The once much-anticipated Texas Civil War ~ "Bull and Horse War", because of Tim Duncan's retirement and Nowitzki's absence due to injury, are a little overshadowed.
For the Spurs in the new season, Tim Duncan's retirement has indeed affected the strength of the Spurs, but it is not too big, and the team's record ranking will not lie, and the Spurs' current record ranks first in the West and also the first in the league.
And the Dallas Mavericks are a little miserable, Nowitzki's gradual aging, so that Cuban's "old devil" has a way to determine the team's new core.
In the offseason, Cuban brought Harris Barnes from the Golden State Warriors on a four-year, $94 million contract, hoping that he could become the team's new core and succeed the "Norwegian King".
However, in several preseason games, Barnes's performance almost made Cuban jump off the building, and Barnes was like a blacksmith, smashing the Dallas Mavericks' basket and smashing Cuban's heart.
Fortunately, after the start of the regular season, Barnes finally gradually returned to his normal level and played a performance commensurate with his value.
However, injuries have become the biggest trouble for the Mavericks, three of the five starters have been injured, Barnes is alone, and the Mavericks are losing more and more, and they are currently ranked first in the West, and similarly, they are also the bottom of the league.
It's embarrassing to think about the powerhouse that made it to the playoffs last season, and suddenly fall into such a situation!
…………
In the home game against the Mavericks, before the start of the game, the Spurs officially announced that Danny Green, who had been absent for more than 20 days due to injury, officially returned to the game, while Tony Parker was suspended due to a calf strain.
"Fans and friends, good morning everyone, I am the commentator Yang Yi, and next to me is Mr. Yu Jia, who everyone is familiar with, and is broadcasting the Spurs' home game against the Mavericks"
CCTV 5 broadcast the game again, although Spurs' opponent Mavericks are not in a good situation now, but because of the existence of Jin Feng, the Spurs' game has become the first choice for CCTV 5. Yang Yi and Yu Jia sat in the studio of CCTV 5 again, looked at the camera outside the screen, and began the commentary of the game.
"Today's game we broadcast is a Spurs vs. Mavericks, the Spurs' home game, and they're at home today, and the goal is to continue the winning streak, because they're playing against a team full of injuries, and the goal of this game is only to win." Yu Jia talked eloquently to the camera, and soon, the scene cut to the scene of the game, the Spurs and Mavericks were already making pre-game preparations, and the game was about to start.
"Let's first introduce the lineups of both sides in this game, on the Spurs' side, it is Patty Mills at point guard, Danny Green at scoring guard, Kowhi Leonard at small forward, Pau Gasol at power forward and Aldridge at center, Jin Feng failed to start this game, I don't know if he will come off the bench later."
"The lineup on the Mavericks' side is point guard Deron Williams, scoring guard Seth Curry, small forward Harris Barnes, big forward Dwight Powell and center Barria, in this lineup, there are only two main players, Barnes and Delon, which shows that the injury of this Mavericks is seriously affected."
Although Parker was also suspended due to injury in this game, it can be seen that the Spurs playing at home are significantly stronger than the Mavericks.
It is worth mentioning that this game, AT& amp; amp; The T Center Arena has become Jin Feng's home stadium a bit, and the sidelines are full of many Chinese wearing Spurs' No. 24 jerseys.
As the seventh largest city in the United States and the second largest city in Texas, San Antonio still has a lot of Chinese living here, and Jin Feng's recent performance is so good, which has made more and more Chinese fans come to San Antonio to watch this game.
"What's going on, what is Old Man Bobo doing? Why don't you let Jin Feng start, Zhang Tielin is the starter just after returning from injury, garbage arrangement, Jin Feng should be allowed to start"
"Change Jin Feng's starter, watch my brother Feng beat the calves in minutes"
…………
Many Chinese fans who came to the scene were a little dissatisfied with Popovich not letting Jin Feng continue to start in this game, and they yelled at Popovich on the Spurs bench.
However, Popovich was unmoved, and the game was already underway, with the Spurs stealing the ball and starting their first attack.
Pau Gasol responded in the high post, and the others began to run, and when Patty Mills went around and came back again, Pau Gasol passed the ball back, of course, the reason for the pass back was that Mills got an open opportunity to shoot, a long two-point shot, and successfully hit!
On the Spurs bench, the shouts for Jin Feng were a little quieter, and Ginobili said jokingly: "Jin, it's okay now, the old man estimates that this game won't let you play." ”
Jin Feng is also a little bitter, the old man is not a good stubble, the fans on the sidelines shouting like this may also have the opposite effect, maybe just like Ginobili said, he will not be able to play in this game.
On the court, the Spurs' offense was going well, after all, the Mavericks' strength was too poor.
However, the mutation was born in the sixth minute of the first quarter, the Mavericks' offensive round.
Deron Williams dribbled the ball to the front court and handed it to Seth Curry, who touched the ball for the first time in the game, and he took the ball to face Danny Green's defense.
A sudden sprint, Danny Green retreated to defend, but Seth Curry suddenly made another emergency stop, and shot directly outside the three-point line!
Danny Green couldn't block it, and the basketball flew into the hoop! It's in, and Seth Curry is in really good shape!
A minute later, Seth Curry came back and faced Danny Green, dribbling a few times outside the three-point line, Danny Green was indifferent, he just missed the last shot, and Danny Green was still very confident in defense.
But...... Seth Curry's hand was too hot, he was very confident, and he just shot a dry three-point shot, and Danny Green had tried his best to block the angle of the ball, but with a bang, the ball still went in......
Two three-pointers in a row! Seth Curry showed his excellent form!
As the younger brother of two-time league MVP Stephen Curry, Seth Curry's three-point shooting talent is also very good, and he has a tendency to become the next league sharpshooter.
Popovich's face darkened, and he walked around the sidelines.
The Spurs' offensive wave failed, and the Mavericks stuffed the ball directly to Seth Curry, and now they can also see that Seth Curry is in hot form.
Possession, stepping, retreat...... Another three-pointer! Seth Curry went crazy! Danny Green stretched out his hand to reach for the ball!
Swish! Still went in, and scored three three-pointers in a row! 9 points! Seth Curry clenched his fist and swung it hard! Spurs are 2 points behind!
"Jin, go on the court and replace Danny, just one point, give me a kill Seth Curry" Popovich finally couldn't bear it anymore, called a timeout, and replaced Jin Feng.
"That's right."
"Brother Feng should have been put on the field a long time ago"
When Jin Feng was substituted, he was immediately applauded by many Chinese fans!
And Jin Feng finally lived up to expectations, and after going up, Seth Curry was very uncomfortable, and the previous hot hand was sluggish, and he completed the task assigned to him by Popovich very well.
In the end, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 106-94 at home to continue their winning streak!
