The Spurs were defeated by the Nuggets this season, leaving fans and pundits deeply helpless. Some netizens pointed out that Popovich wants to copy the Robinson + Duncan combination, so he has to put it up for another season to strive for the top spot. However, there is still hope for the Spurs, and Duncan has predicted that rookie Wenban will also become the best person in the future. Bunban's style of play is different from Duncan's, more of an outside projection, but the potential is limitless. The strength of the Spurs' support staff is limited, and Wenban is fighting alone, and it is difficult to support it alone, and he needs more help. If the point guard can be supplemented next year, and the veteran can organize the formation, Wenban can shine. Now the focus is to accumulate experience for Wenban's training, and next year to make internal adjustments and the introduction of foreign aid, the goal of impacting the championship is still there.
The biggest black humor of the Spurs' defeat by the Nuggets was that they left the game in a hurry without even saying hello. Some netizens pointed out that Coach Popovich is still imitating the twin towers combination of Robinson + Duncan, so he has to put another season in trouble and strive for the top pick to cultivate. After all, the Spurs still started with the twin towers. Duncan himself has predicted that rookie Wenban will become the future leader of the Spurs. This is no joke, with the Spurs' vision and training, Wenban's potential is unmatched.
Wenban's style of play is different from Duncan's, more like an outside pitcher. Duncan can make big kills in the restricted area, while Wenban is mostly active behind the three-point line. The Spurs' current role is mostly leftovers for low-post signing, and they can't organize too complex tactical coordination. It's better to put it in place for another year and strive for two cornerstones of team building. After all, Duncan was a senior rookie and was more mature, with two veterans Parker and Robinson around him. On Wenban's side, there is only DeJohn Murray Jr. who is still running-in.
Not to mention how a 19-year-old fresh meat can lead the army, the Spurs' teammates are mediocre in their own strength. It is also whimsical to ask an underage player to bring out good results. Let Wen Ban practice his hands first, and tailor tactics for him. If Wenban's strength is really strong, many superstars will also come to the Spurs.
The number of shots per game is still relatively small. Popovich is egalitarian and struggles to play style. The Spurs are still missing a playmaking core to teach rookies like Tony Parker does, and DeJohn Murray's progress this year is a good example. Wenban needs more guidance, and Duncan had Parker and Robinson by his side. That's the difference between teammates and the environment. Personally, the 19-year-old Wenban can't be compared to the 21-year-old MVP.
Let Wen Ban practice first, and next year the Spurs will bring in a high-post point guard, plus a veteran-level playmaker. Paired with the vigorous rookie twin towers, the Spurs can make a comeback and reach the Finals again.
