Chapter 196 The Spurs' View of Angie's Hate
The first game between the Cavaliers and the Warriors lasted only about 5 minutes, but it has already climaxed repeatedly. In a "mansion" in San Antonio, Gregg Popovich is drinking red wine while tasting While watching the finals.

His wife, Irene Popovich, is busy, serving a group of "old men".

That's right, Popovich's family is not only him alone, but also the other two big shots of the Spurs, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan.

As the doorbell rang, Irene led the last of the big three Spurs into the living room.

Parker immediately smiled at Ginobili and said, "Hey, Manu, you're late."

"I'm sorry, I took care of some things and delayed some time." Ginobili sat on the sofa familiarly, poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and glanced at the TV screen, suddenly surprised: "Huh? The Cavaliers actually lead?"

That's right, the Big Three on the Spurs side and head coach Popovich are all more optimistic about the Warriors, thinking that their chances of winning the championship are as high as [-]%!

Duncan had a straight face and a very flat tone: "The Warriors have not found a way to limit LeBron."

Ginobili's tactical quality is very high, and even Popovich believes that he can become an excellent head coach after retiring in the future. At the previous party, Ginobili once said that the Warriors only need to be like the Spurs Against the Cavaliers, it shouldn't be difficult to win the championship. He even once asserted that if the Spurs reach the finals, the Cavaliers can only win one victory from the Spurs at most.

Now the Warriors are behind on the court, which is completely inconsistent with Ginobili's predictions.

Popovich explained: "The Warriors are different from us. They are strong offensively and weak defensively, especially Mr. Don Nelson. He is a very good tactical master, but his biggest problem is that he doesn't pay attention to defense. He never won a championship in his previous coaching career. In fact, the Warriors did adopt a strategy similar to ours. I think this should be a late request. They tried to cut off the connection between James and his teammates , but their players’ perimeter defensive ability is obviously a bit worse than ours, especially Wang’s outstanding performance, which greatly undermined the Warriors’ plan.”

"Wang?" Ginobili was silent for a while. He didn't know much about Wang Zhizhi, but in the past two years, Wang Zhizhi has changed from a homeless man without the ball to a reliable helper next to James. It is quite legendary. I have more or less heard the story of Wang Zhizhi.

"He is a relatively single-functional inside big man. His slow moving speed is his weakness. As long as he increases his movement coordination, he will easily lose his position in the inside, especially when he forms a double with Ilgauskas. This weakness was especially obvious when he was in the Tower. If he played well, then he should be feeling hot today and taught the Warriors a lesson with a three-pointer, right?"

Popovich nodded approvingly: "Manu, Wang's weaknesses and advantages are very obvious, but he has made great progress in the past two years, and he is very good at using his advantages. , His tactical role can be improved exponentially, so his outstanding performance in the finals is actually not beyond my expectations. In fact, I think we have an easier time dealing with the Cavaliers, but the Warriors can't... It's probably It’s tactical restraint.”

Speaking of this, the Big Three of the Spurs immediately thought of being eliminated by the Warriors in the first round of this year's playoffs.

The Big Three of the Spurs are actually very unconvinced, because they think that as long as they beat the Warriors, they have a great advantage against the Suns and Rockets. Once they reach the finals, the possibility of winning the championship is very high.

It's a pity that in the series against the Warriors, not only were they late but still played well, the Warriors' seemingly dispensable little players also stood up. In the end, they eliminated strong opponents all the way and reached the finals.

Ginobili couldn't help taking a breath: "Chi is really a terrible guy. I heard that the Heat had made it clear at the time that they would not renew the king's contract. No team in the league was interested in him. He went to play there late." After a summer of training, he was later recommended to the Cavaliers. I think Wang’s improvement should be due to the late training, and Wade and James, who played well this year, also trained with the late After one summer, the level of three-point shooting immediately improved by leaps and bounds, and he really changed the league."

Popovich sighed: "Yeah, I actually wanted to use you and Parker in exchange for Chi, and let him come to our holy city, but my attitude was not so firm, and in the end it didn't matter very quickly, because I Think you three are enough to make the Spurs the most competitive team in this league for at least ten years, but the rise of the late guy is really too fast, I think he has more threats to us than James. He is a A guy who can beat a team on his own, and LeBron...he's got a lot of talent, but he's not dominant enough."

All the players present were really mature professional players. When it came to the rumors about his trade, there was nothing uncomfortable. Even Ginobili agreed: "Yes, if Chi and Tim form a dual-core inside and outside, I would I can't even imagine how long the future alliance will be ruled by them."

As he was speaking, Late broke through James' defense with a consecutive shot of Sam Gold. Although the final layup was destroyed by Wang Zhizhi, the Big Three of the Spurs couldn't help but marvel.

Duncan's paralyzed face could no longer be maintained, and he showed a look of surprise: "How did he do it? I really can't believe such a speed of improvement. In two or three years, his strength will improve to what extent." degree."

Popovich shook his head: "Chi has mastered the breakthrough ability, which makes him more difficult to be restricted on the offensive end, but I think that letting him score with breakthroughs is actually limiting his scoring." Ability, his most terrifying weapon has always been the unbelievable stability of the three-pointer, today James did a good job of restricting the delay, if the other players of the Warriors can't stand up, the Cavaliers will win."

Ginobili also said: "Yes, the outside media are saying that this is a direct dialogue between two superstars led by a single-core team, but in my opinion, no one in a basketball game has ever been able to truly complete the game alone. To dominate the game, the other players on the court are the most important. In fact, the duel between the Cavaliers and the Warriors should be based on the performance of the role players of both sides. It seems that the Cavaliers are already one step ahead, and Wang's performance is very good. "

At the same time, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge is also watching this year's finals. When he saw the Cavaliers leading, Ainge couldn't mention how happy he was-because he hated being late.

That's right!

Just hate!
When late was playing well in the league, Angie thought about introducing late to the Celtics. He believed that with the combination of late and Pierce, the Celtics would be able to recreate the glory of the year.

However, Pierce went to inquire about the attitude of lateness, and the result was not optimistic. Although Pierce did not say it clearly, Angie was considered a man with all-hands in this league. A cold-blooded guy.

At that time, the Celtics had sufficient salary space and a very good bargaining chip. Angie believed that they could completely impress the Rockets, but in the end they still had nothing in the transfer market.

It seems that Danny Angie's cold-blooded remarks have affected the final choices of many stars, so Angie's hatred for being late is even deeper.

It should not be difficult to say that Angie wants to deal with a professional player.

But he really can't help being late. Just when the Warriors' locker room fell into civil turmoil at the beginning of this season, Angie once wanted to fan the flames in the middle, and even contacted several authoritative media in Boston. The manuscript was ready, but he encountered unexpected resistance—this resistance did not come from the team owner, but from a higher-level Boston consortium.

Under the interference of the Boston consortium, Angie's plan to disparage the lateness came to nothing, and even the wind did not spread.

This dealt a huge blow to Angie. He couldn't figure out why a giant like the Boston Consortium would take the initiative to escort the late arrivals?
In the end, it was his boss who gave him the answer—because if he had enough benefits for a behemoth like the Boston Consortium, the research and development achievements he had made in just a few years made the Boston Consortium salivate. Even if they fail to get a share of the energy market, the Boston consortium still insists that it is necessary to maintain a good mutual relationship with Late, so that they can gain more benefits in the future.

Angie asked himself that he was already the top manager in the league, but he still ate his teeth when he was late without knowing it. This made Anji hate his teeth for being late, but he had to pay attention to his words.

Sometimes when being interviewed by the media, he was asked about being late, and he had to forcefully suppress the disgust in his heart, saying compliments that made him feel sick.

Today the Warriors fell into a disadvantage when facing the Cavaliers. Angie kept cheering James in his heart, hoping that he could lead the Cavaliers to defeat the Warriors. There will naturally be media to step on the late arrival.

It's a pity that things backfired. Although the Cavaliers unexpectedly gained a 5-point advantage under Wang Zhizhi's outstanding performance, this advantage was quickly wiped out. The shot this time was not late!
