Pirates: I am Six Eyes Sukuna, the strongest one

For Andrew Gates, who didn't make $800,000 before tax in his entire NBA career, this was a huge sum of money that he had never made in his half-life.

It's just that this way of making money deviated from his original intention and was too mean. But, for someone like him who has been devoted to basketball all his life but is so poor, how much is his original intention worth?

Now the more important thing is... If I really do this and get banned for life, can I still get this money?

Popovich saw Andrew Gates' hesitation and decided to help him stir up trouble.

When Popovich drove everyone else out of the house and left only Andrew Gates, he smiled and said:

"Go ahead, Andrew. I'm optimistic about you. As long as you get Han Yi down, you will be the first contributor to our Spurs' championship. If you don't come to our Spurs' celebration banquet, no one will dare to eat."

"After the season, I will immediately sign a fully guaranteed two-year contract with you, which will definitely be higher than the base salary for next season. Don't worry about it!"

"Okay!" Andrew Gates, who had made up his mind, didn't pretend:

"Coach, I'll be frank. The guy you made me foul is the top 1 in the NBA today. You know what it means to hurt him. I'm not helping you do this for the sake of continuing to play in the NBA. I just ask if you can get the money for me!"

"Just want money?" Popovich opened his arms and hugged Andrew Gates tightly:

"As long as you can do this, you will get all the money at once, no more and no less."

Game 4 of the Finals officially begins!

Still at the Spurs' home court, after the Celtics' ruthless attack on the Spurs in the last game, the Spurs fans collectively said: I'm honest, please be gentle!

Although Popovich has already negotiated with Andrew Gates, a "Han Yi killer", it is obviously too fake to use this guy at the beginning.

Today, the Spurs made a slight adjustment at the beginning, and Sean Elliott, who took the initiative to strike in the last game, was completely put into the cold palace.

The original substitute of Elliott at the third position: Jeremy Kersey was lifted into the starting lineup, which has another benefit. When Sean Elliott was suspended for malicious strike, naturally a spot on the 12-man roster was vacated.

Based on the principle of filling a small forward spot when a small forward spot is vacated, Andrew Gates, a guy who has never played in the playoffs, entered the 12-man rotation roster without any sense of disobedience.

Thinking of this, Popovich, who was drawing the tactics on the tactical board, almost raised his mouth: If you want to commit a malicious foul on Han Yi, it is important to find a villain who dares to sacrifice his life, but the more important point is that the villain who is ready to commit a malicious foul can only commit a malicious foul successfully when Han Yi is completely unprepared!

If Han Yi is guarded before shooting, the effect of the malicious foul will be greatly reduced!

In this way, Andrew Gates, who has played more than 30 games in the NBA and has never been paid attention to by anyone, is the best choice!

But because Popovich bet everything on the malicious foul today, he obviously didn't pay enough attention to other deployments.

Han Yi still carried out the offense according to the position of the last game: all the energy on the defensive end was focused on Tim Duncan, and the offensive end was completely a small forward style!

Although the effect of this style of play in the last game was very good, helping the Celtics to win easily, it was not enough for Han Yi, far from enough!

Compared with the inside line, his outside attack is still far behind, and this gap cannot be made up by training alone. He needs to make further improvements through confrontation in such high-intensity games!

Yes, for Han Yi, this year's championship is certainly important, but now Han Yi is more concerned about how to use the outside strength of the finals to improve his ability!

Since big men have an inside confrontation advantage that small men can't match, as a side effect, when controlling the outside line with a seven-foot body, it is also difficult to be as smooth as a small man.

"If you are new, practice more. If you are not smooth, practice until you are smooth. There is nothing to say. Although the Spurs' perimeter defense is not very good, it is just right for a beginner like me!"

"I want both the championship and training!"

But what surprised Han Yi was that since Sean Elliott said something inexplicable and turned back to the locker room in the last game, the Spurs directly punished him heavily in this game and banned him from the team!

This really made Han Yi unexpected that in terms of strength ranking, Sean Elliott was the best.Sean Elliott's strength is probably ranked around fifth in this Spurs team, and he is already the strongest point in the center line of this Spurs team with dim outside stars.

In the finals where people are most needed, the team actually took the initiative to ban its strongest forward player. Isn't this crazy?

Moreover, although Jeremy Kersey, who replaced Sean Elliott, is also an experienced veteran, the 37-year-old Jeremy Kersey is so old that he only has experience left, and no physical fitness at all.

Although he can play any way, Han Yi still can't help complaining:

"Damn, it's easier to beat you than to beat those sparring partners. Can you give me some strength? Please, please, I'm almost falling asleep when I beat you!"

When Han Yi scored ten points in a row with a 100% hit rate at Jeremy Kersey at the beginning of the game, he couldn't help complaining.

This time, Jerome Kersey's experience worked. As a veteran who has played in the NBA for more than 10 years, he has defended against everyone. It was not the first time he was beaten, so he was not angry at all.

Anyway, no one would expect an old guy like him to defend Han Yi alone, right?

Popovich watched Jerome Kersey being beaten by Han Yi, but he was not anxious at all. He just kept yelling at Kersey: "Tough, tough, defend harder!"

The result is... In the process of increasing toughness, it is inevitable that Han Yi cannot be defended. When the referee blew the whistle again, Han Yi went to the free throw line. During the free throw, he glanced at Jerome Kersey, who had committed two fouls, and was passively sent off. Popovich replaced him with a new guy he had never seen before!

Jerome Kersey and Andrew Gates simply high-fived and passed by each other. Kersey, who didn't know the inside story, was still here to comfort Andrew Gates:

"Brother, come on, just do your best to defend!"

Andrew Gates didn't answer, but stared at Han Yi's back fiercely!

"Duang!"

The second free throw missed!

Han Yi rubbed his hands: "My free throw feeling was a little worse today!"
