On June 2, local time in the United States, the NBA Finals officially started.

However, before the finals started, the Spurs players were in a bad mood, especially head coach Popovich. Those who didn't know about the old face thought it was a skinny eggplant.

Popovich is really regretful now, regretting that he had to talk too much and pretend to be a pussy when he was interviewed by the media before the game.

As Yang Fan said what he said in front of the media, Popovich only felt a thunder sound in his mind.

Popovich couldn't listen to the comfort of others, and Popovich only knew that this year's Spurs were completely finished.

Popovich has no doubt that the Wizards are capable of playing the biggest score difference in the finals in this round of the series.

The difference is whether Yang Fan is willing to really break up and play such a shameful score on the Spurs.

Popovich didn't know what Yang Fan thought before, but what Popovich knew was that now Yang Fan must be planning to draw the biggest score difference in history.

The reason is that Popovich pretends to be too much!

If Popovich was confident that the Spurs' excellent defensive ability would ensure that the team would not lose too badly in the game through their excellent defensive abilities.

So this season, Popovich has no confidence in watching this Wizards who have won 77 wins.

Even though the overall lineup of the Wizards has not changed much compared to the previous two seasons, the Wizards' cooperation on the court has become perfect.

Players like Paul George are gradually reaching their peak, and coupled with the Wizards' historical lineup depth, this makes Popovich unable to see any hope of winning.

Popovich had already thought that even if he couldn't win this series, it was common sense. As long as the loss was not ugly, the Spurs were still the strongest team in the league today except the Wizards.

But now Yang Fan suddenly spoke out that he should take this round of series seriously, and said that he would use the best side of the Wizards to fight the Spurs, which made Popovich's heart feel half-hearted.

If it weren't for the occasion, Popovich would definitely shout loudly: "I just said it casually!"

Before the game, neither Yang Fan nor Popovich gave any special advice to the players.

This year marks the third consecutive year that the Wizards and the Spurs met in the Finals, and the lineups of the Spurs and Wizards have not changed much in the past two years.

Simply put, the two teams are already very familiar with each other and there is no need to give special advice before the game.

But before the game started, Popovich looked at the Wizards with his eyes many times, his whole face hesitant and his steps were exaggerated.

Obviously, I had something in my heart to tell Yang Fan.

But Yang Fan, who knew all this, directly ignored Popovich's gaze and sat on the sidelines talking and laughing with assistant coach Spo, eating oranges and drinking a sip of Coke. Those who didn't know thought that these two people were here for vacation.

As for Popovich's words, Yang Fan was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

Originally, Yang Fan couldn't find a reason to beat the Spurs openly, but Popovich insisted on pretending before the game, so Yang Fan naturally gave him an unforgettable memory of the finals as he wished.

After the game started, both sides still maintained their most regular style of play, but the Wizards obviously had to focus a lot on their competitive attitude in this game.

The Wizards players have always been doing their best on the court, and they still haven't relaxed while the lineup and score are leading. The defense against the Spurs is like a mad dog.

The offensive end Wizards are also very active in tactical running. Even Paul George, the MVP in the regular season, actively runs, and directly changed from a lazy attitude of the first two rounds of the series to an MVP-level "permanent motionless machine without the ball"!

In the whole first quarter, the Wizards who went all out clearly made the Spurs unable to withstand it, even though the Spurs are one of the best defense teams in the league today.

But in front of this Wizards in the NBA history, the Spurs' defense is at most a little stronger than Plastic. Except for Duncan, this point that can still be confronted when facing Aldridge, all other points were played by the Wizards.

Especially Parker, the "French sports car" who was crazy about education in the past two years, was simply a scumbag by Wall in this game.

Two years ago, because Wall had just entered the league not long ago, his skills and experience in all aspects were very immature, so he was naturally suppressed by Tony Parker on the stage of the finals.

However, as Wall gradually reached its peak, Parker is now slow in his pace, while Wall is in a great year of a player, and the state between the two has undergone a drastic change.

This allowed Wall to seize the opportunity and do his best this year as soon as he hit the Spurs, especially during the Christmas war, which directly blasted the sports car into "Charley".

Now that the two met again in the finals, Wall naturally would not miss this opportunity.

What should I forgive others? Wall only knows that Parker has been humiliating himself a lot in the past two years, so now that he has the upper hand, he must step on Parker and never get up.

At the end of the first quarter, with the outstanding individual performance of John Wall and Paul George, the Wizards led the Spurs 11 points to finish the game.

In the second quarter rotation stage, this stage was originally Popovich's favorite game time.

The Spurs have the best lineup depth in the league, and Popovich is famous for using substitutes, so the Spurs can often gain an advantage during this period when facing other teams.

Now that he faced the wizards, the sad face on Popovich's face has never diminished, especially during this period he once liked the most, Popovich was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Because this Wizards is simply a bug, looking around, the players on the bench have the ability to start the game in other teams.

And not long ago, some fans calculated online that if the contracts of the Wizards expire in the same year, how much does the Wizards have to pay to retain this group of lineups?

Finally, after the fans calculated, the fans found that this was not a matter of money or not, because it was not something that people did at all!!

In the second quarter, the Wizards quickly increased the score to 20 points with their outstanding lineup depth.

Seeing this situation on the court, Popovich had no way to stop the Wizards except for helpless sighing off the court.

It’s not that Popovich wanted to give up the game so early, but Popovich had no choice.

Popovich tried all the methods he could think of, but the final result still made Popovich feel heartbroken.

This Wizards seems to be a team without weaknesses, and even Popovich feels that no team in NBA history can compare with the Wizards this season.

Even the Celtics, who achieved eight consecutive championships back then, is definitely not as troublesome as this Wizards today.

At the end of the half-time game, the Wizards had widened the gap to 27 points.

"Good job, guys, we will continue to maintain this fighting spirit in the second half. Even if the opponent sent a garbage lineup in the fourth quarter, we still have to do our best."

"That old guy Greg actually spoke wildly before the game, so we must teach him an unforgettable lesson."

"Our goal in this game is to have the largest score difference in the finals of 42 points!"

"Of course, if this game cannot be achieved, we still have a chance next time, but I hope the team can win more than 42 points in every game!" In the locker room, looking at the relaxed and comfortable Wizards in front of him, Yang Fan said with a smile.

When they returned from the second half, the Wizards became more and more braver in the battle, and their energy seemed to be even more excited than the first half.

On the other hand, the Spurs were led by nearly 30 points in the first half, which made the Spurs not have the intention to resist any more.

Even now Popovich just wants the game to enter garbage time quickly, and then both sides end the game in a harmonious manner, and don’t let yourself lose too embarrassedly.

But the idea is full, but the reality is very skinny.

As Popovich gave up his struggle and directly took down all the main players and unilaterally announced that the game had entered garbage time, the Wizards seemed indifferent, as if they had not received any signal from the Spurs surrender.

Yang Fan sat off the court and kept talking and laughing with the assistant coach beside him, watching the game jokingly while eating oranges. Popovich felt a thrill in his heart when he watched this scene.

For some reason, Popovich always had an ominous premonition, but under the absolute gap in strength, Popovich could only look at Yang Fan with begging eyes, hoping that Yang Fan could receive the signal of surrender from him.

It's just a pity that Yang Fan, who was sitting on the sidelines, ate, laughed, drank, and slept, but he didn't look at the Spurs.

Popovich's whole heart completely cooled down, because Popovich knew that he had really made trouble this time!!

In the entire second half, the Wizards were as excited as if they were hit by chicken blood. They not only tried their best to defend on the defensive end, but also made a large number of three-pointers on the offensive end.

The key is that the Wizards not only make decisive shots from outside the three-point line, but the basketball automatically aims at the basket like a navigation installed. Popovich's right eyelid can't help but jump straight, as if something big is going to happen today.

"Dou~"

As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Popovich sat on the sidelines as if he had grown ten years old in an instant. Not only was there no hope in his eyes, but even the emotion of despair could not be reflected.

That's right, the Wizards beat the Spurs in the finals with 48 points!!

48 points not only broke the finals score difference set by the Bulls and Jazz that year, but also increased the record by 6 points.

And from now on, the Spurs have been completely nailed to the pillar of historical shame. If nothing unexpected happens, this record will be difficult to break in the future.

After this battle, the Spurs were the one who completely confirmed the record of the largest score difference in the finals.

But the Spurs are not the one who scores the record, but the one who is standing at attention and being beaten...

After the game, Spurs head coach Popovich did not attend the post-match press conference, but asked the assistant coach to take Duncan and others to go.

This situation rarely happens in NBA history. After all, this is the stage of the finals, and few coaches will refuse to attend post-match press conferences, even if the losing side.

It is not difficult to see from Popovich's actions that Popovich is currently in a despair, or the word "despair" is no longer enough to describe Popovich's mood.

If it was just a loss to the Wizards in the finals, then Popovich would not be frustrated, after all, this kind of thing has happened for two consecutive years.

But losing to the Wizards and losing to the Wizards for 48 points are completely different concepts, and this is still on the stage of the finals, not the regular season of playing and playing.

This made Popovich, who was strong in his heart, faced a direct collapse, and even had the idea of ​​retiring early for the first time.

And when this idea flashed in my mind, it seemed as if a demonic sound was urging Popovich.

There is no way, Popovich can no longer see any hope in the NBA. In Popovich's opinion, everything Yang Fan does is no longer a coach, but a "champion collector".

If the ending is doomed to fail, then Popovich would rather retire early, at least in this way, he would not have to face the devil Yang Fan again!!

……………………

In the next three games, the Spurs were already disheartened, and Popovich sat on the sidelines more like a puppet with a soul lost.

This situation also led to the Spurs' players not willing to fight at all. They just symbolically deal with the game on the court. It seems that they only hope that this round of series will end soon.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Fan did two good things in this round of series.

The first good thing is naturally satisfying Popovich's wish, allowing Popovich to personally witness the miracle in this round of the series!

The second good thing is that Duncan and Leonard were cured at the same time.

As we all know, Duncan and Leonard are famous for their facial paralysis, and there is no sign of moodiness on their faces.

However, in this round of the series, Duncan and Leonard were frowning and completely lost their usual indifference.
