"Yang, the team has decided to sign you another ten-day contract, see you tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, at the stadium. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Thinking of the content on the phone call just now, Li Yang, who walked downstairs, was swept away with the loss in his heart.

Although he didn't play for the previous 10 days, it was clear that his performance in team training and daily training was watched by Spurs' management and coaching staff.

The second short contract, which means that I have another ten days of chance!

Of course, this is also his last 10-day chance at the Spurs, because according to NBA rules, a team can only give players two consecutive 10-day contracts in a season.

"Sorry, I got a call, I'm late!"

Walking to the restaurant, Li Yang found that Leonard and Kim Robertson were already sitting there, and immediately apologized.

"It's okay!" Kim Robertson smiled.

"Yang ......" Leonard did not answer this question directly at this time, he called Li Yang's name, and paused before saying: "Actually, you are great, it's just that you still need a chance." ”

Li Yang knew that Leonard was talking about the expiration of the ten-day contract, and he wanted to make a joke to tease Leonard, but it was not easy for Leonard to comfort himself like this, so he put away this thought and said directly to Leonard:

"Thanks, Kawai, RC just called me and he said the team was willing to offer me another ten day contract. ”

"Oh, that's good news. Leonard nodded, and began to bury his head in destroying his own food.

"Yes, that's good news. Li Yang replied, and after taking a bite of food, he smiled and said to Kim Robertson, "It tastes great!"

"Yes? Thank you, I think so too. Kim Robertson laughed happily, and Leonard looked up and grinned.

............

AT&T Center Arena, Spurs home, sitting on the sidelines again, Li Yang's mood is not as excited as the first time, but more complicated, when the second ten-day contract is really signed, Li Yang believes that the Spurs will definitely give him some opportunities to play, and now, all he has to do is look forward to the arrival of this opportunity?

Will it be today's game against Charlotte Bobcats? Li Yang didn't know that although the strength of the two teams was very different, he really didn't know how the game would play, especially since the Spurs had suspended two big players today.

Ginobili was injured in the game against the Timberwolves, and according to the subsequent feedback from the team doctor, Ginobili will be out for about 10 to 14 days, and another veteran, and the core of the team, Tim Duncan, will be scheduled to rest by Popovich for this game.

Just when Li Yang was thinking like this, the game on the court had already begun, and the starting lineups on the Spurs' side were center Tiago Split, power forward Burrece Dior, small forward Kawhi Leonard, scoring guard Danny Green, and point guard Tony Parker.

Charlotte Bobcats start center Brandon Haywood, power forward Bismarck Biyombo, small forward Michael Gilchrist, scoring guard Gerald Henderson, point guard Kemba Walker.

The Bobcats are a truly young team, having only joined the NBA in 2004, and the team's fame now probably comes largely from their owner, basketball god Michael Jordan, who bought the Bobcats in 2010.

They are undergoing a reconstitution in the last two seasons, and the team is now developing a core of Kemba Walker, the No. 9 pick in 2011, a 1.85-meter-tall point guard.

Also in the NBA in '11 was Bismarck Biyombo, who was a bit higher in the overall pick than Kemba Walker, who was drafted by the Kings with the No. 7 pick in the first round and then traded to the Bobcats, a blue-collar interior lineman.

Striker Michael Gilchrist is the star of the season and is a striker with good physical and defensive qualities.

Gerald Henderson is slightly older than the trio, but just as young, and he is still on his rookie contract after entering the NBA in '09.

Brandon Haywood is the older of the starting five, having played more than 10 years since he entered the NBA in '01.

Most of the young teams have one characteristic, they have hard work and impact, but they are not as good as the consistency and teamwork.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs' Split offense was blocked by Biyongbo, and after the goal was completed, the Bobcats were very excited, and they tried to speed up the tempo to press the Spurs, but in their eagerness, they quickly made consecutive mistakes, seized these opportunities, and the Spurs quickly established the advantage.

At 2:11, three minutes later, the Bobcats scored only 2 points, while the Spurs had already scored 11 points, forcing the Bobcats to call a timeout.

The opening minutes set the tone for the first half, and although the Bobcats began to control the errors and close the deficit to just four points after the first quarter, the Spurs opened up again after the start of the second quarter.

With a small 8-0 attack wave at the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs once again widened the gap to double digits, and the Bobcats were unable to close the gap until the end of the first half.

At 37:52, after halftime, the Spurs led by 15 points.

The third quarter was a relatively close game between the two sides, and the Bobcats almost tied with the Spurs in this quarter, of course, it was only almost, and at 23:25, the Spurs won by 2 points in a single quarter, extending the difference between the two teams to 17 points.

In the interval between the third and fourth quarters of the game, looking at such a score, Li Yang, who was standing on the outskirts of the Spurs, couldn't help but feel excited. Before the final quarter of the game, the 17-point difference was definitely a big difference, especially the momentum shown by the Bobcats today, and it was difficult to reverse it.

If...... If the margin widens in the first half of the fourth quarter, maybe I have a chance to play?

Thinking of this, Li Yang swept his gaze to several players who were going to play after the start of the fourth quarter, two backcourters Patrick Mills and Tony Parker, two forwards Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Jackson, and center Thigoa Split, which is a large lineup with four small.

The break passed quickly, and the two teams returned to the court, with the Spurs taking the lead in attacking, Parker possessing the ball, and Ginobili and Duncan not on the court to help share, so Parker naturally took on a heavier organizational task.

After Parker had possession of the ball to halfcourt, Split mentioned a pick-and-roll from beyond the three-point line, and Parker also used his pick-and-roll to rush inside the three-point line.

As he gets older, Parker's speed is not as good as he used to be, but his control of the pace has become more and more subtle, and he doesn't look like a fast breakout, but he attracts two Bobcats to defend.

Seizing the opportunity, Split began to move to the basket, and the Bobcats immediately shrank the defense.

The inside line was blocked at the moment, Split cut to the basket did not have a good chance, and Parker did not mean to pass the ball to the outside at all, dribbling to near the free throw line, Parker suddenly slowed down and the defender distanced, and at the same time pushed with both hands, sending the ball outside the three-point line on the right side.

Patrick Mills, empty seats!

While the Bobcats were shrinking their defense, Mills slipped to the right side of the three-point line to ambush and just in time for Parker's pass.

After receiving the ball, he shot quickly, and Mills, who was in the open space, threw unusually decisively. The ball flew from beyond the three-point line and plunged headlong into the basket.

Three-point shooting!60:80, the difference between the two teams widened to 20 points.

"It's a big point difference. Li Yang thought as he looked at Popovich.

Popovich's eyes were on the court at this time, the Bobcats attacked, the Spurs defended very well, Kemba Walker dribbled directly through Mills and rushed inside, but the layup was interfered with by Split, and the ball bounced out of the basket.

Split, who was in a good position, picked the rebound and quickly put the ball in the hands of Parker, who was in charge of the advancement.

Parker didn't take the ball himself forward, he took a step forward and pushed the ball out and sent it to Stephen Jackson, who had already run to the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball, Jackson was about one step away from the three-point line, stepped on the broken step to adjust his pace, and came to the outside of the three-point line, Jackson suddenly shot.

At this time, the rest of the Spurs' players were still behind, and Jackson's timing was definitely not too good, and it was also unexpected by the defenders.

When he saw Stephen Jackson jump to make a shot, Gilchrist, the starting small forward on the Bobcats' side, hurriedly stopped his backward pace and stepped forward to defend.

However, such defense has been ineffective against Jackson, and Jackson's three-point shot is also hit.

"Good shot!" On the sidelines, Li Yang waved a towel and shouted, the Spurs' two three-pointers were undoubtedly rubbing salt on the Bobcats' wounds, widening the difference to 23 points while also losing the momentum of the Bobcats.

Mike Dunlap was well aware of this, so he quickly called a timeout even though the fourth quarter was less than a minute into play.

Li Yang looked at the Spurs players walking to the sidelines, thinking in his heart that if the Spurs could withstand the next few rounds of the Bobcats, the game would really enter garbage time, maybe ...... Maybe you have a chance?

"Yang!"

At this time, Li Yang suddenly heard someone calling his name, turned his head, and found that it was Popovich who called him, and the other party's next sentence surprised Li Yang even more.

"Ready to come on and replace Kawai. ”

Popovich's tone was bland and impermanent, he had said too many such things in his coaching career, but such a bland sentence fell on Li Yang's ears, but Li Yang felt that his whole body was trembling with excitement.

Playing in the NBA?

This...... It's so exciting!
