41 to the king
On October 28, Beijing time, the Sacramento Kings' home stadium ~ Arco Arena, the game between the Spurs and the Kings is about to start!
In the away team's locker room, Popovich habitually clapped his hands, emphasized the key points of the game, and announced the starting lineup!
Starting lineup: Point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Kyle Anderson, small forward Leonard, power forward Aldridge, center Pau Gasol!
In this game, Popovich did not promote Jin Feng to the starting line because of his outstanding performance in the last game, but continued to let him be substituted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For Jin Feng, this is already good news, at least he has entered the activation list, and there is still a good chance to get a chance to play in this game.
After all, compared to the Warriors in the last game, the strength of the Kings is much worse, and against such a weak opponent, generally speaking, the bench players will get more opportunities to play!
Soon, with the sound of the DJ and the cheers of the fans, the home team came out first, and then, when it was the turn of the away team, there were much fewer cheers and more boos, which is understandable, this is what the away team has to face, everywhere!
Sitting on the bench, Jin Feng looked around, and suddenly he heard someone in the stands shouting his name, and, hearing it clearly, was cheering for himself.
Looking around, it turned out that the cheering was coming from an area, to be precise, a fan area composed of Chinese.
Jin Feng stood up and smiled at the fans who supported him there, which was regarded as a thank you for their support.
There are a lot of Chinese living in California, and Sacramento is the capital of California, although not as drunk as Los Angeles, but there are still a lot of Chinese living here.
Jin Feng can imagine that the reason why these Chinese came to watch this game, in addition to the reason why they support the home team, is because of themselves.

The Spurs' opponent in this game, the Kings, has not changed much in the new season, and entering the playoffs may be their biggest goal this season.
Of course, as far as this game is concerned, the Spurs' interior will face a huge test, as they will face the impact of Cousins, the "No. 1 center below the head of the league"!
Cousins, in addition to being a little unwell in the NBA, is capable enough to pose a huge threat to the Spurs' interior line.

"Toot"
As the referee's whistle blew, the two sides jumped the ball near the halfway line, and in the face of Cousins, the veteran Gasol seemed a little powerless, so the jump ball lost to Cousins.
In this game, Jogel, the former Grizzlies head coach who quickly became the head coach of the Kings in the offseason, sent the strongest starting lineup.
Kings starting lineup: point guard Darren Collisson, shooting guard Aaron Afralo, small forward Rudy Gay, power forward Willie Cauleystan, center DeMarcus Cousins!
After Cousins grabbed the ball, he handed it to point guard Collison for the first time, and Collison advanced to the front court with the ball.
Cousins asked for the ball from outside the free throw line and immediately took a shot, but he didn't look very good and the shot didn't hit.
The rebound was grabbed by Aldridge, who handed the ball to Tony Parker.
Parker held the ball, Leonard was open in the left bottom corner, and then, Parker broke inside against Collison who was defending him, almost defending the position of the three-second zone, Parker suddenly split the ball and handed it to Leonard in the left bottom corner.
Kawaii made a decisive 3-point shot.
Whew, hit!
Leonard's hand looks soft, his condition is good, and, if you are careful, you will find that compared with last season, Leonard has changed a lot this season, such as his dribbling has become more fluid, and his shooting posture has become more standard!
While fighting again, the Kings attacked.
Small forward Rudy Gay held the ball to the basket and shook Aldridge to hit a backhand layup.
In this way, the two teams went back and forth, and although the Spurs were always leading, they could only keep the difference within 5 points, and the Kings always clung to the score.
This game against the Spurs is the first game of the new season for the Kings, and it is also the first home game, so the Kings don't want to lose, and they have a strong fighting spirit.
During this period, although Bobo also made personnel adjustments, Jin Feng was never replaced, until there was 1 minute left in the first quarter of the game, that is, when the main force was replaced according to the custom, Jin Feng finally got the opportunity to play.
With 1 minute left in the first quarter, Jin Feng came on and replaced Ginobili.
At this time, the Spurs led 26-20.
Ginobili had previously replaced Anderson after the official timeout, but after he came on the court, he did not perform very well, not only did not score a point, did not contribute on the offensive end, but also did not perform well on the defensive end, and paid 2 fouls.
An experienced veteran like Ginobili didn't play in half a quarter, didn't make any contributions, and paid two fouls, which is definitely abnormal, and it can be seen that his state in this game is really bad.
For Popovich, such a performance by a player is absolutely intolerable, even if it is Ginobili, so, with an order, Jin Feng played!
"Jin, remember, you have only one task, the last minute, to help the team expand the difference to more than 5 points"
This is the task that Popovich gave to Jin Feng before going on the court.
"On the Spurs' side, Jin played, the Chinese player who played the Warriors very well in the last game"
"Jin is out, let's see, can he continue the hot form of the last game in this game"
The commentators at the scene also discussed and predicted Jin Feng's appearance.
Playing with Jin Feng is also rookie Dejounte Murray, who replaced Anderson, so that the Spurs' lineup on the court is, Murray, Jin Feng, Simmons, Paul Gasol, David Lee!
The game continued, and it was the Kings who started attacking first.
As soon as Jin Feng came on the court, he faced the Kings' backup point guard Tylawson!
Tylawson, who was a quasi-All-Star with the Nuggets a few seasons ago, is in a bleak situation today.
After going through the Rockets, Pacers and other teams, he finally reached an agreement with the Kings this season to join the Kings, however, here, he can only be a substitute.
Speaking of which, to get to today's situation, Lawson is also to blame, and he is addicted to alcohol, for professional players, this is simply a murder knife, and it is strange if he does not fall.
After Jin Feng faced Lawson, who controlled the ball, he did not underestimate Lawson because of Lawson's situation, after all, Jiang is still old and spicy, and he has been in the league for many years, even if his state is no longer at his peak, he still has a certain ability.
