After 11 minutes of playing in the first quarter, Rondo was replaced in the second quarter, Liu Mang and Maddie and Kwame Brown all played, mainly because the first quarter was played for too long.

The outside trio of Jason Terry, Prince, and Battier were substituted, Marion remained on the court, and Rasheed Wallace was substituted.

Obviously, Liu Mang, Maddy, and Rondo played for so long in the first quarter, and the second quarter was going to be given to Jason Terry.

On the Spurs' side, Ginobili didn't play in the first quarter and came on the court in the second quarter to deal with Jason Terry.

Popovich's use of Ginobili is very clear, Ginobili has 20 minutes of good football in a game, and the average playing time per game is 278 minutes, no more, too violent style of play, so that Ginobili's body is weathered, and hair is the best proof.

Anyone who looks at Ginobili's unobstructed figure for a few years can't imagine that after he reached his peak, his playing style became more and more violent year by year, the number of dunks increased year by year, the number of shots in the three-second zone was also increasing, and the mid-range ...... Spicy-eyed, he averaged less than 3 shots per game from mid-range, and didn't shoot as many three-pointers from outside the three-second zone to the three-point line.

But that's what Popovich wants, the characteristics of the players are clear, just let him do his best, and what he appreciates about role players is that they have the characteristics of these role players and use them, which is the prototype of the Spurs system.

Yudri, Ginobili, Bowen, Melvin Eli, Francisco Elson, the Spurs' bench lineup is also very strong, Eli averaged 9 points and 5 boards per game last season, Elson averaged 5 points, 8 boards and 1.4 blocks per game last season, and the seven-foot black tall man who fought hard defensively came to the Spurs with varying degrees of data decline, due to the reduction in playing time.

Anyway, I'm here to get the basic salary and hug my thighs, and the data doesn't matter, just fight if you go up!

Bowen collapsed on the defensive end and couldn't make as big moves against opponents as he used to, and his ankle was easily dislocated, but the bottom corner three-point shooting was still very accurate, and Udri started his rookie season with an open pitcher shooting 43 percent.

Ginobili is really strong, don't look at his statistics and Jason Terry, Jason Terry averaged 19.7 points per game in his sophomore year, Ginobili only scored 17.8 points at the peak of his career last season, and his durability is not as good as Jason Terry.

But in terms of Ginobili's efficiency in a stable output of more than 20 minutes per game, Ginobili is stronger!

Jordan's nickname in 20 minutes, played out in the first two years!

The point is, Ginobili is demonic!

Demon one!

It's all role players who open up space, one-on-one singles, and Ginobili plays better against Prince who is stronger defensively than Jason Terry who faces Ginobili himself!

6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half of the quarter!

According to Jordan's self-proclaimed "scoring king strategy" of scoring 8 points in 10 minutes, playing 10 minutes in a quarter, and scoring 32 points in 40 minutes per game, Ginobili is more efficient!

Jason Terry scored seven points, one more than Ginobili.

But the Spurs scored 13 points in the first quarter to the Hawks' 10!

By the middle of the second quarter, the Hawks were 39-32 and their lead had been reduced to seven points.

Thirteen seconds into the sixth minute, in the scramble for rebounding, Elson touched the ball out of the bottom line, dead ball, and entered the official timeout.

Compared with the score, Jason Terry is worthy of Ginobili, he is a super sixth man, but compared to leading the team, Jason Terry is still a lot worse.

That is, Marion grabbed the offensive rebound himself and played 2+1, and under the Spurs team's strategy of locking up others, Ginobili and Jason Terry against Biao, the Hawks were at a disadvantage in the first half of the second quarter.

Coach Kruger made Liu Mang and Maddie ready, Rondo, who played well in the first quarter, was not replaced, the reality is cruel, even if Rondo plays well, he is still mainly Liu Mang's substitute, Coach Kruger has considered that he may play double point guard in the future, but not yet...... The main thing is that Rondo has played 17 games, and even made 8 of 20 free throws...... Don't look at the shooting rate under the basket is as high as 59 percent, it is really no offensive ability, it is okay to occasionally play a dozen double point guards, to be the main force, at least there must be a better grasp of the basket scoring, and now the shooting rate is high, because of the lack of shots, the average is only 3.9 points per game.

……

After halftime, the Hawks sent Liu Mang, Maddy, and Prince as the strongest defensive trio on the outside, and Marion on the inside went down to rest, replaced by David Lee and Kwame Brown.

The Spurs also changed back to the main lineup, and the troika of Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan was on! Artest went to the power forward position, Ginobili went to the small forward position, and the shooting guard was on the ...... Or James White.

In addition to Parker's 8 points, Duncan's 6 points, and Ginobili's 6 points, the Spurs had the highest James White 4 points.

At the troika's side, James White is too good.

The Hawks attacked, and Maddy advanced to the front court with the ball.

Didn't continue to play the tactics of the first quarter, there was one more David Lee, and he didn't know what the new tactics were.

After all, it was a new tactic, and the afternoon drill was mainly for the five starters and Jason Terry, and Rondo watched it himself when he was a sparring partner in the bench lineup.

Liu Mang came to the high post and leaned on James White to ask for the ball.

Maddie hoisted the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball and shook a shot, James White didn't jump!

Finally got the opportunity to play, James White listened to Popovich very much, and when he defended, he didn't jump no matter what.

At this point in the game, the confrontation between the two teams has already increased, James White tried his best to make physical contact with Liu Mang, this guy has good physical fitness and good jumping, Liu Mang is really not good at creating space for turning over and jumping, so he simply turned around and singled with a frame!

The space of teammates is wide open, and Duncan under the basket and Artest on the baseline defense of David Lee are ready to supplement Liu Mang.

Liu Mang controlled the ball with his left hand, and his right hand was between himself and James White, suddenly, Liu Mang's hips were lifted up, the center of gravity of his body was pulled away, his upper body leaned forward, and his left hand quickly slapped the ball to the right, dribbling the ball under his crotch!

James White saw Liu Mang make a breakthrough move, and took a horizontal step to the left, Liu Mang quickly pulled the ball with his right hand, shot it to the left, and dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously.

James White actually followed, purely physically, and moved back to the right.

But this time...... Liu Mang still didn't speed up immediately, and he completely shook James White to the core!

Liu Mang received the ball with his left hand and dribbled behind his back, turned 270 degrees to the basket, and came to the free throw line!

It's actually going online!

Artest is ready to block Liu Mang's bottom line, but I didn't expect it to go online!

James White stretched out his hand to pull Liu Mang but didn't have a chance! The direction in which he stretched out his hand was completely opposite to the direction in which Liu Mang broke through sideways and turned around!

Liu Mang turned to the free throw line and made a jumper......

A two-point shot from the free throw line!

It's a commotion!

The fans at the scene saw that James White wanted to foul and was even found in the direction, and was so shaken by Liu Mang that they turned their backs to Liu Mang, and couldn't help but cover their eyes, it was so miserable!

Is there anything worse than that?

Liu Mang has been avoiding not entering Artest's defensive area, and James White's defensive moves are trying to guide Liu Mang to Artest's defensive area, and the winner is Liu Mang!

Parker, who went to the bottom corner of the right side, didn't have a chance to pinch the attack, Ginobili who defended Maddie didn't dare to pinch the attack, and Liu Mang's one-on-one heads-up on the weak side succeeded!
