Now we need an ugly victory. Wenban is the base, and the defender s ability determines the team s upper limit.

Three consecutive wins started the game, and the results were of course very satisfying, but some people were a little disappointed.

Although Fox and Sohan have not returned now, and Kornet did not play in this game against the Nets, our Spurs are not a complete team; but the opponents in these three games either lack important players, are tank teams, or the lineup has also experienced main players. In the running-in period, to put it bluntly, the gold content of these three victories is not high.

The Spurs are still in a low-key development stage. The most important thing now is to work hard to win every victory, even if it is ugly, because we urgently need to enter the playoffs to upgrade experience and truly test the lineup.

Chips must be spent wisely. If you don't experience the playoffs and understand the intensity of the championship team, you will never know where the core ceiling and flaws are.

Unless the Spurs cannot make the playoffs this season when Wenban only accounts for more than 10 million in salary and has 50 million in Fox's help, there is no need for the Spurs to spend their future assets in a hurry.

At the beginning of the season, some people can’t wait to trade XXX, and do YY without considering the market conditions at all.

There is no need for Barnes to scold a veteran whose contract is expiring. If he is truly a Buddhist, he can just not renew it when it expires. (Don’t have high expectations for Barnes. His main offensive ability has been proven as early as the Mavericks. He can’t resist the production and efficiency. Some people also call him to attack independently. If he can attack independently, why don’t the Kings keep him? His only offensive tactical value now is the corner three-pointer. If he can't even do this well, there is really no need to keep the price of 20 million)

Castle has proven in these three games that he cannot beat the main point in the hearts of Spurs fans because of his passing. The intention is too obvious, the passing method is single, and the overall situation is not good, but his breakthrough ability, at least until Fox returns, is indispensable for the Spurs. When Wenban gets the ball at the top of the arc and is forced to play one-on-one, and the efficiency is not good, without Fox, who can tear apart the defense? Isn't it just Castle? If you regard Castle as a young Smart who is one size older, you should be able to accept a lot of his performance. (Castle's development direction is on the wing, similar to the offensively enhanced versions of Smart and Payton Jr.)

The reason why the Spurs, almost 10 years ago, are not satisfied with the wave of guards is that they were too happy with Parker and Manu. It seems that guards should have the ability to make unlimited one-on-one breakthroughs, as well as skilled mid-range shooting skills, and the ability to pass the ball in a small range with big men in pick-and-rolls.

For many years, what you thought was "normal" was just because you once had a guard of that level. Not all guards are like that. Due to explosive power and skills, there are many guards who do not have the ability to explode one-on-one at one point. There are also many guards who are not good at pick-and-rolls, do not have enough three-point threats, and master-class passing. (In those years, the Spurs' tactics in the last five minutes, Manu took the ball at the top of the arc and scored one-on-one again and again, gave people the illusion that if the defender gave him a one-on-one opportunity, he should score...)

I always remember that after the glory of 14 years, when Manu Even though he is old, he can still play pick-and-roll with Duncan, and he can still hit the ground and pass to the big man accurately at the right time. What the famous CCTV speaker said: Cherish the last performance of the old star. Just this seemingly simple pass is enough for many young guards to learn for a lifetime.

Harper is indeed gratifying. His organization and overall view are the best in the team now, but at least when he grows into a quasi-star, there is no talk of trading the Fox. I really think that the defender who has 23+ points all year round and a 46% shooting rate is a cabbage.

It’s not that the Foxes and Harper can’t coexist, but that requires forward positions 3 and 4 to be both mobile and capable of unlimited defense changes.

Vassell's shooting percentage has been better in recent games. The key is to reduce ineffective speculation. Leave the task of breaking through and tearing apart the opponent's defense to others, and just be prepared to catch and shoot; on the defensive end, he no longer gambles and steals rashly. At least in the low-end games, Wow Sai can still play. His embarrassment is that he does not have speed and breakthrough when playing the 2nd position, and he cannot match the real striker when playing the 3rd position.

In the final analysis, the Spurs' current basic plan is one based on the defense built by Wenban, and the other depends on the defender. Whether it can make Wenban's offense comfortable, your defender can score suddenly, allowing Wenban to frequently cut in and easily attack in the air. The Spurs' offense is smooth. Your defender is not threatening enough to break through and the ball cannot move. The ball can only be positioned in a positional battle, forcing Wenban to stand still. The ball is hard-hit one-on-one, or he wants the ball with his back, facing double teams all the time, but there is no three-point response from the outside, so I will stop attacking.
