MM Racing Chapter 183
Chapter 183
At the same time, the Spurs were also preparing intensively.
At least Popovich took it more seriously than before. He found that the Nets, who were going all out, were definitely qualified to challenge the Spurs.
Although the opponent was very young, their level and willpower were really good.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to beat the Miami Heat and break out of the Eastern Conference among a group of strong teams.
"Tony, you should practice three-pointers after the training game. You must put some pressure on Jason Kidd from the outside."
"Tim, Roy is still a little behind you in the confrontation under the basket. "Manu, Vince Carter is very strong, you need to improve your mid-range shots so that you don't break through to the basket and lock you down every round." "Robert..." Popovich made targeted changes and guidance for the players. As a veteran coach and champion coach, he doesn't need any collective efforts. As long as he finds the opponent's intention and thinks about it, he can think of a good way to crack it. This is also the fundamental reason why he is proud and famous in the league. In short, he repeatedly emphasized that the players should not be allowed to take it lightly. The Nets have given him a sense of danger. He has always known that his sixth sense is very sharp, and even with an amateur's perspective, he can see the opponent's huge potential. If the opponent is not the young coach Frank, but the shrewd Pat Riley or the Zen Master Phil Jackson, then the Nets will definitely be the Spurs' mortal enemy this year. In his opinion, the Nets are just a little troublesome now, but not to the point where the whole team must be running and going all out.
He doesn't believe in Frank's coaching ability, and thus sees the overall ceiling of the Nets at this time.
To put it bluntly, their ceiling lies in that young man. In time, he may be able to cover up Duncan's brilliance,
but definitely not now!
He admits that Roy is very talented, but he can't fundamentally make the Spurs helpless.
Duncan's ability to play against him is the biggest insurance in this series.
Popovich knows his favorite disciple Duncan too well, a genius who only appears in decades,
balanced offense and defense, when he appears, nearly one-third of the teams in the league will play badly together just for him.
At least in Popovich's eyes, Roy didn't make all the teams crazy last summer,
otherwise he wouldn't be just the third pick.
Although those top-ranked teams were absolutely blind not to select him, it also indirectly proves that he did not conquer everyone before the draft.
At least many people did not think highly of him, which is the difference between him and Duncan!
Popovich is confident, and the Spurs are fearless when they return to their home court.
June 21
San Antonio is the second largest city in Texas and the seventh largest city in the United States.
SBC Center Arena,
Entering the court, the Nets players were affected by this shocking scene,
The Spurs' home court was obviously specially renovated for the finals, and the black and white color scheme was used in every corner of the audience,
The Spurs' home court decoration wrapped in black and white seemed full of vitality and shocking atmosphere,
The fans' uniform Spurs cheering jerseys made a huge formation,
For fans in later generations, this kind of dress is commonplace, but now is not the later generations. Entering this ocean covered by black and white,
The Nets players' faces changed one by one,
Unexpectedly shocking, the Nets' home court is still the same as before, everyone wears their own clothes, and there is even no support supplies,
It is in sharp contrast to the amazing home atmosphere of the Spurs now.
When the Spurs players stepped into the court, the uniform cheers of the fans in the stands can indeed inspire their own players and at the same time intimidate their opponents,
Obviously, the Nets are now playing the role of the intimidated opponent.
Some Nets players were obviously a little confused amid the thunderous cheers, especially McGinnis. Although he had been to the SBC Center more than once, he had never seen such a big scene. Compared with the Heat's home court, the coordination and planning of the two teams were one in heaven and one in the ground. "Guys, they are just fans. They are wearing cheering clothes. There is nothing to be surprised about. We are going to beat them up here tonight." Kidd's words brought the players back to their thoughts. "Just wear some white clothes. There are still the same number of people. Wearing white will not add thousands of seats. Besides, I think it would be cooler to let them watch the whole game in silence, right?" Carter was fearless of all this. His popularity was higher than that of many teams combined. He was used to cheering and being surrounded by spotlights. When he looked atThese are all minor problems.
The role players were relieved, and the Nets officially started warming up.
Adapting to the venue and the basket is very important for the game.
Judging from the warm-up status, the overall condition of the Nets is OK, and the shooting percentage and the overall appearance of the players are still very good.
Coach Frank standing on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, they have entered the Spurs' home court. Not only the players but also he himself were shocked.
Fortunately, he is old enough and adjusted quickly. In order not to affect the players, he had to pretend that nothing had happened on the surface.
Until this time, his hanging heart finally fell.
After all, he is just a coach, and the players who really need to fight on the court are the players.
Their mentality is the most important!
Fortunately, they won the last game at home, otherwise they would have to bear so much pressure.
There is a high probability that they will be eliminated directly with a score of 0-4.
Frank couldn't help but feel fortunate. The opponent's move was really effective.
He thought that he should let the team try to prepare according to this plan after the game.
The uniform fans and shouts will definitely raise the morale of the team.
Roy kept trying to hook the ball under the basket. His goal tonight was to put more pressure on Duncan under the basket.
It is easier for him to shoot while floating, but it seems that killing the opponent's inside line has a more direct and effective impact on the progress of the game.
The number of fouls is linked to the playing time. If the opponent commits more fouls, he will be timid even on the court. In this way, his teammates will have more opportunities.
Whenever Roy shoots, a large group of fans in the stands behind the basket will boo.
They seem to want to disturb Roy in this way.
However, they underestimated Roy's inner strength. They are all people who have died once, so these small boos are nothing.
But we have to admit that this trick is actually quite damaging. Every player's mental state is different. Many players are afraid of this.
For example, Tyson Chandler in the team, the team has specially arranged special training for him before.
The momentum of the Heat's home court is obviously a little different from that of the Spurs' SBC Stadium.
But Roy has reason to believe that if he is not determined, it is easy to lose himself in these boos.
