During the pause, Popovich continued to rotate the lineup, replacing Thunder Water with Ginobili, who played for more than half a quarter, and Popovich didn't say a word about Thunder Water's performance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sitting on the bench, Lei Shui was very apprehensive, not knowing what Old Man Popovich thought of his performance.

Mills on the side seemed to see Lei Shui's thoughts, and said to Lei Shui from a person: "Hey! Rookie, don't worry, Bobo is quite satisfied with you. ”

Lei Shui turned back to Mills and said, "How do you know? ”

Mills said, "Oh~ please, you don't expect him to compliment you twice, do you?" If he doesn't scold you, it will be a compliment to you, after all, you scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist in the first half of the quarter, which is quite good for a rookie. ”

Lei Shui listened to Mills's words, breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally had a little bottom in his heart, and there was still hope.

On the court, Curry suddenly became powerful, scored 5 points in a row, and then led a wave of offense, narrowing the gap to 5 points before halftime, and the Spurs 51-46 Warriors.

Obviously, with the Warriors' offensive ability, this score is a bit low, but it will definitely improve with their adjustments.

In the Spurs' locker room, Popovich was unhappy with the outside defense in the second half of the second quarter, and treated Ginobili and Parker well, and then determined that the offensive focus of the third quarter was Leonard.

Popovich said a lot at Leonard, Leonard has always been an expressionless face, at most he nodded, and he didn't speak, compared to Duncan, who had just retired, Leonard was as good as he was, Duncan's stay was not flattered, but it was not bad at communication, Leonard was introverted and not good at expression.

After halftime, the Warriors returned to the Warriors with an upgraded version of the Death Five: Green, Durant, Iguodala, Thompson and Curry, continuing to shoot high from the field.

I have to admit that the Warriors' lineup is very difficult to deal with, Durant alone, it is very difficult to defend alone, plus these five people can break through and shoot three-pointers, the Spurs' interior line does not prevent three-point shooting you, and the defense comes out directly to the inside line to make a layup or a ball.

In the third quarter, the Spurs' start was very difficult, although Aldridge has a height advantage, but when he encounters Green's hard-hitting defense, it is also very twisted, once the shot is missed, with the fast attack speed of the Warriors' five people, the Spurs' two interior lines really can't keep up.

In only 3 minutes, the Warriors overtook the score, Popovich asked for a timeout, this time he did not get angry, because he expected to encounter such a matchup, which tested the Warriors' firepower, and it was really fierce, so to make adjustments in personnel, it was necessary to rotate fast enough, and the defense could be on top.

Replacing Ginobili and Gasol with Simmons and David Lee to improve defensive mobility is effective but unlikely to completely contain the Warriors.

But fortunately, Leonard shouldered the heavy responsibility of offense, several times with his back to the middle distance, holding the score, at this time the Warriors' outside Thompson suddenly found his touch, twice used the cover to shoot three-pointers, Popovich couldn't sit still again, at this time looked at Thunder Water, hesitated, and at this moment, the Warriors made another counterattack.

Popovich was a little thunderous: "Ray, you're ready to play, the mission is to limit Thompson." ”

Lei Shui stood on the sidelines, waiting for the chance of a dead ball, at this time in China's Penguin live broadcast, Ke Fan said: "Popovich is going to change to Lei Shui, it seems that it is necessary to strengthen the defense." ”

Su Qun said: "Now is the time to scout the players, if it has an effect against the Warriors, it will stay in the team, after all, the possibility of the two teams meeting in the playoffs is very high, so every minute of playing time for Lei Shui is precious, which is related to whether he can stay in the team." ”

Taking advantage of the dead-ball opportunity, Thunderwater came on the court again and replaced Simmons, and by this time, the Warriors had a six-point lead.

Lei Shui knew that he was not familiar with the Spurs' offensive system now, and the main task was to defend, and the Warriors saw that Thunder Water came up again, and took the initiative to make the ball for Thompson, wanting to bully the rookie.

Green covered Thompson, Thompson broke through with the ball, and if he shot, he would shoot, but Thompson had to break through, Lei Shui moved quickly, immediately found his defensive position, and stuck to Thompson on one side, Thompson rushed to the basket, and after starting, he found that Lei Shui was close to him and was not out of position, and the referee did not blow the whistle, and immediately distributed the ball to the outside, and Iguodala missed three points.

The Spurs got the rebound, and Parker took the opportunity to break through the inside and spin the top for a layup.

Since the Thunder Water played, Thompson's three attacks ended with passing, and the Warriors did not shoot the ball, although the Spurs did not have a high shooting rate, but fortunately, they had an advantage on the inside, using the advantage of the inside, David Lee first pointed out the frontcourt board to Leonard to shoot three points, Aldridge also came to make a rebound, overtaking the score.

This time it was the Warriors' turn to take a timeout, and Popovich saw the Warriors' weak interior line, and decisively replaced David Lee with 213 cm big center Dedmon to increase the interior advantage.

After the timeout, the Warriors replaced Iguodala with Pachulia to strengthen the rebounding protection, and Durant hit a shot first and then stepped back to overtake the score.

Parker dribbled at the top of the arc, a finger of thunder water signaled to cover, Parker used the cover of thunder water to kill the basket, met the defense and passed to Aldridge who retreated to the bottom corner three-point line, Aldridge missed the three-point shot in the unguarded three-point shot, Thunder Water quickly bypassed the card position at this time, rushed to the basket, Pachulia occupied the rebounding position, Lei Shui jumped high behind his back and reached out, the basketball touched the rebound and then rebounded back, Pachulia realized that someone was grabbing the rebound with him, and struggled to jump up to grab the ball, but Lei Shui's continuous bounce ability is stronger than Pachuria, Jumping up a little more, the ball fell to the other side, and at this time, Dedmon on the other side was much taller than Green, and took the ball and put it directly into the basket.

In the retreat, Dedmon stretched out his hand to Lei Shui: "Good robbery!" Rookie! ”

Lei Shui and Dedmon didn't say a word after high-fives, clenched their fists and immediately threw themselves into defense, because they had no capital to make mistakes, and they had to tense their nerves every second.

Dedmon had a delusion, thinking: This guy... Don't speak, won't be the same as Leonard...

At this time, Thompson ran back to catch the ball, Lei Shui followed tightly, Thompson shook a little, moved sideways and shot three points, but failed to shoot under Lei Shui's desperate interference.

Dedmon grabbed the rebound, Parker made a quick push and passed to Leonard to roll over and hit a mid-range shot.

Thompson received the ball several times, but failed to completely shake off the thunder water, and finally could only hand the ball to Curry, Curry forced a three-point miss, Leonard took the rebound and quickly counterattacked, and missed the long-distance two-point shot, Green grabbed the rebound, turned around and looked for someone to play a quick counterattack, but only saw the black No. 37 thunder water.

Lei Shui's raised arm interfered with a pass, destroying a counterattack opportunity, Green was very unhappy, he advanced with the ball, Lei Shui knew that he had to continue to interfere, otherwise once the ball was passed out comfortably, there must be a dislocation in the front court, Green was a violent temper, the team couldn't open plus Lei Shui's defense, so he was a little grumpy, in order to get rid of Lei Shui, his arm raised to Lei Shui's chest, because it was moving sideways, this time directly pushed Lei Shui to the ground, the referee accurately caught Green's elbow action and awarded an offensive foul.

Dedmon and Parker immediately stepped forward to pull Lei Shui up, and Dadmon slapped Lei Shui's ass: "Good job!" Rookie! ”
