Very helpless!

Popovich is really helpless!

In this game, he is already using Duncan to help defend Yes.

In half the game, yes still scored 24 points!

Facing the combination of Duncan and Bowen, they scored 24 points in the half!

Bowen is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA over the past decade.

Duncan is one of the best interior defenders in the NBA over the past decade.

Facing these two people, even the notorious Kobe Bryant, known as the Spurs' nemesis, couldn't play such a half game!

During the previous battle between the Lakers and SuperSonics, he once thought about using Duncan and Kobe to solve the yes problem.

Although the combination of Duncan and Bowen is not as powerful as the combination of Duncan and Kobe.

But the difference is mainly on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, Duncan and Bowen are already the strongest inside and outside combination in the entire league!

Especially in this game, Duncan and Bowen performed very well on the defensive end!

yes is the league's strongest off-ball offensive player.

Popovich has studied many yes games.

He has never seen any player do what Bowen does today!

Yes's almost every attack, Bowen was in place.

But I still can’t prevent it!

It’s so uncomfortable!

Every time I play against yes, it’s really uncomfortable!

There is no competition with yes, but I want to compete with yes!

But with the competition against yes, he needs to rack his brains to solve yes's problem!

I’m both looking forward to it, but I’m also afraid of getting hurt!

This is how he feels now!

"Tim, continue to attack Milicic in the second half. Among the SuperSonics insiders, only Milicic can defend you. Milicic is now in a foul crisis. After Milicic comes off the court, you can attack more fiercely.

Tim, I hope you can fully unleash your offense in this game! I hope your scoring in this game is no less than yes!"

Fully unleash the offense?

The score is no less than yes?

This is not easy.

Before the game started, Duncan still had the confidence to do it, but after halftime, he no longer had such confidence.

yes!

His offensive ability is beyond imagination.

Even Bruce is of no use to him!

This cannot be blamed on Bruce, Bruce actually did a very good job in this game.

only……

"Bruce, your performance was very good in the first half. Don't put unnecessary pressure on me. Yes, the outburst in the first half was not your fault. Reduce the fouls in the second half. I need you to stay on the court more. Today Crawford is against

Our penalties are a little too harsh, you need to pay a little attention to your hand movements."

In this game, Duncan and Bowen are the two most important players.

,

I am very satisfied with Duncan and Popovich, and I am also very satisfied with Bowen and Popovich.

The only dissatisfaction was that Bowen was targeted by Crawford's whistle.

Star whistle, this is normal in the NBA.

The scale of yes is actually pretty good. This new NBA draft pick only received star whistle treatment in the second half of this season.

And Yes is also very different from other players with star whistles. Yes never actively looks for star whistle opportunities.

Yes will never yell at the referee after every attack: "My bowl!"

Judging from Yes's current status in the NBA and according to James' standards, Popovich feels that David Stern doesn't pay enough attention to Yes.

"The game against the SuperSonics is a very difficult game. We will encounter great difficulties in this game. We need to stay focused and hungry at all times during the game. We cannot take it lightly at any time!"

"As long as the person standing opposite us calls yes, we must be prepared for the worst at any time!"

The Spurs have many veterans, including Duncan, Barry, Bowen, Finley, and Horry, who is still lying in the hospital. They are all experienced veterans in their thirties.

They have never seen Popovich become so cautious about any player!

Even the young players on the Spurs, Parker and Ginobili, have been with Popovich for quite some time.

They have also never seen Popovich like this.

I can only say yes to Popovich and put too much pressure on the Spurs!

yes is very powerful and the game is difficult to win.

However, this is a game that cannot be lost. We need to get back the fifth place in the Western Conference that belongs to the Spurs!

In the stands at KeyArena in Seattle.

David Stern was pleased with the first half of this game.

The game was fierce enough, and the performance of the key players was also quite outstanding.

This is what an NBA highlight game should be like!

"Joey's call in the first half was outstanding. He is one of the best and most trustworthy referees in the league."

Ever since James, the former chosen one, was spoiled by his star whistle, David Stern has been reining in the NBA's star whistle.

In order to find the next Jordan, after James appeared, he was too eager for quick success.

Under the favor of his star whistle, James did not become Jordan.

Instead, he has become a player who needs to take a few more steps for a layup. The more open the shot is, the greater the pressure will be.

James' current predicament in the NBA is not just the snake-letting tactic devised by yes.

Another reason is that under his instruction, James' questionable breakthroughs and layups are no longer allowed to be questionable.

Whether it’s one step or two steps, it’s all steps!

Not only that, in every game played by James, if the referee misses a move by James, he will be fined and demerited!

In order to avoid being demerited and fined, many referees would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let one go if there is even the slightest problem with James' breakthrough.

In just two months, James' average number of turnovers per game has increased from 3.7 to 5.7!

Even in many games, James tries to reduce possession of the ball and reduces breakthroughs.

I can't make breakthroughs, I'm not very good at shooting, and I've never learned how to play without the ball.

If you don't struggle like this, it really doesn't make sense.

David Stern sees all of James' struggles on the court.

Now James' confidence is shaken, his despair explodes, and he looks like he is about to be ruined.

But David Stern didn't relent.

He never denied that he loved James very much.

Since James entered the league, he has been growing up under his favor.

His love for James was such that when James faced yes, he even lost his title as the Chosen Son!

James is three years older than yes!

But in front of yes, James is more like the younger one!

Fortunately, James is really young, and he can still step back from the brink and return to the right path to continue growing.

James can no longer rely on his favor to play basketball.

He needs real progress!

James is in pain right now, but as long as he gets through this painful period, there will be spring ahead of him!

Now yes has become the undoubted number one player in the NBA in the future.

But James is still important.

Yes in the west, James in the east!
