This season, the Suns lead the entire league with an average of 110 points and [-] points per game, followed by the Mavericks, and among the nine teams with an average of [-] points per game, only the Grizzlies and Warriors have yet to enter the playoffs , The Grizzlies have no hope, but the Warriors still have a chance.

This season, both the Suns and the Mavericks have won [-] games in a row. In addition, they have [-] consecutive victories, [-] and [-] consecutive victories respectively. The strength of these two teams can be seen.

For this Suns team, **Vich thought it over and over again, and still felt that it would be better to play a confrontation with the opponent. Although it might expose the true offensive ability of the Spurs, what does it matter? If the team is clumsy, will others believe it?

Through the recent winning streak, others have also realized that the strength of the Spurs is not only in defense, but also scores more than [-] points in each game, and each game is a big victory of more than [-] points. Others have already regarded the Spurs as a team. Another copy of the Mavericks, although this name made **Vichitch feel a little uncomfortable, but it also proved in reverse. After Stephen returned, more and more teams have realized the strength of the Spurs.

Facing the Suns, the Spurs surprised them with the lineup. Duncan appeared at the center position, and Stephen became the team's fourth position, followed by Michael Finley, Ginobili, and Tony Parker. , D'Antoni was very puzzled after reading it.

Could it be that the Spurs are going to give up their strong and unusual bench and play a main-to-main game with the Suns?The Suns have always lacked suitable substitutes, and the playing time of the main teams has exceeded the league's standard, while the average playing time of the main players of the Spurs is among the bottom ranks in the league.

And when the game started and the Spurs started to score like crazy, the Suns couldn't understand what the Spurs were going to do. It's not like the Spurs didn't do such things before when they played against the Suns. It was in the playoffs, and the Spurs would only do this when there was nothing to think about. It is still the regular season. Could it be that the Spurs are giving up on this game.

The offense of the Spurs is different from that of the Suns. His attack time is not as short as that of the Suns, but the fluency of the offense is not bad. This is because even if the Spurs do not have Nash, he plays Among several players, each has the ability to pass and receive the ball quickly.

Moreover, Duncan, Tony Parker, and Ginobili have an unimaginable tacit understanding. They form a triangular offensive formation in the center. Play a pick-and-roll with Duncan, or play a tactical screen with Tony Parker or Ginobili above.

Faced with such an offensive tactic, the Suns couldn't provide a targeted defense at all. Of course, they were not good at defense. They only needed to play their own offense. In terms of output, they are not the opponents of the Spurs.

Among the five players of the Spurs, all of them are good players on offense, but the Suns are not. Lagabel is a defensive player. Not good at it, even Marion is far behind Stephen on the offensive end.

The best performer in the first quarter was Tony Parker. Facing Nash, whose height, strength, and speed were far behind him, he was as happy and comfortable as a fish in water. Just arranged half of the Spurs team's scoring.

However, although the two teams are playing quite fast, the success rate of the offense is not too high. The Spurs are not very used to this kind of offense, and the Suns did not expect the Spurs to play today. Playing like this is not psychologically prepared to deal with it.

They thought that the Spurs would fight against themselves with an impregnable defense, and they practiced how to use offense to tear through the Spurs' defense. At the same time, they were going to use Marion and Lagabel to pinch Stephen first, and lock up Stephen completely. After Ginobili played, Lagabel was assigned to deal with him. He never thought that the Spurs would attack like this.

Lagabel needs to defend Manu Ginobili here, while Stephen is on the other side of the court, Marion defends Stephen, and Stade Michael can't resist Duncan alone, but no matter who goes to help him, Duncan will A teammate who can split the ball in the air.

But even so, the Spurs were only on par with the Suns. The offense of the Suns was indeed nothing to brag about. In the second quarter, according to the normal rotation, the Spurs should be on the bench, but at this time , **Vitch only replaced Duncan and replaced Robert Horry.

At this time, Robert Horry changed positions with Stephen. Stephen was at the basket, but he was floating on the outside. This Marion was very hesitant. He didn't know whether to defend Stephen according to the pre-match arrangement, or follow The principle of counterpoint is to defend Robert Horry here.

Replacing Duncan made Stoudemire heave a sigh of relief. With Duncan under the basket, it was like a gate. With Duncan's basketball IQ and game experience, he could easily guess his offensive line and let him Unable to take advantage of his face-up attack, he can only shoot jump shots outside the three-second zone, and the hit rate is naturally not guaranteed.

But soon he discovered that it was not much easier to deal with Duncan when he was replaced by Stephen at the basket. Although his game experience was not as good as Duncan's, his mobility far surpassed Duncan's. Meyer managed to get to the basket, and just as he was about to get up and dunk, Stephen slapped him hard from behind.

After coming back in front of Stephen twice in a row, Stoudemire has a clear understanding of Stephen's ability. Even in the area under the basket, Stephen, who is less than two meters away, can still stop all attacks , due to a knee injury, he barely played last season, and this season, when the two teams met, Stephen was just suspended. He really doesn't know much about Stephen's ability. Now It was discovered that Stephen was able to win the best rookie, the best sixth man, and the most valuable player of the finals as a second-round pick. It is indeed not for nothing.

Stephen didn't have time to pay attention to Stoudemire's thoughts. Although due to his height, he couldn't control the overall situation like Duncan, with the vision and passing ability of the entire court, but he was more flexible than Duncan in terms of offense. Many, Stoudemire's defense against him is as if it does not exist. As long as the ball is in his hands, it is either a backhand layup or a flying dunk.

D'Antoni had no choice but to let Stoudemire come out and Marion go in to defend Stephen, but Marion's speed and reaction were enough, but his strength was not as good as Stephen's. It is not Stephen's opponent.

Fortunately, in the middle of the second quarter, Vivić finally replaced Stephen, which was rarely seen before. At the same time, Udic, Brent Barry, and Bruce Bowen were replaced, and Stephen went off the field together. , along with Michael Finley and Tony Parker.

Although this lineup is not as good as the Suns in terms of offensive power, but at this time, the Suns have also reached the time when they need to replace Marion. D'Antoni quickly replaced Marion, and he is still needed to defend Stephen in the second half. Hurry up Time to rest, while Nash and Stoudemire were replaced by Diaw and James Jones.

Substitutes on the two sides played against the substitutes, and the game seemed to be very lively, but neither scored too many points. At the end of the first half, the Suns were only one point ahead of the Spurs, and neither team scored more points. Forty. In the past, if it was any other team, the Suns would score at least [-] points in the first half. The Spurs successfully disrupted the Suns' offense with their own offense.

In the second half, Stephen and Duncan appeared on the court at the beginning, replacing Robert Horry and Ginobili. Fortunately, D'Antoni anticipated this situation and put Marion on the court. The inside combination of Te Thomas and Diaw will limit Duncan's scoring.

After Duncan received the ball, he swayed from side to side twice to deceive Kurt Thomas into losing his position. As soon as Dior rushed over, he was pushed aside by Duncan, but Duncan gave up the easy scoring opportunity. Duncan made a fake layup After the action, he suddenly threw the ball to Stephen who was outside the three-point line.

When Marion saw Duncan take the shot, he was negligent for a moment, and Stephen had already seized the opportunity to shoot the ball in his hand, and this three-pointer passed the basket without hindrance, helping the Spurs overtake by two points.

After coming back, Barbosa used lightning speed and weird footsteps to break through Udic's defense. Before Stephen rushed over, a high thrower scored two points to help the team equalize the score again, but Then Stephen made another unreasonable three-pointer to reopen the gap.

So the Suns scored two points, Stephen made a three-pointer, and when Stephen hit the basket for the fifth consecutive three-pointer, the Suns finally couldn't keep up with Stephen's scoring pace, and Stephen made five three-pointers in the game. After that, he suddenly gave up shooting outside the three-point line, but used his own attractiveness to the Suns' defense to help his teammates frequently and create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

In the third quarter, the Spurs scored 35 points and widened the gap to [-] points. Stephen scored nineteen and four assists in this quarter, which was based on the fact that he basically didn't make any shots in the second half of the quarter. obtained under the circumstances.

Relying on Stephen's advantage in the third quarter, the Spurs won the game. At the same time, they pressed the Rockets in the playoffs. As long as the Rockets lose one more game, they will slip from third In the fifth position, the Rockets couldn't help but not desperately, but unfortunately they were killed by the god-like Brandon Roy in the next day's game, and the Spurs officially completed the overtake.
