The world of basketball

Chapter 113 Let's fight!

The Spurs have a very strange phenomenon. For example, their starting No. 429 is Mudiay, whose annual salary this year is 1377 million US dollars, while the backup point guard is Jeremy Lin, whose annual salary this year is [-] million.

The annual salary of their backup No. [-] position is three times that of the starting No. [-] position, and many times they also use Jeremy Lin to play more at the end of the day, which is weird.

But Popovich has his own ideas. The Spurs' second team lacks a core, and when Jeremy Lin is on the court, he can lead the team as the absolute core on the court, and Jeremy Lin likes playing in the Spurs very much. He doesn't care too much about starting or coming off the bench.

And next summer their salaries will expire, and Mudiay will definitely not be reconciled to his annual salary of 500 million. He is already at the age where he needs to fight for a big contract.

As for Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lin, who averaged 17.7 points and 5.7 offenses per game this year, overwhelmed Rose (in fact, Rose was already starting for Teague in the second half of the game) and Jeremy Lin who won the best sixth man Jeremy Lin, who is only 30 years old this year and has entered the golden moment of a player, can at least get a contract of more than 150 million this summer.

The two almost shared the time of the Spurs' No. [-] position. Jeremy Lin played a little more time as a substitute than Mudiay.

What Jeremy Lin makes fans and teammates love the most is his superstar temperament-he can often bring extraordinary vitality to the team when the team is in desperation, and make the team survive from desperation.

But it is difficult for the Spurs to come back this time. In addition to their lack of their team's top scorer and core players, Adelaide's injury has cast a haze on the other players of the team.

Adelaide has been injured before, and the Spurs have also been greatly affected, but the Rockets are not the Lakers, and the Lakers have also given up DeRozan, and they are not considered a complete body.

But the Rockets, with a group of superstars, a system lineup that has been running in for a long time, and the best coach in the league, D'Antoni, they are worse than the Rockets is LeBron James.

The whole team, from the youngest Mu Xiaobei and Lonnie Walker, to the oldest Gasol, to the coach Popovich was a little depressed, and the most direct result of the mood was that they had already passed the halftime game. Fifteen points behind.

Jeremy Lin has the most stable mentality in the team. He has scored 21 points in the first half, and he made up for the vacancy of the Spurs team with sudden shots from inside and outside.

But what's the use?
Even James, given his distracted teammates, it is impossible for him to lead the whole team to beat the Rockets.

Popovich came back to his senses during the halftime break and followed his disciples doing ideological work.

But it was too late. The hole dug in the first half was too big. Although the second half was stalemate, the Spurs still failed to come back against the wind.

At the same time, a more bad news came.

Alder tore the cruciate ligament in his left knee and was reimbursed for the season.

In other words, Adelaide will not be able to play in the next game, and the Spurs can only rely on people other than Adelaide.

This is just bad news for the Spurs, and it is definitely very difficult news for Adelaide.

Because for him, this is an injury related to his career.

The cruciate ligament is torn. This injury is too famous. Both Knight and Rose have been severely repaired by this injury. However, Ade doesn’t know why the cruciate ligament can still be torn because he doesn’t like confrontation.

This season's reimbursement is certain, and it may even be uncertain when he will be able to return next season. Even if he returns, what level he can return to his peak period is a big question.

The 33-year-old power forward is not young anymore, and he is just at the tail end of a power forward's peak period. Once he is 35 years old, no matter how dominant an inside player is, he will be powerless.

Except for Duncan, of course.

Ade was in great pain. When Mu Xiaobei took Karlin to visit him, his mood was still very low. Mu Xiaobei chatted with him a few words to comfort him and then left.

Up to now, the Spurs are in a very difficult situation, because the Rockets have taken the lead in getting the match point and the Spurs lack their core players.

At the same time, Antetokounmpo and his Bucks have been defeated four-to-one. Although Antetokounmpo has evolved a lot compared to last season, and the Bucks have also made a lot of reinforcements, these evolutions and reinforcements After the comeback of Irving and Hayward and the full run-in with the Celtics, they seemed a little weaker.

On the Warriors and Nuggets side, Jokic's three-point lore allowed the Nuggets to pull another victory, and the battle with the Golden State Warriors became a two-to-two tie. The battle of Tianwangshan will be held at Oracle Stadium.

The Nuggets sent Mudiay away because Mudiay didn't shoot, and Jokic really needs an outside line with excellent shooting ability.

At this time, the Nuggets have already regarded Jokic as the cornerstone of the team, so they used Murray, who was not an excellent organizer but a super shooter in college, for the first position. The league's top 3D player Gary Harris.

But Mr. Yue is not an excellent killer, and Morrie and Harris around him prefer to play this role.

This ball is thrilling one after another, and it is a story about the confrontation between the strongest spear and shield in the league.

The most important thing is that this strongest spear has excellent defensive ability at the same time, and this strongest shield is also good at killing.

In addition, Thomas Jr., who was a surprise soldier on the bench, continuously attacked the Warriors' defense in the third quarter, catching the Warriors by surprise.

Anyway, the Warriors never expected that after meeting the Trail Blazers in the first round, they would encounter such a difficult Nuggets in the second round, which made them a little tired.

The 76ers are also a little uncomfortable. The Raptors just made another victory in Philadelphia and scored a big score of [-] to [-] to get the match point. It seems that it is a bit difficult for the Philadelphians to come back.

This year is the second year that Emperor Embiid and Simmons have formed a combination to lead the team. Last year's playoffs, their Royal Salute was blasted by the Celtics who lost Hayward and Irving. The Raptors led by Card still seemed helpless.

It seems that the emperor can't win without scoring more than 40 points.

As mentioned last time, after a team's core player has a shortcoming, his shortcoming will be magnified, especially in the playoffs, especially the shortcoming of lack of shooting ability from the outside.

The Great is very strong, but he is only Embiid after all, not to mention Duncan, even Bosh at the peak is still a little bit behind the Great, and although Ibaka is not at the peak, he has defended Duncan Bosh and other super insiders after all. Man, the emperor was a little uncomfortable being defended by Ibaka.

Not to mention the striker combination formed by Xiaoka and Siakam, of course Xiaoka needless to say, Siakam's growth is really unexpected by many people, and the slender Siakam has played an amazing performance.

Now the four games between the East and the West, except that the Eastern Green Army has won and the Raptors are sure, the two teams in the West seem to be a little confusing.

Today, the Spurs on the edge of the cliff returned to San Antonio to prepare to face the Houston Rockets.

There is no way to retreat, and we can only fight against the odds.

Go for it, lads.
