Chapter 391

After defeating the Utah Jazz, the Phoenix Suns ended their consecutive home games and started their road trip.

The first challenge is a hard bone, which is the defending champion Spurs.

This season, the San Antonio Spurs, in addition to maintaining a stable core lineup, also grabbed Finley and Van Exel in the free market.

Although the Heat in the East also showed strong potential, the Spurs are better than any other team in terms of lineup polishing, player equipment, and even experience.

This season, the Spurs also showed their strength in the regular season. Currently, they are in a hot state, with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Western Theater. All teams in the Western Theater have problems of one kind or another. At that time, he showed a powerful performance of Yiqi Juechen.

Of course, if you put it on the league, the Spurs can only rank second in the regular season.

The Pistons currently have 8 consecutive victories and are determined to grab home court advantage in the playoffs, and they have worked hard to overwhelm the Spurs.

However, the Spurs are constantly testing the lineup or performing rotations. Anyway, they regard the regular season as a training ground for practicing and polishing the lineup.

It can be seen how powerful such a Spurs team is!

Before the game, media reporters were almost one-sidedly optimistic about the Spurs defeating the Suns. The Spurs are recognized as strong and are optimistic about building a dynasty. However, the Suns have a big problem this season. Poaching, the most important thing is that the Suns are still playing back-to-back away games.

Regardless of the time, place and people, the Spurs have the upper hand. It is really difficult for the Suns to counterattack and defeat such a Spurs! !

At 10 p.m., AT&T Center Arena, the Phoenix Suns will face off against the San Antonio Spurs.

After a simple appearance and a layup shot to warm up, the starting lineups of both sides lined up and came to the middle circle of the basketball court. The game began with a scrimmage.

The starting lineup of the Spurs is relatively stable, lined up, followed by point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Manu Ginobili, small forward Chris Bowen, power forward Tim Duncan, center center Strovic.

The Suns' starting five are point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Lagabel, small forward Leandro Barbosa, power forward Sean Marion, and center Amare Stoudemire. you.

beep! !

The whistle sounded from the referee's mouth, and then the basketball in his hand was thrown high into the sky.

Thomas VS Duncan! !
Duncan's physical talent is unparalleled, and his skills are also superb. He easily overwhelmed Thomas and dialed the basketball into Tony Parker's hands.

The game started in the first quarter, and the Spurs got the ball for the pick.

With long legs, Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He didn't rush to attack, and watched Nash's marking indifferently. After his teammates settled down, he immediately hoisted the basketball into the inside lane.

Hold high and play high, wisely use the advantages of the inside to attack the Suns' defensive loopholes.

The Spurs have absolute strength, but the execution of tactics is so rigorous, it is terrifying to think about it!
In the low position on the left, Duncan easily received the ball without any extra moves, and directly played Marion with his back.

As opponents in the Western Conference finals last season, the Spurs are naturally very familiar with the Suns, and Duncan is also very familiar with Marion, who defends him.

He knows that his physical strength, height, and low-post singles skills all have obvious advantages. As long as he plays inside, his offensive threat will be stronger.

Marion lowered the center of gravity of his body, put his left hand on Duncan's waist, and was short of defending with an elbow, but still couldn't stop Duncan's impact.

After pecking twice deep inside, Duncan immediately swayed his shoulders. After making a fake move, he turned around and dribbled the ball, and easily wiped it into the basket without pausing. Steadily scored into the basket and scored a two-pointer first.

2 to 0! !
Shifo's offensive power was indeed stable and powerful, easily piercing through the Suns' inside defense, steadily taking points from the Suns' defense.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Suns attack, Tomari catches the ball from the bottom line and sends it quickly, Nash catches the ball with a tacit understanding, increases the speed, and the Suns players rush up.

Nash turned around and dribbled the ball, avoiding Parker's stealing defense, and swept his teammates' running positions while running.

Barbosa and Lagabel, one on the left and one on the right, rushed forward like two unsheathed sharp swords, piercing the Spurs' ribs, while Marion in the middle was like a wild horse, striding like a wind, straight Shock the heart of the Spurs.

Nash didn't stop for half a point, running like a quarterback, pushing with both hands, and passed a long pass without looking at people.

The basketball fell into Barbosa's hands precisely like a cannonball.

Barbosa received the ball and dribbled one step, broke through to the inside, and after attracting Ginobili's defense, he immediately pulled the ball and jumped up, quickly distributing the basketball to the center.

Marion rushed over, caught the ball easily, rushed to the basket without dribbling, and jumped up, his body blooming in the air, very stretched.

The basketball was smashed into the basket in the air, and the tomahawk dunked.

With a loud bang, the basketball dunked steadily into the basket, scored two points, and returned the favor.

2 to 2! !
The Suns now have three guards in the formation. Even the height of Marion, who plays power forward, is not as tall as a guard.

With such a lineup, the mobility of rushing up is unparalleled, not to mention that the Spurs are also playing a double-tower tactic.

With Duncan and Nesterovic, the Spurs have an absolute upper hand in terms of height and strength. However, the Suns have moved the competition to running. Although the Spurs have a French sports car and Ginobili, Bowen can make three points. The running players still couldn't stop their bodies from rushing up and beating the booming Suns.

Both parties have their own strengths and weaknesses, and both have their own strengths!

The Spurs attacked, and Tony Parker dribbled to the frontcourt. The style of play was very calm. He continued to observe the dribble and look for opportunities.

In the last round, Marion was easily overwhelmed by Duncan. With top-level defensive skills and awareness, he will naturally not suffer the same loss again, and directly defend Duncan close to the front.

Duncan wanted to use his physical strength to catch the ball. Marion used his physical strength and flexibility to catch the ball without fear of physical strength.

Seeing that Duncan had difficulty overcoming Marion's approach, Parker didn't hesitate, and immediately distributed the ball to the outside line on the right.

At the 65-degree three-pointer line on the right, Ginobili faced the frame and assumed an offensive three-threat posture.

The demon knife with endless offensive methods has comprehensive offensive skills, and he plays with a brain, can pass, shoot, and break through.

Lagabel lowered his body, blocked Ginobili's eyes with his right hand, interfered with the opponent's shooting, and followed Ginobili closely, neither giving the opponent a shot nor trying to break through. no.

Naturally, Ginobili would not follow Gabel's wishes, directly lift the ball over the top, and make a three-point shooting posture.

Lagabel knows that Ginobili has a strong scoring ability and has the ability to score three-pointers. Naturally, he dare not let Ginobili easily shoot three-pointers in front of his eyes.

Lagabel rushed forward, wanting to give Ginobili a close defense. With the change of the league's defensive rules, which are more and more beneficial to offensive players, he did not dare to rush too much.

However, he didn't expect that Ginobili's body twisted at an incredible angle, and then he pulled the ball down, turned around to pass his defense, rushed into the three-point line, and immediately displayed his special skills, breaking through in a serpentine step , One step at a time, after passing Thomas' supplementary defense, he went to the basket, pulled the ball to the basket and swayed a shot, and after flying Marion's block, he then made a ground pass and sent the basketball to the left basket Down.

Duncan easily caught the ball, jumped up, and with a loud bang, he hung on the basket, dunked with both hands, easily ate the cake, and scored a two-pointer.

4 to 2! !
The Spurs' offense, in addition to the performance of the stars, also has the team's cooperation and simple tactics, which can easily tear through the Suns' defensive line and score easily.

The Suns attacked, and Nash wanted to speed up and run away, but he was entangled by Tony Parker, who had been prepared, and did not give the Suns a chance to rush up.

Ginobili did not rush back to defend, but assisted Parker to suppress the Suns' offensive rhythm, prevent Nash from transferring the ball, and continued to speed up and run.

The Suns' stormy 7-second run and bombing is still very scary.

Every team facing the Suns naturally understands that as long as the Suns' offensive rhythm is interrupted and their speed cannot be raised, their offensive firepower will drop by a notch.

Nash couldn't increase his speed and could only play positional warfare.

Dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, dribbled continuously in the middle, forcibly broke through Tony Parker, reached the three-point line, and used Marion's cover to get rid of Parker's defense.

One step from the free throw line, he immediately drew his bow and set up an arrow, and opened his hand to make a small throw of horseback archery.

Nesterovic's movement speed is too slow, and his defense can't stop Nash's shot at all.

Nash pulled the ball up, stepped in the air, flicked his right hand, and the basketball flew over Nesterovic's head, drawing a very high arc.

Bang!
There was a crisp beating sound.

As if the basketball had eyes, it accurately hit the center of the backboard, bounced into the basket after hitting the board, scored two small throws steadily, and scored two points.

4 to 4! !
With the absence of Stoudemire, Nash has strengthened his offensive scoring several times. As long as his offensive scoring threat increases, the offensive space of his teammates will increase.

If he still maintains the offensive rhythm of last season and waits until his teammates' offense is not strong and he needs his offensive score before he makes a shot, then it will be too late for the Suns to win.

Therefore, Nash changed his playing style, bringing scoring and assists to the same level, which has a greater chance, and uses the same offensive method instead of struggling with assists all day long.

The Spurs attacked, Tony Parker dribbled the ball to the front court, and glanced at Manu Ginobili. Suddenly, a change of direction accelerated and broke through. Using his speed, he forced his way into the three-point line. Nash reacted quickly and moved laterally to keep up. He wanted to block Parker's breakthrough direction with his body.

Parker rushed into the horn area, immediately pulled the ball up, made a two-pointer and made a mid-range jumper.

Parker's offense is to use a fast word, quick burst and quick shot!

Although Nash defended actively, he was still caught off guard by Parker. When he rushed to block the shot, Parker had already completed his shooting action.

The basketball flew to the hoop.

Bang! !

Parker's shots are quick, relying entirely on the feel at the moment of the shot. This style of play, when the feel is good, is hard to guard against, and when the feel is bad, this style of play has the potential to be an undercover agent.

Parker's offense fell through, his two-point pull-up jumper missed, and the basketball bounced off the hoop.

Duncan blocked Marion on the left side of the basket, making Marion unable to move. Nesterovic also relied on his weight and body on the right side to squeeze Thomas into the basket without a trace of space.

Duncan easily took off the rebound from Marion's head, lifted the ball to the basket immediately after landing, and then pushed the basketball out of the perimeter with both hands.

At the bottom corner of the left three-point line, Chris Bowen received the ball from Duncan. There was no unnecessary movement, and there was no trace of hesitation on his face. An arc of a full moon crossed the sky.

Swish! !

There was a crisp netting sound.

Bowen's three-pointer hit the basket accurately, and the three-pointer pierced through the heart and into the net, overflowing with white net flowers.

7 to 4! !
Chris Bowen's offensive threat is only the bottom corners of the three-point line on the left and right sides, followed by dunks under the basket.

His offensive ability is really not strong, but Popovich only asked him to practice the three-point corners on the left and right sides, making him a top "3D player".

With this precise corner three-pointer, no team dares to underestimate the Spurs' outside offensive firepower.

Bowen is the strongest thorn in the Spurs' defense. In fact, his Spurs' offense is also a hard bone.

His shots are very resolute, and his execution ability is top-notch. If the opponent flanks Duncan, as long as Duncan points the ball to the outside, he will shoot a three-pointer without hesitation. Whether he goes in or not, he will play this tactical effect.

After shooting corner three-pointers for many years, Bowen has also become a fixed-point three-point shooter. Although his shooting area is very limited, it gives people a bright feeling.

The Suns' offense was also very tenacious. Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but he couldn't run and shoot. He directly used his breakthrough ability to get inside the three-point line.

Parker's speed is also very strong, closely following Nash, did not let the opponent get rid of.

During the march, Nash stepped down to dribble, shot the basketball from the right side to the left side, took a big step across, and made a posture of pulling the ball and shooting.

Parker desperately turned back to chase, his body's center of gravity was heavy, Nash lightly moved the basketball back to the right, with one hand of his body and force with his feet, he immediately rushed into the inside line.

Under the basket full of people, Nash didn't find a chance to make an easy shot. His face was not anxious, as if he was strolling in a garden, he got the bottom line from the right side of the basket and dribbled from the left side.

Just when the Spurs thought that Nash would dribble out of the outside line and reorganize the offense, Nash killed a carbine, pulled the ball feigned, and made a pass posture, but suddenly turned around and pulled the ball up, pulling the ball in the air. With a stretch, after dodging Duncan's block, he hooked his left hand, and the basketball spun and flew to the basket, as if it had eyes, wiped the backboard, got into the basket, and scored two points.

7 to 6! !
Nash played the demeanor of a superstar, skilled and bold, single-handedly, broke into the inside of the Spurs, and after strengthening the entire defense of the Spurs, he calmly attacked the basket and succeeded.

Parker didn't let Nash be the only beauty. He quickly dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point line, changed direction with a step-down dribble, and went inside the three-point line. He took a step from the free throw line and pulled the ball up. Throwing.

Parker's small throw was a little more free and easy, very casual, but the basketball got into the basket precisely, and two points were returned.

9 to 6! !
As soon as the Spurs started the game, they played a three-man offense of the "GDP combination". The three stars worked together to play the game of Sanying against Lu Bu with the Suns.

The two teams actually fought back and forth, and no one could do anything to the opponent.
