I am Really an Insider

The San Antonio Spurs are very different from ridiculous teams like the Trail Blazers.

Looking at the team's style of play and simple black and white main colors, you can tell that this is a simple, serious and disciplined team.

As the Western Ivy League, the Spurs have not fallen out of the playoffs for 15 consecutive seasons since Tim Duncan arrived.

The most exaggerated thing is that Duncan is still in his rookie season until now.

It can be called the number one pick with the highest cost performance in history.

Although for many teams, reaching the playoffs for 15 consecutive years is a quite exaggerated achievement.

If the Knicks can reach the playoffs for 15 consecutive seasons, New York fans will not be mad at their players at home.

But the Spurs' goal is not just that, the old thief Vic is the one who wants to do big things!

The playoffs are as normal to them as eating and sleeping.

The goal of San Antonians has always been to win the championship!

The last time the Spurs won the championship was in 2003.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost 10 years.

But just talking about 10 years seems a bit pale and insignificant.

But if you think carefully about what happened in 2003, you can deeply feel how big a span of 10 years is.

In 2003, Wayne was still an international student who appeared to be playing in the NCAA, but was actually studying for a diploma because of his lack of basketball talent.

In 2003, Ginobili was called the Pampas Eagle instead of the Condor.

In the summer of 2003, LeBron, Wade, Angua and others were still waiting for their fate to come.

Ten years ago, I didn't know you, you didn't belong to me.

The last time the Spurs won a championship was so long ago.

In the past 10 years, the Spurs have actually not been completely without opportunities.

In the 2004-05 season, the Spurs, who were at their peak, fought their way out of the Western Conference, entered the finals, and were aiming for the championship.

However, the old thief never imagined that that damn rookie forward would actually help the Pacers overthrow Duncan at his peak.

And in that year's finals, the Spurs also lost Bobo, who was the core of perimeter defense.

At this point, although the incomplete Spurs can still reach the playoffs every year, they are no longer a championship-level team.

In the past few seasons, the Spurs, who had begun to transform, went through a period of pain and were once eliminated by the Grizzlies in the eighth round.

The old thief could only watch as Wayne, whom he hated the most, became bigger and stronger in the league, taking away the position of the No. 1 PF and taking the throne of the No. 1 player in the league.

Finally, after swallowing his anger for so long, the old thief finally got the chance to take revenge!

When the team selects Leonard, when the team's transformation is completely successful.

This year's San Antonio Spurs, in the eyes of the veteran Vic, are back in contention for the championship!

The Spurs' record since the beginning of this season seems to prove this.

After today's victory over the Sacramento Kings, the Spurs are already 5 wins and 1 loss this season.

In this game, Duncan efficiently made 9 of 12 shots and scored 23 points. He also blocked 5 risks and beat Cousins.

On the other hand, my cousin, as a center, made only 4 of 14 shots in the game. Out of Duncan's five coins, his cousin has three dollars to himself.

When Duncan blocked the shot, it felt like he didn't even jump at all. He just raised his hand and shouted "Come on" and the shot was blocked.

He is worthy of being the first person to block shots while standing.

The Spurs are inside, crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

There is Split, the number one defender, and Tim Duncan, the number one shot blocker.

Also sitting on the bench was Dior, the first person to touch height in slippers.

To sum it up in one sentence - there is no normal one!

Duncan's recovery is undoubtedly a key factor in the Spurs' ability to return to the championship.

So in the press conference hall after the game, reporters were waiting for the No. 21 rookie to make his debut.

They have many questions to ask Duncan. After all, in the next game, the Spurs will face their biggest opponent in the Western Conference this season!

After eating so many spicy dishes, Duncan himself must also want to try the team's quality with the Trail Blazers.

After waiting for a long time, the reporters finally arrived for the No. 21 rookie.

Duncan walked in expressionlessly, but perhaps because he was too tired, when he was going up the steps, he accidentally tripped.

He was about to fall down, and some reporters could even imagine Duncan's embarrassment after falling.

but.

Ha, just kidding.

Who is this idiot? Is it so easy to get tripped up?

Old Dengtou quickly put his hand on the ground and stabilized his center of gravity.

But due to inertia, he was still rushing forward.

So Duncan straightened up, jumped up and made a shooting motion.

It creates a feeling of "Hey, I did this on purpose to tease you."

He is worthy of being the number one striker in history, how clever he is!

After a series of sexy moves, Duncan sat down on the chair calmly, his face expressionless, as if nothing happened just now.

Reporters:

Can reporters not know Duncan's little thoughts? You and I have no grievances, so why treat us like fools?

Duncan explained with practical actions what "as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

Although there was a hiccup when Duncan came out, the press conference soon got on track.

"Tim, in the next game you are about to face the Trail Blazers, who have won five games currently. Do you think the Spurs can threaten the defending champion?"

"We'll work hard, that's all I can say."

"So, facing Wayne in the next game, do you think you have the ability to perform like today?"

"What kind of performance? What's Wayne's current level? It forces Garnett to play on the bench like this.

He is a top superstar with an annual salary of more than 20 million.

And I only signed a three-year, 30 million contract with the Spurs this summer. How can I compare with others?

All I want is not to be beaten~"

Duncan's joking answer made the reporters laugh. He is indeed a jokester who was delayed by playing basketball.

However, it can also be seen that although the enemy is present, the idiot's mentality is still very relaxed.

He doesn't forget to laugh at himself and make everyone laugh in front of a strong enemy. He is a high-quality idol.

However, his coach Vicki is different.

"Haha, win? Don't think about it. My only hope is that the players can play the entire game safely and no one will be hurt.

After all, everyone knows who Wayne is. "

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was angry.

I don’t know if the old thief’s conscience will hurt when he says this.

Well, if there is no conscience, it won’t hurt.

"I am full of confidence for the next game. We are on the right track this season. If nothing unexpected happens, we can still wrestle with the defending champion."

The old thief is mocking Wayne both inside and outside his words. He can't help it. Not only has his own players been beaten by Wayne, the old thief has also been beaten by Wayne!

Not to mention, he was almost beaten by a Blazers assistant coach a few years ago.

Sir Bar: I'm not, I didn't. I just wanted to go up and reason with him. He fell down on his own.

The old thief's hatred for Wayne never needed to be concealed.

Half an hour later, Wayne, who had just defeated the Clippers, heard reporters relaying what Popovich said at the press conference.

Wayne was shocked after hearing this. He was so shameless as an old pigeon that he could say such a thing, right?

Although the Spurs have been unable to compete for the championship in recent years, they rarely do anything harmful to nature, and they seem to be whitewashed.

Many media have begun to boast about Spurs culture and Spurs spirit.

But others can forget, but Wayne will never forget.

If it weren't for the body of steel protecting him, Wayne would have been crippled by the Ghost-footed Bao.

Just say this to the old thief, the Spurs are gone!

"What else can I say? Someone like Popovich is qualified to speak nonsense at a press conference, and it's shameless!"

Wayne naturally didn't tolerate the old thief and started to attack him directly.

The old thief is still very famous in this beautiful country.

No matter it’s Nacha or Mousse, when you see him, you have to call him Lao Immortal or Lao Shuai.

After all, seniority is here. You don't care whether they really admire you or fake it, but you still have to give face to your elders.

Therefore, basically everyone in the entire league must respect the old thieves.

But Wayne doesn't care about that.

how?

Being a head coach in the NBA doesn't give you a salary or honor, right?

It's just that I treat others in their own way, are you so arrogant?

According to me, Godway, you only deserve shit!

Wayne responded directly to the old thief, which naturally made the old thief who was used to being held in the palm of his hand furious.

Before the game even started, things started to heat up between the old thief and Wayne.

Not to be outdone, the old thief gave a strong reply to Wayne's disrespect: "Wayne doesn't even understand the most basic respect. How can such a person be so good?"

Seeing the scolding war between Wayne and the old thieves, the most panicked person was Spurs assistant coach Budenholzer.

Vicky, Vicky, you look cool when you curse, but you look really embarrassed when you use me as a shield every time!

Budenholzer is really convinced. When did he play against Wayne and you weren't hiding behind me?

Holzer is hopeless, and he is probably thinking about changing to another team.

At least, if you coach in other teams, you won’t be used as a shield by the head coach.

Being a coach for the Spurs is a high-risk profession.

Cherish life and stay away from Vicki!

Amid the war of words between the two sides, on November 10, the Trail Blazers faced their strongest opponent so far this season.

Wayne's expectations for the Spurs are very high. If he can't even get rid of the Spurs, then he won't be able to trigger the "Blessing of the Beep King" badge this entire season.

Although Wayne is looking forward to this game, for outside fans, the appeal of this game is very average.

The reason is simple, the dog thorns are so strong that they are not obvious.

At first glance, it doesn’t look like there are as many superstars as the Lakers and Heat.

It's not like the Clippers built an alley-oop city.

Since there are no stars and no exciting scenes, such a team will naturally not have much appeal in the eyes of fans.

However, these are just manifestations.

Before the game started, everyone on the Trail Blazers was still very happy.

Hardy yelled in the locker room, arousing everyone's emotions.

Wayne now knows how the Nets struggled with the Heat to the end last season.

I won’t say it’s hard to say, but the emotional appeal is indeed strong.

So much so that when Curry came on the court, he and Hardie tried the opening move of hitting the basketball hoop with their heads.

To put it in tough words: "A really tough guy, you have to use your momentum to scare the opponent from the beginning! If a warrior goes to the battlefield and doesn't even have momentum, he will be dead sooner or later! What is the most powerful? Hitting the head against the basketball hoop is the most powerful!"

How could Curry, who had always fantasized about being a tough guy, stand up to this deception, so today he decided to work with the tough guy to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum!

Seeing the tough guy and the elementary school student clicking against the basketball hoop, Wayne felt that he was starting to become out of tune with the group because he wasn't cool enough.

Hardy and Curry actually got together, can you believe it?

At first, Harde thought he would be miserable in the Trail Blazers.

Good guy, I realized when I came here that I felt like I was going home!

It's okay now. Hardy and Curry are cross-infected.

The old thief Vicky almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Hardy and Curry banging their heads against the basketball hoop.

This is not just two idiots.

The Spurs are different. We are very disciplined and all our players are.

"I heard you are very brave. Come on, let me touch you. Come on, let me touch you."

At this moment, Duncan's shout with a lewd smile came to the old thief's ears.

When he looked up, he found Duncan staring at Ginobili and reaching out his hand excitedly.

"Oh, no, Brother Deng, no!" Ginobili hurriedly ran away, even though he was already bald, he still refused to let go.

Old thief:.

"Hey, prepare carefully, gentlemen!" The old thief was so angry. He just said that the Trail Blazers were all crazy, but here comes Duncan and Manu.

Shame on you!

Although the old thief tried to stop him, Duncan still looked unsatisfied.

Just as he was about to extend his claws to Manu, the referee blew the whistle and signaled the starting players of both sides to take their positions.

Shi Fo glanced at the referee, and then his obscene smile suddenly disappeared and became expressionless.

Tim Duncan is in form!

"Listen, this year's Spurs team is very strong. We have to take it seriously and play at a high level, you know?"

On the other side, Wayne reminded his teammates.

Although Wayne really wants to take advantage of the Spurs, in the final analysis, winning is the most important thing.

Wayne admits that he can't beat others, but if he loses for a fucking reason like underestimating his opponent, Wayne will be pissed to death.

"Understand!"

After everyone responded, Wayne led the kindergarten children onto the court.

The Spurs' starting lineup this year is similar to the starting lineup of the peak Spurs in Wayne's mind.

Point guard Parker, shooting guard Belinelli, small forward No. 2 with facial paralysis, power forward No. 1 with facial paralysis, and center Split.

Because Green was on Wayne's side in this history, the Spurs signed Belinelli a year in advance to serve as the second shooter.

Before the game even started, the old thief Vicki was walking around on the sidelines.

Today's game is going to be won by the old thief. Only by winning against Wayne can he be able to dampen his arrogance.

Let Wayne see the consequences of being disrespectful to an old timer!

"Can I sit back?" Budenholzer stood beside the old thief, desperate.

It's normal for a head coach to go back and forth on the sidelines, but have you ever seen an assistant coach go back and forth with him? ?

"Go back? What will I do if you go back?" The old thief quickly took Budenholzer's arm.

This was really PTSD caused by Wayne's treatment back then.

At the start of the game, the Trail Blazers took the lead in getting the ball.

Curry spit out his braces and went up. It can be seen that the elementary school student is really like a superstar now and is 100% confident.

Wayne stood outside the three-point line, ready to respond. Today, it may be difficult for primary school students to do whatever they want.

In the original history, the defense of this peak Spurs was simply Green and Kawhi shooting from the outside + Duncan and Splitter protecting the frame inside.

So much so that even with Parker as a colander, this defensive system can still make the Spurs' defensive efficiency rank first in the league, which shows their defensive ability.

Today, the Spurs are missing Green, but Kawhi is still there.

Moreover, the offensive threats at the second and third positions of the Trail Blazers are relatively average to be honest.

Not to mention Tony, whoever guards him will be the best defensive player, even if he keeps a clean sheet against Tony.

At the third position, Matthews, including Green and Thompson on the bench, are also off-ball shooters. Most of them perform the task of catching and shooting after moving, and they are average threats with the ball.

So there is no need for a particularly strong defensive player, Belinelli is enough.

It is precisely because of this that the Warriors dare to sign a defensive sloth like J.J. Redick to play the second position.

This is called prescribing the right medicine.

But the Italian cannon is better than Redick on the defensive end.

Although limited by his physical fitness, he is indeed not a defensive champion.

The great thing is that he is active enough in defense, and because he is a position-oriented player, he is very good at judging the opponent's position without the ball.

Therefore, even if there are no double ghosts hitting the goal, even if there is only one Kawhi left, the Spurs' defense is tight enough for the Trail Blazers.

The elementary school student called for a pick-and-roll, and Gasol quickly put it up.

Just when the primary school student thought he could break through easily, Split quickly blocked the hole of the gun.

Curry did not hesitate and returned the ball to his sister-in-law who cut in.

But Split quickly turned around and followed up, without giving Gasol a chance for a layup.

At this time, Leonard and Parker also completed the defense change.

Curry faced a rock-solid, expressionless monster with long arms and big hands.

Parker went to defend Tony. One of them couldn't attack and the other couldn't defend. A negative made a positive.

Matthews waited for the opportunity to start, slipped the baseline and ran to the other side.

But the Italians followed closely and Gasol had no passing route.

Seeing this situation, my sister-in-law decided to fight alone!

My sister-in-law should say it or not, although she is older, her craftsmanship is still there.

A footstep and a fake shot under the basket actually teased the Brazilian.

An ordinary person would be unable to bear such teasing from his sister-in-law.

But Split the toothpick raised his arms high and pressed against his sister-in-law, not moving at all.

One jump and I lose!

Really. Stand and guard against being the best in the world!

In the end, my sister-in-law's hook came out of the frame under Split's defense. The Spurs' defense in the first round was a great success.

Split's defense is to stand under the basket and pester you.

No matter how good your fake moves are, you can fly up, but he won't move.

Even if you do take action, he won't necessarily jump, he will just raise his hand to interfere.

Once, he defended star fourth positions such as Aldridge, Randolph and Driver to the point of scolding.

When he first watched the game, Wayne, who had little talent and little knowledge, felt that this guy was of little use.

But in fact, he has been one of the few reliable inside partners in Duncan's career.

After guarding his sister-in-law, Parker got the basketball and rushed straight away!

After all, this is a French sports car. As soon as it catches the ball, it puts the gear into gear. Whoever applies the brakes is the dog!

How have the Spurs transformed over the years? Just switch to the offensive rhythm.

The previous Spurs offense mainly relied on the half-court position, making full use of every 24 seconds, controlling mistakes, making the game dull, defensively rigorous, and low scores.

At that time, the core of the offense was Duncan, and Manu and Parker were just assistants.

In the first two seasons, the old thief adapted to the changes of the times, speeding up the team, increasing the number of game rounds, focusing on transition offense, with Ginobili as the core.

But the effect is average, because Manu's stability and physical fitness are big problems, and he is still more suitable as a sixth man.

So this season, French sports cars have taken over. Compared to Manu, Parker has a stronger ability to control the rhythm and has a more stable offense.

Although his scoring explosiveness is a bit worse than Manu's, his victory lies in his ability to win every game.

One thing that many people tend to overlook is that Parker was the undisputed tactical core of the Spurs at their peak during this period.

He is the team's scoring leader and assist leader. He can be the end point of the offense, the starting point of the offense, and the organization point.

Duncan? Just like Wayne, just a defensive blue-collar guy~

To put it bluntly, during this period, Parker led the team to bring the Spurs back to the top.

It's just that because the Spurs are generally a team-based team and everyone's performance is relatively average, the value of Parker's core is underestimated.

With Parker around, the Spurs can switch rhythms at will between run-and-gun and positional offense without making mistakes.

This time, Parker seized the opportunity and made a quick attack.

Leonard set up a screen for Parker, but Parker did not accelerate toward the side with the screen, but rushed toward the side without the screen.

Curry just took a step laterally, but Parker changed direction in a big arc and walked to the pick-and-roll side again.

Being shaken like this, the primary school student was immediately passed through.

Parker got inside, faced Wayne who had returned to the basket, and made a change of direction to the right.

But Wayne had just taken steps to move, and Parker suddenly shifted his weight to the left and passed Wayne at an extremely fast speed.

At that moment, Wayne felt as if Parker had turned into a black shadow, and then flashed next to him the next second.

The state of French sports cars this season cannot be underestimated.

On this shot, Parker directly shook off Wayne, the two-time Defensive Player of the Year, and then hit the board with a high throw for a layup.

Wayne actively jumped up to block the ball, but his fingertips were just a hair’s breadth away from the basketball.

The beautiful counterattacks instigated by Parker were completed again and again!

"Tony Parker, a beautiful layup, he used continuous rapid changes of direction to get rid of Curry and Wayne!

Did you see how he passed Wayne? God, there aren't many defenders in this league who can score against Wayne! "

Wayne picked up the basketball on the ground and shook his head.

The pinnacle Spurs deserve their reputation!

but

This is just right!

I, Godway, can finally show off my ability as a star player!

Mousse can handle the team, what can't I handle?

Old thief, watch your move!
