In the first game with the Toronto Raptors, Popovich made certain adjustments to the starters, Dejounte Murray, who performed very well in the first two games, served as the starting point guard in this game, while Jin Feng returned from injury as the starting point guard, Leonard and Parker are still absent due to injury, and the small forward position is played by Rudy Gay, and the inner twin towers have not changed.

For Jin Feng, he was a little surprised by Popovich's arrangement, after all, the Raptors are not a weak team, and like the Spurs, they have not tasted defeat in the new season, in such a game with a strong opponent, Popovich did not let him play the point guard, but boldly used Murray, Jin Feng had to praise the decisiveness of the old man.

And for Rudy Gay, this game is also very meaningful, as it was his first appearance as a starter since joining Spurs.

"The Spurs at home have a better chance of winning, although their core Kawaii and main point guard Tony Parker are still unavailable, but with LaMarcus Aldridge and China Jin, their strength is still very strong"

"Yes, the Toronto Raptors are certainly a strong team, but it's been a long time since they've won at the San Antonio Spurs' home court, and their starting power forward Valanciunas will be out with injury in this game, and don't forget that Kyle Lowry, who just signed a contract extension with the team, was not in good shape in the first two games."

Before the game, many people were optimistic that the Spurs, who were playing at home, would win this game.

……

Soon the game began, and Aldridge, who was in the same form as last season, used his trademark mid-range shot to help the Spurs score two points and officially kick off the game.

Immediately afterwards, on the Raptors' side, Kyle Lowry made a pass mistake and was stealed by Jin Feng, and then, Jin Feng assisted Aldridge to dunk the basket.

In the next round, Sergi Ibaka scored two points with a basket to help the Raptors score two points.

In the second minute and 36 seconds of the first quarter of the game, the Spurs' offensive possession, Murray dribbled to the frontcourt, faced Lowry's defense, and behaved very calmly, and then he used his first step advantage to pass Lowry in an instant, and then held the ball directly to the basket.

However, when he was about to go to the basket, he encountered Ibaka's strong head-on defense, and at the emergency moment, Murray distributed the ball to Jin Feng on the outside.

When Jin Feng, who was holding the ball, faced DeRozan's defense, he did not rush to shoot or pass the ball, but came to a back dribble, quickly moved right to avoid DeRozan's defense, and made a three-point shot in an empty position.

"Brush"

The basketball slices through the air in a beautiful arc and hits steadily.

At 12:6, Jin Feng helped the Spurs expand the difference to 6 points.

This is Jin Feng's first shot in this game, and it seems that his hand is not bad.

While fighting again, Aldridge continued to maintain the hot hand of the first two games, facing the Raptors inside Ibaka, he scored consecutive singles, and in the first quarter of the game only played more than 7 minutes, he scored 9 points, which can be described as very efficient.

After the official timeout in the first quarter, Popovich made a substitution adjustment, but he did not replace Jin Feng, but let him continue to play.

While fighting again, Jin Feng held the ball to the basket, causing DeRozan to shoot foul, and Jin Feng, who walked to the free throw line, said that he was very cold, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.

Free throws have always been Jin Feng's forte, so he hit both free throws.

29：24！

Thanks to DeRozan's excellent form, the Raptors have not been broken.

"Jin, you have to play more aggressively"

I don't know what the reason, Popovich on the sidelines always feels that Jin Feng in the new season is not too passionate on the court, or rather, Jin Feng in the new season seems to be less bloody than Jin Feng in the finals last season.

Popovich understands that that kind of bloodiness does need players to show in the finals or some big news games, but, in his heart, he prefers to see Jin Feng maintain that kind of bloodiness, and this is what he admires Jin Feng the most.

Before, he had longed for Tim Duncan to do it, and Duncan did it, but Duncan did it in a different way, that kind of invisible blood, and later, he wanted Leonard to do it, and he once "blatantly" told Leonard "Kawai, I want you to be able to play dirtier", and Leonard did do it, but he and Duncan chose the same way.

Popovich did not deny that there was anything wrong with this "low-key" bloodiness, but once as a soldier, Popovich's bones were accompanied by naked bloodiness in addition to strictness, so he hoped that Jin Feng could do it, he preferred naked blood, although the spurs he had built for many years gave people the feeling of being low-key.

Popovich once regretfully said, "I didn't coach Kobe Bryant in my coaching career, it's a pity, I like players like him"

Jin Feng in the finals last season left a deep impression on Popovich, and in those games, Popovich saw Kobe's shadow on Jin Feng more than once, and he was very pleased at that time.

However, in the new season, he didn't see too much of the domineering feeling of "arrogance and domineering" from Jin Feng's body.

was yelled at by Popovich, Jin Feng was a little surprised, the team is now in the lead, and throughout the first quarter, he played well, he has scored 7 points, why did the old man let him play more aggressively?

Could it be that the old man has discovered a change in himself? What an old fox.

Indeed, Jin Feng also knew in his heart that although he played well in the first game of the new season, he always felt that something was missing in his body, and the kind of thing that was missing made him feel very weak, and after that game, he was also looking for answers.

It just so happened that he was absent due to injury in the second game, so with enough rest, Jin Feng finally found the reason.

"Physical fatigue"

That's right, it's physical fatigue.

Jin Feng found that his body was not working very well during this time, perhaps it was related to the devil's training in the offseason.

So, he understands that all he needs to do in the next period of time is to get back to that crazy feeling, but it will take time.

He can hit the basket as always, however, there must be some changes in his style of play, and Jin Feng doesn't want others to see this change.

But obviously, the old man saw it.

However, there is no way to see it, Jin Feng can't ignore the body's endurance at this stage because the old man's sentence is more aggressive, you must know that just at the beginning of the new season, many players in the league have been injured.

Jin Feng's plan is to play "tasteless" in these games until his body fully recovers, of course, unless the team encounters adversity and wants to lose, at that time, he may break out strongly.

"Greg, why do you want to stimulate Jin? We just need to know that he and Kawai are the same type of players," assistant coach Messina has been an assistant coach for Popovich for a long time, and he naturally knows what Popovich wants.

"Hmph, let me tell you, he is different from Kehuai, or rather, in his bones, he and Kehuai are not the same type of players"
