Chapter 57, good at summarizing.
"Jefferson is very responsible for the Spurs' loss in this game, and the shooting rate of 4 of 18 shots continues to be played like this, announcing the failure of the Spurs' summer recruitment."
"The run-in of the San Antonio Spurs doesn't look as good as the current Trail Blazers, you must know that the previous Spurs will not lose to the Trail Blazers in the state of the full lineup Such a huge point difference, they have internal problems, see how Popovich adjusts after this game."
“……”
TNT's Ross Barkley and Smith summarize the game.
"Defeat the championship favorite, the Trail Blazers are aiming for the championship!"
"Climbing to the top of the west, which is stronger or weaker between the yellow mamba and the black mamba?"
"Supernova chops three more pairs, is Xue Ding the next magician?"
"The Trailblazers have made a difference! Join the competition! ”
Xue Ding, who had just finished taking a shower, picked up his mobile phone and saw the beautiful words of the media and fans.
The major domestic browsers have followed up with pop-up windows for the first time.
Xue Ding finished taking a shower first, and he sat on the seat in the locker room to reflect on the gains and losses of this game!
No matter how much the outside world praises, Xue Ding knows very well that defeating the Spurs in front of him is nothing.
Spurs are just paper tigers.
Xue Ding knows that the Spurs are the most disappointing team for fans this season, and defeating him does not mean that the Trail Blazers have entered the championship ranks!
Why are Spurs the most disappointing of the league's thirty teams?
It's weird, it's not the Rockets, it's not even the New Jersey Nets, who are at the bottom of the league this season, it's the Spurs, the San Antonio Spurs!
It's this veteran powerhouse that has dominated the league for 12 years.
This summer, the Lakers brought in Atay, the Sharks traveled to Cleveland, Carter defected to the Magic, and the Celtics got Rashid. Wallace, while the Spurs were equally weak, traded 35-year-old Oberto, 38-year-old Bowen Sr. and Kurt Thomas for Richard Jefferson in his prime as the Bucks looked to rebuild, and they formed the Big Four of the Holy City.
The deal was well received by the industry.
Jefferson is a small forward with athleticism and the ability to score, a position that the Spurs have been eager to strengthen.
The media believes that his arrival can better connect Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, and is a very good addition to the Spurs' offensive system.
The Spurs had previously pursued the Nets' Vince Carter, but the Jefferson trade was more actionable, and the deal was eventually closed.
The combination of Parker + Ginobili + Jefferson + Duncan will put them back in the ranks of the top teams in the West.
As Duncan ages, time is running out for the Spurs to relive their championship dreams.
Fans also believe that bringing in an instant force like Jefferson can greatly improve the strength and confidence of the Spurs.
They even feel that if they can stay healthy, the Spurs will be a strong challenge for the Lakers' throne.
Compared to the other four teams who are also crazy about expansion, the Spurs trade seems to have fans to look forward to, Artai has a weird personality, the shark is quite old, and the same is true of Wallace, and it is still unclear whether Magic, Carter can replace Turk's Turk Turkoglou.
This summer, all Spurs fans are going crazy about the Qualmet trade.
They were excited about Popovich's sagacity, and San Antonio, the little unknown city, seemed to be as feared by the League as it had been for the previous twelve years.
But Xue Ding clearly remembers that the results of the Spurs this season were sad.
This season, the Spurs are ranked seventh in the West with 46 wins and 29 losses, with a nine-game win gap with the Lakers, the first place in the West, and a 14-game win gap with the league leader Cavaliers.
They were only able to maintain their playoff spot, and the Spurs scored 100.5 points this season, conceding an average of 93.5 points per game, which has improved over the past few seasons, but also increased by three points.
This is only a literal reflection of the result, in the actual game, the Spurs have been defeated by teams that have won more than themselves in the league, and those who are weaker have won by a large score, and the Spurs have become a team that "picks soft persimmons and pinchs", which is far from the stability of the Spurs in the past.
In the game, the Spurs often lose with high points, completely without the style of the previous defensive team, although the arrival of Jefferson, the team's scoring has improved, but for the Spurs, a team based on positional warfare, no defense, is equivalent to no foundation for the team, which is by no means made up for by high scores.
As far as this game is concerned, the Spurs lost to the Trail Blazers away, allowing the main players of the Trail Blazers to get high scores, and even allowing Xue Ding to play 20+10+10 data again.
They themselves are no match for the Trail Blazers offensively.
For Xue Ding, who has watched most of the games this season in his previous life, Xue Ding naturally knows what the problems of the Spurs are this season.
The problems with the Spurs mainly came in their Dinghai Shen Needle, and the twelve-year-old "Stone Buddha" Duncan had a problem.
Duncan is really old, although this summer the responsible Spurs boss chose to have the weight he has to maintain himself in order to maintain his competitiveness.
But there is no doubt that the effect is not significant, in the face of the impact of the Trail Blazers' young interior line, Duncan's pace cannot keep up, and on defense, the deterrent power of the stone Buddha is greatly reduced.
Defenders like Xue Ding and Fernandes can attack the frame repeatedly! It is conceivable what level their frame protection ability has dropped.
Also on the offensive end, Duncan's strength, although it can still compete with Oden's muscle stick, is already quite difficult.
As a 32-year-old veteran, Duncan's body could no longer keep up with his own consciousness.
There were two balls in the game that particularly impressed Xue Ding, Xue Ding saw that when the Spurs passed the ball to Duncan from the outside, Shi Buddha struggled to catch the ball, but due to the interference of the defenders and his own inability, the ball was touched out of bounds.
If this Spurs team has a decline in Duncan's own form that cannot be changed, then the Spurs' interior configuration is even more unsatisfactory.
Take a look at Duncan's partners, McDyce is too old, Bonner, as a white man, often wanders from the outside, and rookie Blair, although he performs well among the rookies, but his offensive and defensive characteristics and the fact that he is too short determine his defensive disadvantage, which is why the Spurs' defense in this game is extremely poor!!
That's the main reason why Spurs failed.
Xue Ding is a good summarist, and he likes to study after each game where he and his opponent can do better.
That's the biggest difference between him and other rookies.
Patty Mills, another rookie of the team, won't sum it up like that!
This is also the reason why McMillan often sees Xue Ding improving.
Xue Ding has many years of life experience, and he knows what he wants.
Now the Trail Blazers have reached the top of the West and crushed the Lakers under them!
But Xue Ding knew that the test of belonging to the pioneers was far from coming.
A good start only means that they have been in good form for the summer!!
This season is still a long one!!
