In the second quarter of the game, Nash, Stoudemire and Laga Bell enjoyed the main treatment and took a rest.
The rotation changed to Kurt Thomas, Marion, Diaw, Su Bei and Barbosa.
For the Spurs, Bowen and Francisco Elson rested, replaced by Ginobili and Horry.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs had the ball.
Barbosa also pressed Parker, and with Ginobili's response, he easily broke through.
Su Bei mainly defended Ginobili, but was easily cut down by the demon sword.
If you retreat from the war, you will be a target in front of the snake-shaped European rifle.
The drastic change of direction can also lean on the defender's body, leaving Su Bei with nowhere to use his power.
The cleverness, the rhythm, the speed, and even the confusing movements... all left Su Bei with nowhere to start. He felt that if he just stretched out his hand, he would get a foul.
No matter how he reacts, Ginobili's demon knife can cut into his weak spot. How can he defeat such a great trick?
It’s too difficult, I can’t do it!
Fortunately, Barbossa is also a powerful man, with a very good combination of technique, body and speed. The protrusion is an unstoppable knife. Let's not talk about reactions. Even if he can react, he will draw blood when he touches it.
"Ginobili's knife is very magical, but Barbosa's knife is very fast. They are both undefendable offensive tasks.
After getting to the basket and finishing the game, Duncan's block could only be slapped on the Brazilian lightning exhaust..."
Peng, shua——!
Still a 1 point difference.
Off the court, D'Antoni was a little surprised.
The Spurs actually competed with the Suns on offense. Such a desperate act could still keep up with their offensive level. They could even beat the Suns with their lethality. It was just crazy.
Bo Povich's team is so eclectic!
If you can attack, attack. If you can't attack well, go back to your instincts and start with defense. This kind of team is very difficult to deal with. It's not like the Pistons, who can only defend desperately. As long as the Suns play a good offense.
Rhythm can basically establish a leading advantage.
The Spurs are different.
On the court, the Spurs attack.
If there are three carriages present at the same time, it would be too lazy to play team basketball.
"Parker responded to the ball and broke through Barbosa's defense with the same sharpness. Su Bei rushed over to help defend, and the basketball was passed out.
Ginobili cut in, picked up the basketball and European-stepped for a layup. Marion wanted to block the shot, but Ginobili passed the ball behind his back. At this moment, Duncan was already free..."
Bang-dang——!
After completing a dunk with both hands without expression, Duncan rushed back to defend, pointed at Ginobili, and interacted. It was obvious that the wave just now reached Duncan's stomach and made him feel very comfortable.
On the court, the Suns attack.
Barbosa is also very weak this season. He is too difficult to guard when he rushes forward. When it comes to speed, he can't stop him except for fouls.
In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be defeated. This is an irrefutable truth. It is obvious that Barbossa has realized this a long time ago. As his body strengthens, his sword is not only faster, but also harder than before.
This is hard to bear.
If it was a soft knife, he could still withstand a hard blow and use physical confrontation to break the situation. But now that it was hard, his knife wouldn't be enough to cut him if he charged forward.
"It was still a sharp breakthrough and an unstoppable charge, but Parker's defense couldn't withstand it.
Ginobili went to help defend, but Barbosa actually chose to pass the ball. This is not his style..."
Su Bei was also a little weird, but after receiving the basketball, he immediately had the temperament of a shooter. He lifted the ball, jumped up, ignored Ginobili's flying block, maintained his own shooting rhythm, and threw the basketball...
Swish——!
Three-point hit.
"Su Bei couldn't miss the three-pointer and hit it again.
When the score returns to the same starting line, no one can take advantage."
"The Spurs' offense has increased wing penetration and reduced team coordination with Ginobili's appearance, but the Spurs' style of play has not changed much.
They are still targeting the Suns' weaknesses.
Attack the Suns' basket, attack the Suns' point guard, play Duncan's role in the low post, and continue to suppress the Suns on the rebounds..."
The Spurs played very clearly. Fortunately, the Suns were not sluggish either. They increased the speed and accelerated the offensive rhythm and continued to consume the Spurs' physical energy.
This is a series of long-term battles. Every time the consumption is increased, a little victory will be accumulated for the subsequent games.
Of course, in this process, you still need to use your strongest weapon, which is attack, attack, attack...
Not to mention, in the second quarter of the game, the Suns gradually took the initiative in the score.
Especially with the return of Nash, Stoudemire and Laga Bell, the Suns have continued to improve their offensive firepower.
In the second quarter, we beat the Spurs by a score. At the end of the first half, we overtook the Spurs by 4 points and entered the locker room to rest.
You ask, haven't the Spurs always had the upper hand?
Why are we still lagging behind?
Don't ask, just ask that Duncan needs a rest.
Without Duncan, the Spurs' offensive and defensive system has dropped by another dimension.
Ginobili and Parker alone really can't stop the Suns' offensive firepower.
"This loss of points is completely acceptable to the Spurs.
Bowen didn't play at all in the second quarter, and Duncan had a 5-minute rest. In the second half, he could take over the entire game without any rest.
Rotation and adjustment of tactics is also a characteristic of the Spurs under Popovich."
After recuperating for 15 minutes, he came back for the second half of the game.
The Spurs' lineup has changed to Francisco Elson, Duncan, Bowen, Ginobili and Parker, and the three carriages continue to return.
The Suns still have a good lineup to face the challenge.
The game started in the third quarter, and the Suns had the offensive ball.
"Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt and still played the diamond tactic. Su Bei was followed by Ginobili and did not get an open shot like he did in the first quarter.
Of course, Laga Bell received it, he was completely empty, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Lagabel missed the shot.
His shooting is very touchy. He has hit a lot of three-pointers this season, but he is unstable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The rebound was taken by Duncan and the ball was passed to Parker.
"Nash still pressed Parker, Su Bei and Laga Bell, and continued to attack. With Ginobili's support, he easily broke through the Suns' first defensive barrier.
Ginobili dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Spurs opened up their formation, allowing Ginobili to challenge Subei alone. In the Spurs, Ginobili was very free, and Povich did not limit his offensive options..."
"Su Bei defended closely. Ginobili stepped down and dribbled the ball, changed direction, broke through to the right, then changed direction and shot back to the left. He stopped and made a jump shot..."
Bang-dang——!
Ginobili's shot missed and his condition was average.
"Duncan lit up the basketball, Elson took off the backboard and passed the ball to Ginobili. When he saw Duncan stuck under the basket, he immediately passed the ball into the basket, turned around and rushed towards the basket..."
Swish——!
Duncan hit a two-pointer.
The stone Buddha did not lose the face of Si Da Mian.
Duncan, who is 2.13 meters tall, faced off against Marion, who is 2.01 meters tall. As long as he gets into position, turns around and rushes towards the basket, Marion has no way to defend against this purely talented attack method.
He's 2.01 meters tall and doesn't have an afro. If you ask him to play power forward, that's outrageous in itself.
The one who had to defend was the unsolvable Duncan, which made the matchup even more outrageous.
Even Ben, a four-time Defensive Player of the Year with an afro, can't stop him. He can only be beaten. What can Marion do to stop him?
The gap between the two sides is only 2 points.
On the court, the Suns attack.
Being entangled by Ginobili, Su Bei couldn't catch the basketball at all and could only play soy sauce.
Moreover, in the third quarter, it was time for the pair of Nash and Stoudemire to take over the Suns' offense.
"Stuudemire pulled out and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Nash.
Nash passed the ball, Stoudemire faced Parker's defense, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Excellent scoring opportunity, Stoudemire's shot was messed up.
Looking back, Parker and Duncan also copied Nash and Stoudemire's work and also used pick-and-roll tactics.
"Duncan pulled out and started a pick-and-roll with Parker.
Parker got rid of Nash, Duncan cut into the penalty area, received Parker's pass, and with only the basket in front of him, Stoudemire rushed over..."
Bang-dang——!
Duncan didn't hide and slammed the basketball into the basket.
In terms of score, both sides returned to the same starting line.
Bang-dang——!
Stoudemire's shooting was off again.
"Marion grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Stoudemire who rushed in. He was about to make a one-handed dunk. Elson interrupted Stoudemire's performance with a foul and sent him to the free throw line..."
Swish——!
Swish——!
Stoudemire's mid-range shots continued to hit, but he was not soft on the free throws, making two free throws.
However, the Suns' lead was not yet warm, and the defense was broken again.
It was also a pick-and-roll between Duncan and Parker. Finally, Parker rushed to the basket and scored the basketball with a rebound.
In the third quarter of the game, Ginobili was in a bad state and played a game of mutual harm with Su Bei. No one wanted to know how to attack.
The trio, with only Duncan and Parker remaining, performed well and took over the Spurs' offensive output.
The combination of Nash and Stoudemire kept shooting hard. Finally, they relied on the home court advantage to make free throws, which prevented the Suns' score from being too ugly.
At the end of the third game, the Spurs responded with a victory over the Suns, which evened the score gap between the two sides.
At the end of the first three quarters, the two sides were evenly matched. The game was very tense, and the suspense of the game was left until the fourth quarter.
