beast basketball

It was full of noise, like the bubbling Arco Arena full of fiery and passionate release. Countless kings threw popcorn in their hands, drank coffee like fine wine, hugged with people they didn't know, and screamed. Shouts, whistles, and roars resounded throughout the Arco Arena.

94 to 93, the Kings have gone through all kinds of twists and turns, and finally won a victory. If Duncan's free throw is more accurate, if Tony Parker can make a layup in the end, if the last rebound is not grabbed by Wells, Maybe all of this will be another result. In short, the Kings won a long-lost playoff victory, and the Spurs have all retired to the locker room at this time.

No wonder the fans of the Kings came to be happy, because the victory of this game was really not easy. The scores of the two sides were entangled until only one minute and two seconds before the end of the game. The Kings just took a three-point lead. The Spurs The team first made a quick two-pointer, and then defended against the Kings' offense, leaving 14 seconds of attack time for the Spurs. Unfortunately, seeing that the victory was in sight, the Kings players ran desperately. Action and defense prevented the Spurs from scoring, and finally dragged on until the last two seconds before Tony Parker got a chance to shoot, but unfortunately he didn't make progress.

At the critical moment when the team was chasing points, Stephen sat quietly on the sidelines, without any grievance or dissatisfaction in his heart. Since the head coach Popovich did not put himself on the court, then failure and victory have nothing to do with him. All you have to do is wave the towel for your teammates.

In fact, Stephen is still unwilling, but Robert Horry persuaded to learn to accept the feeling of sitting on the bench to watch the game, because no matter what position you are in the team or what level you have evolved, even if you have a heaven-defying talent Skills, you must also learn to rest, learn to watch the game off the court, and learn to accept failure.

It doesn't matter if the Spurs lost this game. It's not a tiebreaker, and it's not a critical moment in the finals. If you lose, you lose. Just look at Popovich's deployment. Popovich I have no desire to win.

And as a player, you must learn to protect your body. No matter how good your physical fitness is, you can’t play all the games. After all, not everyone has Chamberlain’s body, and it’s not so good now It's time, and the intensity of the competition now is much higher than that of that era.

You must learn to choose, and at the same time, you must also learn to adjust your physical strength and focus on the game, and use your limited energy to more critical places, just like Jordan. Jordan's desire to win is unmatched. Jordan's physical fitness He is also exceptionally good, and his status in the team is beyond doubt, but even Jordan sometimes sits on the bench, but when he is on the bench, he is always observing the situation on the field, thinking How to attack, how to break the opponent's defense, and how to win after he is on the field, this is the key factor for Jordan to win.

Originally, Stephen was a little annoyed at being pushed to the bench so hard. If it was normal, even if he couldn't play in the fourth quarter, Popovich would definitely replace himself in the final few minutes of the decisive game. After all He is still very sure about his hard attack inside. After listening to Robert Horry's experience talk, Stephen lost all his thoughts, and just sat there and watched the ball with peace of mind.

After watching for a while, Stephen saw that Michael Bibby was almost unable to run and lost his sight when shooting, but he still had to stay on the court. He didn't leave the court for a minute in the whole game. It turned out that the coach relied heavily on the players, but seeing that Michael Bibby was so limited in physical strength and had no performance on the court and still had to stay on the court, Stephen felt that what Robert Horry said was quite reasonable.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Michael Bibby didn't make a single shot, didn't have an assist, didn't have a single rebound. Apart from scoring a point with free throws, the only contribution to the statistics was two turnovers, but even so, he still Adelman continued to stay on the field.

If it weren’t for the fact that Astertai and Wells are still relatively strong and confident in their offense, the victory of the Kings might be ruined by Michael Bibby. The little old man who looked benevolent and upright no longer had any affection.

In this game, Duncan scored 29 points, twelve rebounds, and six blocks, but he only made five of nine free throws. Especially in the fourth quarter, he missed none of the four free throws, but no one made them. Blame Duncan, the game is like this, the players are like this, there is no player without weaknesses, Duncan's free throws are the same as O'Neal's free throws, including Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard, Tyson Chandler, these free throws are not accurate.

So it’s normal to lose the game, no one will blame anyone, why don’t you shoot more accurately, why don’t you grab that rebound, why don’t you prevent the opponent’s foul, this kind of accusation will never appear, as long as Players don't slack off on the court, don't play negatively, and play hard, so they won't be blamed.

Since there is still a game to be played here, the Spurs just returned to the hotel and began to take a good rest. However, even after being enlightened by Robert Horry, when Stephen lay on the bed, his heart was still full of today's substitute Appearing on the stage, this kind of obvious punishment really made Stephen feel very uncomfortable.

Stephen can understand Popovich's approach, and knows that Popovich has always been strict in managing players. Stephen also knows the mistakes he made, but a young man, if you let him accept this punishment calmly, then he is not Young people, but veterans and veterans like Robert Horry and Van Exel.

After thinking a lot, Stephen fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, Stephen dreamed that he was in a strange team. Whether it was the stadium above his head or the teammates around him, they were all very strange, but no matter how hard Stephen tried, he couldn't see clearly. The color of the jersey on his body, and none of the people around him knew it.

This is the team I have arrived at. At this moment, the current DJ is shouting the names of the players one by one, and the surrounding teammates walked out from the aisle one by one to accept the cheers of the fans. Slowly Only Stephen was left alone. At this time, Stephen's name was finally called. When Stephen stepped into the field with light steps, he heard thunderous cheers and applause from the audience.

Stephen only saw that the stadium was very luxurious and packed with dense fans, but Stephen couldn't think of what kind of stadium anyway. With such a high attendance rate, the team's performance must be good. When Stephen thought so, The dream came to an abrupt end.

When Stephen woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day. Since there was a game last night, there was no training scheduled for this morning. The training will be held in the afternoon. Stephen doesn’t have to get up early. Oberto, who is like a pig, Stephen didn't wake him up, but he wondered in his heart, Oberto only played for a few minutes last night, is he so tired?

When playing an away game, the team will arrange different rooms for the players according to their status and seniority in the team. Players with high status or senior seniority can live in single rooms. Generally, only two or three people in a team can live in single rooms. Enjoy, the only people on the Spurs who can live in a single room are Duncan and Robert Horry, even Tony Parker and Ginobili have to share a room.

Stephen just joined the team this year, so it was naturally arranged to sleep in the same room with someone who just came this year. Van Exel was originally arranged for Stephen, but because Oberto and Nesterovic lived in the same room During the interview, he reported to the team that Nesterovic snored particularly badly in his sleep, which affected his rest. In the end, he switched Stephen and Oberto into the same room.

As an Argentine, Oberto, although he is led by teammates like Ginobili, is not as fast as a local player like Stephen. His body is one aspect. He is not good at communicating with his teammates. Nobili mixed together is also a very important reason.

Especially inside players, they can cooperate better only if they have sufficient communication with their partners. However, since Oberto speaks Spanish, he learned a little Greek when playing in Greece, but he is not very good at English. , so he doesn't like to communicate with his teammates very much. He proposed to change the room because he wanted to change with Ginobili, but the team is trying to solve the problem that he can't integrate into the team. How can he let him and Ginobili One more piece.

Oberto is a very qualified inside blue-collar player, especially in terms of his attitude towards the game, which is far from what Nesterovic can compare. Oberto, who has just entered the NBA, naturally has a different attitude towards the game, but due to various reasons such as language, culture, and game rhythm, Oberto's integration into the team is very slow, even with Ginobili Help doesn't work either.

Originally, according to Popovich's prediction, he planned to replace Nesterovic in the middle of the season, but because he was unable to integrate into the team for a long time, and he couldn't bear Nesterovic's lack of effort. , so I replaced Nesterovic with Muhammad, but Muhammad's technical style is not suitable for matching with Duncan, which is why Duncan's performance declined in the second half, because he put too much energy into defense above.

However, in the second half of the season, with the further improvement of his body and his gradual integration into the team, Oberto's performance has improved a lot. Now his playing time has been comparable to that of Nesterovic, and sometimes even There will be a little more. Seeing Oberto, Stephen suddenly thought that changing to a new team does not seem to be so easy.
