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

Looking back, Horry suddenly cast a cold arrow from the outside and scored the ball.

Huo Li, who had already stood at the top of the arc and was ready to go after receiving the demon knife to break through the ball, just raised his hand and it was a three-pointer.

The basketball is like a locator installed, and it flies straight to the center of the net with precision.

It has to be said that the performance of the Spurs' substitutes did not lose to the main players at all.

In fact, they already have the ability to play the main force.

But for the sake of the team, these players are willing to play as substitutes.

Over the years, the Spurs have maintained a good team atmosphere as always, which is enough to make Popovich proud.

In the next few rounds, the Spurs also began to speed up their offensive rhythm.

The Suns' run-and-bomb tactics made the Spurs hard to defend.

And the Spurs have a troika of GDP to open the way, and it is also difficult for the Suns to limit the Spurs' scoring.

The two sides can only hope that the opponent's hand feels a cooling-off period.

Otherwise, if you want to kill the opponent, the only way is to kill the opponent.

The first quarter is over.

At 41:38, the Suns temporarily led the Spurs by 3 points.

Both sides scored very high, and in terms of shooting percentage, the Suns hit an astonishing 63.2% in the first quarter, and the Spurs even more astonishing 65.1%.

Although the Spurs have a higher shooting percentage than the Suns, in terms of scoring, they are still three points behind the Suns.

The reason is that the Suns made more three-pointers than the Spurs.

In the second quarter, Popovich replaced Bowen with the Iceman, and he wanted to strengthen the team's offense.

It has to be said that the old man's substitutions can almost achieve results every time.

Then again, this is also inseparable from the players' outstanding personal abilities, strong ability, and strong execution ability.

Iceman standing near the free throw line, he received the pass from Yaodao and got up to shoot a jumper.

In addition to the picturesque fingertip picking, the Iceman with excellent touch is also very accurate in shooting.

After jumping, Iceman paused in the air, as if taking aim.

"Whoosh!"

The Iceman throws the ball, and the ball crashes into the net.

Suns coach D'Antoni shook his head with a smile on the sidelines. If even Marion can't limit the Iceman's scoring, then he can't help it.

The Sun immediately returned one, and the Brazilian Lightning Barbosa used a breakthrough to score the ball.

D'Antoni sent Barbosa for two purposes. In addition to allowing Nash to take a breather, the other is to let Barbosa play the role of a surprise soldier.

Another substitute for the Suns is Lagabel. It is hard to imagine that this young man who once locked Kobe's throat turned out to be a vegetarian.

Lagabel was facing the demon knife, and D'Antoni sent him up to limit the demon knife's scoring.

As a top 3D player, Lagabel is the Suns perimeter defender, usually marking the core of the opponent.

On the offensive end, he also has to take on the three-point task, and he has both offense and defense.

Lagabel did not live up to coach D'Antoni's expectations, he quickly slapped the ball away from Yaodao's hand.

The ball fell on Yaodao's leg and touched the sideline, and the Suns won the ball.

Barbosa took the ball to the frontcourt. This time he did not choose to attack by himself. He passed the ball to the "Fa Country Magician" Dior on the inside.

As the backup center for the Suns in this game, Diaw claims to be a man who can play from position one to position five.

While having the height of a small forward, he also has the tonnage and skills of a center, as well as a heart to play point guard and the soul of a magician.

In this Suns team, Diaw passed the ball well as a center, played the best post-up as a guard, and had an excellent three-pointer before going big.

It has to be mentioned that Diaw once played for the Spurs, and it was because of his all-around performance that Popovich favored him.

In the season when the Spurs won the championship in 2013-2014, in the finals, the Spurs played against the Big Three of the Heat.

Diaw played an important role in the game, not only on the defensive end, he can deal with James and Bosh.

On the offensive end, he can also play the role of a guard, conduct, dribble, and organize, cooperate with the other three carriages, and add kawaii.

Several people teamed up to beat the Heat 4-1 in the game to win the championship.

At this moment, Dior raised the ball with one hand to face the stone Buddha.

While observing the situation on the field from the corner of his eyes, his mind is also spinning rapidly. Is it more appropriate to pass the ball to the team, or to attack by himself?
After 1.6 seconds passed, Dior chose to attack by himself.

With his back to the stone Buddha, he turned sharply and made a breakthrough to the right. Duncan quickly moved to block Dior's path.

It turned out that he was cheated by Dior. Dior suddenly changed hands and dribbled the ball to the left to break through. When Shifo lost his defense, Dior seized the opportunity and scored a layup.

After the goal, Diaw hurried back to defend, and Duncan chased him aside and said, "You should go back to the Spurs, this is your home!"

Diaw was speechless for a moment, thought for a while and said: "I miss the good time in the Spurs, but it's a pity that my peak is in the sun."

Dazedly shaking his fingers, he said, "No, your peak was in the Spurs. We have reached the finals twice and won a championship together. Don't talk about your time in the Suns. Anyway, you know it. The Spurs are the best." Where you take off!!!"

Diaw was distracted for a moment by the dumbfounding, and he suddenly regretted not going to the Spurs.

Don't look at Duncan's stupidity, he has a master's degree in psychology, and his way of fooling people is definitely no worse than those old sixes.

This is why Duncan is always so calm in the game.

His mental quality is among the top in NBA history.

Taking advantage of Dior's distraction, Duncan seized the opportunity and dunked one.

It's a very common dunk, if possible, I really want to do a windmill dunk on the spot~~~
This dunk made Dior wake up like a dream, man, I was brainwashed just now.

Diaw continued to play his all-around game. He floated on the outside to receive the ball. After seeing Duncan running out to defend, he passed the ball to the Hacker who ran inside.

Without Duncan inside, the Spurs are free to fly!
The hacker Marion roared and completed the one-handed dunk.

With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the second quarter, the score was 77:75.

Relying on the stable performance of inside players, the Spurs are always clinging to the score.

At this time, Popovich called a timeout.

The players from both sides took a rest, and the fierce confrontation made the players of both sides sweat.

Nash's long hair, wet.

Manu Yaodao's long hair was wet.

The players were busy wiping off sweat with towels.

There is only one player exception, and that is Iceman George Gervin.

Lin Nan saw that there was almost no sweat on his body.

It is for this reason that ice is known as the Iceman.

In college, George Gervin was like this. After his teammate Fati Taylor saw it, he called George Gervin "Iceberg Slim", which means slim iceberg.

And when the Iceman stepped into the NBA and became famous, people remembered the nickname.

From then on, they started calling Gervin "The Iceman," a man who couldn't run without breaking a sweat.
