When Ginobili appeared, overwhelming cheers sounded at the scene.

Although in terms of historical status, Ginobili and Duncan are a little worse.

But as Popovich said in his previous speech, Ginobili sacrificed a lot for the Spurs.

Coupled with his personality, he is quite popular in San Antonio.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone."

After saying thank you three times, the cheers from the fans at the scene fell.

"Sorry, coach, I can't take responsibility for your hair, just like no one can take responsibility for me."

Ginobili's sex is at heart. His opening words have also caused whistles to come one after another on the scene.

"And I have to thank you and the Spurs, you know the 57th pick, on other teams I might be on the bench for a few seasons and then leave."

Ginobili's subsequent words also turned the whistle into cheers.

Although Popovich kept Ginobili on the bench most of the time, he and Ginobili, Ginobili and the Spurs all achieved each other.

"Tim, your speech is 6 minutes long. I love you so much. It's 19 years since you first called me wrong. We're all old."

"Tony, I also like me with long hair, but I may only be able to record the game."

"Dang, being a teammate with you is one of the happiest things in my life. I can brag with my sons now. I used to be the same team as the No. 1 basketball player."

Ginobili thanked everyone one by one.

"In the 1999 NBA Draft, I couldn't believe it when I received a call and found out that I was selected. It changed the direction of my life.

When the phone rang again in 2002, I was ready.

Basketball is a group event and I can’t win the championship alone. I’m lucky to always have a group of outstanding teammates around me.

I also want to thank the Spurs staff and fans for making this big family more interesting.

Finally, I want to thank Popovich for being a sincere, generous, considerate, smart madman who is so important to me.

You are not only a coach but also a father, but I have learned so much.

I have retired from basketball and don’t care, but you made me understand that life is much greater than basketball.”

At the end of the speech, Ginobili gave a summary of his basketball career.

Finally, he also thanked Popovich for his key points. For GDP, Popovich has the same relationship with them, both as a coach and a father.

Ginobili's speech ended, and with the presenter's introduction, the curtain was unveiled over the stadium, revealing the No. 20 jersey.

On his left is Duncan's No. 21 jersey.

And the next person who will retire here is Parker's No. 9.

GDP has entered the league one after another, and now he has retired from the same team one after another, which is destined to be a historical story.

The fans stood up and applauded Ginobili, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Ginobili hugged Duncan and the others one by one.

After tonight, he will be a famous person like Duncan.

After the jersey retirement ceremony, Duncan and Ginobili sat in the front row of the sidelines to watch the game.

The entrance ceremony was followed, and the starts of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Spurs, Derek White and Brin Forbes on the outside, George and Leonard on the front line, and center Aldridge on the center.

Aldridge has been gaining weight since Duncan retired.

He played centers in more than half of the games last season, and this season he is already an unstoppable center.

When Popovich lobbying Aldridge to join, he said that he would not let the latter play center. The facts proved that he really couldn't believe what he said.

The Pelicans have also made changes to the roster.

Dedmon's outside line has continued to be sluggish this season, and his playing time has dropped sharply.

Stevens did not arrange for him to play in this game, but used Harrell as the center.

Other positions are the same as the regular lineup.

Davis turned the ball back to the Pelicans' half, officially opening the curtain for the second match between the two sides.

Tang Tian controlled the ball, and he signaled Davis to ask for the ball at the low post, and then stuffed the ball in.

Although Aldridge has gained weight, his defense is average, and Davis has an advantage in the matchup.

This is also the part that the two teams did not have when they last played.

Davis received the ball, and then moved his footsteps in the low position and made a move.

The ball rubbed the rebound and shot into the net bag.

Davis took the lead for the Pelicans.

Duncan showed a gratifying smile on the sidelines at this time.

After Davis practiced with him last summer, he was treated as his own disciple.

Moreover, this low-post back hit is indeed very evident.

The Pelicans scored first, but in the next round, Leonard broke through Siakam with the ball and made a layup.

He didn't play for a season last season, but he was still in a state of courage after returning to the new season, averaging a career-high 27 points per game.

Davis continued to play behind the ball in the low post, and he still squeezed out Aldridge.

However, just before he took action, Leonard's assisted defense came over to interfere and successfully destroyed his attack.

Both offense and defense are dominant, and there is a reason why Leonard is now overtaking Durant to rank third in the MVP list.

Looking back, Leonard was still the one who broke through the inside tactics and sent out a second pass to Forbes, who made a three-pointer and took a knife.

Cheers burst into tears at the scene.

The x in the vip box showed a gratifying smile.

When he took over the Spurs, he was in danger of Leonard's injury, but he still spent 5 years and 220 million yuan in super maximum salary contract to Leonard.

Judging from Leonard's season state, he had the right bet.

“It’s really nice that he can stay.”

Ginobili also said to Duncan with a smile.

Duncan nodded and then looked at Tang Tian.

Popovich has already told him the whole story of Leonard's affairs. It is really thanks to Tang Tian who can stay.

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian played singles with the ball in the frontcourt, and George and Leonard double-teamed over immediately.

Although the two played in the third and fourth positions on the court, it was obvious that Popovich had targeted defensive deployment.

Tang Tian was under great defensive pressure when he broke through. He passed the ball to Siakam on the weak side, and Siakam flew onto a layup.

But Leonard's defense is really strong, turning around and causing interference, destroying Siakam's layup.

Aldridge protected the defensive rebound, and the Pelicans' offense once again failed!

The Spurs played a defensive counterattack, White dribbled the ball and advanced, and reached the frontcourt three-point line and gave Leonard a follow-up.

Leonard got the ball, and Tang Tian was in front of him.

He did not choose to pass the ball, but instead directly changed backward to make a layup.

Both of them are familiar with each other, but Leonard's body is stronger and his wingspan is better.

After the confrontation, he turned around and put the ball into the basket with a beautiful ball.

Cheers burst into tears at the scene.

Leonard challenged Tang Tian and succeeded!
Chapter completed!
