In this game, when there were still 4 hours before the start of the game, Popovich announced to the outside world through the media that Aldridge and Jin Feng would be rested in rotation for this game.
This also made the game a lot less interesting, and in the end, the Spurs won 108-100 at home against the Suns.
Jin Feng didn't have much resistance to Popovich taking turns to rest himself in this game, to be honest, after a deep talk with Popovich, he also knew what he was about to face.
Then, take advantage of this time to take a good look at yourself, or rather, be ready to face the predicament.
Jin Feng didn't even appear at AT& amp; At the same time as the team played, he was soaking in a medicated bath in his apartment, of course, with a phone in his hand.
First of all, he called his parents, which is a regular communication every once in a while.
Secondly, he dialed Rudoi and Jiming respectively, because he has been performing well in recent times, so this has also allowed him to receive some endorsement contracts in the near future.
Jin Feng can imagine that in the next period of time, he will have to devote all his energy and time to the competition and training, and he will not have time to deal with these things at all, so it is better to deal with them before this.
Of course, the content of his communication with Rudoi also involves the issue of contract renewal, according to Popovich, general manager Buford should soon talk to him about the renewal of the contract, so leave these specific issues to Rudoi to deal with.
…………
On the last day of 2016, on December 31, 2016, the Spurs host the Portland Trail Blazers.
It's been a few days since the two teams met for the first time this season, so the players facing each other are familiar to both sides, and the Spurs were relaxed before the game.
In this game, Jin Feng did not get the chance to start, and Danny Green returned to the start.
Sitting on the bench, Jin Feng's face was a little gloomy, this old man is really daring, in terms of stubbornness, the old man is definitely the first one on the spurs.
"After this fight, I have to ask Manu and hope he can give me a good reason, otherwise, I won't compromise on this"
Jin Feng said coldly in his heart.
Jin Feng didn't get a chance to start this game, which surprised Spurs fans who followed this game, even if they knew a little about Popovich's use of troops, but, to be honest, it was really a bit unreasonable, because Jin Feng's recent performance was too amazing.
Of course, for some old Spurs fans, this scene, they seem to be familiar... Look at the bald old demon knife on the bench, and the memory comes flooding back...
After the start of the game, the Trail Blazers, who were fighting away, played very well, and in just about 5 minutes, the Spurs fell behind 12:21, which also made Popovich blush, standing on the sidelines, and constantly roaring.
In fact, in many games this season, the Spurs have almost dug holes in the first half and filled holes in the second half, and the old man is often angry because of this.
Moreover, the Spurs' home record this season is not very good, and it is hard to imagine that the Spurs, who played 41-1 at home last season, have lost 5 games at home so far this season.
In this game, the Trail Blazers' starters felt good, and it can be said that they bloomed more, especially the backcourt double shots Lillard and McCollum, who hit one after another on the outside.
Of course, Lillard and McCollum's back-to-back hits also illustrate the fact that Leonard, Parker and Danny Green really didn't play well on the defensive end, giving the Trail Blazers a lot of opportunities on the outside.
"Jin, replace Danny"
Popovich was finally replaced by Jin Feng.
What almost everyone didn't notice was that when Jin Feng came on the court, Trail Blazers head coach Tristotz unconsciously showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After Jin Feng replaced Danny Green, first the Trail Blazers' offense and defense, Jin Feng faced McCollum.
McCollum was previously defended by Tony Parker, and there was no doubt that the young McCollum had choked Parker enough.
At this time, Jin Feng chose to switch defenses with Parker, to a certain extent, for the sake of Parker's physical strength.
In the face of Jin Feng, McCollum directly chose to break through and slammed the past from the left side of Jin Feng, however, in this attack, McCollum did not make a layup because he passed Jin Feng, because he was then defended by Leonard.
In the face of Leonard's defense, McCollum barely shot, and the basketball smashed on the basket and missed.
After Aldridge grabbed the rebound, he handed the ball to Jin Feng.
After Jin Feng advanced from the back court to the front court, McCollum immediately stepped forward to press.
The Trail Blazers have "two shots in the backcourt", and in terms of defensive ability, McCollum is obviously better than his big brother Lillard.
Jin Feng, who was a little lame in dribbling skills, was also a little flustered in the face of McCollum's strong pressing, but fortunately, Parker immediately stepped forward to take the ball.
Parker, whose physical strength has recovered to a certain extent, held the ball and hit the basket directly, facing Aminu, he directly came with a small throw and hit the shot steadily.
After the rematch, Lillard advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and faced Leonard with a three-pointer.
"Huh"
Hit!
This is Lillard's third three-pointer in this game, and Leonard, who is responsible for defending him most of the time, has not performed very well in this game so far, you know, Lillard's three three-pointers are all completed in the face of his defense.
Popovich then made another personnel change, with Jonathan Simmons replacing Leonard and Patty Mills replacing Parker.
At the same time, the Trail Blazers also made personnel changes, with two shots in the backcourt, Turner and Crabbe.
"Jin, strengthen the outside attack"
After Simmons came on the court, he also immediately ran to Jin Feng's side to convey the old man's latest will.
Spurs' offense, after Mills controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, he handed the ball to Jin Feng.
As the third scorer in the Spurs team so far this season, at this time, Jin Feng needs to take on the task of scoring.
One step inside the three-point line on the left side, Jin Feng just received a pass from Mills, and immediately a Trail Blazers player pounced.
"O, China Jin Faces Trailblazers' Defense"
Jin Feng attacked with the ball, and the Trail Blazers players rushed up to defend, which is not surprising logically, so why should the commentator be so surprised.
The reason is very simple, because Jin Feng at this time is not facing the defense of a Trail Blazers player, but two, yes, two.
At this time, Turner and Crabbe, one left and one right, formed a pinching momentum against Jin Feng who held the ball!
