Chapter 37: The Storm (Part II)

After Hubby Brown's tangled substitution, the Spurs' bench was not replaced by the steady Popovich. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 In his opinion, some games are irrelevant, and it is the tactics that are the focus. The opponent of the Spurs has never been the Raptors, Grizzlies and the like.

Even if he loses the game, he has to see this lineup, this tactic, what kind of combat power can be played, and what kind of flaws there are!

Entering a state of madness, Chamberlain, Ginobili and they did not back down because the Grizzlies' main force came on the court. One is the one who will be the reborn of the superstar as the target, and the other is the existence that even O'Neill dares to bump into when he is excited.

"This is the game I want, the NBA I want!"

This is the truest thought in Chamberlain's heart at this time, which makes him forget his nervousness and forget that he is just a trick!

The crazy rotation of the offense and defense of the two teams is like a wild horse, full of wildness, under the constraints of the field, constantly running back and running back.

Such a fantastic game, with explosive performance passes and shots, also made the fans here fall into a frenzy, they cheered loudly, and booed so loudly that they even forgot to see who was ahead and who was behind in the scoreline of the two teams!

Hubby Brown also felt like he was going crazy, and he watched it all in disbelief because the Spurs were playing against them with just one bench lineup!

He called for a halt to the game, but it was useless except to make the disgruntled fans more restless, and he kept emphasizing the "rhythm", but until the timeout was exhausted, Hubby Brown did not control the game.

One team is completely defenseless, and the other team is not able to defend at all. The final score was 103::114. The Spurs won by a margin rarely seen in history.

This is also the first time that the Spurs have won without defense since Popovich took over!

The Spurs and the Grizzlies have no old grudges, and they are not on the same level, it is this ordinary game, because of the "small ball tactic", but after the game, it has become the headline of almost all sports-related American media.

Because the game is so beautiful, so good-looking, it suffocates the people in it!

In the United States, the death of a celebrity's dog can become news and make them have a lot of associations, as the previous champion Spurs, suddenly changed their tactical style, causing a sensation.

"Popovich becomes a scientist!"

"The Grizzlies lost to the Spurs bench, and the Eastern bamboo pole dominates the inside!"

"The substitute scored the highest score in team history!"

"Two lineups, two tactics, Spurs are aiming to defend the title!"

..... America's powerful headline party has written articles covering the Spurs from a variety of perspectives. In the midst of this storm of balls, three people were widely mentioned.

The ancestor of the defense, Popovich, the helm of the Spurs.

Having led the team to the top twice in 1999 and 2003, Popovich established himself as a famous coach. As last year's coach of the year, Popovich's tactics for the Spurs were interpreted as "Nesterovich's soft style of play obviously can't replace the role of the retired admiral at the Spurs." How to contain O'Neal has become a problem that Popovich must face on the way to defend the Spurs' title. This great coach chose to change the substitution when there was not much to change in the main team, and it is undeniable that it was a genius idea...."

"Popovich seems to have a magical eye, and he always finds the shining spot in those cheap players.

Bruce Bowen, a player that no team wants to receive, who doesn't have great scoring ability, and who is not physically mediocre, has become a defender for the Spurs that makes all the league's outside guards feared.

Ginobili, who had already proven himself on the international stage, was selected by the Spurs in the second round in 1999 at No. 28, landed in the NBA in 2002 at the age of 25, and finished fourth in the rookie rankings that year. With a nimble pace, sharp judgment and impeccable court attitude, he is able to maintain 100% concentration and passion every minute and second, as long as he is on the court, he has no worries, and can rush inside whenever the team needs it, although his overly passionate style of play makes him occasionally make nonsensical mistakes. But be warned, he's only a second-round 28 show, and he scored a terrifying 41 points against the Grizzlies yesterday.

I hadn't heard of this guy before yesterday, I only knew Wilt Chamberlain, but he definitely had nothing to do with this great center, because he was an Oriental, a fellow Rocket Yao. Having a worse weight than most of the league's outside linemen has left this rookie unwanted in this year's draft, and after yesterday's game, I think a lot of league coaches have taken an interest in him. Accurate passing, good timing dismantling, Oriental's unique soft shooting touch, and more importantly, amazing judgment of rebounding points, and he is only eighteen years old!"

This is a report that focuses on Popovich's unique insight into the selection of players.

The second person is naturally Ginobili, as a second-year rookie, he has not yet had the status of the future generations, and after scoring 41 points, he was put under the microscope for observation.

The media, struggling to prove the fact that Ginobili is good, began to play up all his virtues.

"Maintain 100% concentration and passion every minute and every second", "The layup feel is unparalleled in the league, and there are often incredible layup performances, which are very ornamental", "Perfect performance in team offense, good overall situation and judgment of the ball", "Very good mental quality", "First-class team defense, strong rotation ability", "Perfect physical flexibility"....

This is no longer Ginobili, this is Jordan!

The third highlight is Chamberlain, the name that caused media controversy at the beginning of entering the league, the tragic weight and height, the encounter with Yao Ming in the preseason, yesterday's 13 points and 17 rebounds, very comprehensive technical characteristics.... All of this has become the focus of media coverage.

"He doesn't have any flaws other than being a little thinner!"

"Is he the jewel of this draft?"

"Who does he remind you of?"

However, the Spurs, and Chamberlain, didn't have time to indulge in these accolades.

The reports on the Spurs have not subsided, and another round of dust is rising in the wind, and the main opponent of the Spurs in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers, who were eliminated by the Spurs in 03, are "coming at night" under the leadership of the OK combination.

This game, which has been given a special meaning by the league, is also the game that Popovich attaches the most importance to, and Popovich's test of Chamberlain has really begun.
