A day later, A& In the center arena, the Spurs host the Thunder, and Popovich stands in front of the tactical board, holding his chin and seems to be thinking about something.

Before the Spurs game began, the Celtics' game was over, and the Celtics played back-to-back games against the Hornets at home, winning 101-97 in the end, bringing the winning streak to 12 games.

12 consecutive wins, the first time in the new season that a team has reached this record.

Popovich frowned, he had to admit that the pressure given to him by the Celtics, although he has always adhered to the "natural pursuit of results", but he does not want to see his team be surpassed at will, or even thrown away, after all, his competitive heart is still there, and the San Antonio Spurs also need to compete, this is competitive sports.

Of course, he's Greg Popovich, and he's not going to get messed up because of the Celtics' winning streak, at least the Spurs are still methodical in preparing for the Thunder.

"Okay, guys, let's talk about the starting lineup for this game, starting point guard Tony Parker, scoring guard Jin, small forward Kyle Anderson, power forward Pau Gasol and center LaMarcus Aldridge." Popovich clapped his hands, stood in the center of the court, and began to lay out the specific play of this match. "Kyle, after you get on the court, you are mainly responsible for the defense of Cameron Anthony, and Paul, expand your defense, pay attention to the help defense against Russell Westbrook, don't let him easily enter the penalty area, Jin, you have to play against Paul George"

"On top of that, on the offensive side, we started with a hammer and opened up the offense with outside shots, guys, the importance of this game, I don't think I need to say more, right? Go for it! Defeat Oklahoma City! ”

After a short set-up, the Spurs showed up on the court and began to warm up.

Jin Feng made a few three-pointers, and then stretched his muscles and bones on the side, and recently the team's physical trainer Matt Herring formulated some training plans for him, including stretching his muscles and bones. In the words of fitness expert Matt Herring, stretching your muscles allows you to perform certain movements more physically during the game, such as the step-back jumper.

The backward jumper is a technical action that tests the flexibility of the player's body, and its two most critical points are the strength of the upper limbs and the flexibility of the body, and Jin Feng's upper body strength is not a problem, and the waist and abdomen strength is also there, but the flexibility is still a little worse, without the flexibility of the waist and abdomen, Jin Feng's backward tilt will be very stiff, and the stiff backward will make the shooting not as soft as imagined, and the shot will be difficult to hit, even if he is specially trained to shoot backward jumper.

With the help of the assistant coach, Jin Feng stretched for a while, and the game began.

What do you say about the Thunder this season? It should be moving forward under great pressure, after all, the aura of the Super Big Three makes people full of infinite reverie about this team, but at the same time, there is no doubt that it is not easy for the Big Three to cooperate with tacit understanding to achieve results.

Since the beginning of the new season, the performance of the Thunder has indeed confirmed people's reverie and worries before the game.

They can either win by a terrifying margin of wide margin, but they can also play a mess and lose to a team with a belly.

Therefore, this new Thunder team still needs to work on.

At the beginning of the game, facing the Spurs with the strongest lineup that could play (the Spurs played all the players in this game except for Murray and Leonard), the Thunder performed a little hard, and Kyle Anderson on the defensive end did a very good job, limiting Anthony to a certain extent.

For Melon, joining the Thunder this season, he is under too much pressure, everyone knows that he and the New York Knicks in the offseason were broken, although he Anthony is 33 years old, but he also urgently needs to prove himself again, he needs to prove himself again with one game at a time.

The same is true for this game, against the Spurs of the top team.

Not surprisingly, as the game progressed, he Cameron Anthony was still Cameron Anthony, and Kyle Anderson, who was responsible for defending him, although he was an incredible "wonderful" who could bring surprises from time to time, but he couldn't prevent Anthony after all, so Popovich decisively changed his defense, and Jin Feng defended Anthony, and in the face of Jin Feng, Anthony was really not so easy.

Anthony was a little difficult to attack under Jin Feng's defense, and the Spurs gradually established an advantage, until the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, the Spurs 21:16, leading the Thunder by 5 points, and Thunder head coach Donovan also called the first timeout.

The Thunder paused, and Popovich also began to make substitutions, he replaced Danny Green on the court and replaced Anderson, after all, it was definitely a bit difficult for Anderson to play against Paul George, not to mention anything else, the speed of light is not a grade.

Danny Green played, which meant that Jin Feng was in the small forward position.

Seeing Jin Feng completely pushed into the position of small forward, Yang Yi, who was commentating on CCTV in this game, said: "Jin Feng came to the position of small forward, obviously, Popovich wants him to take more responsibility in this game." ”

Su Qun also echoed on the side: "Yes, but seeing Jin Feng appear in this position, maybe the Spurs are ready to play a small lineup." ”

Yang Yi nodded: "It should be ready to play a small lineup, but if Popovich really plans to play a small ball lineup, he should make adjustments in the No. 4 position, such as replacing Gasol and replacing Rudy Gay."

Su Qun also nodded, on the court, the game has restarted, however, Popovich did not let Guy replace Gasol.

Jin Feng stood in front of Anthony and held Anthony with his long arms.

Anthony's threat on the offensive end is undeniable, and everyone knows that he is an "offensive kaleidoscope".

Therefore, Jin Feng defended very seriously, basically using all his strength to resist Anthony, and using various ways to make Anthony unable to free his hand to catch the ball.

In Donovan's tactics this season, the Thunder's offense is mainly done by Westbrook, even if Paul George and Anthony come this season, even if Donovan has said many times that he will make adjustments, but, in fact, whether the adjustment is made or not, he knows best in his heart, after all, Westbrook renewed his contract, and George and Anthony are only working on a short-term basis, and he Donovan still wants to continue to work as the head coach of the Thunder.

Willis swam the ball outside the three-point line for a moment, then suddenly accelerated past Parker, and finally hit a jumper before Gasol could make a defense.

Wei Shao's jumper helped the Thunder close the gap, and it was the Spurs' turn to attack.

Tony Parker possessed the ball past half court, and Jin Feng also continued to face Anthony and settled near the free throw line.

Tony Parker made an accelerated breakthrough, Jin Feng near the free throw line lifted up to send a pick-and-roll cover, and the French sports car that accelerated to the basket immediately attracted Anthony's attention, and he followed Parker into the interior line.

Jin Feng took advantage of this opportunity to run directly outside the three-point line.

In the next second, in Yang Yi's exclamation: "Ball! Tony Parker's share of the ball was given to Jin Feng! ”

Jin Feng received the basketball in one step inside the three-point line, and Paul George flew over to make up for the defense.

Jin Feng was about to throw, but George jumped directly and pounced.

Jin Feng stopped directly, then dribbled a few steps forward, shot a shot, and hit the basket cleanly.

"Good shot!" Yang Yi shouted, and those Jin Feng's fans also shouted this sentence at the same time, this ball Jin Feng played smartly, blocking and dismantling the cover to get rid of Anthony, and then a fake throw shook off the soaked feet, and dribbled two steps without hurrying, and after completely throwing off the pickled pepper that made up the defense, he easily threw in this 2 points.

With a 2-point shot, the difference was back to square one, but there was only a little more than a minute left in the first quarter, and Donovan naturally had no idea of adjusting again, he stood on the sidelines with his waist crossed, and made gestures to ask the team to speed up the pace of the offense in the last minute.

In the last minute, the Thunder picked up the pace of their offense, and Wei Shao rushed to the front court with the ball, controlled it on the outside for two or three seconds, and then handed the ball to Anthony, who bypassed Adams' pick-and-roll screen.

Anthony bypassed Adams' blocking and dismantling cover, and Jin Feng also followed Anthony, and the two came together.

Anthony leaned unhurriedly on Jin Feng's side, and then suddenly turned around and accelerated.

Jin Feng moved sideways and stuck to it, but he couldn't stop Anthony's breakthrough for a while, and directly wrapped himself tightly with Anthony. Anthony didn't break through fast either, just dribbled slightly and squeezed inside the three-point line.

Jin Feng is also not easy to block hard, in case he uses too much force, it may be a defensive foul. So after a few rushes, the two came to a forty-five-degree angle of seventeen feet, Jin Feng still stuck to Anthony, anyway, his speed had an advantage, and he was not afraid of Anthony accelerating, and he threw himself off in an instant.

However, at this time, Anthony dribbled for a long time, and the ball was a little stagnant, so Anthony suddenly raised the ball with both hands, and then took his right foot as the axis, jumped up, twisted in the air, and was facing the basket, raising his hand to throw!

Jin Feng quickly jumped up and pounced on to interfere

But in this ball, Anthony threw a backward with a slight amplitude, and the backward dodged Jin Feng's all-out block, and made a jump shot!

With a "bang", the basketball did not drill directly into the basket, but bounced off the rebound, then hit the neck of the basket and bounced into the basket.

The ball is in! Anthony waved his hand, Jin Feng was also a little helpless, in fact, Anthony's backfall was not so difficult to defend, but compared to Jin Feng, Anthony's body and strength advantage were shown, plus the back, directly dodged Jin Feng's interference.

"Carmelon Anthony's step-back shot narrowed the gap by two points again, and there was less than a minute left before the end of the game."

Su Qun looked at the time and said.

At this time, the Spurs' offense also began, and the Spurs were not in a hurry at all when they organized the attack at halftime.

After Donovan asked the Thunder to speed up the pace, even on the defensive end, the Thunder's players ran faster, they ran wildly on the defensive end, plugging holes everywhere, so that the Spurs' offense couldn't find any good opportunities for a while.

Popovich walked to the sidelines and shouted, "Pass! Keep coming! If you can't find a chance, you keep passing! ”

Because the Spurs were so often emphasized in the game, they also consciously began to look for opportunities with constant passing at this time.

However, this pass was almost 24 seconds later, and when the game time came to 22 seconds, Danny Green, who received the ball, was helpless, and made a mid-range shot on the spot, and under Robertson's defense, he hit the iron.

However, the moment the basketball shot, Danny Green knew that the ball was gone, so after the shot, he squeezed directly to the inside.

The basketball hit the basket and bounced out quickly, and several people on the inside began to scramble, at this time, Jin Feng suddenly jumped out from the side, like a tiger coming down the mountain, jumped high, and flew over everyone at once.

Anthony, who was still in the card position under him, looked at Jin Feng who jumped high in horror, his face full of incredulity.

"How did he jump so high?"

In the air, Jin Feng hugged the basketball, and then leaned towards the basket with his whole body.

"Buckle! Slam Dunk Champion Jin Feng! Su Qun shouted briefly.

With a loud bang, Jin Feng slammed into the basket, and the arena sounded like an explosion, and a cheer rang out.

Jin Feng is still hanging on the basket, like a god who has arrived in ancient times, just standing in the sky above everyone, accepting the cheers of the fans!

"Super Violent Buckle! Chinese Jin! He stunned everyone on the field! ”

Jin Feng still couldn't hang down, and Danny Green hurriedly shouted: "Jin, come down quickly, are you looking at the scenery up there?" ”

Jin Feng jumped down and subconsciously touched his nose, he also knew that if he hung up like this, the referee would blow it.

The thunder crowd was indeed a little stunned by Jin Feng, originally a group of people were fighting on the inside line and preparing to jump and grab rebounds, everything was so peaceful, but Jin Feng jumped out, broke the balance at once, and stood tall above everyone.

After a long time, the Thunder served in the backcourt, which was the Thunder's last attack of the first quarter.

Wei Shao quickly dribbled to the frontcourt, and there was actually plenty of time, and if the Thunder attack was fast enough, he might be able to force the Spurs to have two or three seconds left after the final attack.

So Wei Shao rushed to the front court, began to break through, an acceleration past Parker, Wei Shao's physical fitness was fully reflected at this moment, he frantically twisted his knee, changed direction, and passed Gasol, who was making up for the defense, and then after one step, he directly shot a throw.

With a bang, the sound of basketball crossing the net is very beautiful, and the Thunder narrows the gap again!

The Spurs' offense, with 30 seconds left, the Spurs began to stall for time, and Tony Parker dribbled on the outside for a while, until there were five seconds left in the offensive time, and an acceleration wanted to pass Wei Shao.

Wei Shao seemed to be very hard, and the whole person pounced hard, directly blocking Parker, who had to make a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and hit the edge of the basket with a bang.

Adams on the inside stuck in the position, this time he didn't give Jin Feng a chance, grabbed the rebound, there were less than 6 seconds left, Wei Shao ran wildly in the front court, Adams had to pass the ball quickly, but the pass in a hurry was passed, and the last attack that the Thunder painstakingly wanted to get finally failed directly.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led by 3 points at 25:22 to end the first quarter, and Jin Feng scored a total of 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

The 3-point lead was not big, or it didn't exist, so before the start of the second quarter, Popovich thought about it for a while, and then said: "Jin, Danny, you two continue to play, Jin, you continue to play the No. 3 position, Rudy plays, plays the No. 4 position, Tony plays point guard, and LaMarcus plays center." ”

…………

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides played, Rudy Gay appeared at the No. 4 position, and on the Thunder side, Wei Shao was replaced to rest, the point guard was Felton, the scoring guard was Paul George, Anthony continued to play, the position was small forward, and the interior combination was Grant and Adams.

Not long after Jin Feng stood on the field, Guy ran over and said, "The old man ordered, if Cameron Anthony continues to play, it is up to you to continue to defend." ”

Jin Feng nodded, and the first attack on the court was the ball of the Thunder, so Jin Feng quickly switched to Anthony.
