Chapter 146
On the bench, Duncan, Ginobili and David Robinson were sitting on the bench in baggy sweatshirts, their eyes equally fixed on the court.
After seeing Popovich and Chang Tiancheng walk in, Duncan got up and said, "You guys are here, come and sit down." As he spoke, he pointed to the chair beside him.
And Chang Tiancheng was still immersed in shock. The Spurs players went to Wembanyama's house to play a training game and they didn't receive any notice, which is a bit unbelievable, have they been kicked out of the circle?
Ginobili seemed to understand what Chang Tiancheng was thinking, so he took the initiative to explain.
"But Coach Popovich said that you went to the team's training gym in the morning to practice? David Robinson took over the conversation, and at the same time observed Chang Tiancheng's ankle with some curiosity.
Of course, Chang Tiancheng wouldn't tell him that after yesterday's fierce battle with the Bucks, his steel and iron skills had been upgraded again, and this time the upgrade speed was much faster than before, which also allowed Chang Tiancheng to get rid of the stereotype that "the higher the skill level, the more experience is required, and the slower the upgrade".
Judging from the previous game experience, Chang Tiancheng boldly guessed that this steel and iron bone skill is probably a skill that will greatly increase the experience value until he is injured on the court.
The last promotion was also due to the Achilles tendon injury he suffered against Mitchell's Cavaliers last season, which suddenly made the level rise a lot.
It seems that this system is quite intimate, knowing that it is better to upgrade those parts that are weaker in the game.
"Actually, the swelling has subsided yesterday, and I feel good when I wake up this morning, so I'll go to train first." Chang Tiancheng responded to David Robinson as he sat down next to Duncan.
Since there was no scoreboard in this game, Chang Tiancheng had no way of knowing what the previous two teams had played.
However, the distribution of players in this game is quite interesting.
Suspended Drummond, Keldon, Collins, Vassell, McDermott first team.
Wembanyama, Sochan, Graham, Langford, Sandro in the first team.
There were two starters on each side, and the strength was basically balanced.
"How about the competition they organized themselves, isn't it positive?" Duncan rubbed his hands and said to Chang Tiancheng with some excitement, "And this should be the first time Wembanyama has led the team alone without you, although it is only a training match, but we also want to take this opportunity to see if he has the potential to become a big leader." "
I believe in Victor, he can for sure. Chang Tiancheng recalled Wembanyama's previous extreme responsibility for his body, as well as his various behaviors of summarizing and reviewing in time after facing failure and formulating a promotion plan, and expressed full confidence in Wembanyama.
"Oh, you have a good mentality, aren't you worried that we will build a team with him as the core from now on, thereby weakening your tactical position?" Duncan stared at Chang Tiancheng with interest, he tried to analyze Chang Tiancheng's real psychological state at this time through his professional knowledge of psychology.
"Come on Tim, you know me well, I just want to win. Chang Tiancheng smiled, "As long as I can win, it doesn't matter if my own data is zero, as for who the Spurs are as the core, in fact, I have never cared." All I can say is that if the team wants to play around me, then I'm going to take responsibility. And if the team wants to play around Victor, I'm going to do my best to help him.
Duncan was surprised to find that what Chang Tiancheng said was really from the heart, which also made him feel Chang Tiancheng's purity again.
As he spoke, Wembanyama received another inside pass from Sandro and an empty two-handed dunk in the face of Drummond.
"I've watched every game Victor has played this season and in my opinion, although his performance has been quite good, there are still some minor problems. David Robinson on the side took the initiative to express his opinion, "Let's talk about defense first, I think he has almost no flaws on the defensive end, the only point is the lack of confrontation, but this is not something that can be made up for in a short time, so we don't have to rush."
David Robinson cleared his throat: "I'll talk about his offensive end, the most important thing is that his shooting and scoring efficiency in the NBA has dropped a lot compared to when he was in the French league, especially the three-point shot. I think he actually created a lot of misplaced or open three-pointers on the court, but he only made a handful of shots. Speaking of his mid-pitch, to be honest, I watched him in the French league before, and mid-pitch is almost an unsolvable trick for him, but he has used very little this season. Obviously, the intensity of the physical confrontation has not gone up, but he still likes to ask for the ball in the low post, Bobo, I think you should really help him adjust his offensive mode. "
What's the hurry, isn't this his first year, I don't want him to be constrained by various tactics in his first year, I want him to slowly understand in the game." Popovich didn't seem to be a little impressed, "His offensive efficiency is not as high as we thought it would be, but at least the defense has fully met expectations, and even exceeded our expectations, and that's enough." As for the offense, if he really can't open it, don't we still have Chang?"
After speaking, Popovich turned his head to Chang Tiancheng: " Chang, in fact, I sometimes admire you, although I have long known that you are a person who does not care about the ownership of the ball, but knowing that you are the team's most stable scoring point, you are still willing to help your teammates find their hands first, and sometimes even willing to continue to feed Victor when he has a bad hand, to help him build confidence, and he occasionally controls the court through unreasonable three-point shots. Chang, you're hiding very deeply..."
"It's over, coach. Chang Tiancheng also laughed, "I just did what every point guard does."
Ginobili shook his head: "You're wrong, Chang." Nowadays, young people are all thinking about how to attack with the ball on their own, and there are not many people like you who are willing to share the ball. "
