Losing this game, for the Suns, means that they have lost the home court advantage they have finally obtained. Although the Spurs and the Suns are the kind of teams with no difference in home and away records, but in the season In the playoffs, every advantage has to be taken into account, let alone home court advantage.

In addition to the support of the fans on site, the home field advantage also has inexplicable advantages, such as referees, atmosphere, and home facilities. For the Suns, losing this home field means that they must win an away game. able to win the game.

So the entire Suns team focused on the revenge of the second game, while the Spurs went to rest contentedly, and they had to play the second game here, so they had to rest well, even* *Vich didn't even think that he would win the first game so easily.

His original plan was to use the first game to test the Suns' offensive firepower, find out the weak points, and then try to get the second away game, but he didn't expect that the Suns would be taken down by the players as soon as they played. , until now, ** Weiqi still can't believe it.

After a day's rest, the American Airlines Center Arena rekindled the battle. The Spurs and the Suns seemed to repeat the process of the previous game. The Spurs were always in the lead in the first quarter. The only difference was that Stephen took over The banner of the team's offense.

The reason why he made the shot early was that he felt that the Suns' offense was a little more aggressive than the previous game, but his own team couldn't keep up with the scoring rhythm of the opponent, so he had to catch the ball ahead of time. With Stephen's participation in the team's offense, the Spurs led the Suns by six points.

Stephen scored eleven points in this section, but no one noticed that there was a hint of danger hidden in the seemingly normal process. Even **vich felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know the problem out there.

In the second quarter, the situation suddenly changed. The Suns caught up to the score in less than 2 minutes. Although Stephen tried his best to score, facing the full-fire Suns, he alone One person is still a bit weak, the Suns went from behind to the lead, and the Spurs have been struggling to catch up.

The offense of the Suns seemed to be crazy, scoring 32 points in a single quarter, while the Spurs only scored 21 points when Stephen scored with all his strength, and Stephen scored [-] points alone, but later because of teammates If he is not strong, the Suns can use Marion and Lagabel to flank him, and it becomes difficult for him to score.

At halftime, **Vich began to feel embarrassed. The team is now behind, and the Suns are still scoring very well. How to deal with the opponent's offense? The Spurs are the best team in the fourth quarter, but It doesn't mean that the Spurs can reverse the score when they fall behind.

The Suns are not vegetarian either. With their offensive rhythm, it will be very difficult to chase points, and the Spurs basically have no good defense against them, so **Vichitch dare not put his hope in the fourth place It is best to reverse the score in the third quarter. Even if they do not lead, they must enter the fourth quarter with a tie.

How to play the third quarter? Due to the lead, the Suns replaced Nash in the second half of the second quarter. Even so, the Spurs failed to seize this opportunity and rested for one and a half quarters and one halftime , For Nash, who played more than 10 minutes at every turn, it is entirely possible to play the entire second half. How should the Spurs deal with this situation.

First of all, it is definitely impossible to have all the substitutes, and Stephen will definitely have to rest for a while. It is impossible to send him at the beginning of the game. As for the other main players, should they be sent at the beginning? **Vich thought. Suddenly, it was decided to change the lineup for the third quarter.

In the end, the Spurs put out a lineup of Duncan, Robert Horry, Bruce Bowen, Ginobili, and Tony Parker, while the Suns replaced Marion with James Jones and Raja with Barbosa. Bell, Stoudemire and Nash remained on the court, plus Diaw.

This lineup is not inferior to the Spurs at all. At the beginning of the first day, the Spurs still had a slight advantage, but they only narrowed the gap by four points, and then they were powerless. After a stalemate for 3 and a half minutes, the Spurs He began to show signs of dissatisfaction.

Although **Vich called a timeout in a hurry, the timeout did not reverse the situation of the game. The Spurs were once again opened up by the Suns. **Vich had to replace Bruce Bowen with Stephen in a hurry. This is already the most powerful lineup of the Spurs.

The Suns also quickly replaced Marion and Lagabel. Today, the two of them were specially designed to deal with Stephen. The Suns would rather let Ginobili score easily than let Stephen score. The strategy did pay off, too.

Although Ginobili's scoring has become easier, he cannot beat the entire Suns team alone. The Spurs' scoring has always been in a state of fragmentation, while the Suns have scored consecutively. It quickly came to more than twenty points.

Throughout the third quarter, the Suns scored another 22 points, while the Spurs only scored [-] points, and Stephen only scored seven points, two of which were obtained through free throws. Called two fouls by the referee.

This is the role of the home court advantage, and there is no way for Vic to sit there. The player has tried his best to fight hard, and he has done everything he can. He has fully played the role of the coach. , but the game is like this, it does not mean that you can win the game if you do everything well, because the opponent may do better than you.

What the coach can play is two aspects. One is the spiritual level, which stimulates the fighting spirit and self-confidence of the players, allows the players to put their minds into the game, as well as the desire for victory and the pursuit of honor. This job **Vichic is doing very well Relaxed, the atmosphere of the Spurs allows him to not worry about those things at all.

The other is at the technical and tactical level. This is **Vich's strong point, but this can only be said to make up for or improve a certain combat power, and it cannot solve all problems. Many tactical opponents lose games. The current game is like this, and it is no longer something that tactics can solve.

The fourth quarter is about to start soon, and **Vichitch did not make new personnel adjustments, but just let the players strengthen their cooperation. There is still one quarter left. It is not that there is no chance of winning. He has no information about this. Say more, because the players have enough mental preparation.

In addition to strengthening the tactical running position, we should also pay attention to creating more scoring opportunities for Stephen, because Stephen has always been outside the tactical system, tactics did not create any opportunities for him, and he is still the best scorer of the Spurs. threatening player.

On the court, it was very effective at the beginning. Duncan and Ginobili have been creating opportunities for Stephen, and Stephen also rewarded his teammates for their support by scoring six points in a row, but the referee soon judged Stephen An offensive foul interrupted Stephen's offensive rhythm, and then the Suns rolled back and started scoring like crazy again.

After stopping for two rounds, Stephen showed his power again. This time, he hit Marion with a three-plus-one. After Stephen made a free throw, the score was reduced to more than [-] points. However, the referee quickly awarded a three-second defense to Stephen. It's really speechless, even Vicky rushed to the referee to protest, but it was useless.

Stephen suppressed his anger and steadily threw the ball into the basket, but the Suns immediately made a three-pointer from the outside by Marion. The Spurs never gave up and were chasing hard, but the Suns kept on With their offensive efficiency and offensive effect, the Spurs were exhausted to catch up, but they could not narrow the gap.

In the end, the Spurs were obviously showing signs of fatigue, and finally they could not keep up with the pace of the Suns in terms of scoring. The gap in the game was widened again. Although Stephen had been working hard, the defensive pressure of the Suns was all concentrated. He was alone, and under the referee's focus, he couldn't give full play to his strength advantage. The game passed by like this, and the Spurs never had a chance.

The referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game. In the last 2 minutes, **Vitch replaced Stephen and the others. Use it when you are at home.

In this way, the Spurs lost the game. The Spurs only scored 87 points in this game, while the Suns scored 24 points. Although Nash's score dropped compared to the previous game, he only scored [-] points. But again sent out sixteen assists.

In this game, under the strict defense of the Suns and the double attack of the two, Stephen only scored 31 points, grabbed 21 rebounds, but only had two assists, and committed five fouls. Duncan scored [-] points With eleven rebounds and one assist, the assists of the Spurs team have dropped significantly in this game. It is conceivable how the Spurs' offensive efficiency is.

After the game, the Spurs boarded the bus and headed for the airport. They couldn't wait to go back to San Antonio, heal their injuries at their home, and at the same time prepare to take revenge on the Suns at their home court. At the same time, the Suns set off behind them. They rushed over, because there was only one day of rest between the two games, and they didn't want to waste the daytime on the road.
