Chapter 241 MVP Belonging
In the first Western Conference Finals, the Spurs lost in the end!Lost by 15 points!
Maybe compared to the end of halftime, it seems that there is still progress!

Anyway, this is the decision of the Spurs coach now!

……

"Duncan! We are in the playoffs, we have to play at least 4 games, not in this game, and now we are still in the home of the Lakers, there is nothing in our favor Due to off-court factors, the Lakers’ defensive strength was very strong in the first half! Our physical strength was also consumed a lot! Now we are not very sure of winning this game! What you said about fighting is no longer suitable for us Yeah!" Bobo thought for a long time and said to his core players seriously!
Very reasonable!It is also a very clear intention!I believe that most people will believe such a judgment!

Duncan has no way to oppose the coach's authority!

"In the second half, Duncan, take a break during the offense, David, I want you to replace Duncan and organize the team's offense near the center line! Duncan keeps the basket and defends O'Neal, Avery, I want you to run constantly, Remember to run well with that rookie in 96! You are not old, are you? Sean..."

Duncan no longer remembers what Bobo told him!These tactics are indeed very practical, and they also supplemented the Spurs' first half of the game!But it can be summed up in another sentence, that is, treating the symptoms but not the root cause!This is to expect the Lakers' offense to suddenly be inaccurate!

The Spurs strengthened their defense and changed a lot of offensive methods. However, the Spurs took a negative attitude towards Carter's defense of Duncan. The defense relied more on Duncan!However, can Duncan really limit O'Neal?

Again, the main body and direction of the team are in the hands of the Lakers!The Lakers can do whatever they want?For example, replace Horry to strengthen the offense, such as replacing Mobley and younger than the older Avery?For example... It seems that Hill hasn't been mentioned yet?

However, this is actually a serious distrust of Duncan!Duncan has no sense of agreement with such a strategy!He even developed a sense of distrust towards Bobo!

The current Duncan is only a two-year show!Not a real stone Buddha!Just a player with excellent mental quality!He can't be considered a real professional player!Even if he is one of the top 5 players in the league!

Popo may understand all of this, but he still hasn't really coached really capable and ambitious players!David is more of a character!When he first came to the league, what era was that?Is there anything wrong with him?
But Duncan is a typical representative of such strength and ambition!
In the two consecutive battles of the university!Duncan is the backbone of the team, the cornerstone! Coach Z's style, or something crazy, is that he completely believes in the strength of all the players on his team!You must know that Duncan on defense is an object that all teams are afraid of, and even an object they can do nothing about!
After the end of the first year, Coach Z has already begun to train the players' reflexes and pragmatic players' potential!In other words, it is an extension after finalization!Maximize the potential of all players!
This is also an important reason why the players trained by Coach Z have no time to adapt after entering the NBA, and they are perfectly integrated into the team!Because all players know what to do in their team!In other words, the teams that exchanged these players knew what they wanted these players to do!
They already know enough about what they should do when they are in college!This is the case for Carter in the Lakers. Thomas basically did not restrict this guy's skills. He just polished Carter's arrogance and character and had very little control over his skills!Where's Duncan?The almighty Duncan is the same in the hands of Bobo!

But there is still something very different!Big difference!

That is Duncan is the core of the Spurs!And Carter has only been the core of the university for a year, and now Carter is more of a superstar than a core!The core function is to let the whole team rely on him, just like O'Neal of the Lakers, when everyone's offense has no effect, hand it over to O'Neal, and O'Neal will score!Whether it's free throws or what!
This is trust!
Duncan thought that the past year and the 60 or so games this season were enough to make the coach and teammates believe in him!
But the words of Popo just now have clearly told Duncan that he is not worth the Spurs' bet too much!
Maybe Thomas put too much pressure on Popo!Maybe it's the Lakers lineup that really makes Popo feel powerless!Maybe for most players, Pop is doing the right thing, maybe...

Anyway!In this game, Bobo completely failed Duncan in front of the Lakers!

Don't say anything about coming back to the next game!This is just a matter of winning or losing a game!With a loss of more than 10 points in this game, all teams knew that the Spurs were going to switch to offensive and defensive modes!
In other words, it’s just one sentence without any thought!
The Lakers have a lot of leeway to meet such a challenge!It's even hilarious!They will not have the slightest pressure after this game!All the pressure will be concentrated on the Spurs side!
Everyone believed that the Spurs changed in the second game!All think it will be a success!But there is one thing that everyone has forgotten, or it is interesting to forget!
That is, if the Spurs change, will they still lose?Even lost a little bit?

Then it’s okay to change again?But do the Spurs have such players?is it possible?
You know, the Spurs put all their own, and the Lakers just showed some strength!It's just a simple triangle offense!

……

When many people recalled this round of the game, they thought that Popo made a big mistake in his decision-making in the first game!Otherwise, the Spurs would not have lost the game after 5 games!As a result, in the subsequent game, all the members of the Spurs played to their full strength and lost to the Lakers who were at their peak!

Popovich himself admitted it!Of course, fortunately, Bobo won Duncan's trust in the following games and showed all his strength, even David's playing time reached more than 40 minutes!This kind of thing finally moved Duncan, and Duncan didn't leave because of this incident!

This is also the reason why the Spurs won a game!

Later, when the Spurs finally won the championship, Pop finally admitted that Coach Thomas, who had disappeared from the NBA, had given him a lot of help. After that season, Pop changed a lot, in terms of cultivating rookies. He quickly became famous in the league!

It can be said that he will be Coach Z's most important opponent in the future!It can be regarded as the most troublesome opponent, but Duncan was really used by Popo's tactics and the players gave full play to it!

……

This year has been a ruthless failure for the teams in the league, and everyone is licking their own wounds!But for someone, there is really nothing stopping him!Whether it is the arrangement of the league or the team in the post-Jordan era, it has fully explained this point!

Anyway!Thomas completed his second Western Conference and even the championship!And the most important regular season MVP was also given to O'Neal!

However, something happened that made O'Neal very 'annoyed', that is, this season's FMVP was given to Carter!

In the finals, Carter completely got rid of the role of "soy sauce" statistics in the Western Conference Finals!Showing off his power, the Knicks' defense seemed defenseless to him!
I believe that many people who watch Rockets games have many opinions on Van Gundy Jr.'s strength. Some are disdainful, some are mocking, and of course some are praising him. But in any case, in the hands of Van Gundy Jr., Yao did not suffer the most serious consequences. The damage is certain!
In any case, we must recognize his efforts and his seriousness!This is the only thing I want to say now, a person's success actually accounts for a lot of luck!
The boss factor is very important, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people calling a certain miser!The core is also very important. A star who cannot take the stage will never be able to lead the team to the finals. The starting blue-collar players are also very important, otherwise the team that does not have a good chemical reaction will become even more scattered. !

Sometimes, after thinking about it, if a coach can still succeed in such a situation, eh!At least within the scope of the famous coaches of the league, it is certain!
Little Van Gundy's method is actually very simple. He just uses the players in his hands to achieve his own goals. It's a little hard for him to be the coach who also serves as the manager!

Just like the current Knicks, everyone knows that O'Neal is the absolute core of the Lakers, which effectively limits O'Neal's role in the interior. In his opinion, the Lakers' Hill did not perform well in the Western Conference Finals. The other players were just players who kept distance, but they still consciously underestimated Carter's role!

This is also his fault!For him, an old player is definitely more trustworthy than a rookie!
Thomas didn't have the kind of system to tell him what Xiao Fan should do, but Carter himself is the arrow of the Lakers, right?Especially when O'Neal is a little lazy, Carter can also lead the team to improve!
卡特在小范‘特意’的关照下，彻底的放开了，4场比赛里，拿下了25分12次助攻11个篮板的三双成绩！奥尼尔又‘只’拿了24分15个篮板的成绩而已！

Comparing the data, coupled with the fact that the boss of the current league wants another Jordan to appear, huh!Carter's finals MVP is very simple!
