Chapter 131 The Spurs

The NBA is a gathering place for outstanding players in the world. It represents the highest hall of basketball. There are a lot of heroes here, and no one is really weak.

Radar came to the San Antonio Spurs, looking at the shiny silver and black spears outside the AT&T Arena, this will be the beginning of my dream journey.

San Antonio, one of the three major towns in Texas, is the city with the least sense of existence. It is obviously powerful but wants to play low-key.The Spurs are as quiet and elegant as this city, so this team can fit perfectly with this city.

Radar followed the staff into the Spurs' home arena, opened his mouth like a country bumpkin entering the city, and exclaimed. The huge arena is several times larger than the Hangzhou Stadium, with nearly [-] seats.

Speaking of NBA arenas, each home has a special story, and the Spurs arena is the most popular with animals.Ginobili once hacked a bat with one hand in the arena, and the Spurs' mascot, the Coyote, also used a net to catch bats everywhere.

Uh, isn’t the word bat a bit sensitive? Are you sure you’re not afraid of radar?

Closer to home, the radar looked at the sky above the stadium, five championship banners, so dazzling, in 99, 03, 05, 07, 14, this is a dynasty called the Spurs.

And the retired jerseys fluttering on the arena made Rado yearn even more.

The Spurs are relatively low-key in the NBA, and the big-name players in history can always be counted.The first one is of course George Gervin, known as the "Iceman". His graceful layups are like dancing, and he has the reputation of "twisting his fingers softly". This technique is also one of the offensive methods that Radar uses now.

The No. 50 jersey belongs to Admiral David Robinson. Lao Luo led the Spurs in the 90s into the ranks of the strong. His personal strength is very strong, and his defense is particularly remarkable. The Best Defensive Player Award is also an affirmation of him.

Shaquille O'Neal, Dream Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, Admiral David Robinson, the four major centers of the 90s, exist like prehistoric behemoths.

However, the Admiral was alone and could not lead the Spurs to win the championship. It was not until the 97 draft that the Spurs picked Tim Duncan, the greatest power forward in NBA history. To the first championship trophy.

But Lao Luo is old after all, and the scepter of the Spurs has been handed over to Duncan. He is stronger than Duncan, and he also needs helpers in the NBA. , This opened a dynasty called the Spurs.

Throughout the history of the Spurs for more than 20 years, how powerful the GDP combination is. Good times look at Parker, adversity looks at Duncan, and despair depends on Manu. Under the leadership of Popovich, they perform perfect team basketball.

Duncan, this unremarkable big man, stable and restrained, is just such a person, best rookie, five championships, 3 FMVPs, 2 regular season MVPs, [-] All-Stars, and [-] All-NBA First Teams.

There are countless honors in the hands of Parker and Manu, such as the best sixth man, All-Star and so on.

Thinking of these Spurs legends, Rado felt admiration and at the same time smiled slightly. History is history after all, and it has all passed. In the future, I will definitely not be worse than you.

"Wow, welcome, an excellent defender from China!"

Proficient English interrupted Radar's thoughts, and he turned around to see a 1.98 man in a white shirt, saying hello to himself.

Who is this person? Radar never expected that the first person he saw after coming to the Spurs would be him, the bald man known as the Demon Sword, Ginobili.

The current Manu is one of the assistant coaches of the Spurs. The player era has passed. Manu has the potential to be an excellent coach. He has received the true biography of Popo. Now he just waits for the old man to say "I quit, you finally got your wish" gone."

"Hi, nice to meet you, Senior Manu." Radar responded very modestly.

"Little guy, what are you thinking about?" Manu showed his iconic smile and walked to Radar.

"My thoughts spanned half a century just now, from the time when you played for the Spurs to the end of my career, unfortunately, I was interrupted by you." Radar joked, and now I think about it thanks to my good Fang Lu Ah, it would be embarrassing now if it wasn't for the bad learning of English in high school.

"Oh, well, blame me." Ginobili patted Radar on the shoulder and continued, "But, little guy, what should I call you?"

"lie~da~" Ginobili spoke the Chinese name of Radar very vigorously.

"You can call me Ray, that's my English name."

"Okay, it's easier to say this way, let's go, I'll take you to meet some people."

Radar followed Ginobili and met the team's management. These people must know each other.Spurs general manager RC. Buford, the two-time manager of the year, in his hands the Spurs once got a very profitable deal, which was to send George Hill in exchange for the facial paralyzed Kawhi Leonard, Although there was some unpleasantness later, Kawhi still helped the Spurs win their fifth championship.

In this way, the general manager still has a way of seeing people.

Buford said that they will sign a contract with Radar as soon as possible, and determine contract options and other issues, please do not worry Radar.

Rado has no experience with these things, so Manager Liao and Wang Qinan from the Guangfeng team accompanied him.

So in terms of the contract, don't worry too much, Manager Liao will not let him suffer, and Wang Qinan exists as Radar's temporary agent and Radar's partner in the country of rice.

Radar saw the old man Popovich who was usually unsmiling and always angry on the court.

"Hey coach, you can call me Ray. It's a great honor to join the Spurs. This is what I have been yearning for all these years."

Gregg Popovich rarely showed a smile. He stared at the radar and said: "Ray, as a rookie, you can maintain humility, unlike some people with high-mindedness and low-handedness. You should know that I am very demanding of players. Strict, this is a militarized management, I hope you can meet my requirements after officially joining the Spurs."

"I know the management regulations of the Spurs very well, and I think we will have a good time getting along in the future." Radar responded with a smile, without being frightened by Popo's sharp eyes.

If you come, you will be safe. I am here to play. I can accept all management and requirements that can bring me improvement.Don't worry, I'm not someone who likes to eat spicy chicken food and can't control his mouth.

After walking out of the office, Manu continued to accompany Radar and said, "Ray, I think you are a little nervous."

Radar: "I'm fine!"

Manu: "I'll take you to meet another person, I think you must really want to see him, let's go."

The person Manu brought Da Da to meet was Da Dai, the Duncan who was called the Stone Buddha.

When I met Duncan, I found that although he was not as talkative as Manu, he also took good care of himself as a rookie. This reassured Radar. So far, the journey to the NBA has been smooth.
