NBA bench saves national team

three days later.

The holidays for the All-Star Weekend are over.

The second half of the nba regular season begins.

Now that the trade deadline has passed, the major teams have completed the repair work before the deadline. Once the All-Stars are over, they will start preparing for the playoffs.

Now on the championship team leaderboard.

The Lakers topped the list, followed by LeBron James' Cavaliers in second place.

The Celtics and Magic rank third and fourth.

The Thunder rose to the fifth position.

Although it seems outrageous, after all, the Thunder just started to rebuild last season, and it took only one season to return to the championship.

But that's how it happened.

This team with an average age of only 22 years old has become an opponent that cannot be underestimated on the way to the championship.

At the beginning of the season, the Thunder ranked third from the bottom on this list.

Everyone thinks that the Thunder will continue to play poorly, and then continue to accumulate talented rookies through the draft, so as to gradually complete the reconstruction.

But no one thought that the Thunder's rise was faster than expected.

No one knows if the Thunder will continue to climb to a higher position on the list by the end of the season.

It also depends on the performance of the Thunder in the second half of the regular season.

Today, in the first regular season game after the All-Star Game, the Thunder ushered in a strong opponent - the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs led by gdp seem to have the qualifications to compete for the championship every season.

Since Duncan joined the Spurs, they have never missed the playoffs.

In the past ten years, the Spurs have won 4 championships.

It can be said to be the most durable evergreen tree in the league.

For the first time this season, the young Thunder team met the old-fashioned Spurs team. What kind of game effect will they play?

Will Grandpa Duncan teach young Qin Feng a lesson?

These points of view deeply attract fans.

At the same time, whether Qin Feng, who is in a hot state recently, can maintain his previous state after dating Scarlett, is also what fans look forward to.

Scarlett, who was filming in Los Angeles, frowned after seeing the news, feeling offended...

......

The Thunder play at the Ford Center.

Two hours before the game, the arena was already crowded with people.

Since Qin Feng joined the Thunder, the Ford Center Arena has never worried about attendance.

Although the Thunder is a small-market team, the enthusiasm of the local fans is one of the best in the entire league.

Players from the Thunder and Spurs have also arrived and are conducting pre-game interviews.

Lakers interview room.

"Qin, this is the first time you have met the Spurs this season. Which opponent of the Spurs do you think will make you feel difficult?"

a reporter asked.

"No! The Spurs have no players who can make me feel difficult. Maybe the only one who can bring me some threats is the Spurs coach Popovich."

Qin Feng said with a smile, and q'd Mr. Popovich.

After all, this old man has a very strange style of acting, who knows what tactics he will arrange to deal with him.

The reporters also smiled when they heard this.

"I heard that you fell asleep all day after dating Scarlett, and went on a date with Scarlett after the All-Star Game. I wonder if your physical strength has recovered?"

a reporter asked.

"Of course!"

Qin Feng said, sweating madly in his heart.

Fortunately, 10 points of non-attribute talent were added to physical fitness, otherwise it would be a bit empty.

If you want to blame it, you can blame Scarlett, the little fairy, for being too attractive, and she can't control herself at all!

"Qin, do you think Duncan will say that famous line to you after the game, 'Man, the future is yours'?"

A reporter asked with a smile.

"No! I will never give Duncan this chance. He can tell James, but I can't!"

Qin Feng said that he couldn't help feeling funny when he thought of the stalk between Duncan and James.

In 07, Duncan told James that the future is yours.

But after 14 years, Duncan's Spurs defeated James again, but this time James went from the Cavaliers to the Heat.

The reporters also laughed out loud.

The pre-match interview ended in such a pleasant atmosphere.

The Spurs interview room.

"Popovich, will you arrange special defensive tactics against Qin Feng?"

a reporter asked.

"No, it's completely unnecessary. No matter how I adjust my defensive strategy, it's basically impossible to restrain Qin Feng."

"This Chinese rookie scored 63 points in the All-Star Game, which is really crazy."

Popovich said modestly, and complimented Qin Feng.

The reporters fought back a smile.

They don't believe the words of this bad old man.

This is simply 300 taels of silver here.

"Duncan, you just became teammates with Qin Feng in the All-Star Game and won the All-Star Game together, and now you are rivals again, how do you feel now?"

a reporter asked.

"Oh! This is really not good news. I witnessed Qin Feng's great performance in the All-Star Game."

"Honestly, it's going to be a real headache to play against him."

"We're going to be in a tough fight."

Duncan said blankly, with seriousness and seriousness in his tone.

The reporters were a little surprised. Duncan rarely praised his opponents like this.

A few more questions were asked, and the reporters ended their pre-match interviews.

Players from both sides returned to the locker room, changed their clothes and walked through the long tunnel to the court.

The spotlight came on.

The fans cheered enthusiastically.

The cheerleaders on the sidelines waved their arms uncontrollably, showing off their graceful figures.

Qin Feng's performance in the All-Star Game made Goose City fans very proud.

There is no doubt that Qinfeng is the symbol of this city.

Like Michael Jordan was to Chicago, Kobe Bryant was to Los Angeles.

Now Qin Feng is rich in Oklahoma City, which means a lot!

After the appearance ceremony.

Players from both sides began to warm up.

Warm up soon.

With the whistle of the referee, the starting players of both sides appeared on the stage!

The Thunder's starting lineup is Chandler, Jeff Green, Durant, Qin Feng, and Westbrook.

The Spurs' starters are: Duncan, Bonner, Finley, Mason, Parker.

Both sides jump the ball.

Chandler pulls the basketball out.

Westbrook grabs the basketball and is about to dribble half court.

The referee's whistle sounded.

The players of the Thunder team were all a little confused. Could it be that the jump ball was violated just now?

Everyone looked at the referee who whistled.

But the referee pointed at Qin Feng and signaled the Spurs player Mason to foul Qin Feng without the ball.

???

Everyone was stunned.

Use foul tactics at the beginning?

Which one is this singing?
