Chapter 375 Duncan's Last Game
Bruce was a little disappointed, no matter what the deal would look like in the end, he would inevitably feel a little sorry for Carter!
Even though he showed a bit of hostility in the salary and other issues before, after all, he was Bruce's favorite player at the beginning!
However, Duncan's value is obviously better than Carter's. Whether it is in terms of competitive state or physical maintenance, Duncan is far superior!
Originally, he wasn't going to trade Duncan, and some just had some reinforcements for the lineup!
However, when Popovich had slightly stimulating words, he couldn't help churning in his mind, the idea of bringing Duncan into the Warriors!
The only thing that worries Bruce is Duncan's attitude. As we all know, Duncan told everyone a long time ago that he likes the power forward position and enjoys it very much. He even made it clear that he would not appear at the center forward position!
With this factor, coupled with Duncan's feelings for the Spurs, Bruce is really tangled in his heart!
"Since we have already contacted you, everything depends on God's will!" Bruce murmured in a low voice, and then turned on the TV in the office!
On February 2, on Valentine's Day in the West, there will be a total of six games in the league, one of which is the game between the Spurs and the Clippers!
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Staples Center, I am XX!!"
The commentator's voice brought Bruce back to his senses, and he quickly looked at the players on both sides who were about to walk out of the player tunnel on the TV!
"I hope Duncan will not be affected!"
Even though the Clippers are well-known underdogs in the league, after Brand's rise, they have clearly seen their bright future!
As everyone said, there is no weak team in the NBA. If you want to win, then use your own efforts to get it!
On the TV, I don't know if it was caused by yesterday's transaction. When the camera was aimed at the Spurs' rest area, Popovich looked extremely weird.
"If it were me, I would have this expression too!" Bruce looked at with some emotion, and he had a personal experience of Popovich's mood!
In the Staples Arena, Duncan looked at his teammates one by one. When he saw Robinson who was still full of fighting spirit, he couldn't help showing a strong apology on his face!
He still remembered the agreement between the two, but under the impact of reality, he could not help but feel the essence of this alliance and a trace of helplessness!
Robinson looked at his brother, Duncan, with a smile. Seeing the hesitation on his face, he couldn't help being curious!
"Tim, is something going on?"
Hearing Robinson's question suddenly, even Duncan, who has a degree in psychology, inevitably showed a trace of obvious mood swings on his face!
"I."
Just as Duncan was about to say something, Popovich over there suddenly said: "Tonight's game, we need to create more scoring opportunities for Tim. He is our hero, forever!!"
Popovich's words made other players suddenly feel surprised, especially his slightly sad tone, which made them feel a little unusual!
Robinson was taken aback for a moment, and a very bad feeling suddenly appeared in his heart!
"drop!!"
The whistle in the stadium made the strange atmosphere of the Spurs suddenly dissipate, and with the appearance of the main players, Duncan took a last look at the teammates behind him and the four brothers in front, who might not play together for a long time, With inexplicable sadness, he murmured in a low voice: "Sorry, guys!"
Bruce sat quietly in the office, watching Duncan on TV who seemed to have a trace of reluctance all over him, especially his performance on the offensive end, which made him feel a little bit unbearable!
Since the start of the game, Duncan's offensive performance can only be described as mediocre. If it weren't for his stability in rebounding and shooting, I'm afraid his performance can only be described as poor!
Duncan's disappointing performance made Robinson's uneasiness even stronger. He had never seen Duncan so emotional, and he never thought that Duncan would play such a bad performance in the game!
When the two stood together, Robinson asked a little anxiously: "Tim, did something happen?"
"Sorry, David!!" Duncan said in a low voice, and then went to the other side. He wanted to use a victory as a final gift to the Spurs!
Throughout the first half, although Duncan's performance on the offensive end was a bit abnormal, his power on the defensive end was still extremely powerful!
Elton Brand, who played against him, played as many as 20 minutes in the first half, and he only scored a poor 3 points in Duncan's defense. If he hadn't grabbed 7 Rebounds, his performance can only be described as immature!
Back in the locker room, the atmosphere in the Spurs became a bit dignified. Popovich stopped yelling at them before, but sat alone on the coach's bench with a lonely expression.
His expression and Duncan's sudden silence made everyone feel extremely dignified!
When Robinson couldn't bear to say something at first, Duncan who was sitting with him suddenly stood up!
And seeing Duncan's figure, everyone looked over subconsciously!
"Is it still decided?" Popovich looked as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years. When he saw Duncan's actions, he felt as if his relatives had left!
"Hehe, sorry guys!" Duncan smiled and looked at these teammates who had struggled with him for many years. Even though a group of players had already left, he couldn't help showing a little excitement when he remembered the experience of struggling together before: "We have had It was an exciting experience, and there were moments that were touching, we rushed to the trophy that symbolizes glory together, even if we fell down again and again, no one regarded us as a weak team!"
Duncan's words were particularly loud in the slightly empty locker room, and everyone suddenly felt a trace of reluctance and a trace of parting in his words!
Looking around, Duncan waved his hand wryly when veteran Danny Ferry was about to speak: "However, now I'm leaving you guys, I'm leaving this great city and this exciting team!! "
"boom!!!"
Duncan's words suddenly made everyone feel as if they were struck by lightning. Everyone looked at Duncan who was still smiling wryly in shock. No one could imagine what it would be like to leave the Spurs!
Robinson stood up suddenly in disbelief, looking at Duncan with a bitter face, his eyes were wide open as if confirming!
"That's right, I'm leaving!!" After Duncan said this to Robinson, he instantly felt a great sense of powerlessness!
Looking at Duncan who sat silently, Robinson quickly came to Popovich like an angry lion: "Why!!!"
Looking at the angry Robinson in front of him, Popovich said weakly: "Why?? For the continuation of this team, and for the large number of high-quality chips in Bruce's hands!!!"
"boom!!"
Robinson suddenly felt like lightning flashed across his mind, and stood speechless and shocked.
After a while, Robinson suddenly said in a panic: "No, no, Greg, I will play for two more years. Really, I will continue to play for the team, please!!!"
"It's useless, David, please calm down!!!" Popovich finally got angry, making the decision to trade Duncan would be a hugely difficult move for him, and now he suddenly heard Robinson say so If he didn't calm down, he couldn't help but glared at him angrily: "Can you go back to five years ago?"
"I..." Robinson smiled miserably. He knew his competitive ability, and he also knew that he would never be able to return to the past.
Looking at Popovich numbly, Robinson turned around and smiled miserably at Duncan like a ball suddenly deflated: "Tim, Bruce is a good guy, and the Warriors are also a very good home for you. It is good to be able to fight side by side with you." A few years of experience will be treasured forever in my life, brother, bless you!!!”
Robinson's words seemed to go straight to the depths of his heart, and they never dissipated in the locker room for a long time!
"Brother, I didn't fulfill the agreement between us, sorry!" Duncan walked towards Robinson step by step, and then the two embraced tightly!
The appearance of the two made all the Spurs players deeply feel the strong friendship between the two!
Robinson's previous panic and final calm blessing made everyone silent to send blessings to the two!
For a moment, all the players in the locker room applauded the two of them!
There are blessings for Duncan's imminent departure, and infinite respect for Robinson who gave his entire career to the Spurs!
"Tim, we will miss you!" Antonio Daniels hugged Duncan with reluctance and a trace of water in his eyes!
"Haha man, hope next time you come back to the Spurs, we can kick your ass hard!!" Stephen Jackson used his crude way to punch Duncan in the chest hard!
"Tim, the Warriors are a strong team. With you joining, they will truly reach the championship level!" Danny Ferry hugged gently, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: " But, the Spurs will be the strongest!!"
Duncan was moved one by one and hugged these teammates who were about to leave. Looking at the familiar faces, he deeply imprinted them in the deepest part of his mind!
"Having such strong teammates like you is the happiest thing in my life!!" Duncan said solemnly to everyone, and then even under the urging of the arena staff, he changed his previous sentimentality, and for the first time on his face A fierce look appeared: "Let's kill this team and blow them up!!!"
"Kill them!!!"
At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs players seemed to have suddenly turned into Saiyans. Whether it was on the offensive end or the defensive end, under the leadership of Duncan and Robinson, they were like a group of omnipotent masters, wantonly ravaging the unknown. The Clippers! !
When the Spurs finally slaughtered the Clippers with a score of 120:95 in this game, all fans watching the game felt the team's powerful combat power!
Watching the changes of the Spurs on TV, Bruce jumped up excitedly: "YES!!!!"
