NBA bench saves national team

After the pre-match interview.

The entire Thunder team came to the court and started the pre-match warm-up session.

So did the Spurs.

Compared with the activeness of the Thunder, the Spurs are more like old people coming to participate in a marathon, doing various slow and gentle warm-ups on the court.

Such a stark contrast also makes fans watching this game interesting.

Warm up will be over soon.

With a whistle on the scene, the starting players of both sides appeared on the field.

The Thunder's starting lineup is Chandler, Ibaka, Redick, Qin Feng, and Westbrook.

The Spurs' starting lineup is Duncan, Diaw, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green and Tony Parker.

The referee threw the basketball high.

Chandler and Mr. Duncan took off at the same time, and the latter was more skilled and took the basketball out.

The Spurs took the lead in attacking.

After Tony Parker dribbled the ball for halftime, he took the lead in attacking, then broke through the pick-and-roll with Dior directly to the penalty area, and then faced Ibaka's defense without fear, using his own stunt spinning top, after throwing Ibaka away Easy pick and hit.

The whole offensive movement is smooth and smooth, and it is done in one go.

As the former MVP of the finals, Parker was known as the "Small Sports Car of the Fa Country", and his breakthrough speed was extremely fast, especially the spinning top, which was very difficult to defend.

"Oh? The Spurs' Parker played singles at the beginning, and Popovich didn't show any dissatisfaction on the sidelines. It seems that the game plan was made in advance."

The on-site commentator Barkley said curiously.

"The team-oriented Spurs would play an individual offense at the beginning of the game. I really didn't expect it!"

"It seems that Mr. Popovich is going to make another surprise move in this game. In the case of a weak lineup, let's see what magical arrangements Popovich can come up with in terms of tactics."

Another commentator, Reggie Miller, said with a smile, full of anticipation.

on the field.

The Thunder attack.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball for halftime, he wanted to save face and directly used his speed to force Parker.

If Parker's breakthrough is a combination of speed and skill, then Westbrook's breakthrough is a combination of speed and physical talent.

Without too many skills, he used his super physical fitness to break through Parker one step at a time. After arriving in the penalty area, facing Duncan's supplementary defense, Westbrook still made a very wise choice. Lean hands.

Chandler would have been a good offensive opportunity.

But when he just received the basketball and was about to put the basket, he suddenly found that Dior had already occupied in front of him, replacing Duncan's defense.

Although Dior's speed is not fast, his defensive awareness and the defensive running positions that the Spurs usually train allow him to judge Westbrook's pass in advance, so he came to defend early.

This is the team defense of the Spurs.

Whether it is rotation or switching defenses, it is unique in the entire NBA.

The arrow had to be fired on the string.

Chandler still threw the basketball against the defense.

bang.

The basket pops out.

Diaw grabs the rebound and quickly passes it to Leonard running upcourt.

After receiving the basketball, Leonard completed a gliding dunk against Redick.

Obviously, with Redick's strength, it is difficult to defend the physically gifted Leonard.

After all, Leonard is taller, and his arms are so long that they are abnormal.

4: 0.

The Spurs started the game against the guest and played a good performance.

The game lasted for more than a minute, and the spectators were still standing and watching the game, because they had an unspoken rule, that is, if the Thunder played at home, they had to score a goal before sitting down.

And now the Thunder have yet to score.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball for half the court, he passed the basketball to Qin Feng, and he retreated to the edge of the bottom corner, not participating in this attack.

Qin Feng held the ball at the top of the arc, changed direction twice in a row, stopped at the position near the free throw line, and used the [Durant Death Jumper] skill to gently pull out the basketball.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

"Good shot! Qin Feng's move is really powerful! It's as unsolvable as Durant's mid-range jumper."

Barkley said excitedly.

"After all, we still have to rely on Qin Feng to break the scoring shortage! The audience must have breathed a sigh of relief, and they can finally sit down!"

Reggie Miller said with a smile.

indeed.

After Qin Feng hit the middle distance, the audience burst into thunderous cheers, and then sat down one after another as if the tide had receded.

The Spurs offensive round.

After Parker dribbled the ball for half court, he played a pick-and-roll with Diaw again, and then broke through the penalty area and passed the basketball to Diaw at the top of the arc.

Diaw looked at all directions and listened to all directions, and with a flick of his wrist, he passed the basketball to Danny Green who ran out of the open space, and the latter shot a three-pointer directly.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

There were bursts of exclamations at the scene, not because of Green's beautiful three-pointer, but because of Dior's second pass, which was really pleasing to the eye.

"Beautiful assist! Since Diaw came to the Spurs, he has really rejuvenated his second career!"

Barkley couldn't help but exclaim.

"Indeed, team basketball like the Spurs is the most suitable team for Diaw. His talents are fully displayed here. As a power forward, he is really versatile. He can not only dribble, but also has three-point shooting. Ability, as well as organizational ability, can be said to be very versatile."

Reggie Miller said that he couldn't help but admire Popovich's ability, and he can always develop the players' abilities to the extreme.

"In this way, the Spurs have changed a lot, both on the defensive end and on the offensive end. Let's see if the Thunder can cope with it."

Barkley said, turning his attention to the court.

The Thunder's offensive round.

Qin Feng holds the ball at the top of the arc again.

Danny Green comes up on defense.

As a second-round pick, "Huang Ama" Green gained a foothold in the NBA by relying on desperate defense, and then gradually developed his three-point shooting ability, becoming a top 3D who can both defend and shoot three-pointers players.

But now Green is still a little tender.

Qin Feng directly used the skill of [Iverson's change of direction and breakthrough], shook Green's defensive center of gravity in two steps, then stepped back to the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer with a sudden stop.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

Seeing this, Popovich frowned, winked at Danny Green, and gestured again.

Green nodded, understanding what the coach meant.

The Spurs attack.

After Parker dribbled the ball for half court, he changed his offensive tactics again and passed the basketball to Duncan. The latter singled Chandler and easily turned around and hit the board with a jumper.

The Thunder fought back.

After Qin Feng dribbled the ball for half the time, the defender in front of him suddenly changed.

From Danny Green to Kawhi Leonard! !
