.
Because this is tantamount to insulting the sport of basketball.
High school players all know that they have to play well when they get on the court. Is it such a simple truth that you, an old player who has been in the NBA for fifteen years, don’t know it? Is it possible?
Intimidated by Tang Qian's momentum, Jamison paused for a moment before saying, "You, you don't have such qualifications! You asked me to sit on the bench and sit on the bench? Do you think you are the boss of the team? Do you think you are the head coach?
? Do you think the Lakers are your team?"
Unexpectedly, Tang Qian opened his mouth and replied: "Then you heard clearly, now the Lakers... are my team."
"I am now the helmsman of this team."
"If you are convinced, continue to play. If you are not convinced..."
"Just get out of here!!!"
"have you understood???"
