All-Around Forward Swingman

Both Yi Jianlian and Duncan sat there without saying a word and watched Yang Shan chat with Popovich, wondering if they had considered these things before.

However, Yi Jianlian has some insights, and he also understands why, the agent asked him to come to the Spurs, because with Love, he will always be a substitute for the Nets.

When you arrive at the Spurs, you will have a starting position to play better statistics and prove yourself better. If you sit on the bench all the time, it's okay to be able to maintain a good state all the time

In case of an injury or something, other players on the team play, and I will definitely be marginalized slowly.

Although Yang Shan didn't talk about these things, Yi Jianlian has played in the NBA for two years now, and he has also experienced such things in his career in China for several years, no matter whether he has seen or heard of them.

Having said this, Popovich also knew that it was not suitable to talk about these things in front of the two disciples, so he smiled, and then chatted with Yang Shan about other things.

"I agree with what you said before that the future trend is three-pointers and fast breaks," Popovich said.

Hearing this, even Duncan looked at his coach in disbelief. The Spurs have always been known for their defense and positional warfare. How could they have such an idea.

"You look at me like this, do you really think I'm a stubborn old man who only knows my own way?" Popovich said with a smile when he saw the two disciples looking at him.

"Actually, the reform of the basketball trend is not decided by the coaches, but by the players. Since the league created the three-point line, the three-pointer has not been taken seriously. It's not because the coaches can't see that the three-pointer is more than two points. One point, but it is determined by the general environment. At that time, there were not many players who could make three points.

"In the 1980s and 1990s, it was prevalent in the league that the insiders won the world, especially in the 1990s, although Jordan won six championships, but the teams with four major centers were all strong in the league, so everyone would be on the inside. Kung Fu. Later, David Stern got the benefit and began to constantly modify the rules to make the rules more conducive to insiders."

"Think about it for yourself. From the new century to the present, how many high-quality insiders have been produced in the league, especially the traditional big centers. Don't tell me about the guy in Orlando. At his level, he was just a player in the 90s. It’s just blue-collar, the only rookie center in these years who is an All-Star is Yao!”

There are very few good insiders in the past two years. In this case, as the players' constitution is getting better and better. Many inside players are even more unwilling to exercise their skills. I agree with Yang's evaluation of Thabeet during the off-season. When they were in college or high school, they didn't even need to master too much technology. With their bodies, they could crush most of their peers. In this case, fewer and fewer people will exercise (get Li Zhao) their own skills, and the modern NBA generally likes younger scoring players, which also makes more players choose freshman or freshman They joined the league right after graduation, without the four years of university training, their skills can be imagined. Not many teams are willing to train a center, the center of the Lakers

He has been in the league for four years, and you have seen his growth. The NBA is a business league, and training players' basic skills should be something that universities do.
