Although the score was still tight, it was a joy in the Spurs' locker room, and Mills was discussing tactics with his teammates: "If we can't pull the score away in the third quarter, why don't we take advantage of Cousins?" ”

Ginobili said: "No, it's just preseason, there's no need to mess with that guy." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Popovich's eyes flashed at this time and he said slowly: "Ray, I will still let you play in the third quarter." ”

Lei Shui didn't expect Bobo to think so highly of himself: "Ah! It's true? ”

Popovich began to feed the chicken soup with a serious face, and said: "You are very critical now, and you have an important strategic role. ”

Lei Shui didn't know what strategic role he could have, a rookie who had just joined the team: "Ah? What strategic role? ”

At this time, everyone was attracted by Bobo's words, and Bobo continued: "In this way, your main task in the third quarter is to help defend Cousins, I see, you are in good height and movement, you are the most suitable for this job, no matter what, do it well, use any way you can think of to stop him!" ”

After hearing this, the rest of the Spurs players nodded, and a few others were already laughing, Mills whispered to Ginobili: "The show has begun, old man Bobo is going to feed a bomb to rookie Ray." ”

Ginobili nodded: "I hope Ray has good luck." ”

……

At the beginning of the third quarter, Cousins seemed to be in a good mood, hitting both three-pointers and two mid-range shots to overtake the score, while the Spurs only scored one point from the free throw.

At this moment, Popovich got up and stood on the sidelines and shouted at Thunder Water: "Thunder! Remember your mission!? ”

Lei Shui nodded, and immediately put into defense, Cousins asked for the ball on the inside and singled Ade, and his strong body arched into the three-second zone and leaned on Ade to start a layup, Lei Shui hurriedly stepped forward at this time, pulled his arm and cut the ball out of Cousins' arms, and the referee blew Thunder Water foul and gave two free throws.

Although Cousins got two free throws, he was still quite unhappy with Lei Shui's defense, staring at Lei Shui up and down with a twisted brow, his eyes full of murder.

Two free throws and one hit, the Spurs won the rebound, but the offense still missed, Cousins began to take the ball with his back again, this time Thunder Water approached Cousins in advance, and waited for Cousins to dribble, immediately to interfere, Cousins thought that now that he had a smooth hand, he was going to attack strongly, while resisting Ade, while avoiding the interference of Thunder Water, he accidentally dribbled the ball to his lap in three or two strokes, and was broken by Thunder Water, and Leonard dunked directly with a long pass.

At this time, Jogger knew that Cousins must be unhappy, and immediately called a timeout to appease, but Cousins didn't go back to the bench with everyone at all, but bent down near the bottom line to argue with the referee about something, and the other teammates were standing on the bench waiting for Cousins, no one dared to call him back, even Joggle could only helplessly wait for Cousins to come back after he finished speaking, and finally Guy couldn't stand it and went up to drag Cousins back to the bench.

Popovich said: "It's not too early, you have to attack, since you can't open it inside and outside here, let's make a substitution." ”

Leave Thunderwater and Leonard behind, and all the others are replaced by substitutes.

After the timeout, Guy took over the offensive task, but under Leonard's defense, the shooting rate was relatively dismal, and Ginobili came up and hit a three-pointer, plus a serpentine break, and a few times tied the score.

At this time, Cousins was very impatient, and after taking an offensive rebound, he pushed David hard? Lee, it was originally a chance to let go of the blue, but Lei Shui hadn't forgotten his mission, and flew up from behind and directly gave Cousins a pegboard hat.

When the Spurs got the ball, they naturally had to counterattack quickly, and Lei Shui was about to go down quickly after covering the hat, but as soon as he stepped out of his leg, he was stumbled by Cousins, and at the same time as the referee blew the whistle, Lei Shui looked back and saw that Cousins was looking at himself with an unhappy face, and his mouth sprayed: "FXXK!" You yellow-skinned rookie, where did you come from, you just hit me in the head, you know! ”

Lei Shui was baffled by Cousins, and just as he was about to speak, Ginobili ran back and pulled up Lei Shui and left: "Don't talk to him, go quickly!" ”

Behind the scenes, Cousins is still saying, "Aren't you going to say something!?" That's the default!? You know that block is a foul! You should be honest, especially in front of the owls dozing off with a whistle in their mouths (owls like to sleep with one eye open and one eye closed. ）！ ”

The referee on the bottom line obviously heard Cousins's words, which were obviously sarcastic for turning a blind eye to the penalty, immediately blowing the whistle, and reaching out to Cousins to give a T, Cousins was even more upset this time: "Oh, it's okay now, it looks like I've woken you up!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Guy immediately stepped forward to pull Cousins away and motioned to the referee not to be like him: "Wow, he's still a kid, he's still a kid!" ”

Ginobili made a technical free throw, and at this time, Popovich said to Lei Shui on the sidelines: "Ray, good job, continue to defend like this!" Lei Shui nodded.

At this point, the Kings' players finally calmed Cousins down and continued to play the game.

Mills made a shot, the Spurs rose again, the Kings were afraid that Cousins would lose his temper again, so he started from the outside, Lawson had no chance to shoot under the entanglement of Ginobili, and handed the ball to Guy again, Guy wanted to get rid of Leonard's defense It was not easy, and he couldn't break through, and when he saw that he didn't have a chance, he immediately threw it back to Lawson, Lawson took the ball and saw that the offensive time was running out, and his heart said, Guy, you kid is throwing the pot, I have a non-guaranteed contract, how can I take this pot, I have to throw it out again.

Who to throw it to, Lawson glanced at it, only Cousins was still staring at him stunned, just you, immediately threw the ball to Cousins, and reminded by the way: "There is no time!" ”

Cousins was anxious for a while, hurriedly turned over and leaned back, at this time, Lei Shui, who had been staring at it for a long time, once again killed from behind, Cousins knew that something was wrong when he saw a shadow on his head, although he forcibly dodged left and right in the air, but he still couldn't get rid of the fate of being capped, Lei Shui fanned the ball out of the bottom line, and Cousins also lost his balance and fell to the ground due to the dodge action.

This time, Lei Shui and Cousins had no physical contact at all, so Cousins could only slam the floor to vent his emotions when he sat on the ground, Lei Shui stood next to him and looked at Cousins with a tangled face, and kindly reached out to pull it, but was slapped off by Cousins: "Get out!" What are you doing with a fake job!? Cover me with a hat, aren't you cool!? ”

Lei Shui was also helpless: "Hey, I said, you..."

"That's right! That cap is cool to look at! Dedmon added fuel to the fire.

Cousins immediately widened his eyes angrily when he heard this, and a referee saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly stepped forward to separate Cousins from Lei Shui and Dedmon, and Guy also came over and patted Lei Shui's chest: "It's okay, it's okay, he's like that!" ”

Mills and Ginobili came over to high-five Thunderwater, and Ginobili patted Thunderwater's ass and said, "Successful defense, rookie!" ”

At this time, the referee gave Cousins a verbal warning, and the game continued, but with a few tenths of a second of offensive time, the Kings naturally failed to complete the offense and violated the overtime violation.

Popovich also took the opportunity to replace Thunderwater off the field.
