Chapter 154: Angry Popovich

As the No. 20 rookie in the first round of this year, Giles was relatively lucky to start in the preseason, and he was replaced after a quarter, and he really couldn't guard against Aldridge, so he had no complaints about Zhang Feng's proposal.

The timeout ended, and both teams returned to the field. Seeing the changes in the personnel of the two teams, Kenny said: "The Spurs replaced Ginobili and Patti Mills, and the Kings replaced Giles with Randolph, what do you two think about this substitution?"

Barkley took over the topic: "The intention is obvious, the Kings want to strengthen the interior defense, but it may have been discovered by Popovich long ago, Ginobili came up to play the forward position, or take on the role of passing the ball"

"Don't forget, Patti Mills is also on the court, he's a heavy point guard, you see he's a lot lower than Dejounte, but he's a full 7kg heavier, and he's not slow, the Spurs are trying to consume a wave of Zhang Feng's strength first," O'Neal added.

As O'Neal said, Zhang Feng was in trouble at this time, and whether Zhang Feng held the ball or not, Patti Mills clung to him, as if leaving Zhang Feng was the end of the world. In basketball, running back and forth does not consume a lot of physical strength, dribbling and shooting are not too tiring, and only physical confrontation makes the players' physical strength drop rapidly. Zhang Feng was entangled by Mills, and although it did not directly affect Zhang Feng's offensive and defensive efficiency, he successfully prevented Zhang Feng's fast attack on two defensive counterattacks.

The problem of the king's inside line has not been completely solved, and there are hidden worries on the outside, David frowned off the court, and even the fans found that the king was stuck in the quagmire, and the shouts slowly decreased.

You can't fight like this! The thought crossed Zhang's mind, and he passed the ball to Randolph, who was asking for the position, and then made an accelerated run to get rid of Patti Mills and rush straight to the inside.

Randolph, as an old ball ruffian, threw the ball into the air when he saw Zhang Feng's movements, and Papa also saw the opportunity to block Pau Gasol who was going to step forward to make up for the defense.

Falling to the ground, Zhang Feng came up with his signature celebration - a flying kick in the air, and the fans at the scene screamed, and the momentum began to reverse.

"Manu, you attack this round," Popovich whispered as he pulled Ginobili, who was standing on the sidelines.

Could it be some special tactic? Although Zhang Feng has good hearing, he wouldn't have cared if Popovich hadn't said it on purpose.

Turning his head, Patti Mills began to circle the baseline with the ball, but Zhang Feng, who had already heard Popovich's tactics, didn't pay much attention to it, just symbolically followed Patti, and at the same time told Bogdan to keep an eye on Ginobili.

On the baseline, Mills passed to Gasol, who was close to the paint. However, this is not a position that Gasol usually excels at, and after a few shallow singles, Gasol passed the ball back to Mills.

Mills made a baseline attack, but Zhang Feng didn't care at all, Mills had no choice but to pass the ball, but found that Zhang Feng was always in the way of passing to Ginobili. Come on your own? Will the coach squirt? But there is no way, the ball can't be passed. Pattimills' heart was galloping, and he decided to do it himself.

The reason why players have to train is to develop inertia and muscle memory, and reduce the time to think when attacking and defending, because once they think, their movements will slow down. At this moment when Patti was thinking, the ball was a little unstable, and Zhang Feng made a lightning shot and made a direct steal.

Justin ran out directly when he saw the steal, received a long pass from Zhang Feng, and continued to speed up and rush to the hoop, and he showed a two-handed folding dunk without defense. With two consecutive dunks, the fans of Golden One Arena boiled again, and even if they were still trailing by 6 points, they shouted loudly and sounded the horn for the Kings to counterattack.

Immediately afterwards, the King's interior line also began to exert its power, first Randolph grabbed Aldridge strongly, Zhang Feng hit a three-point shot with a long pass, and Papayannis also grabbed offensive rebounds on Gasol's head twice, and successfully played a 2+1.

Popovich raised his hand to signal to the referee for a timeout, and the Spurs were tied by 10 points from the lead, and he was very unhappy with the team's state, "Kawaii and Parker are not here, you can't play?" Patti can't even pass the ball, Rama you will be caught by a veteran? Of course, the most incomprehensible thing to me is Paul, can you lose defensive rebounds? "Popovich seems to be swearing, but in fact he points out the problem, and sometimes the patience does not listen to the shortcomings and tactical players, which can work wonders in this way.

Kawaii sat next to him, looking innocent, "Why did you pull me?" ”。 Parker smirked hehe, he was injured and couldn't play, and avoided this moment of being sprayed.

In the TNT live broadcast room, the big screen was playing the picture of Popovich spraying people, and the trio couldn't help but laugh.

"Honestly, what do you think is the reason for the Spurs being tied up?" Kenny asked.

Barkley smiled and said in a serious voice: "As I analyzed at the beginning, the Spurs without Kawaii and Parker are completely impossible, do you see any decent tactics played by the Spurs tonight?" The Spurs' system has completely collapsed, and they basically rely on individual singles, and the only reason the Kings are behind at the start is that they are all rookie starters, and the rest of the game will be completely controlled by the Kings."

"You're even more optimistic than my little boss, but that's true," O'Neill quipped.

The referee's whistle was remembered, and the two teams started playing again.

After the Spurs players were sprayed wildly, they all ran actively, Zhang Feng's pass was almost interfered with several times, fortunately, there was no danger, the two teams attacked back and forth, the Spurs lost more and won less, at halftime, the king overtook by 12 points, Popovich angrily let Kawaii be interviewed by the midfield, and he went directly back to the locker room.

"Hi guys, I'm Maggio and we're interviewing kawaii, hello kawaii" The beautiful reporter started the interview.

"Hello," kawaii replied simply, "how did you feel about the first game of the new season?" Maggio asked.

"I don't feel it," kawaii said, "Why?" Maggio asked.

"Because I didn't play," kawaii's expression remained.

"Oh? Haha, okay. Now that the score is down, do you have any advice for your teammates? Maggio continued.

"If you want to win, you have to guard against Zhang Feng" Kawaii seemed a little excited.

"Then what do you think of Zhang Feng's performance?" Maggio took the opportunity to change the topic, Zhang Feng is the little prince of the recent NBA league, if kawaii comments a few words, it will definitely increase a lot of audience ratings, and her exit rate will also increase greatly.

"He's playing well, I'll defend him myself next time," kawaii looked at him with excitement in his eyes.
