Chapter 889: Spurs Civil Strife?
"What are you talking about?"
Duncan and other members of the older generation also came to the training hall with the rest of the team, and when they saw what Green was talking to Mills, they immediately became interested.
"Boss!"
Green and Mills immediately straightened up, the boss is here, of course they can't say anything, hurry up and train.
"Patty, what's the news about us out there?"
Duncan and the other bigwigs began to practice, and Ginobili suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned to ask Mills.
"Hmm...... It's all about saying we're not good anymore or something. ”
Mills reported honestly.
"Really, if it weren't for the sake of better hiding our strength and making the road to the dynasty a little easier, we wouldn't be like this, these media are really going to spread rumors!" As a rookie, Jokic is very loyal to the team, so Jokic is quite angry to see the media belittle the team so much.
"There's no way, now is just the first step, if we follow the coach's arrangement, our next moves will be more confusing." Qin Yan motioned for Jokic to calm down. "As for the media, all they care about is news sales, and we're not in as good shape as they thought they would, so that's why they're doing that."
"Yes, you've just entered the league, and the media have always had the ability to turn black and white upside down, and if we were doing the same as the Cavaliers this year, they would have blown us into championships by now, but that would only make our dynasty road more difficult." Parker also explained that after all, it's already a lot of pressure for rookies to join a defending title, and even more so if that team is about to become a dynasty team.
"But we're not as bad as they say! Is a 70% win rate low? They feel like we're not even going to make the playoffs. Sure enough, the rookies are relatively innocent and cute, and Sledgehammer Anderson also came out to speak.
"Alas, you two are just too young, when Qin was unexpectedly selected by us on the list, the media sprayed him and didn't know what it was like, but what was the result? Now that Qin Bu has become the first quarterback, if you care too much about the media, your achievements are limited. These are Barnes' words.
Indeed, although many fans are worried about the state of Spurs now, as veterans, they will not think much about it, but the young people will not be able to hold their breath.
"Yes, the coach will tell us when to win, and if I'm guessing right, this year the coach wants us to keep up and down as long as we can finish the playoffs at the end."
Duncan came out with the final word, since this set of "playing dead" tactics was formulated by everyone at the beginning, then now everyone has to bear the consequences of this tactic together, if even a little ridicule from the media can't bear it? How to accomplish the great feat of three consecutive championships?
"Where are they?"
Just when the young people were receiving the experience and guidance of the old-timers, suddenly, the voice of the coach came from the door of the training hall, and everyone looked back, and the coach who combed his silver hair meticulously also came in at some point.
"Hello coach!"
Everyone stood up straight at the same time and saluted.
"Alright, relax."
Popovich waved his hand, and in private, he was really kind to his disciples, and he and his wife, Irene, often took care of the players as if they were their own children.
So, this year, for the sake of the dynasty, sometimes had to deliberately lose, and Popovich was also worried that his children would be overwhelmed by the defeat and the media coverage.
"Let's all cheer up, now it's just the beginning, thanks to the blessings of the remaining teams, no one will take care of us for the time being, this is good, our goal has been initially achieved." Popovich had his disciples sit in a circle, and then a group of people sat on the floor of the Spurs training hall for a meeting.
"Coach, the next few games are tough battles, the opponents are quite strong, and the Hawks, a team now known as the Eastern Spurs, exists, what should we do?"
Qin Yan asked Popovich.
"You ask me? Didn't you come up with this idea? Do you want to play dead for a season, it's only been 10 games, can't you stand the loneliness? ”
For Qin Yan's plan to play dead, Popovich will support it because it happens to coincide with the idea in his heart, originally this season Popovich planned to release water, and then after listening to Qin Yan's suggestion, his thinking was more open-minded, which led to the later script.
"But we can't keep losing to the underdogs, that looks too obvious! And if the genuine one loses to the copycat, it's really embarrassing. ”
The team that Qin Yan has a slight opinion about is the Eagles, after all, they are all playing, and everyone doesn't want to be copied. But this year's Hawks don't know what's wrong, under the guidance of the coach, they actually play like Spurs, plus the Spurs are in average state now, and many people have gone to Atlanta to see copycats.
"Then win, anyway, I'm not worried about winning this year, as for who should win and who should lose in the regular season, you can decide for yourself."
"Besides, it's time for a second move, to make more people think that there is something wrong with our team. Especially you guys, you have to try to look like the team is falling apart. ”
With a wave of his hand, the old man began to arrange it, just kidding, on pretending to be dead, he Popovich called the second, and few people dared to call it the first.
The next day, the Spurs defeated the Western Timberwolves and won another victory, although the abuse of the Timberwolves was not too convincing, but judging from the game, the players were in good shape.
However, not long after the game, all kinds of gossip suddenly began to bubble up on the Internet.
The gist of the gossip is this: according to a Spurs player who did not want to be named, now the Spurs no longer have the ambitions of the previous two seasons, for most players, they have already won a lot of championship rings, the highest honor in the NBA has arrived, it doesn't matter if the dynasty is not a dynasty anymore, and many Spurs players want to get by.
And not long after this gossip came out, there was also gossip that according to a Spurs player who did not want to be named, their team is now divided into hawks and doves, one group of people wants to continue to win more games, and the other group of people are no longer willing to continue to work hard.
There is also gossip that a certain player on the Spurs team who does not want to be named (why is it still this unnamed guy!). I am already very dissatisfied with the big brothers of the team, feeling that these old immortals are too domineering, suppressing young people and not letting them come out, etc.
These gossip, if you put it aside, no one will believe it, but the current state of the Spurs is not good, and these news are still clear-eyed, and people don't know whether to believe it for a while.
Spurs, is this going to be a civil strife?
