NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

Chapter 113

Chang Tiancheng is usually a relatively introverted person, he will keep any thoughts in his heart, and he will not say them generously like this, but in the face of Popovich today, he directly said what he thought in his heart.

"I guess I'm inspired by seeing Wembanyama's performance on the field." Chang Tiancheng thought so in his heart.

"Hahahaha!" After listening to Chang Tiancheng's words, Popovich was stunned for a long time before he finally began to laugh out loud, "Okay, okay!" Often! Of course I believe you.

After speaking, Popovich patted Chang Tiancheng's shoulder hard: "Thiem also helped the team win the championship in the second year after joining the league, and in five years, he helped the team win three championships." It was a hard journey, but I really didn't think it was difficult to win the championship. "

Coach..." Chang Tiancheng looked at Popovich and blinked, he didn't expect that the old Popovich still had such a strong heart in his heart.

"In '13, we lost to the Heat, and the atmosphere was a bit frustrating at first, but we picked ourselves up quickly and we decided to get what we lost back. That's why we were able to show such a strong fighting spirit in the second year, and in the finals, it only took four games to win the championship trophy.

Popovich began to recall the Spurs' previous championships to Chang Tiancheng, and finally concluded: "Chang, I have always emphasized that a championship heart is very important. As a professional player, if he thinks about playing all day long, mixing salary, and working hard to improve the data in the contract year, then he will never get a real championship. Chang, I'm glad you can have this kind of thought.

"Don't worry, coach, I'll keep this kind of spirit going all the time." Chang Tiancheng was also a little upset by Popovich's words, and immediately patted his chest and assured.

Popovich nodded: "The world says that when people are old, they have no heart. But if that's the case, then how did Tim, Manu, and Tony get their last two championships? Therefore, age is just an excuse, and those who really want to win, no matter what age they are, will go all out.

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a burst of shouts from the audience, so the two of them moved their eyes to the arena in unison.

Although I couldn't see what was going on, fortunately, there was a wonderful replay on the screen at the top of the court, it turned out that Wembanyama grabbed a defensive rebound, and then took the ball to the front court by himself, and then used a crotch dribble past Holiday on the outside, rushed into the interior and completed a shocking dunk against McGee who was chasing all the way!

"Oh my God... He's got a long arm.

"The most terrifying thing is not his physical talent, but that series of dribbling movements, is he really a man close to 230 centimeters?"

"It seems that there has never been such a number one person in the history of the NBA."

"Yao Ming seems to have had a similar dribble before."

"Porzingis is a bit like him physically, but not exactly, and Porzingis doesn't have the same speed as him."

Listening to the discussion of the fans at the scene, Popovich said to Chang Tiancheng with a smile: "Fortunately, we won the champion lottery at that time, otherwise the popularity of our team is not expected to be so high now."

Chang Tiancheng quipped: "Coach, what do you mean by that?" I think if you let me take my brothers to play small ball for a season, then my popularity will definitely not be low.

"You know, fans nowadays are actually a little tired of the small ball fast break." Popovich knocked Chang Tiancheng's head, "I don't believe you look at the MVPs of these seasons, are they all interior players?"

Chang Tiancheng thought about it carefully: "It seems that it is really like this for a while." But is last year's MVP also considered an interior player?

"What nonsense?" Of course, Popovich knew that Chang Tiancheng was ridiculing Embiid's style of play, although he himself agreed with what Chang Tiancheng said, but as a coach with a long reputation in the NBA, he couldn't take the initiative to say these things, not even agree. Otherwise, if you are photographed by someone with a heart and spread it on social media, it will ruin your popularity.

When people get old, they have to take care of their feathers.

As he spoke, Wembanyama hit another three-pointer, and the score in this game has reached 40 points.

"Chang, it looks like you don't have a chance to play in this game." Popovich accosted Chang Tiancheng again.

"That's great, I can get some rest sooner." After Chang Tiancheng finished speaking, he leaned back directly on the chair, causing Popovich to knock him on the head twice.

As Popovich said, Wembanyama led the Spurs to beat the Mavericks directly in the third quarter, and successfully scored his 50th point in the fourth quarter, setting a new career scoring record.

In the post-match interview, when the reporter asked Wembanyama what he thought of his 50 points, Wembanyama glanced at Popovich next to him a little mischievously, and then said with a smile: "I think I may have to have another muscle that I don't know which muscle starts to tense in the next game."

This answer sparked laughter from reporters at the scene, and Wembanyama cleverly avoided the problem of "the Mavericks' poor defense" with humorous expressions such as telling jokes and jokes.

"Coach Popovich, what do you think of the emotional problems of your players?" A female reporter stood up and asked Popovich questions.

Of course, this female reporter was actually found by Popovich in advance, and this question was naturally designed in advance.

Popovich took the microphone and began to memorize the answer he had prepared for a long time: "I heard about this, according to our team's understanding, Chang and his girlfriend have known him for many years, and his girlfriend has not been easy to be with him all these years. Now that Chang has finally played out, I think this is the gift of fate to this couple, and I also believe that their relationship will get better and better.

After speaking, Popovich did not forget to add: "Of course, although our team will not interfere with the player's private life, we will still ensure that it will not affect his game state because of this incident." "
