Chapter 185: The greater the ability, the greater the temper
At this time, the second quarter of the game has begun, the Spurs hit a shot to tie the score, and both teams then seemed to have given up their defense, and they could easily score on the inside, Lei Shui felt that he had to show his defense at this time, and when the King's backup center Stein hooked sideways, Lei Shui rushed straight from the weak side, jumped high behind Dedmon, and gave Stann a big hat.

Ginobili grabbed the ball and assisted Mills for a layup.
The Kings quickly served over the halfcourt, due to the fast break just now, the defense was not fully in place, Dedmon switched to the power forward position, Lei Shui hurriedly made up for it, just against Stein, Stein was the No. 6 pick in the first round of 15 years, just was slapped by a nobody, and was still in a state of confusion just now, this time I saw Lei Shui so quickly, and immediately felt that the moment of revenge came! You have to fight to find a field!
Stein took the opportunity to turn his back and began to ask for the ball, and his teammates also gave him the ball with interest, Stein is 213 tall, one piece taller than Lei Shui, although he is only 109KG thin, but he is also a center forward.
Stein made two hard pushes, but only pushed in a small step, plus Lei Shui also took the opportunity to reach out and interfere with his dribbling, seeing that it would be three seconds if he didn't attack, he had no choice but to turn around and prepare for a hook, Lei Shui was much more agile than Stein, and immediately pasted it from the side, and pressed it on the ball at the moment when Stein was about to start, Stein hurriedly grabbed the ball, and Lei Shui refused to let go, and the referee on the bottom line immediately awarded a scrum.
Popovich and Jorg also took the opportunity to start switching to the main team, and remained on the court as the two substitutes, Rayshui and Stein, were fighting for the ball.
In the scrum, although Stein has a height advantage, if you count the arm span, the gap is not very large, and Thunderwater also has a bounce advantage.
The two stood elbows against each other's elbows, and the ball was thrown high, Stein had been in the league for a year, and he still had experience, before jumping, he used his elbow to press Lei Shui's arm intentionally or unintentionally, and then went to pluck the ball, the ball was naturally touched by him first, and it was dialed into the hands of his teammates.
The Kings took advantage of a defensive misalignment, and Guy turned around and forced Parker to a mid-range.
At this time, the Kings were relatively weak on the court except for Gay, Parker handed the ball to the inside, and Aldridge forced Stein to hit.
At this time, the Kings were controlled by Lawson, a player who should have been in his prime but had just passed the Rockets, with an annual salary of tens of millions, but he couldn't even play half of his value, and he could only float aimlessly on the weak side or outside the three-point line on the court, and he was reluctant to be a pitcher, the reason may be because Lawson needs the ball, and the Rockets' ball is in the hands of Harden, Lawson can only act as a caddie and fixed-point pitcher who dribbles through the half court most of the time, plus he also has a habit of alcoholism, This made him, who was originally only 180 tall, completely lost, fell to the lowest point of his career, and ended up with the fate of being cut by Morey.
Fortunately, before this season, the Kings were in dire need of a point guard after losing Rondo and Collison suspensions, and were willing to give Lawson a chance and gave him a one-year non-guaranteed contract of more than one million.
Parker bent down to stare at this Lawson, rubbing his nose from time to time, I don't know if he smelled the smell of wine emanating from Lawson's body, Lawson observed the form on the court, the eldest cousin Cousins was not there, Guy was firmly covered by Leonard, and the others had no ability to play alone, in the face of Parker, he felt that the opportunity to prove himself had come, and he swayed left and right to push Parker away from his relatively strong body, but the shot failed to hit, and the Spurs were very relieved about his state. Lawson couldn't keep up for a while, and in order to prevent the Spurs from making a fast break, he could only pull Parker and apply for a foul.
In this way, Cousins also took the opportunity to come back and guard the inside, and Ade opened the inside line for Gasol, and caused a foul by hitting Kouvers, making 2 free throws and 2 of 2.
After the king had Cousins, he had an offensive strength, first dribbling directly to break through Gasol and making fouls, and then playing 2+1, and beating Gasol down as soon as he got on the court.
Although Gasol was beaten, Cousins didn't show much happiness, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he was beaten down, anyway, he was unhappy.
Cousins' arrival immediately changed the format of the field, and David, who came off the bench? Lee was directly crushed, and all kinds of breakthroughs, three-pointers, and fouls came, plus he guarded the inside line, and actually overtook and led the Spurs by 6 points in one fell swoop.
Just when the form was good, the Spurs decisively used blocking tactics to replace Leonard in front of Cousins, and in the face of Leonard, Cousins was able to maintain a defensive position, but Cousins was a center after all, and it was still difficult to maintain flexibility all the time, and he was deceived by Leonard for a foul.
This time, Cousins's little temper came up, and he began to chatter with the referee incessantly, and the referee also looked helpless, explaining the rules to Cousins, if it weren't for the preseason, it is estimated that he would have begun to give T.
Anxiety brought Cousins two consecutive turnovers, and Leonard and Aldridge played once, and the Spurs chased the score again, and the Thunder Water defensive task was not heavy, at this time leisurely on the court, sometimes helping to grab rebounds, sometimes making up for a defense.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Joggle immediately called a timeout to adjust, Cousins frowned and lowered his head back to the bench, and began to wipe his sweat in a muffled voice, Joggle shook his eyes at the team's assistant coach, and the assistant coach immediately understood and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, Cousins, the donkey temper, just needs to say good things to coax, presumably the king's assistant coaches have practiced the skill of smoothing the hair.
On the Spurs' side, Popovich looked at the players off the court and suddenly said, "Ray? Why are you still on the field? ”
Lei Shui was stunned: "Ah, you didn't say to change me." ”
Popovich thought for a moment and said, "Well, maybe I forgot to change it, then you have a rest." He pressed Lei Shui back onto the bench.
After the timeout, the Kings paid attention to cutting off the Spurs' inside and outside passing routes, forcing Leonard to play alone on the outside.
And Cousins, who calmed down, cooperated with Guy, and after attracting the bag, he assisted Guy's continuous mid-range shots, and Guy also reciprocated, breaking through and feeding Cousins a few easy scoring opportunities to exceed the score again.
With both ends of the floor restricted, Popovich began to call a timeout and make substitutions, but the effect was not obvious.
It wasn't until the last three minutes of the first half that Popovich asked Raywater: "Ray, you can play point guard, right?" ”
Lei Shui nodded: "Yes, not only can I play, my main position in high school and college is point guard." ”
Popovich nodded, waved his big hand, and began to make substitutions, Dedmon played center, Ginobili and Thunder Water changed to play guard, greatly improving the height of the backcourt.
Thunderwater is still in the testing period, Popovich confessed that he is only responsible for dribbling over half the court, and the ball still has to be handed over to Ginobili to handle, but the defensive effect is revealed, and the three positions on the outside can be changed infinitely, Guy is restricted, and Cousins is stuck in the inside singles mode again.
Cousins immediately cashed in on the characteristics of the greater his ability and the greater his temper, and fell into a manic singles mode, the manic Cousins began to ignore his teammates, the center guard was all covered, and directly pulled the rebound that Koufus got into his hand, dribbled to the frontcourt, and hit a layup against Dedmon, just when Cousins was still jumping on his heel and the referee wanted 2+1, Thunder Water had already taken the ball in the middle and went down quickly, Ginobili was on the left Leonard on the right, and Thunder Shui assisted Leonard to score a layup.
On the one hand, you don't have to give the ball to Ginobili, you can directly distribute it to the easiest teammate to score to get assists, and on the other hand, you don't have to worry about defense at all, Cousins has no teammates in his eyes, just attack by himself.
In just two minutes of offensive battle, Lei Shui got 3 assists.
However, the Kings relied solely on Cousins' furious scoring ability, and at halftime, the score was still very biting.
