The NBA's regular season continued, with the Spurs vs. Jazz, and in the end, the Spurs beat the Jazz 104-102. In terms of statistics, the Spurs' Murray 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 steals, Pelter 15 points and 11 rebounds, Collins 15 points and 5 rebounds, Kelden Johnson 13 points and 10 rebounds; jazz missed a winning streak, Mitchell 24 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Clarkson 17 points and 8 rebounds, Gobert 13 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks, whiteside 13 points and 10 rebounds.
In such a game, the Spurs can reverse and win the game, and Murray is indispensable. Before, many people bluntly said that although Murray is a substitute All-Star player, but also a substitute for the bench, it must be admitted that his absolute strength has long reached the level of an All-Star. Such a game is the best example. Murray can play well on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
And this is also a necessary skill for Popovich's disciples. Otherwise, Popovich wouldn't have given too many chances. What about now? Popovich still gave the opportunity, which also proves that Murray is indeed much more mature than before. In such a game, Murray once again showed his all-star level. As an All-Star, he lived up to his name, not the kind of short-lived.
Similarly, with the Spurs beating the Jazz, it was Popovich's 1336th regular-season win in charge, surpassing Nelson Sr. (1335 wins) to take the first place in NBA history. Popovich won 1,336 games in 2030 games (1,336 wins and 694 losses), while Nelson Sr. won 1,338 games (1,335 wins and 1,063 losses). So, in every way, it seems that Popovich is better. Similarly, after the game, the Spurs players were also very excited and happy, and Murray also spoke as a player representative. The final process is for all members of the team to splash water to celebrate.
Such a plot, in the NBA, still appears frequently. However, some people said that this is reminiscent of 2014, when the Spurs won the championship, and the atmosphere in the locker room was also such. Today, too, it is. However, today's Spurs team basically does not have the strength to win the championship. But in any case, Popovich's existence is itself a legend.
Afterwards, Warriors coach Kerr also said: "Bobo, congratulations on breaking the coaching record, let me say thank you, thank you for what you have done to me and all the players you have coached. When I say how important you are to us, I can speak for those players. Forget the wins, forget the record, what really means to me and those players is on a personal level, you help us grow, you give us experience, we had a great time with spurs. You're an amazing coach, an amazing person, congratulations, you deserve that. ”
Such Popovich, how his personal status is, has been shown since then. Similarly, in this league, Popovich is the champion coach, and his disciples Kohl, Budenholzer and other managers are now also the champion coaches. These realities can still prove a lot of things.
First in history! Spurs reversed the Jazz, Murray was the hero and Popovich set a record. Such Popovich, in the history of the NBA, dare not say that he is the first manager, but at least one of the first managers, you say?
