And if Jonathan Simmons, who scored five points in a row, could not make most fans recognize that he would be an "unexpected surprise" for the Spurs in this game, then when Simmons played well again in a row, most fans finally recognized and expected him.

In the next round, the Warriors' offense, Simmons first rewarded Curry with a chasing hat, and then went to a fast-break layup to score two more points.

"Seven points, yes, it's seven points, it's a big surprise for the Spurs, when San Antonio needed a hero, China Jin took the lead, and then Jonathan Simmons, who replaced Kawaii, also stepped up"

14：3！

Who would have thought that this game would start like this, the Warriors of the Big Four were actually beaten 14:3 by the Spurs, who did not have a superstar!

Kerr is roaring, Warriors players are frustrated......... Of course, this is only a momentary picture, after all, the game has just begun!

"Oh, China's Jin is caught in the bag, the Warriors' defensive intensity is improving, okay, Kevin Durant has completed a steal on China's Jin"

The warriors, who felt humiliated, finally woke up, and in the next round, their intensity on the defensive end increased sharply, especially against Jin Feng's defense, which was even better.

And this also made Jin Feng make his first mistake in this game.

After Durant completed the steal on Jin Feng, he made a quick dunk under the basket.

While fighting again, when Jin Feng encountered a strong defense again, on the sidelines, Popovich's roar spontaneously appeared, "Jin, the second plan"!

The so-called second plan refers to reducing individual offense and focusing on tandem offense, especially Aldridge.

In fact, without being reminded by Popovich, Jin Feng was already planning to change tactics, and in the face of the double bag of Curry and Green, Jin Feng threw the ball to Aldridge on the left side of the paint area.

Aldridge, who received the ball, made a smooth mid-range shot.

"Huh"

Hit!

It was his first shot of the game, and it looked like it was not bad.

As the first quarter of the game deepened, the play of both teams gradually stabilized, and at the end of the first quarter, the Spurs temporarily led the Warriors 31-22.

The 9-point lead is not easy for the Spurs, after all, when the first quarter of the game is in the last minutes, the Big Four Warriors are playing more and more normally.

Of course, for Popovich, who was 9 points ahead of the first quarter, what made him more excited was that he bet right, Aldridge, who returned to the power forward position, played his unsolvable mid-range shot, and in the second half of the first quarter, it was his mid-range 3-of-4 shots that allowed the Spurs to maintain the lead.

In addition to betting right, there was also a windfall, and that was Simmons' outburst, which, to be honest, was beyond Popovich's expectations.

In Popovich's expectation, Simmons may explode, but the outburst he expects refers to Simmons' outbursts on the defensive end, such as limiting Durant well.

However, what Popovich didn't expect was that Simmons' outburst was an outburst at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, not only catching Durant off guard on the defensive end at the beginning of the game, but also firing on the offensive end, playing well, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, and for a moment, Popovich felt that Simmons perfectly replaced Leonard's position.

If before the start of this game, Popovich thought in his heart that if he wanted to win this game, three points would depend on strength and seven points would depend on luck, then now he has changed his prediction, that is, at least five to five.

Popovich was happy, Jin Feng and they were naturally even happier, to be honest, the first quarter was so cool, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good job, kids, I'm proud of your performance, that's it, when we all give it our all, we have the ability to beat any enemy, so, in the second quarter, keep trying, in the second quarter, I want everyone to work harder on the defensive end, if possible, I want the first half to be over, and the suspense of this game is gone, because we all know that the longer the situation drags on, the worse it is for us..."

Popovich's words echoed throughout the bench, and Jin Feng also had a desperate expression.

…………

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, both sides made personnel adjustments, on the Spurs' side, Popovich replaced Gasol with a defensive titan Dedmon to ensure the defensive intensity of the interior, and then replaced Danny Green with Ginobili to strengthen the outside offense, of course, it can also be considered to further liberate Jin Feng on the offensive end, after all, when Ginobili appears on the court, he will be the ball handler, this tradition, even when Tony Parker and Ginobili are on the court at the same time, this tradition is the same.

On the Warriors' side, Kerr first replaced Pachulia with McGee, maybe he was not in good shape, or maybe he was a little unbearable by the trash talk of the home fans, in short, Pachulia performed very badly in the first quarter of the game, and then Kerr replaced Draymond Green, who was also not in good shape in the first quarter, with Iguodala.

After the start of the second quarter, the Spurs attacked, and sure enough, the ball handler became Ginobili.

Jin Feng was actually very happy that Popovich let Ginobili control the ball, after all, it shared his pressure and gave him more energy to score.

After Ginobili advanced to the front court with the ball, he walked left and right to control the ball at the top of the arc, and gestured to Aldridge to pull Aldridge high and cover him.

When Aldridge pulled up to the top in the next second, Ginobili leaned to Thompson and immediately began to break through from his right side.

After passing Thompson in an instant, and then facing Iguodala who was about to pounce, Ginobili opened his serpentine breakthrough, and it is hard to imagine that the serpentine breakthrough of the soon-to-be-40-year-old Ginobili looked so ethereal in an instant.

Needless to say, Ginobili, who is getting older and more demonic, made a successful breakthrough this time, and he used his serpentine form to break through Iguodala and then made a layup.

When Ginobili finished the layup, the stadium also erupted in cheers and sighs from many commentators.

"That's why the Spurs are now more than 10 points ahead of the Warriors, and look at every Spurs player who plays, they can play a role and really help the team."

"So, for the Warriors, they have to take their opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, this is an unusual team with young players, experienced veterans, and a sophisticated Gregg Popovich."
