"What do you mean?"
"Think about it! Duncan played 20 points even when he was sick. Logically, He Xi Meng should have praised Duncan's contribution to the team at the risk of his health, like Popovich. Why would he be dissatisfied?"
"Damn it! The more you say it, the more it makes sense!"
"Spurs internal conflict, two main players unhappy with each other!"
"Duncan faked illness and didn't try his best, Xi Meng angrily refutes at press conference!"
...
"Hey, hey, hey! Aren't you exaggerating, speculating, slandering, and sowing discord by writing like this?"
"We write what the readers want to read! If you don't like it, let them sue me..."
When reporters go rogue, even lawyers have to back down.
Duncan and He Xi Meng would certainly not sue the reporters, but their families became a little uneasy after seeing the reports.
"Tim, tell me honestly, did Xi Meng bully you and want to steal your f/
Even on the plane to New Jersey, Popovich couldn't help but find the two of them for a private chat, wanting to confirm if their friendship had soured.
After repeated confirmations, Popovich finally understood that it was those unscrupulous reporters at work: "I want to rip these guys' mouths to shreds..."

Duncan had decided that he would never pretend to be sick again!
My goodness, he just wanted to fake being sick and slack off a little, and he almost broke up the team...
It's better not to do such things in the future! If you want to be lazy, talk to the coach honestly, or discuss it with He Xi Meng.
This storm almost escalated.
"Alright! In this game, I hope you and Xi Meng can both give your all and play with great chemistry to dispel the outside rumors..."
Popovich, rarely, gave He Xi Meng and Duncan a stern order to fight with all their might!
These past two days, no less than twenty general managers from around the league had called Popovich, asking who he wanted to sell? They were willing to negotiate whether it was to sell Duncan or He Xi Meng. They said they would be flexible with the trade package, and the Spurs could name their price...
The most outrageous thing was that the general manager of the Nets, their opponent in the finals, had also called him. What was that supposed to mean?
As soon as Popovich confirmed that there were no conflicts between his two main players, he became enraged!
When a king rages, corpses litter the land!
When Pop rages, the Nets are in danger!
