After a while, the team's first assistant coach Budenholzer came in.

Compared to Popovich, who was very emotionally fluctuating, Budenholzer was gentle and elegant, which was completely another extreme.

"Greg is in a bad mood today. Don't hit the gun in the middle of it if you have nothing to do."

Budenholzer reminded after coming in.

The team members showed doubts, but they all nodded one after another.

After a while, Popovich came in.

As Budenholzer said, his face was gloomy and ugly, as if everyone owed him $500.

"The next game is very important. You'd better not do anything wrong on the court. If you do something wrong, just sit on the bench!"

He also said some tactical details. This time he did not change to a smile on his face in the end, and left with a tense face.

When he left, the team members looked at each other. Popovich's condition was really uncommon.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile.

It seems that Popovich also saw the news of Paul and his post-match interview, and he should have been angry.

Although he is actually over 60 years old, he is sometimes very young in his heart.

The Lakers lost to the Thunder 100-103 at home in the fourth game, and the big score also turned 1-3.

Both Los Angeles teams took such a big score to the opening game.

This time they don’t see who can win a game, but who can stand up for a while.

The Spurs and Clippers were scheduled for training on the game day, but there were some nuances between the two teams.

The Spurs' training is closed and not open to the media, while the Clippers are open to the public.

Under the media footage, the Clippers' players smile from time to time, looking quite relaxed.

They really have completely put down their psychological burden as Griffin said before.

The ATT stadium was full that night, and the fans sat in this old stadium.

Among the signs held in the audience's hands, in addition to the ones you can see, there are also some very eye-catching ones.

"Tell them some lessons!"

"Shut them up!"

"Let them go fishing tonight!"

...

San Antonio, the Buddhist fans, have become so excited.

The only possible reason here is the post-match interview between Paul and Griffin. It seems that this incident has angered the public.

"Kenny, I have a strong sense that this game will be a little different from usual."

The commentary of this game is Barkley, Kenny Smith, and O'Neal. Before the game started, Barkley could not help but speak.

"It's your unique sixth sense?" Smith looked at Barkley with a smile.

"No, look at the expressions of the Spurs players." Barkley said as he looked at the Spurs bench.

Smith turned his head and then discovered what Barkley was talking about.

The Spurs' expressions were very serious, and this was the first time I saw each other this year.

It seems that the game tonight will be a little different.

This seriousness even spread to the opening ceremony.

When the Spurs starters came on the stage, their expressions were cold, as if they were infected by Duncan and Leonard.

The fans on the scene became even more excited when they saw the players' reaction.

If the remarks of Paul and Griffin are escalating, they can be considered provocative, and the Spurs should also make some responses.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started to play one after another.

Neither side has adjusted the starting lineup.

Duncan and Jordan Jr. jump ball.

With a whistle on the sidelines, Duncan reacted extremely quickly this time. He actually turned the ball back to the Spurs' half before Jordan Jr.

He actually jumped and won!

The first time in the series!

A burst of cheers suddenly broke out at the scene, which was a very strong signal!

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt, and with an AI Hammer tactic, Leonard's open three-pointer missed a little.

But Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound with a tough snatch and dunked the ball into the basket through Jordan Jr.

The fans were shocked.

What.The.Fxck!

This is 35-year-old Duncan?!

It's 25!

Jordan was stunned. He had never played against Duncan at the top, but after playing so many games, this was the first time he felt that he was powerless.

Budenholzer's eyes widened at this time.

Duncan really can't view it according to common sense. Popovich was angry, so he also entered the time-turning mode?

In the Clippers' offense, Paul and Griffin cooperated. Griffin turned around and ran over Dior's shot at the basket.

"Bang!"

As soon as the ball was shot, Duncan slapped out of the field.

"Tim ~ ​​Duncan!"

Accompanied by the DJ's shouts on the scene, the fans on the scene felt a trembling from the depths of their souls.

Duncan wet them with this offense and defense!

This year, Duncan is about to be 35 and 36, and his beard is already a little bit white, but just now, he directly dominated the penalty area with one attack and defense!

"Do you know? This guy used to play like this every day."

O'Neal said with memories in his eyes at this time.

O'Neal has a high vision and not many big men can be recognized by him, and Duncan is one of them.

This sentence is not only a recognition of Duncan, but also a feeling.

You should know that Duncan has already secured the position of the No. 1 power forward in history.

Tang Tian was probably the one with the most balanced mentality at this time.

In fact, Duncan rarely relies on his body even at his peak, so his playing skills declined very slowly.

In addition to the physical strength problems caused by age, if he fights with all his strength, he still has a peak of 70% to 80% at this time.

Duncan basically keeps playing in the regular season, including the games before the playoffs.

But when Popovich got angry, his old subordinate couldn't help it.

Rookie No. 21!

The Clippers' sideline ball was sent out, and Paul's mid-range tilt was disturbed by Duncan's long arm, and he almost threw a three-no-touch shot.

Dior received a defensive rebound and Parker took the ball to the frontcourt.

At this time, Duncan leaned against Jordan Jr. and took the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post!

Tonight's "Stone Buddha" is really different!

Parker signaled his teammates to pull away and then put the ball in.

After receiving the ball, Duncan hit Jordan Jr. After turning to the free throw line, he tricked Jordan Jr., and then turned back to a signature board.

"Bang!"

The ball bounced back against the rebound.

Iconic board score!

Duncan scored 4 points in a row at the beginning!

"I found out that he was in an angry state tonight." Barkley said.

"What? You can tell this too? His facial expression has not changed at all?" O'Neal couldn't help but say at this time.

"No, Shaq, he can't look at his face, you have to look at his body movements and look at his eyes," Barkley explained.

He has watched a lot in the commentary seat and is more experienced in this area.

After hearing this, O'Neal squinted his eyes and looked at Duncan carefully.

Don't say, Duncan's expression remains unchanged for many years, but this look.

Huh?

Why do you look a little cute?

Well, I can't tell the look at me.

If Duncan smiled again now, he probably wouldn't have to do with Crawford, O'Neal wanted to give him a T.

However, it can be seen from his physical movements that Duncan is a little different tonight.
