Chapter 713
As the Warriors used another sweep to kill the Sonics, the matchup between the Spurs and the Suns directly entered everyone's attention!
In the previous first three games, the Spurs relied on a very good state, making them directly ahead of the Suns by as many as three games.

As a Suns team that brought infinite surprises in the regular season, even if they are now behind the Spurs, they are even regarded as the ultimate losers.

However, their playoffs this year really let people see their powerful attack power and desire for victory!

Now, as the Spurs get the final match point, after the Suns set foot on the land of San Antonio, they seem to be ruthless, and every player looks very serious!
"Steve, what are your plans for the next game?"

"Amare, as one of the Suns' offensive cores, do you have the confidence to win the next game?"

"Sean, for this battle of focus, who do you think will win in the end?"

As a reporter holding an interview device quickly surrounded the Suns players who had just walked out of the waiting hall, each question basically focused on how they would deal with this game!

After hearing these questions, several parties involved in the Suns obviously did not have any intention of being interviewed.

"Damn, I think they must really like to see us finally get eliminated by those guys!"

After Stoudemire got on the bus, he complained loudly with a depressed face!

In this period of entering his third year of professional career, this hot big man really has a very surprising performance!

But now, hearing the inquiries of these reporters and the current situation that is very unfavorable to them, this can't help but make him even more anxious!

"Okay buddy, now is not the time for us to talk about this!"

Marion frowned and patted Stoudemire on the back, his tone full of complexity!
The bus slowly drove into the hotel arranged by the league. Even though there were still a lot of reporters there, almost no one from the Suns was willing to accept interviews!
As for the host Spurs, they are rigorously making final preparations before the start of the game in the training hall!

"Greg, we will definitely win this game!"

Mike Brown turned his head to Popovich, who was not so relaxed with a smile on his face. For him, even if the Suns were forced into a cliff, they would definitely counterattack desperately. The current Spurs lineup , and their strong performance on the defensive end, this really makes him very optimistic that they will eventually sweep the Suns like the Warriors!
However, Popovich obviously didn't see it that way. He first turned his head and glanced at Brown, then folded his hands on his chest, and said with a serious face: "If it were me, I would have a moment of being pushed into the cliff." So, I don’t think the Suns have given up the final struggle, they are still a team that cannot be underestimated!”

"Won't our defense and the performance of our players sweep these guys who only know offense?"

Brown obviously felt a little disapproving of Popovich's words. With the current performance of the Spurs on both ends of the offense and defense, even if the Suns will launch an impact again and again, they still have a great advantage. After all, at this stage, only crazy Offense is not a game.

"Okay, Mike, can you tell me what you think now?"

Popovich simply didn't go into theory anymore, he asked with a little playfulness.

"In our lineup, we not only have top players like Vince, but also have defensive talents like Bruce and Nazr (Mohamed) on the defensive end. If we add our experience on the bench Very seasoned players, I think the Suns will be sent back to Phoenix by us personally here!"

Popovich stared at Mike Brown, and couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment in his eyes!
During the years that Mike Brown followed Popovich, he really learned some essence of defense from Popovich.

However, as he became more and more obsessed with defense, he became a little stiff in the analysis of both teams and player abilities!
After all, players are living beings with thoughts. If a person is forced into a corner and is threatened with death at any time, his thinking will instantly enter a frenzied quest for survival!

Judging from the current situation of the Suns, their spirit and emotions have been brought to a point of destruction in the previous three consecutive games without a big point difference!

Furthermore, with the good results the Suns have achieved this year, no one does not have a strong desire for honor!
"Mike, although your analysis is very correct, have you ever thought about some psychological problems?"

Popovich turned his head and glanced at the step-by-step players, and then pulled Brown to sit on the chair on the sidelines!
May 5nd will be a day for the Suns to decide whether they will create a season this season or not and move on!
In the previous three games, the Suns lost the game by a small score only because of their defense, relying on their super offense!

Now, with the battle that will determine their lives approaching, all of them express a strong desire to win!

"Guys, I wish you all the best in this life-or-death moment!!"

Mike D'Antoni said to all the Suns players with a serious face that after coming here, he has proved his worth in this short season.

And now, even though he has accomplished his task brilliantly, the desire for honor is still driving him forward!
"In this game, I hope that while maintaining a strong offense, you must make some positive performances on the defensive end!"

When it comes to defense, D'Antoni's eyes can't help flashing a trace of embarrassment. He has obviously completely thrown aside the defense he learned from Wilkens!

"Tonight, we take this approach..."

As D'Antoni raced against time, he quickly instilled some tactical and defensive experience into the players. After the players listened extremely carefully, with the appearance of a Spurs staff member, they immediately brought a wave of longing Walked over to the arena!

After entering the arena, in this brand new arena, a famous fan has already sat in his seat early!

The Spurs fans don't know if they were influenced by Popovich's low-key. The fans here did not show a very hot atmosphere after they played, but just waved the inflatable sticks in their hands!

"Okay, soldiers, the Warriors have already entered the Western Conference finals first, if we can simply end this series in this game, then we will not leave them any rest time , so let's defeat these guys!"

Popovich said with an extremely serious expression. When he talked about the current situation of the Warriors, his eyes couldn't help but get a little angry!
As for the Spurs players who heard what he said, except for a few players who had played for the Warriors, the rest of the players showed excitement!

The game started quickly. In the first quarter, the Suns were like wild wolves attacking the Spurs' defense one after another.

As for the Spurs, if it weren't for their very effective defense and Bosh and Carter's response from time to time, I'm afraid they would really be completely torn apart by these guys who were forced to the edge of the cliff!

After the first quarter, the Spurs relied on their positions and the performance of their stars, and under the crazy impact of the Suns, they kept the difference between the two sides within five points!
After entering the second quarter, the Suns continued their undead offensive style, especially Nash's superb organization and assists, which put more pressure on the Spurs!

"Ok?"

Popovich frowned and stared at the court. With the crazy play style of the Suns, even though the Spurs defended very well, they were still subject to some restrictions!
Moreover, coupled with the fact that the Suns finally came up with a long-lost positive response on the defensive end, this made the Suns lead the Spurs by eight points directly after the second quarter!
After returning to the locker room, Popovich specifically emphasized the unsatisfactory defensive end, and under his arrangement, the Spurs players also focused on making a series of arrangements for the Suns' main attack points and promoters!
When the third quarter started, as the Spurs continued to exert pressure on the defensive end, the Suns' smooth offense finally had problems!
"drop!!"

A whistle finally sounded in the 8th minute of the third quarter. After D'Antoni frowned and explained to Nash and others, as these players who changed their style of play played again, the two teams finally entered into anxiety!
"It seems that their response is still very effective!"

Mike Brown stared at the court, he couldn't help analyzing secretly, and had a better understanding of what Popovich said before!

Later, when the two sides entered the fourth quarter, the Suns' offensive level gradually made the Spurs lose their effectiveness on the defensive end!
And when the whole game was over, amidst the regretful boos of some fans in the stands, the Suns finally managed to win a rain-like victory in this series!
Next, when the Spurs rushed to Phoenix by plane, they used their offense and defense to the extreme, and finally completely eliminated the Suns in the crazy attack here!

"Aha, it seems that our opponent has appeared!"

Bruce and West watched the results of the last game of the two teams on TV with smiles on their faces. They looked at each other with a smile and expectation in their eyes.
