NBA: The strongest talent

Popovich didn’t say much, just burst out laughing.

The same goes for D’Antoni.

When the audience next to them saw this scene, they were all confused.

The game on the field was so intense, but the coaches on both sides were talking and laughing off the field.

Which play is this?

However, the two immediately turned around and returned to their team’s place, but the smile on their faces immediately disappeared.

Back on the field, Yang Xu’s performance continued.

Ginobili thought he couldn’t prevent Yang Xu, so he switched defenders with Jefferson.

But Jefferson is also completely inadequate.

Yang Xu accelerated and directly left Jefferson behind.

Came to the inside line, moved sideways with a super hand layup.

Rebounds hit.

On the next ball, Yang Xu easily passed Jefferson in disguise, and hit the free throw line position.

In the blink of an eye, the difference between the two sides did not widen to 8 points.

It was not possible to continue like this, and Popovich immediately asked for a replacement.

And after he made a request for substitution, he also shouted at the court: “Foul, hurry up and give me a foul!” ”

He could no longer allow Yang Xu to continue to be so unscrupulous, and he had to change people immediately.

Sending in GDP, it would be somewhat better to have Duncan’s defense on the inside.

The main thing is the offense, and in the few offensive rounds after Yang Xu came on, the Spurs did not score.

No points, but no winning.

The Spurs players heard the old man’s yell, did not dare to delay anything, and immediately held the people around them to foul.

Yang Xu was still thinking about how to attack, and just about to start, he heard a whistle.

“What’s going on?”

He picked up the ball and looked around.

I saw Bonner hugging Jeffries on the inside.

D’Antoni immediately looked to the Spurs bench, where Duncan and Mark were already equipped on the substitution.

“Can’t wait?” D’Antoni immediately complained inwardly.

Immediately after that, he also made personnel adjustments.

The two sides once again fielded the starting lineup.

But at this time, Yang Xu could not be suppressed at all.

Even if it is a two-person bag, he can break through the defense before the bag is formed.

Yang Xu’s speed looked like a bolt of lightning on the field.

It’s up to others how they block and catch up.

They were several beats slower than Yang Xu.

But the Spurs’ offense has always maintained its own rhythm, and under the leadership of GDP, it has played smoothly.

At halftime, the Knicks led the Spurs 62-50.

In the second half, the pace is basically similar to the first half.

Neither side could prevent anyone, and even though the Spurs knew that Yang Xu was going to attack, they were helpless.

And the Spurs, on the other hand, played the team cooperation to the extreme.

However, at this time, the GDP is no longer at its peak, and there are really physically strong players in the team who interfere with Yang Xu.

Finally, at the final whistle, the Knicks scored 116-104 against the Spurs.

Yang Xu played 33 minutes, shooting 17 of 24, 7 of 7 from the free throw line, 4 of 8 from three-point range, and easily cut 45 points, plus 8 assists.

D’Antoni immediately walked up to Popovich’s side and shook his hand.

“It’s a little embarrassing that we won this time!”

Who knew that Popovich lost the game, but his mouth was still sharp.

“It’s nothing, wouldn’t it be more embarrassing that we won so many times!”

If it had been before, D’Antoni would have been absolutely angry half to death.

But now he won’t, because he has Yang Xu, as long as Yang Xu is there, they will definitely not win just one game.

D’Antoni smiled, “Why mention it in the past?” We don’t always live in the past! ”

After speaking, he turned around proudly.

Leaving Popovich angry gritted teeth.

I didn’t expect him to have such a day, but he also had fun.

The Knicks were able to pick up such a super player, which turned the Knicks from a fishbelly team into a strong team.

Last season’s Knicks were actually not very weak, and there were many players with characteristics on the team.

But the main thing is missing a superstar, the attacking core.

Everyone is almost siloed and not active in defense.

That’s why it ended up being the last countdown to the west.

But this season, because of Yang Xu’s arrival, the team directly established his core position.

All tactics also revolved around Yang Xu.

In this way, the characteristics of other players in the team are further amplified.

Robinson, Gallinari, and Chandler all had a good three-point shot.

became Yang Xu’s shooter group, so that the defensive players did not dare to easily wrap Yang Xu.

And the inner line also became easier because of Yang Xu’s relationship.

The main thing is that the Knicks now seem to be a changed team, and everyone’s eyes are full of desire to win.

This is something that the previous Knicks did not have.

In the post-match interview, Popovich also did not hide his appreciation for Yang Xu.

“Yang Xu is a magical player, because of his existence, this Knicks has become completely new!”

“He’s playing well every game and the main thing is that he can lead this team to victory!”

“I like him so much that if I went back in time, I would even be willing to put it out for him for a year!” Hahaha…”

Humorous words, coupled with funny expressions, the old man’s answer immediately amused the reporters present.

Although it was a joke, everyone believed that he was telling the truth.

No team in the league can resist the temptation of a superstar, and neither can the Spurs.

For Duncan’s sake, the Spurs decisively chose to swing.

In the end, he was selected to win Duncan, and since then he has entered the Duncan era.

He believes that if the Knicks do not do it, it is likely to enter an era of Yang Xu.
