"Oops, judging from the warm-up shots, Xiao Zhou's touch is still not back!"

In the Tencent studio, Director Zhang said with a worried look.

"Yes, but as the top pitcher, I believe Zhou Si can definitely regain his touch."

Looking at Ke Fan who still had full confidence in Zhou Si, Director Zhang shook his head involuntarily.

It would be fine if they faced other teams, but their opponent today is the Spurs.

Popovich will not easily let go of Zhou's poor touch.

At this time, the starting lineups of both sides were shown on the big screen.

For the Trail Blazers, they are still the regular starters.

Unlike the frequent adjustments to the starting lineup last season, this season the Blazers basically have a stable starting lineup of five, and the tacit understanding between the players has been greatly improved.

For the Spurs: Kyle Anderson and Danny Green partnered in the backcourt, Leonard and Duncan partnered up front, and Split guarded the penalty area.

"Hey, this Spurs starting lineup is a bit interesting." Coach Zhang commented after letting out a light sigh.

Trail Blazers coach Stotts frowned when he noticed Popovich's adjustment.

When things go wrong, there must be a monster, and Popovich likes to be a monster the most.

Kyle Anderson, known as "Slow Mamba", "Lord of Time and Space", and "The Creeping Essence of Humanity", his playing speed and movements are very slow.

It's obvious that Popovich wants to press the pace today and play a positional battle.

And putting Parker on the bench obviously means that Parker doesn't have to guard Lillard and can focus on unleashing his offensive talents.

"It seems that Popovich has lied again. He will obviously use the ideas provided by Van Gundy in this game." Director Zhang said.

"Yes, but I believe Zhou Si can break the shackles and kill the Spurs in one fell swoop!" Ke Fan followed up and said.

Director Zhang: ...It’s great to be young

In the Rose Garden Arena, Big McGee easily beat Split and won the opportunity for the Trail Blazers to attack first.

Lillard dribbled the ball across half court, stopped the ball at the top of the left arc, and observed the movement of his teammates.

Zhou Si kept covering the movement with his teammates.

"It is said that Leonard has lost weight. It is difficult for Xiao Zhou to have a chance to move without the ball!" Director Zhang analyzed.

Unlike the previous life where James was the imaginary enemy, Leonard's imaginary enemy in this life has obviously changed, which can be seen from the fact that he has lost weight to improve his ability to move without the ball.

In the Rose Garden Arena, the Trail Blazers fans were obviously nervous. This game was obviously not going to be easy!

Popovich smiled on the sidelines. The Trail Blazers have made progress this year, but with the growth of Leonard and Danny Green, their Silver Gray Army has become stronger!

Zhou Si went from the baseline to the top of the arc to catch the ball. Leonard stayed close to him, denying Zhou Si a chance to shoot.

Boom, boom, boom!

Zhou Si lowered his body and dribbled the ball to test.

The Spurs really didn't double-team!

Popovich, this bad old man, is indeed spreading suspicion.

Popovich couldn't help but be moved while watching Zhou Si's delightful dribbling from the sidelines.

It would be great if we could trade him for our team!

After a dribble, Leonard changed his death-winding style and stood firmly in front of him. Zhou Si quickly changed direction and broke through from the right.

Being too close, Leonard was naturally broken through.

However, he was not completely thrown away, but followed Zhou Si closely.

After losing weight, not only has his ability to defend against the ball become stronger, but Leonard's speed has also obviously improved.

After being passed by Zhou Si before, he couldn't see the taillights of Zhou Si's car.

After Zhousi passed Leonard, he dribbled the ball and observed the Spurs' movement.

Sure enough, there was no double-teaming or containment, Duncan and Split were firmly guarding the penalty area!

Zhou Si smiled slightly, did he really think that my mid-range shot was lost?

That’s a 99 mid-range shot!

Wow, one step inside the free throw line, Zhou Si kicked the ground handsomely, and completed the scissor kick in one go!

Take action!

Looking at the basketball spinning towards the basket, Zhou Si firmly grasped his right fist after landing!

"Bangdang..."

The basketball hit the frame and Duncan protected the backboard.

Zhou Si, who turned back to defend himself, was about to cry without tears.

Dog system, come out quickly, I suspect you have changed my shooting percentage!

Although Leonard's interference has given Zhou Si a certain amount of shooting pressure, and although the hit rate of the pull-up skill is not as high as that of open shots, this kind of shot was always a sure shot in the past.

In the Rose Garden Arena, the momentum of the audience was stagnant, and the missed goal was a bit hurtful.

The Spurs attacked, and Kyle Anderson dribbled the ball across half court after receiving a pass from Duncan.

By the time Kyle Anderson dribbled the ball to the 45° three-point line on the left, 10 seconds had passed.

No need to delay, this is the normal rhythm of a Time Lord.

He can always slow down his opponent's pace, and then use his rich slow-tempo experience to defeat his opponent.

This time it was Zhou Si who was defeated by him!

During the pick-and-roll between Anderson and Leonard, Zhou Si glanced at Anderson's player report before the game and knew that he could shoot three-pointers, so he stepped forward and delayed for a while before turning back to chase Leonard.

Although Leonard in this life was not as explosive as he was at the same time in his previous life due to his painstaking efforts in defense and offense, he still became the scoring leader of the Spurs and took over the torch of being the core of the offense from Parker.

This is why Popovich dared to put Parker on the bench.

Back to the game, after Zhou Si delayed Anderson for a while, Anderson chose to take action in the gap between Zhou Si's departure and Lillard's arrival.

"Whoa!"

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

3:0!

The Spurs took the lead.

Popovich smiled on the sidelines.

Don’t underestimate the newcomers!

Lillard was obviously a little unhappy after being hit a ridiculous three-pointer over his head by an unknown guy.

However, Lillard did not go directly to play singles. Instead, he chose to play tactics first and passed the ball to Zhou Si who circled to the top of the arc in the middle.

Zhou Si turned to Millsap in the corner on the left, and Millsap lobbed high to cover Lillard who circled the baseline and came to the low post on the left.

Unlike last season, even if they have to play in isolation this season, the Trail Blazers players will try their best to pass the ball through each player's hands, so that each player can feel the ball and not have cold hands when shooting.

Lillard turned to face Anderson, took a step forward, and used the rhythm to rush to the basket.

Although Anderson was not fast, he did not lose his position.

Duncan also came to help defend!

At this time, there was chaos under the basket. No one jumped at Lillard's fake shot, and then his ground pass was directly predicted and successfully intercepted by Leonard.

Spurs' quick counterattack!

Zhou Si stood in front of Leonard and didn't give him a chance to attack, but it was difficult for him to fight with two fists. Leonard assisted Danny Green and hit another three-pointer!

6:0!

The Spurs in the away game completely displayed their home momentum!

There was a commotion on the Spurs bench!

Today's game was easier than they imagined!

The Trail Blazers attacked and Zhou Si dribbled the ball across half court.

After a continuous crotch dribble, Zhou Si chose to forcefully step back and shoot a three-pointer!

He still doesn't believe it. He can't be inaccurate in the mid-range or three-point range!

Want to pinch me to shoot?

Watch me throw you to death!
Chapter completed!
