Gregg Popovich在他長達34年的NBA教練生涯執教過無數球員,Tim Duncan、David Robinson、Manu Ginobili、Tony Parker和Kawhi Leonard個個都是歷史傳奇人物。
在Popovich於2015年接手擔任美國男籃國家隊總教練後,被他調教過的球員又更廣泛了,儘管名單很長一串,但這位知名教頭在描述他與Kevin Durant的經歷時使用了一個頂規形容詞:著迷。
引用Popovich:“我認為很多人不明白。他們只是認為他很有天賦,他真的很擅長投籃等等。當訓練結束時,不僅是其他球員還有教練團,我們都會著迷的看著他完成個人訓練。
我不認為其他球隊的球員做過這些事情,以這種方式熱愛訓練,真正致力在所有的基礎上。這很特別,毫無疑問,他是這群人的領袖。”
34歲的Durant在布魯克林度過了他職業生涯最好的賽季之一。這位前MVP場均攻下29.9分、6.7個籃板和5.5 次助攻。他一肩扛下球隊並上演戲劇性的跌深反彈,籃網早前取得聯盟本季最長的12連勝,贏得過去23場比賽中的19場。
在連勝期間,Durant的投籃命中率高達59.2%,三分球命中率40.7%。本賽季56.4%的投籃命中率在場均出手17次或以上的33名球員中排名第一。可怕的是,Durant只有12.4%的出手來自禁區,但歷史上最高效的進攻數據之一還是出現了。
Popovich:“他做得很好,他熱愛這項運動,就像任何人熱愛這項運動一樣。他只是想打球。”
籃網早前的12連勝是本賽季所有球隊中最長的,也是隊史自1983年以來最佳表現,也許Durant在布魯克林的輝煌從現在才算真正開始。

引用“I don’t think a lot of people understand. They just think he’s talented and he’s really good at getting his shot off, and so on and so forth,” Popovich said of Durant Monday on their Team USA experience together. “When practices were over, not just the other players but the coaching staff, we’d all be mesmerized watching him go through his individual workout.
I don’t think other players from other teams did those sorts of things. Love the game in that way to really work on all the basics all the fundamentals. It was special. He was the leader of the group, for sure.”
