Chapter 286

After kicking out the players who wanted to stay and practice, Popovich also returned to the office.

In the office, Borrego was writing with his head down, when the door opened suddenly and he stopped writing.Looking up and seeing Popovich walking in, Borrego greeted with a smile: "You are here!"

Popovich looked a little tired at this time. He didn't say a word or a word, but just nodded, which was regarded as a response to Borrego.

"call!"

After taking a few steps to his desk and sitting down, Popovich leaned completely on the back of the chair.With his eyes closed, he took a deep breath, and his tense body and nerves gradually relaxed.

Borrego was not surprised by this.You must know that with the approach of the playoffs, various preparations have made the entire Spurs team busy.As the commander of this team, Popovich has too many tasks to take into account.

In addition, Popovich's age itself is not young, coupled with the absence of the three GDP players due to injuries, the Spurs' road to the playoffs has become uncertain, and the pressure on him has increased. several times.

With the superimposition of various situations, Popovich's body has long been overloaded during this period of time.But in order not to worry the players, the old man would hide his exhaustion every time he faced them.

Borrego shook his head as he watched Popovich take a moment to rest his eyes and close his eyes. He was really worried that Popovich would not be able to bear it if he continued to work like this.

Thinking of this, Borrego got up and walked out of his office area.First go to the door and close the door, then come to Popovich's desk, reach out and put away all the documents and materials on his desk.

"what are you doing?"

At this moment, Popovich seemed to sense Borrego's movements, and suddenly opened his eyes, looking at him with those bloodshot but still energetic eyes.

Folding his arms and holding the things in his arms, Borrego said with a smile: "I will do the work and materials, and I will send you the summary tomorrow morning, so you can go back and rest!"

Hearing this, Popovich shook his head and said slowly: "You are not me, how could the result be the same? I appreciate your kindness, this"

"I have been with you for so long. Before I came to the NBA, I also worked as a coach in Europe for a period of time. In this round of the series against the Warriors, I will make changes in tactics and strategies!"

Borrego interrupted Popovich very rarely, and said very forcefully, "You should keep your energy and deal with our opponents in the next round."

Staring straight at Borrego, Popovich finally nodded after thinking about the opponent he might face in the second round.

Seeing that Popovich agreed to his proposal, Borrego was very happy. After nodding at him, he turned and walked towards his desk.

"I really hope the Nuggets can kill the Lakers!"

Closing his eyes again, Popovich couldn't help muttering to himself.

In fact, although Popovich said he attached great importance to the Warriors tactically, he actually didn't think the Warriors could cause much trouble for the team from the beginning to the end.

For a long time, Popovich was more worried about the purple and gold giants.In the past, when all the GDP was on the court, it was so difficult to play against the Lakers, but now the team is disabled.

Popovich's home is a three-story ultra-luxury villa with five bedrooms and six bathrooms, with a total area of ​​900 square meters.

Moreover, the old man who loves to drink has built a large wine cellar in his villa, which is said to store more than 3000 bottles of red wine.

At 6:50 in the evening, Yang Ke and Emma went to Popovich's house and rang the doorbell at the same time.

Emma returned to San Antonio this morning. She originally planned to take a good rest at home today, but when Yang Ke came back, she said that she was going to Popovich's house as a guest, so she followed her.

Of course, before that, Yang Ke called Popovich in advance to inquire, and after he said that there was no problem, Emma came with Yang Ke.

"Yang! Emma! Welcome, welcome!"

It was Irene Popovich who opened the door. When she saw Yang Ke and Emma, ​​she greeted them with a smile.

"Mrs. Irene, good evening."

Emma shouted with a smile.

"Mrs. Irene, good evening! Excuse me! This is a gift from me."

Yang Ke responded with a smile, and at the same time reached out and handed over the gift box in his arms.

After receiving the gift box, Irene opened it in front of Yang Ke.After Irene unwrapped the three inner and outer layers of exquisite packaging, she revealed the real core inside, a box of 9 chocolate candies.

This gift was chosen by Emma, ​​and Emma also told Yang Ke that in the United States, they pay more attention to the heart than the value of the gift.

"Oh! Great gift, thank you!"

After receiving this gift, Irene looked happy, "Come on, come in and sit down! Kawhi and the others have just arrived!"

Led by Irene, Yang Ke and Emma entered the door and soon came to the living room.

Refreshments had already been placed on the guest table, Leonard and Popovich were sitting on the sofa chatting, and Shipley was listening quietly.

"Good evening, Mr. Greg!"

Emma greeted proactively, and nodded to Leonard and Shipley at the same time.

"Yang, Emma, ​​come and sit down!"

Popovich, who heard the movement, turned around and invited Yang Ke and Emma.

Walking to the sofa, Yang Kema found a random place and sat down. As for Emma, ​​she sat beside him, but there was a gap of more than ten centimeters.

Looking at the energetic Popovich, Yang Ke said with a smile: "Coach, you are so energetic tonight!"

Leonard interjected: "Well, I know this. The coach threw all the work to Borrego today, but he was lazy."

Popovich glanced back at Leonard, and then said: "Stop spreading rumors. Also, it's not working hours, so don't call me a coach!"

"What's your name?"

"Just call me by my first name!"

"Grigg?"

"that is it."

After a few people chatted, Irene came out of the kitchen and informed them that it was time to eat.

During the dinner, Popovich perfectly showed his lively and humorous side. Every time a topic was raised, Yang Ke and others could not help but respond, actively talking about happy or unhappy past events in life.

Just as the dinner was about to end, Popovich got up and left the table as usual, took out a bottle of red wine that had been preserved for a long time from his wine cellar, and planned to come to draw a successful conclusion to today's dinner.

Opening the red wine skillfully, Popovich looked at the four young people at the table and asked, "Let's have a drink together?"

Leonard shook his head and declined politely: "Sorry, I'm only 20 years old now, and I can't drink alcohol yet."
