Chapter 753

During the bench rotation.

The strength of Ginobili becomes apparent; the Bulls' bench, even with Jr. Smith, Korver, Pippen, and others, is no match.

They are simply not the opponent.

Unless... Jr. Smith goes crazy, and the rookie plays at an All-Star level.

Only then is it possible to contend with the Spurs' bench mob led by Ginobili.

4 minutes and 44 seconds of rotation.

Ginobili leads his team to outscore the Bulls by 5 points.

Then... after the starters from both sides return, the game enters an extremely intense state of battle.

It is a deadlock.

It is absolutely a feast of offense and defense with back-and-forth action; the fans who bought tickets for this game are all extremely excited.

Every one of them feels the ticket price was worth it.

On the Bulls' bench.

Skiles looks gratified, his face full of smiles, "That is the Spurs with their blockbuster signing, Ray Allen.

To be honest.

I really didn't expect the players to be able to play so fiercely against them; after a season of growth, these young men have truly improved so much.

This is just fantastic."

"Haha..."

The assistant coach also laughs, "If there was a certain element of luck in winning the championship last year, then this year we possess absolute, rock-solid strength.

I believe we can definitely repeat as champions!"

Both coaches are full of confidence in the Bulls.

Meanwhile, on the Spurs' bench.

Old Man Popovich watches his team lead the score, but there isn't a trace of a smile on his face.

Why?!

Because... he knows very well that the Bulls' most powerful core player must be Su Yan.

And from the start of the game until now, Su Yan has not yet fully exerted himself; he has not fought with all his might.

Under such circumstances.

The lead is only a tiny bit.

If Su Yan were to attack with full force, Old Man Popovich feels the team might not be the Bulls' match.

This makes him feel uneasy.

He is even more surprised, "The growth of these young men is a bit scary; although the individual improvements aren't particularly large.

But if everyone improves, the combined transformation will be quite astonishing.

Furthermore.

As long as his teammates have even a little bit of ability, Su Yan's own gravitational pull will infinitely amplify their strength; that is the most exaggerated thing."

The more he thinks, the more uneasy Old Man Popovich feels inside.

The only thing that gives him a little peace of mind is that on the court, the Spurs' score is always leading the Bulls'.

By the time the half ends.

The Spurs are even leading the Bulls by as many as 8 points; they occupy the initiative on the court.

The scales of victory seem to be tipping toward them.

Halftime.

An 8-point deficit is not much, and the entire Bulls team feels their own condition is still okay.

They remain confident.

Believing... that after returning for the second half, they can erase the deficit, complete a comeback, defeat the Spurs, beat the powerhouse of the West, and take their 22nd consecutive win.

Su Yan also narrows his eyes, "An 8-point deficit, huh? Although it's not much, it still poses a hidden danger.

Time has already passed the half, and because of Ray Allen's addition, the Spurs' strength is indeed much stronger than last year.
