After dunking a basket, under Marion's full defense, Stephen fell silent again, but the chances of others were very good, especially Duncan, facing the double-teaming of Tim Thomas and Dior, still seemed to be coming. When he came to his own back garden, he wanted anything and everything, and ignored the Suns' defense.

However, the Suns' three-pointers seemed to continue the state of the last game. In the first quarter alone, they made four three-pointers and only five two-pointers. In addition to free throws, the Suns scored 25 points in a single quarter. Compared to their previous scoring in a single quarter, this score is not high, but you must know that their opponent is the Spurs. It is already very good to score 25 points. The Spurs only scored 23 points, and they are behind by two points. .

The Spurs scored eight points for Duncan, four for Stephen, five for Michael Finley, two for Muhammad, and four for Tony Parker. , Although Duncan played more openly, but after Duncan played a few times, he stopped playing hard blindly, but actively passed the ball for his teammates.

Duncan knew very well that with his own physical strength, if he continued to play so strongly, no matter how bad the opponent's defense was, if he hit the back, it would affect the state of the game due to lack of physical strength, but the team needed to fight as hard as possible. stay on the court, so Duncan will not just shoot at will just because the opponent empties.

After a quarter of experiments, Popovich came to the conclusion that the Spurs' defense was not as good as he had imagined, but fortunately, he was not affected by the Suns and would not fall into the Suns' offensive rhythm. Once they lose the rhythm they are used to and start running with the opponent, it will be the Spurs who will suffer.

In the second minute of the second quarter, Popovich replaced Duncan as usual and replaced Robert Horry. Exel on, Tony Parker off, in the starting lineup, except for Stephen, everyone else went off to rest.

The reason why he didn't replace Stephen was that Popovich mainly considered Stephen's restraining effect on the field. With Stephen around, he could basically restrain Marion, the opponent's main defensive player inside. Neither Bruce Bowen nor Brent Barry can play this role. In this way, it is not so easy to score inside or break through to the basket.

Who knows if this lineup has played for 2 minutes, Ginobili suddenly fell to the ground during a breakthrough, and then limped off to the court to rest. Barry was replaced, and Stephen was the offensive core of the bench.

This position used to belong to Stephen before, and Ginobili was just the distributor of the ball, but in the later stage, as Stephen played more and more games in the starting lineup, Ginobili began to take on more. The offensive mission suddenly became Stephen, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

Ginobili's specialty lies in that besides catching and shooting, his offense with the ball, especially his snake breakthrough, is very sharp. This is two different offenses from Stephen who likes to run without the ball and then attack the basket. Way, and Stephen does not focus on breakthroughs, he prefers post-up singles. Of course, this is also related to his poor ball-handling skills as Ginobili.

A breakthrough requires strong physical coordination, and it must also be combined with ball-handling skills, because before the start-up stage of the three-step layup, you have to dribble the ball every step. Stephen did not dribble in post-up singles. Problem, but it is not an easy task to control the ball well during the breakthrough process of changing direction, changing speed, increasing force, and reducing force.

Stephen is also well aware of this shortcoming, and plans to focus on solving this problem in this summer's training. Although it cannot be solved overnight, just one or two months of training can solve this problem, but this kind of special training is very easy. Bringing immediate results, at least allowing myself to use my footsteps to break through as before, instead of bullying others purely by strength like now.

After all, we played together for a long time before, and soon this feeling of incompatibility disappeared, and the Spurs were already behind by six points at this time. As Barbosa broke through to the basket like lightning, he raised his hand It was a layup, and while scoring two points, it also caused a foul by Nesterovic.

This defense Nesterovic made two mistakes in a row. The first was that after Brent Barry lost his position, his defense was not active, which caused Barbosa to easily reach the basket and score. The second mistake Even if the opponent has already vacated the ball and the ball is about to enter the basket, he still reaches out and hits the opponent's arm, giving the opponent a free throw.

As a veteran player who has played in the league for several years, Nesterovic should not make such a mistake. If it is too late to defend, you can choose to foul, but if you want to foul, you must commit early and send the opponent two free throws. You can't let the opponent score the ball. If the ball is already shot and is about to fly into the basket, if you still try to shoot it, that is to give the opponent points in vain.

This is not a problem of ability or awareness, but a problem of enthusiasm and concentration. Nesterovic did not put all his thoughts into the game. When he found a mistake, he hurriedly tried to make up for it with a foul. This has resulted in the current situation, and if the opponent scores a goal, another free throw will be added.

With Barbosa's free throw, the Suns expanded the score to nine points in one fell swoop. This is an obvious gap. For an offensive team like the Suns, once you let them open the score, you will narrow it down. It was very difficult, so Popovich repeatedly emphasized before the game that the two tasks of this game are to stabilize the rhythm of the game and maintain the score gap when falling behind.

After Van Exel controlled the ball and moved forward, Stephen was covering him on one side. The two ran and communicated with gestures. Just after halftime, the two suddenly separated from the left and the right, and then Van Exel Nash couldn't stop his speed at all. James Jones hurried over to help defend. At this time, Van Exel suddenly passed the ball to the parallel side.

Just when the Suns' attention was basically attracted by Van Exel, who was accelerating one step ahead, Stephen followed suit from the other side. Due to his empty hands, Stephen went deeper than Van Exel At one point, Marion was still defending him on his side at first, but he was quickly thrown behind him.

Although there was a gap of one step between the two, Stephen didn't dare to be careless at all. Marion's jumping and wingspan were very suitable for this kind of chasing and blocking shots. Stephen didn't want to be blocked by others, and then appear in the top ten shots. So after receiving the pass from Van Exel, he immediately soared into the air, jumped to the highest height, changed hands in the air, changed the ball to the other hand, and then stretched forward high.

Dior in front of him hid to the side long ago, Stephen's flight was unstoppable, and while Stephen was flying up, he had already felt that Marion was also flying up into the air, so Stephen didn't dare to relax even if he was in the air, waiting to fly close to the basket At the time, Stephen's hand holding the ball pulled back and drew an arc in the air before putting the ball into the basket.

After Stephen scored the ball, James Jones of the Suns missed a shot from outside the three-point line, but Marion threw the ball in. It was still a nine-point gap. After coming back, Stephen broke through and suddenly gave the ball to Brent Barry in the right corner, Brent Barryan hit a three-pointer.

The offensive initiator of the Suns is still Nash. Facing Van Exel's defense, Nash accelerated and slowed down twice. He broke through Van Exel by changing the rhythm alone, but just ran to the three-second zone , Robert Horry of the Spurs hurried over to intercept, but at this time Nash suddenly changed direction and ran towards the bottom corner.

But at this time, his hand was empty. At some point, he actually hit the ball and passed it to Dio under the basket. Dio didn't force a shot when facing Nesterovic, but turned around and passed the ball again. Passed to James Jones outside.

After James Jones made a pick-and-roll cooperation with Dior, he bypassed Nesterovich's defense, and just about to jump up and prepare to shoot, Stephen had already rushed over, grabbed the ball directly above his head, and was about to look up Looking for Van Exel's position, Marion blocked him.

The appearance of Marion delayed the Spurs' fast break, and then Marion ran back to prepare for defense. He played a huge role in the Suns' defensive system. It can be said that he and Lagabel are the only ones in the Suns who are serious about defense. Two, Lagabel is at best a single-defense vanguard, while Marion can defend from the outside to the inside, and he can be seen at any time.

After Stephen handed the ball to Van Exel, with Marion's inseparable entourage, he used Robert Horry's screen to block Marion, and then directly caught the ball and shot it. This shot was very fast, and Stephen received the ball sideways. , Turned around and started to shoot, the process was as smooth as flowing water, and the ball flew in without contact with the rim very face-saving.

Stephen's shot narrowed the gap to five points. At the same time, it also opened the prelude to the Spurs' pursuit of points and opened his own personal scoring show in the game. After Nash's horse-riding archery score returned the color, Stephen came over After that, he ran without the ball in a large area on the court, and finally ran out of an open space. Robert Horry's pass came immediately. Stephen was outside the three-point line, still turning around and taking off as before.

The gap of four points, looking back, on the Suns side, under such a tense atmosphere of pressure, Diaw's pass made a mistake, and it was passed directly to Brent Barry, and Brent Barry immediately made a long pass After halftime, Marion ran the ball into Stephen's hands. Although Marion had been following Stephen, he didn't dare to foul easily, and Stephen leaned on his body to score the ball.

This time Nash switched to himself to score, but the shot went wrong, the basketball board was taken by Nesterovich, and the Spurs failed to make a fast break. When he thought that Stephen was about to make a shot, Stephen broke through without warning and passed the ball to Nesterovic under the basket. Nesterovic easily tied the score with a layup.
