At the beginning, when Popovich brought Murray to the Spurs, everyone thought that Popovich was a brain fever for a while, and the talent Murray showed was not as obvious as the other point guards.

Maybe it was in the market that they couldn't find the type of point guard that the Spurs wanted, and it was once rumored that Paul would go to the Spurs, but the end result was that Paul went to the Rockets, and the Spurs put Murray in the starting position.

Only Popovich knows that Murray has a lot of room to grow, and he has slowly begun to show his quality this season.

is as strong as Leonard now, didn't there be a team at that time, and the result? Now Leonard has been promoted to the ranks of superstars.

Popovich's subordinates don't need the point guard to have too strong individual ability, a lot of the time, they are playing team basketball, but he needs the point guard to be able to control the rhythm on the court, just like Parker, when to speed up the tempo, when to slow down and play, these Murray has begun to slowly improve.

As a young player, when necessary, you must also give full play to the advantages of young players, so Popovich's current lineup puts several old guys on the bench and allows young players to rush well.

Murray faced Paul's defense, it was a bit of stage fright, facing Paul sideways, keeping the ball within a safe enough range, Paul's height is already a loss in point guards, and it is almost impossible to pull the ball.

"What is this guy doing? Concave type? "Murray has been in this position for some time.

"I'm still too young and under too much pressure to know what to do."

The fans were already laughing at Murray, not a few boos, no way, who let this be the home of the Rockets.

Guy and Danny Green quickly interspersed, constantly pulling the Rockets' defensive line, and Aldridge helped Leonard make a cover, allowing Leonard to run smoothly towards it.

The reason why Murray has not made any action is also because he is constantly watching the position of his teammates.

The purpose of the Spurs is team basketball, so you don't need to force the score, but you need to pass the ball to the best players, which is what you are all about as a point guard.

"Murray, this kid, is making rapid progress!" On the bench, Parker and Ginobili were talking.

"Watching these young people playing, I suddenly thought of our GDP three!" Ginobili said with some sadness.

After so many years, Duncan has retired, and he and Parry are not far from retiring.

At this time, Murray suddenly began to move, pushed Paul hard, pushed a distance, and then took a quick step to break through to the right side.

Paul wasn't slow either, and after a pause, he started quickly and moved towards Murray.

Swish...

As he went, Murray took the ball with one hand and passed it directly diagonally.

The basketball appeared in the hands of Leonard, who was running up, at great speed and precision.

This ball is fast and powerful, if it weren't for Leonard's big hand, it is estimated that if someone else was replaced, this ball would have been missed.

After receiving the ball, Leonard made a direct emergency stop, turned around, jumped up, leaned back slightly in the air, and threw the ball, Anderson chased after him, and he didn't have time to defend at all.

This posture is extremely familiar, reminding people of the retired Kobe Bryant at a glance, and this ball is definitely a copy of Kobe.

In the past few years, Leonard has been improving every year, with more and more offensive means, and more and more accurate mid-range, becoming a trump card in the hands of the Spurs.

"This Murray and Leonard cooperate very tacitly, and the passing opportunity is just right!" Barkley said.

"Popovich probably wants to rebuild an iron triangle, Murray, Leonard, plus Aldridge, if successful, the Spurs will go to the next level!" Van Gundy Jr. said.

"In the past few years, after Duncan retired, it stands to reason that the Spurs will enter the rebuilding stage, but the fact is that no, Popovich has avoided the fate of rebuilding through several miracle trades!"

"I have to admit that Popovich's eyes are still vicious!"

After the offense was completed, the Spurs' defense also sped up a lot after the older players were replaced.

Players in each position quickly dropped the defensive formation and waited for the Rockets to attack.

After Paul dribbled past half court, he passed the ball directly to Harden without waiting for Murray to press it up.

After a few quick dribbles, Harden started to attack.

Now, with Guy the defender in place, Harden has a good offensive opportunity.

Guy hasn't fully recovered from his injury, and it's hard to keep up with Harden's pace.

The continuous disguise, coupled with Harden's unique rhythm, seized an opportunity and directly opened the distance between him and Guy.

At this time, after Harden cut in and took a big step, Yu Guang noticed Anderson lurking in the bottom corner.

Leonard's attention has been drawn to him, and he is ready to make up for it at any time, giving Anderson a nice space.

Harden waved his hand decisively and passed the ball over.

After Anderson got the ball, he didn't hesitate at all, got up and prepared to shoot a three-pointer.

Leonard, who had just stood a little distance, actually took a quick stride, and touched the ball thrown at the moment Anderson raised his hand.

Once again, the advantage of reach is on display.

Even though Anderson's shot was touched, Leonard's fingertips touched a little, and the trajectory of the basketball's flight changed a little.

Boom... Three-point iron.

Capela and Aldridge were entangled at the same time, and the two kept taking penalties under the basket.

Finally, in the chaos, the ball was picked up by Leonard.

Murray has been quick to start.

Leonard was first in time, flicking the ball in the direction Murray was heading.

"Defend!" While Cheng Lei shouted, he quickly rushed over.

Paul is also chasing Murray with all his might, and sure enough, after the young players come on the court, the Spurs' offensive style has also undergone some changes, and when they have the opportunity, they will also decisively launch a fast attack.

This may be the small lineup that Popovich has prepared.

Murray quickly rushed to the basket and jumped to his feet.

However, he chose to shoot, and instead did a move that no one expected.

Directly threw the ball with a backhand from the back of his head and outside the three-point line.

Leonard was standing outside the three-point line at this point.

"Are you crazy at this point?" Barkley couldn't help but say.

This is a typical Warriors style of play, but this style of play is unreasonable for any team, even if it is placed on the three-point Rockets, and now, it actually appears on the Spurs.

The Rockets watched Leonard pause and shoot the ball.

Swish...

Three-pointer scored!

Leonard held his hands high, but there was no mood swing on his paralyzed face.
