My Name is Kobe Bryant

His eyes are piercing, like an eagle watching a wolf.

This is the upright middle-aged Gregg Popovich, a former U.S. Air Force Academy graduate. Once the university majored in Soviet studies, and the direction of graduation was civilian work in Soviet intelligence collection. In the 1970s, Popovich's ambition was to go to Moscow and become an agent! He knows how to keep a secret with silence.

It is this growth experience that makes his basketball coaching style full of military style. The San Antonio Spurs are iron-blooded, tough, and obedient. These elements are injected into the blood of the team by him.

In the NBA, everyone recognizes that the players are the masters of the league, the players decide everything, the strength of the players determines the outcome, and the coach only plays a supporting role. When an era ends, there are often ten or more players who are remembered, and the coach is There are so few, you can count them on one hand.

This is the case in most cases, but there are always some coaches who break through people's original cognition and become the symbol of the team and the protagonist of the game.

Their existence means victory. As long as there is such a coach, no matter how bad the team lineup is, they can still maintain a very good winning percentage.

There are very few coaches who are so determined, and Popovich is one of them.

The number one player in history was undoubtedly Michael Jordan in his last life.

No. 1 coach in history, opinions vary, and Gregg Popovich is bound to be a strong contender.

As a coach, the most important honor must be victory.

The championship is the most important victory. At this point, Auerbach has 10 finals and 9 championships, but that was won in ancient times when the league teams and competition were not so fierce.

Zen master Mayfair Jackson currently has 4 championships. In his last life, he won 11 championships, and he won them in the era of the most intense confrontation in the NBA. There is no doubt that he is ahead of all coaches in this regard.

But there are also many people who questioned that he achieved such an achievement because he hugged Jordan and Kobe's thighs. Zen Master has never successfully built a team independently, or cultivated superstars by himself. Public opinion generally agrees that Phil Jackson can only play full-level numbers, but not practice full-level numbers.

Popovich has 5 championships. This is where he is at a disadvantage. But there is a saying that it is not whoever has more rings is the first in history. Otherwise, Jordan would not be able to overwhelm Russell, nor would he be able to overwhelm Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The lineup when Popovich led the team was far inferior to other coaches. It can be said that Popovich founded the Spurs dynasty in ruins, a top team that has not declined for more than two decades.

Popovich's achievement lies in his more than 20 years, no matter what lineup, he can coach the team into a very competitive team. And his tactics are very diverse, he can play offensively or defensively.

Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, the Spurs can perform better than the paper lineup, often defeating the strong with the weak.

At the same time, the Spurs' assistant coaches are well-known in the league, and the head coaches of many teams are from the Spurs. The head coaches Popovich has trained should be the most in the history of the league, and several head coaches have made extraordinary achievements.

The more famous one is Doc Rivers, who has coached the Magic, the Boston Big Three and the Clippers.

Brett Brown, leading the 76ers out of the process.

Mike Budenholzer recommended George Hill for Leonard in 2011, and went to the Eagles in 2013 to achieve the best record in team history with 60 wins with a civilian team. Then he switched to the Bucks and led Alphabet Song to become the overlord of the East.

Stephen Cole, Cole did not serve as an assistant coach for the Spurs, but he spent his last few years with the Spurs, and he had already shown good coaching potential at that time. In the end, the legendary warrior dynasty was created.

Popovich's influence can be seen from these coaches.

Another point is Popovich's training of players. Except for Duncan, almost every star of the Spurs is trained from the leftovers from other teams, even including many second-round picks.

This includes several Hall of Fame players, the French sports car Tony Parker, the Argentine monster Ginobili, and the death robot Kawhi Leonard.

The draft picks of these players are not high, and they are not favored by other teams in the same period. It is also a great thing that Popovich can select them, let them improve their shortcomings, and develop their own shining points.

If these players come to a team other than the Spurs, can they still achieve such career achievements? This may be a question that no one knows about.

"Kobe, your performance is great recently!" Before the game started, Popovich was smiling. He was still black-haired, with a burly figure and piercing eyes. No one can guess how he is thinking about targeting Kobe in his heart.

"Greg, your coaching is wonderful, you will be a great coach." Bryant also responded with a smile, secretly thinking about how to make Popovich's first game against the Lakers leave a ~ shadow.

Little Fox!

old fox!

The two seemed to understand the maliciousness in each other's smiles, and couldn't help cursing inwardly.

Tim Duncan has none, and David Robinson is also injured! This is the darkest moment for the Spurs.

As an old enemy in the future, Kobe decided to teach Popovich, a rookie coach, a good lesson.

And Popovich also wants to kill Kobe to sacrifice the flag and establish his prestige in the team!

The two guys with their own ulterior motives met happily for the first time in their careers, and in the next twenty years, their grievances will run through the NBA.

The Lakers' starting lineup remains unchanged, at least not until Bruce Bowen returns.

Spurs starting lineup PG Avery - Johnson SG Vernon - Maxwell SF Sean - Elliott PF Dominique - Wilkins C Will - Perdo.

The team's paper lineup is good. If Admiral David Robinson is not injured, then they are still a team that can compete for the top four in the West.

The young general Avery Johnson is undoubtedly a diligent point guard with a solid understanding of skills and tactics, and he has grown into an excellent coach in later generations.

Crazy Max is a top pitcher once he starts to go crazy. Few teams dare to use this nerve knife to find the touch.

Sean Elliott was the No. 3 pick from 8 to 9 years. Last season, he averaged 20.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and he has fully realized his talent.

Dominique Wilkins is old and strong, averaging 18.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game this season. He is the only player who can come close to a full recovery after an Achilles tendon injury.

It can be said that the weakness of the Spurs is their inside line. Without David Robinson's Spurs, there is only one inside line - Val Perdo.

Will Perdo is a 31-year-old center who averaged 8.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season, replacing David Robinson as a Spurs substitute.

If the Flying Devil from Wake Forest University finally joins the Spurs, and with David Robinson coming back, the Spurs' inside line will become the strongest in the league!
