NBA: No. 1 Forward Chapter 330

In the fourth quarter, Popovich originally planned that as long as the Spurs replaced the bench lineup, the Knicks would also replace the bench lineup accordingly. In this case, the Spurs recovered some points. It's not too ugly either.

The short break ended, and the fourth quarter began. The two teams replaced the main lineup and put on the substitute lineup one after another.

However, the situation after replacing the substitute lineup did not develop as Popovich expected.

Tony Douglas, Wilson Chandler, Gallinari, David Lee, Rasheed Wallace.

After the Knicks put on this full bench lineup, Gallinari, David Lee and Rasheed Wallace showed off one after another. Although it was garbage time, these people did not intend to let the Spurs go. Onslaught.

On the Spurs side, without Ginobili, the sixth man, the Spurs' bench lineup has no fighting spirit.

As a result, the Spurs were beaten 9:0 by the Knicks as soon as the fourth quarter came up.

Popovich is so angry that he is about to vomit blood, but he can't say anything yet. Indeed, both sides have sent substitute lineups, but the quality of the Spurs' bench lineup seems almost meaningless.

On the other hand, Lian Dao excitedly waved a towel to his teammates on the bench, cheering him on.

Seeing Popovich lingering on the sidelines with a dead fish face, Lian Dao was like having a popsicle in the heat of August, feeling so refreshed!

Staples Center, home team locker room!

The Lakers just defeated the visiting Detroit Pistons 108:83. This game did not cause any waves at all. The Pistons missed the best time to rebuild. This season is also a rotten fish in the East. Effortless.

But Kobe was particularly concerned about a game on the East Coast. As soon as Kobe returned to the locker room after attending the press conference, he immediately took out his mobile phone to check the game between the Knicks and the Spurs.

At this time, the game has come to the second half of the fourth quarter.

Seeing the score on the court, Kobe couldn't help frowning secretly.

89:118.

Is this a Spurs game?

They are number one in the West, how could they be beaten so badly?

"Oh, you are watching the Knicks game. The Spurs' Deng Dadai was beaten to the bench by sickle in the first quarter!" Artest had just finished changing his clothes at this time, and saw the game commentary coming from Kobe's mobile phone. voice, so he came over.

He paid attention to this game during the intermission, but he focused on Lian Dao, because Artest had already experienced how difficult Lian Dao was last season.

And this season, Lian Dao is also constantly evolving, which makes Artest very vigilant.

"Have you watched the previous game? What do you think of Sickle?" Kobe looked up at Artest and asked thoughtfully.

"I also watched it during the rotation. As for sickle, although I don't want to admit it, this guy is very strong, especially his mid-range fadeaway jumper. To put it bluntly, his mid-range seems to be better than yours. It's even more scary!" Artest was also rare serious this time.

Since this guy came to the Lakers, his temper has actually restrained a lot, and he is no longer as hot-tempered as the Palace of Auburn Hills.

It's also possible that after Kobe got the championship ring he wanted most, this guy's mentality changed.

Of course, if you think this guy has no temper at all, then you are wrong.

You must know that in the game against the Thunder in 2012, this guy elbowed Harden to the ground when celebrating a goal, causing Harden to fall to the ground for several minutes and couldn't get up. Later, he was found to have a slight concussion.

Although after the game, Artest repeatedly explained that he was an accident at the time. At that time, he was so excited that he had entered a crazy celebration mode, and he just accidentally hit Harden when he swung his elbow to celebrate.

However, netizens and fans will not believe this guy's nonsense, all this guy's plans are intentional.

Kobe froze for a moment, looked at his teammates in the locker room, and sighed secretly. He also obviously found that the impact of the Lakers this season is obviously not as good as last season.

The Lakers are not without reinforcements this season.

The Lakers first signed free agent Steve Black in the free market in the summer, and then signed again on July 22 as free agents Theo Ratliff and Matt Barnes.

These operations have strengthened the depth of the Lakers' bench.

Then on December 15, 2010, they initiated a three-way deal with the Nets and Rockets.

The Los Angeles Lakers traded Sasha Vujacic and a 2011 first-round pick to the New Jersey Nets as part of a 3-team trade.

Houston Rockets trade Sergey Lishuk to Los Angeles Lakers; Houston Rockets trade 2013 first-round pick to New Jersey Nets.

New Jersey Nets trade Terrence Williams to Houston Rockets; New Jersey Nets trade Joe Smith and 2011 2nd round pick and 2012 2nd round pick to Los Angeles Lakers.

After this operation, the Lakers have strengthened the bench lineups at positions 1, 3 and 5 to a certain extent, but so far, as the defending champions, the Lakers' record this season in the Western Conference is not counted. Very ideal.

24 wins and 11 losses ranked fourth in the West. Not long ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder surpassed the Lakers in record and jumped to third in the West, while the Lakers fell to fourth in the West.

Especially against such Eastern and Western playoff teams as the Heat, Spurs, Mavericks, and Thunder, the Lakers' winning percentage is pitifully low.

Kobe then glanced at his phone. The Knicks-Spurs game was over.

The final score was fixed at 98:129. The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs at home with a 31-point lead.

Kobe looked at Lian Dao who was being interviewed by the media. He didn't know whether the Lakers, who were able to suppress the Knicks last season, could continue to suppress this season.

"I want to see how much you have grown?"

Artest's evaluation of Lian Dao also aroused Kobe's desire to win. He is looking forward to the first match between the two this season.

The Knicks beat the Spurs by 31 points, which was a result that no one expected.

You must know that this is the best match between the East and the West in the NBA. From the record point of view, the strength of the two teams is not much different.

Many people think that even if the Knicks win this game, they can win by about a dozen points at most. They never thought that the Knicks could win more than 30 points from the Spurs.

Although Duncan sat on the bench early in the first quarter due to a foul, the result still shocked everyone.

When it comes to the Spurs, many people think of GDP, and the second is the defense of the Spurs. Popovich, who learned from Larry Brown, may not be very good in offense, but defense is his housekeeping skill.

In the regular season and playoffs in recent years, very few teams have scored 100 points against the Spurs. There are many super scorers in the league. Facing the defensive system created by Popovich, they have very few personal points. Achieve 40 points or more.

Not to mention losing to an opponent by 31 points in a game. This kind of big loss to an opponent is really rare in Popovich's coaching career.

In this game, Lian Dao scored 41 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, still a stable large triple-double.

In addition, Stoudemire, Gallinari, Millsap, Holiday, David Lee, Cousins, Danny Green...they all played well.

In GDP, apart from Duncan leaving the game early, Ginobili played the best, with 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists~www.mtlnovel.com~ Parker also scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists.

This game also once again made the Knicks the center of public opinion.

"With a 31-point victory from the seasoned Spurs, the Knicks have shown themselves as champions!"

"Sickle is really incomprehensible. So far, only the Big Three of the Heat can touch the Knicks!"

"The game between the Knicks and the Lakers is coming soon. I don't know if the defending champion can stop the Knicks!"

"Under the leadership of Lian Dao, the Knicks have once again won 6 consecutive victories. We are optimistic about the Knicks starting the next winning streak!"

However, Lian Dao didn't pay attention to them. After the Spurs game, he drove to the airport to pick up the younger sister who came back from a business trip.

Although the company has a driver, the two haven't seen each other for a week. Lian Dao wants to see the little senior sister as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to bring this light bulb with him.
