As soon as the news of Chris Paul joining the Spurs came out, the entire NBA was boiling! This "master of ball control" is actually going to join forces with the legendary coach Popovich, which is like a spicy hot pot meets mellow red wine, who would have thought that these two "ingredients" with very different styles would collide with such a wonderful spark?
Paul was as excited as a kid who had just gotten a new toy, and he gushed his excitement at the reporters: "Hey, Spurs fans! I'm so high! I feel as lucky to be in San Antonio as if I had won the lottery.
To be honest, I never imagined that I would one day be able to play for Bobo the Great, it was like a dream come true! ＂
Look at Paul's excitement, as if he hadn't come to play, but to make a pilgrimage.
But then again, working with a legendary coach like Popovich is a dream for many players.
Popovich's status in the NBA is like that of Confucius in ancient China, who is simply a "saint in basketball"!
Paul continued: "I couldn't be more excited about this young and talented team.
I can't wait to get there and get to work and see what kind of miracles we can create! "Listen, this is a veteran who is almost 40 years old, and he is simply a passionate hairy young man!
Speaking of young and talented, we have to mention Spurs' star Victor Wembanyama.
The Frenchman showed amazing strength in his rookie season, averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. What's even more surprising is that he ranked second in the Defensive Player of the Year award, which is the first time in NBA history! This kid's defensive ability is like a moving Great Wall, who dares to break through easily?
Paul's assessment of Wembanyama is also incredibly high: "The way Wembanyama finished the season, I think it's a ticking time bomb for the league.
Because I think the way he finished the season was like a shot in the arm for his summer training.
To be honest, I don't think the league is ready to deal with all the talent and talent he brings to the table! ＂
Listen, where is this Kwavan Banyama, it's simply giving other teams a vaccination in advance! Paul's meaning is clear: Guys, get ready, you're in for next season!
However, Paul is not the only "veteran reinforcement" of the Spurs.
The team also acquired Harrison Barnes from the Sacramento Kings in a trade.
This is good, the Spurs are like a hodgepodge, with three generations of the old, middle and young in the same house, and all kinds of flavors!
Speaking of which, I have to admire Popovich's way of employing people.
He is planning to let Paul and Barnes, the two "old drivers", take Wembanyama, these "rookies", to race on the NBA court! This configuration is like letting an experienced master take an apprentice who has just debuted, which can not only ensure stable performance, but also stimulate the potential of young people, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
However, it may be too early to talk about winning the championship.
After all, the competition in the Western Conference is quite fierce.
It is said that at least 12 teams are capable of making the playoffs.
It's like 12 hungry wolves fighting for a piece of meat, and it's bound to be intense!
But who can underestimate the Spurs? You know, they have "Bobo the Great" in charge! The veteran coach has a reputation for being weird and changeable, like a chameleon, always able to adjust to the characteristics of his opponent at any time.
Coupled with the addition of Paul, the "coach on the court", the Spurs' tactical execution will definitely be greatly improved.
Speaking of Paul, we have to mention his ability to "turn stones into gold".
The data shows that after Paul joins any team, he can bring about an improvement in the record, even the Warriors.
It's like a "lucky star", wherever you go, you can blossom and bear fruit!
So, while it's not yet certain that the Spurs will win the championship in the new season, they definitely have the potential to be a dark horse.
It's like Cinderella in a fairy tale, maybe no one looks down on her before the ball starts, but when the clock strikes midnight, she may be the center of attention!
Overall, the Spurs' roster for the new season can be said to be quite interesting.
There is Paul, the "master of ball control", Wembanyama, the "future star", and Popovich, the "tactical master".
This is like a wonderful movie, with old drama bones, new stars, and gold medal directors, no matter how you look at it, I think it will be very exciting!
However, the new season has not yet begun, and everything is still unknown.
But what is certain is that the Spurs will definitely be one of the most watched teams in the new season.
After all, who wouldn't want to see what kind of sparks the combination of "Bobo the Great" and "God of Ball Control" can create?
Let's wait and see! Maybe at the end of next season, we'll actually see Paul lift the first championship trophy of his career.
That scene is exciting to think about! After all, who wouldn't want to see a perfect ending to a saga?
Regardless of the outcome, one thing is for sure, the Spurs' new season is sure to be exciting.
It's like a well-choreographed symphony, with Paul's agility, Wembanyama's passion, Popovich's conducting, and the cooperation of other players, I believe it will definitely play a moving basketball movement!
Let's look forward to the Spurs' performance in the new season! Perhaps, we can really witness the birth of a new dynasty.
After all, on the NBA stage, there is no shortage of miracles, all that is missing is our imagination!
