NBA bench saves national team

beep.

A whistle sounded.

The starters of both sides came on stage.

The starting lineup of the Thunder is Chandler, Ibaka, Batum, Qin Feng and Westbrook.

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

Although Green performed extremely poorly in the last game, Popovich still put him in the starting lineup.

For a three-point shooter, it is impossible to shoot poorly every game.

Of course, some players are not in good condition for a period of time.

Of course, for Popovich, there is no giving face to any player, it is completely in accordance with his strategy and ideas.

If Green continues to stretch his hips, Popovich will replace him without hesitation, and even make him a cold bench for the entire game.

For the Thunder, Brooks made adjustments to the starting lineup again, replacing Redick and replacing Batum in the starting position.

After all, Batum is known as the "Fa Country Magician" and is a very versatile player. He not only has the ability to shoot three-pointers, but also has the ability to organize offenses, and his defensive ability is also better than Redick.

In order to reduce the burden on Qin Feng, Brooks tried to let Batum and Qin Feng play a more important role as a partner.

The referee stood on the center line and threw the basketball high.

Duncan and Chandler take off at the same time, and the latter jumps out of the basketball.

The Thunder took the lead in attacking.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball for halftime, he passed the basketball to Qin Feng.

Danny Green comes up on defense.

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that Popovich's arrangement did not let Leonard defend, but let Green defend.

Although Green's defensive ability is also very strong, he is the top 3D in the league, but compared with Leonard, his defensive ability is definitely not at the same level.

I don't know what old man Popovich is planning, but it doesn't matter.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Since it is Green's defense, let's give the Spurs a blow first.

Qin Feng dribbled the ball and changed direction. After breaking through from the right, he pulled back and stepped outside the three-point line. He stopped suddenly and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Green shook his head helplessly, his confidence was hit.

I defended desperately, but it didn't work, which was a bit shocking.

The Spurs attack.

After Parker dribbled through half court, he passed the basketball to Duncan.

The old man turned around and hooked his hands.

Swish.

Hit the board.

Freehand.

In the next few minutes, the Thunder team attacked from the outside, and most of the offensive balls were in Qin Feng's hands.

Brooks emphasized before the game that everyone should pass the ball to Qin Feng as much as possible, trying to use Qin Feng's super personal ability to quickly open the score, avoiding the stalemate like the previous game before deciding the winner.

Brooks' arrangement did work.

Under Qin Feng's consecutive scoring, the Thunder took a 6-point lead in less than half a quarter.

After all, the Spurs have also changed their tactics here, no longer attacking from the outside, but focusing on the inside.

Duncan and Diaw, the two seniors, used their own advantages to attack in the penalty area and helped the team score consecutively.

After playing for more than half a quarter, the Spurs didn't even make a shot outside the three-second zone.

This has to be surprising...

This situation did not last too long.

The coaches of both sides quickly began to make adjustments to the team's lineup.

The Spurs replaced Duncan and Parker, two veteran players, and replaced them with Bonner and Ginobili.

The Thunder replaced Chandler and Batum with Perkins and Redick.

The two sides fought fiercely again.

Without Duncan, the strength of the Spurs' penalty area was greatly reduced, and the Thunder also seized the opportunity. Under Qin Feng's offensive deployment, Redick, Ibaka and others all made efficient shots.

Especially Redick, who made two consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line, instantly helped the team open the score.

But the Spurs quickly responded.

What is staggering is that the main offensive player of the Spurs is not Manu Ginobili, but Leonard.

I saw Leonard continuously launching offensive singles near the free throw line, and his mid-range jumper after changing directions and fake moves was very stable.

Biao scored three mid-range goals in a row, helping the team score critically.

Leonard's offensive performance also made the commentators on the scene exclaimed again and again, is he a rookie playing?No matter how you look at it, he looks like an All-Star player who can have an impact on both offense and defense!

With Leonard's outstanding performance, the Thunder have never been able to widen the point difference.

Until 1 minute left in the first quarter, Qin Feng suddenly broke out.

First made a three-pointer, then steal Leonard, launched a fast break and hit another three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, he blocked Green's three-pointer, played another defensive counterattack, broke through the penalty area and completed a dunk.

Scored 8 points in a row and played a wave of 8:0 offense.

This established a certain leading edge.

The first quarter is over.

22: 34.

The Thunder took a 12-point lead.

The Spurs made only two [-]-pointers throughout the first quarter and missed.

As a result, even though the Spurs' offensive efficiency was relatively good, they only scored 22 points.

Enter the second quarter of the game.

Danny Green of the Spurs seemed to have suddenly opened up, scoring two consecutive three-pointers to help the team narrow the point difference to 6 points.

On the Thunder side, Lowry broke through to the penalty area and caused damage, scoring a 2+1.

The two sides fell into a stalemate.

Brooks looked serious.

This round of the series is really much more difficult than imagined!

After playing for about 3 minutes, Brooks changed Qin Feng to the court.

You can only rely on Qin Feng.

Qin Feng also lived up to expectations. After his debut, he scored consecutive offensive points and opened the gap again with his own strength.

Popovich also hurriedly switched back to the main lineup.

But no one can restrain Qin Feng.

Even if Leonard re-mained to defend Qin Feng, it would not help. Qin Feng was like a deadpan scoring machine, sanctioning the Spurs with various scoring methods.

Halftime is over.

48: 65.

The Thunder took a 17-point lead.

秦风第二节在8分钟的时间里，12投8中，三分球6投4中，罚球3罚2中，疯狂揽下22分4篮板2助攻2抢断1封盖的数据。

Played a dominant performance again.

The on-site commentary couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Leonard's defense is very good, but in front of Qin Feng, it is still not enough!"

"When Qin Feng broke out, it was like meeting a Buddha and killing a Buddha, meeting a god and killing a god!"
