NBA: The stars return to the peak, and the battle of the gods begins

The Iceman rushed to the basket, but he didn't escape the defense of Marion the Hacker.

No way, Marion is one of the Suns' strongest defensive players.

However, even so, Iceman still came to his layup range with his own rhythm.

Then he took a big leap forward.

In the air, Iceman lifted the ball gracefully.

Before Marion had time to block the shot, the Iceman displayed his unique technique of "fingertip picking".

Lin Nan on the sidelines was stunned. It's hard to imagine that a rough guy can make such a soft pick-up action.

shuh~~~
After the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, it flew directly into the net.

[Fingertip pick basket, well-deserved reputation. 】

[I want to learn the shooting action of Iceman. 】

[Don't think about it, many NBA players can't learn this move. 】

[Who can give the little brother an iceman?I don't know much about these old players. 】

[Iceman is a player with strong scoring ability. He has won 4 scoring titles in the regular season, but his defense is very average.

Therefore, he is still a little short of a top superstar]

After the Iceman scored the ball, the Spurs fans stood up and applauded him, thanking the Iceman for bringing them a wonderful goal.

But Iceman seemed like nothing happened, he quickly ran back to the backcourt to defend.

Iceman's personality traits are that he is very calm, not to mention scoring two points, even if he scores 50 points, he will never make a fuss, and he is always very calm to do what he should do next, just like Popovich The coaching style is a perfect fit.

In order to let Marion, who is facing the Iceman, show his skills.

Nash deliberately cooperated with the hacker in a pass.

Nash first used a breakthrough to attract defensive attention, and then he passed the ball to Marion on the weak side of the baseline.

Once he got the ball, Marion was like a wild horse, he took the ball and went straight to the basket.

Iceman, who is weak in defense, can't stop it at all.

However, the Spurs have twin towers under the basket, and they will not let Marion come in and out at will.

Stone Buddha raised his hands to block Marion's way.

In this case, most players will choose an emergency stop jumper.

Marion doesn't want to do it, he's going to dunk, he roars and leaps.

Duncan was directly knocked down by Marion. Lying on the ground, Duncan watched Marion above his head complete a ferocious dunk.

beep~~~
The referee whistle followed.

Calling Shi Buddha for blocking the foul, Shi Buddha didn't say anything, just stared at the referee with confused eyes, as if he couldn't understand why the referee didn't call Marion a foul for charging.

Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, was full of complaints. He felt that the penalty was unfair at all.

In fact, Popovich knew very well that when Shifo blocked just now, his feet were not steady, and the referee's penalty for blocking fouls was very reasonable.

Marion made a free throw, and the young fans laughed.

They were touched by Marion's weird free throw gesture.

The hacker's free throw posture is very ugly, but Marion's free throw percentage is very high.

Career 81% free throw percentage.

Shua~~~ Marion made a free throw.

At 9 minutes and 44 seconds of the first quarter, Admiral Robinson received a second pass from Parker, and he singled Ayton with his back and easily scored the ball.

Against Ayton, the Admiral has almost no pressure.

In his opinion, these young players are too soft.

As one of the four traditional centers, Admiral has fought many tough battles.

The inside players he faced were simply incomparable to Ayton in terms of physical confrontation.

Ayton also realized it. Just now when he was facing Robinson, he had a taste of what muscle collision is. He wanted to say, what the hell.

Nash also scored the first goal of the field.

Seeing that the phone will be good, the long-haired Nash accurately hit a three-pointer from the outside.

As the initiator of the running and bombing tactics back then, Nash was a superb passing master.

And he's not only a passing master, he's also an accurate shooter.

If you defend me, pass it, if you let me go, you will die.

On the offensive end, Nash at the peak is no less than Uncle Drew Irving in terms of threat.

The first quarter was 7 minutes and 22 seconds.

The score was 17:12, and the Spurs trailed by five points.

Popovich finally couldn't sit still, he called the first timeout of the game.

Oh well, Popovich is about to make a big change.

Lin Nan heard that Popovich was going to replace Iceman, Robinson, and Murray.

Send the demon sword Ginobili, and Robert Horry who turned the person Nash hit on his back.

In addition to these two, Popovich also replaced the "heavenly broken foot" Bruce Bowen.

Bowen's small-movement defense has been criticized by many people, and he is famous in the league for his lackluster black feet.

He himself also admitted at the retirement ceremony that his defense had many inappropriate actions.

Even so, there's no denying that Bowen is a master perimeter defender.

He is the litmus test for top shooting guards.

A top shooting guard who can break Bowen's doggy defense and score at will in front of him.

At that time, it was mainly Xike, Dongai, Nanmai and Beika.

As for the Sun's Booker, Bowen will verify it next.

No, Booker met Bowen with the ball.

In order to better defend against opponents, Bowen had an in-depth understanding of Booker before the game.

He knows that Booker has a strong scoring ability, but his explosive power is not outstanding. He is not the type of player who relies on athletic ability to play.

Therefore, Bowen will not leave enough shooting space for Booker.

He used the defensive stunt of brown sugar defense. While his body was close to Bowen, Bowen would make small movements from time to time.

The whole Booker was very uncomfortable, which also made his forced jumper miss.

Shi Buddha took off the rebound, and he smashed the ball with one hand at Yaodao who was counterattacking.

The Suns quickly returned to defense.

Yaodao single-handedly rushed to the front court, facing the blocking Marion, the speed of Yaodao's feet did not decrease, and he used a snake-shaped breakthrough to cleanly pass Marion.

However, there is still Xiaobawang standing under the basket.

Yaodao made a good shot, facing Stoudemire's face to block the block, Yaodao made an incredible mid-air back layup.

He didn't look at the basket, and threw the ball behind his back with both hands.

The ball flew over the heads of the two, and then went straight to the basket.

shuh~~~
beep~~~
Yaodao is really demon enough, he not only scored the ball, but also made Stoudemire a foul.

Popovich, who was on the sidelines, didn't make any noise. In fact, he was already happy in his heart. He played a role just after Ginobili was deployed, which was very efficient.

Yaodao made a free throw, and at 17:15, the Spurs narrowed the point difference to two points.

However, the firepower of the Suns is still very strong. Booker stopped sticking to the ball too much under Nash's suggestion, that is, he shot when he caught the ball, and did not give Bowen a close-up defense.

Booker received the pass from Shih and made a direct jumper. Booker's shooting ability was well demonstrated, and he made the ball.

Just to get rid of Bowen's defense, Booker used a lot of energy to run non-stop.

Fortunately, the ball was scored in the end, otherwise coach De Antoni planned to replace Booker.
