NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 370

In the second matchup, the Suns felt good when they came up. The Spurs had no choice but to replace them immediately, and they couldn't help speeding up with the Suns.

With both Stoudemire and Ray Allen feeling good, the Suns did not insist on flanking Duncan, but accelerated and started a full-scale attack.

There were many times when Stoudemire felt good, and the Spurs also had some defenses, but Ray Allen's three-pointers soared, and the Spurs couldn't bear it.

Three points is not just one point more than two points, but also doubles the psychological pressure.

Russell's second pass plus a three-point shot hit, and the Suns quickly led to double digits after withdrawing the flanking attack.

The Spurs didn't panic too much, but they couldn't stand it because they didn't score enough.

After Ginobili came up, the situation was better. It is estimated that the desperate skills were activated. He hit two magic balls and hit a three-pointer. Finally, the gap between the two teams was narrowed to single digits.

But if you want to go further up, you can't do it. Ginobili's fluctuating touch, even if you don't become a blacksmith, your hit rate will drop.

On the Sun's side, Ellis played a small lineup for a while.

After finding out that Ellis didn't feel good today, they went to the twin towers to defend their advantage and fight.

After going up to the Twin Towers, the Suns pinched Duncan again, and the two sides fought to defend.

Although they are fighting for defense, Russell, Ray Allen, Durant and Stoudemire are still fighting high on the Sun's side. Gasol just slowed down and did not reduce his attack.

Last season, the main lineup was almost the same with Gasol or Millsap, but the style of play was a little different. Anyway, the Spurs would feel uncomfortable.

After all, Duncan is not an attacking superstar. After being flanked by the Suns, he can only attract defense.

However, both Parker and Ginobili played well this time, and the Spurs did not let the sun go away.

The Spurs GDP Duncan is the only one, but the other two are not too bad, otherwise they wouldn't be called a combination.

To be honest, both Parker and Ginobili are difficult to guard when they are in the state.

Relying on his speed, Parker scored two points in one step, and it was too late to assist the defense.

It's just that scoring in this way is a relatively difficult mode, and it is difficult for him to maintain his touch all the time.

And Ginobili mainly plays with the ball, shoots on the go, makes European breakthroughs, and has a very good sense of rhythm.

Because of the high difficulty often, his hit rate is also difficult to maintain all the time.

Duncan is stable, Parker is good and bad, and Ginobili is supernatural. This is the test of the Suns' defense. It is difficult for stars of this level to be completely restricted. Their offense cannot affect the Suns to gain an advantage. big picture.

The physical strength of the Spurs is not top-notch, but in order to fight against the sun, Parker and Duncan also try to play as much as possible, only Ginobili has nothing to do.

Besides, it is not necessarily a good thing for Ginobili to play more. He is also like an undercover agent when he is ineffective.

Ellis and Hill are not good in this game, and the Suns have used Ariza, Korver and Gasol more, and even Barea and Tony Allen.

In fact, Hill did not fully recover after taking a few rest games in the latter part of the regular season. The level of the playoffs was a bit unbearable for his body. From the first round of the playoffs, he played less and less.

It's just that Ellis has been taking care of everything before, and other people have more opportunities when he is not in good condition.

The Suns are somewhat similar to the Spurs in terms of bold employment. Other teams must not dare to use so many players in the playoffs.

The only difference is that the Suns players are still stronger than the Spurs.

Being young and strong is not the same thing. There are a few veterans on the Spurs who really only have experience left.

And the Suns can always remain aggressive, both on the offensive and defensive end.

"I think the Suns are not only good for the team, but they are also excellent in the cultivation of new players. The young players of the Suns this season are not entirely selected by them, but everyone's mental outlook is different when they come to the Suns."

"Yes, this is the temperament of a championship-level team. Young players can learn a lot."

"Haha, in fact, Russell is the best at leading new players. The sun only rose from his past. The team culture is not so convincing."

Many studio commentators talked with basketball legends and analyzed the situation of the two teams.

It is basically a consensus that the Suns are stronger than the Spurs, and now it depends on whether the Spurs can cause trouble for the Suns.

At the end of the first half, Parker's score kept the Spurs from falling behind by double digits at halftime.

But they got off to a bad start and are very passive so far.

Back in the locker room, their coach Popovich lost his temper because the Spurs' defense in the first quarter did not meet his requirements.

When the head coach loses his temper, the Spurs are quite used to it, and they will take it as a warning.

Because of Popovich's prestige, many people think that the Spurs are his team.

The same can be said, but the premise is that the team boss cooperates. If Duncan doesn't care about it, whether it is Popovich or Popovich, they can only succumb.

In this league, superstars are much more important than head coaches.

In the Sun's locker room, the whole team is much more relaxed and the atmosphere is very comfortable.

To deal with the Spurs, they already have the knack, just don't let GDP play at the same time.

Take care of Duncan, and the Spurs' teamwork will have problems.

It's not that other teams don't know, but they don't have this ability. They can't lock up the Spurs' role players while watching Duncan, and their offensive strength can't support similar tactics.

The Spurs players are a bit of a bitch, and they burst out of energy after being scolded.

In the third quarter, the Spurs' defense was so tight that it has rarely appeared in the past few years.

The point is that they also defended Stoudemire and pinched Russell to a certain extent.

The Spurs also showed the momentum of a desperate fight. This is the second game of the series. Maybe they also want to see the effect, otherwise they will definitely not be able to beat the Suns in the away game.

In fact, it is still useful. Everyone in the Suns has been affected, and with Russell being strictly guarded, Ray Allen did not show a strong enough deterrent.

Russell sighed a little. Ray Allen is actually not at his peak, so he can only play as a support.

If the offense is affected, they will fight for defense, and the Suns are not vegetarians.

In this case, they also got Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili who came up from behind.

With one flanking and two assisting defenses, the Suns' defense has also improved a lot compared to the beginning of the season, and they can barely kill three strong points.

Moreover, the Spurs deliberately slowed down the pace, which made it more difficult to score.

But at this time, Finley suddenly lost his temper. The Spurs have so many veterans, and sometimes the lineup seems lifeless, but sometimes the family has an old man like a treasure.

When it was difficult for both sides to score, Finley hit a few key two-pointers, and the Spurs caught up with the score.
