The reason why Stephen was able to understand Popovich's intentions through a look is because he knew a long time ago that Popovich hates the media or those professionals to judge his team. This team is his own. It was built with all his life's effort and sweat, so he couldn't tolerate those irrelevant people making irresponsible remarks about his team.

Didn’t you say that Stephen’s performance is good, I just don’t let him play, don’t you say that the team still relies on Duncan, I only let him play for more than ten minutes, don’t you say that Ginobili is not in good condition, I let you Look, once he fires with all his strength, how many people can resist it. Didn't you say that Michael Finley cannot be integrated into this tactical system? I will show you this tactical system.

As for the team's victory, with these two people working hard, if the Spurs can't beat the weak Hornets, then the Spurs can just sleep and don't need to think about the championship this season. In this game, although this year's No. [-] rookie Chris Paul only scored nine points, he got seven assists. At the same time, his sharp breakthrough and fearless game state in the game made people couldn't help but Praise the Hornets for picking a phenomenal player in this year's draft.

Although they only played a few preseason games, many of this year's rookies have shown their super adaptability to professional games, including Chris Paul and Granger, whom Stephen met last time. Coupard's performance in the Clippers is also very eye-catching, but none of the top three players performed very well. Bogut's performance is very average. For the first place, his performance is okay, but as the champion, as long as your performance is slightly worse, parallel importers will be crowned on your head.

Although he only proved himself in one game, Stephen was still praised as the Spurs once again proved their superhuman vision in the show after Tony Parker and Ginobili. Ion Mahinmi was mentioned but no one mentioned it.

In the next game, Popovich began to rotate a large number of non-guaranteed players, while the old players went up to find their status. The two split almost all the playing time, and Stephen could hardly play for a few minutes. But at this time Stephen was able to accept such treatment calmly.

When playing against the Knicks at home, the two rookies of the Knicks this year, Channing Frye and Nate Robinson, both broke out in good form, especially the big man Channing Frye stood outside and made a three-pointer. The same, making it very difficult to defend, and Nate Robinson brought his speed and flexibility to the extreme. With Popovich's deliberate connivance, the Knicks won a victory.

Stephen looked very strange off the court. In previous games, Popovich would watch the game very carefully, but in this game, he seldom focused on the court, but kept looking at the opponent's bench. From the looks of it, could there be some very powerful guy sitting on the Knicks' bench, but Stephen looked and found nothing. Stephen Marbury, who is known as the "League's No. [-] point guard", seems to be still on the court. , Who is the coach looking at?

And Popovich was smiled at that side every time after changing players?What's going on here? After watching for a long time, Stephen realized that Popovich's smile seemed to be directed at the opponent's coach. There's nothing ridiculous about a bad old man with white hair.

When the game ended, Popovich immediately walked towards each other quickly, and the two hugged each other enthusiastically. It could be seen that the two were very familiar. It should not be just a peer relationship, but what are the two Stephen curiously asked Van Exel beside him: "Why does our coach have such a good relationship with the opponent's coach?"

Although Stephen said that he likes basketball and admires His Majesty Jordan very much, but when he liked basketball, it was when His Majesty Jordan retired for the second time. He appreciated Jordan’s magic and extraordinaryness through watching Jordan’s video tapes. Although Jordan was second He made his comeback for the first time, but in the Wizards, Jordan has already lost the aura of omnipotence, so Stephen rarely watches basketball games. For basketball stars, he only knows about Iverson, O'Neal, Kobe, McGrady, etc. Man, most teams don't have enough players, let alone coaches.

"That's Larry Brown, who coached our team, and our head coach learned from him." Van Exel turned around and explained, picked up his jersey and walked to the locker room, no wonder the two of them As it turned out, Stephen glanced over there again, and followed him back to the locker room.

After playing against the Knicks, the next game of the Spurs is still at home, so there is no need to travel long distances. In the past two days, Stephen has been in the training hall day and night. Except for the content of the training subjects, Stephen has been in the training hall. Practice shooting. When Stephen finished training at night, he felt that his arms were swollen as if they were swollen. Did he practice too much?

As a result, on the third day, when Stephen woke up in the morning and was about to move, he felt pain in both arms. Stephen turned around and saw that both arms were thickened, and the skin was shiny and oily. Stephen barely got dressed, came to the team's training hall, and found the team doctor.

The team doctor was also taken aback when he saw it, and hurriedly called Engelland over again, asking what was going on, how could a rookie player train so much, you see, both arms are swollen like this , it will take at least a week to disappear.

Engellander was also taken aback. He took a day and a half off himself. Why did Stephen practice like this? After he got the record sheet and called the staff for the past two days to ask, he found out that Stephen In the past two days, I have practiced [-] shots, which is several times more than the normal training volume. No wonder it is so swollen.

Energeland looked at Stephen angrily and heartbrokenly, and wanted to scold Stephen, but seeing Stephen's innocent look, he couldn't scold him a little bit, and after glancing at Stephen, he hurriedly called Carlesimo. A report, Carlesimo also attached great importance to it. He came to the medical room to have a look, and he was relieved after confirming that he did not need to be sent to the medical center for treatment. After criticizing Stephen, he put Stephen in the hospital. sick list.

Now everyone in the team knew it immediately. After hearing the news, many players with non-guaranteed contracts felt that their opportunity had come. Although Stephen didn't have much playing time, he was concerned about how much the team valued him. Knowing that the team gave him a two-year contract, it was definitely not just for him to participate in training. Now that Stephen is injured, maybe there will be a spot in the team, why not make them feel happy.

Seeing the secret joy in the eyes of these people when they came to visit him, Stephen became very angry, thinking that if I was injured, you would have a chance, don't even think about it, it's only been a week, preseason It's good that it's not over. Sure enough, after hearing that Stephen's injury only needs a week of recovery time, these people all left disappointed.

When those old players came, it was already the second wave. When Ginobili came, he even brought a bouquet of white carnations. I don’t know where he got them from, but Tony Parker brought chocolates. Well, these people's consolation was much more sincere, but it really moved Stephen.

In the evening, Stephen watched the team's game against the Pacers on TV. Even at home, the Spurs failed to reap a victory. After a break, Duncan's teammate was replaced by Oberto. Facing O'Neal's strong comeback and Jascovicius, who suddenly broke out from the outside line, Duncan scored 27 points and 29 rebounds in [-] minutes of limited playing time. But his teammate Qiqi is not strong enough, and he has nothing to do.

Then they played against the Philadelphia 76ers at home. Although Allen Iverson was sidelined due to injury, Duncan burst into the sky when facing Chris Webber. He took the initiative to ask the coach for more playing time. , and finally scored 27 points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists and [-] blocks, and won the statistical victory. At the same time, the team also won. Duncan also showed a smile on his always dull face.

Chris Webber is known as "the most gorgeous power forward in history." In terms of inside offensive skills and comprehensiveness, only Duncan can compete with him, but one wins in magnificence and the other in simplicity. At the same time, his passing Technology and passing vision are also at the top level inside. Except that he can't reach the great level because of his unstable performance and slightly inferior defense, Chris Webber was in his glory days, even Garnett was willing to bow down in front of him.

Only when Duncan meets him will he be very rare, but the current Chris Webber is no longer the former Chris Webber. No matter how talented a player is, he cannot resist the attack of injuries, let alone he meets It was the knee injury that caused the most damage to basketball players. Duncan was not so bored that he intentionally bullied Webber in this state, but he cherished the opportunity to play against him because he thought that there were fewer and fewer opportunities to play against him.

Chris Webber's performance in this game can't be said to be bad, with 26 points and [-] rebounds. However, most of his points were obtained through mid-range shots. The changeable offensive methods in the past are rarely seen, although He is only three years older than Duncan, but Duncan is still at the end of his career peak, but he has reached the end of the day, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the end of the hero.

Stephen knew all these things through Robert Horry next to him. Since Duncan played for more than 30 minutes, Robert Horry sat next to Stephen throughout the game, explaining to Stephen in his mouth. He and Chris Weber is basically a person of the same era, but in terms of fame, the other party has been much better than him since college, so when he narrated, he felt very sorry.

After winning the Philadelphia 76ers, the Spurs ended the [-]-[-] preseason with a record of [-] wins and [-] losses. Just before the start of the regular season, Stephen finally passed the team doctor's examination and came to the On the training ground, after some adaptive training, Stephen took out a basketball and threw it towards the hoop from a distance. Unexpectedly, the ball went in with a bang.
