Chapter 57 Overtraining
The reason why Stephen was able to understand **Vicci's intentions through a look is that he had known for a long time that **Vicci hated the media or professionals pointing fingers at his team. This team was created by him and devoted his life's hard work and sweat, so he could not tolerate those irrelevant people to speak to his team.
Didn't you say Stephen's performance is good? I just don't let him play. Didn't you say the team still rely on Duncan? I only let him play for more than ten minutes. Didn't you say Ginobili is in a bad state? I'll let you see. Once he fires with all his might, there are a few people who can resist it. Didn't you say Michael Finley can't dissolve into this tactical system? I'll let you see this tactical system.
As for the team's victory, with these two people working hard, if the Spurs still cannot defeat the Hornets, the Spurs can just go to bed and don't need to play the championship this season. In this game, although this year's No. 4 rookie Chris Paul only scored nine points, he got seven assists. At the same time, his sharp breakthrough and unfair game state in the game made people praise the Hornets for choosing a phenomenal player this year's draft.
Although I only played a few preseason games, there are a few rookies this year who have shown their super adaptability to professional games, including Chris Paul, Granger, Stephen met last time, and Cooperd's performance in the Clippers is also eye-catching. However, the top three people in the top three have not performed well. Bogut's performance is very average. If he is in the second half of the first round, his performance is still good, but as the No. 1 pick, as long as you perform a little worse, the parallel goods will be on your head.
Although he only proved himself in one game, Stephen was praised as the Spurs once again proving his superhuman vision in the show after Tony Parker and Ginobili. However, no one mentioned Ion Masinmi, who was selected by the Spurs in the first round.
In the following game, **Vic began to rotate large numbers of non-protected players again, while the old players went up to find their state. The two evenly divided almost all the playing time, which made Stephen almost unable to play for a few minutes. However, at this time, Stephen was able to accept such treatment calmly.
When playing against the Knicks at home, the Knicks' two rookies this year, Channing Fry and Nate Robinson, both burst into good shape, especially Channing Fry's big man stood outside and made three-pointers, just like Robert Horry, which made it very difficult to defend. Nate Robinson took his speed and flexibility to the extreme. With **Vic's deliberate indulgence, the Knicks won a victory.
Stephen watched strangely off the court. In the past, during the game, **Vic would watch the game very carefully, but he rarely focused on the field in this game, but his eyes kept looking at the opponent's bench. Could it be that there was a very powerful guy sitting on the Knicks' bench? Stephen looked at it and found nothing. Stephen Marbury, who was known as the "No. 1 point guard in the league", seemed to be on the court. Who was the coach looking at?
And every time **Vickey changed people, he was smiled at the other side? What's going on? Stephen looked at it for a long time before he found that **Vickey's smile seemed to be heading for the other party's coach. There was nothing ridiculous about a snow-white-haired old man.
As soon as the game ended, **Vic immediately walked towards the other side quickly. The two hugged each other enthusiastically. It could be seen that the two were very familiar with each other. It should not be just a relationship between them, but what is the relationship between the two? Stephen asked Van Exel around him curiously: "Why is our coach so good with the other party's coach?"
Although Stephen likes basketball and admires His Majesty Jordan very much, when he likes basketball, it was when His Majesty Jordan retired for the second time. He appreciated Jordan's magic and extraordinaryness by appreciating Jordan's video. Although Jordan made a second comeback, Jordan in the Wizards has already developed an omnipotent halo, so Stephen rarely watches basketball games. For basketball stars, they only know that Iverson, O'Neal, Kobe, McGrady and others, and most team players cannot be fully put, let alone coaches.
"That's Larry Brown. We coached on our team, and our head coach learned it from him." Van Exel turned around and explained, picked up his jersey and walked towards the locker room. No wonder the two of them were so good. Stephen looked over there again and followed him back to the locker room.
After the Knicks, the Spurs were still playing at home after the next game, so there was no need to travel long distances. During the past two days, Stephen spent day and night in the training hall. In addition to the contents of the training subjects, Stephen has been practicing shooting. When Stephen finished training at night, he felt his arms were swollen like they were swollen. Is it because his training volume was too large?
As a result, on the third day, Stephen woke up in the morning and was about to move, he felt a burst of pain from his arms. Stephen twisted over and saw that both arms were thicker and their skin was shiny. Stephen barely put on his clothes, came to the team's training hall, and found the team doctor.
The team doctor was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly called Engellander over and asked what was going on. How could a new player be able to train so much? Look at both arms that are swollen, and it will take at least a week to disappear.
Engelland was also shocked and took a day and a half off. Why did Stephen practice this way? When he brought the record form and called the staff for the past two days to ask, he found out that Stephen had practiced 27,000 shots in the past two days, several times more than the normal training volume. No wonder it was so swollen.
Enl Grand looked at Stephen with anger and heartache, and wanted to scold Stephen. Seeing Stephen's innocent look, he couldn't scold him. After glaring at Stephen, he hurriedly made a report to Caresimo. Caresimo also attached great importance to this. He came to the medical room and looked at it. He was relieved after confirming that he did not need to be sent to the medical center for treatment. After criticizing Stephen, he put Stephen on the list of injuries.
Now everyone in the team knew it immediately. After hearing this news, many players with non-guaranteed contracts felt that their chances were coming. Although Stephen did not have much playing time, he knew because of the team's importance to him. The team gave him a two-year contract, which was definitely not just for him to participate in training. Now that Stephen is injured, maybe a place will appear on the team, so why don't they feel happy?
Seeing the deep joy of these people coming to visit them, Stephen was so angry that he thought that if I was injured, you would have the chance to do it? Don’t even think about it. It’s only a week, and the preseason has not ended. Sure enough, after hearing Stephen’s injury, these people left disappointed.
By the time the old players came, it was already the second wave. When Ginobili came, he even brought a bunch of white carnations. He didn't know where he got it, but Tony Parker brought chocolate. The comfort of these people was much more sincere, which moved Stephen.
In the evening, Stephen watched the team's game against the Pacers on TV. Even at home, the Spurs were unable to win a victory. This loss was mainly due to the loss in the inside. Mohamed was also rested due to a minor injury. Duncan's teammate was replaced by Oberto. Facing O'Neal, who made a strong comeback and Jascovius who suddenly broke out from the outside, although Duncan scored 29 points and ten rebounds in a limited playing time of 27 minutes, his teammates were not good, and he had no choice.
Then he played against the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers at home. Although Allen Iverson was on the verge of injury, Duncan burst into a rushing spirit when facing Chris Webber, and took the initiative to ask for more playing time. He finally scored 27 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and four blocks, winning the data. At the same time, the team also won, and Duncan also smiled on his always dull face.
Chris Webber is known as "the most gorgeous power forward in history." In terms of inside offense skills and comprehensiveness, only Duncan can compete with him, but one wins in gorgeousness and the other wins in simplicity. At the same time, his passing skills and passing vision are also the top level in the inside. In addition to being less stable in performance and slightly inferior in defense, Chris Webber was reluctant to give up even Garnett in front of him during his glorious period.
Duncan is extremely rare to fight when he meets him. However, Chris Webber is no longer the Chris Webber he used to be. No matter how talented a player is, he cannot withstand the invasion of injuries. What's more, he encountered a knee injury that the most hurt by basketball players. Duncan was not bored to deliberately bully Webber in this state, but wanted to have fewer and fewer opportunities to fight with the other party, so he cherished the opportunity to fight with him.
Chris Webber's performance in this game cannot be said to be poor, with 26 points and 12 rebounds, but most of his scores were obtained through mid-range shots. The changeable offensive methods in the past have been rarely seen. Although he is only three years older than Duncan, Duncan is still at the end of his career. However, he is already at the end of his career, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the end of his hero.
Stephen all knew this through Robert Horry next to him. Since Duncan spent more than thirty minutes, Robert Horry sat next to Stephen throughout the game, and explained to Stephen in a narration that he and Chris Webber were basically people of the same era, but in terms of fame, the other party has been much better than him since college, so he was also very regretful when narrating.
