Chapter 33: The Tiger Comes Out of the Cage (4)
The Bobcats were forced to call a timeout again, a 27-point difference, which was a bit big, and the Bobcats had obviously lost their discipline by the Spurs at this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bobcats head coach Mike Dunlap is really worried that if this timeout is not called, the difference between the two teams will widen to 30 points in the next round.
However, what Mike Dunlap didn't expect was that although he called a timeout, he still couldn't prevent the difference between the two teams from reaching 30 points.
After the timeout, the Bobcats made another mistake, and Spurs interior DeJuan Blair, who had just come off the bench, stole Biyombo, and in the transition between offense and defense, Gary Neil, who had just come on to replace Stephen Jackson, hit another three-pointer.
With a 30-point difference, the game has completely entered garbage time, Popovich naturally will not let the main players play, and even most of the important rotation players stay off the court to rest at this time, in this case, Li Yang has stayed on the court until the end of the game.
Regarding the expectation of staying in the NBA, the worry and depression of not getting the opportunity to play at all in the first ten days of the short contract, these things have accumulated together, making Li Yang like a beast that has been trapped for a long time.
As soon as he got the opportunity in this game, Li Yang came out of the cage like a beast!
In the first few rounds, Li Yang has already made people see his positivity and energy, and in the subsequent matches, Li Yang continued to release his energy.
On the offensive end, Li Yang actively ran and cut into the air, and if he had the opportunity to get the ball, he did not hesitate to use his breakthrough to tear apart the opponent's defense.
On the defensive end, he actively assists in defense, actively grabs rebounds, and fights for almost every ball.
When Li Yang came on the court, Bill Rand needed to lower his head to look at his name, and when the game was over, Bill Rand said:
"It's a game without suspense, but we also have surprises in the game, Li Yang, this young player from the Austin Bulls, he showed us his energy and great athleticism in this game!"
"Yes, his brilliant fourth-quarter goal made us remember his name, but his energy on both ends of the floor impressed us even more, and if he can continue to play like this, I'm sure the Spurs will not hesitate to sign him." Sean Elliott said the same.
12 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, this is the data that Li Yang handed over in 11 minutes, and his shooting rate is ...... One hundred percent!
Although there is a big reason why Li Yang got such data because the Bobcats were not familiar with Li Yang, and they didn't pay attention to it at first, but such data and Li Yang's performance on the field, his performance in this game is definitely outstanding!
At the end of the game, the Spurs players walked towards the tunnel, and it was a habit for Tim Duncan, the soul of the team, to stand on the sidelines and pat every teammate who walked towards the tunnel with his hand.
"Yang, very well done!"
When he saw Li Yang coming over, Duncan's palm increased his strength and patted Li Yang on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Tim!"
Listening to Duncan's praise, Li Yang couldn't help laughing, and Duncan's actions told him that this was not a polite remark.
Being recognized by the team leader and the best power forward in history after his first game made Li Yang extremely happy.
Li Yang walked briskly into the locker room, and then sat down in front of his cabinet, of course Ginobili was joking that day, the Spurs did not say that there was no cabinet for a ten-day short contract, so Li Yang naturally had his own cabinet for putting things at this time.
Li Yang sat down and raised his head, he saw that some Spurs players began to take off their shoes and prepare to take a shower, some were still chatting, Duncan was the last to walk into the locker room as before, everything looked so normal, so calm, but his mood was not calm.
Thinking of the game that had just ended, Li Yang felt that his heart had become extremely hot.
Li Yang didn't think much about the game just now when he was concentrating on the field, and at this time, when he sat down, Li Yang suddenly had a dreamlike feeling.
I actually played in the NBA and made a really good debut! It all seemed so unreal, but it happened!
This is completely different from the feeling of playing in the Development League, this is the stage of the NBA, the best basketball players in the world, although the opponents in today's game are not strong, but Li Yang can feel that the level is much higher than that of the players in the Development League.
"This is the stage where the best basketball players really fight!"
In addition to the excitement, Li Yang couldn't help but feel excited, and he was a little more eager to stay in the NBA.
"In the next two games, if you have the opportunity to play, you must seize it!"
Li Yang clenched his fists, if he wants to stay at the Spurs, he must seize every opportunity, in addition to performing in the team's training, the best opportunity is naturally to play.
For the next games of the Spurs, Li Yang clearly remembered that the next two games of the Spurs will be on the road, respectively against the Cavaliers and the Nets.
The Cavaliers' strength has dropped significantly since LeBron James left, and under normal circumstances, it is not difficult for the Spurs to win, as for whether they can establish an advantage early, this is not something that Li Yang can control.
As for the Nets, who moved to Brooklyn from New Jersey this season, they just brought in former Hawks leader Joe Johnson in the summer, plus the previously brought in Deron Williams and Gerald Wallace, and have become an Eastern Conference playoff team this season, so the game is not easy to say.
"Alright, guys, good job tonight, rest well, and have a good night's sleep. ”
Popovich's voice came at this point, but he just dropped the sentence and left, for him, such a regular season game was too ordinary.
However, Popovich's words also brought Li Yang back from his contemplation, and after a glance at the locker room, he found that most of the Spurs players had begun to take a shower and prepare to leave, and Li Yang also began to take off his shoes and jersey to take a shower.
Of course, Li Yang was not too sleepy, his mind was still excited enough, but after seeing that Leonard had gone to take a shower, he felt that he needed to hurry up, he didn't want to stay where he would have a headache and how to go to live, although Leonard might not leave him alone.
"There are two more games, come on!" Li Yang roared in his heart as he left the arena in Leonard's car.
Although he is now away from the AT&T Center, Li Yang believes that after the two away games, he will definitely return here, rather than leave forever.
