Chapter 562: History of Spurs (Congratulations to SYoonAT for becoming the 14th alliance leader in this book!)
"The quaint streets and unique architecture are stunning, and there is no American steely neighborhood at all. γζβε»β³ε°βθͺͺβ³ηΆ² Qu γ"
Next is the part that Jiang Haoran is also very interested in, and it is full of emotion when it reads, the TV tower and state flag of the holy city appear in the video, and it happens to be in one picture, which looks particularly emotional.
"In 1691, Spanish navigators found the land, which coincided with the anniversary of the great Catholic saint Antonio of Portugal, and the navigators named the land Sant'Antonio, or the Holy City for short. β
The picture began to be edited and circulated rapidly, and Jiang Haoran's voice also improved by one point.
"From the very beginning of its existence, the Holy City was associated with devout faith and religion, and it survived the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War in the 19th century, and the Holy City stood out in Texas as the economic and cultural core of the South. β
"It's a place where the most advanced American science and technology, medical care, Spanish churches and mansions from the 18th century onwards, and many churches have been transformed into residential areas by Mexicans. β
"The fusion of different regional cultures makes the holy city full of exotic atmosphere. β
The director made gestures below, reminding Jiang Haoran in advance that there was going to be a turn.
Jiang Haoran nodded: "Being in the holy city of Texas, although there is no wild cowboy in the west, he has the heart of a cowboy." And the pride of the Holy City, the San Antonio Spurs, is the pride of the Holy City!"
When I read this, the video showed five championship gold flags hanging above the AT&T arena, 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2014, Jiang Haoran felt a little choked.
In 1973, a Dallas basketball team called Bush moved to the Holy City and changed its name to San Antonio, becoming a new force in the NBA in 1976 during the wave of mergers between the NBA and the ABA. β
"Coming to the NBA with the team, there is also a generation of legendary superstar, George Gervin, this slender and tall guard swingman, with his unprecedented basketball skills, leading the Spurs across the NBA, calm and focused, and unfazed style of play, but also won Gervin the reputation of 'Iceman'. His famous finger twister spread in the NBA. With this skill, the Iceman was crowned the NBA scoring champion four times and became the first superstar in Spurs history. β
In 1985, the aging Iceman left the Holy City, and the Spurs began to rebuild, in the 1987 draft, the Spurs selected David Robinson, but this talented center chose to complete his military service, and did not come to San Antonio until 1989, 2.16 meters tall, but with the speed and bounce of a guard, Robinson's arrival set off a craze in the NBA, he can not only win the scoring title on the offensive end, but also cover the sky on the defensive end, and win the best defensive player. β
In 1995, he became the first MVP in the history of the Spurs! In the 90s, Olajuwon, Admiral David Robinson, Patrick Ewing and Shark O'Neal were called the four centers. With their magnificent and domineering interior strength, they have created a prosperous era that belongs to the center. β
Jiang Haoran read the history of the Spurs team, and he seemed to know another intention of RC Buford, so that Jiang Haoran could understand the soul of the Spurs, and also let Jiang Haoran understand what he is doing for this team and the city now.
From 1994 to 1995, their confrontation was arguably the strongest battle between the beasts, however, David Robinson, despite his toned and strong muscles, was never able to lead the Spurs to the top because of his elegant and quiet personality, and in 1996, Robinson was reimbursed due to illness, and the Spurs had their toughest season, with only 20 wins. β
"The darkness before dawn is the coldest, and only from the ruins can the most amazing flowers bloom, and the holy city that has fallen to the bottom of the valley has ushered in an era that truly belongs to them, a dynasty called the Spurs!"
Jiang Haoran spoke a little slower and began to introduce the history of the Spurs that fans are familiar with: "In the summer of 1997, Popovich, who had just joined the Spurs, traveled thousands of miles to the Wilkin Islands in the Caribbean Sea to find a 21-year-old young man, this guy who was wearing beach pants, casual and lazy, in the past year, made countless NBA scouts, coaches, and managers crazy. Even the Boston Celtics, full of pride and honor, were willing to put it on the. β
"A generation of legendary cardinals bluntly said: this young man, I have ever seen the most like the Lord of the Rings Bill Russell. β
"This guy, it's called Tim Duncan. β
"Luckily, it befell the Holy City, it befell Popovich and his Spurs, and in the 1997 draft, the Spurs drew the No. 1 pick, and they didn't even need the slightest hesitation to take Duncan, who the entire NBA coveted and destined to become a superstar. β
The picture of the draft disappeared and Jordan appeared instead.
In 1998, Michael Jordan made his final shot in Salt Lake City, Utah, marking the end of the Bulls dynasty. That same year, Duncan, a rookie from Wake Forest, led the Spurs back to the top, and he was selected as a first-year rookie to announce the beginning of a new era for the Spurs. β
In 1999, the Spurs in the shortened season, in the playoffs, swept the OK combination of the Lakers, sophomore Duncan led the Spurs to a 15-2 record to win the championship, he was crowned FMVP, pushed the door to the post-Jordan era, the following two years, the Argentine Ginobili from Europe, and the young Tony Parker of France, were accepted by Popovich, these two young people, standing behind the great No. 21 back, created the unbeatable GDP combination, these three people, in 2003In 2005 and 2007, he won three championships for the Spurs, and in this great championship process, Duncan, a big man with his poor appearance, single-handedly ended the undefeated dynasty of the OK combination, smashed the steel and iron bones of the iron-blooded pistons, extinguished the fast-break flames of Phoenix, and cut off the road to the coronation of the little emperor. β
Zhao Xianjing was stunned, Jiang Haoran What is the situation, is it not NG (remake)? Didn't you read a word wrong? Asked the Chinese consultant, Jiang Haoran not only did not read it wrong, but also read the level of the anchor, this was originally just a gimmick of Jiang Haoran, I didn't want him to read so well.
"The wheels of history are rolling forward, but the Spurs are still standing, and they have been regrouped several times, and under the leadership of Popovich, they continue to perform the perfect team basketball, just when the world thought the Spurs had sunset, these old men returned to the Finals in 2013, and played seven games against the Heat, creating an epic great series. β
In 2014, the Spurs returned to take revenge on the Heat triumvirate. β
(There are some things, I can't write more, tomorrow the Spurs will fight the Knights, and I will definitely be blown up when I meet the Spurs like this!!A wave of poisoned milk!) Reading, a better reading experience.
