"Old man, why are you here?"

Almost 30 minutes later, the entire Smoothie King Center Arena was almost gone, and except for some staff, there was only a group of Spurs and a Lin Lei in the entire arena at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jin Feng grabbed the trophy of the slam dunk contest champion in his hand, and came to Popovich with a hippie smile!

Popovich also had a smile on his face at this time, after all, although he believed that his disciple had the strength to win the final championship, but when all this was really realized, it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart.

This is human nature, what team coach is not happy that his disciple won the championship?

"Jin, let me appreciate the trophy"

Simmons took the trophy from Jin Feng's hand and looked at it carefully.

"Jin, congratulations"

Leonard, who was standing next to Popovich and still had a paralyzed face, also showed a rare smile at this time and said to Jin Feng.

"Hmph, isn't it just a slam dunk contest champion? Can you have the weight of a championship trophy? ”

The old man deliberately pulled his face and said.

"Old man, can you not be so shocking? Is it easy for me to win a championship? ”

Although Jin Feng knew that the old man did it on purpose, he also responded deliberately, such a picture is really warm!

"Jin, the All-Star is over, to be honest, you did a good job, but, as a professional athlete, you should understand that we have been working hard for almost a season, what is the final goal? Our goal is to make the playoffs, to make it to the Western Conference Finals, to reach the Finals, to win the O'Brien Cup."

Popovich changed his previous joking expression, looked at Jin Feng very seriously, and of course, looked at Leonard and said.

In particular, Popovich stayed on Jin Feng's body for a long time.

And Jin Feng and they also took a deep breath, yes, the goal of the Spurs this season is not only the regular season, the team's ultimate goal is the championship.

It's not a slogan, if the regular season started, the introduction of Pau Gasol was to make up for the impact of Duncan's retirement as much as possible.

Then, in the middle of the season, with the successful succession of Leonard and the rise of Jin Feng, including Simmons and others, this made Popovich and the management indeed aim for the championship for the season!

…………

"How about China, Jin China, who won two honors in a row during the All-Star Weekend, should we have a drink and celebrate?"

Coming out of the arena, Dejounte Murray looked at Jin Feng with ill will!

"Guys, that's nothing wrong with that"

Jin Feng also had the idea of relaxing, after all, the nerves of the past two days were very tight, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is time to treat himself.

Don't look at the old man who is almost 70 years old, but when it comes to drinking, he naturally doesn't say it.

Among the group, except for Leonard, who did not go, the other Danny Green, Dejounte Murray, Jonathan Simmons, assistant coach Messina, and Lin Lei all decided to play together.

Green, Murray, and Simmons left in front of a car, while Jin Feng, Lin Lei, the old man, and Messina took a car!

To be precise, Jin Feng and their car were self-driving, not a taxi, Lin Lei, a little girl, found a car rental website from the Internet at noon and rented a Ford Yihu directly!

"Jin, about the team's goals for this season, I want to talk to you again"

In the car, Popovich suddenly spoke!

This made Jin Feng surprised, didn't he already say it in the stadium just now? What else does the old man want to say? Could it be that it was inconvenient just now?

"Old man, if you have any instructions, just say it."

"Jin, I have been coaching in the NBA for so many years, and I can also say that I have some experience with some of the NBA models, so now I want to talk to you about the NBA after the All-Star Weekend."

"The NBA after All-Star Weekend?" Jin Feng frowned!

"Yes, you heard the news that the Kings traded Cowson to the Pelicans, right? So, do you know why the two teams chose to trade at this time? ”

Jin Feng is still confused!

"Because the Kings, strategically, have decided to give up this season after the All-Star Weekend, while the Pelicans are hoping to make the playoffs and even go further."

"That said, All-Star Weekend is a watershed moment, the last assessment of NBA teams' strategic goals for the season, either to rebuild, to maintain the status quo, or to make a push."

"So, Jin, what I want to tell you is that the Spurs' evaluation of the team after the All-Star Weekend is to strengthen the existing foundation and then attack the championship."

"Reinforcement?"

Jin Feng was a little surprised, as far as he knew, the 15-man spur roster was already full, could it be a deal?

"Deal? Boss, who is the team going to trade? Jin Feng was shocked!

"Jin, you misunderstood, reinforcement is not necessarily a transaction, in other words, reinforcement has several forms, and what you are talking about is just one of them, and what I want to talk to you about now is another way of reinforcement, that is, self-reinforcement within the team" Popovich looked at Jin Feng with a smile.

"Boss, the reinforcement you are talking about can't be me, right?" Jin Feng faintly guessed!

"Haha, China Jin, that's right, Greg is referring to you," Messina, who was sitting next to Popovich, laughed.

"Jin, so far in the regular season, I think you have almost understood some of the Spurs' tactics, and you have a certain understanding of the playing characteristics of each teammate, in other words, the team's tacit understanding and chemistry have reached a certain level."

"However, you have to know that with the team's current teamwork and tacit understanding, it is not much of a problem to play teams such as the Clippers and Rockets, but once we face the Golden State Warriors, to be honest, we are still a little worse now."

"And the coaching staff and I researched and came to the same opinion that if you want to wrestle with the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, you will be one of the keys to the team."

"Me?"

"That's right, it's you, I have to admit, Jin, your learning ability is shocking, and your growth is obvious to all so far this season"

"Well, as you know, as Tony ages, the backcourt becomes the biggest problem, so we want you to be able to take on more responsibility in the backcourt until the end of the regular season," Popovich said seriously.

"I can score, I can defend, that's my job"

"Jin, once we meet the Warriors, then, backcourt, I hope you can play a more important role, the inside line is our advantage, and the forward line will not let us down"

"It's the backcourt, Danny's three-point shot is seriously degraded, fortunately, his defense is still there, Tony can use the mid-range shot or break through to kill the opponent, but the point of the outside three-point, you must carry it, and, at the same time, your defense of the Splash Brothers is also a focus..."

……………

"Kim, in short, for the next period of time, the team wants you to take your dribbling, outside shooting and defensive intensity to the next level, and you have to play as a championship starting quarterback in the Western Conference Finals..."
