The Spurs and Hawks played evenly in the first half, proving that sometimes the quality between the original and the copycat is not too much worse.

What's more, now this Spurs also has more or less traces left by Burhodenze, so the eagles really can't be said to be a complete copycat, more like a Spurs technician was sent out to open up new markets, and then created a brand.

Strictly speaking, this is a derivative product, or a subsidiary.

Leonard was the core of the team this time, and his performance in the first half was not bad.

He shot 6-of-11 from the field and didn't have a three-pointer, but he made four free throws, and Leonard scored 16 points in the half, along with four rebounds and two steals.

However, this did not lead the Spurs to a sufficient lead, as the Hawks also had three players in double figures, and although there were not as many individual points as Leonard, they added up to more than offset this deficiency.

Because the two sides are tied, the second half can decide the moment of victory or defeat.

"I really didn't expect Coach Mike to use that trick against you." Qin Yan, who was dressed in a suit, said to Leonard with some schadenfreude.

Leonard didn't speak, and he was indeed caught and then violated for 8 seconds, which is not a glorious thing.

"Don't gloat, didn't you kid be caught in the first place."

Duncan slapped Qin Yan on the head and rubbed it, then turned his head to comfort Leonard, who was not in the right state.

"Kyle, is the Eagle strong?" Jokic, who didn't know why he didn't get a chance to play in the first half, asked Anderson that he had a strong premonition that he would definitely play in the second half, so now he had to hurry up and ask for information.

Sledgehammer scored eight points in the first half, the efficiency was okay, and the first start was not particularly humiliating.

"It's okay, the style of play is very similar to ours, but I don't think they will be too familiar with you, so as long as you play your own characteristics, it will be easier to score."

Anderson hit the nail on the head, and it was true that because Burhodenze had not seen these two men, some of the defensive strategies he laid out should have been ineffective against these two men.

"Oh, I see."

Jokic suddenly gained confidence, thinking that he would not be too embarrassed when he went up in the second half.

"In the second half, we played more blocking, especially if Kewai was caught in the middle of them, I want you to be ready to respond quickly......"

After Popovich came in, he began to arrange the general tactics of the second half, because Coach Bulhodenze is very familiar with the regular tactics of the Spurs, so if he wants to win, he can only change the formation, Popovich is now simplifying Sloan's blocking and dismantling tactics for the Spurs, after all, without Qin Yan's strongest firepower point, it is difficult to tear apart the Hawks' defense by personal ability.

"Don't change the defense in the second half of the defensive end, just keep an eye on it one-on-one, it's easy to mess up when you change defense, and the current Eagle, there is nothing special to wrap up......"

Because many of the Hawks' tactics are very similar to the Spurs, the usually effective tactics of changing the defense are of little use to the Hawks, because the Spurs themselves like to take advantage of the loopholes in the opponent's defense change to score, and the Hawks are the same, in the first half, there were some problems with the Spurs' change of defense, which made the Eagles play very happily.

"Nikolai, you start in the second half, replace Tim."

Jokic, who was listening to the coach, was suddenly cued, and sure enough, he was ready to play in the second half.

"Come on, come on."

Anderson is cheering for his brother in the same grade, and the current Spurs can be said to be full of talent, as first-year brothers, the two of them must play their worth if they want to stay on this brilliant team.

"Hmm...... I didn't expect these two guys to have a good relationship. ”

Because he didn't have to play, Qin Yan could desert leisurely on the side, no, he had just silently observed everyone's reactions and everything.

At the start of the second half, the Spurs' lineup here was Whiteside, Jokic, Leonard, Green and Parker, and this lineup made a big change from the starting lineup in the first quarter.

This surprised the DJs at the scene, and they could only sigh that the team had more people who could play, and even the lineup could be changed so willfully.

The Hawks are still in the starting lineup, and they don't have anyone else to change.

The Hawks attacked, Horford went inside to contain Whiteside, and then Millsap found the opportunity to push Jokic away while quickly jamming the position under the basket.

"Ball!"

Teague broke through and gave the ball to Millsap safely.

"Up!"

Millsap got up straight after receiving the ball because he pushed Jokic away, without any hesitation.

"Go down!"

Although Jokic was pushed by Millsap just now, as a rookie, he can't admit defeat even if he is pushed away!

No, the guy quickly rushed back and slapped the ball in Millsap's hand.

"Smack!"

"Tick!"

The ball wasn't defended properly, and Jokic's bounce was average, so this shot went directly to Millsap's hand, not the ball.

However, Millsap didn't score this goal, so it's acceptable, at least not "2+1", isn't it.

"Paul, are you alright?" Horford came up to ask about Millsap, because Jokic had been slapping the ball quite loudly, so Millsap had been rubbing where he had been photographed.

"Another newcomer I haven't seen before."

Millsap signaled that he had no problem, and that the rookie was the same as in the first half, which they hadn't looked into closely.

"I think he's very ruthless." Horford glanced at Jokic, who was about the same number as himself, this newcomer was really ruthless, and this time, Millsap may not be able to score free throws.

"I'll try his pounds and two when I go back."

Millsap found Jokic quite amusementary, and it was rare for a rookie who was topped by himself to be able to quickly chase back and stop himself with a reasonable foul.

At this time, the referee motioned for everyone to stand and took two penalties.

"Bang!"

"Uhhh

It is estimated that it was still affected a little, and Misap made one of two free throws.

"Nikolai, you can."

Whiteside serves the baseline and then runs to the front court with Jokic.

"Hassan, can you help me with a pick-and-roll in a moment?"

Jokic asked Whiteside for a pick-and-roll.

"yes, yes."

Whiteside, this guy, now sees himself as the team's future three leaders, in his opinion, Jokic is his little brother, and he should help his little brother.

Jokic went inside to get the ball and then signaled to Whiteside that he could block it.

In a one-on-one pick-and-roll on the inside, Horford and Millsap looked at each other, and they didn't switch.

Jokic faced Horford after the substitution, and the two guys of similar height were facing each other, and what no one expected was that Jokic actually bumped into it straight up!

"Bang!"

Horford didn't expect this guy he hadn't seen before to be so tough, and he directly came up, so this collision, he was hit and staggered back two steps.

But Jokic is even more uncomfortable, Horford has been in the league for so many years, and it is only Jokic who suffers under this kind of impact, and he takes more steps back.

But at this time, Jokic's IQ is reflected.

Throwing the ball to the rebound with one hand, Jokic made a gesture with his eyes to Whiteside that it was a pass.

Whiteside was still a little surprised as to why Jokic would crash into it.

But now that I look at it, this collision is good, Horford was knocked away, and Whiteside is one-on-one Millsap inside!

Or an air combat ball, how can this ball not be deducted?

"Drink!"

"Boom!"

Whiteside caught the ball firmly and slammed it in.

"Well passed!"

Coming off the basket, Whiteside and Jokic high-fived, this guy, he did have a hand in passing.

"A newcomer who can pass the ball."

The Hawks also feel a little tricky, and the Spurs are really lucky, and the two newcomers have a good hand......
