In the 2009 NBA draft, the Spurs selected DeJuan Blair, a short center from the University of Pittsburgh, with the 37th pick in the second round, Blair is 201 cm tall and plays the fourth position, such a short man also plays inside, which is enough to show how strong Blair is, Blair's biggest role on the court is to grab rebounds, he not only has the power to shoot, the arm span is also long, but also has a fairly good shoulder width, the ball style is tough, but he has serious injury risks, his two knees do not have meniscus, which made Blair, who could have entered the lotto, only fall to the second round, and the career or peak period of a player without a meniscus will not be very long, and it is clear that Blair is a living example.

In the new season, Blair averaged 7.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and had eight double-doubles this season, including two 20+20 performances, which made him selected for the NBA Rookie Game that year, and finally he shared the MVP of the Rookie Challenge with Tyrek Evans with his 22 points and 23 rebounds.

This season, the Spurs also completed an important recruitment, 3 years and 18.79 million US dollars to sign the 2001 All-Star power forward Antonio McDyce, McT01 Days was also a physical flow when he was young, omnipotent, coupled with solid basic skills, he was in the limelight for a while, but unfortunately when he was just entering the peak, he only played 52 games in the three seasons from 2001 to 2003, and then he disappeared from everyone, remember the 2005 NBA Finals? At that time, the main defense of Duncan was Rasheed Wallace, at that time Wallace was impatient, and was deceived and fouled by Duncan many times and had to rest, the Pistons sent McDyce, such a substitution once received miraculous results, because McDyce's basic skills are very solid, and he is not afraid of Duncan at all, and McDyce's comprehensive ability is not as good as before when he is old, but a coquettish small mid-range shot is still the foundation of his life, and McDyce has become the first substitute behind Duncan in the new season, He averaged 5.8 points and 5.9 rebounds in 21 minutes per game.

Several important additions this season are obvious, all of which are aimed at Duncan and Ginobili injuries, these two missed a lot of games due to injuries last season, resulting in the team not doing anything in the playoffs, this season, Duncan and Ginobili recovered, Parker was injured again, he only played 56 games this season, averaging 16.0 points and 5.7 assists per game, and finally the Spurs got the lowest record in recent years 50-32, and entered the playoffs with the seventh place in the West, and the first round 4:2 overturned the Mavericks again, Ginobili was a key figure in the team's victory, averaging 19.0 points and 5.0 assists per game in six games. In the second round, the Spurs encountered the Suns again, Spurs vs Suns, don't say anything, just do it!

Because of Parker's injury, Popovich put Parker on the bench, the backcourt was played by George Hill and Richard Jefferson, and the interior was Duncan and McDyce, as a result, Parker played well on the bench, scoring 26 points in the first game, Ginobili scored 27 points, Duncan scored 20 points and 11 rebounds, but the Spurs still lost the game 102-111, the reason was that the Suns' starting guard Steve Nash was too NB, and he shot 13-of-19 from the field with 33 points and 10 assists. Jason Richardson scored 27 points, Stoudmire scored 23 points and 13 rebounds, and the Suns relied on the play of these three to knock the Spurs down.

The second game was the same as the first game, the Spurs lost another game 102-110, Duncan scored 29 points and 10 rebounds, Jefferson scored 18 points and 10 rebounds, Parker still played off the bench and scored 20 points, while the Suns were a team explosion, with six players scoring in double figures, Stoudemire scored 23 points and 11 rebounds, Nash and Jason Richardson each scored 19 points, Grant Hill scored 18 points, Channing Furley scored 15 points, and Barbossa scored 11 points.

The third game returned to the home court of the Spurs, and the two teams played inextricably in the first three quarters, and at this time, the Suns' backup guard Goran Dragic suddenly turned on the rampage mode, scoring 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting in a single quarter, and beat the Spurs down again, who is Dragic? I didn't know any Spurs players before, this brother is in the second grade, he averaged about 15 minutes per game in the regular season, and only played 24 minutes in the first two games of the Spurs in the playoffs, but he was such a figure, who broke out in the most critical third game and directly turned the tide of the game!

In the fourth game, the Suns did not give the Spurs any chance, defeated the Spurs 107:101 and swept the Spurs with a big score of 4:0 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals. While he was averaging 20.3 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in the series, he couldn't hold back the younger Stoudemire on the defensive end to make the latter demand in the game.

In the 2010-2011 season, the Spurs mainly added two players on the basis of maintaining an all-out lineup, one is Gary Neil, a three-point shooter signed by 3 years and 2.23 million US dollars, Neil participated in the 2007 NBA draft, but was not drafted and had to play in overseas leagues, fortunately, Neil, who performed well, attracted the attention of Spurs scouts and was eventually signed to the Spurs. It quickly integrated into the team's tactical system and played a huge role in both the regular season and the playoffs.

In 2007, the No. 28 player in the first round, he was called Thiago Split, although he was selected by the NBA team three years ago, but he still played in La Liga for the past three years, and the 2010 men's basketball time game made Split shine, and finally landed in the NBA this season, everyone knows that Split later became the team's indispensable starting five, but in his first season in the NBA, he mainly sat on the bench, watching Duncan, McDies and other big brothers play, study, Drawing nourishment from them, Split has averaged just 12.3 minutes per game this season.

Parker averaged 17.5 points and 6.6 assists per game this season, Ginobili returned to the start, averaging 17.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, Duncan began to play healthy basketball this season, actively slimming down to reduce the pressure on his knees, playing only 28.4 minutes per game per game, playing less than 30 minutes per game for the first time in his career, he only averaged 13.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game this season, the Spurs had the second-highest record in the league this season with 61 wins and 21 losses, and entered the playoffs with the first place in the West, and the first round of the playoffs was against the Memphis Grizzlies with black and white.

That year's Grizzlies mainly played the interior Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, the main offensive interior in the style of play, shooting less three-pointers, defense first, although the Grizzlies are only eighth in terms of record, but the style is tough, dare to fight, is a hard stubble, is a team that no one wants to touch in the playoffs, in addition to the interior two-dollar general, the Grizzlies also have an All-Star guard Mike Conley, and the outside defensive gate Tony Allen, from a certain aspect, the Grizzlies are building a team with the example of the Spurs in the previous two years, In the first game of the playoffs, the Spurs learned the power of the Grizzlies, the black and white duo chopped nearly 50 points on the inside, grabbed 23 rebounds, OJ Mayo and Sean Battier on the bench also combined to score 23 points, Conley also contributed 15 points and 10 assists, on the other hand, Grizzlies, Ginobili did not play due to injury, George Hill partnered with Parker, the effect was not good, Parker scored only 20 points on 4-of-16 shooting, Hill scored 15 points on only 2-of-7 shooting, Duncan scored 16 points and 13 rebounds, but it was obvious, whether it is Duncan, the older McDyes, or the shorter Blair, they can't stop Randolph and Gasol from wreaking havoc on the inside.

In the second game, Ginobili returned, George Hill played a huge role on the bench, he scored a crucial 16 points, in the final moments of the game, it was Hill who made four free throws to ensure the team's victory, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 93-87, in the third game, Zach Randolph became the one who left the game, he hit a key three-pointer with 41 seconds left in the game, directly killing the game, and in the fourth game, the Grizzlies relied on the performance of nine people to score 8+ to defeat the Spurs with a score of 104-86, The fifth game was the most intense match between the two teams in the series. With 13.8 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Randolph hit a shot to help the Spurs take a 3-point lead, and then Ginobili slipped the baseline and successfully returned 2 points, Bonner immediately fouled Randolph, Randolph made two free throws to maintain the difference at 3 points, Ginobili hit a magical shot, he shot a long two-point shot with his body off balance in the right bottom corner, Randolph hit two free throws again, and with 1.7 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Spurs still trailed the Grizzlies by 3 points at 94:97, The Spurs took a timeout and sent the ball to Gary Neal at the top of the arc, who received the ball and dribbled to shoot a three-pointer straight through the Nets! Overtime! In overtime, Tony Parker became the team's offensive center, frequently hitting opponents with unsolvable stop-and-go mid-range, and finally the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 110-103, Randolph scored 26 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Conley scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Gasol scored 11 points and 17 rebounds, while the Spurs' Ginobili shot 10-of-18 and scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, plus 6 turnovers, Parker scored 24 points and 9 assists, Duncan had just 13 points and 12 rebounds, while George Hill had 12 points.

In the sixth game, on the home court of the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies did not give the Spurs any chance, and under the leadership of Randolph with 31 points and 11 rebounds, they defeated the Spurs 99-91, thus defeating the Spurs 4-2 and completing the fourth team in NBA history to complete the Black Eight miracle.

In this round of the series, the aging Duncan was obviously unable to limit the Grizzlies' interior double bears, which was the main reason why the Spurs were eliminated by the Grizzlies.

The baby's heart is bitter!

In the 2011-2012 season, the core players of the Spurs Duncan, Parker and Ginobili all missed many games because of different injuries, Parker played 60 games, Duncan played 58 games, and Ginobili only played 34 games, serious injuries to the core players led to the team had to carry out large-scale reinforcements, Patrick Mills, Danny Green, Stephen Jackson, Boris Dior, Kawhi Leonard five main players joined the Spurs during this period.

Mills has good three-point shooting ability, but other aspects of ability are average, only 183 cm tall also makes him a big colander on the defensive end, Danny Green actually joined the Spurs last season, but he only played 8 games for the Spurs in a season, and then was cut, Green sent a text message to Popovich late at night,

Teacher, I know my potential, please give me another chance.

It was through this kind of brazen self-recommendation that Popovich signed Green on a ten-day contract, and then he worked as hard as he could, and this season Green played a huge role in Ginobili's absence, averaging 9.1 points per game plus 43.6% three-point shooting and good defense made Green another successful 3-and-D player for the Spurs after Bowen.

Steve Jackson was traded from the Bucks by the Spurs with Richard Jefferson plus a first-round pick, and I think a lot of people read this and suddenly thought, oh, by the way, the Spurs not only have GDP, but also small forward Richard Jefferson in previous years, in fact, this is the impression that Jefferson gave the Spurs, he never played the expected performance after coming to the Spurs, not that he didn't play well, but he didn't have a brilliant performance, after all, He has a contract of 10 million US dollars in his hand, which is also sad to say, this season Jefferson gave up his annual salary of more than 20 million US dollars in contract, and let the Spurs bring in reinforcements, in order to have a championship ring, this ass has not been hot, but he was traded by the Spurs, in exchange for Jackson is a veteran of Popovich, and his understanding of his tactics is enough, this is an advantage, but helplessly Jackson is 34 years old, a game is really not long, the Spurs began to look for starting small forwards all over the world, It wasn't long before their eyes were fixed on the 15th rookie in the first round in 2011, Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard is a freshman at San Diego State University, has gained a lot of fame in the division but the overall popularity is average, and the draft is still at the bottom of the lottery, the scouting report of the year said that Leonard will only eat on his body, and he doesn't dribble well so he doesn't have much lethality to break through, and his super big palm also makes his shooting not very stable, (when Leonard's hand is fully open, the distance between the tip of the little finger and the tip of the thumb is more than 29 centimeters...... If you don't have an idea, how big is that ruler...... ）

The template for Leonard's draft that year was Gerard Wallace, and the lower limit was Trevor Ariza, which means that he gave the potential to develop the best direction of development is a 3D player who can shoot good defense, but everyone, except for the Spurs, ignored one final factor, that is, character.

Leonard has a dull personality and facial paralysis, and has the same urine sex as Duncan, but in private he is very competitive, he spends all his free time on training, the Spurs exchanged George Hill, a short guard who has played a high price, for Leonard, and gave Leonard a press conference on the first day, fifteen minutes, remembering to ask him five questions, and his answers were all yes,

"Oh."

"Oh."

"Oh."

"Oh."

"Oh."

Then he hid in the training gym and sweated like rain.

I don't need to repeat what Leonard has achieved since then, but I need to say that there are more than 400 players in the league, and if you count temporary workers, it is thousands, no matter who you are, success is bought with countless sweats, and there are no shortcuts.

Boris Dior is also an important player for the Spurs to strengthen this season, Dior was bought out by the Hornets this season, and then accepted a two-year bid contract worth 9 million from the Spurs, Dior has a feeling that cannot be described in words, although his weight is naturally fat, but he plays extremely flexible, can break through, can shoot, can pass and grab rebounds, McDice announced his retirement after this season, Dio's joining is the most suitable supplement for the Spurs team.

In addition to the five players above, the Spurs also selected Canadian guard Corey Joseph with the 29th pick in the first round at the rookie conference, although the latter has not had many opportunities with the Spurs this season.

This season's Spurs have gathered the four monsters on the basketball court, the Megatron League, what? The four monsters? Don't tell me you don't know, it's the stocky rebounder - Dejuan Blair, the tall and thin long-range shooting king - Matt Bonner, the hook old man - Tim Duncan, the nimble dead fat man - Boris Dior......

It's a feeling that only people who play a lot can understand in seconds......

In the 2011-2012 season, the Spurs and Eastern upstart Chicago won a 50-16 record, entered the playoffs with the first place in the West, and played the Jazz in the first round. In the second round, the Spurs faced the Los Angeles Clippers, led by Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, who sent 4-0 again, and the Spurs easily made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals, but this time they were in trouble.
