Chapter 299 their respective responses

In fact, for Popovich, who is not young and has been exhausted recently, the noisy environment is somewhat uncomfortable for him.

However, in the face of the noisy players, Popovich did not tell them to be quiet, but watched the scene with a smile.

This is because Popovich believes that atmosphere is the key to a team's success, so he even hopes that there will be more of this harmonious situation, even if he doesn't like it in his heart.

Of course, acquiescence is acquiescence, and some hidden dangers cannot be ignored...

"Boris, are you really just saying that?"

Popovich stared at Dio.

Although Diaw can only be regarded as a role player, Popovich admires him very much.

He has excellent defense, support, and organizational skills, and is capable of playing multiple positions, plus a fairly stable shot, and the most important thing is that he is not expensive.

Such a player is very rare in any team.The only thing that needs to be vigilant is whether he will make himself fat because of indulgence.

"Coach, you know me well, how could I indulge myself at such a critical moment."

It has to be said that facing the old man's deep gaze was very stressful, which forced Dior to express his opinion immediately.

"Think about it, who would have trouble with money?"

Gazing deeply again, Popovich suddenly relaxed and smiled.

Raising his hand to touch the somewhat suffering stomach, Dio also smiled and said: "Yes, I am a poor man, so what if I don't hurry up and save money to support my family."

"Boris, are you still poor? Stop kidding."

"That's right, when I was a guest at your house last time, I saw the cameras in your collection with my own eyes, and each one was more expensive than the other."

"The camera is nothing, did you see the bottles of red wine he hid..."

The pretentious Dior has attracted a lot of condemnation.

And Popovich, who received a positive response from Dior, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, when the Spurs signed with Diaw in view of Diaw's previous record of "indulging" his weight, Popovich led the coaching staff to customize a reward policy for him.

The reward regulations for each season are divided into three stages, simply put: before the All-Star, after the All-Star, and the playoffs.As long as he can stay within a certain weight range, he can get a handsome bonus.

In short, in order to be able to restrain Dior's weight, the coaching team has racked their brains.Fortunately, so far, the effect is not bad.

"Okay, lads,"

After clapping their hands, everyone finally stopped chatting, and Popovich began to announce today's training tasks.

"Our goal today is still team building. Although the result of the last game was very good, but in terms of the process, there are still some problems in terms of coordination, conversion, and other aspects of tacit understanding, so we will first fight in groups."

Just when the Spurs officially started training camp, in a riverside suite at the Hyatt Hotel on the San Antonio Riverwalk, Mark Jackson took the players to watch the full-court video of the first game against the Spurs in the playoffs.

"How about it, which one of you will talk about his thoughts first?"

Putting down the remote control, Mark Jackson turned the chair to face the players sitting together.

"Let me go first, I have a big problem in this game..."

Curry has always been very responsible, and the team has already made it public that he will be the core of the team. In this case, he will naturally be the first to take the blame.

"Stop it, Stephen,"

Waving his hand, Mark Jackson interrupted Curry, looked around the crowd, paused on someone for a second, and then said, "Boys, today I am not asking you to talk about your mistakes or shortcomings, but It's for you guys to talk about the Spurs."

After speaking, seeing most of the players still looked at a loss, Mark Jackson added: "I don't ask you to be able to analyze and judge them as a whole, that is the task of me and other coaches. initial feeling."

After listening to the coach's request, Curry frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he was the first to speak again: "The Spurs players I will mainly face in this game are Mills, Leonard, and Danny Green. To say In terms of feeling, the latter two are just to mark and restrict me, but Mills."

Seeing Curry's struggle and hesitation, Mark Jackson couldn't help but encourage him: "What's wrong with Mills? Stephen, you can just say it straight."

"Although Mills also organizes the offense from time to time, I always feel that Mills is not the core of the Spurs' ball-handling playmaker, or even the second ball-handling playmaker."

Curry's main defense in the first game was Mills, and as a point guard and the core of the team, he was aware of the strangeness of Mills as a point guard.

"well said!"

Mark Jackson nodded in agreement, and this situation was also mentioned in their coaching staff analysis seminar.

This problem is obvious. Mills joined the Spurs in the second half of this season. He performed poorly in the Trail Blazers in the previous two seasons and his skills were not outstanding.

"So, who do you think is the key to the organization of the Spurs?"

This question, Mark Jackson asked all players, he does not want, and will not let Curry alone.

"Maybe it's Yang Ke?"

Thompson was the second to speak, but as a rookie, he was somewhat lacking in confidence.

"No, it's not Yang Ke, it should be Dior."

Unexpectedly, David Lee immediately expressed a different opinion.Although to be precise, he and Dior didn't face each other for a long time.

But his own style of play, and Diaw's own not-so-secret skill set, combined with several impressive possessions, led him to that conclusion.

"I also think it's Dior. The old man has always liked that flexible fat man. He was responsible for organizing and supporting the offense back then."

As a player who played for the Spurs not long ago, Jefferson echoed this conclusion.

At the end, Jefferson pondered for a moment before saying again: "Speaking of Yang Ke, he made me feel like Manu in this game."

"Hey! Brother, stop joking! I admit that Yang Ke has improved a lot, but he is far inferior to that demon sword!"

Nate Robinson was not happy at once. He had fought against Ginobili several times before. Although he pretended to be brave, he was convinced of Ginobili in his heart.

And he also faced Yang Ke once or twice, and had a rough idea of ​​the strength of the two.He thought it was obvious that Ginobili was far stronger than Yang Ke.

"Of course I don't think Yang Ke is better than Manu."

Jefferson shook his head, then turned his head and stared straight at Mark Jackson, and said, "I mean, Yang Ke's position in the current Spurs seems to be that of Manu, in other words, it is a tactical position. "
