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 taking over, he easily broke the game.
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 strength.
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 masterful trick?
It’s too difficult, I can’t do it!
Fortunately, Barbossa is also a powerful man, with an excellent combination of technique, body and speed. The protrusion is an unstoppable knife. Let alone reaction, 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——!
32 to 31!
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 death-seeking behavior can still keep up with their offensive level, and even beat the Suns with their lethality. It's like hell.
No anti-theft
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. Unlike the Pistons, who can only defend desperately, as long as the Suns play a good offense. Rhythm can basically establish a lead.
The Spurs are different.
On the court, the Spurs attack.
With three carriages on the scene at the same time, it's too lazy to play team basketball.
"Parker responded to the ball and broke through Barbosa's defense with the same sharpness. Su Bei pounced to help defend, and the basketball was passed.
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——!
34 to 31!
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 too 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 it 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. Now with a hard knife, his knife wouldn't be enough to cut him if he charged forward.
“It was still a sharp breakthrough and a relentless 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 shooting rhythm, and shot the basketball...
Swish——!
Three point hit.
34 to 34!
"Su Bei couldn't miss the three-pointer and hit it again.
The score has returned to the same starting line, and 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 boards..."
The Spurs play very clearly. Fortunately, the Suns are not sluggish either. They speed up the attack and continue to consume the Spurs' physical energy.
This is a series of long-term battles. Every time the consumption is increased, a little bit of 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, they beat the Spurs with a score of 29 to 24. At the end of the first half, they 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 because 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 from opening up their 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 rest.
Rotation and adjustment of tactics is also a feature of the Spurs under Popovich. "
After recuperating for 15 minutes, he came back for the second half of the game.
The Spurs' lineup has become Francisco Elson, Duncan, Bowen, Ginobili and Parker, and the three carriages continue to return.
As for the Suns, they still have the starting lineup to face the challenge.
The third quarter started with the Suns attacking the 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——!
Lagabelle missed the shot.
His shooting is very touchy. He has hit a lot of three-pointers this season, but he is unstable.
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 first step of the Suns' defense.
Ginobili dribbled to the frontcourt, and the Spurs opened up their formation, allowing Ginobili to challenge Su Bei. 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 in a different 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.
Stone Buddha did not lose the face of Si Da Mian.
Duncan, who is 2.13 meters tall, faces 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 has to defend is the unsolvable Duncan, which makes this 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?
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 combination of Nash and Stoudemire to take over the Suns' offense.
"Stuudemire pulled out and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Nash.
Nash scored 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 and received Parker's pass. With only the basket in front of him, Stoudemire rushed over..."
Bang-dang——!
Duncan didn't hide and slammed the basketball into the basket.
The two sides returned to the same starting line in terms of score.
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 bad shape 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 of free throws to prevent the Suns' score from being too ugly.
At the end of the third game, the Spurs responded with a 26-22 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.
