Introduction: As he grows older, Popovich’s past “weird tricks” on the court seem to have become less frequent, but his opponents have begun to pay tribute to him and “cut Split” from time to time. Tactics, here are the classic quotations about Popovich that I have collected and compiled. Everyone is welcome to read and refer to them! Popovich’s classic quotations 1
1. “On the matter of Phil, I personally "I'm shocked that he's coming back because it's a big deal for the league, especially when you think about his accomplishments and the numerous championships he's won, and having him back means there's something great to watch." - Response. Grudges with the Zen Master
2. “When I went to St. Croix (Duncan’s hometown) to meet Tim 8 or 9 years ago, no one told me (to drive on the left side),… …So I drove on the road in a rented car, and after pointing fingers at almost 10 people, I realized that I was the bastard.”——Laughing at myself
3. “ Our defense sucks (suck), whether it's individual defense or collective defense, it sucks (suck). I don't know if I have a solution to this. If I did, it wouldn't suck (suck). "——A coach as prestigious as Popovich would still face the media like this
4. "Yes, that's right, we were all stunned"—— - Question: "Do you think this game was because you were not prepared before the game and were stunned by your opponent?" Popovich roared, "Who? Who said that to you?" The reporter was frightened, "... ..." The scene paused for three seconds, and Bobo said with a coquettish smile.
5. "Happy? Happy is not a word I would use in a competition. Give me another word. No one is happy in a competition. I don't even know how to define happiness."—— — when a reporter asked how "happy" the team was that it created so many scoring chances. Popovich's Classic Quotations Part 2
The Spurs won 67 games in the regular season this season and failed to advance to the Western Conference Finals, which also made many people regretful. However, although the season is over, please don't be sad, because this team has brought us many good memories along the way, and I still look forward to them bringing surprises in the future.
I have always said that Ray Mayong is the first-tier team in the Western Conference. Although the regular season record of 55 wins is far behind the Warriors and Spurs, the regular season has been intermittent and the new coach has arrived. There are certain reasons for the running-in. Besides, with 57 wins in the Eastern Cavaliers, who can underestimate their presence in the playoffs? Which Western Conference team can 100% guarantee that they can beat them?
This season is over, I I don’t want to be sensational and talk about the last season of GDP. After all, Duncan and Ginobili still have one year of player options. It is possible for them to exercise the player options or jump out and cut their salary and sign for another year.
The Spurs have always been a team that understands dry humor from top to bottom. I said before that I would write a quote about Bobo, but today I want to say goodbye with some interesting little jokes that happened to the Spurs. Spurs season.
On January 26 this year, the Spurs lost to the Warriors 90-120. Popovich: We almost beat them. Pop also said: I'm glad our general manager is not in the locker room, otherwise I might have been fired.
During the 2014 championship parade, Pop counted the championships with his hands on TV and said, not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, oh, Five!
2014 During the Finals, POP said before that Duncan wanted to play point guard. : "Tim (Duncan) thinks he's a point guard. He feels like we're limiting him." Duncan: He and I have been fighting about this for several years.
Regarding Duncan's retirement, POP said that his imagination was that in the third quarter of an away game, he walked back to the locker room and never came back.
When asked if he had studied rocket science, Pop replied: "I studied aerospace engineering and astronomy engineering."
Before the game, Bobo gave Tiago the starting spot. Reporters expressed that they didn’t believe it until they saw Tiago before the jump ball! Then during the game, everyone discovered that it was indeed Da Bangshen who started...
2014 On June 9, also during the Finals, the Spurs coach asked a reporter a question at the press conference before the game. Pop was very happy: Great, thank you.
In May 2014, Cole will serve as the head coach of the Warriors and will also help commentate the game for TNT. Pop was cute before the game: "I don't even know why I want to be interviewed by him (Cole). He is Competitors are now.”
Both of them are very funny. In the Spurs-Warriors game on March 20 this year, Steve Kerr took time to yell at the referee while yelling at Popovich. A smile: "You like that?" He is indeed Bobo's apprentice...
Playing against the Thunder in May 2014, POP: Both teams played very comfortably at their home court. So we chose not to go to OKC.
We were still playing the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. One morning, the Spurs didn’t have shooting practice. I was asked what they were doing. POP: Reading, sleeping, exercising, eating breakfast...any other personal things you want to do? You know? On Presti: Smart as a whip, you can tell just by talking to him. (Reporters kept asking Presti, POP was impatient: Sammy, Sammy, Sammy, I’m starting to get annoyed. A reporter asked why he was given a chance, POP: I’ve already said it, do you want me to make something up? [Haha])
A reporter asked Manu if there was any problem with him returning to the locker room early? POP: He will be fine. OR HE WILL MISS THE REST OF THE PLAYOFFS (He will miss the rest of the playoffs, running against Presti and saying that Ibaka was reimbursed but came back. Everyone laughed, including the old man)
The reporter asked: " What do you think of the Thunder's change?" POP: "I don't know how they changed." "Ibaka and Jackson." POP: Well, we still use the same starters as before. Reporter: What are you eating in OKC? POP: Do you want to get me into trouble... Reporter: You don't want to talk about the game, so... POP: A lot of places are good... Reporter :What recommendation? POP: If you recommend it, you should be unhappy if you don’t recommend it.
Reporter: Is there really a ghost in the hotel you are staying in? If so, who will say boo first? Pop: People keep telling me (there is a ghost), but I have never encountered it. Some people really believe it. (Ghosts are worried?...)
In November 2014, at the beginning of the regular season, POP said Kawhi: The future is his. I don't think Duncan and Manu will play until they are 60. Then POP said that Duncan and Ginobili will only play for 6-7 more years...
Reporter: You allowed Ade to score 30 points on the field, but you only allowed him to score 12 points this time. What are the restrictions? His POP: I have no clue.
In 2013, during the Spurs-Grizzlies Western Conference Finals, the pre-game press conference was very close to the press room and the Grizzlies locker room. You could clearly hear the rap songs from the other side, and Bobo also heard the music. I looked at the place and was asked if he liked this music. Bo Shuai said, this (rap music) is one of the things that will help you retire.
When asked whether his star became a coach like Kobe when he was on hiatus, Popovich said, "We Duncan basically don't say a word."
Sager: How did you keep LeBron out of the paint? Pop: I have no clue (I have no clue)
The Lakers had a lot of injured players one year. One of their games, everyone knew that six-offenders could return when no one was playing. Mr. POP: I learned a lot yesterday.
In 2013, before a game, the substitute reporter from the Spurs official website chatted with me and asked McHale if he was easy to talk to. I said it was okay, easier to talk to than POP. He was silent for a while and said: This league is basically As a coach, it’s better to interview than POP~
On May 28, 2013, before the Western Conference Finals, he was asked whether the story of the stone and the hammer affected the game. Pop said, this paragraph was made in our locker room. The only thing we have become accustomed to in 17 years (if anyone doesn't know, the stone and the hammer to the effect) is that when faced with difficulties and unable to do anything, I will watch the stonemason knocking the stone, and the stone still does not move 100 times, and the stone cracks 101 times. This The passage is hung in and outside the Spurs locker room in multiple languages)
On May 7, 2013, Ginobili made a life-saving three-pointer in the playoffs. Speaking of Ginobi. After Leigh's two three-pointers, Pop said, "I wanted to trade him, but I wanted to cook breakfast for him."~~
Question: How to improve your shooting percentage? Pop's answer: Put the ball in the basket Basketball
During the 2012 Western Conference Finals, a reporter from the Thunder asked after the game why the score in the second quarter was not good. Pop said, look, this is a good question, and then answered: Because we scored in the second quarter. Not good...(We have sucked in the second quarter). When asked who the ball was handed to at the last minute, Pop: It’s a secret (I won’t tell you, I won’t tell you, I won’t tell you!)
In 2012, Popovich said again A cold joke: "I have never used the Shenma shark tactic. I think it is a very bad thing and goes against the spirit of sportsmanship." Then, "This is a good move, a coup, and a good strategy. It was also against the Thunder this year. In the playoffs, the old man said: I want some nasty! Hit me harder!!
Popovich teased Duncan for scoring 25,000: I told Aron Baynes, 'You You know, if he shoots as much as Tim (Duncan), it's not a big deal, he can score 25,000 points. Duncan, you know, he can score 25,000 points. It's very selfish. He doesn't play with his teammates. It's terrible. (Everyone laughs, the cute old man)
Ginobili is so arrogant. The topic of his Twitter when he announced that he will play for another year is (if. If I don’t play) TD (Duncan) will miss me too much.
At the press conference after winning the finals, Duncan brought a pair of children to the press conference. The reporter asked Duncan’s children what they thought of their father today. How was his performance late? Duncan begged them: Come and say something nice about his father.
On May 21, 2014, Duncan was asked if he had given Kawaii any advice. Duncan said cutely: To be honest. They haven't talked to me much. Duncan also said today that I know that I can't do everything in the past, and my legs are not as good as before...
Duncan opened a modification. The car shop now has a second branch. Duncan sometimes visits the branch. He is a good friend of the store manager, so he occasionally teases him.
Duncan's Black Jack modified car shop. It also sells souvenirs such as T-shirts and hats. Sometimes, Duncan goes to his store to get clothes, but there are usually no 3XL sizes in the store, so he arrogantly says: "What kind of store of yours doesn't have all the numbers!"
Other times, he would deliberately play the role of a "picky" customer. When he arrived at the store, he would still talk about T-shirts, "The quality of your T-shirts is not good, they have shrunk!"
The clerk had no choice but to face the arrogant boss: "You are the boss, whatever you say will happen~"
I asked Duncan about the joke that everyone loves: What is the future? Whose? Duncan: The future is bright
Although the Spurs did not make it to the end this season, no matter how far they go, Popovich, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili have created something over the years. It's enough to have countless legends. Although I don't know what the future will bring, I still hope that the old gangsters can play for another year and have the most perfect ending.
