After leaving Phoenix City, the Pistons rushed to San Antonio, Texas, speaking of which, the Pistons had a day and a half of rest, but because the opponent was the defending champion Spurs last season, Larry Brown came to San Antonio first for the sake of insurance, and experienced, this city is not very big, but the basketball atmosphere is very good, and it also has the personal heroism of the Texas Cowboys.

But when it comes to the Spurs, his style of basketball is very different, if not the opposite, from the western cowboy heroism of Texas. And the fans are quite supportive, and it is a truth that victory is the only thing that matters in the NBA.

So as long as the Spurs can always win championships, no matter how ugly and boring they are, there will be people to support them.

When the Pistons came to San Antonio, they felt that this small city was really full of hot atmosphere, and it could even be said that it was evil, which really made Osborne, who came to San Antonio for the first time, shudder.

Instead of doing some regular training with the team, Osborne went on his own solo tour, wanting to experience life in San Antonio more realistically.

When Osborne walked alone on the street, he saw that the people here were very unrestrained, of course, this was relative to the locals or the nearby residents, and the others were quite serious, as the natives here, they would not exclude other people, but it was impossible to want them to make out with other people. After all, people everywhere have a certain xenophobia, and they are all inevitable.

Osborne also went to some small flavor shops to experience Texas grilled chicken and other snacks, after all, Osborne is a real foodie.

When Osborne experienced these, he went to some more famous parks and monuments, in fact, they were all some trees and sculptures, which Osborne was not interested in, the only thing that made him remember was that an infantry training base in the suburbs, it is said that the head coach of the Spurs and the general manager of the old man Zhuge Vic is also from the army.

So you can see some military looks on the Spurs players, basically the core players are all facial paralysis team, not smiling, low-key and calm, thinking of this, I don't know if this is the bad taste of the old man Zhuge Vic, or the need of the game.

Then Osborne wanted to find a place to sit down, consult the system little Lori, and ask her to give herself some accurate information.

The system little Lori also lived up to expectations, and soon found a lot of historical information for him, as well as information about what will happen in the future.

Osborne also looked very seriously, he first saw the history of the Spurs and the owner, but Osborne was not interested in this, so he watched quickly, and then part of it was about the source of the Spurs' competitiveness.

First of all, it is worth saying that the execution of the Spurs is super strong, if the player does not complete the task, then I am sorry, I have to sit on the cold bench, even if it is a core player, so the Spurs players can play, and they can win the battle when they are called, this is the style of the whole army, and since they beat the Big Three of the Heat, after the success of revenge, they were nicknamed the Big 12 of the Spurs.

This cannot be said to be a complete joke, and there is a certain factual basis. Because their performance in the finals is really amazing, except for the 12~13 season, although the finals lost that season, it was also lost after the seven-game game, and if it weren't for the key offensive rebound of the Heat team's cute god Bosh and the three-point continuation of the god pitcher Ray Allen, the Spurs would have won the O'Brien Cup that season.

Although it is a pity, this does not delay their greatness, because their finals win rate is super high, second only to Qiao's gang leader's six wins and six wins, they are six into five wins, from this point of view, their finals performance is definitely a historical existence.

So never take Spurs lightly, never think they're old, as it turns out, they can always succeed in the face.

And Texas has three NBA franchise teams, and it is also a very competitive team to enter the playoffs, which is the same as playing, if that team does not enter the playoffs, it will be laughed to death by the fans of the other two teams, perhaps this is one of the reasons why they have been strong competitive, these three teams are Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs.

And there's a funny conclusion about these three teams, which is the Texas Big Three: the Rockets are strong, the Mavericks are weak, and the Spurs are old, a phrase that has been repeatedly proven in the playoffs.

So the Spurs are very old and the team is careful to get slapped in the face, because every now and then he comes to a championship and makes you collapse.

So why are the Spurs so strong? The very important reason is that the environment he is in is indeed too competitive, and if he is not careful, he may be surpassed by a nearby team, and their basketball tradition is maintained very well, and it can even be said that it has been the same for more than ten years, because the Spurs have been forging a system since Popovich took office, that is, the famous all-for-all tactics, jokingly known as the Big 12 system.

This system has always been based on Duncan as the core, at first it was David Robinson, but since Duncan came, David Robinson has been very generous, focusing on pushing Duncan to the top, and at the end of his career, his generosity also brought him a championship trophy, at that time the Spurs' system was not a typical team basketball, and the twin tower system.

With the retirement of David Robinson, David Duncan solidified his absolute core position, and then the Spurs selected the French sports car Tony Parker, and then the Argentine Manuginobili, so that the Spurs Megatron League GDP triumvirate was combined.

Then the Spurs traded in very distinctive role players through shrewd operation, so that the Spurs continued to conquer the league with GDP as the core lineup.

Until last season, the Spurs won their second championship trophy, and they will also establish an odd-year dynasty in the future, because they are a special team that can't win consecutive championships, but only win a championship every other year, and it's all in odd-numbered years, so they are called odd-year dynasties.

However, now that Osborne is in the league, he has to help the team stop the Spurs from winning the championship and break their so-called odd-year dynasty, because he doesn't want to wait until 13 years for the Heat to break it, and the Pistons are also the losers of the Spurs' odd-year dynasty in '05, which Osborne will never tolerate.

And he is also determined to help the Pistons win the championship in 04~05, because his system has changed, his strategy has to be changed, he doesn't want to be called a slave by the fans, and if possible, it is not too late to build a dynasty team, Osborne thought. (To be continued.) )
