In the NBA, it is more appropriate to describe the relationship between players and coaches, some players play their basketball skills in the NBA with the "help" of coaches, and some even grow from role players to superstars, becoming the absolute leaders of the team.

Of course, no matter what type of coach you are, most of the reason for a player's success is still on their own, and only the players themselves can really change themselves, just like the players coached by the same coach, and the later development in the NBA league is also very different.

Leonard and Popovich, the relationship between the two of them began with the Spurs trading for Leonard, which once made the outside world think that the Spurs' selection was too hasty, but then Leonard's performance surprised the entire NBA.

Judging from the stage of the NBA Finals in '01 and '014, Leonard's growth gave the Spurs hope for the post-"GDP" era, especially in the '014 NBA Finals, where he did an excellent job of limiting James and helping the team achieve "revenge" and win the final NBA championship.

When the Spurs won the NBA championship in 014, Leonard also won the first Finals MVP of his NBA basketball career.

With Duncandi's retirement this past season, Leonard has carried the banner of the Spurs under the guidance of Popovich, and I am afraid it is difficult for the outside world to imagine that Leonard, a player who entered the NBA in 011, has become the leader of the "legendary" team Spurs.

Parker, Ginobili and Popovich are still the coach's "students", in fact, they are also helped by Duncan, who has just retired, Parker and Ginobili as international players, it is really very rare to be able to play for a team until retirement, at least now it seems that retirement with the Spurs is not going to change.

Parker, a former Finals MVP winner, once the soul dancer on the court, his and Duncan's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation is definitely a beautiful scenery for the Spurs, all thanks to Popovich's courage to use international players, and he is also very good at giving international players the opportunity to perform on the court.

The same is true of Ginobili, an international player who has also been heavily used, despite being in the second round and entering the NBA after many years, is definitely a strong player for the Spurs, willing to sacrifice for the team, he plays an important role on the bench, his appearance is not only an inspiration to his teammates, but also an important player that Popovich trusts.

Curry and Kerr, although the "teacher-student relationship" between the two did not last long, but it was precisely because of Kerr's entry into the Warriors that Curry's unlimited potential was stimulated.

Curry, under Kerr's guidance, and of course the entire Warriors team, has not only developed the ability to blossom on offense, but also improved defensively, which is an important reason why the team has been able to rise quickly, and this momentum will continue.

What's even more interesting is that the other two assistant coaches in the picture, Wharton and Gentry, are now also head coaches of other teams, and Kerr, like his head coach Popovich when he was a player, has passed on his ability to help players to assistant coaches, and this ability to "preach and solve doubts" has been deeply affected.

Butler and Thibodeau are definitely the teacher-student relationship of "Maxima and Bole", Butler was selected by the team as the 0th pick in the first round, and he is also an unknown player in the Bulls, with no special basketball talent, let alone too many opportunities for court performance.

With the trust of head coach Thibodeau, Butler has more opportunities to play on the court, and the NBA has grown at a high rate, winning the Most Improved Player award in the process of his rapid growth, and even fading out as other players have become the cornerstone of the Bulls.

If it weren't for the Bulls' complete rebuild, Butler wouldn't have been traded to the Timberwolves, but that might be a good thing for him, after all, his former mentor Thibodeau has been waiting for him in advance with the Timberwolves, and the two are expected to work together to play a better NBA record.

Nowitzki and Carlisle, both of whom achieved their first NBA championship in the NBA, on the one hand, Nowitzki is a very low-key player, very simple, he is very popular with coaches, and Carlisle is also a head coach who respects players very much.

It is precisely because of the mutual respect between the team's stars and the head coach that the team was able to play an amazing record in 011, began to rush out of the West very unexpectedly, and even defeated the Heat team with the Big Three when it was not favored for a while, and successfully won the NBA Finals.

Although the team of champions in 011 has been dismantled, Carlisle and Nowitzki are still on the team, after all, some players are not up to them to decide, but putting in the effort to fight for victory is what they have always done, and this is the mutual help between the two.

The NBA head coach's teaching to the players is certainly only temporary, and ultimately it is up to the players to act, but if the coach can be extremely contagious, then it is the greatest benefit for the players, and this influence will last and affect the players deeply.

On Teacher's Day, players need to thank the coach, and students need to thank the teacher, but the learning of the teacher's education in the past is only the knowledge that will be learned, and today's learning must be maintained in their own life.

Keep learning, keep the momentum of learning, you won't be tired, if you are afraid of being tired, you may be able to relax for a while, but from the long-term state, giving up will make your life meaningless, because we are not willing to do so, we will definitely thank ourselves in the future!

Eric Spoelstra, 5, sitting in a storage room at the Old Miami Stadium.

As a junior NBA video coordinator, he watches a lot of game footage to evaluate the performance of his players. Years later, he climbed through a mountain of footage and eventually became the head coach of the NBA's Miami Heat.

He would go on to win two more championships in a row.

An inspirational story like this, from a junior video coordinator to a head coach after a year of struggle, may not be repeated now, because the job that Spoelstra did in the first place has been taken over by the computer.

"If an AI is 'fed' with a lot of NBA game videos and is smart enough to understand the game, then the AI has the potential to make great basketball tactical arrangements," said Ben Goertzel, a renowned futurist and principal researcher at the OpenCogAI Lab at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
