Last season, the quasi-All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson, who was traded by the Spurs with three veterans, did not perform well after he came to the Spurs.
From the Bucks, the Nets averaged 22.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. After coming to the Spurs last season, they dropped to 12.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
In the last season, Richard Jefferson struggled, he completely lost the ability to score 20 minutes per game before.
In the more than 30 games since the start of this season, Richard Jefferson's performance is still declining.
After coming to the Spurs, Richard Jefferson's attention has also dropped sharply. The only one remembered by fans and the media last season should be the unlucky guy who was blocked by Lian Dao and sent to the hospital.
The background board behind the proper superhero.
But of course he is not reconciled to be the background board of Lian Dao. This game, Richard Jefferson believes, will be a game for him to wash away his shame.
He said in an interview with the media before the game, "I have a scoring ability that is not inferior to Lian Dao, and I will prove my strength in this game."
At this time when the two met on the court, Lian Dao didn't pay attention to Richard Jefferson at all, and Lian Dao paid more attention to Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker.
Lian Dao's ignorance deeply hurt Richard Jefferson's self-esteem, and at the same time made Richard Jefferson a little angry.
"Sickle, your opponent in this game is me!"
Lian Dao then glanced at Jefferson, and then revealed a trace of disdain.
Although Jefferson was very angry at Lian Dao's ignorance, he had nothing to do with Lian Dao.
"Damn it, I will let you see how powerful I am in this game!"
The whistle sounded and the game officially began. Cousins relying on his explosive physical talent won the jump ball for the Knicks.
After Holiday received Cousins' jump ball, he dribbled the ball across half court.
Just after halftime, Holiday encountered Parker's fierce defense. Although this guy is not as strong as Holiday, Parker's defense has never relied on his body. His defensive experience accumulated over the years, combined with subtle small moves, made him Holiday is tireless.
But with the experience of defending Paul, it is still very handy for Holiday to deal with Parker's small moves.
Steady dribbling did not give Parker any chance to steal.

Jefferson, who was always paying attention to Lian Dao, made a move that violated Popovich's tactical standards at this time. He took the risk of intercepting Holiday's pass.
But Lian Dao grabbed the basketball with his right hand first, and then dribbled the ball behind his back to avoid the rushing Jefferson.
Whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, it is very easy for Lian Dao.
But just when Lian Dao was about to shoot, Jefferson, who was out of position, stretched out his hand and hit Lian Dao's waist. The action was so subtle that the referee didn't notice it.
Lian Dao then took a step sideways, and then shot directly.
"brush!"
The opening three-pointer, under the interference of Jefferson's small moves, still made a steady hit!
This guy really doesn't change his nature. I'm afraid this guy didn't remember the lesson of the black hand last season. He really forgot the pain after the scar was healed.
Back on defense, Lian Dao glared angrily, staring at Jefferson fiercely.
Jefferson saw Lian Dao's beastly eyes as if he was about to tear himself apart, and then thought of his tragic experience of being sent to the hospital last season, he couldn't help feeling a little afraid of Lian Dao.
But when he thought about the task Popovich had given him, he felt torn.
Lian Dao also knew that it must be Popovich who really instructed Jefferson to do this.
This old man is kind on the surface, but he is actually full of bad things in his heart.
"Richard, don't take a risky steal!" Jefferson's risky steal just now made Popovich a little angry, but at the beginning, Popovich could still tolerate such mistakes.
So, it was just a warning to Jefferson on the sidelines.
Jefferson nodded without saying a word. If he makes a mistake, he will be beaten, and if he is beaten, he must stand at attention. This is probably a new skill that Jefferson learned in the Spurs.
After all, Parker and Ginobili will often be scolded on the court, not to mention Jefferson whose scoring ability has been declining.
The ball was switched, and Parker handed the ball to Manu Ginobili after halftime.
Immediately, Richard gave Ginobili a pick-and-roll and misplaced singles.
Lian Dao didn't expect that Ginobili would choose to single out himself in a wrong position!
Is this looking down on your own defensive ability?
Or do you think he can't prevent Ginobili's "serpentine breakthrough" with his speed?
However, no matter what the reason is, since the opponent points to him, Lian Dao will not hesitate.
Lian Dao stared at Ginobili firmly, and at the same time was ready to move his footsteps at any time, you must know that the "Demon Sword" is not called for nothing!
Surprisingly, Ginobili didn't use the "snake" to break through this time, but broke through directly with the ball, hit Lian Dao's arms, and then raised his hands towards Lian Dao's arms.
When the pitcher touched Lian Dao's arm, his body made an exaggerated movement as if his shooting was disturbed, and he directly threw the ball to the basket.
"Beep!"
"Illegal use of hands?!"
Foul? Young Hero is really good at acting!
From screens and defenses to Ginobili's singles, everything is for the purpose of fouling, Lian Dao now fully understands.
The Spurs didn't think about any **** breakthrough at all, they just wanted to take advantage of Ginobili's foul-making mentality.
Lian Dao did not think of this aspect, and he also suffered a dark loss for the first ball.
Seeing Ginobili walk to the free throw line, Lian Dao also let out a playful smile.
Foul! The Spurs' small tricks are really emerging one after another, which is really very interesting!
Manu Ginobili free throws are very stable, two free throws.
Holiday held the ball for half court again. This time, Lian Dao gave Holiday a pick-and-roll, and Holiday used the pick-and-roll to break through the inside and hit the basket, seeing that Holiday was about to make a layup.
The Spurs quickly shrank the defense, but suddenly found that Holiday ran out of the baseline, and the basketball in his hand was gone.
"brush!"
Lian Dao made a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Holiday saw the Spurs shrinking the defense, he immediately threw the ball to Lian Dao who came to the corner for a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll.
And Tony Parker, who was supposed to switch to Lian Dao's side, was completely attracted by Holiday who was killed to the basket.
2:6!
Lian Dao started with two precise three-pointers.
The Spurs' offense here is still the strategy of the previous round. Jefferson still picks and rolls for Ginobili, and it is still the familiar singles.
But this time, Lian Dao moved ahead of time and stood firmly on Ginobili's breakthrough route.
And as Ginobili bumped into Lian Dao's arms again, Lian Dao fell backwards at this time, sliding backwards for a certain distance when falling down.
"Beep!"
"Offensive law!"
Don't you want to play, old boy?
Lian Dao is also accompanying him, and Lian Dao is too familiar with making fouls. Just using Harden's set in later generations is enough for the Spurs to drink a pot.
Since he can attack, Lian Dao will naturally defend. Although he doesn't bother to make some foul moves by flopping, Lian Dao doesn't mind showing his skills when the opponent fights.
At this time, Ginobili was full of surprise, opened his hands innocently, coupled with that pair of bewildered little eyes, a proper acting style.
If everyone didn’t know who Ginobili is~www.mtl.com~, he would really be taken over by this “Pampas Vulture”.
However, with the on-the-spot return to defense, it was clear that Lian Dao was stuck in the position ahead of time, and Ginobili bumped into him head-on, and Lian Dao's hand did not touch Ginobili's arm at all.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, for Ginobili, who was as cheeky as a city wall, this was a small scene, but he didn't expect that Lian Dao's defense was so good that he would think of getting stuck in advance.
Popovich's face was a little gloomy now. He didn't know whether Lian Dao had discovered his tactics, or whether the previous defense was just a coincidence.
In order to deal with Lian Dao, Popovich almost watched all the Knicks game videos. After watching these game videos, the word "clean!" appeared in Popovich's mind.
Although Lian Dao also uses small movements, that level of small movements is normal physical contact for Popovich.
In Popovich's view, crotch kicks, black feet, black elbows, etc. are small moves.
