Sharp mind, but blunted "spurs". How the team prepares for the departure of a great coach

What to expect in the NBA from the San Antonio Spurs in what could be Greg Popovich's last season as head coach.

In the last couple of seasons, time has stopped in San Antonio. Greg Popovich's resigned despondency is often correlated with two losses, both of which, purely humanly, greatly shook the worldview of the 72-year-old specialist. First, on April 18, 2018, his wife Erin passed away. And three months later, the Spurs, after a long and inflamed conflict, were forced to exchange Kawhi Leonard, a player whom Popovich treated with paternal warmth and in whom he saw a replacement for Tim Duncan and the face of the club for many years.

https://twitter.com/nbatv/status/1009428155449344001

Since then, the Spurs have been stuck in a deadlock with old-formation stars Demar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge, with their usual off-season passivity and clear winter re-signs. guidelines and goals. Principles prevented Popovich from draining seasons in search of young talent, and he would hardly have agreed to go for such maneuvers for the sake of a player inferior in playing and human qualities to Tim Duncan, and such come across once in several generations.

San Antonio failed to compete with the strongest due to archaic methods and poor recruitment. If it weren’t for the ability to catch accommodating, but not too talented performers in the middle of the draft and then bring them to mind, one could say that the Spurs recuse themselves and lead a vegetative lifestyle in the league.

https://twitter.com/hoopanalysisnet/status/1446486649559416834

Everything changed this summer. In August, the Spurs traded their last all-star player, Demar DeRozan, to the Bulls without much resistance, receiving Al-Farouq Amina and Thaddeus Young in exchange.

A few days later, Popovich won the Olympic gold with the national team, rehabilitated for 7th place at the 2019 World Cup and successfully closed the issue of succession after Mike Krzyszewski. And if the gold was given to the team without visible effort, then Popovich himself emphasized that in many matches he physically experienced the strongest excitement and stress, therefore, subsequent publications with an emphasis on the honorary resignation from the post of the Stars and Stripes coach in favor of the current Warriors coach Steve Kerr seemed quite logical.

And now, many sources close to the Spurs are reporting that this season will likely be the last of Popovich's coaching career. For San Antonio, this is most likely good, albeit sad news. It doesn't mean that the Texas club is going to spur it right now and break into the playoffs, nor does it mean that the team is going to give up the season right now for the privilege of being promoted in the next draft.

https://twitter.com/raw_chili/status/1447257138892611595

Over the years in San Antonio, Popovich has become such an influential figure that for a long time it is his word that is the last and defining one, regardless of whose names are in columns of President for Basketball Operations and General Manager. Popovich's departure from the post of coach does not mean his farewell to the organization - he will never leave the Spurs.

If the information about the departure is reliable, then the coach Popovich will try to do everything to transfer everything to the manager Popovich in the proper order - without toxic contracts and serious financial obligations. Next summer, the Spurs will be among the clubs whose salary cap space will allow them to make quality acquisitions. Of course, in the event that the team changes the vector of movement and does not act as timidly as it has been for the past few years. Popovich, a functionary, will have the opportunity to strengthen and smoothly move into perestroika.

And for this, Popovich the coach will not have to sacrifice his reputation. San Antonio and the coach himself will try to make every effort to ensure that Popovich leaves the team with his head held high. With the carnage that will unfold for the distribution of spots in the playoffs, getting into the play-in can be considered a ceiling for the Spurs.

There are no basketball players capable of making a game in the current San Antonio, but there is a solid depth, which is inhabited by players similar in average level and interchangeability. There is a large Peltl, who defends the paint well, a whole school of defenders (Dejonte Murray, Jaylen Morris, Lonnie Walker, Kelson Johnson, Bryn Forbes) who work great on the perimeter.

The regular season should become a kind of testing ground for Popovich, where he will identify weaknesses in player combinations and build the team's defense. Precisely defense, because nothing good can be expected from the Spurs attack: last season, none of the players in the starting five attacked from behind the arc with an accuracy of more than 35%. Popovich's rejection of 3-point basketball with an abundance of snipers has long borne fruit - in most cases, San Antonio simply fails to score more points, rivals do it faster and with fewer shots.

https://twitter.com/spurs_nation/status/1444436480718475271

Coming from Indiana this offseason, Doug McDermot is unlikely to be able to single-handedly change the traditional way. Therefore, for San Antonio, the basic algorithm is quite clear: work on the variability of combinations and not allow yourself to completely fail in defense, and when it comes time for decisive matches, where the game traditionally becomes tighter and slower, try to make the most of your ability to defend yourself.

It doesn’t sound as bravura as a triumphant march in honor of the great military leader who was victoriously retiring, but in the end, there were a lot of victorious chords in Greg Popovich’s coaching career, and the tone is completely different now, the main thing is not to fake it.

San Antonio Spurs Greg Popovich Basketball NBA

Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Barry: 'It pisses me off when LeBron or Jordan is called the greatest ever'

Football has had a huge impact on Kobe, San Antonio and Hakim Olajuwon. And now he is changing basketball and the NBA - Personal foul - Blogs

In the article about basketball unicorns, I mentioned that many good basketball players played different sports in their youth.

Now I would like to take a closer look at the connection between basketball and football. But this text is not about LeBron buying a stake in Liverpool, Griezmann dressing up as a Harlem Globetrotters player, and Shaq supporting for Northampton Town.

I would like to focus on how basketball players benefit from playing football and how football can transform American basketball in the future.

FOOTWORK

Hakim Olajuwon grew up in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city. And for the first 15 years of his life, he mostly played football.

“Usually Hakim stood at the gate. Long arms already then helped him to beat off the blows of the attackers. Sometimes he went into the field as a defender, but he never missed the opportunity to run into the attack and try to score a goal, ”says Olajuwon's biography by Matt Christopher (children's book, but the other was not in the public domain).

You can read about football goalkeepers in Gleb Cherniavsky's blog ( here and here ). According to the materials, it is clear that although the goalkeepers hit the balls with their hands, they do it due to the work of the legs and the constant tension of the mind.

It's not for me to tell you about the greatness of Hakim, who combined outstanding anthropometry, game intelligence, mobility/footwork and character. Better read the recent text by Artem Panchenko or his material of 2013 about training with Moses Malone.

I will only add that even at 50 years old (!) Hakim moved softly and aesthetically against the background of LeBron (!!), let alone the best years.

Another thing is that when they tried to adapt the same body skills like an owl on a globe for a less gifted player — turned out to be something like . And I suppose that Hakim, unlike Howard, absorbed the same "foundation" through football, among other things.

Joel Embid's story is broadly similar to what Hakim went through. And one of these common features is the love of football. The Cameroonian himself claims to be the best player in the current NBA.

In the video below, next to Embid - Clint Capela (Swiss, played football until the age of 13).

Así se divierten #JoelEmbiid y #ClintCapela en #Cardiff con motivo de la final de la #UCL. ¡Fantastico! ⚽️🏀 pic.twitter.com/0Z244tyEhS

— G. Gabriel Garduño (@GabGardh) June 2, 2017

And if the art of playing through the post (where footwork is key) is still alive in the NBA, then Embid is one of those who keep it afloat.

Toni Kukoc was a great table tennis player as a child and won regional level tournaments at the junior level. At the age of 12, under the influence of his father, he became infected with football and until the age of 16 he dreamed of one day getting into the local Hajduk. Tony's father was a goalkeeper, so Kukoc Jr. also tried himself in goal or played defense. At the age of 16, Tony grew 10-15 cm in one summer (in his own words), so he decided to switch to basketball.

In terms of developing coordination, it is difficult to come up with a more deadly combination than football and table tennis. Kukoch first learned to move around the tennis table, where not even a step to the left or right can play a key role, but the transfer of the body's center of gravity to select the optimal position for hitting. After that, he kind of reached a new level (at the gate), where you need to cover a large area.

Even before moving to basketball, Kukoc acquired footwork and concentration skills, improved coordination and reaction. It only remained to get used to the new body.

Janis Krumins came to basketball very late - at the age of 23. Yes, and he didn’t come himself, but Gomel Sr. dragged him. Krumins had previously been lured by javelin, boxing and wrestling coaches, but apparently no one was as persistent as Gomelsky. Giant dimensions (218/140), physical strength, even a low percentage of fat (as Gomelsky himself writes in the book Centers) - Krumins had everything. It only remained to make a basketball player out of him. And Gomelsky did it, and in just a couple of years. Not the last role in this was played by football.

This is what Vladimir Gomelsky writes in his book “Papa. Great coach”:

“And how dad taught Krumins to catch the ball! I will never forget how he put him in the football goal and hit him with a penalty kick with a basketball, demanding that the ball not be beaten, but caught.

Later I saw that Volodya Tkachenko and Vitya Pankrashkin were also taught to catch the ball, who was far from being as tall and not as physically strong as Krumins - in general, all tall people were taught to catch the ball in this way.

Another proof of A.Ya. Gomel.

MOVING WITHOUT THE BALL

Another problem with the most star-striped sports, baseball and football, is that there is very little running.

Runner's World's article states that in baseball, in game situations, athletes run less than 100 meters per game. In American football, the most mobile positions (receivers and cornerbacks) run about 2 km per game. In the NBA, core players (30+ minutes per game) run about 4-5 km. In football - 8-11 km.

At the same time, the average speed of movement of basketball players on the court is also easier to compare with football than with baseball or American football. The first two games are designed for a large amount of passive movement, and the second two are for sharp bursts of maximum speed with significant pauses between.

The average speed of an NBA player is about 6.5-7 km/h. The top players of the Champions League are moving at a speed of about 8 km/h. Although there are exceptions here and there.

For example, James Harden was the NBA's top slow-moving starter for the 2019/20 season (averaging around 5.6 km/h). This figure fits perfectly into the overall impression of Harden's game. In a one-on-one situation, the leader of the Rockets uses long periods of lulling dribbling and looks for weaknesses in the opponent’s defensive stance, after which he makes a sharp jerk like a snake and decides the episode in a second or two. Similarly, at the current stage of his career, the leader of Barcelona, ​​Lionel Messi, is acting, who often walks around the field on foot and moves at an average speed of even less than 5 km / h, but at the right moment he accelerates and creates momentum.

I inserted a comparison with a snake in Harden's description for a reason. There was one player in the NBA who compared himself to a snake, although he acted in a not very similar manner.

Ben Taylor, author of the book and podcast Thinking Basketball shortly before Kobe Bryant's death, made out what was the key difference between the former Lakers leader and Harden and due to which Bryant added efficiency in the playoffs.

In short, Kobe moved well without the ball. And I would suggest that he owes this dignity to football.

His father, Joe Bryant, spent about half of his basketball career in Italy and moved his family with him, so Kobe was fluent in Italian, supported Milan and planned to become a professional football player. Later in the NBA, it turned out that few superstars understand the geometry of the game as thoroughly as Kobe.

“You see how all the players move around the court. You see the whole combination. I played a lot of football as a child, so my eye and my brain got used to seeing combinations that involved three or four players, and not one or two.

Strategy is important in football. You must know what you will do with the ball before it hits you. I liked the idea that the ball moves from one player to another very quickly, so you need to make decisions instantly and see what is happening around, ”said Bryant in an interview.

Yes, someone associates Kobe with the words "edinal". But he won all his championship rings by playing next to someone who takes up space and time in possession of the ball, be it Shaq or Gasol. And in both cases, Bryant found a way to be helpful. One can, of course, argue what came first - a chicken or an egg, in the sense of Kobe with or without a ball. But everything points to the fact that moving without the ball is the very “fundamental” skill that you can do without in the regular season, but it will be tight in the playoffs.

MOVEMENT OF THE BALL

Basketball is a game of thinking on the go, making decisions in 4-in-3, 3-in-2 and 2-in-1 situations, it is the constant movement of players, improvisation and situational thinking. But winning situations are difficult to generate if the ball itself does not move.

“If I were the head of all American basketball, then I would make sure that young basketball players all play football. The problem is that now any novice player is trying to get around the other due to dribbling, to beat him one on one. As a result, they turn out to be extremely gifted in terms of dribbling, but do not know how to pass or move correctly. Football could teach them this.

If children understand, for example, the triangle principle on the court, then they understand that they need to pass or fall under the basket behind their opponent. That's the essence of football - you look for the right angle, create an opportunity to attack and thus generate scoring chances, ”says Steve Kerr, Golden State head coach and NBA champion with Chicago and San Antonio.

When discussing ball movement, the Spurs cannot be ignored.

I don't know if Greg Popovich deliberately recruited players from outside the US. But it was in them that he saw the qualities that he highly valued. First of all, this is a gaming IQ, which simultaneously combines

1. understanding the principles of basketball as a team game
2. ability to carry out coaching instructions
3. unusual thinking

About the third point - a little lower, now about the first. But both of these elements can be associated with football. Because those who have played football know

• it is just as important to part with the ball in time as it is to be able to handle it

• the more the ball is in the hands (feet) of one player, the easier it is for the opposing team

Of course, there are exceptions. If you have Harden/Messi in your team, who can wind up 2-3-4 opponents due to dribbling in a limited space, great for you. And if they are not? Then the “running walls” become a more acceptable option.

“Europeans are very different from North American players in terms of team play. They generally seem to play different types of basketball. I think it has a lot to do with football." - Frank Vogel, who played football himself in high school and coached his daughter's football team.

Josep Guardiola, during his time at Bayern, once quoted Gregg Popovich with the phrase "it takes time to achieve success." Popovich built and built and built his best creation in 15 years.

San Antonio 2013/14 : no players who spend more than 30 minutes on the court, 9 foreigners (+ Tim Duncan from the Virgin Islands).

The Spurs have been doing this for a long time, running tiki-taka on the floor. Their player passes and does not even think who the ball goes to. He just knows that someone has to open up, get the ball and pass again. They practice this so that they don’t have to think in the game, but everything is done on instincts. They know that the reaction of the defense will tell them the best option. They play very smoothly and harmoniously.” – Marc Gasol

COURT VISION AND IMAGINATION

Off-ball movement and ball movement is great. I would even say it's beautiful. But even more beautiful is when a player with non-standard thinking comes up with something like that.

“NBA players with a football background have a different imagination. In football, you have many options, you can try each of them and see what works and what doesn't. Take at least Ginobili. He has an incredibly developed basketball fantasy. He plays with imagination and disinterestedly, because that's how football works. He just transferred it to basketball. That's why it's such a pleasure to watch him play, ”says Mike Conley.

In the case of a successful pass, not one player is involved in the process, but at least two. All five players can participate in a successful combination.

The beauty of smart transmission lies in collective success.

A good vision of the site is also attractive in that it introduces the viewer to the possibility, the existence of which a second ago he did not know.

Inventive pass, in my opinion, worthy of admiration. It is like a cool movie or a picture when you feel that this is exactly what was on your tongue, and someone formulated it for you.

And for some reason, I'm not surprised that Steve Nash also dreamed of a football career as a child, and after completing basketball, almost completely switched to football .

TRAINING SYSTEM

A major milestone for the future of the NBA happened in April of this year when Jaylen Green became the first player to sign with a G-League team of high school talent who decided to forego compulsory college education.

What is important here:

1. Green will earn $500,000 in one year of playing in the Development League and will be able to enter the draft in 2021.
2. Greene is a five-star prospect and ESPN's 2020 Alumnus Basketball Player of the Year.

And this is just the beginning.

"The NBA wants to see 4-5 similar teams in the Development League in the future that could form a division and play among themselves," says April news on Sports.ru about Green's decision.

The NBA wants not only to return the right to choose students in the draft, but also to create an alternative to college education. When Svetislav Pesic grumbles at that "the NCAA doesn't train players anymore", then there's a grain of salt in that, and the NBA sees it too.

Now a promising basketball player has a choice. If you don't want to study, you don't have to. You can immediately go and play with representatives of the second tier of the NBA and develop in the structure of the league under the supervision of coaches who also aim at at least assistants in the NBA. You will also earn money honestly without fussing with envelopes. Yes, and advertising contracts can be concluded early.

The NBA is cautiously attempting to take the path that football took decades ago. Even in the American MLS, each club has its own academy. Teams receive exclusive rights to players born within a radius of 120 km from their home stadium. And they are already making some progress - FC Dallas, for example, brought up Weston McKenny, who was lured to the German Schalke.

FC Dallas is on the right track. This is our future. We need to get rid of the AAU,” says Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

In The Ringer about the Dallas football academy, Cuban claims that he has been "pushing the idea of ​​creating academies in the NBA for 10 years," but so far to no avail.

“The idea is to get kids and their families interested in basketball and get them involved with the Mavericks. We need to be able to give kids a better basketball education without outside interference,” Cuban said.
