Chapter 1061 Holt’s Ending (Second Update!)

When Tang Tian mentioned his second choice, Popovich looked at him with wide eyes, a look of astonishment on his face.

What kind of choice is this?

But slowly, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

When he lost Tang Tian, ​​his relationship with Holt deteriorated sharply.

Now because of Leonard, if there is another big disagreement, it is likely that the situation will be the same.

In a sense, what Tang Tian said was indeed a choice.

"I know this sounds incredible at first, but it's not without precedent. Wasn't Sterling, the previous owner of the Clippers, forced to sell the team?"

Tang Tian continued.

"So if there is an exchange of interests between Holt and Methodist.healthcare and it is announced, I think he will be under a lot of pressure and it is not impossible to be forced to sell the team."

Tang Tian didn't say anything yet. Among the team owners who voted against Xiao Hua, Holt had a vote.

Xiao Hua is on pins and needles now. If something happens to Holt, he will definitely add insult to injury.

Originally, this matter did not involve Holt, Tang Tian just didn't want Popovich to be sad because of Leonard's departure.

But since Holt is involved, he doesn't mind getting involved.

Although he is now prosperous in New Orleans, it was still painful to be kicked out at the beginning.

He is not a gentleman, but he doesn't mind being a gentleman to those who kick him out.

After all, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

It has only been less than 5 years since he passed.

"What you said is just speculation, and Pete and I have known each other for more than ten years."

Popovich didn't want to do such a multiple-choice question.

"Old man, I can honestly say that I hope Holt sells the team, because I will definitely be unhappy with what he did to me.

But actually, this matter has nothing to do with me. The one who has to make the choice is you.

In fact, if you think about it, losing Leonard is nothing, he is just a player. "

Tang Tian continued.

These were basically his last words.

How Popovich chooses actually has nothing to do with him.

Popovich stands on the same line as Holt as history does, that is, history repeats itself, Leonard is just traded.

Holt can be forced to sell the team, which is good news for him.

But that's all.

Popovich said no more. He had now accepted the multiple-choice question given by Tang Tian.

But this multiple choice question is difficult.

No matter which choice you make, it will be a struggle.

Tang Tian left Popovich to have lunch.

After lunch, Popovich returned to San Antonio.

Before leaving, he didn't make a choice, or no one knew whether he would make a choice.

After four days of offseason, the Pelicans continue to sit at home to face the Jazz.

The Jazz's Mitchell performed vigorously and showed the potential of the best rookie, which also illustrates a truth.

If you don't know what to choose at the 13th pick, if you choose a 1.9-meter guard, you will either suffer a loss or be fooled.

Kobe at the time, Booker of the Bulls, and Mitchell now are all very good examples.

However, Mitchell, like Rozier, is still too immature and his performance against the Pelicans was dismal.

In addition, the Jazz's own offensive strength is not strong, and there is no chance against the Pelicans.

The Pelicans lightly abused their opponents 116-76, extending their winning streak to 35 games.

The Pelicans' winning streak continues, and so does the despair among fans.

Time has come to January before we know it.

The Pelicans have been playing against strong teams in the past two months, but this month the schedule has become easier and they have begun to play against weak teams.

Kings, Timberwolves, 76ers, Wizards, Grizzlies, these are all teams that give away points.

The Pelicans also continued to make great progress, extending their winning streak to 40 games.

This is really about running for 82 consecutive victories!

Time came to mid-January, and the Pelicans faced the Trail Blazers at home.

If they can continue to win the game, the Pelicans will have a complete winning record halfway through the schedule, which sounds like a god-like record.

Tang Tian missed this game because Towns had a fever, but the other three brothers were there.

The Trail Blazers are not considered a super team in the Western Conference. In the eyes of fans, there is no big problem for the Pelicans to win this game.

However, the result of this seemingly ordinary game surprised many people.

Lillard and McCrum were both hot and explosive in this game.

The former made 15 of 20 shots from the field, and the latter made 11 of 16 shots. The two made a combined 12 three-pointers.

Lillard made a lucky logo three-pointer at the last moment to kill the Pelicans.

The Trail Blazers turned out to be the team that ended the Pelicans' winning streak!

This is really unexpected.

However, Tang Tian's absence and the superb performance of the two guns, this result is not too surprising.

It can only be said that everything has caught up with the Trail Blazers.

If Tang Tian comes back, or if the two teams play again, the Trail Blazers will lose at least nine out of ten games.

But the NBA is such a place, where miracles happen.

Lillard and McCrum also boosted their morale with this victory.

In the past, Walker in the East and Lillard in the West were both frequent All-Stars. They were also regarded as rare stars with the style of the last century, one person, one city.

Now that Walker has switched to the Pelicans, Lillard is even more different.

Just as the fans were cheering for the Trail Blazers' double guns, something happened in the West that attracted everyone's attention.

According to local Spurs reporters, there was an illegal exchange of benefits between Holt and the local medical organization Methodist.healthcare.

This reporter secretly collected a lot of evidence and exposed it all at once.

It's not just the Leonard incident that is causing a stir right now.

Green's groin strain last year was diagnosed as a sprain, and Metu's wrist fracture was also diagnosed as a sprain...

This series of events all occurred after the Spurs changed their cooperative medical institutions two years ago.

One fact that is very intuitive after the exposure of these evidences is that Holt, as the team owner, sacrificed the health of the players for personal gain.

This is a very serious matter, and even related to the credibility of the Spurs.

For a time, doubts about team owner Holt reached an unprecedented peak.

Especially the San Antonio fans, who almost went to burn down Holt's estate.

They were still resentful of Holt's insistence on letting Tang Tian go, and now there was an incident at a medical institution.

In addition, the team struggled after losing Leonard this season.

All the negative emotions accumulated together and they completely exploded.

"Get Holt out of San Antonio."

This sentence has become a unified slogan for fans.

And this quickly received a response from the league.

Xiao Hua is annoyed now that Holt has done something like this again.

You must know that this loss is not only the credibility of the Spurs, but also the league's.

He was not polite to the team owner who opposed his comeback, and soon asked Holt to sell the team from the perspective of the league.
