Welcome you, please remember the address of this site :, mobile phone reading, so that you can always read the latest chapter of the novel "The Godfather of Basketball" ...

Commentary accidents, fans accidents, and even Popovich, who is calm enough, is a bit surprised or not prepared.

Deron's recovery is on the one hand, and the hard work and spirit of the players on the Nets are another.

When the first quarter hit 9 minutes, the score on the court was 19-23, and the Nets were only 4 points behind the defending champion.

Such a score is surprising, but it has earned enough respect for the Nets.

The most intuitive performance is that both of the commentators are analyzing the offense and defense system of this Nets, and they have made suggestions for the home team.

The two sides began to replace the substitutes. On the Spurs side, Cory Joseph, Ginobili, Belinelli, Aaron Baines replaced one after another.

On the Nets side, Livingston, Will Barton, Mike Scott and Jokic also replaced.

Both sides have a main force with four substitutes, the Spurs have a Duncan, the Nets have a Joe Johnson.

Duncan responded in the frontcourt, and Bellinelli was running the tactics, but Barton did a good job of defending the ball, continuously passing the pick-and-rolls and not giving Bellinelli a shot.

Duncan turned and played Scott after seeing it, then turned around and killed the basket.

Jokic quickly made up for the defense, but missed behind Baines, Duncan gave Baines a hit, and the latter easily dunked to score.

Whistles sounded at the scene.

At this time Frank shouted at the sideline to make Jokic slow down and pay attention to protect the basket.

Jokic's defense is not his strong point, and as a rookie, he still has a lot to learn on the defensive end.

The Nets' offense in the frontcourt was the same as it was at the start, and Jokic responded with a high ball.

Joe Johnson's air cut, Jokic cheated Belinelli with a passing fake, and also deceived Baynes behind him. He turned around and made a quick layup. The ball goes into the basket.

The fidelity of the fake action, the decisiveness of the turn and the stability of the layup. As a heavy inside player with a height of 2.0 meters and 250 pounds, the naked eye is full of talent, and he must be only 19 years old.

The ball looked at Popovich on the sidelines.

As Duncan grows old, he desperately needs an inside successor. Jokic just saw him drool for a while.

"Tim, the 4th tactic." But despite his saliva, he got up and shouted to Duncan.

After hearing that, Duncan would appreciate it. After the frontcourt signaled his teammates to pull away, he reached for the ball by Scott in the low post.

This is a low singles tactic in the fourth position.

Scott is a big man who can shoot three-pointers, but defense and confrontation are his weaknesses. Even facing the old Duncan, he can't help it.

Duncan turned and then slammed into the basket.

Jokic fluttered a little slower this time, and stretched his long arms when Duncan was about to take a shot.

However, the distance of the ball is too close, so that the interference of Duncan with his outstretched arms is limited, and Duncan's short-range wiper steadily sends the ball into the basket.

"Rate him! Risk him!" Kidd shouted anxiously this time.

"He has a lot to learn on the defensive end." Jones couldn't help talking after watching two consecutive rounds.

"Yes, but this is what he must learn, and he can learn too." Tang Tian nodded, then said.

The cornerstone players will not be too weak after playing. Although Jokic's defense is weak now, physical conditions are here. It is only a matter of time before training. This is something Lopez can't match.

The game on the court continued, Jokic's frontcourt organization was seen through, and finally he was forced to return the ball to Joe Johnson. As a result, a mistake occurred and the ball was passed out of bounds.

After returning to the defensive end, Ginobili's perimeter misalignment singled out him, and the drifting hit again.

After the Spurs came up in the second quarter, they played the Nets 6-2.

"Are we asking too much of him?" Jones reluctantly said at this time.

A rookie, is a second-round show, or a second-round show from Europe. Generally, in the first season, he mainly learns at the end of the bench. However, Jokic played the first inside lineup. It was the Spurs that played, and it was a bit difficult to start.

"No, he needs this. What I need is a fast-growing cornerstone, not a flower in a greenhouse." Tang Tian said lightly.

At the time, Mark Gasol could do it. Jokic was no less talented than him. Naturally, he could do it, or he couldn't do it.

While talking, Johnson missed a three-pointer, but Jokic pressed Barnes to grab an offensive rebound with his long arm and gave it back to outside line Livingston. The Nets got a second chance to attack.

Although learning and progress are needed, talent is really visible.

Driven by Ginobili and Diaw, the Spurs took advantage of the bench.

At halftime, the sideline score was 52 to 40, and the Spurs had a 12-point lead.

Jokic's half-time performance was a bit bad. He played all seven minutes of the connection phase, but made 1 of 3 shots and only scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. There were 2 turnovers. The defensive end was also targeted a bit miserably.

This kind of performance made Kidd not send him in the second half, Lavoi Allen replaced his rotation position, although the latter did not have any bright performance, but the performance of the penalty area and the protection of the rebound is significantly better.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Nets 98-88 at home, welcoming their first win at home.

Although they lost, the Nets played respectably enough. A 10-point difference is enough to explain everything.

Deron performed well, scoring a team-high 22 points with 8 of 16 shots, plus 4 rebounds and 8 assists. Yi Jianlian scored 16 points and 6 rebounds. Lopez had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Substituted Button also got 13 points and 4 rebounds ~ www.readwn.com ~ Jokic also ended his nba debut, 7 minutes, 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assists and 2 turnovers.

Such figures are obviously not satisfactory.

When he walked towards the player's channel at the end of the game, his head was low, and his mood was a bit low.

"Let's go to the locker room." Tang Tian stood up from the auditorium at this time.

Jones walked down behind him.

Tang Tian arrived in the locker room, first gave Kidd and the team members a very positive affirmation, and then pulled Jokic alone to the player channel.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, my performance was terrible and disappointed you." Tang Tian's love for Jokic is beyond words, not only the management knows, the coaching staff knows that Jokic himself knows it, but he is now Tang Tian messed up things.

"Is it because you made me nervous at the scene?" To his surprise, Tang Tian acted very easily, and he said that with a semi-joking tone.
