NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

"Tim, what do you mean by that?" Chang Tiancheng was puzzled. Since Coach Popovich has said that he should treat himself as the absolute core of the team, and Duncan himself has just said to himself that he wants to bring more wins to the fans of the city, why is he now telling himself that the less wins he has this season, the better?

Duncan saw that Chang Tiancheng's emotions were a little excited, so he gave up the idea of going to get another glass of juice for himself, but chose to go back and comfort Chang Tiancheng, "We don't want you to come over and lead the team to brush up on the data." "

It's a very common phenomenon in the NBA to pick a star who can play good stats by giving him the ball, but doesn't guarantee a win. Without considering the record at all, this kind of star can help the team to put on a reasonable slate, so as to strive for next year's top pick, and at the same time can ensure that the audience will not be too bored to buy tickets to watch the game, after all, there is still a star who can take care of the game on the field and perform wantonly, isn't it?

By the time of the second year, the team had a high-pick draft pick, and the star could bring the stats to a big contract. It can be said that in a sense, it is a win-win option.

Chang Tiancheng's former teammate Westbrook was believed by the outside world that after he was traded by the Lakers, he would definitely be picked up by a low-ranking team to help the team achieve the great cause of the swing. And he himself can get another chance to complete a triple-double per game, adding a few more triple-doubles to his all-time triple-double list.

And what Chang Tiancheng is worried about is that the Spurs have selected themselves as the star who helped the team mess up. Duncan's answer, however, was quick to negate his concerns.

"Often, I mean, you don't have too much pressure, after all, our team is not very good at the moment, and we are halfway through the season, and it is very difficult to make the playoffs again this season and win a championship. So we're not going to force you to win a lot for the team this season. Duncan knew that what he had just said had caused Chang Tiancheng's misunderstanding, so he patiently explained to him.

"I'm sorry, Tim, I'm too sensitive. Chang Tiancheng realized his gaffe just now, and suddenly felt a little hot on his face.

Yes, Coach Popovich and even Spurs team legend Duncan have personally come to pick him up to San Antonio, and they have promised that the team will develop themselves as the absolute core in the future, how can they be worried.

Duncan walked up to Chang Tiancheng, bent down, put one arm around Chang Tiancheng, and said in a gentle tone: "Chang, I can understand your feelings." I was traded by the team just after joining the league, and I must have felt very uncomfortable. "

No, Tim, I didn't mean that," Chang tried to explain, but was interrupted by Duncan's words.

"Chang, I don't know how much you know about the Spurs before, but as a senior who has been with the Spurs for almost 20 years, I can tell you responsibly that the Spurs are definitely the most humane team in the league. "

I know, Tim. Chang Tiancheng nodded.

With the Spurs, not to mention a superstar like Duncan, or even a role player like Danny Green or Boris Dior, you can find your niche and get a long-term contract here.

It can be said that as long as you have no intention of leaving, the Spurs will rarely choose to actively trade their own players.

"I can guarantee that when you get to San Antonio, the Spurs will feel like home to you. Duncan smiled and patted Chang Tiancheng on the shoulder, "But I also hope that when you renew your contract, you can give priority to the Spurs." After all...... You know, we don't have a lot of assets in the team.

Duncan's words were very sincere.

Compared with other big teams, the owner of the Spurs is in the tractor business, and in the NBA, where the big capitalists are entrenched, they are absolutely poor. As a result, the contracts they can offer their players are much lower than those of the big teams. This is also a big reason why many stars praise the Spurs but never think about coming here to play.

"Don't worry, Tim. Chang Tiancheng replied in a firm tone, "There is an old saying in our country, called 'the kindness of knowing is difficult to repay'. Since the Spurs chose to believe me when I was at my lowest, then I will definitely not do anything to hurt the team.

Duncan nodded slowly. Ever since Leonard left the team because of a conflict with the team, Duncan has always had a sense of concern about the stars the team plans to develop. He worries that the team will not be able to keep a player after investing resources in it and developing him into a star, but will instead make a wedding dress for other big teams.

Therefore, after listening to Chang Tiancheng's words and feeling his firmness, Duncan also felt a little moved in his heart. He can't wait to see the day when Chang Tiancheng becomes a superstar.

At this moment, Coach Popovich opened the curtain from the cabin in front of him and walked in: "How are you two talking? The plane is about to land, Chang, do you want to go directly to the apartment we arranged for you, or do you want to

go to the team first?" "I want to go to the team first, coach." Chang Tiancheng replied without hesitation, "It would be better if I could train with my new teammates once." "

Oh, don't you want to take a break? after all, you've just arrived in a new city. Coach Popovich couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Chang Tiancheng so diligent, but he still had a calm expression on his face.

"I don't need a coach, I still have a lot of time to rest. "

Okay, let's go straight to the team's training gym in a moment, it's not very far from your apartment anyway. They just had a training session in the afternoon, and if you're lucky, you might be able to get there and take part in the training match. Seeing that Chang Tiancheng was so determined, Popovich no longer dissuaded him and agreed to take Chang Tiancheng to the team training.

As soon as the plane landed, the team's car had been waiting at the airport for a long time. The three of them got into the car, and then rushed to the team's training hall non-stop.

Chang Tiancheng sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window flashing one after another.

San Antonio isn't as cosmopolitan as Los Angeles, but the town-style buildings on the street give Chang Tiancheng a long-lost sense of peace in his heart.
