As the new season of the NBA approaches, teams have begun to appear in the fans' field of vision, recently, Spurs coach Popovich was also interviewed by reporters, when asked about the team's trade for Murray some time ago, Bobo said as follows:
"What I miss more than a player is De Zhangtai-Murray."
Let's turn the clock back to the summer of 2016, when the Spurs are strong.
Before there was an old and strong GDP, after there was the peak of Ade to vote, coupled with the No. 2 initial growth, in the league can be described as the existence of the wind and rain, however, the team also exposed a major problem, that is, with the stability of the record for many years, the young talent is seriously insufficient, it may also be heaven to see that the Spurs are indeed too shabby, so they gave them a surprise. That year's Murray, in terms of talent, is definitely the existence of the top ten, but the news that he may be a thorn in the head before the draft made many teams prohibitive, and finally let the Spurs pick up the leak in the 29th pick and successfully win.
Although Murray, who has just arrived on the team, is not very good at ball skills, but on the kung fu of patting horses, it is first-class, he recognized the big brother at the beginning, and finally, most of the stars counted in the league have become his big brother, and this whisker and horse kung fu has also brought a different style to this low-key and humble spurs, and all of this has been looked at by Mr. Bobo.
In fact, now that I think about it, before the fans jokingly called Murray the prince, it is not without reason, there are many details, which can reflect the old man's love for Murray.
For example, after Murray is Parker, there are few players who can play the team's starting season in the rookie season. In the 17 years of the playoffs, it was Murray who replaced the injured Parker and took on the responsibility of the team's starting point guard, and at that time, Murray, can be described as nothing, pure hairy embryo, even dribbling through the half, and in the circumstances at that time, Bobo Old Master trusted him extremely much, in addition to the team was stretched in the position of point guard at that time, to a certain extent, it also confirmed Bobo's preference for Murray.
There is one more thing that reflects this.
After Murray experienced a major injury, Derek White played inexplicably well in his place, especially in the 2019 playoff battle with the Nuggets. At that time, I thought that the Spurs were going to build the team with White, after all, with the chemistry played by the team lineup at that time, White was the core of proper control, I think even White himself thought so, but so what? Next season, Murray, who missed a year, directly extended his contract, and immediately mentioned the start, in fact, the situation of the two people, this is extremely unreasonable, White played the performance of the core brain of the team last season, and Murray was an injured soldier who was absent for a year, and the injury last season, although he won the second defense, but combined with his offensive performance, in fact, it is not suitable to play the core guard of this Spurs, but this is how things happened, you say strange? The result of this is also indirectly leading to White's late fall, locking him up further space
Of course, the story of Murray's rebirth and incarnation as an Almighty Warrior is not discussed in this article.
Therefore, combining the above two points, Murray is really a good life, growing up in such a mature team as the Spurs, and meeting a famous teacher like Popovich to have today's achievements.
As for why Popovich was so good to Murray, so that he still missed Dezhang Temuri after the transaction, I think it must have been a long time since he drank the red wine sent by his apprentices. Sohan and Wesley, these rookies, do you understand?
