Chapter 257: Substitute Appearance

This time, Old Man Bobo not only promoted Murray to the starter, Green was also put into the starter, and Lei Shui had no suitable position and was arranged by Old Man Bobo to play as a substitute.

Of course, the old man Bobo also explained the purpose of this adjustment to Lei Shui, in the final analysis, the reason is that Lei Shui firmly occupied the starting position of the Spurs with his excellent performance, although this is a good thing, but it also broke the season plan of the old man Bobo, many substitute players can not be exercised, in the later part of the season, if there is a shortage of personnel, so that the substitutes who have not been trained will be able to bring victory to the team, so when facing such a team that is not too strong, it is still the main task to train the substitutes, When you meet a strong team, you will bring the real main force.

Lei Shui understood what Old Man Bobo meant, which meant that he had already gained the trust of Old Man Bobo, and he didn't have to accept any more tests, leaving the opportunity to those who really needed to be tested, and he had to rest.

I thought this was the arrangement, but before the start of the game the next day, Old Man Bobo learned about the Mavericks' lineup and temporarily added Ade to the injury list due to 'irregular heartbeat', but everyone knew that this was just an excuse to take a break.

For this reason, the league also sent someone to communicate with the old man Bobo, the Mavericks have been due to injury problems and well-known recruitment problems, resulting in the lack of star players in the lineup to attract live audiences and ratings, this is good, Bobo old man also won two star players at once, which makes the league really difficult to accept, after all, the season has only started for a long time.

Although Parker really has a sore knee, Xiao Hua doesn't believe the old man Bobo who has a criminal record.

Speaking of stubbornness, no one can compare to the old man Bobo, no matter what the alliance says, the old man Bobo insists on taking a turn in the name of injury, and finally the alliance is helpless, taking a step back and hoping that Lei Shui can return to the starter, after all, the rise of Lei Shui is unprecedented, plus the commercial value behind it, it can barely hold up a game, but it was also sternly rejected by the old man Bobo, even if it is a fine, it cannot change the arrangement of the old man Bobo.

In the end, the league had no choice but to reduce the TV and Internet broadcasts of this game, although this is the last thing Bobo old man wants to see, but after all, this is the home of the Mavericks, and the impact on himself is not very great, and Cuban is rich and will not care about this, and the league also feels very headache when he encounters two such teams.

That night, at the American Airlines Center Arena, the big screen played the Mavericks' starters: center Mgeri, power forward Smith, small forward Barnes, point guard Matthews, and point guard Seth Curry.

Then came the Spurs' starters: center Gasol, power forward Bertans, small forward Leonard, point guard Green, and point guard Murray.

The interior pillar of the Mavericks is Meijeri, who has the advantage of being 218 cm tall, does not possess the ball, and is defense-oriented, but the disadvantage is that he has no ability to take the initiative to attack, and his body is thin and weak, but fortunately, Gasol is not a power center.

At the beginning of the jump ball, the Spurs won the ball first, Murray held the ball, obviously not very suitable for the identity of the starter, and rushed to run near the three-point line when there were more people in the midfield, which also led to insufficient eyes.

In the next few rounds, both sides failed to score, the Mavericks were trying their hands and couldn't find a consistent scorer, while the Spurs were looking for too many combinations, and the final opportunity came in the hands of someone who didn't feel good.

In the end, the veteran Gasol took the lead in changing his style of play and pulled out his own mid-range shot to break the deadlock.

At this time, the Spurs also understood that the current lineup was not as efficient as one-on-one, so they concentrated on handing the ball to Leonard, the strongest point to attack, once Leonard identified the single, the efficiency was much higher, and it also attracted the help defense and created better shooting opportunities for teammates.

But the efficiency of his teammates is really not high, and many open shots are missed, which also makes the Mavericks more and more decisive in Leonard's defense, and overall, in the main time of the first quarter, except for Leonard, the performance of others is very limited.

Green didn't have much opportunity to attack, he took the initiative to defend the Mavericks' top scorer Barnes in order to let Leonard spend all his energy on offense, although the effect was not good, let Barnes take what he wanted in his head, but it finally liberated Leonard.

Green's defense of Barnes is not effective because Barnes's athleticism and height are stronger than Green, but Murray's side is different, compared to Seth Curry, height, arm span, and athleticism have an absolute advantage, but Curry shot 3 of 4 on his head, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, on the other hand, Murray, except for a fast-break layup, had no chance to shoot, sent 2 passive assists, but had 2 turnovers, and the performance was very bad. Everyone is on the same team, and this excuse really can't be used.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks led by 4 points at 18-14, and Old Man Bobo began to rotate the lineup.

First, there were two outside and one inside, David Lee replaced Gasol, and Thunderwater and Mills replaced Green and Murray.

After the substitution, the Spurs strengthened the clamp on the guard line, Mills made Curry a tough close defense, which made Curry very uncomfortable, and Matthews was targeted by Lei Shui and had no chance to shoot, so that Leonard also faced Barnes, and the Spurs comprehensively improved the defensive power of the Mavericks.

For two consecutive rounds, the Spurs caused Mavericks to make mistakes, and Thunderwater assisted Mills and David Lee to score respectively, tying the score, forcing Carlisle to take a timeout, and also began to adjust.

After the timeout, even Leonard went down to rest on the Spurs' side, replaced by Ginobili, and the power forward was replaced by Anderson.

The Mavericks took advantage of this opportunity to focus their offense on the interior, with substitutes Powell and Justin Anderson using their strong bodies to overturn the sea on the interior and score consecutive points.

And the players on the Spurs' side, Ginobili controlled the ball and Lei Shui blocked and dismantled, Lei Shui was taken care of by the Mavericks, and Ginobili was also difficult to pass the ball over, so he could only break through again and again.

The Mavericks took the opportunity to exceed the score by 6 points, and the blocking and dismantling were not good, so Ginobili simply gave Lei Shui a single.

Lei Shui's state also needs to be adjusted, and he feels that his shooting feel is not good, so he breaks through, and even takes penalties to bite the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs chased down 2 points left, and Thunder Water used more than 4 minutes to score 6 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, which was much more efficient than Murray.
