NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

Although Mr. Popovich usually gives the impression of being unsmiling and rather serious, he is actually very good at treating one type of player in private.

Whenever a player has any psychological problems, he is willing to ask Popovich a few words and listen to his experience as an elder.

Seeing that Popovich suddenly became angry, everyone was quite surprised, and suddenly became a lot more energetic, and they turned their attention to Popovich.

At this moment, Popovich's eyes are also very firm. He is not in a hurry to express his remarks, but turns his head to look at all the players at the scene~.

When those sharp eyes swept across their faces, they would even feel like a sharp edge, making them afraid to look at them.

At this moment, Popovich's mind also shows the past time of these players in the Spurs, and the hard work they put in - sweat.

Just looking at them for a moment, Popovich actually bent down and bowed heavily to the players on the scene.

"I'm sorry, everyone didn't play well in this game, it's my coach's responsibility, everyone has worked very hard on the court, and they played very organically in the first half.

As the head coach, I did not give full play to your advantages, which made everyone feel very uncomfortable, here I have to review myself!"

After Popovich said these words, he bowed heavily to all the players and staff at the scene again, his tone was full of sincerity, matched with his gray hair, which made people feel distressed after seeing it. .

As soon as Popovich's voice fell, all the players on the scene, including Duncan, were particularly uncomfortable in their hearts, and more deeply blamed themselves.

The so-called clever woman is hard to cook without rice. Popovich's scheduling of players in the first half has been perfect, and it can be said that he exhausted all his methods.

In the final analysis, these players did not play well.

But the reason why Popovich said this is that he hopes not to discourage everyone's enthusiasm, and at the same time takes the responsibility on himself.

He is very clear that once these players lose confidence, the next game can be described as a mountain of defeat, which will not only affect this game, but also have a huge impact on other games.

It seems that many top teams in the league are obviously very strong, but after an inexplicable defeat, many of the next games will experience a losing streak, or even lose to a team that is impossible to lose.

The goal of the Spurs this season is to win the championship, especially losing to a strong team like the Lakers has a huge impact on the next game.

At this time, Popovich must plan ahead, even if the game really loses, it doesn't matter, what he is most afraid of is affecting the next game.

"Everyone's responsibility is, I'm not with you, so I hope you can play your best, don't affect your mood because of me!

Then Popovich didn't even arrange any tactics for other players, but walked out of the locker room silently.

As for where Popovich went, no one knows, but after he left, the effect was undoubtedly huge.

Looking at the disappearing figure of the old man, while Tim Duncan and the others looked at each other in dismay, there was even more anger burning in their hearts.

It was an impulse to express dissatisfaction with his state just now, and at the same time want to eat the Lakers alive.

Popovich is in his 60s and is an old coach in the NBA, and it is unknown how many years he can play.

Duncan and Popovich have been together for so many years and have never seen their old coach like this.

So he stood up, looked at the other players on the field, followed Bobo to surround him just now, and bowed heavily at the players present.

"Everyone, the core responsibility as a team in the first half was all on me, but there's actually one thing I didn't say.

Before this game, the coach's wife was diagnosed with some discomfort, but for the sake of our team, he simply gave up going to the hospital with his wife temporarily, and did not let me tell you.

As a coach, he has given everything for the team, and in the second half, maybe he won't come back.

We have to show our best performance and prove to the coach that what he has done is worth it!

"it is good!

As soon as Tim Duncan's words came out, everyone on the scene was deeply infected, and the atmosphere in the entire locker room became extremely warm.

· · Flowers ·

For the Spurs players, this is no longer a simple regular season, it has even become the most intense seventh game of the finals!

While the Spurs were battling their horses, the atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room was festive.

"Dayao, you're doing really well, brother, you're the strongest center I've ever seen!

Beverly walked up to Dayao first, stretched out his hand, and squeezed Dayao's shoulder.

His words are not just about us. In the first half, Dayao played a total of 12 minutes, that is, a quarter, but scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, two blocks, and an assist.

Dayao's role is not only reflected in offense, but his defensive efficiency is also very efficient.

Diao of the Spurs, who faced Dayao, was not a center who was good at attacking, but he made four shots in the first half, but he didn't hit a single time, and was blocked by Dayao.

As an important part of the team's domination of the ball, Dayao completely blocked Diao, which largely made the Spurs' inside attack misfire on the spot.

Although Tim Duncan scored 12 points in the first half, his offensive efficiency and rebounding were also inferior to Dayao.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of him, the mainstay of the inside line, that the Lakers blossomed more in the first half.

Even Bynum, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, was full of admiration when he faced Dayao.

On the basketball court, everything is based on data and efficiency. In the previous two games between the Spurs and the Lakers, when Bynum played as the main center, he was completely overwhelmed by the Spurs' inside line, and it was completely different with Dayao.

While the Lakers were hilarious, Phil Jackson came to the center of the players and laid out the tactics for the second half:

"Everyone, everyone's performance in the first half was very good, we played as a whole, and I was very pleased with Dayao's performance in the first game.

However, in the second half, we still have to make certain adjustments in the lineup:

In the third quarter, Lin Lei and Dayao don't have to come on stage for now, Kobe, Gasol, Bynum will play, and continue to fight with the Spurs!" Corpse.
