"Qin, are you still going with us to the away game?"

The day after the Mavericks game, the Spurs team was ready to go on the road, and the first thing they would go to was Atalanta.

However, when everyone gathered, they found that Qin Yan, who was "injured" yesterday, actually appeared in the parking lot with his luggage.

"yes, I have to go too."

Qin Yan also had a helpless expression on his face, yesterday's fraudulent injury did not give him much rest, because the doctors in the Holy City Hospital were too upright, and the last news that came out was that Qin Yan's arm was slightly strained, and he could rest for a game or two.

Popovich was also very helpless, he didn't calculate that the doctors would be so faceless, and he almost didn't directly say that Qin Yan was not sick when he applied for this injury.

Helpless, because now the alliance does not allow inexplicable rotations, so this long away game can only bring Qin Yan with him.

"If I knew this, I wouldn't have acted." Qin Yan felt quite depressed, because of his "fraudulent injury", he called his family several times to explain, after all, the father and the old man had poisonous eyes, and as far as Qin Yan's slow motion was played, people knew that it was okay at a glance.

Of course, this kind of fraud was scolded by his own mother so much that it was a bloody dog, if it weren't for the confirmed news that her son was fine, Qin Yan's mother might have rushed directly from home to San Antonio.

Therefore, after pretending to be injured once, he didn't get any benefits, and he was still counted down by all kinds of people, and now he is still playing a long-distance away game with the team, if it weren't for the fact that this is what the head coach meant and he agreed at that time, Qin Yan would have been ready to scold.

"Qin, it's been a hard work."

Popovich naturally felt that it was a pity, he also planned to let Qin Yan rest for a week or two, but now it seems impossible, Qin Yan has to play a long-distance away game.

It can only be said that the Spurs' abnormal behavior this year should have attracted the attention of the league, in order not to lose the topicality and enjoyment of the game, it seems that the league will not let Qin Yan disappear from the field for too long, unless he really suffers a serious injury similar to George's direct reimbursement of the season.

"Alas, Qin can't do it, so who will play one next?" Popovich still did not give up his great cause of "deception", and a pair of big eyes swept over everyone except Qin Yan, sweeping over.

Since Qin Yan can't do it, then okay, I can always change someone, is it possible that your alliance still doesn't allow me to have injured spurs?

The other members of the Spurs were swept by Popovich's eyes, and they shivered unconsciously, what is the coach going to do? How it feels like he's trying to see through us.

After Qin Yan saw the coach's eyes on the side, he chose to sit silently and put on headphones to listen to music.

Well, who guy is going to be named to "act", you can ask for more blessings......

Atlanta.

This is the home of the Hawks, this season, under the command of former Spurs assistant coach Mike Bourhodenzer, the Hawks seem to have rejuvenated the glory of the NBA antiquity, mixed in the East that is the wind and water, and now has successfully occupied the second position in the East, and also tightly bites the first Cavaliers in the East!

Coach Bulhodenze deserves to be out of the Spurs system, he turned the Hawks into the Eastern Spurs this season, and brought the essence of team basketball to the extreme, relying on Horford, Millsap, Carroll, Korver and Teague such a starless starting lineup, and trampled most of the teams in the league under their feet, not to mention that the Thunder and Rockets in the top three in the West have lost to the Hawks respectively.

This season's Hawks are ready to make a big splash in the East.

The first game of the Spurs' long-distance away game was actually the Eagles, which seemed to be very difficult to bite.

"Playing Atalanta tonight, Qin can't play, so we have to change the starting lineup."

On the plane to Atlanta, Popovich and his teammates talked about their strategic deployment for the evening.

"Huh? Didn't Danny start in my place? Qin Yan was a little puzzled, what was the coach going to do? Do you want to change formations?

"Yes, Danny is still responsible for stealing points from the bench, and the starting lineup has to change." Popovich glanced at Qin Yan, this guy will honestly shut up if he doesn't play, there is so much nonsense.

After all, this guy has been with Spurs for a long time, and he is very familiar with Spurs' tactics, and if he doesn't make some changes, the game will not be good.

"Tony, Hassan and Thiem remain the same, and Kowai will play the number two position this time, no problem." Popovich said as he wrote something on the tactical board.

Leonard nodded and said there was no problem, anyway, his current style of play is also very much like a swingman, and there is no big problem in going to the second position.

"And then Kyle, you come to the number three."

Well? What did the coach just say? Who goes to the number three position?

Not Green or Barnes, Kyle? Which Kyle? Anderson?

"That's right, it's you, don't be stunned." Popovich named Anderson by name.

"Coach, I, I ......"

It may be that happiness came too suddenly, and Anderson himself didn't react, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Oh, Kyle, come on."

"That's it, Kyle, don't be ashamed at night."

"If you don't play well, I'll have to clean you up tonight."

The rest of the Spurs reacted quickly, and they came over one by one to encourage the little guy who was about to start the first game of the NBA, and there was no other emotion in his tone except ridicule and encouragement.

This is Spurs, everyone is a family, and there will never be an old man bullying a newcomer.

Popovich's substitution is also to try a new style of play, after all, Bulhodenze has been with the Spurs for a long time, and won the championship with the Spurs in 13 years, and he can be said to be very familiar with the Spurs' tactics or something.

At this time, it just so happens that Qin Yan can't play, and a new person will come on the field, which should slightly disrupt the tactical arrangement of Burhodenze.

And, to be honest, Popovich is quite optimistic about Kyle Anderson, this kid's physical talent is very good, and he also has an extremely weird rhythm of ball control, as long as he cultivates well, this guy's future is limitless.

So, now that he has the opportunity, Popovich is naturally willing to train this kid.

Phillips Arena, the home arena of the Eagles.

"Coach, tonight against the Spurs, what do we need to pay attention to?"

Horford, the Hawks' biggest name at the moment, is having a small meeting with his coach, and the others are training on the training ground at this time.

"Just play our own characteristics, their Qin is not here, they have one less firepower point in this game, if we can seize the opportunity, it will be no problem to win tonight."

Because he is too familiar with the Spurs' routine system, he is not too worried, many people say that the Eagles are copycats this season, but Bulhodenzer wants to prove tonight that copycats can sometimes kill the genuine version!

However, when the starting line-ups of both teams stood on the floor of Phillips Arena that night, Coach Burhodenze almost threw his tactical board to the ground!

What the heck! Who can tell him, who is the new No. 1 of the Spurs with a cute face?!
