The Eagles were a little embarrassed now, because they suddenly found that there was an inside line on the opposite side who could pass the ball.

That's right, Jokic is so annoying, in the battle on the inside, this guy is as slippery as a catfish, and he doesn't know when he will launch a sudden attack.

He kept using his passes to motivate the whole team, especially Whiteside, the big man who suddenly dominated the sky above the box with the help of Jokic's passing!

That's right, it's domination, the eagles don't have good people bouncing, and there are no big men, and air combat is at an absolute disadvantage.

And Jokic, a guy who doesn't lose to some outside point guards with one hand, is the favorite partner of Whiteside, a jumping male center.

He's eating the cake now, but it's from the inside, and as long as the ball is flying firmly into the air, he always has a way to press the ball in.

And because the distance inside the pass is relatively close, it is more convenient for Whiteside to catch the ball than to receive the air relay ball on the outside, and the shot is faster, so it is naturally impressive to play.

However, the Hawks can mix in the second place in the East, that's really not blowing, they completely played their own cooperation in the second half, especially Korver seems to want to sweep away the embarrassing scene of 0 points in the first half, and after the second half of the game, they kept using the team's cooperation to make space, and then in front of the 3D player Green, it rained three points in a row! It was a bit of a disgrace for Green because he was tough today......

And Korver came up with four consecutive three-pointers, and then threw in six three-pointers in just one quarter, such a performance, ask who else in the audience!

If it weren't for Jokic echoing Parker on the inside, and the two of them revitalizing the team together, maybe the Spurs wouldn't be able to support the Hawks' offense.

But the biggest problem for the Hawks is that they can't bench well, except for the starting five Tigers, the Hawks' bench lineup is really poor, the only big name is the former "captain" Brand, and then only Saflosha is still a little famous.

Such a lineup is destined for them to be helpless sometimes, obviously the main players and the opposite side are inseparable, but once both sides are substituted, the point difference will be opened up little by little.

The biggest headache is that because the tactics on both sides are similar, they basically know the roots, but the two rookies that the Spurs picked up at the end of the first round this year are too powerful, and the cooperation between one inside and one outside is quite tacit, and the Hawks really have no way to take these two for a while.

This may have been what Coach Burkodenze had never expected before the game.

The Spurs withstood the offensive frenzy launched by the Hawks in the third quarter, and the routine of this third quarter offensive wave is also familiar to them, as long as they withstand this wave, then the next game will be much easier, at least with the Hawks' lineup, there is no way to easily launch another wave of this level of offense in the fourth quarter.

Moreover, if the two teams reach a critical moment in the fourth quarter, another Achilles heel of the Hawks will also be exposed - there is no absolute leader, and there is a lack of people who can make a final decision.

Because there is no absolute leader, in the fourth quarter, when the scores on both sides are entangled, the Hawks lack a person who can score consistently or lead the team forward, and there is no superstar at critical moments, which makes the Hawks feel a little lacking in blood.

At least this season, when the game dragged into the final five minutes, the Hawks played terrified, and most of those games he lost were dragged to the end of the fourth quarter, and then they were unable to follow up and were killed by their opponents.

Popovich let two rookies appear on the court at the same time in the fourth quarter, I have to say that this and my idea is very bold, with Mills, who is now more offensive desire, to replace Parker, let Anderson and Jokic organize the team's offense inside and outside, and the others use their best moves to get space to shoot, and the offensive efficiency of the Spurs' routine is unusually high!

In particular, Jokic is almost playing all of the Hawks' interior lines, although his own offensive ability is not good, but he can always use weird passes to penetrate the Hawks' interior defense.

The happiest one was Whiteside, who sent out 30+10 stats today, and almost only did one thing in the second half, which was to jump up, get the ball in the air, and then smash the ball into the basket.

And Jokic not only passes to the inside, but also to the outside, if it weren't for the team's outside three-pointers (such as Green) today, Jokic would have more assists, but even if the outside line is not accurate, Jokic also got 11 assists in this game, 6 of which were for Whiteside.

As for Anderson, he was great today, although his chances of receiving the ball in the second half were not as big as in the first half, but that weird rhythm made him feel like no one, and he won 15++5+5 in the whole game, which is a perfect statistic.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Hawks with a deeper foundation and made a good start to their long-distance road trip.

Coach Bulhodenze said after the game that he was convinced, even though he was familiar with most of the Spurs' tactics and could simulate them perfectly with the Eagles, but basketball is played by players after all, and anything can happen as long as you stand on the court.

However, he focused on praising the two newcomers that the Spurs picked up in the first round, Jokic and Anderson were very good today, one won two double-doubles and the other 15+5+5, which is very worthy of their bottom pick in the first round.

"Sure enough, every one that was picked up by the Spurs with a low pick was a treasure."

This is the last emotion of Coach Bulhodenze, those status shows that no one wanted back then, grew up silently in the Spurs, especially Parker and Ginobili.

It can only be said that the Feng Shui of the Spurs has always been suitable for low-post rookies, and the high-level show now only has two people, Duncan and Qin Yan.

Popovich disagreed with his old partner's words and refused to poison the milk. He said that the two newcomers have just successfully completed the task, and there is still a long way to go, so don't put pressure on them now, after all, this is their rookie season.

However, the rest of the Spurs team uncharacteristically praised the two, especially those who are about to retire, and they agreed that the inside and outside combination of these two newcomers has great potential, and if the team can develop well, the future is a killer feature.

Well, it seems that just after a game, the whole team instantly made these two newcomers the core of the future, and Leonard and Qin Yan, who were originally favored by everyone, seem to have lost their original status.

Especially because Leonard is a bit anticlimactic today, he scored 16 points in the half, and only 24 points in the whole game, what is this concept? That meant he scored just 8 points in the second half! Not at all like an offensive and defensive leader.

Fortunately, the game was won in the end, otherwise Xiaoka wouldn't know what he would be scolded for.

Some media are starting to smell the big news, and the Spurs have poached two powerful rookies, can they shake the existing core position?
