On December 18, 2016, today will be the day the Pelicans will be retired.

Today's ATT Center arena is decorated with the number 21, and every seat in the stands is neatly covered with Duncan commemorative T-shirts as a gift to the fans who are here today, and for this meaningful day, the Spurs have prepared socks printed with the number 21 for all players...

The Spurs were all dressed neatly, their hands were together, they shouted slogans loudly, and rushed to the players' tunnel, when they rushed into the infield, Lei Shui looked up and saw that the entire ATT Center Arena was full, in Lei Shui's memory, the Spurs' arena had never had so many spectators.

Pelicans starters: center Akinsa, power forward Davis, small forward Moore, point guard Hield, point guard Holiday .

The Pelicans have suffered injuries for many years, and this year, through the operation, they traded Anderson and Gordon, two big salary households, and then dispersed the salaries, so that there are a lot more people in the team who can play, and it is a good way to avoid the impact of injuries on the team.

Spurs starters: center Gasol, power forward Ade, small forward Leonard, point guard Green, point guard Thunderwater.

Before going on the court, the old man Bobo confessed: "Tim is watching us, I don't want to hear Tim's ridicule after the game, and you don't want to, so win this game for me!" ”

At the beginning of the game, in terms of the inside line, today's Pelicans are dominant, first of all, the big forward position, the thick eyebrows have more offensive means than Ade, the movement speed is faster than Ade, and the physical condition is better, although the official height of the thick eyebrows is 208 cm, but that is the data when he first entered the league, and then he himself admitted that he has grown taller, it is said that he is already 211 cm, plus broad shoulders, and now standing with Ade, it looks one size bigger than Ade.

In the center position, the Pelicans replaced Asik with Akinsa, although both of them are slower moving centers, but Akinsa's height and arm span are better than Asik, and the defensive range is larger, as a defensive player, Akinsa has more advantages in defending Gasol.

However, in the remaining three positions, Spurs have the advantage.

Today's opposite to Thunder Water is Holiday and was also a player who was selected as an All-Star, but judging from the data in recent years, basically the upper limit is like this, with an average of 15+6 data per game, which is not outstanding, but it is also stable.

Thunder Water also did enough homework about Holiday before the game, Holiday is good at attacking the basket, but the shooting is inconsistent, the farther away from the basket, the less threatening, Thunder Water controlled Holiday from the beginning, trying to let him move outside the three-point line.

Lei Shui's advantage of height and arm length, coupled with targeted defense, made Holiday not shoot a shot in the first 5 minutes, but fortunately, the Pelicans have thick eyebrows and can attack the ball anytime and anywhere.

In the first quarter, the Thunder Water scored 6 points, 4 assists, and 1 rebound, while the opposing Holiday had 0 except for 2 assists.

The score in the first quarter was 28:26 for the Spurs and Pelicans, and the two sides were evenly matched, and the data could always expose the team's problems, and the assistant church came up with the best response through various analyses of various data.

Old man Bobo took advantage of the beginning of the second quarter, when the substitute was on the floor, and walked to the bench to arrange tasks for the main force: "In the first quarter, we had a slight advantage, but we lost rebounding, which shows that our shooting rate is higher than theirs, and improving rebounding is the main task now, now, LA and Paul pay attention to blocking people, Kewai and Ray shrink in to grab rebounds, especially Ray, Holiday can let him go..."

When it came to the main time, the scores of the two sides were still anxious, Lei Shui began to implement the tactics of the old man Bobo, one of the thick eyebrows missed, and Ade did not turn back, directly facing the thick eyebrows, not letting him go to the basket to grab the board, Gasol also blocked Akinsa behind him, Lei Shui hurried to the blue when the thick eyebrows shot, and the rebounding opportunity blocked by the twin towers was very comfortable, and the opportunity was the same as picking up the ball, so he got the rebound in his hand.

After getting the ball, there was one less pass, Lei Shui took the ball directly, and the two teams' interior lines were stuck with each other, so that they were left behind by Lei Shui, 3 to 3 in the front court, Green and Leonard were the fastest, Green opened up space in the bottom corner, Leonard cut the middle, how could Lei Shui give up such a good opportunity and quickly pass to Leonard, Leonard hit a layup directly against Moore.

After the Spurs changed the way they grabbed rebounds, they accelerated the pace of attack, mainly because Thunder Water could advance quickly after grabbing rebounds, and when the Pelicans didn't have time to run back to protect the frame, the Spurs completed the offense, Leonard, Green, and Thunder Water were all above 2 meters, and the three people in the Pelicans opposite each other were in their early 190 centimeters, and it was difficult to prevent the impact of the three.

Gradually, the Spurs began to exceed the score, and at the same time, Lei Shui's rebounds and assists began to soar in a short period of time, and in just 4 minutes on the court, Lei Shui has 10 points, 9 assists, and 8 rebounds.

The Pelicans, who realized the problem, began to give up the scramble for the frontcourt board in order to retreat as soon as possible.

Playing with the Pelicans, it is best not to get too close to the basket, Leonard suffered a loss, a chance to run out, Lei Shui immediately hit the ground and passed, Leonard thought that he could score directly on Moore's head by virtue of his height, which Cheng thought, as soon as the ball was shot, he was fanned out by a big hat from behind by thick eyebrows.

After the pace slowed down again, although Thunderwater's data did not rise as fast as before, at the end of the half, he also scored 15 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, and broke through a triple-double.

The Spurs relied on the advantage from the outside to end the first half with a 12-point lead.

At the beginning of the second half, Holiday who was defended by Lei Shui in the entire first half of 5 in 0 suddenly made a single block to cover three points and chased the difference to within 10 points.

Immediately afterwards, a pressing by Holiday caused a mistake by Thunder Water, and was beaten into a fast attack by Holiday again.

Holiday scored 5 points in a row, which made the old man Bobo very dissatisfied, and shouted a few words to Lei Shui, who also knew that he was careless, so he quickly concentrated.

Unexpectedly, Holiday was endless, and continued to strengthen the pressing, although he didn't grab it again, but it was really a little annoying.

When the Pelicans attacked, Lei Shui suddenly strengthened his defense against Holiday and Lei Shui waved his hands, just like during training, Holiday had the ball wherever Thunder Water's hand covered, and this kind of oppressive defense once made it difficult for Holiday to pass the ball.

Once the team's point guard can't control the pace of his game, the offensive efficiency will drop, and the Spurs will once again stretch the score to 12 points.

Holiday was a little anxious, he would make mistakes when he was in a hurry, and he accelerated the speed of the ball, but it also increased his mistakes, and he was broken by Lei Shui 4 times in the first half of the quarter, directly sending the Spurs 8 points, and the difference was stretched to 20 points.
