Chapter 324 323: Black Eight has no miracle? The key figure returns!

When he was young, Popovich served as an intelligence agent and was sent to perform tasks in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, Steve Nash later said: "The most terrifying thing about the Spurs is that they have a particularly terrifying coach. That old man was once a spy stationed in the Soviet Union. God knows how many evil ideas he has in his mind."

After saying that, Nash was knocked out by the Spurs in the next game.

Killing and silencing is a common tactic used by intelligence officers.

I don’t know how many clever ideas Popovich has in his mind, but his military career in his youth taught him meticulousness, harshness and discipline.

He replicated all of this on the Spurs.

With these excellent qualities coupled with the arrival of Tim Duncan, the San Antonio Spurs have completely risen!

1999, in the original history, was the year when the Spurs won the championship trophy for the first time in history.

That season, the Spurs lost only two games in the playoffs before winning the championship.

Moreover, they also swept the OK Lakers 4-0. The Sharks, who were already at their peak at that time, were knocked upside down by a second-year idiot.

This is why, ten or twenty years later, the cautious shark will still say: "The championship in the shortened season has no gold content! The Spurs championship means nothing at all!"

He simply couldn't bear the fact that he was swept 4-0 by the Spurs, so he kept belittling the 1999 champion.

The Spurs of 1999 were indeed strong, and the current Spurs have further improved their strength by absorbing Pippen, the strongest player in history.

They are the only team that can win 40 games this season!

The Spurs twin towers were unscrupulous and wreaked havoc on the entire league.

Therefore, it is understandable that Popovich looks down on the Lakers.

Popovich's imaginary enemies are the Jazz, the Suns, the Heat and the Pacers.

Los Angeles Lakers?

It’s just a team that worked hard to get into the playoffs, a team that lost to us three times in a single season.

In fact, the team Popovich most wants to face in the first round is the Lakers!

He wants to trample the former league king first, and then win the championship.

There is no better handover ceremony than this!

The Lakers dynasty is history!

As soon as Popovich spoke, the media in the Holy City began to act like monsters and started to make strange comments:

"There are still two games left in the regular season, and the Lakers' eighth spot has not yet been fully confirmed. Are you thinking about a black eighth miracle?"

"It's been too long since Lakers fans didn't know what it meant to be eighth in the Western Conference versus No. 1 in the Western Conference. They were still immersed in those days when they suddenly killed everyone in the playoffs. Little did they know that the situation had changed."

"Black Eight? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard.

Among the top four in the Western Conference, the Lakers with Shea only defeated the aging Rockets, and they still couldn't beat the Suns, Jazz and Spurs.

No one really thinks that the Lakers can achieve their current ranking by playing against strong teams, right? They can only bully lottery teams."

The media in San Antonio has not been this active in many years.

Although they had an admiral before, the thin admiral was always the one who was outed by other superstars!

Finally, Rodman, the best defensive player, was found to assist the general, but Rodman was still disobedient.

The most annoying thing is that after Rodman left the Lakers, he performed very well and won a championship ring.

This incident has always shown Popovich to be a fool who hid his genius, and the general to be a person without leadership skills.

In short, in the past few years, although the Spurs have basically been a strong team in the Western Conference, the Holy City media and fans have been too frustrated.

The Spurs, the phoenix tail that has always been stepped on by strong teams, are worse than the chicken head.

Now that the Spurs have become so powerful, the Holy City media and fans are naturally extremely vindictive.

Those who bullied us in the past must now be liquidated one by one! Now, we have turned from being the recipients to the offenders!

The Lakers are the first to be liquidated!

The clamor of the Holy City media has completely heated up the first round of the playoffs.

Marbury saw everyone on TV talking about the most high-profile eighth vs. first in history, and he suddenly became angry.

You don’t take me, Political Commissar Ma, seriously, do you?

The regular season isn’t over yet! It’s not certain who will be eighth in the Western Conference!

You really want to slap him to death, but you have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't had a brain twitch and had to kick the cobra and get sent off, would we have lost?

It's no wonder that people have completely ignored the Timberwolves, because the Lakers faced the lottery Celtics and Mavericks in their last two games. The Lakers really didn't want to win, and these two teams had to help the Lakers win.

For the Lakers, the fight for a playoff spot has reached a critical moment.

For the Celtics and Mavericks, the battle for lottery picks has reached a critical moment.

Especially for Greencaps, they missed Duncan in 1997 and Dirk Nowitzki in 1998. Everything went wrong.

This year, they really don’t want to miss Yao Ming again!

So during the game, the Green Kai players even temporarily forgot about the feud between the Lakers and Celtics, and the whole game went crazy.

In the seventh minute of the third quarter, Antoine Walker passed the ball to his inside teammate Potapenko during an attack. But at that time, Potapenko was defended by Ben, which meant that he did not catch the ball at all.

space.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't feed the ball to teammates who are being bypassed. In fact, as long as you hang the ball accurately enough, you can pass the ball to your teammates inside through the defensive players.

But when Antoine Walker faced Potapenko who was being bypassed, he passed the ball to the ground! The basketball bounced back to Ben's hands, and Ben stood still and completed a steal.

!

Don't try to analyze Antoine Walker's brain circuit. After all, he is a strange person who was asked "why he shoots so many three-pointers" and answered everyone "because there is no four-point line in the league."

On the Green Kai bench, head coach Rick Pitino was trying hard not to laugh.

With Walker, the magic weapon in hand, Green Kyle doesn’t have to worry about losing at all!

Green Kai and Mavericks basically follow this approach.

Faced with such an active request for sex, how could the Lakers go against the other party's wishes?

Therefore, the Lakers won the last two games steadily.

Although the Timberwolves also won the last two games, in the end they were kicked out of the playoffs by one win.

The Lakers finally finished this season with a record of 26 wins and 24 losses, officially entering the top eight in the Western Conference!

In the 21 games since Shea's return, the Lakers have only lost 3 games, with a winning rate of 86%!

If sorted by winning percentage, the Lakers' record ranks first in both the Eastern and Western Conferences!

Therefore, the media in Los Angeles are promoting: "The true strength of the Lakers is as good as the top four in the Western Conference!"

Just like that, after the last game of the regular season on May 5, the matchups for the first round of the Western Conference playoffs have been determined.

The Spurs VS Lakers series is officially on the agenda!

The match that fans have been waiting for will finally take place!

The old kings, the Lakers, faced off against the league's upstart Spurs.

The first round was quite exciting!

Naturally, the league is also vigorously promoting this round of games. The day after the regular season ends, all major sports channels are showing trailers for this round of the series.

Los Angeles and San Antonio have also become quite lively, and the smell of war smoke has begun to permeate these two cities.

After training that afternoon, the Lakers even held a press conference to answer various questions about the playoffs.

What Shay is asked about the most, without a doubt, is the Black Eight Miracle!

"No team in history has ever performed a double-eight miracle, of course I know that.

But don't forget, no team in history has ever made the playoffs after starting with 9 wins and 21 losses.

Therefore, history is meant to be broken.

The probability of the eighth place counterattacking the first place is very low, but... I also took the 0.1% chance to bring the Lakers into the playoffs!"

Shay's confident answer made more and more Lakers fans believe that the Black Eight miracle will eventually happen!

The TV station even interviewed many retired stars to predict this game, which shows how big the competition is in this series.

Barkley, who is now TNT's top commentator, raised his fist in an interview: "If anyone can eliminate the Lakers in the first round, it can only be me. But unfortunately, I have retired.

.So, no one in this world can eliminate the Lakers in the first round."

When Drexler saw reporters coming to interview him, he was completely unwilling: "What else can I say? Shay won't lose!"

While playing golf, Jordan faced the camera and took a deep breath of his cigar:
