NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 285 The record is approaching
In the game between the Spurs and the Suns, the style changed in the second half.

The Spurs also showed the intensity of the playoffs this time, and did not pretend in the regular season.

Because this season, they seem to be falling behind among the top three in the Western Conference, and they must work hard.

In the third quarter, the Spurs turned from defense to offense, and the Suns really didn't adapt for a while.

Parker and Duncan's two-player main attack is an old routine. The key is that Finley has returned to his youth and exploded a bit.

The Suns did not expect this wave and were overtaken by the Spurs.

The game became exciting like this. If the Suns lose at this time, it must be news.

In the strong contest in the West, if the Spurs can come from behind and win the Suns, it will also be news.

It’s not too big of a deal to watch the excitement. This season, the sun has been brilliant, and now it has hit the regular season win record. Naturally, it has attracted countless attention.
The Spurs are also playing very excitedly. They really haven't been very good this season. If they can improve their face before the playoffs, it will be very good for them.

The Spurs have always been calm, but after the sun appeared, the Spurs obviously lost their previous glory. The calmness is supported by the record. Now the record is not so good, and Coach Popovich can't hold it anymore.

It's just that the current Spurs can't fully grasp the rhythm of the attack.

After entering the rotation, the Sun's counterattack began.

When Duncan was off the court, the Spurs were fucked by the Suns again.

It can't be said that Ginobili's rotation is too bad, it can only be said that the Suns are too strong.

Coach Popovich is also sorry, but he really doesn't want Duncan to fight hard at this time.

Can't he win with a little dignity?Three minutes after the start of the last quarter, the Spurs could only replace Duncan after seeing the Suns catch up with the score.

How decent can they be, they have not vented their anger in the playoffs in the past two years.

After Duncan played, the Suns also began to adjust their defense, strictly defending Duncan, and arranged for flanking.

Just let Parker attack. Parker played very well in the third quarter, but he still didn't hit a three-pointer.

Outside players with obvious weaknesses, how can they be considered a good defense if they don't target them.

In addition, on the offensive end, Russell has started to exert his strength, and he is singles Parker.

It's useless for Parker to itch his teeth, he really can't prevent Russell's shot.

The Suns are now in the playoff mode, let Russell focus on the offense, and the others will do the defense.

It's just that the basketball in Russell's hands can make a second pass at any time, helping other Suns players score easily.

After all, when Russell singles Parker, other players can also move, isn't it easy to cut inside and directly dunk or something.

Spurs coach Popovich hesitated again at this time, and he also hoped that Parker could respond.

But at the critical moment, Parker was not so reliable, and his shooting percentage plummeted.

On Ginobili's side, today's hand feeling is actually average, and Ginobili is not reliable at this time.

The most reliable is Duncan, but it is not easy for Duncan to catch the ball now. He finally got the ball in the right position twice, and the Suns fouled.

Then Duncan stood on the free throw line but missed the free throw. Popovich was so angry that he wanted to go up and hit someone.

It really came together. He didn't know why when he met the sun, all the players' small weaknesses would be exposed. This time Duncan's free throws were worse than O'Neal's.

There must be player status issues, but the Suns' tight defense also played a big role.

Competing against the Suns, players consume more and have greater psychological pressure, so the shortcomings will be magnified.

For example, on Parker's side, if he meets a weak team or takes a three-point shot, he doesn't think it's a big deal. The Spurs will win anyway, but he doesn't dare to take a light shot when facing the Suns, because any mistake may cause the team to lose.

To make matters worse, their omnipotent defense didn't work against Russell.

Pulling directly in front of the defensive player, how to defend, this is not the Spurs' specialty, the key is that Russell does not necessarily shoot when pulling up, it is really impossible to defend.

The Spurs also switched defenses, but Russell had to screen as soon as he switched defenses. Other Spurs players were still not as fast as Parker.

In the last few minutes, the Spurs can only do their best. Popovich has a lot of reputation, but he doesn't really have any tricks up his sleeve.

The Spurs tried to start trying three-pointers, but neither Ginobili nor Bowen hit.

On the Sun's side, Russell made another strong hit from the three-point line, and the Spurs' hearts were cold.

In fact, the Suns didn't lead much, they have always been 3 or 4 points, but they can always hit.

Time is running out after a few back and forth, let alone a lead of a few points, even a point can be fatal.

At the critical moment, Parker finally made a foul for Russell, but he only made one of two free throws when he got to the free throw line.

The Spurs are so depressed, they feel that their mentality will be affected by the sun.

Of course, it is also to blame for the fact that the Spurs' two free throws are not so reliable.

Defensive basketball actually doesn't have that high requirement for shooting accuracy, and the Spurs just met the sun.

In the end, they had no choice but to use foul tactics at the last moment, and the Suns' free throws were much better than the Spurs'. In the end, the Spurs could only accept the loss silently.

"Russell's performance is still unbelievable." Stoudemire helped to blow after the game. "While constantly putting offensive pressure on the opponent, he also did a good job defensively. As long as there is a chance, Russell always He can hit opponents with points or assists, and he runs all night. In such critical moments, we especially need Russell's fighting spirit."

Defeating a strong enemy again, no one doubts that the Suns will break the winning record. Now it depends on which game they break and how far they will raise the record.

Breaking several historical records in one season is really enviable.

The Suns will play back-to-back away games against the Hornets next. The Hornets are not too weak, but there are too many injuries. Even Paul can't play this time.

Although Paul was also suppressed here, it was easier for Russell to bully others, and it was easy for the Suns to win 71 seasons.

The outside world is also lamenting that the Suns are also very lucky this season. They often encounter problems with their opponents back to back, and they deserve to break the record.

After the two, the Suns will play against the Lakers. If they can win, they will tie the Bulls' record.

With Kobe's character, he naturally didn't want to be this background board.

It's just that the strength of the Lakers is really hard to say. It shouldn't be a big problem for them to enter the playoffs now. It depends on where they are ranked and whether they can choose a relatively confident opponent.

Judging from the team rankings, the Lakers don't need to fight for the Suns, but for the pride of the players, they must go all out, and the fans have another big meal.
