NBA: No. 1 Forward

Then I saw Lian Dao going to the basket, and then dunking against the inside double team.

"Rookie, let me see your defense, was someone defending me just now?"

Lian Dao was still chattering, the more expressionless Leonard was, the more Lian Dao wanted to tease him.

But this guy still had a paralyzed face, and he turned a deaf ear to Lian Dao\'s trash talk.

The Spurs were not to be outdone, and the demon knife was unsheathed again, and returned a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

And Lian Dao also responded directly on the offensive end, two steps away from the three-point line, taking advantage of Leonard\'s inattention, he suddenly cast a cold arrow.

A super long three-pointer hit!

After this ultra-long three-pointer hit, Popovich stood up and made a gesture to the players on the court.

After the Spurs players saw it, they fell silent and rejoined the offense.

Or Manu Ginobili!

The Argentine demon knife seems to never grow old. The classic European step hits the basket again.

When laying up, his body twisted like a water snake, not slippery, but very deadly.

Flexibly avoided Cousins\' interference, and scored with the basket.

In the transition between offense and defense, Leonard is still close to him this time.

Lian Dao just smiled at this. If it was Leonard at his peak, Lian Dao might not be able to get rid of it easily.

However, Leonard\'s current defense is too immature.

Double disguised, accelerated, passed easily, and Lian Dao, who hit the basket, thought it was an easy score again.

But as soon as he made a layup, he was pulled down from the air by a thick guy.

Fortunately, Lian Dao had enough strength to control his body, so no accident happened.

It was James Anderson. After he fouled, he directly raised his hand and admitted that he had fouled.

But Lian Dao\'s teammates did not choose to let him go, and immediately surrounded him.

This kid is obviously not running for the ball, but for people.

However, the referee also responded in a timely manner and separated the players from both sides.

But only gave Anderson a common foul.

This foul obviously did not satisfy D\'Antoni. The opponent\'s behavior was obviously very bad, at least it was a technical foul.

But this is at the AT&T Center, and the home whistle is obviously biased.

Even De\'Anton protested to no avail.

However, D\'Antoni also saw the signs in an instant, the old man Popovich was uneasy and kind.

This old guy, changing to the bench is to compete with the Knicks\' main force!

Even if they are suspended, their side is a substitute player who does not have much impact on the team.

But as long as one of the Knicks is injured, they will earn blood.

Especially if he can kill Lian Dao, it will definitely make a lot of money for this old man.

After D\'Antoni saw the signs, although he was unwilling, he did not choose to be angry with Popovich.

The other party clearly wants to hit your porcelain with an earthen jar, even at the expense of both sides.

Anyway, porcelain is more precious than crock pots, and even the Spurs have two players who can\'t be called crock pots.

Because that\'s directly Popovich being called up from the G League to do the dirty work.

In addition, this game itself is a back-to-back away game, the players are physically fatigued, and the risk of injury is much greater than usual.

If a few main players are injured, it will definitely be a disaster for the Knicks.

Moreover, about 4 minutes into the fourth quarter, the Knicks were still 26 points behind.

Therefore, after Lian Dao made the free throw, D\'Antoni replaced the main lineup and replaced them all with the substitute lineup.

If you don\'t obey the rules, I won\'t play with you anymore!

Popovich also replaced the pseudo-substitute Leonard, and the two sides officially entered garbage time.

…

Spurs, bench!

"After the fight, how do you feel?"

Popovich asked Leonard, who was paralyzed.

"Very strong, no, very strong, I am not his opponent!"

Leonard\'s expression remained unchanged, but his tone could reveal seriousness.

Especially the overwhelming sense of oppression that Lian Dao brought to him still makes him shudder.

"Hahaha, boy, there are not many people in the league who are his opponents. To score 83 points on the head of the Clippers\' Big Three is not something anyone can do!"

Popovich didn\'t blame Leonard for his poor defense, he knew Lian Dao\'s strength.

Moreover, put the responsibility for the poor defense on a rookie.

Although Popovich doesn\'t want to be skinny, he still can\'t do this kind of thing.

The reason why Popovich left the main force on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

I just want to force D\'Antoni to let Lian Dao play and let Leonard play against him.

Popovich trained Leonard as a surprise soldier to deal with players like Lian Dao and James.

Since it is used to deal with Lian Dao, Leonard must be familiar with Lian Dao\'s strength no matter what.

The previous explanations and videos are all just talk on paper after all, and only the actual duel on the court can feel the oppressive feeling of belonging to a superstar.

And Popovich is to let Leonard understand his opponent.

Only in this way can we set a goal in our hearts, a goal of catching up!

It has to be said that this old fox is really cunning, including the subsequent malicious foul tactics, which are also the foreshadowing of this old thing.

He wanted Leonard to have a clear understanding of his opponent, but he also didn\'t want to give up the victory he had achieved.

In this game, D\'Antoni lost completely!

"However, you can\'t do it now, but it doesn\'t mean you can\'t do it in the future. I am optimistic about you, Kawhi!"

Popovich used Lian Dao\'s hands to deal a blow to Leonard.

And Dumb Duncan, who understands Popovich\'s meaning well, naturally needs to give some encouragement at this time.

These two goods have a very clear division of labor.

However, Duncan patted Leonard\'s head and frowned secretly.

Why does this kid like dreadlocks so much?

But don\'t tell me, it looks pretty good with dreadlocks, it seems that I can try it in the future!

It\'s just that the braids are done, and the hair doesn\'t feel so good to the touch. Manu\'s hair is still the most sensitive.

Thinking about it, he couldn\'t help but look at Ginobili on the field.

Hey, it\'s a pity, Manu\'s hair quality is really bad, I can\'t help touching it.

Ginobili: Why don\'t you say your hands are poisonous?

The pampas eagle in the early years became the pampas vulture in an instant.

And Ginobili on the field suddenly felt a chill, he felt like he was being targeted by some prey.

Originally, he was sure of an empty basket, but he just didn\'t make progress.

Duncan: Huh? The hair is gone, why is the state still not working? Could it be that the buff has not been added enough?

Popovich: Manu, if you are still in this state next round, get out and calm down!

Manu Ginobili: Referee, can you send that dumb guy on the sidelines off the field? He made me take off.

…

In the end, the Knicks lost to the San Antonio Spurs 86:102.

In garbage time, the overall strength of the Knicks\' bench is still better than that of the Spurs.

Therefore, the lagging score has also caught up a lot.

The Knicks didn\'t have time to think about it after losing to the Spurs, because their road trip wasn\'t over yet.

Sometimes things are more likely to happen when you are most worried about what will happen.

Before D\'Antoni was still talking about the end of the season, the team must not have injuries.

But, sometimes, things just don\'t go according to people\'s wishes.

Stoudemire was injured in the away game against the Bucks.

When Stoudemire was fighting for rebounds he was hit by Drew Gooden and injured his knee, resulting in a missed game for about a month.

Stoudemire in history, Lian Dao remembers that he was also injured in March.

It\'s just that Lian Dao forgot what caused his injury. He only knew that he was injured around the end of March and missed about three weeks of games.

Originally, Lian Dao thought that his arrival would save Stoudemire from injury in this life.

But the sky did not fulfill the wishes of people, not only did not avoid it, but the injury was also advanced earlier.

Without Stoudemire, D\'Antoni is also very headache.

Although Stoudemire is not as good as last season this season, as a qualified starter at the fourth position, he still has no problems.

But now without Stoudemire, D\'Antoni can only mention Millsap to the starting position.

In fact, Millsap\'s progress this season is obvious to all.

Compared with Stoudemire, Lian Dao actually prefers to partner with Millsap.

Although Millsap is at a disadvantage in height, he dares to fight and fight hard. The most important thing is that he defends really hard! ,
