After Antetokounmpo became the acting head coach of Nash and the others, his status in the Lakers was neither high nor low, his playing time was neither too much nor too little, and his performance opportunities were neither high nor low.

Position in the team.

If you count the insiders, they are definitely below Yao Ming, Oden, Olajuwon and O'Neal. If you count the small forwards, they are definitely below Ebanks, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, and Jackson and Artest.

Pretty much the same.

With such a role as the eighth or tenth man on a team, and the fact that the team's three acting coaches can't believe in young players, it's easy to imagine his presence in the Lakers.

No merit, no fault.

Even the sense of existence is not as good as Kanan.

After all, Kanan is collectively criticized by Lakers fans every time he plays, a standard scapegoat.

As for Antetokounmpo and Covington, basically after they play, they are just supporting players, and fans will not pay attention to them.

Even Lakers fans can’t pay attention to them, so how can other fans pay attention?

Antetokounmpo is very popular, but his popularity comes entirely from those three GIFs and the luck of the Madison incident.

In other words, Antetokounmpo is actually the mascot of the Lakers.

As for basketball strength.

That's very embarrassing. Ask Nash, ask Hamm, and ask Clifford to see if they think Antetokounmpo is a player with basketball ability.

In the first half, Antetokounmpo's pursuit ability was very good.

This has shocked everyone.

And now, Antetokounmpo's defensive defense against Ginobili is really scary!

How scary is it?

It was so horrifying that Popovich looked angrily at Hamm, Clifford and Nash, the three former acting head coaches of the Lakers.

There's something wrong with you guys!

Such a good defensive young player, you guys actually used him as a mascot!!!

Facing Popovich's gaze, Ham, Clifford and Nash were also confused.

Within the Lakers, Antetokounmpo actually plays mostly inside.

In training games and training, Antetokounmpo is often Yao Ming's partner, or Olajuwon's partner.

Antetokounmpo's performance on interior defense is limited to that because he has not yet hung up his muscles. His athletic ability cannot make up for his weakness in strength in many cases.

Coach D also asked them to try Antetokounmpo on the outside. However, the Lakers' outside forwards are players like Wheat, Kobe, and Ebanks. Antetokounmpo really has no chance to perform, and he has no chance to perform.

With his offensive ability, Nash and the others don’t dare to put him on the outside.

In the end, this resulted in the current situation.

Seeing Popovich angrily glaring at the Lakers' three acting head coaches, many Lakers fans in front of the TV laughed.

"Our Wolong Fengchu acting coach actually made a meritorious service!"

"It's normal for Nash and the others to not be able to use Coach D's players well. It can only be said that Coach D is too strong, not that Nash and the others are too weak. Well, they must be good. After all, they are all rookies."

After the third quarter between the Lakers and Spurs started, the Lakers fans in front of the TV were really worried that the Lakers would be defeated by Ginobili in the third quarter of the game because of Antetokounmpo.

Everyone is worried about that.

But now, Lakers fans are so happy to see the Spurs allowing Ginobili to block Antetokounmpo from attacking.

Now the Lakers fans are happy, but the Spurs fans at the scene feel uncomfortable.

In the third quarter, the cruel war of attrition continues.

Ginobili couldn't break the game for the Spurs.

The Spurs fans at the scene were getting more and more impatient.

On the court, Ginobili is also very impatient now.

After being covered by Antetokounmpo again, Ginobili did not choose to call for the cover of his teammates this time, but directly charged forward, leaning against Antetokounmpo as if he was about to attack.

"Boy, NBA games are not just about basketball!"

Ginobili's promising appearance deceived Antetokounmpo's sideways movement to break through the defense.

Almost as soon as Antetokounmpo turned sideways, Ginobili was ready to take a sudden step and fall to the ground right next to Antetokounmpo.

Seeing Ginobili's actions, Popovich's eyes lit up on the sidelines.

“Manu is still reassuring!”

Since you can't get through with strength, then commit a foul!

If Antetokounmpo is built, the Lakers will lose one strength and the cost will be even greater!

If Antetokounmpo is eliminated, the Lakers' rotation will have problems, and the Lakers' disgusting full-court press will no longer exist!

Just when Popovich was waiting for Ginobili to suddenly fall to the ground, Antetokounmpo on the court suddenly let out an excited scream!

Almost at the same time as Antetokounmpo screamed, Ginobili fell down in an exaggerated manner.

Seeing this scene, the Spurs fans at the scene were a little confused.

After being stunned for 0.1 seconds, many Spurs fans felt like laughing.

Damn it!

Can the replay be stopped on the big screen?

When Ginobili broke through, his hand just hit Antetokounmpo's shoulder.

Antetokounmpo did not fall to the ground, but shyly shouted in excitement.

But Ginobili fell to the ground in pain first.

Ginobili fell to the ground in pain and kept rolling.

Seeing Ginobili rolling on the ground, the Spurs players on the court couldn't stand it.

Manu, stop acting. Don’t you realize that the current atmosphere is wrong?

In fact, Manu has already noticed that something is not right about the atmosphere.

Shouldn't the Spurs fans at the scene boo like crazy now?

Why were the fans at the scene so quiet?

Are you worried about me?

Is it because I overacted and worried that I might get too injured like Tracy McGrady and Kobe?

In this case, should I act less exaggeratedly?

If I don’t act exaggerated, I’m afraid the referee won’t call it a blow!

Nowadays, NBA games are very intense, but they need to be exaggerated!

No matter what, just get out of here first!

Beep beep beep!

The referee's whistle finally sounded!

Ginobili, who was on the ground, heard the whistle and secretly glanced at the referee.

I was dumbfounded!

The referee pointed the foul gesture at him again!

Stupid?

Another offensive foul on me?!

Is there something wrong with you?

Didn’t you see how painful I was just now?

This is still the home ground of our Holy City!

Do you want to bully people like this!

Manu suddenly stood up and wanted to go to the referee to argue.

Then, he was caught by Duncan who was about to pull Manu up.

After Duncan caught Manu, he didn't say anything and just pointed to the replay on the big screen.

Ginobili looked up and felt embarrassed.

For a time, the entire AT&T Arena had an awkward atmosphere.

Compared with the embarrassment of the Spurs fans on the sidelines of the court, the commentators in the commentary box were not embarrassed at all.

O'Neal, Barkley, Kenny Smith, everyone is laughing.
