All-Around Forward Swingman

Popovich, who regarded three-pointers as heresy in the 1990s, later emphasized shooting three-pointers. The Spurs' three-pointers and shooting percentages are among the top in the league.

From this, we can see that Popovich is a very utilitarian coach, and he does not have any fixed tactics in his mind. As long as it can win the team and the championship, what kind of tactics will he use? are willing to try.

Just like players like Bruce Bowen, the average team will not want him, because he is too notorious, but he is the most indispensable point in the Spurs

In fact, the Spurs went from winning the championship for the fourth time in 2007 to the fifth time in 2014, with seven years in between.

The Spurs can enter the playoffs every year, and the results in the playoffs are good, but they always fall short. The main reason is that there is not a good perimeter defensive player. If Bruce Bowen is not so old and does not retire, it is absolutely not a problem to win two championships in the past seven years.

In the past seven years, Parker and Manu Ginobili have been at their peak, and Duncan is also at the tail of his peak, but they lack a perimeter defensive gate. They can't go further in the playoffs every year

Until the end, even the GDP is old, but as Leonard grows up, they rely on the old GDP to win the championship again. It has to be said that Popovich is really good.

Of course, Popovich is not thinking that far now. What he thinks is to win the Suns today, and then return to home to kill the Suns and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Now the Eastern Conference has almost finished playing. The Cavaliers have already defeated the Wizards and are about to play the Eastern Conference Finals with the Pistons.

If there is no mistake, this year it may be the Spurs and continue to play the finals with the Pistons.

If there is an opponent that Popovich is least willing to meet in the East, it is the Pistons.

Although Ben has left the Bulls, their team's lineup has not been damaged too much. In fact, Ben's defensive ability is far from what it used to be.

The little prince Prince has gradually grown up, together with Hamilton and Billups who are still at their peak, and Rasheed Wallace who is still at the peak, their offense and defense are very strong, it can be said that the alliance Currently their worst enemy.

As for the Cavaliers, they only rely on James alone to reach the Eastern Conference finals, which is already very remarkable. If the Cavaliers really make it to the finals, they only need to use Bruce Bowen to watch James well, and the other players can't make any waves at all.

Before he knew it, Popovich was thinking about his opponent in the finals again. He shook his head to drive this thought out of his mind, and returned his attention to today's 213 game.

Looking at Yang Shan who was running constantly on the court, Popovich felt a little emotional. This is indeed a good player. If he had Nash in his hands, maybe he would run and run.

Some people say that Nash was made by running and bombing. In fact, this sentence can also be said in reverse, that it is Nash who made running and bombing.

With so many teams in the league, why is only the Suns able to run and shoot? The main reason is that other teams do not have Nash, such a player who is suitable for running and shooting.

Although the Warriors are also playing the so-called running and bombing, in Popovich's view, it is not running and bombing at all, it is just fighting indiscriminately, with poor tactical coordination. .
