Since April, Li Yang's performance has attracted the attention of Chinese fans, and his image of black hair, black eyes and yellow skin has allowed him to attract many Chinese fans even if he has a good performance in the low-key Spurs.

In this game, CCTV5 did not broadcast the live broadcast of other games because it was set early, but it was broadcast on the Internet, Li Yang played, and the two commentators of Sina said it as soon as possible.

In order to ensure the status of the players in the playoffs, Popovich really did not arrange a rotation of players in this game, except for the injured Ginobili and Dio, the rest of the Spurs players have all entered the activation list.

However, although no rotation of players was arranged, Popovich still controlled the use of the main players very well, no, the third quarter of the game only played about half a quarter, and Duncan, Leonard, and Parker were already out of the game.

The Spurs are obviously playing this game, and the Thunder have already won the Bucks in the previous game, which means that even if this game is won, the rankings of the two sides will not change again, so at this time, controlling the players not to get injured is the main thing.

The Kings at the other end of the spectrum were the complete opposite, the young man had missed the playoffs, and this was their last game of the season, and although not at home, they clearly wanted to end the season with a win, so they played with a lot of energy on the night.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a gap in the strength of the two teams, the Kings' players would still be too young after all, and it would be hard to say whether the Spurs would be able to take the lead now.

The Spurs' lineup on the court at this time is Split, Li Yang, Green, Jackson, Joseph, and there are only two starters.

On the other side, the Kings are still all starters at this time, with center DeMarcus Cousins, power forward Jason Thompson, small forward John Salmons, scoring guard Tyrek Evans, and point guard Isaiah Thomas.

In this lineup, DeMarcus Cousins and Tyrek Evans are the core, Cousins is a very powerful interior player, with excellent physical fitness and very good skills, but the brain is not particularly good, in one word, it is a bit "two", whether on the court or off the court, the restraint of emotions is extremely bad.

And Tyrek Evans is also famous, he was the best rookie in the 09-10 season, and he was able to get 20.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists in his rookie year, and he is another player who can get 20+5+5 in his rookie year after Jordan and James.

It's a pity that this is also the best data he has ever gotten, and in the next few games, because of his own injuries, team management chaos, and the distribution of the ball, Evans's data is getting worse and worse.

Just now, Evans missed the next shot on Danny Green's defense, and now, the ball is in the hands of the Spurs again.

The Spurs' side of the ball is Joseph, who also got a lot of playing opportunities in April, partly because Parker often rotates, and partly because he is more pure as a point guard than Mills, the team's other backup point guard.

Mills' offense is very good, the three-point is very accurate, but in terms of organizing the offense, Joseph is more steady, if Ginobili is not injured and can organize the offense on the court, Popovich is more accustomed to putting Mills on point guard and is more offensive, but in the case of Ginobili is not available, Joseph is more suitable for holding the ball.

Joseph had the ball in possession to the halfcourt, and after Jackson and Green ran and couldn't find a shot, he quickly passed the ball to Li Yang.

Li Yang took the ball, because the Spurs had just adjusted the lineup, and the king had not made targeted adjustments, so at this time it was the king's big forward Jason Thompson who defended him.

There was almost no feint, and Li Yang directly left Thompson behind just by the speed of activation.

Li Yang rushed into the inside, Cousins immediately moved his feet to step forward to make up for the defense, Li Yang seized the opportunity to stuff the ball directly to Split under the basket, and assisted the latter to dunk easily.

Recently, the Spurs' high-intensity training for individuals has been reduced, including Li Yang, and the training in terms of technique and tactics is very intensive.

In this kind of training, the Spurs' coaching staff also began to consciously cultivate Li Yang's passing awareness and skills, although the time is not too long, but Li Yang's comprehension ability is very fast, plus there is a familiar foundation in the team for a period of time, so this ability has also improved a lot.

This is also the reason why Joseph did not choose to break through the attack by himself just now, but handed the ball to Li Yang to deal with.

The Kings attacked, Evans got the ball again, Cousins mentioned a high pick-and-roll, and Evans immediately dribbled to the inside.

Li Yang, who was defending Thompson under the basket, saw it and immediately moved his feet to prepare to defend, but Green and Split's defense was relatively good, and Evans' breakthrough opportunity was not too good, and the ball quickly passed out of Evans' hands and fell into the hands of Cousins.

Cousins, who got the ball, chose to go to the basket at this time because Split didn't post the defense in time or there was only one player on the inside, Li Yang, and after getting the ball, he glanced at the basket, and he shot directly at the high post.

That's a problem for Cousins, who admittedly has a decent shot and a good range, but there are times when he believes he's shooting from mid-to-long range.

This kind of shooting rate naturally can't be compared with the inside, and the closer you get to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage, which is still right after all.

No, although Cousins, who shot in a high position, did not encounter defensive pressure, the ball still failed to hit, and the ball bounced out of the basket and was directly taken down by Li Yang under the basket.

did not pass the ball to Joseph, Li Yang took the ball directly through the half, came to the three-point line, and found that it was still Thompson who was defending himself, Li Yang naturally would not be polite, and it was a sudden start, Li Yang easily broke through Thompson's defense.

Looking at Li Yang who rushed into the inside line, Cousins hesitated slightly, before he made up for Li Yang and left Split out to score, and at this time he stepped forward to make up for Li Yang, he was really worried that the previous scene would be repeated.

Just when Cousins hesitated slightly, Li Yang, who seized the opportunity, quickly rushed into the basket.

At this time, Cousins finally reacted and quickly returned to the basket to make up for the defense, but it was clear that he was a little too slow to return to the defense.

With a one-handed dunk, Li Yang easily scored 2 points, rewriting the score to 61:69, and the difference between the two sides was reduced to 8 points.
