From today on is the king

Chapter 1499. Chapter 1498. The Spurs system is here
On November 11th, the Eagles coaching staff called the players together to study the last opponent of four consecutive home games, the Spurs, who have not lost a game so far this season.

The Eagles have devoted themselves to running-in this season. They need to run-in the lineup and maintain their record. They don't have much time to study their opponents. At least they have to wait until they enter the next stage before they have time to pay attention to other teams.

At that time, other teams also showed their own strength. At the beginning of the season, the performance of other strong teams was not very good. The Suns were still ninth in the Western Conference. Their wins were the same as the fourth in the Western Conference.

After getting a little stability in the Western Conference, their performance will be of reference value.

The Eagles have no time to control them. Their own running-in is the most important, because they still have to wait for Wade's expected comeback before the Christmas game in December. Wade has entered the final stage of rehabilitation training. If he passes the physical examination at Thomas Carter next week, he can conduct personal technical training and participate in team training.

Liu Mang knew that the Spurs were winning all the time, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It's normal for the Spurs to win. When Duncan was with them, they could win 16 games even 50 games after the lockout.

But after watching the Spurs game video... Liu Mang's eyes widened!

"Is this... the Spurs system?"

Liu Mang looked at the Spurs' running position, super execution, a lot of misplacements, and the corner shooter has become very important... Even Bowen, who only has a shot left, has his role, and the offensive threat has increased a lot. This is very close to the Spurs in Liu Mang's impression!

Have the fans ever thought that after two and a half weeks of the new season, the only undefeated team is the Spurs?
Liu Mang also didn't expect that the Spurs would turn around this season after being eliminated in the first round of last season!

Stress can be seen as motivation for those with strength and faith.

The Spurs originally needed many years of accumulation to polish the Spurs system in the 10-11 season, but now, they have begun to take the shape of the Spurs system!
With the Eagles, a team with changeable tactics, Popovich also learned a lot.

Thanks to the Eagles almost completing the crazy rule of four consecutive championships, the Spurs failed to win the championship in 05 and 07 relying on Duncan's previous dead grass style of play, which accelerated Popovich's construction of the Spurs system!

Failure to renew Artest was a pain in Popovich's heart, and Battier's addition healed his inner trauma.

In addition, Popovich also signed veteran Brent Barry, Jacqui Vaughan with a career three-point shooting rate of 30.00%, signed Damon Stoudemire, who was amnesty by the Grizzlies, and traded for Trail Blazers.

With Parker, Battier, DeMar Johnson, Duncan, and Fabricio Oberto as the starting lineup, and Ginobili as the core of the bench lineup...

From the point of view of reputation, the Spurs starting DeMar Johnson and Oberto are really not good, and the people on the bench are old and tender...

But relying on such a lineup, the Spurs started their nine-game winning streak!As strong as the Cavaliers, beaten by the Spurs 102 to 82...

The most terrifying thing is that the Spurs averaged 104 points per game this season!
The last time the Spurs averaged more than 95 points per game was in the 96-95 season. After that, they scored 104 points every year. But this season, the Spurs averaged 97.8 points per game, and the average conceded points per game was only [-] points, which was lower than the league average.

The Spurs averaged 21.8 three-pointers per game this season!The number of three-point shots ranked ninth in the league!

Last season, the Spurs were still one of the only two teams in the stubborn league that averaged less than 14 three-point shots per game. Last season, the Spurs averaged 13.1 three-point shots per game, the second-lowest in the league. The most terrifying was the Jazz. Last season, they averaged 12.9 three-point shots per game...

This season, the Spurs' average three-pointers per game have increased by more than 8 times!
Similarly, the Jazz also increased the number of three-point shots, ranking No. 19.5 in the league with an average of 19 three-point shots per game.

Pushed away by the pressure brought by Liu Mang and the Eagles, the two coaches were not stubborn and started to change tactics.

The Jazz started to change because of Ray Allen, mainly based on the pick-and-roll offense. They wanted to change last season, but unfortunately they got Ray Allen in the second half of the season, and there was no time, so they were killed by Iverson in the first round of the playoffs. This season, Coach Sloan integrated three-pointers into the pick-and-roll coordination.

There is Ray Allen not adding three-point tactics... That is a problem with the brain, and Coach Sloan is not stupid.

As for the Spurs...it seems to be a different team. When the second strength ranking of this season was released and the Spurs overtook the Eagles, which ranked first in the first week, to occupy the top of the strength ranking, people began to notice the Spurs.

The fact that the Spurs averaged 104 points per game made the Spurs a rare fire!
Some fans searched for online videos, and some TV stations replayed some Spurs games the day before the Spurs away game against the Eagles on the 14th. Fans found that the Spurs games have become less ugly!

It’s true that there are no superstars like the Hawks, and Duncan’s style of play has become no longer that of a superstar. There is no explosive performance like Liu Mang and McGrady. Even Parker and Ginobili’s performance when they are good is at most similar to that of Jason Terry when he is mad.

The Spurs even had only two players with more than 4 assists per game, Parker averaged 5 assists per game, Ginobili averaged 4.8 assists per game, but Battier, Duncan and Brent Barry on the bench all averaged 3 assists per game!
The Suns rank first in the league with 26.5 assists per game this season, the Jazz ranks second with 26.3 assists per game, the Eagles rank third in the league with 25.5 assists per game this season, the Nuggets rank fourth with 24 assists per game, and the Spurs rank fifth with 23.8 assists per game!
Defense is still the foundation of the Spurs, yes, but they did not press the rhythm as before, but played a very good team offense on the offensive end!

Passing, running, pick-and-rolls, creating mismatches, increasing [-]-point attempts, increasing cuts and creating mismatches to give Duncan and Mahinmi a high kick...

The Spurs have made 30.00% of their three-pointers so far this season, with an average of 8.6 three-pointers per game, all of which are record highs in team history!Especially the corner three-pointer!Bowen, Battier, Barry, Jacqui Vaughn, Bonner...

Except for Liu Mang who was silent on the Hawks side, everyone else saw the video of the Spurs game and cried hell, and also the fans who started to pay attention to the Spurs after the announcement of the latest strength ranking today!

……

……

Looking at the smiling face in front of him, Liu Mang really wanted to ask the waiter to give this guy a technical foul...

So obscene!

Duncan can be said to be proud of himself now!

There are two MVP rankings this season. In the first period, there is nothing about his old Dengtou. In the first period, Liu Mang is first, Nash is second, and Garnett is third.

But in the second period, Kobe ranked first. This Duncan couldn't help it. The Lakers had a five-game winning streak after a bad start, but Duncan beat Paul, Liu Mang, Deron, and Iverson to rank second!

Among the top six in the second MVP ranking, five are guards and only one frontcourt player. Before the season, no one would have expected that this little green insider among thousands of flowers was actually Duncan!
Normally, Duncan rarely asked Liu Mang out for dinner, but this time he came to Atlanta. After Duncan arrived in Atlanta with his teammates at noon, he called Liu Mang and asked him out for dinner.

At this time, the spring breeze is proud, how can you not be smug?
"It's so cheap! What should I do if I really want to hit him? It's so cheap, I shouldn't cry if I beat him!"

Liu Mang looked at Duncan maliciously, wanting to beat this guy up.

Duncan laughed enough, felt the malice from Liu Mang, put away his cheap expression, and asked Liu Mang, "Ace, what do you think of our play this season?"

Liu Mang raised his eyebrows, this guy, let alone talking about it, actually pushed his nose in the face?

Liu Mang rolled his eyes at Duncan and said, "Not bad, quite powerful."

"Of course," Duncan was pleased with Liu Mang's answer, "but it's too difficult. We spent two months memorizing tactical moves during the offseason, and all the teammates who didn't remember them were all traded away, but Greg said that your tactics are the best. He said that your tactical thinking is an era ahead of the league. We must work hard to keep up with your footsteps."

What Popovich said?Liu Mang felt strange and confused. Is this still Popovich?
However, Liu Mang also thought that Steve Kerr's death in the original time and space and the infinite rotation of the fifth team may also refer to the infinite dislocation of the Spurs system. It is hard to say that Popovich did not refer to D'Antoni's running and bombing...

NBA head coaches are hard to predict. Before the Spurs system came out, Liu Mang never imagined that Popovich would put the three tactical concepts of three-pointers, space, and misplacement at the top of the Spurs' offense.

"The Spurs are going to be the toughest opponent!"

"No, no, leading tactical thinking has nothing to do with strength," Liu Mang shook his head, "The tactical thinking that can be played out in the game is the best. You have already played out new tactics, and we are still working on them. You are stronger."

This time it was Duncan's turn and it felt a little weird that Liu Mang actually praised their Spurs!
