Chapter 371 The Undeterred Popovich
5 month 19 day.

The much-watched Western Conference Finals will begin at 07:30 tonight.

Regarding this game, the outside world can be described as noisy.

Although the public opinion is very lively, the final conclusion is still consistent, and the Rockets' good days are over.

Including network orientation, although there are a large number of fans who support the Rockets, they are also self-aware.

However, different from the outside world, the Spurs at this stage are not so easy. They are studying the strategy to deal with the Rockets tonight.

"All of you know that although the Rockets seem to be very lucky, it is definitely not just luck to be able to play at this stage."

"What's more, in our regular season match with them, everyone must have a better understanding."

Gregg Popovich gave the players a rare wind-up and seemed to take the Rockets seriously.

"And from my understanding, the Rockets were not the strongest at the time."

Popovich looked serious, and the players nodded in agreement.

Based on their experience of playing against the Rockets in the regular season, they can be said to be a running-in period at that time.

Today's Rockets, with the lineup running in, the team's twin stars have played an astonishing performance. The combat effectiveness of this team is really strong.

At least they will not fall behind in the core comparison of inside and outside lines.

talking.

Popovich looked at GDP and found that their expressions were very calm, and a smile appeared on the old man's face.

Yes.

The Rockets do have something, but as long as his aces play well, he really doesn't need to worry about it.

What's more, he has always admired his own tactics, and he will have a good fight with the Rockets then.

After the mobilization before the game, Popovich called the assistant coach and asked him to bring the players to adapt to the field.

After the players left one after another, the old man went to his hotel room.

Soon.

As Popovich pushed open the door, what appeared in front of him was not a beautiful woman or anything, but the old handsome RC Buford.

"Greg, you really don't have to worry about Qin Tao's affairs."

He opened his mouth straight to the point, which made the old man unhappy at that time.

"Although we do not have enough bargaining chips, as long as we win over Qin Tao, the transaction may not be successful."

Buford smiled bitterly and said, "I understand your feelings, but our situation is really so..."

Before he finished speaking, Popovich also had a dull expression on his old face.

In a place like the NBA, if you want to get anybody, you have to come up with something equivalent.

Especially in the transactions between players, even if the players themselves and the economic team are settled sometimes, as long as the price tag is not suitable, the transaction cannot be specified.

of course.

Everyone knows what happened to Qin Tao, but basically all managers know who is taking the initiative.

But if you try to win over Qin Tao, then he is not a fool, right?
Let me talk about the team lineup and future development first.

The Spurs do have an undoubted lead.

Let's talk about the issue of trading chips and renewal offers.

Maybe the Rockets accepted the deal with Qin Tao's bargaining chips because of fear, but the league is not a fool.

With Qin Tao's current influence, although he has not yet reached the standard of a superstar, everyone can see his potential, okay?
so.

If they want to get Qin Tao, then the chips prepared by this team should at least satisfy the league first.

Otherwise, if you put on a high hat of black box operation, no one will be able to get better.

Finally, we have to talk about the renewal amount.

Because of Qin Tao's status, he can only sign a three-year Arenas clause like Jeremy Lin and the others.

But don't underestimate this middle-class contract for the first two years. As long as there is a team that goes all out, it can provide players with a contract of up to 4000 million or even higher.

Like the deal the Heat signed Tyler Johnson a few years later.

Although his term is one year longer, the Heat offered him 5000 million, which shows how powerful this kind of contract is.

So regardless of Qin Tao's identity, if you want to renew his contract, you have to show your sincerity.

With the current salary situation of the Spurs, although there is still room for operation, but the cost of locking up the next three years, no one knows what will happen.

After thinking about these things, Popovich and Buford were silent one after another.

But just like the old man's reaction when he saw Qin Tao, it was really impossible for him to stop thinking about it.

But now is not the time to be entangled in this stuff, everything will be calculated after the end of the season.

Simultaneously.

When the old man was thinking about Qin Tao, now he is recovering his strength with his teammates.

"Brother, tonight must be a fight for us."

"If we can't stand it, it will bring us a huge psychological burden."

Harden said with a serious face.

Qin Tao agrees very much: "Our experience and psychological quality are completely incomparable with the Spurs, and what they are best at is letting you watch yourself being grinded to death."

Harden looked solemn: "If we want to break their rhythm, the first thing we have to do is to drive them as much as possible, and we have to pay a lot of energy on the defensive end."

Regarding what Harden said, not only Qin Tao knows it, but this is something that all Rockets members agree with.

And in order to cope with tonight's game, they have been resting these days, while maintaining their state, they also worked hard to improve their physical strength in order to deal with the Spurs.

At first glance, it seems that they are doing the same thing and giving up offense, but at this time, offense is really not the main method. First of all, you have to do a good job of defense.

Subsequently.

The two chatted for a while based on the game and reached some consensus. The next step is for them to adapt before going to their home court.

Very coincidental.

When they entered the arena, it happened that the Spurs were just getting ready to leave.

Seeing his old acquaintance, Qin Tao and the others stepped forward and laughed.

Looking at their relaxed looks, it's hard to see that there is a life-and-death series between them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Tao said goodbye to Duncan and others, and then began to warm up.

at the same time.

When they had a happy chat, the media on the sidelines would never let go of such a good opportunity.

While this group of people were having fun, the mood of the reporters from China before was completely different.

Miss Xiao Wang is like a fan girl, constantly talking about how handsome Qin Tao is.

It's not that this guy is a super star, it's just that his brothers of the hip-hop bigwigs.

Coupled with a large number of superstars and super giants on the Internet, although they are unanimously optimistic about the Spurs, they all blow Qin Tao to the sky. The couple who didn't like Qin Tao last time looked extremely ugly.

But the fact is like this, if you don't recognize the reality, then you have to find two diabetic patients and wake them up.
