Through this incident, Stephen had a deep feeling. Judging by his business sense, it has only been two days since he finished the game against the Rockets. Of course, there is also a reason that after the game, It is already late at night in the United States, and they have already started to rest. It is morning in China. After the reaction is over, it happens to be daytime here. This matter is developing 24 hours a day, but this reaction speed Also fast enough.

Putting aside the matter of commercial endorsement for the time being, Stephen began to put all his thoughts into today's game. Tonight's opponent of the Spurs is the Phoenix Suns. This is a team. After D'Antoni coached, Nash Under the command of the Suns, the Suns are known throughout the league for their run-and-bomb tactics. Few teams can resist the mercury-like attack.

Speaking of D'Antoni, he also has a certain relationship with the Spurs. Strictly speaking, he is also a member of the Spurs. When he was a player, he had a short career with the Spurs, and then he went to Europe. In the European arena, he achieved brilliance and won the reputation of a "gentleman and thief".

After coaching in Europe for a few years, he went to the Nuggets as a coach. Unfortunately, the record was not enough. Then he returned to the Spurs and worked as a scout. After a year as an assistant coach of the Sonics, he arrived The Suns officially assumed the position of head coach, using the tactical concepts he learned in Europe to create such an offensive-oriented team.

In the last season, the Suns achieved [-] wins. Under the leadership of Amare Stoudemire and Nash, the team finally reached the Western Conference finals, but was firmly blocked by the Spurs in the finals. Outside the gate of the championship, I thought that the crazy Suns team would make a comeback this season, but the Suns uniform team first traded Quentin Richardson and Nate Robinson from the New York Knicks for Kurt Thomas, The core of the team, Stedmire, underwent minimally invasive surgery because of knee cartilage problems. He may have to rest until the end of the season, and then another important figure of the team, Joe Johnson, left for Atlanta. It can be said that this Compared with the Suns of last season, the Suns of this season changed three starters at once. Except for Nash and Sean Marion, all others were replaced.

But this season so far, the Suns have a record of four wins and four losses, which is not satisfactory. However, the data of the players who came to the Suns has risen to a certain extent, so some people joked that Nash is a data multiplier. Playing next to Nash, as long as you can shoot, your stats will increase to a certain extent, and then other teams will give you a big contract. As for getting a big contract with the Suns, don’t even think about it. The Suns, The bosses of the Spurs, Clippers, and Rockets are called the four big stingers, and it is not groundless.

This time the coach didn't say anything, and Stephen didn't know what tasks he would arrange for himself, so he specially read the information of all the players of the Suns team. Of course, this does not refer to all players, but mainly refers to outside players. Understand their shooting characteristics and offensive preferences, and they can also be targeted in defense. You don’t need to look at Nash and Barbosa. Stephen mainly looks at forwards. Players on the defense line, such as Lagabel, Sean Marion, James Jones, Eddie House, Jim Jackson.

Lagabel's role in the Suns is similar to that of Bruce Bowen. He is not a big offensive threat, and he is the team's starter, and he has little to do with Stephen. The same is true for Sean Marion, although he is He has the figure of a small forward, but he has to play power forward in the Suns, so Stephen thinks that his main defensive targets should be James Jones, Jim Jackson and others, so he focuses on the three of them.

Especially Jim Jackson, there is even some gossip information on his information. It is said that when he was in the Dallas Mavericks, he, Jason Kidd and Jamal Mashburn were collectively called the Dallas Three Greats. At that time, Jim Jackson could be called In the second season of his professional career, he increased his scoring average to 25 points per game, ranking among the league's leading scorers.

At this time, a pop singer named Donny Braston appeared in front of them. He and Jason Kidd fell in love with this woman at the same time. The competition inevitably expanded from the love field to the court, and both of them chose In the end, the Dallas Mavericks chose to keep Jason Kidd and send away Jim Jackson, and the Mavericks did not keep Jason Kidd in the end.

Since then, Jim Jackson wandered through eight different players in the league until he met his last club, the Rockets. He quickly showed his good form, but due to the conflict with McGrady in the position, he openly challenged the authority of the head coach and the superstar His dignity was exchanged to the Hornets. He was stubborn and chose not to report to the Hornets, preferring to suffer the loss of salary. In the end, the Suns came forward and made a three-way deal to bring him to the Suns.

After reading the story with relish, Stephen suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this guy. He called himself a "vagrant man" and publicly stated to the media that he was familiar with the moving company and was a major customer of the moving company. From his words It can be heard that he also wants to die in one team, but no team can accommodate him. The Suns are already the No. 12 team in his career. The team can't tolerate him, and his own character flaws are also a very important factor.

Stephen thought of himself because of this. It seems that no matter which team he is in, it will not end well to fight against the team. To put it bluntly, the player is just a migrant worker, although there is only one senior worker. When it comes to salary, It's even higher than many general managers, presidents, and head coaches, but what's the use of a high salary, careers still have to be in the hands of these people.

Not knowing if he would be traded suddenly, Stephen glanced at Popovich in the distance. Although the Spurs have a general manager, most of the power is still in the hands of Popovich. Stephen is very good for the Spurs. There is no strong sense of belonging, but being traded to an unfamiliar team rashly is not a good thing for most players.

Generally, the reason for being traded is that the team is dissatisfied with this player. Maybe it is because the ability is not up to the team's requirements, or it is because the character is not obeying the management. What better treatment will there be? Of course, the tree moves the dead and the dead, and it is also necessary for a team to be reborn from the ashes, but that is a very small part.

If you take the initiative to trade, there will be no such problems like Joe Johnson, or after the contract expires and you become a free agent, you can choose to sign with a team in the free agent market. It is best not to be actively traded by the team, which requires I have a good performance and have a harmonious relationship with the coaching staff and teammates.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the Spurs is quite good, but Stephen heard from Robert Horry that some teams are not like this, like the Blazers locker room, it is a mess and unseemly, taking drugs, fighting, picking up girls, Every new player who enters the team has to follow the boss like this, otherwise don't even think about playing.

Stephen really doesn't know what to do if a good kid like him goes to the Trail Blazers, fight to the death, or follow the crowd, I hope the Spurs don't have that idea, and talk to Robert Horry more when they get back, look at the Spurs Does the team have a tradition of making deals with the Trail Blazers.

There are [-] teams in the league, all of whom are distant, close, close, and close. Generally, when doing transactions, teams like to find teams they are familiar with. You have to find out. Which team does the Spurs like to play with? If the team trades, if there is any bad team, you can prepare in advance to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, when Stephen asked, Robert Horry actually told him that the Spurs had no good team at all, because most teams were unwilling to make deals with the Spurs. They don't give money to others, and the price they offer is always just right. It's not a last resort. No one wants to do business with such a person.

When it was time for the game, after Stephen saw the Suns' offense, he couldn't help but exclaimed "wonderful" in his heart. Nash's pass can only be described in one sentence, that is meticulous, as long as you can run out of space and position, the ball will come in an instant, and all you have to do is throw the ball into the basket. For a professional player, there is nothing easier than this.

No wonder the stats of the players who came to the Suns are soaring. With a pass like Nash, if the stats don’t go up, it’s really unreasonable. If I have the opportunity, should I also go to the Suns? For gold plating, scoring average is the key factor in getting a big contract.

Not to mention that Stephen was thinking wildly there, the Spurs encountered such a powerful offensive, even with the Spurs' defensive ability, it was a bit overwhelming, and what made Popovich even more dissatisfied was that the inherent rhythm of the Spurs was driven by the Suns. Fighting and running with others, isn't this using the strengths of the other party to deal with one's own weaknesses? How can this work?

So after calling a timeout, Stephen saw Popovich's yelling skills for the first time, especially Tony Parker, who was so frightened by Popovich's yelling, that Tony Parker didn't dare to say a word, and kept his head down. The head stood there like a stake.

Then Popovich changed his words and yelled at Bruce Bowen next to him. Since the Suns' offense is mainly based on running, his close-to-body combat skills are a bit out of reach. At the same time, his three corner threes None of the shots were hit. After the scolding, only a little more than half a year later in the first quarter, Popovich replaced Van Exel and Stephen on the court.

Even on weekends, I can't rest, and I can't do more if I want to, I'm really embarrassed.
