In the eyes of old fans, the Spurs have always been a strong team, since the selection of Duncan in 1997, the team has remained competitive all year round, and there is even a saying that the Spurs are the touchstone of the championship, and if you want to rush out of the West, you must pass the Spurs, although this is a bit exaggerated, but it is a good illustration of the strength of the Spurs. However, since the GDP combination has retired and Leonard has left, the Spurs have gradually withdrawn from the ranks of strong teams, they have not entered the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, and the probability of this season is the same, that is, three consecutive seasons.
San Antonio, where the Spurs are located, is a small ball city, including the boss is not rich, the team can be strong for such a long time has created a miracle, want to return to the glory days, can only say very difficult, after all, the Spurs do not have any conditions to attract stars to join, and the training of draft players also have to try their luck, even if it is really successful, the Spurs are difficult to retain. Previously, Popovich won the 1336th victory of his coaching career, surpassing Nelson Sr. to become the most winning coach in NBA history, and has become the first, obviously not far from Popovich's retirement.
Born in 49, now that Popovich is 73 years old, it's time to enjoy retirement, after Duncan had worked as a Spurs assistant coach, fans thought he was going to pick up Popovich's class, but it was not long before Duncan resigned and returned to the garage. Later, Ginobili came to work at the Spurs, from the perspective of personality, Ginobili is indeed quite suitable for coaching, is the Pampas vulture going to become the next Spurs manager? According to marc Stein, popovich was replaced by someone else, not Ginobili, who was more vocal.
Marc Stein said popovich will coach for another season, retiring at the age of 74, and Marc Stein stressed that if Jazz coach Schneider makes a surprise appearance in the market, I reserve the right to change, and I am increasingly hearing about the possibility of Schneider taking over Popovich's role, and spurs are obviously happy. Marc Stein's implication is clear, that is, if Schneider does not appear in the market, Popovich will coach for another season, and vice versa, announce his retirement after coaching this season, which is his idea.
In fact, it has been determined that Ginobili will not pick up Popovich's class, after Popovich was asked about the relevant topic in an interview, he said that Ginobili hates watching videos the most, indirectly indicating to the outside world that Ginobili will not become the head coach. For old fans, if Popovich retires, then the youth will really dissipate, the reason why they are still watching the Spurs game, more because of popovich's existence, when retired, even the last memory is gone, spurs attention should continue to drop a step.
