NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

This 25-point lead is actually uncommon in the Western Conference finals.

Because only the top teams in the league can reach the finals, and they have reached the seventh game of the Western Conference finals, it stands to reason that the Spurs also have the strength to fight.

It is no exaggeration to say that once the Spurs make it to the finals, even when facing the Heat, they have a certain strength to fight back and forth with the Heat.

But who would have thought that this is the case, and it has been considered by the whole world as a top team that has lasted for many years. When it came to the Lakers, especially in the last game, it was actually powerless to fight back.

The reason is that Lin Lei himself is too strong, leading the rectification team and completing the psychological and tactical double blow to the Spurs.

Back in the lounge, the 11 Spurs players were also downcast, looking as if the game had been lost.

This kind of performance of the players, but naturally Vic can't accept it, but he can't seem to think of a better way to arouse the morale of the players.

Not to mention the players, even Popovich himself has made a huge change in belief.

As usual, no matter how much advantage the team is behind, as long as there are Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Ginobili, these three players Popovich feel that they still have the possibility of a comeback.

Even in the previous two years in the face of the Lakers, Popovich felt that the Lakers were just luckier, and the Spurs would always have the strength to fight.

To this day, Popovich even has some doubts about himself. This huge gap is no longer what he can make up tactically as a head coach.

In the end, Popovich couldn't help but look at it, and he didn't even criticize the players or make any tactical arrangements.

Only the assistant coach was there roaring non-stop, hoping the players would cheer up.

When they heard their head coach sigh slightly, one of the Spurs players also felt a little incredible. In their past impressions, Popovich was a very strong and always extremely assertive head coach. .

Including Tim Loyalty, when facing Popovich, his heart is not only very respectful, but also with a trace of awe.

It was not until the assistant coach had arranged the corresponding tactics that Dimudikan silently came to Popovich and asked softly.

"Coach, why didn't you set up tactics for us?"

Looking at Tim Duncan, he looked a little naive, and in line with what he just said, Popovich showed a helpless and bitter smile on his face.

After a while, Popovich said: "Maybe I'm really old, and these things and tactics in the league can't keep up.

Maybe I really want to retire after playing this year, and the life and future of the Spurs will be handed over to you. "

However, after Vic said this, he couldn't help but sigh again. It can be seen that this is not a pre-arranged tactic, but that Popovich really feels powerless to Lin Lei's current strong performance.

After hearing Popovich's words, all the Spurs players bowed their heads, their expressions full of helplessness and self-blame.

It's normal for me not to think that way, after all, the team has fallen at the feet of the Lakers for three and four years in a row.

Since winning the championship in 2007, the Spurs have not reached the finals for a long time.

Although some people said that it was because the Lakers got Pau Gasol in a robbery-style transaction, there is no doubt that the record is there.

This year, it was not easy to catch up with Gasol. When the Spurs even took a 3-1 lead, who would have thought that Lin Lei would stand up again at the last moment.

This was undoubtedly a blow to the Spurs, who had finally raised their morale, and blinded them for a while.

Popovich also felt a bit of burnout in his heart.

For him, it is not a bad thing to retreat bravely now.

You must know that Lin Lei has just entered the league in his first year, and he has shown such strong power and dominance.

He is just 18 years old this year. As long as he stays healthy in the future, it will not be a problem to play casually in the league for 15 or even 20 years. By then, Popovich is estimated to be 90 years old, and it is impossible to continue coaching. of.

Moreover, Popovich's biggest trump card GDP combination has now grown with age and is no longer as stable as it was back then.

In this case, after careful consideration, it seems that there is no hope of a comeback at all.

Just when Popovich was in despair, sitting there, Ginobili and Tony Parker were already furious after hearing it.

That is a deep self-blame, and they have great respect for their teacher.

I also know that Popovich has always been a head coach full of energy, and being able to make the head coach so helpless means that the performance of these players is not good enough, and it is because of their incompetence.

So Ginobili stood up and looked at the players on the scene and said loudly.

"Brothers, we have to die on the field!"
