Pirates: I am Six Eyes Sukuna, the strongest one

Popovich couldn't call a timeout immediately to readjust the personnel configuration, not because Popovich was reluctant to call a timeout, but because Duncan was really exhausted now!

If the opponent was a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, then the low-health Duncan could still beat them from beginning to end, but now the opponent was the most terrifying demon in the NBA today, Han Yi!

Popovich glanced at Tim Duncan, whose jersey was completely soaked like water, shook his head, and thought to himself:

Can't play anymore, need to rest for at least three minutes, otherwise Duncan is really at risk of injury!

If Duncan is allowed to play now, he will definitely play, because young people are so aggressive. Even if Duncan is so tired, he can still perform far better than other players on the Spurs. But the risk is:

When the player is already physically exhausted, he can continue to work at full strength, but the result of doing so is that the probability of injury increases significantly. I don’t know how many proud children of heaven have fallen in this way!

Duncan is Popovich’s father who has been carefully selected for the Spurs for at least the next 10 years. He can’t let his father make any mistakes when he is behind 1:3!

"Yes!" Following this line of thought, Popovich's eyes lit up again!

Duncan is already exhausted, so won’t Han Yi, who played the whole first quarter and endured countless inside attacks, be tired?

Looking at all the NBA defenses, if the NBA’s inside melee defense is the second most tiring, then no other defense dares to claim to be the most tiring!

Duncan is so tired that he is at risk of injury if he continues to play. You, Han Yi, are probably reaching your limit, right?

Two plans came to Popovich's mind at this time:

Ordinary plan: Make Han Yi commit his fourth foul, so that he has to withdraw from the second quarter!

Super plan: No need for malicious fouls, just continue to increase the confrontation with Han Yi on both offense and defense, so that his body will be injured due to severe physical overdraft, thus winning without fighting!

"In this case, neither David Stern nor Auerbach can say anything. After all, his injury was caused by himself. If you want to blame, you can only blame their incompetent and rubbish head coach Rick Pidino who can't control Han Yi!"

At this time, the Celtics head coach Rick Pidino on the opposite side was also on pins and needles. He certainly knew that Han Yi should not be allowed to continue playing in this situation, but how could he persuade Han Yi?

Because Han Yi said:

"I know they want to foul me, and I also know that the referee wants the opponent to win today. I am not sure if I can protect my foul while maintaining the same defensive intensity, but the only thing I am sure of is: I will lift the damn championship trophy in the Alamodome tonight!"

If Han Yi is really injured in this game due to the high intensity of continuous playing, Rick Pidino knows that his head coaching position is 100% lost, but he is still willing to believe Han Yi.

Because in Pidino's eyes, Han Yi is the miracle itself!

Han Yi saw that Duncan didn't play, so I won't pretend, and I'm still playing outside?

Han Yi raised his big butt and directly knocked Mario Elie, who tried to block him on the outside, and then his figure swayed, and he combined with the ball and flashed directly under the basket!

"Bang!"

Another dunk!

37:10!

This time, David Robinson is under Han Yi again!

In this round of the series, David Robinson couldn't remember how many times Han Yi had dunked on him!

"What a bastard!" David Robinson said in despair: "I was obviously ready to hide!"

Looking back, it was the Spurs' turn to attack. Popovich's idea was naturally to continue to foul Han Yi, but in reality, when Duncan was not there, the remaining Spurs players rushed into the inside, which meant they were blocked, and there was no possibility of taking advantage of him at all!

David Robinson confronted Han Yi in the inside, and confirmed this again: he couldn't play, he couldn't play at all!

The Admiral passed the ball to the outside again!

After a long journey, it came to Steve Kerr, who made his debut in this game!

Kerr had no distractions after getting the ball, and he just shot it!

After all, it was completely unrealistic for him to go to the inside to foul!

However-Steve Kerr was hit by someone just after he jumped up!

The referee whistled! Defensive foul! Give Kerr three free throws!

Is it Han Yi?

Steve Kerr lay on the ground, his eyes full of stars, but he was ecstatic in his heart: If it was Han Yi, then I would have made a fortune by being blocked this time!

Unfortunately——Steve Kerr opened his eyes and saw a big black head!

Oh, no!

It's Stephen Jackson!

"Humph!" Stephen Jackson said fiercely: "Old man, aren't you guys ruthless? Aren't you crazy about Han Yi? Let's see how ruthless you are!"

Steve Kerr stood up with a grin: "This is my first time on the court today. They are so aggressive. What does it have to do with a pure shooter like me?"

"What? You didn't play?" Stephen Jackson curled his lips: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. After all, I just played!"

Steve Kerr: "???"

Cole, who was stunned by the block, only made 1 of the three free throws from the free throw line!

37:11!

In this game, the Spurs played an open card, that is, to beat Han Yi by committing fouls, and Rick Pidino's counterattack was equally rough:

You are attacking Han Yi, right?

Okay, I'll destroy your entire team!

The San Antonio Spurs, who only scored 10 points in the first quarter, lost all their touch when they encountered the Celtics who suddenly raised their defense intensity by several levels!

When Han Yi turned over David Robinson with his back, turned around and dunked for two more points, Popovich couldn't hold it anymore!

"Foul, it's a foul!" Popovich shouted on the sidelines!

As long as the referee blew the offensive foul, the Spurs still had a chance to come back to life!

But this time the referee was indifferent to it, saying that Han Yi's goal was valid, no problem!

Popovich was so anxious that he jumped on the sidelines and cursed at the three referees on the court!

It seemed that the referee was Popovich's best ally in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, he became Popovich's father-killing enemy!

The referee reacted quickly and gave Popovich a technical foul, and also gave Popovich a white eye!

In the first quarter, the referee really wanted to help the Spurs, but the result was: I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the score difference was heading towards 30 points, how can you ask me to help?

Popovich sat on the sidelines and said to Duncan in despair:

"Tim, it's up to you in the end!"
