Chapter 178: Standing on the Field

In the summer, the Spurs retired from the game and lost David West, who joined the Warriors for a championship dream, and traded away the nimble fat Boris Dio. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the Spurs strengthened Pau Gasol to replace Duncan, formed a two-tower combination with Aldridge on the inside, and got David Lee to strengthen the interior, and took out Washington point guard Dejounte Murray in the draft, and signed Thunderwater in the preseason.

Today's opponents, the Warriors, were not idle in the summer after losing the championship last season, and got the big fish Kevin Durant, but due to salary issues, the interior lost Andrew Bogut and Festus Azeli, and could only be replaced by the cheaper Zaza Pachulia and David West.

Outside Harrison Barnes was poached by the Mavericks, and the Warriors didn't stay, after all, with Adu, Brandon Rush and Leandro Barbosa also switched to his team.

Lei Shui chose 39 as the number, because before choosing the number, he specially asked Lu Shi the number when he played, which was No. 3, so he added 3 in front of his No. 9 to show respect for Lu Shi.

This game was played at the Warriors' Oracle Arena, Lei Shui came for the second time, the first time was to watch the ball with Lu Yu, and he also shot in the midfield to win the bonus, in the pre-game shooting warm-up stage, Lei Shui could only pick up the ball for the main players most of the time, pass the ball.

However, Curry of the Warriors recognized the Chinese guy who had shot a long-range goal in the center of the court, and Curry walked over and greeted: "Hey, I remember you, guy from China." ”

Lei Shui politely replied, "Hello, Stephen, I'm here again." ”

Curry said: "You're now part of the Spurs, congratulations. ”

Lei Shui said: "I just signed a short and pitiful contract. ”

Curry blinked and whispered, "Well, if you get a chance to play in a while, how about I let them let go and let you score a few goals, maybe it can earn you a long-term contract." ”

Lei Shui said: "No, no. ”

Curry playfully said, "It's okay, it's just preseason." ”

Lei Shui knew that Curry had misinterpreted what he meant: "I mean I don't need to release water, I can also throw it in." ”

Curry was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'm optimistic about you, Chinese boy!" ”

Soon, the two teams returned to the bench to start the game, and head coach Popovich sent C Pau Gasol, PF LaMarcus Aldridge, SF Kawaii Leonard, SG Kyle Anderson, PG Tony Parker this time.

The Warriors fielded C Zaza Pachuria, PF Draymond Green, SF Kevin Durant, SG Klay Thompson, PG Stephen Curry.

In such a matchup, the Spurs obviously have a high advantage on the inside,-for-tat at the small forward position, and the Warriors have an advantage in the guard position.

Anderson is a strange thing, 206 tall, can play from the 4th position to the 1st position, and is known as the 'essence of human wriggling' or 'Time Lord', mainly because he is surprisingly slow, and not only his own rhythm is slow, but also slows down the opponent, pulling the opponent to the same rhythm as himself, and then defeating the opponent with rich slow-paced experience.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs got the first wave of offensive rights, but the Warriors adopted joint defense and forced the Spurs to attack on the outside, the Spurs' first shot missed, and the Warriors failed to shoot.

Then the Warriors took advantage of their new strength, Durant scored alone, and the Spurs began to take advantage of the interior height advantage to start attacking.

Both teams wanted to play to their strengths, the Warriors took the opportunity to speed up, Tang Shen was not disturbed by Anderson and scored directly under the basket after passing one step, the Spurs were not in a hurry, and Gasol returned the shot.

In the next few rounds, both teams failed to score, and the Spurs made the first effort to use the inside twin towers to score points, and the difference gradually widened to 6 points, at which time Curry stepped up to get rid of the defense and hit a three-point shot, and the Spurs immediately asked for a timeout.

Popovich focused on defensive issues from the perimeter during the timeout, as Anderson moved too slowly, so he made a call for a switch.

And the head coach of the Warriors, Kerr, was previously an assistant coach of the Spurs, what Popovich thought, Kerr must have anticipated, and sure enough, when he came back, he opened up space for Durantra, did not give him a chance to change defenses, and let him play Anderson alone.

Durant was not affected by Anderson, and took advantage of his height and arm length to score 7 points in a row to overtake the score, and the Warriors took the opportunity to get up and play defensive counterattacks, no matter who could easily pass Anderson.

After all, Anderson is too slow, it's okay to play big forward, really put it on the guard line, it was really suddenly turned into a big colander, seeing this situation of Lei Shui, but he was a little secretly happy in his heart, after all, his current height has grown to a little taller than Anderson, but the speed is much faster than him, and after a summer of training, the strength is enough, the weight has increased a lot, and the ability to fight has been greatly improved.

And Popovich did not send Ray Water to the court, or according to the previous rotation, replaced with Dedmon, Simmons and Mills, after all, Ray Water has just joined the team and has not practiced together, so Popovich will not let him play easily, and these substitutes gave full play to their vitality after coming on the court, and they overtook the score in a wave of 6:0 in more than a minute.

The Warriors paused to adjust again, and then overtook the score, and the Spurs sent Ginobili, who was nearly 40 years old, to attack with passes and steals, and helped the Spurs lead by 8 points before the end of the first quarter, and Jordan in 20 minutes was really not in vain.

Lei Shui carefully observed Ginobili playing, because Lu Shi had explained that if he wanted to have a chance to perform in a limited time, he had to learn more about how Ginobili played, but it was not easy to learn Ginobili, his movements were elegant and weird, and he always did not play cards according to the routine, and there was no routine to follow at all.

Lei Shui could only sit on the sidelines and watch the game seriously, and after several waves of rotation, Popovich didn't even look at Lei Shui.

In the second quarter, Livingston of the Warriors used the rhythm to hit Anderson in a row to tie the score, and Thunder Water understood that Anderson's wriggling magic skills were not always effective.

When Livingston was getting what he wanted, Popovich suddenly leaned over and said to Thunder Water, "Ray, can you restrain Livingston?" ”

Lei Shui was stunned by Popovich's sudden question: "Huh? ”

Popovich was a little unhappy with Thunderwater's reaction: "Can you restrain Livingston!?" ”

This time Lei Shui nodded hurriedly: "I can!" ”

Popovich pointed a little thunder water with his index finger: "Get ready to play." ”

Thunder Water immediately took off his coat and stood on the sidelines, Popovich said to Thunder Water: "Your task is to defend Livingston. ”

At this time, in the little penguin live broadcast room in China, Ke Fan and Su Qun were commenting on the game, and when they saw Lei Shui standing on the sidelines, Su Qun said, "Oh? Thunderwater is ready to play, the Spurs have given him a short contract, and his performance on the court is the key to whether he can stay or not. ”

Ke Fan said: "Seeing that the thunder water is much stronger than before, and the muscles on the arms have obvious ups and downs, it seems that the summer is not idle." ”

Su Qun said: "He played for the Spurs in the summer league, although the playing time was limited, but the performance was very good, which is why Popovich was able to give him a chance in the preseason, and the other thing is that he must have replaced Anderson, Anderson moved too slowly, and was shot several by Livingston." ”

After a dead ball, Thunderwater replaced Anderson and stood on the NBA court for the first time as a player.
