This season, the Spurs have added a number of strong reinforcements, and their record can be described as leaps and bounds, with only 21 wins last season, 56 wins this season, and 35 more wins in a season also set a new NBA record, they regained the Midwest championship, David Robinson won the Rookie of the Year without surprise and was selected to the NBA All-Star team, and the Spurs reached the playoffs with the second record in the West and 0 in the first round:3 swept the Denver Nuggets led by Inglish cleanly, and the Spurs met the Portland Trail Blazers led by Deluxler in the second round.
At that time, the Trail Blazers did not have a high school forward, in order to limit Robinson, the Trail Blazers used three big forwards who were a little more than two meters tall to encircle Robinson, this tactic worked wonders, Robinson only scored 9 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks in the first game of 11 shooting 3, and the substitute center Brickkowski broke out and scored 20 points, but to no avail, the Spurs lost to the Trail Blazers 94-107 in the first game.
In the second game, Robinson found the effect of cracking, that is, to enter the restricted area to play back, although limited to physical conditions Robinson rarely plays inside, but using less does not mean that he will not use, it is more than enough to deal with a group of players who are more than ten centimeters shorter than himself, in the second game, Robinson shot 11 of 19 and scored 31 points and 8 rebounds, Terry Cummings also exploded, 21 shots and 15 of 33 points, but the Spurs still lost, and the Trail Blazers three 20+ directly offset the firepower of Cummings and Robinson, The Spurs lost another game 112-122.
The Spurs, who returned to their home court in the third game, slaughtered the Trail Blazers 121-98, and the game lost suspense early, Strickland scored 13 points and sent 17 assists to lead the team to score six double-doubles, of which Robinson scored 28 points on 11-of-14 shooting, and the fourth game completely became a drama between Drexler and Terry Cummings, the former scored 27 points and 7 assists on 11-of-19 shooting, and the latter scored 35 points and 11 rebounds on 16-of-26 shooting, Strickland scored another big double-double of 17 points and 14 assists to lead the team to a 115-105 victory over the Trail Blazers, and the big score was tied at 2-2.
The fifth game was the best game in the whole series, the two teams fought for two overtimes, and finally the Spurs lost to the Trail Blazers 132-138, Terry Porter of the Trail Blazers was like a god in the whole game, 38 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 13-of-19 shooting, and Drexler scored 35 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists on 13-of-24 shooting! The Spurs were the only Cummings team to score more than 30 points, with 32 points and 11 rebounds on 9-of-22 shooting, Robinson 27 points and 15 rebounds, Willie Anderson with 23 points and Elliott with 21 points.
The Trail Blazers temporarily took the lead, but their lead was not yet solidified, and in the next game, the Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers 112-97, and Willie Anderson became the savior of the team, and he shot 13-of-19 in the game with 30 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists to take the game away, and the series finally came to the tiebreaker to advance to the OR home!

Although the Spurs were eliminated in the second round, no one can deny that this Spurs team is an incomparably strong existence, and this is Robinson's first year in the Spurs, they can wrestle with the championship team, and their future is extremely bright. In fact, this year's Trail Blazers eliminated the Suns in the Western Conference Finals after eliminating the Spurs, reaching the Finals, and were eventually defeated by the Pistons.
After that, the Spurs made a comeback, and successively introduced a number of players to strengthen the team, Antoine Kyle, known as the poor version of Barkley, is physically strong, fierce in the style of play, and has a strong ability to play inside singles, originally a star of the Saramento Kings, averaging 20 points per game, and after coming to the Spurs, he was willing to play Robinson off the bench, averaging 10.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
This season's Spurs have been hit by injuries, and only David Robinson and Elliott are on the team. Robinson averaged 25.6 points, 13.0 rebounds and 3.9 blocks per game, including him winning the title of rebounding champion this season, Elliott averaged 15.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, Cummings played in 67 games and averaged 17.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, Elliott averaged 16.3 points per game, the guard line was tormented by injuries for a season, Strickland only played 58 games, averaging 13.8 points and 8.0 assists per game, and Willie Anderson averaged 14.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in 75 games, given the frequent injuries on the guard lineThe Spurs signed guard Avery Johnson, who was waived by the Nuggets, at the end of the season.
Johnson was not born tall, did not participate in the draft, and is only 180 cm tall, in the NBA where he is like a forest, he is a complete dwarf, this reason also led to Johnson not being reused in the early stage of his career, but Johnson has good organizational skills, and has strong leadership skills, and dares to play at critical moments, so he won the nickname of "Little General", Johnson was only used as a spare tire for Uncle Si in the early days of the Spurs, and averaged 5.1 points and 3.3 assists per game.
This season's Spurs have won 55 games, ranking fourth in the West, and their first round of the playoffs is against the Golden State Warriors led by Nelson Sr., the Warriors that year were the most glorious moments of the "Running Trio", Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, and Mitch Richmond set off a bloody storm in the league, and after four games, the Warriors eliminated the Spurs 3:1 on the next gram, and each of them scored more than 20 people in "RUN3", although the team lost, But David Robinson still showed his superstar value in this round of the series, averaging 25.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game, shooting 68.6% from the field!
The Spurs lost on three-point shots, the Spurs only averaged 6.7 three-pointers per game, an average of only 0.8 shots, and the three-point shooting rate was a miserable 11.9%, while the Warriors averaged 13.0 three-pointers per game, with an average of 5.2 shots, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 40%, and the Spurs lost by an average of 13.2 points per game on three-point goal difference, not to mention the open shooting opportunities pulled out because of the three-point shot.

Larry Brown was sacked after 38 games in charge of the team due to a massive injury this season, and in the absence of a head coach, Bob Buss took on the role of a quick relief for the Spurs. This season's Spurs achieved a 47-35 record and entered the playoffs with the sixth place in the West, but in the first round of the playoffs, they were swept by the Suns, and the Suns at that time had not waited for Barkley, the team's main attackers were the two major scorers Honacek and Kevin Johnson, who combined to score 47 points, 10 rebounds, 18 assists, and shot above 52% from the field, shooting the Spurs alive, David Robinson torn ligaments in his left hand in a game that was about to start the playoffs, and the season was reimbursed, Terry Cummings became the team's offensive arrowhead, averaging 26.0 points and 11.3 rebounds per game, Antoine Kyle was called up, averaging 19.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, Elliott averaged 19.7 points per game, and Uncle Stellar averaged 15.5 points and 9.5 assists per game, but these statistics did not bring the Spurs a win in even one game, and the importance of David Robinson was best reflected in this series.
Next season's Spurs will be strong, and after Robinson's return, the team's record will be all the way to the playoffs, and fans are waiting for Robinson and Barkley to fight the battle of the century! After years of inaction in the playoffs under David Robinson, will they be able to make a breakthrough next season?
