While Popovich was frantically looking for trouble with Wayne, the Spurs were taken advantage of by the SuperSonics.

On the Spurs' side, the situation at the beginning was actually similar to that of the Pacers.

They first won both home games, beating the SuperSonics 2-0.

In the first game, Bowen attacked Ray Allen, who only played 13 minutes before being sent off.

Although Ray Allen returned in the second game, his ankle was still injured.

It is precisely because of this that Popovich has the leisure to disturb the muddy waters in the east and meddle in Wayne's business.

Who knew that before the muddy waters were stirred up, a fire broke out in the backyard.

In Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals, the Spurs killed themselves with a five-shooter in the last 1 minute and 13 seconds of the game.

The total score of this game was 92 to 91, and the SuperSonics narrowly defeated the Spurs by 1 point.

In other words, if there is an accident in the Spurs' five last-minute strikes, the SuperSonics will not be able to win this game.

What else can I say? It’s all about fate!

However, after losing this game, Popovich still wasn't too worried.

Because Lewis was seriously injured in this game, it is very likely that he will be directly reimbursed for the season.

As the Sonics' second scoring point behind Junzi Lei, Lewis's importance to Seattle is self-evident.

Without such a general, and with Ray Allen playing injured again, wouldn't the Spurs' abuse of the Sonics be like abusing their son?

Popovich originally thought that the Spurs would regroup in Game 4 like the Pacers, return to San Antonio with match point, and then naturally win Game 5 and advance easily.

However, in Game 4 in Seattle, the Spurs were photographed against the wall by the explosive Ray Allen.

The kind that can't even be buckled off.

"The game is over, the Seattle SuperSonics played a very efficient offense! When Lewis fell, when everyone thought they were finished.

Ray Allen, a member of the 1996 golden generation, used his outstanding performance to tell the Spurs - the series is not over yet! You'd better turn your attention back from the Eastern Conference!

Your opponent is not Wei, but me!"

At the Key Arena in Seattle, the on-site commentator yelled wildly.

Behind him were nearly 20,000 fans cheering for that magical number 34.

He was fouled in the first game and played injured in the next three games.

But so what?

He can also solve you!

What fan wouldn’t love such a leading star?

Popovich looked at the court, his eyes dull.

What the hell is this fight about!?

Well, who told him to ignore the opponent in front of him?

101 to 89, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Spurs at home and tenaciously tied the series score at 2-2!

Ray Allen scored 32 points today. Except for 5 free throws, they were all scored in sports games.

As a defender, Ray Allen shot 60%, which is higher than Duncan!

In this game, in addition to Junzilei's outstanding performance, the Spurs also felt like they were setting themselves on fire.

Because today, except for Duncan, the other players on the Spurs' team didn't even notice their shooting percentages.

Parker was 5 of 13, Bowen was 1 of 5, Barry Sr. was 1 of 4, and Ginobili was slightly better, but only 4 of 10.

In the end, the Spurs' team shot only 41.7%.

With this hit rate, who will spoil you?

Perhaps it was Popovich's performance that made the Spurs players feel that they could already focus on the conference finals or even the finals.

Therefore, facing the SuperSonics, an opponent "destined to win", I didn't pay too much attention.

As a result, they paid a heavy price.

Now 2-2 means that when the Pacers want to play the promotion game at home, the Spurs can only compete with the SuperSonics for Tianwang Mountain.

This time, Popovich suddenly lost his dignity.

At the press conference, he finally stopped blaming Wayne from the moral high ground.

Nonsense, you can't even protect yourself, why do you still care about Dark Wayne?

But Popovich is not black, so someone will come to criticize him.

At the SuperSonics' press conference, Ray Allen gave Popovich and the Spurs a killer shot!

"Bruce Bowen, or even Popovich, is not a respectable opponent in my opinion.

I have long seen through Bowen's tricks. He is always pushing people, pulling people, and squeezing people. And that damn thing is always ready to step on your feet.

In the first game, I dribbled the ball into the penalty area twice. He used the same cheap move to pull me twice. The second time he added a black foot, and I sprained my ankle.

As for Coach Popovich, he acquiesced in Bowen's approach and openly enjoyed the benefits brought to them by Bowen's dirty methods.

They thought this was going to bring me down? I said, f**k it!"

As we all know, Ray Allen is not the kind of black player who was born at the bottom. He received a good education and did not grow up in a chaotic neighborhood.

So most of the time, Ray Allen is polite.

He rarely makes such offensive remarks. Even the last time he publicly dismissed Kobe, Ray Allen was not so excited.

In fact, if he was stepped on by someone else, Ray Allen might not be so angry.

But Bruce Bowen and he were old friends, and the two had a very good personal relationship before.

The two families have known each other for a long time. When Bowen wanted to return to the NBA, Ray Allen took him to train together.

I was loyal to my friends, but you got up and turned against me. How can such a thing happen in the world?

Even a dog will wag its tail at you if you treat it well.

This feeling of being tricked by a friend made Ray Allen very hurt.

In the first round of the playoffs, Ray Allen averaged 32.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 5 games. He also shot 51.4% from the field and 45.2% from the three-point range. It was simply amazing.

It is an existence without solution.

However, after being eliminated in the second round, Ray Allen's personal condition, which he played with an injury, obviously declined a lot.

What made him most angry was not only Bowen's foul play, but also Popovich's!

While he was condoning players doing such dirty things, he was also righteously accusing Wayne!

You can always be a human being!

Is it okay to have some facial expressions at such an old age!?

To be honest, it is understandable for Ray Allen that the head coach indulges his players.

In competitive sports, victory comes first.

But damn, if you take advantage, just shut up.

While taking advantage of others, you must also stand on the moral high ground to accuse others.

What qualifications do you have?

Isn’t this both true and true!

Ray Allen really can't stand it.

So today, he used basketball to get revenge on the Spurs.

And not only that, he now wants to publicly take sides!

Although he has no personal relationship with Wayne, he does not have a good impression of Wayne.

To put it bluntly, in Ray Allen's view, Wayne is not a good person.

But like Carter, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Popovich wants to cause trouble?

Then let's make a big fuss!

"Are you saying that Bowen intentionally caused you to be injured?" The reporters were all in high spirits. Today's press conference is about to start!

The war of beeping has come to Seattle!

"The whole world knows that Bowen did it on purpose, only Popovich was playing dumb.

He has been accusing Wei recently, but he is completely unqualified.

The prerequisite for accusing others of being immoral is that you must at least be moral.

Craig Popovich himself is not a good person, and he still talks about others? In my opinion, this is even more shameless behavior!
