Chapter 112
In the next round, Doncic forced the Spurs inside, but was blocked by Wembanyama, and at the moment when he was about to be blocked by Wembanyama, Doncic tried his best to throw the ball into Bullock's hands.
Bullock didn't even dare to catch the ball before making a shot, but jumped up to receive Doncic's pass, and then threw the ball directly into the basket in mid-air to score the ball.
Otherwise, once Bullock catches the ball like the other players and then gets up again, there is a good chance that Wembanyama will react and then turn around and treat him to a hot pot.
This point, in Wood's body, Bullock has already confirmed.
In the Spurs' offensive round, Wembanyama still maintains a hot hand, or the current situation on the court is completely a hook practice on the training ground for him. It's impossible for the Mavericks' interior to defend him alone, and the other players don't see any intention to help pinch him.
This also made Wembanyama like a fish in water on the inside line of the Mavericks, and completed scoring again and again without a trace of pressure.
However, the Spurs' score has never been too far apart from the Mavericks. While Wembanyama hit almost every shot, Irving and Doncic also shot fairly high three-pointers today. Doncic, in particular, can often hit some forced three-pointers in the face of Chang Tiancheng's defense.
In this way, although the Mavericks are not as efficient as the Spurs, they will most likely get three points for their shots, and they can barely maintain the score.
This continued until the end of the second quarter.
Because the halftime was longer than the first quarter, in order to avoid what the fans said to Popovich, they felt that there was something unnatural between themselves and Yin Tianyi, which would cause trouble, Chang Tiancheng took the initiative to find Yin Tianyi this time. After squatting down in front of Yin Tianyi, Chang Tiancheng looked at the camera on his side and showed the camera the wrist that Yin Tianyi had just put on for him.
This body language naturally won bursts of cheers from the audience, and soon they forgot about Chang Tiancheng not finding Yin Tianyi in the first quarter before.
At the start of the third quarter, Popovich changed his lineup again, sending out his bench lineup, but replacing Collins with Wembanyama inside.
Mainly because Wembanyama did not use much physical energy at all in the second quarter of the game, so he can continue to play, and this time he will face a defender who is an experienced defensive warrior - McGee, under McGee's pressure, Wembanyama will not be able to score as easily as before.
Chang Tiancheng watched Wembanyama on the court and kept singled out McGee on the inside, although the efficiency has declined compared to before, but he can still keep the shooting rate at about 60%, which means that Wembanyama has actually grown into a very reliable interior player on the offensive end.
"Chang, what do you think of Victor?" Popovich suddenly asked in Chang Tiancheng's ear.
"Does Victor still use evaluation? Could it be that you are still not satisfied with his growth rate? Chang Tiancheng smiled, he didn't know how to evaluate the current Wembanyama. Since Wembanyama entered the NBA, he has been improving almost every day, like a sponge frantically absorbing water.
"Of course he has to improve quickly, otherwise, be careful that I trade him." Popovich smiled slyly.
Of course, Chang Tiancheng knew that he was joking, no matter how the team could not trade Wembanyama, so Chang Tiancheng also chose to respond to Popovich with a joke: "Then I have to work hard, I have to be careful not to be tied up with him." "
Hahahaha." Popovich was amused by Chang Tiancheng's words, "But, seriously, Chang, I feel like I haven't seen you on the training ground for a long time."
"Really? How do I feel like I've only taken a leave of absence once? Chang Tiancheng said this, but he actually knew in his heart that he did rarely run to the training gym compared to last season.
The main reason is, of course, because of the awakening of the system, and the training in the training gym does not allow the system to be upgraded, but is easy to increase the risk of injury, so of course he has to minimize training to ensure his health.
For him now, watching the game footage at home is more able to improve the game than training in the training gym, which can also help him play better on the field, so as to upgrade his system. It's a virtuous circle.
However, for the team, Chang Tiancheng suddenly changed from a training gym rat to a person who trains like a big card to work, which is indeed a little doubtful.
"Chang, although I agree with you to rest a lot, don't be too lazy." Popovich said in a slightly more serious tone.
"Don't worry, coach, I know it in my own heart." Chang Tiancheng turned his head to look at Popovich and said with a serious expression, "Victor also said that if you want to win the championship as quickly as possible, in fact, I have the same idea as him." "
Oh?" Popovich deliberately showed a curious expression, "How I don't know, you say come and listen."
Chang Tiancheng almost wanted to roll Popovich's eyes, but of course he didn't dare to do it: "Coach, you said before that we want to win the championship in three years, right?"
Popovich nodded: "It's a matter of a while."
"I think three years is still too long, and neither Victor nor I want to wait that long." As he spoke, Chang Tiancheng stretched out a finger, "One year, we want to win this damn championship this year."
Popovich was shocked by Chang Tiancheng's words, although he has a high level of trust in the core of these two teams, but to say that they can win the championship this year, Popovich feels a little reluctant.
"Coach, don't doubt it, we can do it." Chang Tiancheng saw the disbelief in Popovich's eyes, and took the initiative to say, "Look at Victor, in just a few games, he can improve so much, let him play until the end of the season, and he will definitely be able to grow into a superstar-level insider."
"Of course, I'll grow up with him, and everyone thinks it's a rare thing to win a championship, but I just want to prove that it's not that difficult to be a champion."
After Chang Tiancheng finished speaking in one breath, he couldn't believe what he said.
