After defeating the Golden State Warriors, two days later, the Spurs ushered in the challenge of the New York Knicks at home. Although Larry Brown coached, no player in his hands met his tactical requirements. Even if Larry Brown is a master-level coach, he is not a god after all, and he cannot cook without rice.

The Spurs easily won a big victory of nearly 30. None of the Spurs team played for more than twenty-five minutes. Stephen scored 18 points, three rebounds, three assists and one steal. I don’t know if he felt Stephen’s threat. Michael Finley made eight eight shots in this game, including five three-pointers, and scored the team’s highest 22 points. []

After defeating the Knicks, the Spurs' overall record rose to 49 wins and seven losses, continuing to lead the West, while only two wins were missing from the top of the league. After a training class, **Vic talked about the severity of the Pistons' record of 72 wins created by the Pistons against the Bulls.

In his opinion, if the team reaches that strength and breaking this record is natural, it should naturally break it, but if it is forced or too much energy is invested in it, it is unnecessary. Just like the Pistons are now, it seems that the Pistons have only lost six games. According to the current winning rate, it is very likely to break this record, but don't forget that in the long regular season, everything is possible.

Moreover, for players, as the goal is about to be achieved, the pressure on players will become greater and greater, and the mentality of wanting to win and afraid of losing will become stronger and stronger. This is like a string that is constantly twisting, and sooner or later there will be a day when it breaks. Once the efforts and hopes of the whole season are gone, the harm to the team and the players will be huge.

**Vicci warned everyone not to regard records as the goal of pursuit. In future games, the team will significantly increase personnel rotation, even if it affects the victory of the game. Everything is to accumulate physical energy and recuperate in the playoffs. Those with hidden injuries will greatly reduce their playing time. **Vicci announced the names of several people, so that they would have to undergo massage treatment from the team doctor after every day's training.

Many people's faces changed color on the spot. It was a very painful thing to receive massage, especially Duncan. He often was alone when he received massage. At first, everyone didn't know why. Occasionally, after the door of the treatment room was opened, everyone realized it after hearing him screaming inside.

It's time to sprint for the playoffs, and the trade deadline has passed. The Spurs have no movement because there is no need, and other teams have no big news. At least there is no such transaction that affects the entire league. Only the Saramento Kings, Seattle Supersonics, Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets made a big deal, but they are all irrelevant roles. I don't know who initiated the deal, and how so many teams were brought in.

After the trading deadline, if you want to continue to strengthen the team, you can only look for it in the free agent market. For the Spurs, as long as there are no major injuries, you only need to ensure that the current lineup is complete. Moreover, with the Spurs' current record, there is also this squandering capital.

For the Western Conference in recent years, fifty wins are a watershed. Generally, only teams that have won fifty wins can enter the playoffs steadily. For the Spurs, which have already won forty-nine wins, as long as they win one or two games in the back, they can guarantee to enter the playoffs. Therefore, it is understandable that **Vic used a large-scale lineup rotation strategy.

In addition, the Spurs also have this squandered capital in the lineup. According to a technology transferred from the Technology Department, the Spurs' substitute lineup has an absolute advantage on both offense and defense when facing the main lineup of the 17 teams in the league. The thickness of the Spurs' lineup can be imagined.

With such a substitute lineup, **Vicci is just a rotation, and there is nothing to worry about, but **Vicci just gave everyone a vaccination. In the home game against the Mavericks, the Spurs were still in the same rotation as before. Although Duncan performed poorly, the whole team still won the game with his life. The Mavericks ranked fourth in the Western Conference record list, which was not so easy to win.

Thanks to Stephen, when Josh Howard was off the court in the third quarter, Stephen suddenly broke out. Taking advantage of their ability to defend themselves from the outside, he kept killing the basket. Facing Danpier, who claimed to be the second center in the Western Conference, Stephen hit him with powerful breakthroughs again and again, either shooting, dunking, or layups, scoring 12 points in a single quarter. Now Stephen's substitute lineup is a role as a tough player, and his ability to continuously explode and score unmatched.

Originally, this character was Ginobili, but because of Ginobili's physical fitness, he gradually evolved into an assist role and handed over this task to Stephen. Although Stephen's powerful breakthrough was different from his breakthrough in the spirit snake drilling hole, it had a similar effect.

Thanks to Stephen's sudden outbreak, the Spurs opened the gap in the scores in one fell swoop. As soon as the main lineup came on the court, they did not give the Mavericks any chance. They won the game without any danger, increasing their record to the standard of fifty wins.

After a day of rest, the Spurs ushered in the challenge of the Portland Trail Blazers. In this game, Vicky began the rotation test. Robert Horry and Van Exel, two players who were not performing well recently, were placed on the injury list by him, activate Udic to enter the bench.

Although Randolph, the leader of the Trail Blazers, still scored 24 points and 10 rebounds, and although the rotation of the Spurs lineup was a little confused in the game, especially when the substitute was on the court, the Spurs still won the game with a 20-point difference. Due to Yudic's entry, there was a little problem with the passing of the ball in the substitute lineup, and Stephen was also affected and only scored 14 points.

After playing this game, **Vic made an exception and did not arrange the next day's training, allowing the players to rest well, and also let the players go to the entertainment venues there. This was the first time Stephen heard **Vic interfering with the players' private lives. Fortunately, he just asked the players to go, and he didn't say he wouldn't go.

Because the next schedule is not as comfortable as a while ago, first there is a back-to-back away game, then only one day off, then there is a back-to-back home, which is away first and then home. Fortunately, the Spurs have basically played almost the same away game in the East, and now most of the away games are from the West.

After a good day of rest, even Stephen's physical strength, thinking of the continuous back-to-back games, he reduced his training volume. To be honest, until now, Stephen has felt how strong his body is. Even players who have been fighting in the league for several years feel a little over half a season, and this is based on **Victz's use of players is very careful. If the physical fatigue increases slightly, it will reduce playing time.

Stephen goes all out during the game, and does not need to save energy at all. In addition, the super training volume every day, he has no limits found in every examination. In the words of the team doctor, Stephen's body self-recovery is too strong. As long as he rests a little, he can recover his energy. It is suitable for playing in back-to-back games. Especially to Vicky, he suggests that Stephen's playing time can be appropriately increased when back-to-back.

Stephen was a little grateful to Rosenberg at this time. If he hadn't chosen himself, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to change his destiny like this. Even if he wouldn't be silenced by the police, he might have been arrested in prison. Even if he still came to his aunt, he wouldn't have been doing this like now and became a basketball star with endless potential.

Unfortunately, this old guy is not kind-hearted, otherwise Stephen would feel a little guilty, and he doesn't know how the animals he came out with him are. It's not because he is afraid that someone will come to him through this clue, Stephen really wants to adopt them.

The things I have experienced before are as vivid as what happened yesterday, the grief and righteous indignation when Wick was killed, the suspicion and surprise when Rosenberg appeared in front of him, the cold gaze when he received the injection, and the fear in his heart when he woke up and saw those corpses.

All of this is as fresh as what happened, but Stephen is unwilling to recall all this. These memories not only contain sadness and pain, but also Stephen cannot believe that it is just a dream.

Stephen wanted to enjoy all this in front of him with peace of mind, but there was a saying that there was no airtight wall in the world. The Glmos Institute would not be isolated. There must be an organization behind it. Whether it was personnel losses or property losses, they would not give up on investigations easily. Therefore, Stephen clearly had to keep a vigilant heart. At the same time, this incident from the FBI also gave Stephen a warning.

With just such suspicion, the FBI would dare to force himself away. If it weren't for notifying Modangs, as long as he stayed in it for a long time, the other party would definitely use some unconventional means to deal with him. It would be that his reputation would not be loud enough, otherwise they would not dare to be so unscrupulous.

After setting a goal for himself to perform well, Stephen followed the team on the plane to Los Angeles. This is another live game for the whole United States. This opportunity is very difficult for the Spurs to encounter.
