NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

Chang Tiancheng actually knew that if he passed the ball to Wembanyama, then after the ball was in Wembanyama's hands, the offensive time would almost be exhausted, resulting in Wembanyama having to make a hasty shot.

The probability of being able to kill with such a shot is also conceivable.

But Chang Tiancheng only hesitated slightly, and still passed the ball over.

If this ball is not handed over to Wembanyama to throw, even if he succeeds in shutting down, it will affect Wembanyama's confidence in the future game.

And if it is handed over to Wembanyama to throw and throw, he may break the demons on the offensive end from now on, and the rest of the game will be directly full of confidence and play a very good game.

Even if he didn't score, presumably Wembanyama's personality would have seriously reflected on his game state during this period of time, so as to make better adjustments.

And the price of not shooting is just losing a regular season game, which is a perfectly acceptable outcome for the Spurs, who are still growing.

After Wembanyama received the ball as he wished, he knew that he had no time to make any more breakthroughs, so he decisively pulled up from outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer.

But Wembanyama's three-point shooting rate this season is not high, and this is still a shooting percentage played with the bonus of Chang Tiancheng's point guard god skills.

Without Chang Tiancheng's blessing, Wembanyama's three-point shooting rate this season would have fallen below 20 percent.

But he still did it without hesitation.

The basketball arced through the air, but finally hit the back edge of the basket and failed to complete the kill.

The Grizzlies also narrowly beat the Spurs by one point, completing the second-ranked team against the first-ranked team.

The Grizzlies celebrated on the Spurs' home court, and a win in this crucial meeting could make them a good chance of shooting for the top spot in the league.

And Rose, the best player in this game, was surrounded by his teammates in the middle.

There were even teammates who came over with a glass of water and poured it over his head.

In stark contrast to the Grizzlies, the Spurs sat at home, once holding a lead of more than a dozen points, but ultimately lost.

This loss was even more unacceptable than their previous loss to the Nuggets in Denver.

First of all, that loss was on the Nuggets' home court, and the Nuggets' home court was still on the Denver Plateau, which was a challenge for the players.

Secondly, the Nuggets are a very strong team, they were the NBA champions last year, and the entire team system has been very well developed. Jokic, the star of the Nuggets, is currently the best player in the NBA.

The Spurs themselves, as a team full of newcomers, lost to the Nuggets as most people expected.

Even the Spurs were able to play the Nuggets until the last minute, which was enough to surprise people.

The reason why the Spurs and Grizzlies have been able to get such a good record this season is largely due to the Nuggets' recent frequent suspension of Jokic and other key players.

Whether it is against the Spurs or the Grizzlies, the Nuggets have won the final victory, which can also show that the Nuggets are still the strongest team in the NBA at the moment when they are fully played.

This time the loss to the Grizzlies is on the one hand because the Spurs themselves are stronger than the Grizzlies, and the opposing star Morant is still absent, so it is natural to win this game.

What's more, the Spurs once held a big score advantage, so it is even more undeserved to lose.

Popovich's mood at this time is probably not much better than that of the fans.

As soon as the players returned to the locker room, Popovich angrily tapped the tactics whiteboard behind him.

"What do you all think?!Chang!Especially you!What kind of ball do you pass in the last little time?!"

Popovich first sent his anger towards Chang Tiancheng, although in the end it was because Wembanyama took the initiative to ask for the ball and made a hasty shot that caused the team to lose, but Chang Tiancheng, who chose to pass the ball to him, could not escape responsibility.

"Yes, Coach, I didn't think it through. At that time, the opponent gave a lot of defensive pressure, and I didn't turn my mind for a while, so I will reflect on it later. Popovich originally thought that Chang Tiancheng would refute his words, after all, he also saw on the sidelines that it was Wembanyama who kept asking for the ball that caused Chang Tiancheng to pass the ball to him.

He also thought that if Chang Tiancheng mentioned this, he would take the opportunity to criticize Wembanyama, but he didn't expect Chang Tiancheng to be decisive and directly take all the responsibility on himself, which made Popovich feel a little surprised.

Being said by Chang Tiancheng's sincere attitude, Popovich also didn't know what to say, so he could only suppress the anger that was originally going to be released, and ordered all the staff to go to the team's training hall for training tomorrow.

Although the players were trained, they saw that Popovich was not angry, so they prepared to take a shower and change clothes.

Just when Chang Tiancheng was about to take a shower, Popovich stopped him alone and left him in the locker room.

"Chang, why did you speak for Victor just now, in fact, you could have thrown the blame on him.

"Coaching, protecting your teammates, is also an important responsibility of a point guard. Chang Tiancheng smiled, "Victor is still young, this is his first year in the NBA." I know he's been poor on the offensive end lately, but we still have to give him room to grow. If you criticize him for this matter today, according to his character, he may not dare to make a move in the future.

Popovich nodded: "However, although we want to protect him, it doesn't mean that we have to protect him everywhere." A performance like today's should be criticized and criticized. Often, I think I have more experience than you when it comes to player governance. "

This..." Chang Tiancheng scratched his head, he really didn't take this into account, maybe as Popovich said, he cared a little too much about Wembanyama's feelings, maybe he wasn't as fragile as he thought.

"Alright, you should hurry up and take a bath, I'll talk to him alone about him then."

After Popovich finished speaking, he patted Chang Tiancheng on the shoulder, and then turned around and left the locker room, leaving Chang Tiancheng alone to sit in the locker room in a daze.
