In this game, for the Spurs, Danny Green continued to be absent due to injury, and in addition to Danny Green, Tony Parker and Ginobili did not enter the squad for this game.

For Jin Feng, his playing time in this game is theoretically very long, after all, the three players who did not play in this game are all from the backfield.

In the home team's locker room before the game, Popovich announced the starting list for this game, and what made Jin Feng a little excited was that he actually got the chance to start.

To be honest, it was definitely not what he expected, and although he expected him to get good playing time in this game, he didn't expect to start straight away.

The Spurs starters are as follows: point guard Kyle Anderson, scoring guard Jin Feng, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Aldridge, center Pau Gasol.

'Boys, pre-season is definitely necessary for the team and for you personally, so you have to pull yourself together and every one of you has to play .........

Popovich, as always, highlighted a number of issues.

………………

The Spurs' opponent in this game, the Hawks, is known as the "Eastern Spurs", and the current head coach Mike Budenholzer used to be Popovich's chief assistant coach, and he won the essence of team basketball that Popovich admired.

Of course, it can be regarded as a success, and in the 2014~2015 season, the Hawks played the first place in the East in the regular season.

However, in the past two seasons, the Hawks have become a completely different team once they reach the playoffs, and it has always been difficult to make a big breakthrough.

In the offseason, the Hawks introduced the "Warcraft" Howard, and the strength of the team is definitely increased from the point of view of the card, and its purpose is self-evident, naturally hoping that the team can do more in the new season.

Although the Hawks are known as the "Eastern Spurs", and the team is very similar to the Spurs, the Hawks' record against the Spurs has been very unsatisfactory in recent seasons, and it is even more difficult to find a win at the Spurs' home court.

This game, although it is a preseason, but, before Budenholzer said in an interview with the media, the team will go all out to win.

So, what about the Spurs, although there is no indication from the head coach to the players, but if you think about it, you can guess that the Hawks will definitely not let the Hawks take the game away at home.

In this game, the Hawks' starting lineup is as follows: point guard Dennis Schroder, scoring guard Korver, small forward Torrien Prince, power forward Millsap, center Howard. It's the strongest starting lineup.

…………………

Compared with Phoenix, San Antonio has a little more Chinese, so after the start of this game, Jin Feng found that AT & ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; There are almost 500 Chinese fans wearing No. 24 jerseys in the T Center Arena.

Of course, it is conceivable that among the more than 500 fans, not all of them are local Chinese in San Antonio, but there should also be fans from other parts of the United States and China.

For Jin Feng, this is a pressure, the fans have worked hard to see him play, so he should be worthy of the fans. Then, if you want to be worthy of the fans who came to watch him play, you must not rely on lip service, you must have real skills.

And the cultivation of real skills requires absolute effort.

……………

After a brief warm-up, the game officially began with the referee's whistle.

Gasol and Howard jumped the ball, and Howard got the first wave of offensive possession for the Hawks.

After Schroder controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, he slowly began to dribble and organize.

In the paint area, Howard opened his hand to ask for the ball, Schroder then passed the ball to him, and Gasol, who was opposite him, was obviously difficult to restrain him, Howard ate a body raw, pushed Gasol away, and then shot.

"Huh"

2 points hit!

Howard hit the first goal of the game for both sides, and it looked like he was in good hands.

After that, it was the Spurs' turn to attack, and Kyle Anderson handed the ball to Jin Feng just after dribbling just past the halfway line.

At the top of the arc, Gasol stepped forward to cover and set up Prince, and Jin Feng got room to shoot.

Three points at the top of the arc, shot!

The shot was very coherent, but the luck was not very good, the ball smashed on the basket and bounced out, Jin Feng smiled silently in his heart, the 3-point shooting rate at the top of the arc was too miserable, if he shot on the left side of the arc just now, it was estimated that he would have scored.

The Spurs did not completely lose this wave of offensive opportunities, after the ball popped off the basket, it was grabbed by Aldridge under the basket, because at this time, Millsap and Howard stepped forward to wrap Aldridge, so at the emergency moment, Aldridge threw the ball to the outside.

Jin Feng was very focused, so Aldridge's pass was not mistaken and was received by him.

Without any hesitation, Jin Feng started to accelerate the moment he received the ball, and went straight to the inside line from the left side of the free throw line.

"Break through with the ball on the same side", Jin Feng used his first breakthrough skill.

The basketball swung a few times on the basket and eventually fell into the basket.

2 points, hit!

…………………

That's it, you come to me, the Hawks played very tenacious, and at the end of the first three quarters, they were only 3 points behind the Spurs.

Of course, the final winner of this game belonged to the Spurs, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs beat the Hawks 13:2, and a wave took away the game.

In this game, as a starter, Jin Feng played very well, scoring a total of 15 points in the whole game, plus 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Compared with the first preseason game, Jin Feng's performance can be regarded as a great improvement, at least he is no longer stage frightened, and he can be more or less free.

……………

This season, the Spurs have a total of 6 preseason games, after the home game against the Hawks, the Spurs will play the Pistons and Magic away on October 11 and November 13, respectively, and then on October 15 and October 22, they will play the Heat and Rockets at home!

In these four games, the Spurs achieved a record of three wins and one loss, and Jin Feng did not get the chance to start in these four games, but his performance was reasonable, and finally ended the preseason with a record of five wins and one loss.

The end of the preseason means that the regular season is just around the corner.

For Jin Feng, to sum it up seriously, the preseason gains are still very large, first of all, he understands and adapts to the rhythm of the NBA game, and his mentality is becoming more and more stable.

With such a harvest, Jin Feng is confident to meet the upcoming regular season!
