The Spurs have quietly climbed to the top of the West, and a group of people who seem to be a little older have become a hot topic again this season, can the troika lead the team to win the championship again?

At this time, the time spanned to February 2011, and the Kings' first game in February was to welcome the Spurs at home.

The Spurs are fully staffed.

Especially Manu Ginobili.

This season, the 34-year-old Manu Ginobili has played a new career peak in an incredible state, averaging 20.8 points and 5.1 assists per game in the game before the All-Star Weekend, and is also ranked fourth in the All-Star Weekend backcourt voting, even surpassing Chris Paul.

The key is that Ginobili has been short on the playing days, averaging 31 minutes per game this season – the highest number he has had in recent seasons.

It is precisely because of Manu Ginobili's ultrasound performance that among the troika, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker's data have been affected, among which Tim Duncan, who has only averaged 13+9 data per game this season, has the most obvious decline in terms of data.

The Spurs and the Kings are at war, and the clash between Popovich and the King tomorrow is quite expected.

Feb. 2, Kings home court, Sacramento.

San Antonio Spurs, arrived at Arco Arena on time.

The two sides have a regular pre-game ceremony, and this game has a special place for the Kings, and Jason Kidd will be back in the game.

The veteran, who has been repaired for a month and a half, will finally return to the lineup.

Kidd had a chance to be an All-Star last season, and fans have completely ignored Kidd in this season's All-Star voting, after all, his current appearance is half of the others, or even less than half.

During the pregame ceremony, the Kings made a star-studded look to welcome Kidd back.

Spurs starters: Tony Parker, Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Tim Duncan and Split.

Kings starters: Jason Kidd, DeRozan, Cosby, Al Jefferson and Tyson Chandler.

At the beginning of the season, Wang Ming had a lot of players in the inner line, in order to solve the problem of labor shortage in the inner line when the injury came, but he didn't expect that Jefferson and Chandler were both very strong, neither of them were injured, and they were not troubled by the injuries they encountered in previous seasons.

Kick off and Tyson jumps to win.

The king attacked.

Kidd held the ball, and the audience erupted in warm applause, which is a nostalgia for the veteran.

The big screen also showed the time of Kidd's last appearance, and it has been a full two months since now. The last time Kidd played, the Kings were second in the West.

In fact, Kidd could have made a comeback a long time ago, but Wang Tomorrow was on the safe side, and he has been letting him rest until now.

Kidd joked on the show before that if he didn't play again, he could retire directly.

Kidd was also a little excited, took two deep breaths, regained his composure, and then stretched out his right hand and made a tactical instruction.

DeRozan cut from the air to the baseline, suddenly ran back, and came out of the upper pocket, with the help of the double cover formed by Al Jefferson and Tyson Chandler.

"This is the biggest difference between the Kings' tactics this season and last season, DeRozan's point, which used to be an air-cut type of involvement, has now become the main point of attack of the receiving type."

DeRozan came out, Kidd didn't pass the ball at the first time, and when DeRozan finished the lap and cut again.

Kidd flicked his wrist and sent a beautiful blow to the ground.

The basketball hit the ground, DeRozan grabbed the ball with one hand, and sent it forward with his left hand, and the whole person quickly followed, then caught the basketball and took off.

Ahead, the Spurs were empty, DeRozan stretched his abdomen and stretched his arms, holding the basketball high in his right hand, and the tomahawk split dunk!

"Bang dang!"

The young man came up and slammed the flat frame, which made Popovich's eyes hot.

The Spurs are a bit young, and although the troika is still strong, there is no successor who can be cultivated outside the troika.

DeMar DeRozan, showing his talent to the fullest, may not be as talented as Duncan at the beginning, but it is much more talented than the current Spurs players except for the troika.

DeRozan's tomahawk slash ignited the enthusiasm of the entire Arco Arena.

It's not easy to dunk on the head of the Spurs, you know, the Spurs are the best defensive team in the league, the strongest defensive team.

The fans waved their arms and let out a deafening shout, which felt a little like a devil's home field.

The Spurs attacked up front, and Tony Parker moved the ball from the top of the arc to the right 45 degrees.

Tim Duncan screened Ginobili on the weak side, and Ginobili picked up Duncan's cover to get rid of DeMar DeRozan who defended.

"The quality of the cover is too good."

Wang Tomorrow didn't say anything about the quality of Duncan's cover, Duncan stood over there, like a wall, blocking defenders, especially when attacking with the ball, sometimes the important places in the tactics were not discovered by the fans, and the coach knew it at a glance.

Ginobili received the pass without any interference.

Then it was very simple to cut inside from the horns, and this breakthrough was his favorite, and Tyson Chandler on the inside guard, with his arms held high, avoided being fouled by Ginobili.

But Ginobili stepped out with his right foot, which seemed to be a European step to the left, but in fact he stepped out with his left foot to the right, and made a faster and deceptive layup, holding the ball with his left hand, which was a rebound for him.

The left-hander walks the right side of the basket, and the defender has to put more effort into keeping an eye on the ball carrier.

Like Ginobili stretches his body to the extreme, even Tyson Chandler can't cover it.

So fans saw that Chandler chased Ginobili, and Ginobili easily hit a master layup in Chandler's interference.

This is Spurs, and with one pass, the best chance appears.

Wang Ming rubbed his chin and turned his head to ask Michael Curry.

"Michael, how are we going to be able to defend Tim Duncan's cover?"

"Bypass or change the guard."

Michael Curry gives the most of two defensive styles in the industry, the first one could give Duncan's screener space to shoot, and the second could allow the Spurs to find a misplaced opportunity.

"What about after the misalignment?" Wang would like to hear the coach's thoughts on changing defenses tomorrow.

"The mismatch has to be changed again, and after the misalignment, you can choose the bag appropriately, and then when the Spurs share the ball, you can change it back, which is one way."

Michael Curry said:

Wang Ming thought about it, this defensive method is more extreme, if the opposite side is misplaced and clearly opens the formation to attack the king's weakness, it will also be a headache, after all, Tony Parker and Ginobili of the Spurs are very fond of small and big, and the two are very experienced in misplaced offense.

is still a lack of vitality on the front line, last season, if the No. 4 position was Bosh, Wang would have chosen to change the defense infinitely tomorrow.
