In the eight preseason games, **Vitch mainly focused on honing their lineup. The first game was held in China. The opponent was last season's finals opponent, the Miami Heat.
It was originally just a simple preseason game, but because of the extraordinary performance of the two teams, it received unprecedented attention. CCTV broadcast it live, making this originally not too intense game almost look like the finals.
The eighth game is average.
Of course, many people actually want to see that the Miami Heat failed to defend their title last season. They naturally hate the Spurs. The Spurs seemed to have made some changes during the offseason. Many people
Having said that, the Spurs are already preparing for the future of the team.
"This game, actually! In the final analysis, it is a preseason game. What we need to see is what changes will happen on both sides. For example, whether the Heat's newly signed Lewis, one of the original SuperSonics twin stars, can replace the Lightning Strikers.
-Miller, after all, Miller's performance last season was considered a god."
Another signing of the Heat is Michael Beasley, who almost no one cares about. Everyone wants to see if the Heat can really turn decay into magic and turn these two guys who have almost been eliminated from the league.
, pulled back from the edge of 'death'.
Corresponding to this is the Spurs. The Spurs dismantled the championship lineup during the offseason. They retained China Chen, one of the biggest contributors to last season's championship.
Immediately afterwards, they sent away Split and exchanged for Favors, who had better physical fitness. As a result, the Spurs' lineup became younger and their physical fitness improved to a higher level.
If we look at the starting lineup of Favors, Leonard, Danny Green, Chen Feng and Mills, plus **Vic! This lineup is actually not weaker than most teams in the league.
But without GDP, the Spurs would never be able to successfully defend their title.
Basketball is played by five people, especially in this era! Super stars are needed, but in the Spurs, this role has been infinitely weakened.
Now, Chen Core's affairs have been spread out, and everyone wants to see if **Vitch can make Wesley Johnson, Belinelli, and Favors into the best players since Chen Feng.
Good helper.
At the beginning of the game, the Spurs' starting lineup was still the same players from last season. From Parker and Chen Feng on the back line to Danny Green, Leonard, and Duncan on the forward line, they were all players from last season.
The hero who won the championship.
"The game has begun. The Spurs are now slowly transitioning from the aging Parker to the young A Feng. Let's see first how far they can go!" Su Qun said.
Yang Jian, who was standing next to him, also said: "Looking at the Spurs' lineup! Sometimes I am suddenly shocked. There are three finals MVPs in one starting lineup! Hehe. This lineup is really impressive!
"
Both sides are honing their lineups, and the starting lineup is almost to allow their respective players to regain the familiar feeling of the game. There is no doubt about this!
Finally, it was the second lineup. With three minutes left in the first quarter, the long-anticipated lineups of both teams came up.
The Spurs' lineup is Favors, Wesley Johnson, Diaw, Bellinelli and Chen Feng! **Vicci just wants to see how much the Chinese Chen can bring out the full potential of such a lineup.
The Heat seem to have the same plan, with James leading Michael Beasley, Lewis, Ray Allen, and Birdman Anderson. In this lineup, James, who is tall and powerful, acts as the point guard.
, but in the same position as Chen Feng.
Compared with the time in the finals, the relationship between James and Chen Feng is quite friendly now! It is not like all the fans imagined, but it is not as tense as soon as they meet!
"Chen, we meet again!" James said as he faced Chen Feng while dribbling the basketball.
"Of course! I hope we can meet on that stage again in June this season!" Chen Feng replied.
Finals appointment?
These two guys are really quite confident!
James smiled: "Hey, Chen! Let's see now, whose lineup is stronger?"
The implication of James is very simple, that is, both teams have new players. Now! James regards Chen Feng as a player of the same level as himself, so the showdown between them will start from now on, from this moment on.
, bring some new players to see who has the strongest fighting ability.
After James finished speaking, he made a violent crushing breakthrough. Chen Feng's defense was very good! But faced with this combination of technology and violence, Chen Feng was still unable to stop him and was killed by James.
Favors is a good player and a big man who blocks shots very well. As soon as he saw James come in, he immediately went over to cover, but he came out too early and left too much space behind him.
, it is impossible for him to turn around and defend in the first place.
Sure enough, as an all-around small forward, James would not give up this opportunity. He immediately passed the ball with an underhand pass and handed the basketball to the birdman Anderson under the basket. Anderson dunked with both hands.
Looking back, Chen Feng was also faced with James' defense. He and James focused on completely different styles of play. One used strength, while the other used absolute speed.
Chen Feng broke through, and Wesley Johnson stood far outside the three-point line! And Michael Beasley's own defensive awareness was not very good. When he saw that Chen Feng had passed James, he immediately shrank back, and Chen Feng
Feng Ze immediately passed the basketball to Wesley, who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the outside line.
Chen Feng can almost guarantee that if Danny Green is standing in this position! The ball has already been taken. Whether it goes in or not, Danny Green has already taken the shot.
But after Wesley Johnson received the basketball, he was looking for someone immediately. Such a hesitation! James had already pounced on Chen Feng and handed it over to Johnson. It must be said that James has a strong defensive awareness.
Even for such a Heat team, their rotation defense is still very fast.
Chen Feng shook his head and immediately ran out from the inside. Naturally, Beasley couldn't keep up with Chen Fengfeng's running movements. Wesley Johnson didn't even dribble the ball at this time. James was pressing him, watching.
Chen Feng ran out of position and reached for the ball. He immediately handed the basketball over like a hot potato.
Chen Feng catches the ball and takes action immediately!
Three point shot!
After all, this game is a preseason game, and the lineups of both sides are not very strong, and they are almost not fully integrated into the team's tactics.
When Chen Feng ran to Wesley Johnson, like an old bird, he patted Johnson's butt: "Man! Take the shot when you have the chance. Don't be afraid if you don't make the shot, just be afraid of not making the shot!"
After saying that, he smiled and then motioned for Wesley Johnson to return to defense!
Johnson was a little dazed. He was also a blockbuster in college and was selected into the league with the fourth overall pick in the draft.
But in the past few years, his edges have long been smoothed away, and he is not a high-profile person. In several teams such as the Timberwolves, he initially thought about training hard and polishing his skills, and then
Get ahead.
But slowly, he became a guy who was hardly even a role player. This was not proportional to his talent at all, but there was no way. He had no status in the team. He was afraid of being scolded by the coach and yelled at by his teammates.
.
The Spurs are known throughout the league as a very disciplined team. **Vitch and even Parker and Duncan can ignore them and have to be kicked off if they don't play well.
He is naturally afraid that if he doesn't play well, he will still be a substitute for ten thousand years. Then after a season of confusion, he will completely fade out of the league!
But looking at the kid in front of him who is much younger than himself, who has only used two seasons to get honors that many people can't get in their lifetime, he is encouraging himself!
Johnson naturally knows what is happening in the team! The Spurs are building momentum for this guy now, and he is encouraging himself! If he performs well, can he become a good player? Even a role player!
Wesley Johnson felt that he had missed an opportunity to perform! But it didn't matter. He glanced at the expressionless **Vitch below the court. Johnson began to defend Beasley desperately. Although he was not heavy enough, he had speed and bounce.
It makes up for this very well.
Looking at Beasley who turned to shoot, Johnson rushed forward with all his strength. Finally, he heard the sound of "Peng", and then turned around as quickly as possible. At this time, Favors on the inside pressed the Birdman and picked up the basketball.
Coming over, Johnson subconsciously grabbed the basketball.
When he passed the basketball to Chen Feng, he saw **Vicci off the court and nodded slightly. He felt that he still had many advantages. Otherwise, **Vicci would be like this
Why would the coach nod?
Although he has no confidence on the offensive end, on the defensive end, Wesley Johnson is almost working hard. Every time he succeeds in defense, he will find that Chen and the fat man Boris will encourage him.
In the second lineup competition, Chen Feng was completely defeated!
But he smiled very happily, and it turns out that Bellinelli can adapt well to the Spurs, and Wesley Johnson is very talented on the defensive end. Judging from the shooting hand shape, he can also be regarded as a shooter.
But **Vitch is not satisfied, not with Wesley Johnson, but with the big man Favors. He signed such a big man not just to grab rebounds or something.)
