In April, the Spurs only had 8 games, because after 8 games, the 2016~2017 regular season of the Spurs was over!
On April 1, the Spurs faced off against the Thunder away, in this game, Popovich carried out a large area of rotation and discharged a substitute lineup that was not even a second team as the starting lineup, Jin Feng only played a total of 7 minutes in this game, or came off the bench.
In the end, the Spurs lost to the Thunder 99-106 away!
On April 5th, the Spurs played against the Jazz away, in this game, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Manuginobili continued to take turns off, Jin Feng started the game, as the team's starting point guard, in the game, Jin Feng played well and "Shuangde" had many wonderful cooperation, and sent a career-high 10 assists in the whole game, helping the Spurs to beat the Jazz by 3 points.
On April 5, the Spurs hosted the Lakers, and in this game, Popovich discharged the "Death Five" lineup composed of Jin Feng, Simmons, Leonard, Gasol, and Aldridge for the first time this season, which gave the Lakers away a head start.
Because at the beginning of the game, the Lakers were stunned by the Spurs' five lineups of death, whether it was outside or inside, the Spurs had a huge advantage over the Lakers.
Throughout the game, when the five major lineups of death were all on the court, the Spurs scored more than 20 points, and although the Lakers were a fish belly team, it was enough to prove the terrible new lineup of Popovich.
In the end, the Spurs defeated the Lakers and completed a sweep against the Lakers this season.
After this game, Popovich's "Death Five" was also recognized as being prepared exclusively for the Golden State Warriors.
Many people have to be moved by the old man's cunning, and they have to pray for the Golden State warriors......
On April 6, the Spurs faced the Grizzlies at home, although the overall strength of the Grizzlies is not as good as the Spurs, but it is definitely not a soft bone, so this game is not too easy for the Spurs, and in the absence of Leonard and Danny Green, Jin Feng finally scored 24 points, but he also failed to lead the Spurs to win at home, this game, the Grizzlies finally defeated the Spurs 100:92 away.
On April 8, the Spurs faced off against the Mavericks away from home, and this season's Mavericks were sad, and the main players were all absent due to injuries at the beginning of the season, burying too big a hole, which made them now sure that they would completely miss the playoffs.
Therefore, for this game, the Mavericks will naturally not go all out, and the intention of training is more obvious, and Popovich, obviously expected this situation before the game, this game, continue his rotation rest, Dedmon, Mills take turns.
For the Spurs, the lack of one or two people, especially the bench players, will not have much impact on the overall strength of the team, and the Mavericks are not strong, so it is very easy for the Spurs to defeat the Mavericks away and complete the "sweep" against the Mavericks this season.
Of course, for Jin Feng, in this game, he gained something again, in this game, although the Mavericks mainly practiced troops, they also gave the team's new core Harris Barnes a lot of playing time.
In the confrontation with Barnes, Jin Feng discovered a terrible fact, that is, although Barnes is not a superstar player or even an All-Star, his singles ability is very good.
This makes Jin Feng a little cold sweat, although he is performing very well now, but, many times, it is thanks to the Spurs team basketball system, his personal singles ability, this season, really not too much improvement, and as the playoffs approach, Jin Feng understands that he must do everything possible to enrich his ammunition arsenal, and individual singles with the ball is also one of the necessary homework, calculate the time, the new special training skills will be unlocked in a few days, perhaps, for individual offense, it is time to choose a special training skill......
On April 9, the Spurs host the Clippers for the fourth time this season and the last meeting of the season.
So far this season, the Spurs are ranked first in the league and first in the West, and the Clippers are ranked ninth in the league and seventh in the West.
However, it is precisely because both teams have secured playoff spots that both teams regard this game as extremely important, because the first and seventh places mean that the two teams may meet in the first round of the playoffs.
Therefore, in this game, the managers of both sides sent the strongest lineups.
Jin Feng continued to start this game, and he and Tony Parker formed a two-point guard backcourt combination.
In the previous meeting between the two teams this season, Jin Feng suffered the loss of "Paul" in the game, so in this game, although most of the time, Jin Feng's main opponent is still Paul, but he played very smart and almost didn't give Paul any chance.
In the end, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Clippers 104-100 away.
However, the biggest contributor to the Spurs' away win in this game was not Jin Feng, or even any of the "double virtues", but Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
Because of Jin Feng's relationship, this season, the Spurs' backcourt crisis has been eliminated to a large extent, among them, the two most profitable are Parker and Ginobili, and their regular season playing time is a new low in their respective careers.
Career-low minutes meant the duo got plenty of time off, and as the regular season drew to a close, it was clear that Popovich needed them to find their best form, so from this game onwards, the duo began to show their true level.
Parker scored 20 points in the game, Ginobili scored 17 points in the game, and the two combined for 37 points, which became the key to the victory over the Clippers in this game.
On April 11, Beijing time, the Spurs faced off against the Trail Blazers away, and in this game, Popovich experimented with a new lineup, to be precise, a new set of substitute lineups, namely Jin Feng, Murray, Simmons, Dedmon, and David Lee.
This new substitute lineup also achieved very good results in the game, which can be regarded as reaching Popovich's heart.
The Spurs' match against the Trail Blazers ended in a Spurs victory!
On April 13, Beijing time, the Spurs faced off against the Jazz away, this game was the final game of the Spurs' regular season this season, and the Jazz were one of the top defensive teams this season, which made Popovich attach great importance to this game and directly discharged the strongest lineup.
In this match, Popovich tried many versions of the lineup, but, overall, it can be boiled down to three lineups.
That is, the starting lineup led by Leonard, the second team led by Jin Feng, and the third team led by Ginobili.
These three sets of lineups all have good chemistry.
In the end, the Spurs lost to the Jazz on the road, however, no one cared about the outcome of this game, because the Spurs had already booked the regular season championship in terms of record before the game began......
The game with the Jazz is over, and for the Spurs, the 2016~2017 regular season is officially over.
