On the charter plane of the Spurs to Oklahoma, Popovich was nagging his disciples about something. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The current Thunder is not playing against us at the beginning of the season, their cooperation is more tacit, and the style of play is more clear, you must be careful to understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone spoke in unison.

"The last time they lost to us, it was because their point guard Westbrook didn't play, but now, Westbrook has played quite consistently, you look at the current scoring list, the first is Durant's 30.3 points, the third is Westbrook's 28.6 points, which shows that these two people are very strong in attack now, so you must not despise them because of the last win." Popovich said as he flipped through the information.

"However, don't be too nervous, because the Thunder are really weak right now, in addition to these two, their third scorer Kevin Martin, who is currently averaging only 12.8 points per game, which is much worse than Harden last season, and then there is an Ibaka who can score about 10, and the rest are averaging single-digit points per game, what does that mean?" Popovich asked.

"It shows that the Thunder basically only rely on their double deficit now, without Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder is a piece of dough, and you can knead it as much as you want." After Maddie's injury recovered, it seemed that the domineering of the year had returned a little bit, and this time the answer seemed confident.

"That's a good point!" Popovich agreed, and at the same time circled the names of Durant and Westbrook on the tactical board, "Today's task is to seal these two people!" Qin! Kewai! ”

"Here!" Qin Yan and Leonard agreed in unison.

"The two of you blocked this Shuangshao combination last time, and this time you tell me, can you seal them again!" Popovich looked at the two guys and smiled wickedly.

Qin Yan and Leonard glanced at each other, and the two of them suddenly felt an endless battle intent burning in their chests.

"No problem!"

"Good! The rest of the people, let's ...... like this, "After the most important tasks have been assigned, Popovich has also begun to instruct the other disciples, and this game Popovich looks like he is going to move seriously."

……

When everything was over, everyone returned to their places and prepared to rest, Qin Yan picked up a newspaper on the plane and looked at it, and suddenly was attracted by a piece of news.

"All-Star voting for the new season is about to begin! Who can be the starter of the year?! ”

"Alas, Qin, what are you looking at without resting?" Huang Ama Green sat beside Qin Yan, and when he saw Qin Yan reading the newspaper, he immediately turned his head over.

"Hey, hey! All-Star, isn't it Qin, do you want to be the starter of All-Star! Green shouted in surprise after seeing the news.

"What's that? All-star? Suddenly, a group of people in the cabin gathered around.

"Ah, you really forgot if you didn't say it, it is true that according to the time, this year's All-Star Game is time to vote." Parker slapped his head and said first.

"Yes, yes, it's almost every year." Duncan reacted.

"Alas, it doesn't matter, it won't be my turn anyway." Dior was very simple at this time: "I'll go and cheer for your house then." Anyway, who in our team has a chance to go to the All-Star this year? It can't be Tim alone, right? ”

In fact, Dio's words have an element of joking, because the Spurs' style may be more old-fashioned, so the popularity of the superstars in the team is not particularly high (at least Duncan's popularity is not as popular as Kobe Bryant, James Durant and the like), and the superstars of the Spurs seem to be not suitable for the All-Star exhibition game full of joy and comics. The "GDP" trio has only Duncan as an All-Star regular, and the rest of Ginobili and Parker don't have too many All-Star experiences.

"Nonsense, we have Qin here this year, how can we say that Qin is also going to participate in the Rookie Challenge, and maybe, Qin can also make it to the All-Star race." Dio heckled on the side.

"It's also oh, Yao Ke beat Sha Ke in the main match back then, think about it now, Qin may also be able to beat Bryant to enter the main game." Mills also joked on the side.

Qin Yan didn't speak, and Leonard retorted, "I think it's okay for Qin to enter the main match, 20+5+5, no one can say anything about this data in the main game." ”

"Xiaoka, don't talk nonsense." Qin Yan suddenly spoke, "Don't forget that Kobe's data this year is much better than mine, I don't think my performance this year is enough to enter the main game, not to mention, in addition to Kobe, there are many excellent guards in the West, I guess I don't hope much." Qin Yan is very rational about whether he can enter the All-Star, Yao Ming's 13+8 data pressed O'Neal as the starter, and I don't know how many people sprayed him.

Qin Yan is not without ambition, but he hopes that he can face all this rationally before his strength is enough to support his ambitions, and now he is only in his first year, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to compete for the honor of All-Star.

What's more, isn't an all-star just an exhibition game, what's there to fight for, as a rookie for 12 years, he must participate in the rookie game, which is different from participating in the all-star.

"Qin, you don't have to be so modest. Your current data is very good, and you are Chinese, just look at Yao, there will definitely be many people voting for you! What's more, I think you're much better than Yao's rookie season. ”

As Yao Ming's former teammate, Maddie knows best how powerful Chinese fans are. When I was in the Rockets, I enjoyed the observation of many Chinese fans, not to mention, from the data point of view, Qin Yan of 20+5+5, his performance is much better than that of Yao Ming of 13+8, that is, there are too many excellent guards in the West, otherwise at least there is a chance to be selected as a substitute.

The teammates then started chatting with the All-Star vote, speculating on this year's starters, predicting the champions of various competitions, predicting the stars of the opening show, and so on. After all, this festival is more of a grand event for the players.

"Qin, you really don't want to play on All-Stars?" Leonard was curious.

"It's not interesting, just play the rookie game well, what? Do you want to go? Why don't I call on the Chinese fans to vote for you? Qin Yan said half-jokingly.

"I, I don't care, but I think you can go to the slam dunk contest or the three-point contest or something, I think you should be the champion if you go to these two games." Leonard was still egging on Qin Yan.

"Slam Dunk Contest? Three-point contest? Qin Yan suddenly thought about it, it makes sense, if he didn't go to the main competition, it seemed that he could be in the limelight by participating in these two competitions......
