People who are rebellious also talk about the best team history? They are still thinking about retiring jerseys. Is Spurs culture just a talk?

In the past few days, the Spurs' special zone seemed to have suffered from heavy rain, with some uninvited mud mixed in its sparse footprints. They came to vote for the man named Leonard, and after they voted, they stood on the threshold and looked around, as if they wanted to carve their names on the beams of this old house.

I have seen the Spurs wall. The bricks and stones are Duncan's silence, Parker's agility, Ginobili's weirdness, and the mortar of the wall is mixed with the smell of Popovich's red wine. The storm has not been able to penetrate the wind and rain for twenty years, not because of how hard the bricks are, but because every brick has condemned the foundation under its feet - they call it loyal and give.

The word "loyalty" has always been extremely important in the history of the Spurs. It is also the core elements of the Spurs' "stonemaster spirit" with words such as "focus, cooperation, rationality, and responsibility". Since David Robinson arrived and Popovich took over, the team was able to be glorious for so many years, which is inseparable from this spirit.

But those who come to vote probably don't understand. They held Leonard's scoring board, like holding a gold brick, and were about to embed it on the wall. But I can't see the moss under the wall, which was soaked out from many seasons of sweat. When Leonard left, the wall was cracked, not because there were few bricks, but because the brick jumped out by itself and brought a piece of dust.

Someone asked if you want to leave a space for this brick? I even wanted to paint it with gold paint and hang it on the door lintel. This is really amazing. In the Spurs' locker room, the jerseys hung with old smells, like the cigarette pot of an old comrade, you can feel the temperature when you touch it. That is not piled up with data, but is made with countless nights of extra practice, silence after losing, and hugs when winning.

Duncan retired, the public said that he "dedicated everything to the Spurs, the reputation of being one person and one city." This evaluation is by no means false.

As a superstar, he does not require the treatment of a superstar. He only does what a superstar will do on the court - carry the team on his shoulders, silently protects all his teammates, and injects a shot of a smart shot to everyone...

Throughout Duncan's career, in order for the team to maintain or continue his strength, he took the initiative to cut salary several times, not only reduced the salary to the big brother, but also reduced the salary for Manu, Tony and others. Later, Manu and Tony were also influenced by him and always put the survival of the team first.

GDP, plus the big brother David, these are the creators of Spurs culture and loyal guardians. There is no need for the data to be excellent. When we talk about the best team history, we will not lose them.

Now these so-called voters not only want their idol to be selected as the best in the team history, but even fantasize that the Spurs can give him a retired jersey. I just want to say that this is probably to treat the Spurs as an ordinary exhibition hall.

They don't understand that the jerseys hung by the Spurs at home have never been among them with just their skills. Not to mention the others, Ginobili won four championships in 16 years, Parker won four championships in 17 years, and Duncan won five championships in 19 years - only by sticking to "one by the end" can you gain a place above the AT&T center.

Look up and looked at the retired jerseys hanging at home like flags. Which one did not witness a beautiful story of "from black hair to white hair"?

We do not deny that Leonard's skills are good, like a sharp knife. But the essence of Spurs culture is not about how fast the knife is, but whether the knife only recognizes a scabbard or a master - a good knife, and recognizes the person who can maximize its combat effectiveness.

However, the knife eventually left and took the blade that the Spurs had cut for it and went to someone else's hands. There is nothing wrong with this, but no matter how bright the blade is, it should not be hung back into the original scabbard.

Now they have to stuff the knife back and engrave the word "best". This is not a smugness, it is a tragedy. The people who guarded the wall for those years, the nights when they broke their sweat on the floor, and the thought of "No, just for this sensation" in the Spurs' hearts.

chose to escape from the Spurs in a breaking way, and in this life he was destined to have nothing to do with this team. The Spurs are not other teams. The Spurs have their own persistence and their own culture to protect and carry forward.

Wenban Yama once said: "I hope people can remember that I am a person who does not take shortcuts and takes the right steps." I want to say that this speech is full of the essence of the "stonemaster spirit". The inheritance of the Spurs lies here - from Robinson to Duncan, from GDP to literary class, every generation is willing to be a "little stonemason". They do not seek quick success, but they are concerned about hard work.

Voting can be a quarrel for a while, but the wall is still there. Bricks are built one by one, and people are kept one by one. Those foreign footprints fade after the rain. This hustle and bustle is like a farce of "cultural throne". Those Leonard's believers held the torches of data and highlights, wanting to illuminate Leonard's throne, but they didn't know that in the Spurs' temple, only those stonemasons who were willing to "break their wings".

This culture that has been tempered for decades cannot be destroyed by a temporary "fan carnival" - if such rootless people are presented to the altar, the Spurs culture is in danger - those who can be betrayed today can be regarded as speculators tomorrow. In the long run, the "stonemaster spirit" will no longer exist, and more than twenty years of foundation will eventually be destroyed.
