Legendary Basketball Tycoon

The last player in the West is undoubtedly the San Antonio Spurs. This team does not explain. When David Robinson missed the first six weeks of the season due to a back injury, the Spurs were 3 wins and 15 losses. General Manager Popovich fired Bob Hill as the general manager and personally served as the head coach. The Spurs are full of injured soldiers. Last season, four of the top six players in the team missed most of the games due to injuries. Popovich led the team to a record of 17 wins and 47 losses in the next 64 games.

If Popovich’s coaching performance in the following games is like this, then a strong signal to the outside world is that Popovich is not good. Kick away Bob Hill and become the head coach. Now Just this result? Most people are waiting to see Popovich's jokes!

But Bruce knew that if he were to be ranked among the top ten coaches in NBA history, Popovich’s performance and abilities were definitely only under the "Cardinal" Auerbach. He was called "Zhuge Weiqi". I'm afraid that only Bruce knows what's going on.

Despite the poor results of the Spurs now, they are all trying to get the No. 1 pick. Popovich’s coaching ability is undoubtedly. A Tim Duncan can put the Spurs on the fifth in the West next season. , This is definitely Popovich's ability, you must know that this year the Spurs are the worst in the Western Conference. Even if the Superman Jordan entered the league at the beginning of the year, the Bulls were barely eighth in the Eastern Conference. A cornerstone player can drive the team to such a high level. How is this possible? !

Doesn't Popovich have anything? ! You know, Popovich studied under Larry Brown and worked as an assistant for Nelson. These two are both famous coaches! You said he has a lot of stuff.

So you really can't underestimate Popovich, otherwise you didn't see Bruce also count the Spurs in it when targeting the Lakers.

Anyway, the situation is like this. There are mostly famous coaches in the West, so although their team has to put up a bad fight for the No. 1 pick, no one dares to have no bottom line like the Celtics. After all, they will still be in the league in the future. Keep going, don’t you look at the Celtics and they are all unfamiliar ones? I don’t think I can afford to lose this person. Who do you think these head coaches in the West want to do?

...

Although the regular season is over, each team has joys and worries, but one person now has all worries on his face, even anger to the extreme, depending on when it suddenly erupts.

Who is this person, and who else can he be? Isn't it Stern, the president of our alliance!

Since Stern watched the Celtics and Orlando Magic game, the whole person is not good!

That game was simply unbearable to look directly at. The game started, and the two sides directly staged a super ugly battle, because no one wanted to win this game!

The bottom of the nonsense league is that there is a very high chance of being able to compete for the No. 1 lottery. Under such circumstances, who wants to win!

Just because it was Tim Duncan, who could be selected as the "son of the Chosen" for the No. 1 pick, the fans in the Celtics' home stadium TD North Shore Garden Arena burst into enthusiastic cheers, as if they had already won I'm as happy as winning the No. 1 pick, and I'm so happy to lose. Isn't there any shame in this!

Stern watched the game live on TV in the office, angrily, the cup in his hand and the papers on the table were directly thrown on the ground by him!

He also never expected that there would be such a game situation with no lower limit...

The key thing that makes Stern the most unacceptable is that it doesn't matter if you lose a game. It doesn't matter if you play a game. Just look at the fans at the scene and you will know that there are people singing and dancing.

Celtics and Orlando Magic are better, these two teams are clearly aimed at losing!

Stern couldn't sit still completely. He vowed that the No. 1 pick would not give these two teams with no lower limit. These two teams lost the face of the league, which has a great harm to the image of the NBA!

Although he wants to stop this game as soon as possible, how can he stop it? People are playing normally, but the shooting rate is not high. In this game, he can't see any chance of scoring under the basket. These two **** After the team scored and tackled the half-court, they started throwing around. They missed the throw and didn’t even grab a rebound. It’s okay to make a pose, but these two teams just didn’t do it. what!

Fortunately, the game ended relatively quickly. This made Stern not disgusting. The whole game didn't even end with fouls quickly!

But in any case, this ugly game is over. Stern also knows that in fact, these two teams are not the only ones in the league that have no lower limit. There are too many teams who want to choose Tim Duncan, but other teams No lower limit is still a bit limited, they at least have a face, and these two teams don't even have a face.

The Spurs joined the bad team after David Robinson was injured. Such a situation can be forgiven, because the Spurs also took the shots by David Robinson, and there is a reason for them to show bad.

But you don't have a lower limit for a giant like the Celtics. You still let other teams do this. Anyone who is a good seedling can compete with each other, then who will watch the NBA in the future!

Stern felt that he had to do something, and if it was so bad, the league's image would be lost.

Not to mention, in the history of the NBA, there have been many instances of team failures, but no year, as this year was 1997, so blatant and unprecedented.

But Stern also knows that this is because of Tim Duncan. If he is replaced by other champions in the past, there has not been such an unprecedented situation, even in the previous years of O'Neal, even in the upswing of Jordan and O'Neal. Rajuwon was never so crazy at that time!

In fact, as early as 1996, Tim Duncan had already led many teams to smash, and he looked stunned but had superb skills! With an innocent background coupled with a high-level academic qualification, he has an impeccable professionalism with one hand. In his junior year, there was a saying by Tim Duncan: If you run for the election in 1996 (last year), you must be the champion!

"Flying Devil" from Wake Forest University! Tim Duncan in 1997 exploded like a thunder in the NBA! How crazy was it to smash the team to get Tim Duncan?

Tim Duncan is proficient in the offensive skills of the inside line, especially back hitting and flanking ball, and he has amazing explosive power! Before joining the NBA, Tim Duncan was already a skywalker in the air!

In 1997, nearly half of the league's teams joined the army of bad luck, which can be called the largest collective bad news in history. And all of this is for one person-Tim Duncan, the first power forward in history, played for the Spurs in his 19th NBA career, won 5 NBA championships, 2 regular season mvp, and 3 finals. mvp, 15 All-Stars, 10 All-Stars, etc. countless honors. Since Duncan was drafted that year, the Spurs have never missed the playoffs. This is why these teams are crazy about competing for Tim Duncan.
