When the schedule was set, Carter had not yet gone to the Bulls, and McGrady had not yet gone to the Mavericks, so it was naturally impossible to arrange for the Suns to play a Christmas battle with them at that time.

At that time, Stern had three choices in the Suns' Christmas match against his opponent: the Pistons, the Lakers and the Spurs.

I won’t talk about the Pistons, they have a lot of connections with Li Ang. But Stern thought that the Pistons have no big-name players, so letting them play a Christmas battle will not play a role in attracting traffic.

So Stern considered the Lakers again. But because O'Neal's travel east, the Lakers' strength was somewhat unavailable.

So, Stern finally chose the Spurs to be the Suns' opponent in this Christmas game.

Li Ang looked at the schedule and drew a red circle on Christmas day.

Isn't this just right?

What else is more enjoyable than completing revenge in a live game across the United States?

but......

There is still one and a half months before Christmas, and this is not overnight revenge, it is another month after month.

Can't you jump directly to a month and a half like playing games?

Li Ang had no choice but to put down the schedule, wondering if he wanted to set a new alarm clock for himself: today is Thursday, tomorrow is Friday. Hold on for another month, and then take revenge~

While Li Ang was still worried that he could not take revenge immediately, Popovich was blowing Liu Bi at the press conference.

"Of course, the Phoenix Suns are not invincible. There are no invincible teams in the NBA. Their previous wins five games, which does not mean that they can always win like this."

Popovich was full of energy on the stage. As the first coach to lead the team to defeat the Suns this season, he felt that he had floated up now.

After the game, both Spurs players and Popovich attracted much attention.

After all, this is not an ordinary victory for most ugly fans and media.

Since the Chinese team eliminated Dream Six by 20 points in Athens more than two months ago, Ugly fans and media have been holding their breath.

Hopefully revenge can be taken quickly.

But the two sides met at the World Championships, and the earliest they would go to the 2006 World Championships in Japan.

I can still bear the revenge of the next month. This revenge of the next year is two years later. Who can bear it?

Therefore, ugly fans and media shifted their target from the Chinese team to the NBA team where Chinese players are located.

The Bull and the Sun are the two biggest revenge targets.

After all, the series of massacres at the Olympics were mainly designed by Li Ang and Yao Ming.

Therefore, today the Spurs defeated the Suns led by Li Ang, which made the ugly fans proud.

Look, no matter how much you are, Li Ang, or Liu Bi, you are the only Olympic MVP in history, you can only get beaten in our NBA.

We are still the overlords of the basketball world!

Therefore, it is not surprising that Popovich has been praised throughout the United States.

His appearance made most ugly fans feel that they are standing up again.

"Coach Pop, are you still confident of defeating the sun when you meet next time?" The reporter asked the old thief Vic again.

"I can't predict the outcome of the game, but I think I'm sure. We won today is not by luck. In fact, we have made a lot of arrangements to deal with the sun, and these arrangements have worked.

So, no matter how many times we meet, as long as we have a way to deal with the sun, we can win the game."

Popovich is very confident. If you think that the Spurs can beat the Suns today purely by the players' performance, then you're very wrong.

The previous match between the Bulls and the Suns allowed Popovich to learn a lot from it.

So today, the Spurs gave up the frontcourt rebounds directly, and the entire team quickly retreated and defended, except Duncan.

On the offensive end, he also played mainly in the inside line, and allowed Horry to start and form a connection with Duncan.

It can be said that it is basically a tactic of imitating Skeles.

The only difference is that the Spurs won but the Bulls didn't.

The last time the Bulls lost was because the character player was in poor condition, not because the tactics were not good.

Today, the Spurs performed so well, and combined with the already effective tactics, it would be strange if they didn't win.

Don't forget that the 2005 Spurs in the original history were the championship, and the Spurs were able to move forward in the Western Conference Finals because of the bodies that crossed the Suns.

When it comes to dealing with the sun, Popovich has a way.

The press conference continued, and Popovich was still sitting on the stage with pride waiting for praise.

At this moment, a reporter stood up and asked a question that had nothing to do with the game, but completely triggered the scene.

"Pop, have you heard of Coach Larry recently? How was his injury? During the Olympics, we saw that he was all on the court with injuries."

Popovich looked at the reporter and rubbed his hands.

The opportunity is here!

The opportunity to black Li Ang has finally come!

“Larry had a tough summer, but he was a strong, wise, brave man.

As for his injury, I heard that he had undergone a second repair operation and is currently recovering well.

I just want to say that every time Larry is injured, it is no coincidence.

Let’s just think that Li Ang did it unintentionally, but manslaughter is also a murder!

No matter what your intention is, you will still have to go to prison if you commit a manslaughter.

Li Ang’s previous behavior was very bad, and he also had a dark history in this area. Don’t forget what he did to Carl Malone, and what he did to Kenyon Martin and others.

So what he did to Larry and others cannot simply be attributed to unintentional behavior."

Popovich had long wanted to condemn Li Ang from the commanding heights of morality, but he had suffered from the lack of chance.

That's right, I was the one who took the lead in using Bowen to mess with Li Ang.

But...I just want the evil one to complain first. What can you do with me?

I just want double standards. I can be black, but I can't be black.

And Popovich knew very well that whoever took the lead in occupying the moral commanding heights would be the victim.

What most people care about is not the truth at all.

If you can pretend to be pitiful, you will win half of it!

Seeing the reporters below record what they said frantically, Popovich smiled proudly.

Today, he will let Li Ang lose both the game and the guys!

In this way, Li Ang will definitely not dare to do anything randomly in the future. It can not only ensure his own safety, but also make Li Ang’s reputation bad, which is simply a killing kill.

Master, my disciple has avenged you!

The next day, public opinion was indeed exploded.

Popovich is now a Wei Guangzheng image who saves the ugly national basketball and vents his anger on the ugly national basketball.

If this is placed in China, it is equivalent to a fighting athlete hitting the Japanese boxing champion.

So when he said this, his influence was beyond imagination.

So much so that the results of this game became less important in the newspaper the next day.

The headlines of many sports media are:

"Popovich angrily scolded Li Ang, calling him dirty!"

"I deliberately hurt people to break the history, counting the ten crimes in Li Ang's NBA."

"The hero Povich, who is angry and criticized Li Thief, is pleased!"

Although the Phoenix City media fought back hard and found evidence that the old thief of Vic is the dog.

However, Popovich has taken the lead in bringing up the rhythm and taking the lead. Now in the eyes of the public, he and Larry Brown are the victims.

Although Marbury, who was targeted by Brown and Popovich at the Olympics, took the initiative to tell reporters: "Li Ang is a good person, Popovich is just a bullshit, that guy is full of lies!"

But not many people care about Marbury's speech, and some even said that Marbury was crazy.

After all, as a Chinese, Li Ang won two consecutive NBA titles, won the MVP in the NBA, and eliminated the Dream Team at the Olympics...

All the aggrievance accumulated by ugly fans over the years has been ignited by Popovich's fire.

The fire is simply not something that Phoenix media and Marbury can put out.

As for domestic media...

Let’s talk about it. Domestic media are indeed not more effective in the ugly country and have basically no influence.

No matter how much domestic media maintain it, ugly fans can't see it.

Li Ang looked at the rhythm that the old thief started, and although he was very angry, he couldn't help but smile.

This old thief is talking very closely. You are the rhythm master. You will be able to make the road wider in this game.

The generals of the sun were all angry as they looked at the news in the newspaper.
To be continued...
