AT&T Center, the Spurs game is about to start, because the time of today's game is about half an hour earlier than usual, so the game is about to start, and the fans are still coming one after another. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Behind the courtside recording desk, because the Spurs vs. Nuggets game was not broadcast live in the United States, the on-site commentator was still Bill Rand and partner Sean Elliott, and at this time, the two were commenting on the starting lineup that had just been played on the big screen.

"Let's look at the starting lineup from Greg Popovich, Thiago Split, Burris Dior, Lee Yang, Danny Green, Tony Parker. ”

After reading these names, Bill Rand said to Sean Elliott on the side: "Sean, when Manu was injured and couldn't play, Greg actually chose to take Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard off in rotation. ”

"It's not surprising, I'm surprised that Tony Parker is out and I thought Greg was going to rest him as well. ”

When Sean Elliott answered, both of them burst out laughing.

Facing the Nuggets, who are third in the West, the Spurs even chose to take turns to rest Duncan and Leonard in the case of Ginobili's injury, and the two commentators naturally wanted to ridicule it.

Of course, everyone knows that Popovich is preparing for the playoffs.

After laughing, Sean Elliteo said, "Okay, Bill, let's talk about something that really surprises, Young, and he appears in the starting names. ”

"Yes, Young played well in the first two games after signing the contract, but he rarely got a chance to play after that. According to the information we have received, the Spurs coaching staff has arranged targeted training for Young during this period, and the young player started in place of Kawhi today, perhaps this training is over?"

Bill Rand took over the topic of Sean Elliott and said that as Spurs commentators, they are naturally more well-informed than the average person.

"Perhaps, or maybe it's because of the team's extensive rotation, knowing that Corey Joseph and Nando De Colo are also recalled from the Development League. ”

"Well, whatever the reason, we want to see Li Yang do well in this match. ”

While the two commentators were talking, the starters of both teams had also come to the court, the Spurs side Li Yang and Dio started in place of Leonard and Duncan, the starting lineup center on the Nuggets side was Costa Koufors, the big forward nicknamed the Half-Orcs just won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge this season, small forward Wilson Chandler, scoring guard Andre Iguodala, and point guard Andre Miller.

This is also not the regular starting lineup for the Nuggets, who also suffered injuries during this period, with the team's starting point guard Ty Lawson and small forward Danilo Gallinari both being injured and unable to play, which is certainly one of the reasons why Popovich chose to rotate both Duncan and Leonard in this game.

The Nuggets have not had a superstar on their roster since Carmelo Anthony was traded, but the instant power gained through the trade of Anthony, coupled with the trade of Andre Iguodala, who was originally in the 76ers, is still good this season.

But even so, the Nuggets were able to achieve the third record in the West, which is really a bit unexpected, after all, the Nuggets roster is now not even up to the star player level except for Iguodala and Lawson. And it's in the competitive West.

Now, the Spurs need to play against this team.

The Spurs vs Nuggets, whether in China or the United States, this game is not very concerned, because the game near the end of the season is not the focus of the game, nor will it involve the regular season qualifying, fans on the American side are more concerned about those games that will affect the playoff rankings, especially in this game The Spurs are still missing Duncan, Ginobili, Leonard three big players, and the Nuggets' lineup is not complete.

The same is true in China, where Li Yang performed very well in two games when he first signed, which also attracted a lot of attention, and incidentally also paid attention to Spurs.

But I didn't expect that Li Yang rarely had the opportunity to appear in the next game, and gradually fans paid little attention, so at this time, the only ones who would pay attention to the Spurs game were those die-hard fans of the original Spurs, or those who have been paying attention to Li Yang.

For example, Lin Xiaobai, he was watching this game through live video, but this game was not broadcast in China, and he could only watch live broadcasts abroad.

"Damn, the Spurs game is so unpopular. While opening the live webpage video broadcast with some cards on the screen, Lin Xiaobai scolded, but soon his scolding stopped, at this time, the starters of both sides on the screen were walking on the field, and he saw Li Yang at first sight.

"Li Yang! Li Yang started today?" Lin Xiaobai shouted almost immediately.

When Li Yang had an outstanding performance just after signing the contract, Lin Xiaobai thought that Li Yang should quickly gain a foothold in the Spurs next, after all, Li Yang performed well in the ten-day short contract, and he also performed well in the two games after signing the official contract, and was also arranged to start by Popovich in one game.

In Lin Xiaobai's view, this most likely means that Li Yang has been trusted by Popovich's coaching staff, but what he didn't expect was that Li Yang didn't even have the opportunity to play afterwards.

The news that the Spurs conducted targeted training for Li Yang was not announced to the public, and Li Yang was not a famous player, so there was almost no media coverage of this incident at home and abroad.

When he saw that Li Yang couldn't get the chance to play, Lin Xiaobai once secretly scolded Popovich, thinking that Popovich hid Li Yangxue, if he thought that Li Yang's strength was not enough, it would be better to let Li Yang go to the development league to exercise, it would be better than sitting on the bench in the Spurs but not being able to play.

And after scolding for a while, Lin Xiaobai stopped scolding, mainly because Li Yang had disappeared for a long time, and in nearly forty days, he only played four games, and the game time was still a few minutes.

Even Lin Xiaobai, the first person to discover Li Yang, almost lost patience, thinking that Li Yang really would not have any opportunities to play this season, so he had to wait for next season.

But what Lin Xiaobai didn't expect was that Li Yang would start again today!

Although he didn't know what was going on in the middle, this did not prevent Lin Xiaobai from being happy for Li Yang, so after shouting excitedly, he immediately posted on the Internet, and then began to publish the news in the domestic text live broadcast room and the fan group that usually chats.

Other fans who began to pay attention to Li Yang at the earliest, like Lin Xiaobai, also got the news through various channels, and soon, the news spread among Spurs fans in a small area.

Although this kind of spread is not widespread, many fans who really pay attention to Li Yang and Spurs have already gotten the news at this time, which also leads to the gradual increase of fans in the chat room of the domestic text live broadcast, and there are also a lot of topics around Li Yang.

At this time, the game at the Spurs' home stadium also officially began, Split and Nuggets center Coolfos jumped the ball, and Split won the first offensive right for the Spurs.
