Steve Kerr was just one win away from joining that particular club, a small circle that had won 100 in the NBA playoffs. Just think about it, there are only three active coaches who have done this, doesn't that tell you how hard it is to win so many playoff games? Not only do you have to coach a strong team for a long time, but you also have to go far in the playoffs, which is even harder than climbing to the sky!
Do you think there are only 16 teams in the NBA playoffs every year, and how hard it is to win a few games? But don't forget, every game here is a master's move, and every step is like walking a tightrope. Kerr's Warriors are a good example of a team that hasn't had a smooth ride, but has faced numerous challenges and difficulties along the way, and every win for Kerr has been hard-won.
When you think of Kerr, you might think of those four championships, but did you know that under his tutelage, the Warriors reached the Finals six times? Every time you get into a game at this level, the pressure is like a mountain. This is not only a contest of technique and tactics, but also a test of psychology and endurance. If Kerr can win 100 games in the playoffs, it will not only be a numerical victory, but also a testament to his mental endurance and tactical ability.
Besides, Doug Rivers and Eric Spoelstra are not vegetarians either. Rivers was an old fox, and his coaching career had its ups and downs, but it had its share of brilliant moments. His former Green Army and Clippers have performed well under him, and the number of playoff wins has accumulated to 115, which is not a blind man, but a real gun.
Spoelstra may not be as well-known as the other two, but you can't underestimate him. The young coach has been making a name for himself since his days with the Heat's Big Three. In particular, the Black Eight Miracle and the two times he led the team to the finals are enough to prove his coaching ability and exquisite use of tactics. So far, Spo has 110 wins in the playoffs, and no one can say anything about it.
As for Popovich, that's a living piece of basketball history. The Spurs have played under him every year, whether it's Duncan or Leonard, the veteran coach can train them flawlessly. Popovich has amassed 170 wins in the playoffs, a number that no coach can match. His coaching is not only a tactical and technical victory, but also a commitment to basketball spirit and teamwork. That's right, Popovich is the kind of magician who can train ordinary players to become superstars.
You see, behind every coach, there is no one behind it
