The season started well, and the Spurs won on their home court, a big win by more than a dozen points, leaving no chance for the Nets at all.

Qin Yan didn't play much in the first game of the new season, he scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, a very standard 25+ triple-double.

This seems to tell people that this year's Qin Yan is more versatile and more terrifying!

Of course, among Qin Yan's 10 assists, 4 were contributed by Leonard, Leonard, who learned to run and shoot, made Qin Yan more at ease when passing, as long as he ran and could get out of space, then passing it would definitely be an assist!

Of course, the team's highest assist was Parker, who scored 13 points and 14 assists, which seemed very easy.

Leonard also scored 18 points, and his running shot in this game made the Nets suffer enough, and it also proved to everyone that he can not only defend, but also have offensive ability!

And the veterans of the Spurs also scored their own points, basically playing quite easily, Uncle Duncan and Garnett hugged affectionately after the game, and now these two old guys who are almost 80 years old together are playing one less game, and I don't know when the next time they play together.

Qin Yan's debut in the new season is a triple-double, which makes many people feel incredible, I already know that after the 50+ triple-double last season, Qin Yan rarely has a triple-double performance, he is basically 25+5+5 up and down, some media and fans believe that if according to his first performance, this season Qin Yan is ready to challenge the record of the average triple-double of the big O?

However, many sane fans said that this is unlikely, and if the Spurs want to challenge the record of the big O, unless Popovich regards Qin Yan as his only son, it is basically impossible.

But is there a shortage of Spurs Ripovich's own son? GDP accounts for three places, plus Leonard and Qin Yan are 5, sacrificing other people's data to make Qin Yan break the record of Big O that has been sealed for many years, this is not Qin Yan's style, nor is it Popovich's style.

In the post-match interview, the most asked question by reporters about Qin Yan was whether he had any expectations for the new season, especially whether he had any hope of defending his title.

Qin Yan replied that it was a drip, he said that the goal of every team must be the championship, and the Spurs, as the winner of last season's championship, will definitely go all out in the new season.

As for what goals he has this season, whether he wants to break the record of Big O or something, Qin Yan said that everything is subject to the command and the coach's arrangement.

Sure enough, it was a drip-tight Popovich-style answer, and it was in vain to ask, it was all nonsense, and it was a waste of the voice recorder's electricity.

The Nets said that the loss in this game was acceptable, after all, before the game against the Spurs, the Nets had won their first win of the season, so it was not a pity to lose this game.

After all, with back-to-back excuses, no one can say that the Nets don't work hard.

It's just that this game for the Nets exposed that their starting five Tigers are actually not particularly strong, except for Lopez who is a young man, Delon is not young, not to mention that the remaining three are almost 100 years old combined......

At the average age, they are all older than the Spurs......

But fortunately, although the Tigers are old, the residual power is still there, and those old men of the Nets can still hold the court, at least this season the Nets can still rely on the residual heat of these old people to shock.

Let's skip the Nets and look at the Spurs again.

San Antonio, Spurs Training Gym.

"What's that? Eight Consecutive Guests? Really? You can't be mistaken! ”

At the end of the day's training, all the Spurs were listening to the staff report on the upcoming schedule in the training hall, and they heard very bad news.

Eight consecutive guests, this devil-like schedule has been touched by them!

In fact, the Spurs had an eight-game away streak last season, but the problem was that it was already mid-season, and this kind of eight-game streak was the first time it had been encountered.

Now the Spurs have doubted that that Stern guy may be very interested in arranging a nine-game road trip for the Spurs at the beginning of the season, and he doesn't even plan to let them get the ring!

But something may have happened in the end that Stern's wishful thinking didn't work out, so they had to return the opener to the Spurs so they could claim the ring at home.

However, the next eight consecutive visitors are inevitable, and it is estimated that it is Stern's punishment for the Spurs.

Who made the Spurs not very much of Stern's rule, and Qin Yan also went to make a movie this summer, which set off a lot of public opinion trends.

This stimulated Stern's revenge, and he wanted to clean up the Spurs, but he was about to retire, and there was no other way to deal with the Spurs, so he could only do something on the schedule.

So, he made a mess of 8 consecutive games for the Spurs (in fact, it was originally 9 consecutive games), and in order to show his generosity, Stern "generously" gave the opening game to the Spurs.

"Eight in a row, from Orlando to Toronto, I'm going, let's go from south to north at the beginning of the season?"

After listening to the arrangement, Qin Yan was no longer able to complain, what is this breaking the schedule, is it planning to let the master go from the south to the north? Master is not an ascetic!

If the long-distance eight-game is not handled well, the Spurs are likely to start the game with the worst start in team history.

Although the opponents along the way are not particularly strong, flying around such a long distance is a great test for every player.

This Stern, who is almost retiring, has so much to do.

"Okay, let's hear it clearly, dismiss now, go back and pack up your equipment, and gather here at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will try to get to Orlando as soon as possible."

Popovich is also frustrated by this kind of schedule, and he doesn't like to fly so far and play so many games at once.

But the rules of the Union are rules, and Popovich has no way.

However, the measures that Spurs will take for such long-distance away games are also very simple, which is to give up a few of them.

There were some back-to-back games on the way to the eight-game trip, and the Spurs intend to forgo the second game of the back-to-back so as to ensure the physical strength of the main players and not leave the team full of injuries at the start of the season.

Qin Yan vowed that he must have a good relationship with Xiao Hua in the future, at least this kind of schedule problem will not bother the Spurs in the future.

Next time, I will definitely no longer be a person who walks from the south to the north, and I will definitely let Xiao Hua arrange a comfortable schedule for the Spurs.

But no matter what the future holds, the Spurs can only pack up and start their journey from south to north.
