Chapter 502: Temptation! (3/3)
Defeated the Eagles.
What is this 76 team going to do?
DeRozan, who just traded from the Raptors, has been emotionally unstable recently.
He mainly couldn't figure out why the team traded him away without notifying him.
But when it came to San Antonio, Popovich talked a lot to him.
The two are also building a good coach-player relationship.
Flowing players, iron-clad Popovich.
No matter what kind of player he is, Popovich is confident that he will make a difference in the team right away.
Although he is very old, he still feels like he has no opponents in the NBA.
Just let your players play to their own abilities reasonably.
Make the tactics in the game as close to the actual situation as possible, and then a game can be easily won.
But today's ......
In the process of talking with reporters, the reporters mainly grasped the transaction some time ago.
Popovich was also vague about the 76ers in the later stages.
Compared to the Atlanta Hawks, they are still very good.
In terms of roster, they are much better than the Eagles.
But in terms of coordination, in the preseason, DeRozan and Jacob have not been able to fully integrate into the team.
It takes a process.
And what is their situation like for the Philadelphia 76ers right now?
People have Simmons and Kuzma on the front line!
Roport and Booker, who are good defensively, are also difficult to play. On the guard, there is also Li Feng, a player who has won three championship rings!
This makes this game a lot more variable.
Popovich's pessimistic thinking is that this game is a run-in for both teams.
But they couldn't get a win on this side of Philadelphia.
Li Chaoyue asked Lin Xiao to take her to the game yesterday, but Lin Xiao refused.
The cold is about to get better, what should you do if you catch a cold again?
In the end, Lin Xiao bought a bunch of snacks, and both of them finished their work and watched the live broadcast in Li Feng's villa at night~
Today's Spurs starters are, in order, Aldridge, Gasol, DeRozan, Forbes and Derek.
Derrick was drafted by the Spurs this year, and the 29th pick in the first round has a decent ability.
Can attack, and the defensive ability is also good. Relatively comprehensive ability, but not outstanding.
At the end of the 76ers are Embiid, Roport, Simmons, Li Feng and Bayless.
While there is a lot of confidence on their side and Brown's coaching staff, the opponent is the Spurs.
You still have to be more careful in all aspects.
The Eagles faced in the last game, the players were not in good shape, and the cooperation was very good.
Facing the Spurs who are now replacing the small card today, as long as the Demon Knife and Parker are not on the court, the rhythm of the game is still not so strong.
They're the opposite of the Eagles, and they're not particularly well coordinated. But the players are better than the 76ers.
Most of the players here at the Spurs are veterans or experienced players who have won championships.
Although they have now lost two games in a row, the performance of the players on the field is relatively stable.
The game started Aldridge to get the basketball first and then threw the ball to DeRozan!
After two wins, tickets are selling out fast on the Philadelphia side!
Li Feng came to drive a wave of fans to buy tickets, and now another group of fans have come up.
Today's competition is close to full! The atmosphere is a bit similar to the playoffs.
In the face of Simmons' defense, DeRozan easily passed the champion and then used his offense to attract Roporter and Embiid!
Then Gasol got up immediately after receiving the ball in the air and hit the board with 2 points!
At the beginning, both teams didn't let the main force come up, and they were more trying to test the opponent.
The Spurs guard two young players, and Kuzma, who had a good performance in the first two games of the 76ers, did not come up.
Simmons played in his place, and now the team's coaching staff thinks if Simmons can get back up.
The 76ers have two very good forward players, and that's great!
Brown didn't want that. But Simmons' performance has been inconsistent, which has also given him a headache.
But lately, Simmons has been working mid-range shooting and three-point shooting.
Brown also wanted to let Simmons go up and play for a while.
Bayless was holding the ball to the frontcourt at this time, and he found that compared to the Spurs, the Spurs' players were almost better than the Hawks in all kinds of performances.
They are more patient and play more reasonably in team basketball.
Bayless had to pass the ball past several times, but finally chose to shoot himself.
One step from the three-point line, Bayles pulled out an open three-point shot!
What Coach Brown meant in this game was to let Li Feng do the point guard.
It was the same at the beginning of the last game, but in the end, Li Feng became a very good two-way guard!
The team should also develop several playmaking defenders as soon as possible, which will be very beneficial for the team in the later stage.
Simmons can play guard and small forward, so he actually has a lot to do!
Coach Brown, on his part, is not too demanding of him.
This time, DeRozan held the ball, and finally passed Li Feng and Simmons and scored with a one-handed dunk after Embiid made a mistake!!
Embiid looked at the strong small forward in surprise!
DeRozan's ability to control his power and rhythm is too good!
He thought he would be able to block DeRozan, but he dunked the ball right under his nose!!
Robert served to Li Feng, and at this time, he also followed a few teammates and stopped making trouble for Li Feng.
Bayless got the ball shortly after the half, passing it to Simmons.
The latter made a feint to shake DeRozan away, but the latter immediately caught up and eventually fouled himself.
Simmons went straight to the free throw line and hit all 2 free throws!
Derrick held the ball across half the court, and eventually the basketball came to DeRozan.
The latter suddenly made a move to break through, and Simmons immediately took two steps back, and it was too late to rush over.
DeRozan immediately hit a step-back jumper three-point shot!
Popovich nodded repeatedly and praised DeRozan as he passed by.
In terms of coordination, DeRozan has not fully integrated into the Spurs.
But in terms of individual offense, DeRozan is still very sharp!
Li Feng took the ball to the front court at this time, and the sound of "MVP" was faintly heard at the scene.
Popovich looked back, then continued to watch the game.
The current Li Feng is different from the previous three seasons.
He's the captain of the team!
Facing the young Derek, Li Feng easily passed him and then faced DeRozan's Li Feng and directly entangled with him!
In the end, Li Feng immediately jumped and caused DeRozan to foul!
Popovich frowned and immediately turned back to let Parker start warming up on the sidelines.
