Li Ang and the rest of the Suns, Popovich of course chose the latter.

It would rather let others vote than let Li Ang do whatever he wants.

So in the past two days, Popovich has been working hard to rehearse the tactics of double-team defense.

Using fill-ups and pinchs, the Spurs will be able to meet at least two people in defense no matter where Li Ang goes.

Popovich had to shift the team's defensive focus to Li Ang.

Of course, in contrast, Popovich also asked everyone to actively fill in the seats.

If Li Ang passes the ball, the double-teamer must immediately return to his opponent.

Such a defensive strategy will undoubtedly increase the consumption of Spurs players.

But the Spurs players did not complain because they knew very well that the battle of Tianwangshan was their last chance.

If the Suns get the match point, they will definitely not let the Spurs live one more game.

Even if you really have to be exhausted, the Spurs players have to fight for the King of Heaven.

On the afternoon before the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Spurs players were still practicing defensive tactics.

Kidd is particularly serious. Although Aki seems to be used to taking the blame, he is the first point guard in the league and earns an annual salary of 14 million yuan. Aki also has self-esteem.

He doesn't want to be stabbed by others every day.

He knew that the Spurs boss stole batteries, no, it was really not easy to sell tractors to support himself.

So, Kidd wanted to prove his worth in this round of the series.

Seeing Kidd so seriously on the training ground, the old thief Vic was very pleased.

He firmly believed that Kidd was the most correct person.

After the afternoon training, Popovich returned to the hotel and felt dizzy.

Originally, Popovich had always had a good body. Duncan did all kinds of human confusing behaviors on the training ground every day, and Popovich's blood pressure did not respond.

But since he had a dispute with Li Ang, Popovich's blood pressure has grown higher than Yao Ming.

Now, before the game started, Popovich began to faint.

At this moment, the door of Popovich's room was knocked.

The old thief opened the door and saw that it was Tony Parker.

Due to the problem of defensive ability, Parker's playing time in the playoffs was reduced again and again.

Because there was not enough playing time, Parker failed to show his scoring ability in the playoffs.

When Popovich saw Parker, his head hurt even more because he knew Parker must be coming to talk about the appearance time: "Is it necessary to be now, Tony."

"Uh... Ning knows what I'm going to say?"

"I know if you lift your skirt or not, Tony, you are still young, you are only 22 years old."

“It’s 23.”

"You are very young at the age of 23. You still have to continue to hone your skills. You still have a lot of time! Be patient with Tony, wait for Kidd to retreat, isn't this core master's position also yours? Duncan was only in the first grade when he was 23 years old!

So, we will talk about playing time next season, is it OK?"

Popovich is really annoyed, and Li Ang is so annoyed enough. He really has no intention of dealing with the matters in the team.

"Coach, I think you may have misunderstood. I'm not here to talk to Ning about playing time."

"Yes, you can think so, coach, I'm very happy..."

"I'm here to talk to Ning about leaving the team this summer."

Popovich suddenly froze: "Wata, what are the squids saying?"

"Coach, I have been thinking about it for a long time. First of all, I thank the boss for selling tractors day and night for raising me, thank the coach for cultivating, thank Kidd for teaching me to shoot, thank Duncan for teaching me to the windmill, thank you..."

"Fast forward directly to the focus, I don't like watching the plot." The old thief waved his hand.

"Oh, OK. I mean, I hope to develop better, I want to leave!"

Parker has been playing for so long with the Spurs, and he is really fed up.

The Spurs are not unfairly renewing Parker's contract, but because they have already raised two maximum-paid players, the Spurs can no longer offer the price to Parker.

Parker didn't want to keep the Spurs, but he also wanted to make more money.

So, he really wanted to visit outside San Antonio.

Parker wanted to leave for a day or two, but the reason he raised it at this critical moment... Of course, it was not because he wanted to deliberately get angry with Popovich before the war.

But his agent Steve Hugman received news that in the latest round of labor-management negotiations, the new rule of "amnesty clause" has been initially passed.

To put it simply, the so-called amnesty clause can be laid off a certain player in the team without taking the salary cap.

As we all know, layoffs in the NBA are not like workers who lay off 996, and the boss will let you get out with a wave of his hand.

In the NBA, you need to pay for layoffs. If the player signs a guaranteed contract with the team, then the team still needs to pay the remaining salary after the team lays off the player.

What's even more fucking is that the player's salary cap will still be counted in the team's salary space.

This annoys the teams with junk contracts.

Such players cannot play the ball, but they get a lot of salary, which makes the team unable to strengthen.

To solve this problem, the league and team owners have planned to add amnesty clauses in the new labor-management agreement negotiations.

Each team has an opportunity to use the amnesty clause every season, which allows the team to directly cut it without the consent of the player. Although the salary of the player still needs to be paid, the salary of the player will no longer occupy the team's salary.

Teams who have made room can avoid luxury taxes or use the free space to strengthen them.

It is precisely because this clause has been initially approved that it is foreseeable that there may be some teams that originally had no salary space this summer who suddenly have enough salary space to sign Parker!

So, Steve Hueman, who has a keen sense of smell, told Parker to inform the Spurs that he wanted to leave the team in the summer!

For Parker, this is a great opportunity to find a good next home.

Staying with the Spurs, playing time cannot be guaranteed, and the salary is still low.

Unless Heaman's brain blooms like Bowen, he won't let Parker stay in the Spurs even if he beats him to death.

As for Parker's choice this summer, there are just too many.

Although many people speculate that once the amnesty clause is issued, the first one to be pardoned will be Alan Houston, the Knicks's who have an annual salary of 17 million, has only played 20 games this season.

But in fact, after this clause was initially approved, Cuban in Dallas was the most excited.

No one knows who he wants to pardon who falls behind. There are too many stars in the Mavericks.

There are many people like Cuban, and many teams finally no longer have to endure the torture of garbage contracts.

Knicks, Mavericks, Lakers, Trail Blazers...

Against this background, Hugman believes that Parker has the opportunity to find a next player who can play the main player and compete for the championship!

The situation in the league is likely to change again!

Popovich looked at Parker's firm expression and cursed quietly.
Chapter completed!
