Chapter 2 Spurs

The NBA is a gathering place for outstanding players in the world. It represents the highest palace of basketball. It is a gathering of elites and no one is truly weak.

Radar came to the San Antonio Spurs and looked at the shining silver and black spear outside AT&T Arena. This place would be the beginning of my dream journey.

San Antonio, one of the three major towns in Texas, is the city with the lowest sense of presence. It is obviously powerful but has to keep a low profile. The Spurs are just like this city, quiet and elegant, so this team can compete with San Antonio.

The city is a perfect fit.

Radar followed the staff into the Spurs' home arena. He opened his mouth like a country bumpkin entering the city and exclaimed. The huge arena is several times larger than the Hangzhou Stadium, with nearly 20,000 seats.

Speaking of NBA arenas, each home court has a special story, and the Spurs arena is the most popular with animals. Manu Ginobili once split a bat with one hand in the arena, and the Spurs mascot is the Little Wolf.

I also used a net to catch bats everywhere.

Um, isn't the word "bat" a bit sensitive? Are you sure you're not afraid of radar?

Closer to home, the radar scanned the sky above the stadium. Five championship flags were so dazzling. In 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014, this was a dynasty called the Spurs.

The retired jerseys flying in the arena made Radar even more yearning.

The Spurs are relatively low-key in the NBA, and there are always many big-name stars in history. The first one is naturally George Gervin, known as the "Ice Man", who is as graceful as a dance for layups, and has a "soft finger"

reputation, this technique is also one of the offensive methods currently used by radar.

The No. 50 jersey belongs to Admiral David Robinson. Ronaldo led the Spurs in the 1990s to become a strong player. His personal strength is very strong, and his defense is particularly outstanding. The best defensive player award is also a recognition of him.

Shaquille O'Neal, Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, and Admiral David Robinson were the four major centers of the 1990s, and they were like beasts.

However, the Admiral was alone and could not lead the Spurs to win the championship. It was not until the 1997 draft that the Spurs drafted Tim Duncan, the greatest power forward in NBA history.

Arrived at the first championship trophy.

But Luo Luo is old after all, and the Spurs' scepter has been handed over to Duncan. Even as strong as Duncan, he also needs helpers in the NBA. Popovich spreads the beans and becomes an army, and Parker and Manu protect the law. The GDP combination is established.

, and this started a dynasty called the Spurs.

Looking at the history of the Spurs for more than 20 years, the GDP combination is so powerful. In good times, they look to Parker, in bad times, they look to Duncan, and in desperate times, they rely on Manu. Under the leadership of Popovich, they perform perfect team basketball.

Duncan, this unattractive big man, is steady and restrained, but he is the best rookie, five-time championship, 3-time FMVP, 2-time regular season MVP, 15-time All-Star, and 10-time All-NBA First Team.

Parker and Manu also have countless honors, such as Sixth Man of the Year, All-Star, etc.

Thinking of these Spurs legends, Radar felt reverence and at the same time smiled slightly. History is history after all, it is all past. In the future, I will definitely not be worse than you.

"Wow, welcome to you, an outstanding defender from China!"

Proficient English interrupted Radar's thoughts. He turned around and saw a 1.98 man wearing a white shirt saying hello to him.

Who is this person? Radar never expected that the first person he saw after coming to the Spurs would be him, the bald man known as the Demon Sword, Ginobili.

Now Manu is one of the assistant coaches of the Spurs. His player days have passed. Manu has the potential to be an excellent coach. He has received the true inheritance from Pop. Now he is just waiting for the old man to say "I quit, and you finally got your wish."

Already."

"Hi, nice to meet you, Senior Manu." Radar responded very humbly.

"Little guy, what are you thinking about?" Manu showed his trademark smile and walked to Radar.

"My thoughts just now spanned half a century, from the time you played for the Spurs to the end of my career. Unfortunately, you interrupted me." Radar joked. Now that I think about it, it's all thanks to my good friend Fang Lu.

Ah, if I hadn't crammed English in high school, I would be embarrassed now.

"Oh, okay, blame me." Ginobili patted Radar on the shoulder and continued: "But, little guy, what should I call you?"

"lie~da~" Ginobili said the Chinese name of Radar very hard.

"You can call me Ray, this is my English name."

"Okay, this makes it easier to talk. Let's go, I'll take you to meet a few people."

Radar followed Ginobili and met the team's management. These people must be known. Spurs general manager RC. Buford, two-time manager of the year, under his hands, the Spurs once

Obtained a very profitable transaction, which was to send George Hill in exchange for the facially paralyzed Kawhi Leonard. Although there was some unpleasantness later, Kawhi still helped the Spurs win their fifth championship.

In this way, the general manager still has a certain way of looking at people.

Buford said that they will sign a contract with Radar as soon as possible and determine contract options and other issues, so Radar should not be anxious.

Radar had no experience in this, so Manager Liao and Wang Qinan of the Guangfeng team accompanied him. This made Radar feel more at ease, and he was very grateful to the two people who helped him along the way.

Therefore, in terms of the contract, don't worry too much, Manager Liao will not let himself suffer, and Wang Qinan serves as Radar's temporary agent and is also Radar's partner in the country of rice.

Radar saw the old man Popovich who was usually unsmiling and always got angry on the court.

"Hello coach, you can call me Ray. I am honored to join the Spurs. This is what I have been longing for all these years."

Gregg Popovich rarely smiled. He stared at Radar with alert eyes and said: "Ray, as a newcomer, you can remain humble, unlike some people who have high aspirations and low abilities. You should know that I have very high requirements for players."

Strict, this is a military-style management, I hope you can meet my requirements after officially joining the Spurs."

"I know the Spurs' management regulations very well, and I think we will be very happy in our future interactions." Radar responded with a smile, not being frightened by Bobo's sharp eyes.

Take it as it comes, I'm here to play ball, and I can accept all management and requirements that can bring me progress. Don't worry, I'm not someone who likes spicy chicken food and can't keep my mouth shut.

After walking out of the office, Manu continued to accompany Radar and said, "Lei, I see you are a little nervous."

Radar: "I'm fine!"

Manu: "I'll take you to meet another person. I think you must really want to see him, let's go."

The person Manu met with the radar was Dudu, the man who was called the Stone Buddha, Duncan.
