When I turned around, I found head coach Popovich standing at the door with a kind face.
San Antonio is a small city, and its success as a strong team depends on Popovich, who was previously the general manager and is now the head coach.
It is true that Admiral David Robinson also deserves credit.
The admiral was well-informed and sensible. He was selected as the top pick and served in the army for two years. After he came back, he kept his promise and in one year, the Spurs, who were at the bottom of the league, took on a new look and became a powerful force.
But no one knows that the person the tough David Robinson admires most on this team is Popovich.
In 1997, Popovich went to great lengths to fight the Cardinal for Deng Dai, and narrowly won the battle.
Duncan was very lucky. He was protected by his general and led by Popovich, and he quickly rose to prominence.
If Duncan hadn't been escorted by the admiral and Bobo hadn't been eager for quick success, given his physical condition, he might have been scrapped very quickly.
Popovich has so many thieves, he knows how to do anything to defeat Duncan.
He is also an expert at searching for treasures and finding lost treasures, turning stones into gold. He has rosacea from the Balkans, has an extraordinary sense of smell, and never follows the rules.
In addition to this year's small sports car, there is also last year's Ginobili. Although he has not yet arrived, Ginobili's ability to be so unscrupulous in the future is firstly due to Popovich's discerning eye, and secondly due to Popovich's
'Broad mind'.
He tolerates players' minor problems.
For example, he has now discovered Tony Parker's jealousy.
"I know your idol is Jordan, and I also heard your father say that the photo of Platini in your home has been replaced by a photo of you and Jordan. But you have to understand that in this league, many things are not the same.
As simple as what you saw when you were a kid."
Popovich said patiently.
"????"
The immature Parker looked confused.
Popovich decided to be a life coach who answered questions: "Do you really think Michael's words are credible? Did he really want Lu Yu, but was hurt by a prickly player like Lu Yu?"
"But that's what the newspapers said."
"Newspaper? Haha, you have to know that Michael is now a hero in the United States. What he said will naturally have a large number of fans to publicize it. The actual situation is that Lu Yu promised the Mavericks and they reached an agreement. Lu Yu thought he
He was going to report to the Mavericks, but unexpectedly he was intercepted by the Bulls, and Jordan wanted Lu Yu to try out just because he coveted Elton Brand of the Bulls."
"ah?"
"Also, do you really think Jordan's comeback is for the American people who are now in a disaster and cannot extricate themselves? No, he has been preparing to come back for a long time, but that incident was just an opportunity, and the reason for his comeback is not difficult.
I guess the owner of the Wizards just promised to give him more shares."
"..."
"Of course, all the players who regard Jordan as their idol hope to compete with their idol this year. You are no exception, and the Manu I selected last year is no exception, but there is one exception."
"Lu Yu?"
"Yes, it's him. He seems to have never regarded Michael as an idol, but as an opponent. I hope you will do the same, otherwise I will be very doubtful when you really face Michael one day.
Can you perform as you should, just like when you first came to the trial?"
"alright, I got it."
Tony Parker nodded.
This summer, a dumbfounded Parker came to San Antonio for a tryout, and his coaches were all former NBA players.
A 19-year-old kid has never seen such a battle before. He was stabbed to the ground and staggered here and there.
It's quite like Mengyi's first game against Croatia, when Kukoc was taken care of by Jordan and Pippen.
Popovich watched Parker's debut and immediately stated that this kid is not good, he is weak and cannot play in the NBA.
Thanks to the Spurs general manager's kindness, he handed Pop a copy of Parker's game video.
After reading it, Bobo opened his eyes and gave Parker a second chance to inspect.
This time Parker did not disappoint. He took out all his belongings. Both Bobo and Buford who were present at the scene laughed. Bobo said that the boy is teachable and he can do a lot with training and he can be qualified to start.
Ma De, cultural people are so shameless, changing their faces to catch up with Sichuan Opera.
But this is a common occurrence for Pop, especially after Ginobili came. Pop often said this to Ginobili: What I said, this young man has always turned a deaf ear to. In the last round, I considered cutting it directly after the game.
He, but the next second, I want to ask Manu what he wants for breakfast tomorrow.
This conversation directly shattered Tony Parker's outlook. The idol he had always been proud of turned out to be just a mortal in the eyes of the head coach.
He is capable of calculations, intrigues, and incompetence and rage.
Could it be that he is the god of basketball only on the basketball court?
He instantly felt that his idol had collapsed.
His mind was in chaos, and what made him even more confused was the words Popovich left behind when he left.
"You can also consider Lu Yu as your competitor, but as you are also a rookie, I suggest you learn his style of play."
Popovich said: "Also, don't have idols. Idols are used to destroy houses."
The locker room was silent, except for the image of Lu Yu playing on the TV, which was still dazzling.
…
Spokane, Lu Kee Chinese Restaurant.
"Jessica, did you watch Lu Yu's game?"
Snoopy asked Jessica while eating the delicious barbecued pork rice cooked by Lu Chaoyang. Lu Ji Chinese Restaurant has become the canteen of "Sport" magazine, and the two of them often discuss Lu Yu's recent performance here with Lu Chaoyang.
"Look, the Bulls defeated the Atlanta Hawks 97:68. Lu Yu scored 21 points and 7 assists. The assists are so much lower than his average assists per game. It must be because the teammates around Lu Yu are not good at shooting."
In Jessica's eyes, Lu Yu's assist data is low, it must be because of his teammates, and it is definitely not because of the coach's arrangement.
Snoopy rolled his eyes: "Come on, the point guard of the Eagles is Emmanuel Davis, a parallel import. Lu Yu will definitely beat him to death... By the way, did Lu Yu call?
"
"Here he comes, he said he would leave for the sea immediately."
"Yes, that's right, I also heard that he is going to sea."
Snoopy nodded in agreement.
Yi Jianlian and Lu Chaoyang, who were sitting at another table, looked at each other. It was obvious that Yi Jianlian was trying not to laugh out loud. Lu Chaoyang couldn't listen anymore and coughed lightly: "Well, the one in China
The city is called Shanghai..."
Jessica: "..."
so awkward.
Snoopy said shamelessly: "Oh, yes, yes, that's the name. Uncle Lu, you are right. Isn't that the name I just said? Then maybe I'm telling you off. It must be like this.
…”
Forget it, I can’t edit it anymore.
NBA is an American basketball league, usually held in the United States. However, in order to expand its influence, NBA will hold games played by NBA teams in countries other than the United States.
The China Competition is held for the first time this year.
On October 13th and October 14th, the NBA China Games were held in Shanghai and Beijing respectively. The two teams were the Chicago Bulls with Lu Yu and the Dallas Mavericks with Wang Zhizhi.
On the bus from Shanghai Airport to the hotel.
"Hey, Wang, is this your country? The fans were very enthusiastic when I just got off the plane. I found that I started to like it here." As the boss of the team, Finley always likes to be a good guy. He will make every team member feel
Comfortable.
"Yes, Michael." Wang Zhizhi looked at the city outside the car window and felt inexplicably familiar.
Although he had only come a few times a year in the past, the last time he came was when we played in the CBA Finals in April this year.
But I am familiar with it, every building and every street is full of the atmosphere of my hometown.
Steve Nash on the side shook Dirk Nowitzki, who was wearing an eye patch: "Dirk, don't fall asleep. You start sleeping as soon as you get on the bus. Get excited, brother."
Dirk rubbed his groggy eyes: "Huh? Have you arrived at the hotel? Oh my God, Steve, I'm so sleepy. I can't even get over the jet lag. Please let me sleep for a while."
"Why don't I feel the effects of jet lag?" Nash also put on a goggle, trying to get back the jet lag.
The two of them are the engine of this Mavericks team.
Finley opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Finally, he found Wang Zhizhi and said, "Wang, you are the host this time. You must take us around."
"No problem, but maybe not tonight. I have an appointment tonight." Wang Zhizhi said with a smile.
"Well, I always want to see my old friends when I get home." Finley understood.
Wang Zhizhi just smiled. He was not an old friend. After all, he and Yao Ming and Hu Weidong were teammates in the national team, but when they came to their respective clubs, they were rivals in the past.
As for Lu Yu... he is a new friend.
At this time, the Chicago Bulls players also got off the plane. Many fans came to the airport to greet them. When they saw them walking out of the aisle, there were bursts of shouts. Especially the fans who called Lu Yu's name the most. After all, this is China, Lu Yu
Yu is the most popular star here.
Lu Yu would occasionally stop to take photos with the fans, and occasionally say a few words to the fans around him.
The fans were surprised to find out that Lu Yu spoke Mandarin so well?
Artest looked at the group of muscular men around him, and then at the little girl next to Lu Yu. He walked to Lu Yu, pulled him out of the encirclement, and quickly escaped to the bus to receive them.
He said in an envious tone: "You are really good at women."
"Actually, the two of us can debut as a group, and the name is Handsome Group."
Lu Yu didn't blush when he said this: "My name is Handsome..."
Silly Tai was stunned and asked: "What about me?"
Tyson Chandler answered very smartly from the side: "You are called a pusher."
Silly Tai: "..."
As soon as the bus arrived at the hotel and his luggage was put away, Lu Yu took out his mobile phone and dialed Jessica's number. Since coming to Chicago, he has often called Jessica. Maybe this can alleviate the guilt in his heart.
"Are you here? I'm in class." Jessica's voice was very low. Lu Yu could imagine her huddled under the table and carefully answering the phone. Snoopy had already issued a warning at school.
Everyone should not have any ideas about Jessica, because Jessica has a boyfriend. Some classmates have seen Lu Yu and Jessica walking side by side in school, and they all speculated whether Jessica's boyfriend was
Lu Yu, it’s just that no one can be sure.
"We're here, I missed you."
"You will use sweet words to coax me." Jessica was still happy in her heart.
"I am in China now. I am far away from you, and I miss you even more."
Lu Yu told the truth, he really missed Jessica. The two talked on the phone for ten minutes, and then Lu Yu dialed Anne Hathaway's number again and repeated what he had just said.
As for Scarlett, just send her a text message.
It’s not good to have many girlfriends because it costs money on phone bills.
After making the call, Lu Yu received a message from Wang Zhizhi: "Come quickly, Brother Hu and Brother Yao are here and waiting for you."
