The world of basketball

Chapter 21 The deal is reached
Gentry still replaced Davis. He felt that if this continues, this brand new Spurs may blow up his painstakingly managed team.

The defense of this Pelicans team is indeed a little weaker, even with Davis as the last barrier, but even a lineup like Mu Xiaobei plus Ade, Belinelli, and Kuzma can't defend .

With Davis plus Mirotic and Holiday, the offensive firepower and defensive level of this combination are already good, but the defense of other players on the team is not very good.

"The current form is on the Spurs' side," Su Qun did not expect that the Spurs, which is short of major generals, can play like this against the Pelicans: "But in the second half, the Spurs may have some players we are not familiar with. People who the Spurs can use Not many."

"However, it is said that the Spurs are trying their best to find a deal. Teacher Su, what do you think of these?" Wang Meng asked.

"The Spurs are looking for players who are in a bad situation but have great potential and strength, such as Mudiay and Jeremy Lin. They are strengthening the lineup."

"What role do you think Mudiay could play if the Spurs got him?"

"Mudiay is a combo guard, but Lonnie Walker should be the main No. 30 position. Mudiay is likely to replace Belinelli as the team's starting No. [-]." Su Qun analyzed: "As for Shu Hao Coming to the Spurs should be to play the role of the sixth man on the bench, after all, Shuhao is [-] years old, and the starter should be reserved for the younger Lonnie Walker."

Su Qun and Wang Meng were chatting, and Davis made the dunk.

Turning around, Mu Xiaobei received a pass from Mills. At this time, Mu Xiaobei was facing Mirotic behind him, which was considered a misalignment, so Mu Xiaobei chiseled behind him.

Then he turned around and hopped Mirotic, and Mu Xiaobei put his left arm against the flying Mirotic, and put the ball in with his right arm.

At the same time, "beep—"

The referee blew the whistle and it was 2+1.

The free throws were made steadily, so far Mu Xiaobei has not missed a free throw.

Holiday failed to make a strong shot in singles, and the Spurs attacked Kuzma and succeeded in an air cut layup, which came from the supporting offense of Mu Xiaobei's horn position.

Randall missed a mid-range jumper, and Belinelli made a strong three-point shot-Belinelli had already made a good shot in this quarter, and the ball just now was a strong shot against Holiday.

Davis tilted his body in the air and scored, which was a goal for the Pelicans to stop the bleeding.

But turning around, Mu Xiaobei received a pass from Kuzma along the way, and the midline top turned around and made a layup.

Holiday distributed the ball to Clark, who missed a three-pointer.

Mu Xiaobei scored to Kuzma, and Kuzma made a mid-range emergency stop jumper.

"The Pelicans are playing a bit difficult here, and their outside players feel lost. Mr. Su, what do you think the Pelicans should do if they want to reverse the decline?" Wang Meng asked.

"I think they need to teach the ball to Davis as much as possible on the offensive end, and try to create misplaced opportunities for Davis as much as possible." Su Qun said.

The Spurs' lineup is relatively new, but the players in the lineup have integrated quickly and can play well together.

At this time, there were 3 minutes left before the end of the first half, and the score came to 55:36. The Spurs led the Pelicans by [-] points, and the Pelicans requested a timeout.

"Good job Wood," Gasol smiled, and patted Mu Xiaobei's head. Well, Mu Xiaobei is much taller than him, and he usually raises his hand when he pats Mu Xiaobei's head, but now when Mu Xiaobei There is no need to do it in the north.

"Okay, big man. When I come back, we will form a super duo and fight all over the world." Lonnie Walker, who was sitting on the bench, said with a smile.

"I'm your big brother." Kuzma said with a straight face.

Gasol and Ade looked at the group of playboys, with smiles on their faces, and they didn't know what they thought of.

"Next, Paul, go play with Drew to stabilize, don't take it lightly, Wood, you and Kyle take a break together, and you will play again in the second half." Popovich said: "Again, don't take it lightly, the strength of the Pelicans is very strong , They just didn’t open up the outside touch tonight, so we still have to do our best.”

The competition in the Western Conference is more intense this year. The Warriors and Rockets are naturally the top two teams. The remaining Trail Blazers, Jazz, Nuggets, Thunder, Timberwolves, Pelicans, and even the Lakers and Lone Rangers are all competing for the playoffs. strong team.

The Spurs need to make it to the playoffs as much as possible, and they need to rank better in the regular season, so as to avoid facing the two superpowers of the Brave Fire in the first round of the playoffs.

"Every game in the regular season is crucial, and every game needs to be played well." Popovich said: "Go on."

Back from the timeout, Gasol and Aldridge are both elderly players, so Davis scored several goals in a row, but the three-pointers and breakthroughs of Gay and Belinelli also helped the Spurs keep the score. Maintain a lead of around fifteen points.

Until the end of the second quarter, the Spurs led the Pelicans by 66 points 49:[-].

At the same time, the Spurs' office of the president of operations received news that the Knicks and the Eagles agreed to the Spurs' offer. The Knicks got the Spurs' Bortle and sent Mudiay, while the Eagles got the Spurs' Murray. The Spurs get Jeremy Lin and a second-round pick next year.

Then, the Spurs traded Mills Gadrick Whitega's second-round pick from the Pistons for Reggie Bullock, a two-meter-tall three-point shooter.

After the contracts and transactions of the three players are finalized, coupled with Lonnie Walker's comeback, the Spurs will be able to form a very good lineup.

Lonnie Walker, Mudiay, Kuzma, Alder, Mu Xiaobei.

Add Jeremy Lin, Belinelli, Bullock, Gay, Gasol to the rotation.

This lineup may not have so many stars, and there is even only one All-Star, but the depth of the lineup is also one of the best in the league.

More importantly, the potential of this lineup is also full. Mu Xiaobei and Lonnie Walker are first-year picks, Kuzma is only a second-year pick, Mudiay is a fourth-year pick, and they are all young people.

In terms of experience, Adelaide and Gasol are all-stars who have seen the big world. Gay and Belinelli are also very experienced veterans. The Mesozoic Bullock and Jeremy Lin are in their prime.

Popovich got news from the team in the locker room at halftime, but he didn't say anything. After all, Mills who was sent out had been with the Spurs for many years.

But for the sake of the team, many people will be sent out. Even Danny Green packed it and sent it to the Raptors with DeRozan?

Thinking about this very deep lineup, the most important thing is that except for Ade, the contracts of this lineup are not too big. If the salary space is a little more than the luxury tax, they should be able to eat the contract of a superstar next summer.

In this way, perhaps the revitalization of the Spurs will become much easier.
