Chapter 212 Conversation with Popovich
With the scoring of this offense, the Spurs officially ushered in the team's explosive moment.
As for the 76ers, Stackhouse obviously started to complain because Iverson didn't pass the ball to himself, and it wasn't the first time.
"Hey Allen, why didn't you pass the ball to me just now? Do you think you can pass the double-team defense of the two of them at once?"
The two had already had a long-standing grudge, because after the passless pass just now, Stackhouse completely broke out.
Of course Iverson heard what Stackhouse said, but he still responded with such a disdainful sentence,
"Just do your own thing, my decision doesn't need your intervention!"
Immediately, Iverson was directly preparing to launch another attack again.
And Stackhouse also greeted Iverson reluctantly in his very angry mouth.
In the subsequent offense, Iverson of course chose to ignore Stackhouse, but he improved a little more than before, and began to look for cooperation with other teammates.
Iverson also went through this change, and directly got a chance to calmly throw the basketball directly in front of Su Hu!
The score difference is still 8 points,,,
And Su Hu obviously blamed himself for his unsuccessful defense this time.
However, at this time Wilkins came to Su Hu's side, put his arm around Su Hu's shoulder and said,
"Su, you have to try the 3-pointer to chase points, and I think your 3-pointer ability is also good, I think you should try it, really!"
"Also, you and Allen both have the ability of combo guards, but he is not as tall as you, so you should try a variety of offensive methods!"
Of course, Su Hu agreed with Wilkins' suggestion.
Now that the two are in the opposite position, of course Su Hu has to try any method.
Su Hu nodded, and then reorganized the attack.
What they were facing was still Iverson's matchup defense. After these two rounds, both of them had a general understanding of each other.
And this time Wilkins also directly brought it up to Su Hu for the pick-and-roll, and during the pick-and-roll process, he kept chanting,
"Vote, vote, vote!"
Wilkins' pick-and-roll effect is particularly good. After Su Hu almost shifted a step, he has already had a chance to shoot.
And this time, Stackhouse didn't choose to help Iverson make up defense,,,
To be honest, in this attack, Su Hu really didn't intend to take the first shot. Su Hu, who was planning to pass the ball, saw that Stackhouse didn't defend him, and immediately changed his strategy.
Su Hu made a shot, a 3-pointer, and hit it directly and steadily.
And the moment Su Hu shot, Wilkins and Su Hu looked at the trajectory of the basketball at the same time, and after seeing the basketball goal, the two of them also clapped their hands very tacitly.
"See, sometimes you have to choose to listen to old players, because that's very practical advice, really."
Wilkins watched Su Hu directly score the shot, and said directly to Su Hu with a complacent expression on his face.
"Yes, yes, you are right, old guy, teach me how to dunk when you have a chance in the future."
Su Hu smiled, and then pulled Wilkins back to defend.
There are still 5 points left, but time is running out bit by bit.
There were only less than 4 minutes left in the game.
At this time, the 76ers also immediately called a timeout to deal with this wave of counterattacks from the re-entering Su Hu.
However, when Iverson and Stackhouse were off the court, there was still an argument between the two.
"Why don't you make up the defense, don't you see that they have adopted the pick-and-roll tactics? What did you just do?"
At this time, Iverson was also dissatisfied with Stackhouse's attitude just now.
But Stackhouse did not take it seriously, and responded directly,
"Do your own thing well, rookie, it's not your turn to educate me, understand?"
Obviously, for accusations from a first-year rookie, this is also unacceptable to Stackhouse.
When the contradiction between the two arrow figures of a team is already in an irreconcilable state, then the final result of the team is of course obvious.
At the end of the fourth quarter, the Spurs, under Su Hu's explosive state, directly shot and passed, chasing all the previous points difference back, and even overtook the score in the end.
When the referee blew the final whistle, the Spurs also won the game 110:107.
When the moment of victory came, Su Hu heard the cheers from his aunt and everyone who came to support him in the game.
Su Hu looked at everything that happened off the field with a smile, and waved directly at them.
In this game, Su Hu scored 27 points, just one step away from his career high of 30 points.
The Spurs finally achieved a long-lost victory,,,
The next game will be back at home, and the Spurs flew directly back to San Antonio the day after the game.
And Su Hu and his aunt also had a brief farewell, and then left Philadelphia with the team.
"In the matchup of the 96 draft, San Antonio's rookie Su Hu won the game and also won the statistics!"
"No. 27 pick, No. [-] pick, who is stronger?"
"The Spurs won the long-lost victory, thanks to rookie Su Hu!"
When Su Hu returned to San Antonio, the local newspapers reported directly on Su Hu.
Su Hu felt that he was becoming more and more famous in San Antonio.
. . .
"Hey, Sue, let's stop here today, you have a game tomorrow, and our training will continue next week!"
Ralph looked at Su Hu who was already drenched in sweat, and said to Su Hu.
【Ding!The host has completed strength training, gaining strength +3 and defense +3 effects. 】
Obviously, after Su Hu came back, he directly started training on further strengthening himself.
Now Su Hu's strength and defense have reached 67.
It needs to be strengthened, but in order not to affect the feel of shooting in the future, the strength aspect still needs to be trained slowly in the future.
Fortunately, Su Hu's performance in the game was still very stable.
But the Spurs are indeed understaffed at this time.
Except for Wilkins who is still in the iron man state, Elliott, Avery and several other main players have suffered from moderate injuries.
In the following home and away games, the Spurs lost all games without exception.
After a victory, they once again ushered in a two-game losing streak. This is a difficult moment for the Spurs.
Returning to the San Antonio team again, the Spurs finally ushered in the boss of the team, and the Navy saw Robinson's direct return.
When Robinson appeared on the court again, everyone on the Spurs directly rekindled their confidence.
However, the good times didn't last long. Robinson returned to the Spurs and only played 6 games of pizza. He directly announced that his right ankle injury had obviously worsened and he would be reimbursed directly for the 9697 season!
When Su Hu heard the news, he was still in the daily training of the Spurs...
Robinson returned 6 games, the Spurs 4 wins and 2 losses, and also won 3 consecutive victories, the team seems to be moving on the right path.
But when the news came out, almost everyone was dumbfounded at the same time.
There was no sign of Robinson's situation at all.
However, among these dumbfounded people, only Su Hu was an exception.
Su Hu knew that history would continue in the same way.
However, Su Hu knew that the Spurs had to reach this result.
Because no one will reject the champion in 97,,,
When everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Noah came to Su Hu's side, and said to Su Hu,
"Su, the general manager wants you to go up and talk to you about something."
Su Hu nodded, and then directly followed Noah's footsteps to Popovich's office.
As soon as he entered the door, Popovich motioned for Su Hu to sit down and gave Su Hu a cup of coffee.
"Do you have any opinion on David's injury? Also, I want to hear your opinion on the team's next plan?"
Popovich sat down in the same way, and then said to Su Hu with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I don't know if I heard it wrong, Mr. General Manager, I don't think the team's future plans should be something that I, a rookie, should think about."
Su Hu took a sip of coffee and said with a smile.
"What you said is also reasonable, but of course the team also needs to know what each player is thinking in their hearts, and we are still a team, of course we must say everything."
"Also, you can call me Bobo directly in the future, and all the Spurs personnel can call me that, it doesn't matter."
Popovich looked at Su Hu with a smile and expressed his opinion.
"Oh, I see. From now on, should I call you General Manager Bobo, or Coach Bobo?"
Su Hu grinned and smiled slyly at Popovich.
However, after hearing what Su Hu said, Popovich had an obvious pause, but then returned to normal.
"I like to chat with smart people. Obviously, you and others give me a different feeling. You always seem to be able to peek into other people's inner thoughts one step ahead."
"Hehe, I'm just analyzing it myself. Of course, sometimes I make mistakes."
Su Hu shrugged, he had nothing to shy away from his own words.
"Of course, everyone will make mistakes. Making mistakes in life is a normal thing. Therefore, we must avoid risks in advance of possible mistakes."
Popovich also curled his lips, seeming to agree with Su Hu's point of view.
"I agree, for the coach, of course it's about getting the team in the right direction."
Su Hu nodded.
"So, what do you think is the right direction for our team now?"
Unexpectedly, after Su Hu finished speaking, Popovich directly gave Su Hu a counterattack.
Of course, Su Hu knew what Popovich was thinking, maybe now he just wanted to see how much he weighed.
"I think Coach Popo already has his own answer. After all, no one can refuse, a lottery pick that can be obtained in the future."
Su Hu responded with a smile.
Popovich laughed out loud and nodded repeatedly. Obviously, he agreed with Su Hu's words very much.
"You have performed very well, and I already have a lot of interest in the game. Play well, young man, and I guarantee that you will have rapid growth and unlimited firepower this season."
Good guy, it seems that Su Hu spoke from Popovich's heart and directly promised Su Hu such great freedom.
Obviously, Su Hu hadn't thought of this.
"Even, I thought of a bolder idea."
Popovich rolled his eyes and said something directly to himself.
"what idea?"
Popovich's reaction aroused Su Hu's curiosity.
However, Popovich didn't want to talk anymore, so he waved his hand and said to Su Hu with a smile,
"Okay, Mr. Su Hu, the conversation between us was very pleasant, and I enjoyed our chat very much. You can go out for training now, and I hope you will have a stable growth this season!"
Su Hu nodded, understood what Popovich meant, and then went out directly.
When Su Hu returned to the training ground, he saw Avery coming directly towards Su Hu.
"Su, what did the coach tell you?"
Seeing Avery's curious look, Su Hu smiled,
"It's nothing. I just asked some questions about the future development of the team. Nothing."
There was a disappointment in Avery's eyes.
But immediately, Avery's eyes lit up, and he said directly to Su Hu,
"Su, do you know that when you went up, the team staff directly announced to us that Coach Bob has been fired by the team!"
However, after Avery finished speaking, he thought Su Hu would be surprised, but Su Hu still showed no expression.
"Well, I see. There is nothing unexpected about this matter. If the team loses, someone must take responsibility."
"But, do you know who our next head coach is?"
Avery looked surprised.
"Greg Popovich, when I was up there, he already told me."
Su Hu still had a calm expression on his face.
"It looks like our team is about to undergo a very big change."
Avery nodded, seeming a little worried about the future of the Spurs.
But Su Hu patted his shoulder,
"Don't worry, I think no matter what happens to others, we just need to play our season well. Also, you must pay attention to your injuries, after all, the team needs you now!"
Avery nodded, but then slapped Su Hu,
"When did you need you, kid, to educate me?"
Su Hu laughed.
