Chapter 130 Running in.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Spurs had already led by [-] points, but both sides were still on the court in regular rotation. It could be seen that both sides were eager to integrate the players they signed this season into their teams.

Butler singled out Matthews with three threats facing the frame. Like Xiaoka, Butler didn't like too fancy moves. He suddenly accelerated after his crotch, and slammed Matthews to the basket on the right.

Jordan let go of Mu Xiaobei and came to defend, but Butler found Mu Xiaobei with a ground pass, and Mu Xiaobei made a steady throw.

"Strong shot Butler, this ball was found very well. In Butler's previous career, this kind of finding was relatively rare. It can be seen that Butler is changing his style of play in the Spurs." Wang Meng said.

"Of course, it's not about sacrifice or not. It's a relationship of mutual benefit and win-win. It's just that this style of play will experience some pain for both sides. I just don't know how long this running-in period will last." Su Qun said: "But it doesn't seem like it will be long, because we always feel that Butler's court temperament is very similar to the Spurs' court temperament."

The Lone Ranger has changed from Walker as the main ball-holding point to Doncic as the main ball-holding point. It can be seen that they are also looking for a way to change the lineup.

Jordan made a pick-and-roll for Doncic in a high position. As the helm of the team, he did a better job than Walker. After all, Walker has never been known for organizing and controlling the rhythm.

But in a ball game, rhythm is particularly important.

The simplest of them, such as fast and slow, some teams are suitable for playing fast, and some teams are suitable for playing slow.

For example, the Warriors are suitable for playing fast, of course, they can also play slow.

For example, the Grizzlies and Nuggets are suitable for playing at a slow pace, because their defense is very strong, and they have Gasol Jr. or Jokic, a super floor center.

And a very good field control player clearly knows when to play faster, because at this time his team lineup is full of energy and feels hot, and also knows when to play slower, because at this time the opponent is about to start or His super scorer is gone.

This is very important, really, this is very important, any strong team has a player of this type, maybe he is not the core of the team, but his role cannot be ignored.

Such as Paul, James, and Dreaming Green.

Yes, Mu Xiaobei respects the athlete Drummond Green very much. In fact, many people respect this big-mouthed black man, because he looks rough and his skills are relatively rough, but he also has his delicate The place.

This is why Drummond Green, with his unremarkable talent, is based on the Warriors and even the entire NBA, was selected as an All-Star, and the reason why a big contract is at your fingertips.

After half-court, Coach Carlisle re-established Doncic's tactical status and configuration, and also confirmed Walker's role. One of them is the helm of the team, and the other is the team's attacker, just like Janeway , Jen Ou.

Yes, Carlisle wants to use Doncic and Walker to build the tactics and system of the Cavaliers and Heat. Of course, it cannot be exactly the same, because Doncic does not have the impact of James, but his shooting ability is better than James, and he has a very strong. Ball quotient, sense of smell and brains.

It seems that Carlisle had planned it long ago. Jordan Jr. is exactly what James' favorite insider was during the Heat and Cavaliers 2.0 period-the defensive end has extremely terrifying defensive deterrence, the offensive end can cut dunks, and can also pull out the space to shoot three. In a sense, he is more suitable for James than Love and Bosh.

As for low-post skills, it’s not important. Really, it’s not important. The best big man around James is the one who can shoot, defend, attack the inside and grab rebounds. In a sense, maybe Bosh and LeBron Foo was a bit of a waste of talent playing next to James.

This is not to say that James is bad, it's just that someone has to be sacrificed, and the person who sacrifices is often the third insider.

But Jordan doesn't have to sacrifice at all. The skills he possesses are exactly what James needs. That's why we say that Carlisle actually planned it long ago.

The most important thing is that Doncic does not need the ball as much as James, so the offensive end of the lineup will be more balanced, instead of relying on James' big bag and Irving's cold-blooded killer move at the last moment like the Cavaliers.

For coach Carlisle, the most surprising thing this summer is Dennis Smith. This young man with very strong physical fitness seems to have put a lot of effort into his three-pointers this summer. He has hit the ball so far. He scored five three-pointers, and his shooting percentage of five out of eight is quite good.

Now Carlisle is thinking about whether to take Powell out of the starting lineup and let Dennis Smith play the second position to add a little impact to the team.

Anyway, Dennis Smith is not that kind of traditional No. [-] position, so it is not difficult for him to play combo guard.

At the end of the game, although the Spurs had a relatively large lead in the third quarter, the fans on both sides were very satisfied.

Spurs fans saw Butler's changes, and imagined how strong the Spurs' starting lineup would be after Adelaide's return. Most importantly, the tacit understanding of this lineup is very good.

Mavericks fans have seen the hope of revival. If you carefully consider this immature lineup, you can see the ambition of coach Carlisle and the confidence of teammate Doncic's talent.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Lone Ranger 108:99 and won their first regular season victory.

This victory undoubtedly gave Spurs fans great encouragement. For domestic fans, many of them are reflected in their support for Mu Xiaobei's signature shoe, Mu Erdai.

Mu Xiaobei participated in the post-match interview with Butler.

"Hey Jimmy, what's your first game with the Spurs today?" the reporter asked.

"I'm very excited, really, this subverts my previous style of play. I have never scored so easily before." Butler said: "Our system is very mature, and our teammates are full of fighting spirit. Whether it's young or veteran, we have a complete lineup, listen man, we are definitely the favorites to win the championship."

"Hey Wood, how do you think the arrival of Butler has changed your positioning?"

"??? Doesn't he play the second position? I play the fifth position. His arrival has no effect on my style of play. How should I play or how should I play?" Mu Xiaobei looked puzzled. said.

A few seconds passed.

"I'm kidding, Jimmy is a really good player, his toughness, tenacity and big heart can bring a lot to the team, I think we are a match made in heaven, really, listen to this man, I think we are too Champion lineup." Mu Xiaobei said.
