In 1967, the Dallas Bush team, the predecessor of Spurs, was officially established and joined the ABA League. At that time, the main colors of the team were red, white and blue.
Even though the Bush team entered the playoffs for five consecutive years in the 1967-72 season, it still couldn’t prevent Dallas team investors from withdrawing money: on March 26, 1973, only 134 tickets were sold in the last home game of the Dallas Bush team, which was financially awkward.
Dallas investment consortium sold the Bush team to the San Antonio consortium in 1973. The team officially moved to San Antonio. According to the final result of the public vote, the team name was “spurs”, black, white, silver has also become the main color of the team that has been used for Spurs.
The first show that moved to San Antonio Spurs sold 5879 tickets, and the team management introduced the 21-year-old “Iceman” George Gervin in January 1974, in January 1975, the ABA All-Star Game was held-three years, one step at a time, the road was ragged and the territory was expanded.
In 1976, the ABA league was unable to operate independently due to the lack of TV broadcasting contracts and financial losses left behind. ABA officially merged with NBA, and St Anthony Homa officially joined NBA.
From 1973to 2023, the five-decade long period: Spurs only missed the playoffs in 1984, 1987, 1989, 1997, 202020, 2021and 2022, taking into account this year’s strategic failure, he missed the playoffs, and in 50 years, he entered the playoffs in 42 years; In 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2007, he won the championship in odd-numbered years, four championships in nine years, and won the championship again in 2014, the first championship and the fifth championship spanned 16 years. After 37 wins and 13 losses in the 1998-99 suspension season, the team’s record has never been less than 50 wins for 18 consecutive years from 1999-2017!
Although Spurs is not three successive championships, it is not inferior to the traditional dynasty team. The ruling power of the full cycle of the past five decades not only amazed the time, but also milder the years.
Spurs is a team that pays attention to cultural inheritance. Leaders of all dynasties are humble, unobtrusive, calm and resolute, which has profoundly influenced the culture of Spurs in five or ten years.
George Gewen was the first leading figure after moving to San Antonio Spurs. The “bamboo pole type” of 2 m 01 was a slim and Long Feng Wei swing man, and he was the fourth scoring king, A super scoring machine that scored 63 points in 33 minutes in a single game.
George Gewen prefers Finger Roll, fast dry pull, slow pause jump shot, board jump shot, and back singles. He is calm and never makes a fuss about his scoring performance, always calmly and calmly launch the next attack. He had little sweat on his body and seemed to be able to beat his opponent elegant place without sweating. “iceberg slim” (slim iceberg) the nickname of “Iceman” has become the best interpretation of George Gewen’s character and ball style. Compared with Dr. J-and magicians, his style is efficient, practical and not gorgeous, and there are not many questions, all of which are very “spurs”.
David Robinson is the second generation leader in the history of the Spurs. He served in the U.S. Navy for two years after being selected by the champion in Spurs. He officially entered the NBA from 1989 to 90, this is also the origin of his nickname “admiral.
He is also known as the “four centers” with olajuwang, Ewing and O’Neal. He is 2 meters 16 meters tall and powerful, but he is a full-scale left-hand general with exquisite technology and ability. The 1990-91 season rebounder, during the 1991-92 season, the cap King, the scoring king in the 1993-94 season, and the MVP in the 1994-95 season, the rebounding, cap, scoring and leading abilities are all remarkable, which can be called the all-round super center of attack and defense at that time.
Popovich baby evaluation David Robinson: he is modest and doesn’t like to put the halo on his own head. He just wants to do something for the team silently. His character also affects the whole team.
In 1997, Tim Duncan, the number one, was extremely special for Spurs, Popovich baby and NBA. Since the 1997-2016 season, without Duncan, there has been no Spurs stable and strong for 19 consecutive years.
As one of the greatest cornerstone candidates in NBA history, “depending on the decision made by Tim Duncan and the selfless basketball of Tim Duncan, Duncan is the key to our realization of everything”, this is Popovich baby of the most pertinent comments on lovers.
After Duncan retired, the internal and external dual-core combination of Leonard and Aldridge was formed Spurs, and the fourth generation leader banner was handed over to Leonard. His nature is restrained, quiet and unobtrusive, and his attack and defense are integrated. His technical style is practical and not gorgeous. All of these are perfectly adapted to Spurs.
In Spurs 2017, VS Warriors westward G1, Leonard was injured, which became a lingering pain for Spurs. Leonard fell out with the team, and all the plans in the post-Duncan era in Popovich baby were out of the water. If Leonard didn’t get injured in G1 in 2017, Spurs probably didn’t need to be rebuilt, leonard’s application to leave the team directly caused Spurs to lose the fourth generation leader.
At present, Spurs is in the stage of strategic setup. The fundamental purpose of the ambition is to find a team building cornerstone and continue the team culture that has been interrupted since George Gewen, David Robinson and Duncan.
Popovich baby has been the general manager of Spurs since 1994. He fired coach Bob Hill on December 10, 1996, and has been in charge of himself until now. As the coach who has been coaching the same team for the longest time in the four major professional sports leagues in North America, he played an important role in the “Godfather” level during the long time of this team.
Bobo graduated from the US Air Force Academy, and his military style has also become one of the Spurs cultures. Bobo has been built into a united, efficient and disciplined team Spurs. The camp of Iron fighting and the soldiers of running water, the peak Spurs is not only a team, but also an “army” and even a stable running machine.
Bobo is very particular about talent selection and employment. He likes honest people who are virtuous and obedient to management, and does not like talented Thorn players.
Rodman played for Spurs in the 1993-95 season. Although he could win 17.3 rebounds in a game, the high-profile off-site life and eccentric modeling were completely inconsistent with the team culture of Spurs, bobo would rather use him to change the game with 8.0 points and 6.7 points, and also eliminate any uncertain factors that affect the stability and unity of the team.
Popovich baby attaches great importance to overseas players and low-ranking Taobao. Although he has never coached top stars such as Jordan, O’Neal and Kobe, he has cultivated Duncan, Manu and Parker, and discovered Dior, danny Green, Boban mayanovic, Kael Anderson, split, Bonner and other players of all kinds. These people who could not play the ball could still settle down in the league after leaving Spurs, shining and heating, his selection and employment look at the whole world, and represent the tolerance and diversity of Spurs culture.
Budenholzer, Borrego, Boylen, Snyder, Cole, warn and so on all served spurs. Bobo sent a large number of excellent coaches to the alliance, and former officials of the students were all over the alliance, spurs series has also become a unique and proprietary vocabulary. Spurs is like the West Point military academy in NBA. This team’s influence on NBA has surpassed the club level.
“14 Spurs” represents the peak of Spurs basketball culture, which is also the strongest form of Spurs in the 50 years of team building in San Antonio.
How special is 14 Spurs?
In the 2013-14 season, Spurs regular saihao won 62 wins and 20 losses. Throughout the season, the six players scored double in each game, and the nine players scored more than 8 points in each game; The Spurs games scored the sixth in the league, the sixth in the league, and the first in the league, all-in-one attack and defense, sharing the first in the league; Duncan is 38 years old, Ginobili is 36 years old, Parker is 32 years old, Leonard is 22 years old, and only Parker is selected into the All-Star and the best second match in the whole team; The regular season, no players have played for more than 30 minutes on average!
No player scored more than 18 points on average in 14 Spurs, regardless of regular season or playoffs. Regular season team scoring king Parker, an average of 16.7 points; Playoff team scoring king or Parker, an average of 17.4 points. The team scored double in the playoff game, and the average score of the 8 teams was above 7 points-all the people were soldiers, and the average playoff time of the players was only 2-3 minutes more than the regular season.
The most typical one is the Spurs VS Thunder West decisive series in 2014, with a 26.8-point average in weishao and 25.8-point average in Durant. The two scored in the top two of the series, the highest Duncan in the Spurs averaged 17.8 points, but the 3-8th in the series were all Spurs players.
In the five games of the finals, there were three games that made Spurs play the garbage time when the two teams sent 13 people to rotate. No matter how many games were glued, Spurs always kept the rotation of 9-10 people. The heat only defeated Spurs with 98-96 in the second game, and the other four games all showed a one-sided situation: G1, Spurs net win 15 points; G3, Spurs net win 19 points; G4, spurs net win 21 points; G5, Spurs net win 17 points.
The Heat’s lineup also has depth, including LeBlanc, Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen, Beasley, Lewis, Chalmers, Norris-Cole, Battier, Chris Anderson, and the average age of the three giants is younger than Spurs GDP, and this round of series should be five or five. However, it presented a one-sided “swing” and even broke up the hot three giants. It had to be admitted that 14 Spurs had played a team basketball that overturned the normal strength of basketball and reached its peak.
14 Spurs, it truly represents the perfect unity of knowledge and practice of basketball concept and team practice, and is also the strongest embodiment of the accumulation of Spurs culture for many years.
From 1973 to 2023, after five decades of testing, Spurs perfectly explained what team and basketball culture are.
