"Holy crap, the Spurs really lost!"

"The pitcher is a rookie and can't adapt to the playoffs... Trash media, have you seen Wang's performance?"

"At first, everyone underestimated the Kings and the Sonics. How do you feel now? Isn't it a surprise?"

…

Seeing such a result come out, it really shocked countless people's jaws. After all, not long ago, they had vowed not to be optimistic about the Sonics.

However, the reality was a loud slap in the face.

In particular, the Chinese who they least expected to overthrow the Spurs single-handedly.

"Haha, it's just a game, what's the big deal?"

"Look, wait until the next game, the Spurs will definitely teach the SuperSonics a lesson, and Tim Duncan will also tell Wang what a real superstar is!"

"It's just a game. Maybe it's just good luck. Be clear-headed. This is a series. One game can't explain anything."

…

It is obviously not an easy thing to convince someone, especially a group of people with the potential to be a bully.

If they win once, they will find the reason for luck; if they win twice, they will find the reason for their opponent...

Anyway, just one sentence, surrender and surrender, this is impossible.

People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense, not to mention, this is still fighting for a breath on the Internet.

If you can't fight in reality, you can give in; but there is nothing to be afraid of on the Internet. If you have the ability, you can crawl over the network cable and hit me!

Yes, the Internet has initially expanded to the world, and keyboard warriors have begun to appear.

Fans can refuse to admit it for the sake of one breath, but the media doesn't care so much.

No, after learning that the Spurs lost to the SuperSonics, many reporters went crazy and rushed to the scene.

What to do?

Naturally, I wanted to attend the press conference. This was big news. The defending champion was defeated!

For today's NBA playoffs, especially the first round, what other big news can compare?

Unless the Lakers lose tomorrow, the question is, is that possible?

Although the Kings are playing well this year, they are still far from threatening the Lakers.

Defeating the strong with the weak and being upset, this has always been what fans love to see.

"Greg, what do you think of Wang?"

At the press conference at Key Arena, countless media reporters gathered together and asked questions intensely.

Although the Spurs lost, everyone was obviously more concerned about Wang Hao. There was no way, this rookie was so eye-catching.

In particular, several senior media people knew very clearly what this game meant.

In addition to the victory, there is also Rookie of the Year!

Despite Wang Hao's phenomenal performance, the selection of the best rookie was not all smooth sailing.

The reason is very simple, his skin color and his nationality.

Senior basketball reporters and basketball columnists can all participate in voting for awards.

Even if you don't have the opportunity to participate, if you are in the same circle, some news will still spread.

There are not many people who know about this.

And these people have even thought of the reasons, which is that their performance in the playoffs was weak and they are not worthy of being named the Rookie of the Year.

It doesn’t matter whether the reason is valid or not, as long as it is there.

After all, as long as the media approves and the fans are not very opposed, the matter will be settled.

But no one expected that in the first game of the playoffs, Wang Hao would have such an explosive performance.

Don't talk about luck. As professional reporters, they don't believe in luck, especially in the playoffs.

If it is the regular season, there will indeed be situations where a certain player has a smooth hand today and keeps scoring goals.

But in the playoffs, almost every ball is played with full strength, and there will be no such opportunity.

At this time, the reason that some reporters had expected came to light, and it turned out that Wang Hao was more qualified to win the award.

After all, fans are not fools. You can guide public opinion, but you can't really treat everyone as fools.

"Wang, of course, he is a very good player, and as a rookie, his performance is absolutely phenomenal.

To be honest, it's hard for you to imagine that a newcomer can show himself like this on the playoff stage."

The reporter continued to ask: "So, Greg, will you specifically target a rookie for the sake of the king?"

Popovich said somewhat rudely: "Rookie? I think this word should be separated from king now.

Wang's performance has proven everything, he is the best outside player in the NBA today.

Don’t forget, he is only 19 years old, he is still growing rapidly, and his future is really exciting.”

…

Although it was indeed a bit embarrassing to be defeated by a rookie, it was just that Popovich didn't care at all.

In fact, in order to praise Wang Hao, he even belittled himself and the team. He definitely didn't care.

The reporter who was a little thoughtful saw through the intention.

Praise to kill, this is definitely praise to kill.

You know, there is only one absolute core of the Sonics, and that is Gary Payton.

This is not just the reporter's perception, the entire Sonics also thinks so, and so do Seattle fans.

But, what did Popovich say? He almost attributed all the Spurs' defeat to Wang Hao.

What does this mean? Sow discord?

Well, Popovich does mean that, as the so-called war is never tired of deceit!

Basketball games are not limited to the court, but are also battlefields outside the court.

After all, he is a well-known coach in the NBA, and his words and deeds are still very concerned by fans and media.

He praised Wang Hao so much that it is very likely that Gary Payton will have other ideas.

If this is the case, the impact will definitely be huge.

Even if Gary Payton doesn't care, as long as he can win, he doesn't care about the core or not.

Popovich doesn't suffer either.

Because only a very few people know that Popovich has a deeper purpose for doing this.

That is, Wang Hao's contract with the SuperSonics is about to expire.

If flattering him can give the Spurs a better chance of acquiring Wang Hao next year, Popovich will never be polite.

Some people may think that the Spurs already have Duncan, so do they still need Wang Hao?

Of course!

A Duncan has already made the Spurs a strong team in the NBA. What if there is another Wang Hao?

Isn’t this running towards the championship?

Perhaps some people haven't noticed that Duncan's contract with the Spurs will end this year.

Duncan is doing well with the Spurs and has a good relationship with Popovich, but who can say for sure?

In the original time and space, Duncan almost left the Spurs immediately and left Orlando to partner with Grant Hill.

Why Grant Hill and not Tracy McGrady?

Today, McGrady is just a little shrimp. If Grant Hill can stay healthy, if Duncan can join.

Maybe there is no scoring champion for Tracy McGrady. I have to say that fate is amazing.

If you think about these things now and even prepare for a rainy day, the title of Old Fox is truly well-deserved.
