On March 10, the Warriors faced the Spurs away from home.
Before the game, Spurs head coach Popovich deliberately teased Sun Yi during an interview.
"Tonight's game will be very difficult. We will face the league's hot new star Sun Yi. His recent form has been very hot, scoring 40+ points in a row. We have no way to limit his scoring. We can only pray that Sun Yi can be merciful."
In the visiting team's locker room, Sun Yi chuckled after watching Popovich's interview video.
This is a trick used by the old guy. He will not be fooled easily. He immediately cheered up and paid attention to tonight's game.
Not long after, Nelson led the coaching staff into the locker room, and then performed pre-game mobilization as usual, giving the players blood injections.
After everything was ready, Nelson led the Warriors players out of the locker room with a wave of his hand and walked toward the playing field with great pride.
When Sun Yi entered the court and saw Duncan and Ginobili sitting on the Spurs bench in casual clothes, he felt extremely depressed.
He immediately understood that he had been tricked by Popovich.
This shameless old guy took a break again and put Duncan and Ginobili on the bench, leaving Parker to lead the team alone.
Although the Warriors gave up Curry, the Spurs did not need to give up Duncan and Ginobili.
Who are you looking down on? !
Moreover, this game is very important for the Spurs and is likely to affect their first place in the Western Conference. After all, they are only two games ahead of the second-place Mavericks.
Sun Yizhen doesn’t know what the Spurs coaching staff is thinking!
But in any case, it is undoubtedly good news for the Warriors that Duncan and Ginobili take turns.
After the pre-game warm-up activities, the game officially started.
The starting lineup sent by the Spurs is: Parker, Hill, Jefferson, McDyess, and Blair.
The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is: Bledsoe, Tony Allen, Sun Yi, David Lee, Chandler.
In the jump ball session, Chandler took off hard and was the first to hit the basketball and move back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first opportunity to attack.
Bledsoe dribbled the ball forward quickly, came to the frontcourt and passed the ball out.
In the high post area on the right, Sun Yi received the pass and faced Jefferson's defense, making a triple threat action.
Jefferson did not dare to act rashly and stretched his arms to interfere and prevent Sun Yi from making a pull-up jumper.
Seeing this, Sun Yi raised his hand to fake a shot, shook Jefferson's center of gravity, quickly released the ball to break through, and made an emergency stop in the mid-range area on the right side to hit a jump shot.
The ball transitions and the Spurs attack.
Parker dribbled to the frontcourt and made a tactical gesture, then controlled the ball and ran towards the right side of the three-point line at a 45° angle.
Jefferson, who was standing at a 45° angle outside the right three-point line, ran towards Parker at the same time.
At this time, Parker has two options. He can either use a fake hand-off pass to confuse the Warriors, and then seize the opportunity to break through directly along the sideline; or he can pass the ball to Jefferson first, then quickly move without the ball, and then reach out. Get the ball back.
At the same time, McDyess quickly stepped forward to set an off-ball screen for Jefferson.
Parker didn't find a good opportunity to break through and immediately passed the ball to the top of the key.
Jefferson used the screen to get rid of the defense and quickly ran to the top of the arc, received Parker's pass, and hit a three-pointer.
Sun Yi saw the Spurs' smooth cooperation and had to admit that the old guy Popovich had a few tricks up his sleeve.
Back, the Warriors attack.
Sun Yi quickly ran to the mid-range area on the right, leaned against Jefferson to get in position, and then reached out for the ball.
Bledsoe immediately lobbed the ball over and then ran quickly without the ball.
After Sun Yi caught the ball, he saw McDyess running towards him quickly from the corner of his eye. He immediately used his strength to push away Jefferson behind him and turned over to shoot a fadeaway jumper.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Under the basket, Chandler took advantage of his height and wingspan to pick out the ball.
David Lee grabbed the basketball near the free throw line and hit a mid-range jumper.
Immediately afterwards, the Spurs once again played tacit tactical cooperation.
Unfortunately, Hill missed a three-point shot from the outside and failed to complete this attack.
Sun Yi retreated into the penalty area to grab the rebound, quickly advanced towards the frontcourt, and launched a defensive counterattack.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Warriors quickly followed suit.
The Spurs players retreated quickly and in an orderly manner, keeping an eye on their defender.
Seeing that the fast break failed, Sun Yi immediately made a tactical gesture, dribbled slowly to a position 45° outside the left three-point line, and suddenly changed direction and moved towards the center.
David Lee and Chandler, who followed up at the same time, immediately set up two consecutive screens for Sun Yi.
Sun Yi bypassed the screen and went straight to the basket. After a physical confrontation with Blair who stepped forward to defend, Sun Yi made a tough layup.
It was the Spurs' turn to attack, and they used a double-cover tactic in this round.
Parker quickly bypassed the screen and broke through to the front of the three-second zone, and immediately made a throw.
Chandler retreated to the basket and had no time to step forward to interfere. He could only watch the ball and sigh.
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
In the first few rounds, the two teams fought back and forth, with no one taking advantage.
As the game progressed, the two sides intensified their physical confrontation, causing the shooting percentages of both teams to decline.
About 7 minutes into the first quarter, the head coaches of both teams began to make substitutions.
The Warriors replaced Bledsoe, David Lee and Chandler and replaced Moreau, Battier and A-Lian.
The Spurs replaced Hill, Jefferson and McDyess and replaced Gary Neal, Danny Green and Bonner.
Seeing Danny Green on the stage, Sun Yi originally wanted to suggest that the team trade this guy, but with Brewer, Morrow and others, the team naturally has no shortage of role players.
I just didn't expect Popovich to have such a good vision and trade Green in the cheapest way.
Back in the game, the Warriors served a baseline kick.
Sun Yi caught the ball and advanced quickly. After reaching the frontcourt, he waved to Ah Lian and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.
Arab League quickly stepped forward to coordinate with the pick-and-roll.
Although the quality of the Arab pick-and-roll was not high and he could not completely block Green, it was enough to bring Blair out of the paint.
Bypassing the screen, Sun Yi rushed straight towards the basket.
Danny Green squeezed through the screen and immediately moved sideways to block it.
But at this stage, Green has not grown up yet, and his body is not strong enough yet, and he cannot stop Sun Yi at all.
Sun Yi made a tank-like breakthrough and ruthlessly crushed Green, quickly rushed into the penalty area, jumped into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
In the next round, Parker used the screen of his teammates to break through to the basket and fly for a layup. He was interfered with and failed to hit.
The Warriors protected the rebound and immediately launched a defensive counterattack.
Sun Yi took the ball and dribbled it. Seeing his teammates running out of opportunities, he immediately passed the ball.
Morrow, who was about to get off the ball, received the pass, came to the right side of the three-point line and jumped directly to hit a three-pointer.
On the Spurs bench, Popovich saw that the situation was not good and immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to make adjustments.
