Chapter 147 What does the old thief Popovich mean?
Because Larry Hughes, Jeffries and others have set out to have their new owners for physical examinations, and those who come from new deals go to New York for physical examinations, there is definitely no way to participate in this game.
So in this game, only Zhou Mubai, Garlinari, Nate Robinson, Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Tony Douglas, Al Harrington and others can play.
It can almost be concluded that the Spurs Knicks have no chance of winning against all the players, so the appeal of this game is greatly weakened.
After all, watching football games is either the excitement of the game or the reference of the game.
Such a competition will not be very exciting, nor will there be any place worth referring to.
So apart from home fans coming to watch, there are basically no audiences on the live broadcast.
Coach D'Antoni had no expectations for the outcome of this game, and his mind had already reached the upcoming capable player.
As far as he knows, Kevin Martin, Antoine Jamison, and Tyson Chandler have gone to New York for a physical examination. The preliminary report has been released and the physical examination requirements have basically passed.
In other words, in the next game, the Knicks will have a brand new lineup.
As for this game with the Spurs, it is not that he doesn't care about it, but that it is difficult to change the result. It is difficult for all the Knicks to defeat the Spurs, let alone the real remnants of the current team.
D'Antoni even suggested that Zhou Mubai take a turn for a break. After all, Zhou Mubai has played for 48 minutes in recent times, which is scary enough.
Zhou Mubai didn't mean to have a rest. The game was not burdened with much, and it could only be considered interesting and interesting. This amount of exercise can only be considered better than nothing.
Zhou Mubai is very interested in the Spurs, not only in the GDP trio, but also in the old thief Popovich.
The Spurs have been strong for so long, not only because of Duncan, but also because of this Popovich.
When he learned about tactics before, he learned a lot about Popovich. This old man is really interesting.
Through his understanding of Popovich, Zhou Mubai outlined the image of such a top master with a wide vision, an international perspective, and able to create a tactical system and combine it.
This is Popovich.
Popovich is a very stubborn person, he values chemistry over everything else - it's a double-edged sword.
Many of his stubbornness come from this.
He pursues stability. After a tactical structure is established, he rarely changes it on a large scale, but changes it through minor repairs.
It is precisely because of his stubbornness that every Spurs player can devote himself to the team, allowing many players to play their best self after coming to the Spurs.
The system he established is extremely sophisticated, from offense to defense, full of mechanical beauty. As long as the player can execute according to tactics, no matter how capable the player himself is, he can always find his own position.
This is a great coach!
Zhou Mubai is a very smart person, and smart people admire smart people.
Popovich also admires Zhou Mubai very much.
At the beginning, I followed Zhou Mubai because he was following the Lakers. The Spurs were the most conspicuous and biggest stumbling block when they were going out of the West. With Popovich's big vision, how can I not pay attention to the Lakers?
Zhou Mubai attracted Popovich's attention when the Lakers emerged.
——This is a person who influenced the situation in the west!
This is the first conclusion made by Popovich, and later developments prove this.
The Lakers with Zhou Mubai can easily win against all kinds of strong teams - that's still without Gasol.
This put Popovich in great pressure.
It is difficult for the Lakers who only Zhou Mubai to be... or a desperate existence.
Even Popovich has no confidence in defeating the Lakers.
But I didn't expect that the Lakers would destroy the Great Wall and expel Zhou Mubai from the Lakers.
It's a bit ashamed to say that the wave that destroyed the Lakers Great Wall was also one of the big players who fueled the fire.
When Popovich heard the news that the Lakers sent Zhou Mubai, his first reaction was ecstasy, and his second reaction was to strive to join the competition to grab Zhou Mubai.
However, because the Spurs have no bargaining chips, the Lakers will not set themselves up to be an invincible opponent in the West, so they can only give up.
The Lakers who lost Zhou Mubai are of course still strong players in the competition for the championship, but have lost their position as a communist.
Popovich is still paying attention to Zhou Mubai, but in fact some of them are passively paying attention - after all, no one can ignore the average triple-double record, not to mention that there are 60 large triple-doubles!
Every time I watch Zhou Mubai’s game, Popovich will have an idea - if only he can coach him!
Of course this is difficult to achieve.
But it doesn't prevent him from admiring Zhou Mubai very much.
So when Zhou Mubai came to San Antonio, Popovich took the initiative to invite Zhou Mubai to have a meal.
This incident made D'Antoni very nervous - is this old thief trying to poach?
The news even reached New York. Donny Walsh, who was supervising the physical examination in New York, flew from New York to San Antonio overnight, and even James Dolan came, which made Zhou Mubai smile bitterly.
In fact, Popovich really just asked Zhou Mubai for a meal. The two exchanged their basketball ideas and then talked about everything.
Popovich was shocked by Zhou Mubai's knowledge and wisdom. This young man was as knowledgeable as the sea and his thoughts were so mature that he could not even compare with him.
No wonder he is so wise when playing on the court!
I must work with him!
This was Popovich's idea, but he did not reveal it.
Zhou Mubai's contract is three years. When the contract expires, the Spurs may not have no chance. By then, Duncan is probably about to withdraw. Parker and Ginobili will also go down from the second line. The Spurs have enough space to accommodate Zhou Mubai!
The Spurs are the most suitable team for Zhou Mubai!
Popovich believed in this.
In fact, among the Spurs, Popovich is more than interested in Zhou Mubai.
Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker were all very interested in Zhou Mubai, so at the beginning of the game, the three of them surrounded Zhou Mubai and asked questions, and there was no so-called taciturn team style at all.
It just made James Dolan and Donny Walsh, who were sitting in the audience, look bad.
What does Popovich mean?
First, I treat myself to dinner, and then ask the disciples to show goodwill and chat. Is this going to poach in advance?
Where does this place the Knicks?
No, you must protest to the league when you go back and fine San Antonio severely to dispel their unrealistic thoughts!
The so-called punch can prevent a hundred punches from coming.
It is also a warning to those opponents who are eyeing each other!
