How to evaluate Bobo surpassing Zen Master to become the most consecutive playoff berths in history. Zen Master is the most delicious chef in the NBA. The more top-notch ingredients you give him, the more delicious the food he makes.
Even if you give him dragon's liver, phoenix's gallbladder, the Zen master will not waste a single ingredient. The diners praise him more and more.
Bobo is the best chef in the NBA. Even if he goes to the vegetable market at dusk and buys a few green onions and vegetable leaves, and goes home to find some leftover rice and beat an egg, he can still serve you a bowl of delicious food.
Egg fried rice can often be eaten, but dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder cannot.
Therefore, Bobo can surpass Jackson in the number of playoffs, but not in the number of championships.
From the players to the coaching staff of the Spurs in the 1997-98 season, only one person is still playing for the Spurs, and that is Popovich. The old man created the Spurs' long-lasting foundation.
In the 1997-98 season, Popovich led the Spurs into the playoffs as head coach for the first time. That year, James was 14 years old, Curry was 10 years old, and Ben Simmons was only two years old.
In the 2017-18 season, both James and Curry are already in their thirties, and Simmons has passed his championship years. In 21 seasons, the NBA has seen too many changes in the rise and fall of the old and the new, and Popovich and his Spurs
Still standing there, facing the wind and rain across time.
The Spurs reversed course against the Kings and secured a spot in the playoffs. This was the 21st consecutive season that Popovich led the Spurs into the playoffs. The old man set an NBA historical record. It is a monument that has been baptized by the years and will last forever.
legend.
He has never been absent for 21 consecutive seasons. He is the only one in history. When Popovich led the team to the playoffs for the first time, he was not yet 50 years old, and now the old man is nearly 70 years old.
The years have changed, but the Spurs seem to be outside of time, strolling around to win, and entering the playoffs is like grabbing something from a bag.
For 21 consecutive seasons, the Spurs have made the playoffs every year under the leadership of Popovich.
Popovich broke the NBA's historical record and became the head coach with the most consecutive playoff appearances.
The original record was shared by Popovich and Phil Jackson. Before this season, the two famous coaches led the team to the playoffs for 20 consecutive seasons. Riley led the team to win the championship for 19 consecutive seasons.
Playoff berth.
Popovich's system is inclusive, allowing superstars to play more comfortably, such as Duncan, and also allowing role players who have hit a wall in their NBA careers to find a position that suits them, such as Bowen, Danny Green, and Jonathan Simmons.
As long as the player respects Popovich's tactical philosophy, he can feel at home in San Antonio.
Danny Green was waived by the Cavaliers and lived in the Development League for a time. It was Popovich who gave him the opportunity to return to the NBA and helped him grow and establish a playing style that suited his own characteristics.
Danny Green broke the Spurs' three-point record in the 2014-15 season. His value skyrocketed in the summer of 2015, but he chose to stay with the Spurs for less money because this was his home and he was under Popovich's tactical system.
I have found the most comfortable working feeling, which is more important than money.
"San Antonio is my home. I'm familiar with the team's system. Life and work here are very simple. You won't have this feeling in other places," Green said. "So I am willing to accept the Spurs contract instead of signing
Other teams offered higher-priced contracts. Popovich told me that he will be kinder to me in the future, although I don't believe it. "It is precisely because of Popovich that the Spurs can bring together players from all over the world.
Since Popovich started coaching the team, the Spurs have had 27 international players. They have different personalities and abilities, but they have all found roles that suit them in the Spurs and made their own contributions.
Popovich not only shaped the Spurs' tactical system, but also shaped the character of this team. They are more like a team of craftsmen who meticulously carve out the game and achieve high-profile achievements with a low-key style of work.
Reminds me of what Battelle said about the Spurs back then.
Daba didn’t have many opportunities to play during his time with the Spurs, but he loved this team very much and missed his life in the Spurs very much.
When talking about the Spurs, Battelle said this: "The Spurs have Popovich. This is a very decent team." A decent old man, leading a group of decent disciples, has been like this for 21 seasons.
In professional sports leagues, this is unique and great.
