Chapter 830 Popovich's distress, Adelaide who is still abusing food

After sending off the Grizzlies, the Bulls ushered in the Spurs again. Under the leadership of Anthony this season, the Spurs have made great progress. Of course, apart from Anthony, Parker, Ben Gordon, and Bynum, they can achieve the sixth place in the Western Conference.

Although Popovich, an old man, has no way to continue to be Duncan's licking dog, he may be able to keep Bynum, a little shark, from falling. In the next few years, the Spurs will still be very competitive. However, the only thing that makes Popovich worry is that the contracts of these players are about to expire, such as Anthony.

The latter came to San Antonio with the bird rights, but Popovich didn’t want Anthony’s maximum salary. It’s not that Anthony is not worth the price, but that after giving it, Holt has no way to renew the contracts of Ben Gordon and Bynum.

However, Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, simply didn't follow his set.

"Greg, although what you said is very reasonable, but I have to consider it for my employer, so Cameron must get the maximum salary. This is beyond doubt. Don't take other players as an issue. Those people have nothing to do with Cameron or me. Since we have played the data we deserve, we should get the compensation we deserve."

Anthony ushered in the pinnacle of his career with the Spurs this season. Popovich did not limit the number of shots Anthony took as he did with Duncan. In fact, the two never played against each other in the elite competition.

Of course, Popovich allowed Anthony to take so many shots. There is no way. There is only one Duncan in the NBA. A perfect team player like Duncan is very rare. Apart from Duncan, Li Lei is the only one.

So Popovich will not use the standards of this historical player to ask for an All-Star player. This is why Popovich is better than his two teachers. Don Nelson and Larry Brown, one is too idealistic, the other is too stubborn, so their achievements are not as high as Popovich in the historical space. .

The Spurs are currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference. Most of the reason is due to Anthony. His lethality at the third position is much stronger than the previous Spurs, so it is impossible for Popovich to trade the opponent before and after the All-Star Game. But if there is no trade or renewal, the latter will leave in the summer.

Popovich was very painful, but the process of the game was acceptable to him as the Spurs' meritorious coach. Anthony played well against Granger or Azubuike in this game. The sharp knife in the offense, mixed with Li Lei during the Bulls period, Li Lei can take him to supplement defense or something, but when it comes to the Spurs, he is the boss, everyone else is mixed, and Ben Gordon is also a defensive colander. Parker and Bynum's defense is not top-notch, so the Spurs can rank in the Western Conference playoffs, largely due to their offense. The team with the lowest-rated finals in seven games.

In this game, Anthony scored 43 points on the offensive end. Granger and Azubuike combined to score 20 points. It can be said that they were beaten by Melon on one side. However, on the other end, Aldridge also beat Finley. Hub, I'm afraid his life will come to an end here.

In this game, whether Li Lei faced Udoka or Parker, he played very easily. He scored 20 points and 20 assists.Popovich left Chicago with a gloomy face, while Zen Master is full of joy. He has not played the triangle offense at all in the past few seasons, but he is still winning championships. This feeling is really cool. Cardinal Auerbach has been tied by himself.

The three championships he won with the Bulls were all done lying down. Not only was he relaxed, but so were other assistant coaches. The old Winter no longer needed to study who was the core of the triangle offense. Because of the existence of Li Lei, there was no need for a triangle offense. Every time he passed the ball, he could easily tear apart the opponent's defense.

This is much better than the constant rotation of the triangle offense.

After playing the Spurs, the Bulls challenged the Bucks away. This game is not back-to-back. The Milwaukees have completely given up this season. They want to hit a good pick. Whether it is Duncan, Chamberlain, Oden of the Olajuwon complex, Nowitzki, Yi Jianlian, Xiao Du of the McGrady complex, or McConley, another successor of Li Lei, can be used as the core of the team.

So in this game, both sides were cleaning up from the bench, but it was still the Bulls who had the last laugh. Aldridge faced a soy-sauce homeless guy like Bryan Skinner. The Raptors have been in dire straits.
