Popovich is always prudent when it comes to drafting, and if he doesn't find a treasure in the draft, he will lose his money.
Therefore, the Spurs can always surprise when it comes to second-round picks.
For him, the 37th pick is already very high, and Su Feng does not seem to be worth the price. After all, Tony Parker was only the 28th pick, and Ginobili was the 57th pick.
Can this rookie who can move a little bit and shoot well without the ball surpass these two?
Popovich was unimpressed.
Su Feng was entangled with RC Horford at this time. Horford has good physical fitness, extremely explosive power, and good strength and speed. He belongs to the physical fitness school in the NCAA, but his skills are very ordinary, mainly because his hands are too small, which is very inconsistent with his height of 195cm. In the game, the combination of man and ball is not good, and it is easy to drop the ball under high-intensity confrontation.
Bulls assistant coach Ron Adams doesn't like Su Feng's defensive skills. In his opinion, Su Feng's defensive skills are very ordinary and his physical fitness is limited. Why not focus all his energy on offense? You have to do such an inefficient thing.
The most important thing is that even though I mentioned it to him, he didn't listen. Of course, a newcomer with poor obedience must be put on the bench.
Otherwise, who will listen to his command in the future?
Adams was acting as coach for the first time, and his authority was great.
But now, Carl Wright is sitting on the sidelines, and he admires Su Feng's fighting spirit. He doesn't need to suppress players to assert his authority, and in his opinion, the team's two shooting guards, whether Jamal Crawford or Jalen Rose, are not good defenders.
Therefore, it is a good thing that Su Feng has shown such a strong desire to defend.
Horford quickly got the basketball. This BYU core guard has good physical fitness.
Under Su Feng's entanglement, he suddenly took a probing step forward, and his explosive power suddenly exploded.
The moment his talent was released, the explosive talent Su Feng absorbed from the little overlord Stoudemire also began to surge in his body. At that time, Su Feng absorbed 2 more points.
His explosive talent is improving rapidly.
Horford didn't realize it. He rushed in quickly with the ball and then changed direction.
He thought Su Feng would be fooled.
However, Su Feng's goal is not to completely lock him down, but to absorb talents through him.
Su Feng stalked the ball like a mad dog. He didn't guard the ball, he guarded the man.
Horford suddenly became confused. He quickly turned around quickly... As soon as he turned around, his agility talent was fully released. Su Feng's agility talent copied from the little flying squirrel Stoudemire was also fully filled, absorbing 2 points at that time.
Agility talent skyrocketed.
Su Feng was very happy.
He pounced again.
Su Feng's mad dog-like defense completely disrupted Horford's rhythm. He could only forcefully turn over and shoot a jump shot...the basketball shot directly out of bounds.
Three no-sticks.
"Nice defense."
Bill Carlwright applauded from the bench.
This made Ron Adams feel very uncomfortable. In this case, where does one's authority exist?
Su Feng is so hateful and has no respect for my suppression. Why is he so defensive and deliberately trying to embarrass me?
Adams is a narrow-minded person, and he dislikes Su Feng more and more.
Popovich frowned again in front of the TV. He said to his assistant: "This little guy's defense is a bit interesting. He defends people, not the ball. It kind of goes straight to the heart of defense."
The assistant nodded, thinking to himself: Is this rookie so good?
After changing sides and fighting again, Horford became angry and followed Su Feng. He and Su Feng were entangled.
When Su Feng accelerated to get rid of him, he suddenly bumped into him, his strength and talent fully released. He wanted to teach Su Feng a lesson, but Su Feng seized the moment when his power was fully released and quickly absorbed 1 point of power.
At this time, Su Feng's strength talent reached 87, and his strength was actually not inferior to Horford.
When Horford collided again, Su Feng suddenly stopped and ran back... directly throwing Horford away, and he ran to the top of the three-point arc.
nice-move!
Nice run.
Popovich couldn't help but admire in front of the TV.
Su Feng received a timely pass from Hinrich at the top of the arc, and unguarded, he took the shot easily... Whoops!
Another hit!
The Spurs' good situation was disrupted with Su Feng's appearance.
Popovich thought that Ginobili should be replaced.
But after all, the assistant coach lacked experience and his on-the-spot reaction was not enough. He walked to the sidelines and yelled at RC Horford, telling him to be tougher.
He still believes that the current lineup can crack the connection between Su Feng and Hinrich.
When Popovich saw Tony Parker passing the basketball to RC Horford in front of the TV, he was so grumpy that he yelled: What the hell is this?
If he had been there, Tony Parker and the assistant coach would have been thrown into the air by him.
RC Horford catches the basketball.
He hated Su Feng in his heart. Originally, he wanted to suppress Su Feng's promotion and gain attention by stepping on Su Feng's head.
Unexpectedly, after two rounds, I would become a stepping stone for this weak guy.
So, this time, he directly used force to hit it.
He turned his back and slammed into Su Feng...Su Feng was slightly bigger than him. Although he didn't have as many muscles as him, his 87 points of strength were already comparable.
Therefore, RC Horford's first impact did not push Su Feng at all.
His own handling of the ball was a little unstable: his hands were too small.
Su Feng frowned at this time. He was a little depressed: Why don't you use explosive power and agility to surpass me? You don’t have enough strength and talent for me to absorb.
So, he simply took a step back.
He stepped back.
Popovich's eyes lit up when he saw it: This defensive intuition is amazing.
He doesn't just guard people but not the ball. This is not... it's just a gap.
Seeing that he couldn't push Su Feng, Horford had no choice but to turn his back. He continued to rush forward, with a sudden burst of explosive power and speed, but Su Feng clung to him at this moment... Poof!
As the two collided, Su Feng once again absorbed one point of explosive talent.
But at this time, Horford's steps had been stopped. He was about to collect the ball when Hinrich rushed over and knocked the basketball down with a slap.
Su Feng quickly ran forward, and Hinrich passed the basketball.
Su Feng ran forward with the ball, and Tony Parker came up to help defend. Su Feng leaned over, accelerated two steps, and passed the basketball to Hinrich on one side.
Hinrich took off the ball and took a shot... Whoops!
Hit 3 points.
The Bulls took the lead.
Beep!
The Spurs were immediately stopped.
After Su Feng came on the court, he immediately changed the Bulls' lagging situation. He and Hinrich are the best partners.
When Su Feng high-fived Hinrich on the court.
Bill Carlwright asked Ron Adams a question: "Why hasn't the Soviet Union been here before?"
At that time, Ron Adams was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
Just when he was about to lie, Carl Wright reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done. We just want to catch powerful opponents off guard at critical moments. Secret weapons like Su should be used in critical situations."
When Carl Wright said this, Ron Adams was immediately relieved: Can you still understand it this way?
"Yes, that's what I think." Adams quickly agreed.
At this time, Popovich in front of the TV sighed: "The 37th pick is a bit interesting. When did the Bulls learn to hunt for treasures at low picks?"
Popovich's evaluation of Su Feng has undergone earth-shaking changes.
