Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Lian Feng was confirmed by the head coach to be the boss of the team, and this matter soon even reached the ears of the outside media.

Although this matter is not a big surprise in the eyes of everyone. For ordinary fans, based on results, Lian Feng is the most critical key to the team's victory. His data leads the league and he was selected by the media.

Regular season MVP, all of this makes his status unshakable.

And most importantly, fans love to watch Lien Feng play.

Lien Feng always uses lightning-fast dribbling to pass his opponents, and then breaks through to the inside for an amazing dunk. Who would refuse such a beautiful player?

However, reporters still couldn't help but ask Lian Feng this question before the game: "We heard that the coach confirmed your status as the team leader. Can you tell us your opinion on this matter?"

Lian Feng actually doesn't like to answer this kind of question. It gives the impression that this matter is very serious. What opinions can you have? What opinions should you have? But when dealing with the media, Lian Feng has changed.

He had to be mature enough. He thought for a while and replied: "More pressure, more responsibility, and of course more honors."

Lian Feng is no longer as excited as he was when he first entered the league. Of course, he can't say he hates it now. It's just part of the job.

There is no need to deliberately create gimmicks in the playoffs, because the playoffs themselves are gimmicks.

Therefore, Lian Feng feels that there are a lot less personal grudge-type issues.

Moreover, Lian Feng was already able to deal with reporters with ease at this time, and even when he encountered such sharp problems, he could easily resolve them.

However, Lian Feng's teammates may not be able to answer reporters' questions in a flawless manner.

For example, Bobby Jackson said without hesitation in an interview: "Who do I think is the hardest for the Spurs to deal with? This question is of course easy to answer. Who do you think I would say? Ginobili? Or Duncan? Haha,

None, I think the most difficult person to deal with is certainly... Bowen."

"Am I afraid of him? Obviously not! That guy, how should I put it, I think he is very difficult to handle, and it certainly has nothing to do with his skills, what do you think? Besides the corner three-pointer, what else does he have? He

He's just an undrafted player, isn't he? Everyone knows what I want to say."

Bobby Jackson's remarks quickly reached San Antonio.

They are preparing to fly to New Orleans. This is a privilege enjoyed by the top-ranked team in the regular season. The first two games are at home, as well as the fifth and seventh games at home, for a total of 4 home court advantages.

However, this does not make the Spurs feel weak. It is not that they have no experience in winning on the road.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Spurs, this Hornets team does not appear to be invincible.

After seeing Bobby Jackson's remarks on TV, Bowen smiled contemptuously and turned off the TV.

Of course he knows what that softie from the Hornets is talking about.

They are all blaming their own defensive moves.

Bowen was used to hearing those comments.

"That guy's methods are dirty."

"We have seen through his tricks a long time ago. He is always pushing, pulling, and squeezing people."

To be honest, he didn't care at all about those remarks.

In fact, Bowen has always believed that every player who dares to use dirty moves on the court has a strong enough heart. Because you must always face the pressure of the audience, he angrily kicked Wally in the face in 2002

, leaving a famous scene that will be remembered forever, and even received death threats at the time.

In that game in 2005, Bowen could even be so cruel to his former teammate Ray Allen that he almost ended his career. And that experience directly broke the friendship between the two.

However, he didn't care at all.

In fact, he doesn't even care about winning.

What Bowen cares about is this job and this salary.

Like many black players in the league, Bowen had a miserable childhood. His drug-addicted mother and alcohol-addicted father sold almost everything in the family. Compared with those who entered the league to pursue glory,

This guy has only one purpose, and that is to survive.

Unlike those talented guys, Bowen was a victim. In the early days of his career, he was on the bench of various teams in the league. He just wanted a stable place to live and a stable salary.

And those actions that make people angry can win these things for him.

What qualifications do those who accuse themselves have? They will never understand how afraid people who have just emerged from the abyss are to fall into the abyss again. And this fear drives Bowen to act accurately, calmly, and unhurriedly

His machinations.

Popovich did not reject this, and even entrusted himself with important responsibilities from the first day he came here.

What does this mean? Bowen will not point it out, and he even wants to thank him.

After the last practice before heading to the Hornets' home court, Popovich stopped Bowen and talked to him alone about some defensive strategies.

The rest of the team was not surprised by this.

Everyone probably knows what Popovich will say to Bowen.

Duncan just watched Bowen and Popovich walk aside expressionlessly.

And Bowen can probably guess a thing or two about what Popovich is about to say.

"Listen Bruce, next game, you know what we're going to face."

"Yes coach, I totally understand."

"The absolute core of the Hornets is the serial forward, and they have Paul and David West... We will not use wrong defensive strategies to limit the serial forward like the Mavericks, so you must take on more individual defense tasks.

!”

Bowen nodded: "Yes, I'm ready."

Popovich showed a meaningful smile and nodded: "I trust you, you have never let me down!"

Bowen also smiled, as if the head coach understood him, he also understood this legendary coach very well. You don’t need to say some words openly, as long as you understand them.

He has never doubted his defensive ability. Since joining the Spurs, he has been honing this skill that he relies on for a living.

However, with his versatility and offensive ability, no defender can pat his shoulders and say that he will be able to defend him.

Thinking of this, Bowen's eyes were a little cold.

Lian Feng flies very high, but he always falls down, right?

Bowen looked over at Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker... Their image in the league is so majestic, inspirational, and clean...

However, when a ray of light shines down, there will always be darkness, right?

It is enough for the world to sing their praises.
