This point guard is great

Chapter 40 Extra Story 1 Okumura's Looking Up (Open Message)

Tim Duncan, if there are so-called perfect players in the NBA, then Duncan must be one of them. If the perfect player is a false proposition, then Duncan should be the player closest to perfection.

No one does not look forward to a glorious life, and no one wants to be a green leaf if he can be a red flower. But a player like Duncan who endured pain, endured loneliness, listened to tactics, and implemented them seriously. From the beginning to the end, he did not change because of his fame.

No, it might be an insult to say that it is rare, this thing should be called unique.

Even if it is necessary to give up the tactical status to a first-year pick-and-roll, as long as this tactic is reasonable for the team, Duncan will execute it without hesitation.

For such a Tim Duncan, Popovich really can't let go. The old thief Popov tried, but it didn't work.

What Popovich is going to do now is despicable, and he is also entangled. After all, Duncan really respects him and treats him as a teacher. What is better for Duncan, Duncan knows, and Popovich also knows.

Therefore, Popovich gave Duncan a chance, which can be regarded as giving himself a chance.

Duncan left, and Popovich asked him to go all the way to Orlando. If he didn't read the newspaper this time, or if he had already signed a contract, then maybe Popovich should really let go.

But I can't tell whether it is regret or luck.

The report came to Orlando at the point of signing, and Duncan returned to Antonio, who had been fighting all the time.

After getting off the plane, Duncan went to Popovich's house, and was told by his teacher that the old thief had been researching reinforcements in the team office recently, which reassured Duncan a lot. At least he was able to go to the team, which showed that the report had little impact on Popovich. Also, Popovich has never seen such a big storm. This little thing is not worth mentioning.

Although he was relieved, but everyone came back, Duncan was going to surprise the teacher Popovich and go to see him.

By the way, I have to buy a gift. Although it feels like going back to my mother's house, it is always bad to be empty-handed. There is a place near Popovich's house that sells very strange fitness equipment. Duncan is going to buy a pair of dumbbells for the teacher.

An hour later, Duncan walked into Center Arena with a pair of gray and distinctive dumbbells.

Duncan has a special status in Antonio, and the security guards were awe-inspiring when they saw him at first, but later, because this guy was too weird, the security brother couldn't laugh or cry when he treated him. Today, Duncan still has a calm and dull smile on his face, but brother, can you put down the dumbbell...

The shape is similar to a normal dumbbell. The lion heads on both sides match the shape of a bunny girl sitting on the lion head. This thing...why can it be made, and who is it going to sell to?
How could there be a strange flower... How could there be a second strange flower that I would buy! ?

Duncan bounced in, and the two security guards were so scared that they almost forgot to 'report' to the top.

When he came to the management floor, Duncan became sneaky because he wanted to give the coach a 'surprise'. When he walked to the door, Duncan heard Popovich chatting with their general manager Lucas. Lucas should not be far away from leaving office, after all, he is old.

The team tradition in a small place like the Spurs is often that the management is not good enough to work for a lifetime. Duncan is also very familiar with him.

Before Duncan pushed the door in, he heard Lucas inside say, "Bobo, you shouldn't have let Tim go. Our style of play is old-fashioned and we usually train hard. It's difficult to recruit. Tim is our only star. Once he leaves, it will be difficult for the team to improve in the future."

Popovich seemed to be still working so late, and the sound of various papers turning came from the office: "Our market is too small, which is unfair to Tim. He has already brought us a championship, and he doesn't owe us anything."

Sighing, the old Mr. Lucas continued: "How about we follow suit and play a new style of basketball, focusing on offense. Anyway, Duncan is gone, and the airs have to be changed. Playing offensive basketball will at least make the audience like it. Today's young people don't like things from our era. In fact, not to mention the audience, our own players don't like it."

Popovich was silent for a moment, with an unconcealable exhaustion in his tone: "You want to say that everyone doesn't like me, right?"

They are all old people who have been in the circle. There are many things needless to say: "The public opinion this time is very fierce, but it is not difficult to get past it. Bobo, what is difficult for us is that there is no future. The market for the Spurs is not big, and our training is several times that of other teams. There are already complaints about it. You are planning to continue to focus on defense next season. Why bother."

"Players want to stand out and get high scores, I understand, but Joseph, for the team, I always believe that victory is the most important thing. If we attack 100 points, as long as we defend them for 90 points and score 11 points, we will win. I know what you say about me, and I know what the players talk about me. Maybe I am wrong, but Lucas, let me be self-willed to the end. If the board of directors fires me because of this, you can tell me and I will take the initiative to terminate the contract."

Lucas was really helpless to this old friend: "You really are, who said anything about you, I just said, you have to think for the players and the audience, our old style is no longer popular, even if you really want to play defensive battles, at least change something."

Just when Popovich was about to speak, Duncan suddenly came in with two weird dumbbells.

"The coach doesn't need to change and neither does the Spurs."

While talking, Duncan put the dumbbells on Popovich's table: "Give it to the coach, and then, uh, I will prove that in the end, basketball is only useful if you win. If everyone misunderstands the coach's coaching method, then I will lead the team to win. As long as they continue to win, they will have nothing to say."

"Well, I'm off to practice."

For Duncan, who was already mildly socially phobic, it was really difficult for him to say so many words at once. After saying this, the big man turned his head and ran away.

Only Joseph Lucas and Popovich were left in the room, after a long silence.

Lucas spoke first: "Bobo, I think we are two scumbags, and you are the worst one."

"I don't deny it, but Lucas, I will definitely lead the Spurs to the pinnacle of basketball with Tim Duncan. When Duncan comes back, I will not let him down."

Rubbing his head with a headache, Lucas felt helpless.

Antonio’s place feels a bit like a larger village. Not to mention the stars in their prime, those veterans and the Knicks can stay in the sunset red nursing home. When will it be our turn to pick and choose, want to sign, want to surpass Jordan, and want to reach the pinnacle of basketball, how can it be so easy.

Not to mention the rookies who crop up like corn every year, they are the "legacy" left over from the Jordan era, which one is easy to match?
In the subsequent press conference, Tim Duncan not only showed the No. 21 jersey he continued to wear and a super long contract, but also spoke publicly.

"As long as Popovich does not retire, I will continue to play in Antonio, and I will continue to win, continue to win championships, until I surpass Jordan, until I become the number one in history, even if everyone thinks we are wrong, it does not matter, because only victory is absolutely right, I will lead the team to win all the time, so, I am justice!"

The idiot seemed to have finished talking for a year at once, and then fell into silent practice again.

He must work harder and work harder to turn the bullshit he blows into reality.
