Seven Hundred and Ninety-Six. I Really Didn’t Do This!

"Mike, do you want to be a head coach in the future?"

"yes!"

"..."

It's really real.

Sun Ce didn't know if it was as Conley analyzed, but it really made sense, because they were indeed in such a situation.

Sun Ce didn't think about this issue. The Spurs took a rest. What Sun Ce thought before was that he finally understood why the Spurs had such a good record before the All-Star Weekend this season in the original time and space. As a result, the Bulls overtook the record at the end of the regular season. , because of the rest, but it did not connect the strategic changes of the own team, the furious pursuit of the Lakers and Mavericks after the All-Star Weekend, and the Spurs' rest.

Because the Spurs were famous for taking turns in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons, and were fined every three days.

I didn't expect the Spurs to have such evil intentions! Simply despicable!

From Conley's analysis, he felt the Spurs' cunningness!

Fortunately, it was not just the Grizzlies who were unlucky, the Mavericks and Lakers were also cheated, which made Sun Ce feel less miserable.

The Grizzlies management, coaching staff, Conley and Sun Ce feel the same way. If one person is cheated, he will definitely go crazy, but there are other unlucky people... Human hearts are so innocent.

Sun Ce was impressed by Conley's ability to analyze the overall situation. Is this what this guy thinks about when he runs to the toilet every day?

…

At the same time, a white-haired old man at the San Antonio ATT Center who was guarding against the murderous nobles from stealing alcohol sneezed... He thought to himself that he had done nothing this year, so why did he feel like he was being hated?

…

After arriving in San Antonio, the Grizzlies checked into the Four Seasons Hotel. Although they were in the same competition area, they were quite far apart. After arriving at the hotel, coach Hollins announced that there would be no training today, which attracted bursts of cheers.

Coach Hollins is also very helpless. His coaching staff's thoughts are similar to those of Carlisle and Conley, who all feel that they have been tricked by the Spurs.

This caused them to play too hard from the All-Star break until now. If Paul hadn't been injured... Gasol's ankle injury might not have healed so quickly.

Whether you are playing in the NBA, serving as a head coach, or serving as a management team, you must accept that sudden changes often occur. Faced with such situations, you can be caught off guard, but you must be good at accepting it and make your own decisions within the adjustable space. Adjustments that can be made.

Fortunately, we have good luck this season. After Guy was "sacrificially sacrificed", no one else experienced major injuries. Although Sun Ce, including Sun Ce, had some minor injuries, Sun Ce was fine the next day every time. , has strong recovery ability, and other minor injuries did not have much impact, such as muscle tension, ankles, mild strains, etc., and they all survived by reducing playing time or taking turns.

There are still 5 games left in the regular season. Coach Hollins has the same idea as Conley. He cannot easily say that he will stop fighting after winning 61 games. He is only 2.5 games away from the Spurs. The Suns, Rockets, The Thunder and Trail Blazers are still fighting, and of course they have to fight.

Moreover, the Grizzlies must maintain their hope of reaching the first place. In the next game, they will play the Spurs. If they can defeat the Spurs, they can reduce the victory gap to 1.5 points. That way, there will be three games left for the Spurs. Under the circumstances, there is still some expectation that they can lose a game, provided that the Grizzlies win all the remaining games...

…

…

Being tricked,

Once someone said it, it quickly spread throughout the team and was passed on.

On April 10th, Spurs head coach Popovich, who will face the Grizzlies at home tonight, saw the new news and wanted to (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!

Rumors came out of nowhere that he deliberately lost to the Lakers, Mavericks, and Grizzlies to drain their energy.

He didn't even think of this because he hadn't thought about it, but at first glance, it seemed to fit his character in the hearts of the fans - despicable.

He doesn't care if people call him mean, but he takes pride in it, because when people call him mean, he is usually the one who takes advantage.

However, this time he did not do it actively, but passively.

He didn't want to meet the Lakers in the first round, nor did he want to lose the home court advantage when he met the Grizzlies in the second round, so he stopped taking a rest when he was about to be overtaken by the Grizzlies and began to rush forward to hold on to the Western Conference. First, the strength is there, and they really have to hold on. By the end of the regular season, the number of losses against the Grizzlies has been extended to two, and they have played one more game.

However, even if he unexpectedly took advantage, he didn't want to be known as "losing on purpose". It was normal for him to rest in preparation for the playoffs!

But the media doesn’t care, the fans don’t care, and the opponents don’t care either!

At 7:40 in the evening, after the players from the two teams entered the ATT Arena, Popovich felt the evil gaze of a group of people on the opposite side. There seemed to be a cold light in the eyes of the people on the opposite side...

…

It's been a long time since he played against Duncan, and this time Sun Ce was more excited than before.

In the first two games of the season, when they first encountered the Spurs system, the Grizzlies were beaten without any power to fight back.

It's not that Sun Ce doesn't want to provide solutions, but that he doesn't know how to deal with the Spurs system.

This doesn't mean that he can know how to deal with it by opening his eyes. The fans' thoughts and the players' duel on the field are two different things.

And the more critical thing is that as far as he knows, the Spurs system was not defeated, but the gap between Duncan and Aldridge who took over after Duncan’s retirement…Even in the last year of Duncan, his role in the system was not comparable to Aldridge’s peak period. The comparison of their careers…To put it bluntly, comparing Aldridge and Duncan can be said to be humiliating Duncan.

The Spurs system was because Duncan’s state declined too seriously in the last two years. Even if he was Duncan, he couldn’t do it. Therefore, the Spurs system couldn’t play anymore. Later, even Leonard was gone, and it couldn’t play at all. As far as Sun Ce knows, except for the Grizzlies’ hardcore victory over the Spurs in 2011, the Spurs looked invincible in the next three years. They were overturned 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals in 2012 and 3-2 in the Finals in 2013. There are many things worth talking about.

The first match after the All-Star Weekend, the Spurs were rested, and the Grizzlies won relatively easily, but they were not excited, but a little unhappy, because the opponent was rested. At that time, they had just prepared for the Spurs under the leadership of the coaching staff.

Now, they turned the unhappiness caused by the opponent's rest last time and their belief that the Spurs were playing tricks on them into motivation, and practiced the tactics against the Spurs that the coaching staff had studied and pondered for nearly two months this morning, preparing to defeat the Spurs and narrow the record gap!
