The Spurs are one of the most successful teams in the NBA in recent ten years. In the western region, it is precisely because of the existence of the spurs that the Lakers are not alone. It is hard to imagine how many championships the Lakers will win if they are young enough to be sniped by powerful opponents like the Spurs.
It is reasonable to say that the Spurs are in the small city of San Antonio, and no star is willing to join. Moreover, Holt, the boss of the Spurs, is the boss with the lowest assets in the NBA, with assets of $200 million, which is not as high as the salary of the players.
Why does the Spurs succeed in the face of double dilemma?
Here and luck is inseparable, in 1987 when the Spurs won the number one draw, selected David Robinson. However, although David Robinson is the "four centers", he is weak in character and can't lead the team to win the championship. Fortunately, in 1997, the Spurs again won the number one spot, and Duncan was chosen to form the twin towers, so the Spurs' dynasty began.
However, the Spurs can't win the championship in a row every time, which can show how poor the boss of the Spurs is. He can't strengthen the lineup at all, which leads to the Spurs can't win the championship in a row. Even in the past 20 years, there is no transaction that startles the League. In the final analysis, there is no money to trade.
Many people engage in conspiracy theory, saying that the Spurs are too boring to attract the audience. In fact, this is unfair. The Spurs contributed three times when the ratings of the finals were lower than 10.
But it is often said that the ratings of the Spurs and pistons in those two years were not the lowest, but the "future is yours" version 1.0 was the lowest in nearly 20 years, with the score of 4-0. No one was interested in the pure sling.
So luck and the boss are not the most important factors for the Spurs' success, and the main reason why the Spurs can still compete with the terrible Lakers in the West even today is that they have two words: vision!
Popovich is great. There is no doubt about his ability. His choice of players can be called Jordan's best opposite. Since he can't trade, it's better to choose talents from the draft.
Parker, Ginobili, hill and now Leonard can always pick out those potential stocks in the draft. These people are the treasures of the Spurs' draft. If they change to other teams, they can't make these people superstars. Only the Spurs can.
There's no way. Other teams don't have Popovich, the coach who is good at training new players, and the poor management.
The Spurs have also taken a road of their own in the league. In the League full of metropolises, they are undoubtedly a clear stream.
However, now the NBA has changed into a business oriented League. The Spurs can choose excellent people, but they can never keep them. Ginobili, Parker and Duncan are unique. Not everyone likes to sacrifice themselves to complete the team. This will be very obvious in the next few years.
But now, the Spurs West Lake has come to the era of the second rise, this time with the Lakers, it seems that they can also let the upcoming playoffs more confidence.
…
On April 14, the Los Angeles Lakers played back-to-back against Orlando Magic. The magic have been hoping to go further since they reached the finals in the 2009-10 season. They are one of the most active teams in the trading market in these two seasons.
However, the magic management's brain has not been normal, their movement has been very big, but the effect compared with the movement, is absolutely reverse!
First, they got Carter, thought it was no good, and then they got arenas with Carter. When they thought that tekoglu's salary was high, they switched out. After a season, they remembered that tekoglu's role was brought back. This season, they thought that tekoglu was no good and switched out again
Come and go, come and go, magic made a dead circle, Shengsheng made a team that can compete for the championship like it is now.
To be honest, magic is not short of luck. They have more good cards and high ranking rookies than spurs in history. Not to mention O'Neill and Howard, which one is not famous, is McGrady or Grant Hill.
And their luck is inversely proportional to their brain, countless times of coquettish operation and blind trading so that they have not been able to follow further, which seems to be the best evidence of the Spurs management.
Luck is possible for anyone, but the ability to grasp it is not something anyone can do.
Don't believe it?
If you don't believe it, look at the magic!
Now this magic except Howard and Nelson, everyone is different from two years ago, and such frequent turnover makes the magic's competitiveness drop sharply. Last season's first round was cold by the eagles is the best proof, and this season they also take a step back, currently ranked fifth in the East.
The most uncomfortable thing is that the contradiction between Howard's coach and the management has been completely open, and Howard even began to go slow. The abnormal management met Howard with a child's temper, which is doomed to be a battle without winners.
This kind of magic can also scare the fish belly. When they meet the Lakers, they don't have a chance.
The game was dominated by the Laker. Although Howard worked harder than before, it was still useless. After all, the Laker still adopted the chop tactics against Howard when he was in the lead. As a result, Howard scored 6 of 16 free throws in the game, with a moving shooting rate.The Lakers also very smoothly defeated the magic 110-92, and continued to remain unbeaten in April. After the game, Howard almost cried. He complained to the media: "they are leading, and they even have to foul me. Is there any humanity?"
However, for the Lakers, the easier it is to beat the opponent, the better. After all, the playoffs are coming. Why not beat him easily? Besides, the magic will not meet the Lakers this season. The chop Hawkes tactics are so classic that they don't always feel that the season is incomplete.
On April 18, they beat the Raptors in their own home court. This game belongs to Artest. Artest, who didn't go to Toronto last time because of his passport, bravely scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists to help the Lakers win the Raptors 106-96.
Ji Feng's three doubles with 14 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds in this easy freehand game are rare for Ji Feng. Many people ridicule that Ji Feng's bottom line is uncle Kidd.
After the victory over the Raptors, the Lakers have only six games left this season. At present, the Lakers have won 53-7 in 60 games. They are the only team with a record of 50 games. They are far behind the second Western spurs, with a winning gap of 13 games. The heat are also seven games behind the Lakers because of their recent record fluctuation.
In other words, the Lakers won the first place in the regular season six games ahead of schedule, and won the first place in the League for five consecutive seasons.
And they can take turns at last!
"Six more games!" Ji Feng stretched on the bench, he is looking forward to his fifth trip to the playoffs.
