Chapter 666: Substitution is king
"Danny!"
The big point guard in the No. 1 jersey jumped up and down in the air before finding his teammate through the gap and delivering a clever pass.
"Uhhh
The ball passed to the three-point line, a slender figure has been posed, after receiving the ball, the empty position is steadily shot, and the three-point hollow score!
"Beautiful!"
The two high-fived each other, then quickly retreated.
"Tick-"
The calf shouted a pause, it's really not okay not to shout!
Looking up at the score, you can see why the calf is in a hurry to call a timeout, and if he doesn't shout, it will be over after a while.
Now the score is 48:42, you must know that the second quarter is only half played, and the Spurs have unknowingly overtaken the score!
Wait, how many points did the Spurs score at the end of the first quarter? 30 points, right? Now 48 points is 18 points.
And what about the calf? 38 points at the end of the first quarter, now it's only 42 points, and it takes almost 6 minutes to score 4 points......
What a disaster!
Or an epic disaster!
With an 18:4 attack wave, the Spurs not only got the score back, but also surpassed a lot.
Nowitzki and Marion on the Mavericks' side are really angry.
I fought so hard in the first quarter that I finally led the Spurs by 8 points, but in the second quarter, I just came down and rested for more than 5 minutes, and those teammates above lost all these points, and by the way, I lost a lot of them......
I have to throw away the goods, look at other people's substitutes, and look at my own family, the two veterans of the Mavericks really want to scold.
When the Spurs came off the bench, they were cheered on by everyone, and the five starters and the rest of the water cooler managers all stood up and welcomed them.
"It's been a lot of work."
"Come on, come on, drink some water."
"That's right, that's right, hurry up, hurry up, get on the towel~"
If you use an expression to describe the current Qin Yan and Whiteside, then it is two words - dog legs!
No, it's just a naked dog's leg, Qin Yan is the No. 1 dogleg, after all, his performance in the first quarter just now was really poor, making the team fall behind so much, and now these substitutes have helped the team save the situation, how can you not take the opportunity to curry favor.
"See, Qin, this is the strength of the predecessors." Dior is quite nervous now, enjoying Whiteside's water delivery and towel delivery service, and laughing at Qin Yan by the way.
"You pull it down, you, it's Danny who plays the biggest role, what's the matter with you." Qin Yan did have a dog-legged expression, but he only served Maddie and Green, the rest of Dior was Whiteside's, Split was the other water cooler administrators, and as for Ginobili, he was Duncan's......
"I'm doing my best, okay?" Dior retorted, just kidding, although he didn't score 2 points much, but he also made a lot of efforts on the court, card position, blocking, rebounding...... In short, Dio inexplicably became the team's defensive core and master of chores on the field.
No way, with that lineup, you can't let Split do these jobs, Split is used to support the scene, if it weren't for the need for a big man to stabilize the situation, Popovich wouldn't let Split do this important job.
As for the outside line, I have to say that the outside line of the Spurs bench is also at the master level, two scoring masters and a 3D player, directly let the Mavericks' Ellis have no way at all, the outside line is three, he may not be able to win no matter who is heads-up, so in the more than 5 minutes, he only scored 4 points......
There was nothing left on the Mavericks' side, and Nowitzki came straight back after the timeout.
What can he do if he doesn't come up, the Mavericks have no one to count on, and Marion is still counting on the main force of the Spurs for a while, and he definitely can't come up so quickly.
Along with Nowitzki was Harris, who replaced Ellis, who wasn't in good shape today, so let him go down and rest for a while.
There are no substitutions on the Spurs' side, it makes no difference for the Spurs whether Nowitzki can't come up, and the bench quintee is now at the peak of tacit understanding, will you be afraid of a No. 1 king?
Of course, Dior's face is not very good-looking, and others may not feel much, but he is different, he is under a lot of pressure, if Nowitzki comes up, he must be the one who defends, and this difficulty is really great.
But there is no way, you can't let Split defend against Nowitzki, that would be even more unreliable......
Nowitzki ended, Dior lowered the center of gravity to resist him, because the tonnage was large and the center of gravity was low, and for a while, Nowitzki really didn't have a good way.
Nowitzki wanted to turn around and shoot a jumper, but he was so pushed by Dio that he suddenly found that he couldn't move, and he was quite helpless for a while, so he could only pass the ball.
However, Dio wanted to completely block Nowitzki, it was no play, go out to do a high block, and then end the direct jump shot, and Dio had no moves.
If you have your back, you can still block it, and if you shoot directly from the front, you can't prevent it without the Golden Rooster Independent Dior.
Dio suddenly felt that he was short, if he had 211, he would probably be able to walk sideways in the alliance now......
But Nowitzki alone is useless, and the Spurs have four players off the bench who can score, especially Green, who is suddenly as accurate as last season's overall game, and has a very determined three-point shot.
Coupled with the fact that Maddie and Ginobili take turns to break inside, Nowitzki really has a lonely idea.
It's all the same subs, why is it so bad?!
What Nuo Tianwang doesn't know is that the Spurs' current bench and starters are not much different, except for the first and second up, sometimes Popovich even feels that his own bench is more like the team's main force.
However, Nowitzki is a king-level person after all, and in the case of Maddy and Ginobili not moving seriously, the Mavericks stubbornly kept up with the rhythm of the Spurs, although the score did not tie, but the Spurs were at best leading by 2-4 points, and there was no way to pull away.
"Spurs come on, Spurs must win......"
Qin Yan began to completely incarnate as a cheerleader in the second quarter, serving tea and water, waving towels and shouting slogans, it was simply "omnipotent", and now looking at the team's stable pressure on the calf, he is even more pressure-free, sure enough, the team is still a substitute king, no, the first quarter made the main force suffer a big loss, in front of them is just equal!
Keep going, it's best to exhaust this old man's physical energy, so that our main force will be really stress-free after a while.
Hmm, doesn't that sound like a bit of a lewd idea...... Bah! It's just so obscene!
Popovich didn't know what his proud disciple was thinking, if he knew, he would probably let Qin Yan sit on the bench......
