There are many reasons why this year's Spurs did not show the dominance of last season in the previous games, according to most public opinion or experts, this is only the team with the most player turmoil among all teams in the league this season, and naturally it needs a longer run-in time than other teams, so it is reasonable that this team is not limited to not being outstanding in the first part of this season.

And this is still no other way to avoid the Spurs, but, also for the Spurs, in addition to the players need to run in, the most important point of this team is how to solve the relationship between Kidd's original point guard Parker, because of Kidd's arrival, almost everyone will know that the young French boy will become a very tragic substitute, which is almost everyone can expect, after all, as far as the current league is concerned, There's no way to make a top-10 star like Kidd a player off the bench.

In this case, when Parker was the logical substitute this season, the former Spurs' starting point guard did not perform well, which also made the Spurs' second team another shackle for the team. Parker didn't play well in the second team, not just because he wasn't good enough, but at the moment the guard has clear characteristics, good breaking, good passing, poor shooting, and in this situation, there will be a lot less options for this player to lead the second team, and the opponent will play a lot more targeted against him.

Although in terms of style, his current style is not much different from Wade, the backup guard of the Boston Celtics. But in terms of dominance, he is much worse than Wade. In addition, this player is not a player like Arina and Ginobili, and the other players in the Spurs' second team do not have Parker's space to break through the ball, it can be said that the former Spurs' starting point guard can't play his own strength at all after playing off the bench, the offense is very difficult, and the pass can't find the passer, and it is precisely because of his difficulty that the Spurs have been lacking a breath after the new season.

Originally, for a manager of Popovich's level, he should be able to do well and be able to quickly make the team run in place. And Kidd and Duncan are also the kind of players with a high ball quotient, and they also have an innate advantage in this regard, but in fact. As long as Parker doesn't find his new position, then it will be difficult for this team to fully run in, which is why the Spurs have dragged on for so long, after all, Parker is not a player of the level of Duncan and Kidd.

But there is no doubt that the outside core of the Spurs in the previous two seasons is impossible to be abandoned by Popovich in terms of ability and potential, and in such a situation, the Spurs naturally have to find their place for the team's former starting point guard, and until now, when Parker has found his place on the team. The team is also starting to slowly get up. It's just that Zhuang Fei was surprised not that Parker found a position to survive with Kidd, but that Popovich's arrangement for the former Spurs starting point guard made Zhuang Fei a little unsure of what to say.

Because Parker's technical characteristics are to break through the offense with the ball and the basket is very average, this also makes it difficult for him to play after he has no ball, which is why most people think that Parker must play as a substitute when Kidd goes to the Spurs, and in fact, for this almost iron-like thing, Popovich did the same in front, but Parker's bench effect is too inferior, without Duncan's cover, his breakthrough is easy to be strangled, and he can't score and pass and can't find a target. Now that the Spurs' second team doesn't have three-point maniacs like Stephen Kerr and Stephen Smith, Popovich can only change in this situation.

And his change is what Zhuang Fei saw in today's game between the Spurs and the Celtics, the head coach of the Spurs threw Parker into the small forward position, let Parker play small forward when attacking, and also sent the team's starting small forward former Celtics' all-round outside Eric Williams to the bench lineup, although Eric Williams is not an opponent at all compared to Parker in breakthrough and speed, but he is much stronger than Parker in scoring means, and he is proficient in breaking through shooting defense. It's fair to say that this is a player who can play as the sixth man.

Of course, for Zhuang Fei, if only Popovich promoted Parker to the starting point to play small forward or scoring guard Zhuang Fei would not be too surprised, after all, this is also one of the options that can be had, after all, the Spurs' starting point guard Kidd's defensive ability can be well defended from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position, and the team's scoring guard Ragabel is also a player who can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position. This also allows Parker to play the team's No. 3 position without worrying about the team's outside defense, so this is an option, and there is nothing strange about it, and what really makes Zhuang Fei strange is that this Spurs actually played the King's Princeton in Parker's part.

In this game, the Spurs' starting small forward ran through the back door under the cover of Duncan, as if the Spurs' head coach had begun to move in this direction, although such a Princeton is a small range, and because this team has such an empty position as Kidd, their Princeton and the Kings are definitely different, and the most different is naturally Parker and Bibby, although the roles are the same, but one is a playmaker and the other is a small forward, Parker's speed advantage at the small forward position is far greater than Bibby's speed advantage at the No. 1 position, which also makes the Spurs' new starting small forward look easier to cut in and get rid of.

And the Spurs no longer need Parker to organize the ball, Duncan and Kidd are fully able to do all this, and in fact, it is the battle between the Spurs and the Celtics in this game, the Spurs' tactical rotation is very good, the positional relationship between Parker and Kidd and Duncan is handled very well, and because Eric Williams went to the second team, the team's second team is no longer as weak in scoring as before, which is also the reason why this team has slowly risen in recent times. In addition, in addition to the team's use of Parker, Zhuang Fei is also very concerned about the change of Popovich, as the coach learns from Princeton's use of Parker, now Zhuang Fei can clearly see that the current Spurs have begun to change compared to before.

The Spurs, who have been the league's best defensive team for the past few years, have been trying to dominate the offense, and now Popovich has begun to try to win the game with offense. The head coach, who failed last season because of his defense, is starting to change himself, why did the Spurs lose last season? Naturally, as many experts say, last season's Spurs couldn't control the Boston Celtics' 1-4 tactics and Arenas on the defensive end, and there was no Boston Celtics' offensive power on the offensive end, in this case, the team would naturally suffer a fiasco, and for the Spurs, their defense last season was already extremely good, and there was not much room for improvement, and if they continued to study defense, even if they could improve, it was not the Celtics' right.

In this case, the Spurs may also have to start studying their own offense. And when this team has two players, Kidd and Duncan, they don't have too many problems playing offense, these two can completely copy the original combination of Nash and Garnett of the Timberwolves, one is the engine and the other is the axis, and in fact, now the Spurs are using Kidd as the offensive engine and Duncan as the team's offensive axis, and solving Parker's problem is just an insignificant aspect of Popovich's re-examination of his offensive system.

Popovich has begun to examine his previous basketball philosophy, just like Zhuang Fei has changed his defensive philosophy now, although Popovich looks like it now, is it a step slower than Zhuang Fei, but he has not been left behind too much by Zhuang Fei, and at present, in terms of level and realm, the head coach of the Spurs is still on the same level as Zhuang Fei.

Of course, although Zhuang Fei and Popovich are still head coaches at the same level in the realm at present, there is no doubt that the current Spurs are still slightly inferior to the Celtics, which is also another willingness for the Spurs to lose to the Boston Celtics in this game, not only because this team is the second game of the away back-to-back game, of course, for the Spurs, they can rise to become one of the strongest teams in the league when they have just found their new position. It's also a big incentive for the future of this team, and unlike this team, the Eastern Conference Wizards have a different model.

The Wizards have their own positioning, whether it is losing to the Boston Celtics or losing to the Grizzlies in the previous two seasons, this team has never wanted to change its positioning like the Spurs, for D'Antoni he began to move towards a path like Adelman, they fixed their system and positioning, they don't want to change everything, they want to fill their own inherent system and positioning with the right players, and when these players retire or leave, and they can't find the right players to supplement, Their system and position will collapse completely, just like the current king. It's just that at this time, although the Wizards also have player problems, such as Hamilton wants to leave, Jordan is already on the verge of retirement, but a little luckier is that Nash is still normal.

But even so, on January 23, Boston hosted the Wizards, who only had some internal worries, and the final score was 120-110, and the Celtics won at home to make their twelfth consecutive win of the new year. (To be continued.) )
