I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 50: The Spurs' Backline

The Mavericks scored another goal in the next round to stabilize the point difference at 4 points.

Tony Parker tried to speed up the game a few times, but Jason Kidd was old. No matter how anxious the Spurs were, he organized every attack slowly. The Mavericks' attack time was at least 15 seconds.

Kenny Smith looked serious: "Tony is the MVP of the 07 Finals and the first international player to win fmvp in NBA history, but in front of Jason Kidd, his ability to drive the rhythm is still a little bit worse!"

Charles Barkley glanced at him, and gave a cheap smile: "Hey, Kenny, Tony is a point guard who prefers personal offense. He is more in line with the current league, and he must control the rhythm of the game. There are few in the history of the NBA that can match Jason Kidd. He is an absolute master of tactics."

Charles Barkley said at the end, his eyes unconsciously fell on Popovich who was given by the camera: "So this is why Greg hasn't yelled at Tony Parker until now! This is beyond his ability!"

"But... it's time to change!"

Eight minutes of the first quarter have passed without knowing it. According to Popovich's previous rotation habits, he will take Duncan and Parker in turn at this time, and replace them with Manu Ginobili to bridge the period.

Rick Carlisle has always regarded Popovich as his idol, and his substitution ideas are not much different from Popovich. In the past three games of the new season, he also replaced Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd at about this time.

Elderly people still need to be treated preferentially.

Therefore, shortly after Barkley said that Popovich would be replaced, almost at the same time, the benches on both sides stood up to replace players.

Popovich changed a little more. In addition to Tony Parker and Duncan, he also took Bogans at the second position.

Keith Bogans is a blue-collar player who is good at defense. When he was young, he was considered a high-quality puzzle piece for the championship team. It's just that his offensive ability has deteriorated over the years and he can only contribute more on the defensive end.

Popovich has always placed him in the starting position at the second position, and it is precisely because of his defensive ability that he can help Tony Parker make up for it on the defensive end.

Basically, he was on and off the court with Tony Parker.

Popovich returned to play George Hill and Manu Ginobili.

"The Spurs' position one and two this year are really strong!"

Kenny Smith looked at the two new Spurs guards, and was a little surprised at the depth of the Spurs' guard line bench this season. The two new guys: Manu Ginobili, needless to say, one of the best sixth men in the league, and the small point guard who played with Manu Ginobili, he was also very impressed. George Hill, the final second place in the "Most Improved Player Award" last season, almost squeezed out Aaron Brooks.

"If there is no accident, the Spurs should reverse the situation!"

After the substitute rotation, the strength of the Spurs' guard line on the offensive end did not decrease but increased, while the Mavericks' Jason Kidd was replaced by Barea, and his strength obviously declined. Barkley also agreed with Kenny Smith's words.

Spurs fans: Barkley, don't milk us!

"Shh!"

Manu Ginobili made a contribution as soon as he came on the court. "Snake Step" swayed away from Caron Butler and then faced Tyson Chandler's supplementary defense and changed hands for a layup.

"I'm coming soon!"

Lin Yang on the bench watched Manu Ginobili pass Caron Butler with the first ball so easily, and whispered something in his mouth.

He could see that Rick Carlisle was not serious today, and Caron Butler's defensive performance was so careless. The latter would certainly not turn a blind eye as usual. Among the rest of the Mavericks' second position, Jason Terry's defensive ability is not much better. DeShawn is good, but his cooperation with Barea is much worse. The most suitable candidate is definitely Lin Yang.

"Dangdang!"

Caron Butler wanted to regain face on the offensive end, but unfortunately missed a jumper. Fortunately, Tyson Chandler grabbed the second rebound. Unfortunately, the new Spurs' Splitter stuck him, making him not high enough to take off. The ball hit the iron again, and McDyess took advantage of the situation to protect the rebound.

Tyson Chandler glanced at Priest, the core strength of the European big man who had just stuck him was a bit beyond his expectation.

"Shh!"

Manu Ginobili leaned over to face Caron Butler and hit another mid-range shot.

"Caron, are you sleepwalking again?"

Rick Carlisle watched Caron Butler get easily scored twice by Manu Ginobili, and finally couldn't help it, and cursed at Caron Butler.

Doesn't this bastard know how much I value this game?

Carlisle didn't care about Caron Butler after scolding, but looked towards the bench, "Notify Lin, get on the field!"

"Manu Ginobili played hard and scored both shots. The Spurs are still one point away. There are 2 minutes left in the first quarter. Let's see if the Spurs can recover the score before the end of the first quarter!"

"Huh? Rick chose to make a substitution, and he took... oh? It's the NCAA miracle kid Lin, and he replaced Caron Butler!"

On the field, Ginobili destroyed Barea's breakthrough goal and the ball went out of bounds. Lin Yang took advantage of this time to play.

"Ding, the task of this game is released!"

"All the first three shots were hit!"

"The task is completed and the mode of feeling positive heat is turned on."

hiss~
The first three shots were all hit, which is a bit difficult!
This should be the most difficult task recently, and it was released during the game against the Spurs.

Lin Yang originally thought that tonight's game would be difficult, but now that he heard the mission issued by the system, he felt that it would be very difficult to play tonight.

Tyson Chandler took the side kick, and Lin Yang ran back to open up an opening for Barea. The latter received the ball smoothly, but Barea didn't play directly, but waited for Lin Yang to return to the three-point line.

Kenny Smith was a little surprised, but his tone remained unchanged: "It can be seen that the second team of the Mavericks believes in Miracle Boy. Jose has been dribbling the ball for so long just to wait for Lin to get in position. I don't know how they will play this attack? Is Lin worth Jose's long wait?"

When Lin Yang took his position, Manu Ginobili followed in front of him, but Lin Yang ignored Manu Ginobili in front of him and directly signaled Barea to pass the ball. The moment he got the ball, Lin Yang pulled up and shot.

"Voted?!"

Kenny Smith's voice was full of surprise and doubt. From the information he had learned, this guy named Lin Yang was not a guy who would shoot this kind of "personal ability ball".

Moreover, this is too far from the three-point line!

"Heh~" Buckley chuckled with disdain, representing all he wanted to say.

"Hmm~"

There was also a burst of exclamation at the scene of the Airline Center Arena. These fans also couldn't understand why Lin Yang's first shot in this game was so unreasonable.

Damn, don't you know how important this game is to us?
Some Mavericks fans were even ready to boo them later!
"Bah!"

However, there was a loud slam dunk.

A tall figure was letting go of the hand holding the basket and slowly falling down.

"Wow, perfect alley-oop!"

"Hacker's two-handed dunk!"

"A pass from Lin Yang!"

The always calm Kenny Smith saw the goal and slapped the table hard.

Barkley, who was still disdainful just now, stared wide-eyed. He didn't expect that Lin Yang's strong shot would turn into such a perfect assist in the end.

The audience at the scene was also stunned for a moment. They really didn't expect this plot to go. They were all ready to scold Lin Yang, but now...

"Wow ah ah ah ah!"

Fortunately, the reaction was fast enough. Before Sean Marion landed, the Mavericks fans at the scene burst into cheers.
