Chapter 507 I want to go from south to north

A good start to the season, the Spurs won at their home court, a big victory with more than ten points, leaving no chance for the Nets at all.

Qin Yan didn't play much in the first game of the new season. He scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, a very standard 25+ triple-double.

This seems to tell people that this year's Qin Yan is more versatile and even more terrifying!

Of course, among Qin Yan’s 10 assists, 4 were contributed by Leonard. Leonard, who learned how to run and shoot, made Qin Yan feel more at ease when passing the ball. As long as he runs, he can get out of space , then passing it must be an assist!
Of course, Parker had the most assists in the team. He scored 13 points and 14 assists, which seemed very easy.

Leonard also scored 18 points. In this game, his running shots made the Nets suffer a lot. It also proved to everyone that he not only can defend, but also has offensive ability!
The veterans of the Spurs also scored their own points, and they basically played very easily. Uncle Duncan and Garnett hugged affectionately after the game. Now the game between these two old guys who are almost 80 years old together is a game. If there is one less game, we don't know when we will play together next time.

Qin Yan's debut in the new season is a triple-double, which makes many people feel incredible. I knew that after the 50+ triple-double last season, Qin Yan rarely had a triple-double performance. He is basically 25+5+5 Up and down, some media and fans think that according to his performance in the first game, is Qin Yan going to challenge Big O's record of averaging a triple-double this season?

However, many rational fans said that this is unlikely. If the Spurs want to challenge the Big O record, unless Popovich regards Qin Yan as his only son, otherwise it is basically impossible.

But are Popovich's own sons rare in the Spurs? GDP takes up three places, plus Leonard and Qin Yan, there are five. Sacrifice other people's data to allow Qin Yan to break the record of Big O that has been dusty for many years. This is not Qin Yan's style, nor is it Popovich. odd style.

In the post-match interviews, the most common question asked by reporters was whether he had any expectations for the new season, especially whether he had any hope of defending the title.

Qin Yan's answer was impeccable. He said that the goal of every team must be the championship. As the championship winner of last season, the Spurs will definitely go all out in the new season.

As for what goals he has for this season, whether he wants to break the Big O's record, Qin Yan said that he will obey the command and listen to the coach's arrangements.

Sure enough, it was a Popovich-style answer that did not leak water. It was useless to ask. It was all nonsense and wasted the power of the recorder.

The Nets said that the loss of this game is acceptable. After all, before the game against the Spurs, the Nets had already won their first win of the season, so it is not a pity to lose this game.

After all, with back-to-back excuses, no one can say that the Nets are not working hard.

However, for the Nets in this game, it was exposed that their starting five generals were not particularly strong, except that Lopez was a young man, and Deron was not young, let alone the remaining three. Individuals add up to almost 100 years old...

If this is the average age, they are all older than the Spurs...

But fortunately, although the Tigers are old, the residual prestige is still there, and the old men of the Nets can still hold the field. At least this season, the Nets can rely on the residual heat of these old men to make an impact.

Let's skip the Nets and look at the Spurs again.

San Antonio, Spurs practice facility.

"What the hell? Eight Links? Real or fake? You can't read it wrong!"

All the members of the Spurs who finished training for the day were listening to the staff report on the upcoming schedule in the training hall. They heard a very bad news.

Eight consecutive players, this kind of devil-like schedule was met by them!

In fact, the Spurs had an eight-game streak last season, but the problem was that it was already in the middle of the season, and this was the first time they had an eight-game streak at the start.

Now the people in the Spurs have already suspected that Stern may very much want to arrange a nine-game streak for the Spurs at the beginning of the season, and he doesn't even plan to let them get the ring!

But in the end, something may have happened that made Stern's wishful thinking unsuccessful, so he had to return the opener to the Spurs so that they could receive the ring at home.

However, the next eight-game streak is inevitable, and it is probably Stern's punishment for the Spurs.

Who made the Spurs not pay much attention to Stern's rule, and Qin Yan went to make a movie this summer, which caused a lot of public opinion.

This stimulated Stern's revenge. He wanted to clean up the Spurs in his heart, but he was about to retire soon, and he had no other way to deal with the Spurs. He could only do something about the schedule.

Therefore, he created a messy 8-game streak for the Spurs (in fact, it was originally a 9-game streak). In order to show his generosity, Stern "generously" gave the Spurs the opening game.

"Eight in a row, from Orlando to Toronto, let me go, let us slip from south to north at the beginning of the season?"

After Qin Yan listened to the arrangement, he couldn't complain anymore. What kind of broken schedule is this, is he planning to let the young master go from south to north?Master is not an ascetic!

If the long-distance eight-game streak is not handled well, the Spurs may start the game with the worst start in team history.

Although the opponents along the way are not particularly strong, flying around such a long distance is a great test for every player.

This Stern is about to retire, and he still has so many things to do.

"Okay, I heard everything clearly. We are disbanding now. Go back and pack up your equipment. We will gather here at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. We will strive to reach Orlando as early as possible."

Popovich is also very helpless about this kind of schedule, and he doesn't like flying so far all at once and playing so many games.

But the rules of the league are the rules, and Popovich has nothing to do.

However, for this kind of long-distance away games, the measures the Spurs will take are also very simple, that is, to give up a few of them.

On the way to this eight-game streak, some games are back-to-back. The Spurs plan to give up the second back-to-back game, so as to ensure the physical strength of the main players and prevent the team from being full of injuries at the beginning of the season.

Qin Yan vowed that he must have a good relationship with Xiao Hua in the future, at least in the future, this kind of schedule problem will no longer plague the Spurs.

Next time, I will definitely stop being a person who goes from south to north, and let Xiao Hua arrange a comfortable schedule for the Spurs.

But no matter what happens in the future, the current Spurs can only clean up obediently and prepare to start their journey from south to north.
