Soon it was time for the preseason, Parker and Ginobili, Leonard, and Aldridge were naturally forced to rotate, and this kind of innocuous game was best used to train young people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a rookie selected this year, He Dong is a new rookie to the Spurs, along with Dejounte Murray and Bryn Forbes.

In this preseason, all three were able to get some playing time.

"Today is the first game of your game, I will give each of you 10 minutes to play, and you have to listen to me as to when you play."

The trio were sitting on the bench watching the game intently, and before the game, Popovich told the trio that they would be given some time.

None of the three have yet to gain Popovich's trust on the court, although they are very chatty off the court, but on the court, they have to show their strength to prove that they are worthy of the playing time given by the latter.

It's a must for the team and for the spectators.

In the professional league, everything is not a game, as long as you get a salary, then you have to have a professional attitude.

Today's Spurs started the inside line is David Lee and Pau Gasol, the two of them were recruited by the Spurs this summer, for David Lee, He Dong doesn't know much, but vaguely remembers that he once achieved a 0.1 second air pick-up kill, and for Pau Gasol, He Dong is naturally very familiar.

Pau Gasol, affectionately called "sister-in-law" by Chinese fans, Kobe Bryant lacked helpers around him back then, and he struggled in the playoffs until the Lakers got his sister-in-law to the Lakers, with his excellent basketball skills and awareness, and Kobe Bryant formed an excellent inside and outside cooperation, and with the presence of Odom, the two once again led the Lakers to the top of the league and created the Lakers dynasty again.

It's a pity that Kobe Bryant is now retired, and his sister-in-law is also quite old, so she lives up to the courage of the year.

The Spurs are known as the "retirement home", and David Lee and his sister-in-law also came to the Spurs at the end of their careers to play their spare time.

It's a pity that after Duncan's retirement, the Spurs' interior defense is worried, whether it is David Lee, sister-in-law, or Aldridge are not players known for their defense.

The Spurs also have a new summer arrival, Dwyane Diamond, this guy looks okay physically, he has worked hard in the league for a few years, in order to have a place in the league, he plays very hard, but his skills are rough, and he needs to continue to improve.

The other three on the court are Kyle Anderson and Jonathan Simmons and Danny Green.

Anderson was nicknamed "Human Creep Essence" and "Sledgehammer" by fans, and Green was nicknamed "Iron Forest" by fans because he struck iron from time to time.

And Simmons, he is an older rookie, before joining the Spurs, he planned to become a barber, perhaps because he brought the Spurs' "basketball is just a side hustle" attribute, and was pulled to the Spurs by Popovich.

The five players on the court played a quarter and a half, and when it came to regular rotation time, Popovich waved his hand and let Mills take Diamond, Bertans and Murray on the court to replace all four except Tielin.

Tielin needs to play a dozen more on the court to help him maintain his three-point ability.

He Dong didn't get a chance, and now, except for him and Forbes, the rest of the people have got the opportunity to play.

Forbes's name sounds very powerful, and He Dong couldn't help jokingly asking the former if the Forbes list in the United States was made by his family, and when he got He Dong to the first place to play.

Until the end of halftime, Popovich had no intention of letting He Dong play, sitting on the bench and looking at the old man standing near the commentary table, He Dong believed that he should be able to prove himself at the Spurs.

At halftime, everyone joked in the locker room, teasing that teammates who did not play should ask everyone to buy drinks, which is also a disguised way of spurring, and the Spurs locker room atmosphere is indeed good.

Halfway through the third quarter, Green was also substituted, and the assistant coach on the side patted Forbes on the shoulder and motioned for him to play, and it seemed that Popovich had already made arrangements.

When he took off his coat and went on the field, Forbes also turned around and clapped his hands with He Dong, reassuring the latter not to worry, the old man would let him play.

Seeing that everyone except himself was on the field, He Dong also felt a little unable to sit still, but the old man hadn't spoken yet, and he could only wait patiently.

Seeing his teammates wiping their sweat with towels after the break, He Dong had envy in his eyes, only players who can play will have a time when they need to wipe their sweat.

The towel in the hand of a water cooler caretaker was just for waving.

Next to He Dong was a water dispenser, and when he suddenly discovered this situation, He Dong had an anxious feeling rising in his heart, and his legs began to shake nervously.

Is he really a water cooler manager?

He Dong's anxious state of mind made him start to think crankily.

As time passed, He Dong was still watching the game on the field with great interest at first, feeling that he was watching the game in the nearest seat of the stadium, this kind of treatment was really unattainable, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

But after watching for a long time, you will get tired, especially if you are still anxious.

He Dong now only thinks about being able to play early, and the cheers of the audience on the sidelines seem to be covered by the anxiety in his heart.

At the end of the third quarter, during the break, Popovich finally walked up to He Dong and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

He Dong, who couldn't wait for a long time, nodded heavily and said loudly: "Always ready." ”

He Dong's voice was quite loud when he said this, and his loud voice immediately attracted the sideways attention of the teaching assistants and the audience on the side.

Popovich nodded in satisfaction, and then waved his hand: "You wait to come on the court and replace Danny." ”

Tie Lin performed well on the court, shooting 6 of 10 three-pointers, but after playing three quarters in a row, he was also a little tired.

With the score 80-65, the Spurs had a 15-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Sitting on the bench all the time, He Dong didn't sweat, and finally got the opportunity to play at this moment, immediately took off his coat, and after confirming that the knee pads and ankle pads were worn, He Dong came to the technical table and waited for the game.

He Dong's number is No. 56, because there are 56 nationalities in China, and he knows that when he stands on the NBA court, what he represents is no longer him, and what he carries on his shoulders is the future of basketball in the entire country.

In the third quarter, there was an offensive and defensive round, and Popovich immediately called a timeout, and after a brief casual remark, he waved his hand and let He Dong play.

"Next, let's welcome a rookie from Huaguo, his name is He Dong!"

The DJ on the scene was very face-saving, in addition to shouting He Dong's name loudly before the players entered, now He Dong deliberately introduced it to the audience again when he came on the field.
