Recently, the Spurs have rushed to the tenth place in the West, and with the play-offs still maintained this year, if the Spurs continue to maintain their current rankings, they will also retain a certain qualification for the playoffs.
And the Spurs have been in hot form recently, facing many powerful challenges, they are no longer satisfied with the "last moment", but began to win; coupled with the recent ups and downs of competitors, the Spurs are entirely likely to move their rankings further.
Here I have to say white. It has been emphasized many times that Murray is now the team's bottom player, and he can make a steady contribution almost every game, but for the Spurs to go further, White's performance is crucial.
Although his recent performances will still be pulled, but compared to the beginning of the season, there has indeed been a big change.
At the beginning of the season, perhaps due to a lack of self-confidence or not recovering from injuries, his performance on the court was not satisfactory, the key moments were as transparent as no contribution, the offensive end lacked the same ball-holding offense and projection as before, and it was not resolute enough; on the defensive end, his defensive ability was also a visible decline, and he was often beaten by the opposite side.
Although his current stats are not much different from those of the time, from the perspective of on-field performance, his tandem ability has returned to the level of previous seasons, and the changes in the offensive and defensive ends are also obvious to all, and he can even use his ability to change the situation of the game at the key moments of the game.
But his three-point shooting bag still has to be found sooner rather than later, so he will be more at ease on the offensive end and will make more contributions.
Then there's Randale, the Australian League MVP. Although there was not much attention paid to the Australian League before, the addition of Zhou Qi has made many people have a deep understanding of this league, and it is certainly necessary to have two brushes to win the MVP in such a tough game.
In fact, it is also the existence of super "incense", the offensive end is extremely efficient, the offensive rebounding scramble, blocking and dismantling are surprisingly excellent, especially with a new era of center-forwards necessary accurate three-pointers, for the Spurs' offensive system and Popovich's speed will be a great enrichment.
After all, the defensive end is from a league known for its hardness in the Australian League, and the defensive end cannot be said to be super good, but it is not left to be controlled. His return from injury has brought changes to the Spurs.
Finally, I have to talk about Thaddeus Young, when he was first traded, he was full of expectations for his performance at the Spurs. Strong offensive ability, defensive end can also have a certain contribution, before in the league has played a lot of excellent performances in the Spurs seem to be abandoned by Popovich, even in the whole team has the appearance of the game or did not get the opportunity to play.
He was only remembered by Popovich in those "dangerous" moments, but in a limited time his performance can be said to have conquered countless Spurs fans, why would such a useful player be beaten into the cold? Is it to make way for the rookie, or to trade as a puzzle for other teams to win the championship?
And the progress of the young players is also very surprising. KJ's performance in the game is becoming more and more stable, and what is even more unexpected is that his three-point shooting rate is so high;
There is also Walker, although the scolding of him is continuous, after all, many fans have great expectations of him, he can also play in some games to play in hope, if he remains stable, maybe he is the next "demon knife";
Young player Vassell has also practiced to attack with the ball, although it is still not good enough, I believe that with his efforts, he will be able to reach the ideal height.
And people like McDermott, Diop and others have shown their abilities and made great contributions. In the new year, when Murray lifts the agreement and returns, this Spurs is definitely worth looking forward to.
