Chapter 295 Seeing the Leaderboard Battle Again
After a wave of four-game losing streak, the record of the Phoenix Suns came to 31 wins and 9 losses, giving way to the top position in the regular season of the league.

The Seattle SuperSonics fell to 30 wins and 10 losses due to their last road loss to the Nuggets.

Therefore, the Phoenix Suns ranked second in the league, one and a half games behind the San Antonio Spurs.

The San Antonio Spurs have won two consecutive victories and are currently 2 wins and 31 losses. Relying on the advantages of each other and the advantage of one more game, they have snatched the top position maintained by the Phoenix Suns for nearly three months.

The next game will be a direct confrontation between the two teams, who will be qualified to secure the first place in the regular season of the league.

Before the game, the media reporters were very optimistic about the San Antonio Spurs defeating the Phoenix Suns, and justifiably secured the No.1 position in the regular season.

You must know that although the Phoenix Suns have the advantage of being at home, the state of the Suns has been too bad recently, and their morale has plummeted. They will probably be taught a good job against the San Antonio Spurs.

The only thing that is good for the Suns is that the Spurs have been in a state of confusion recently, winning all home games, but losing three consecutive away games.

Home dragon and away bug?Or work hard at home and stay away?This Spurs team that likes to rotate makes people guess.

However, based on the law that the Suns are weak and lose when they are strong, this game involves a battle for the top spot, and the Spurs should not stay strong.

It is really difficult for the Suns to win! !

On January 2005, 1, at the American West Arena, the Phoenix Suns were about to start their match against the San Antonio Spurs.

On the commentary stage, Barkley looked at the Spurs' starting lineup, and said with some concern: "Who would have thought that the Suns were out of prototype in the last week!
What is the league's number one offensive firepower?What regular season MVP No. [-] candidate?Sitting at the top of the regular season rankings from the first game?Everything has become history. The dark horses of the Suns have good legs. With their current state, even if they are guaranteed a place in the playoffs, they are not guaranteed. You must know that the Suns are in the western theater where the competition is fierce. , No one is sure that they can definitely make it to the playoffs.

In this game, the Suns are in danger. If they lose again, they will lose 5 games in a row, completely giving up the top position.

And just looking at the starting lineup of the Spurs, there is no sign of staying at all. It is still point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Manu Ginobili, small forward Chris Bowen, and power forward Tim. Duncan, center Rasu Nesterovic.

This starting lineup, but the Spurs' desperate lineup, should not have the slightest plan to retain their strength.If the Suns want to win, they can only find problems from themselves, don't think that the opponent will let the water go! ! "

Kenny Smith nodded, and added: "The Spurs' starting lineup is almost ready. Putting Ginobili, who has played a superstar demeanor in the Olympic Games, as the starting lineup will make the Spurs' starting lineup even better. How terrifying, both offensive and defensive, very difficult to deal with!

The Suns currently have zero chance of changing their lineup and can only rely on the performance of the stars in the team. The tactical play has been seen through and it is easy to be targeted. This requires the growth of Nash and Stoudemire, as well as Richard The steady performance of Desen and Joe Johnson.

That's right, the Suns' starting five are already the strongest, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Sean Marion, center Amare Stoudemire. "

beep! !

A crisp whistle sounded.

The referee threw the basketball high into the sky, and the game began with a scrum.

In the jump ball, Duncan's stable and reliable attributes were undoubtedly revealed. He did not give Stoudemire a half-point chance to win, and he searched for the basketball and transferred it to Tony Parker.

With quick strides, Tony Parker quickly dribbled upfield and didn't find a chance to sneak a shot and beat the Suns to a shaky footing.

Since he couldn't beat the Suns by surprise, Tony Parker was not in a hurry. After his teammates settled down, he directly hoisted the basketball into the inside lane.

In the low position on the left, Duncan catches the ball behind the frame, squeezes away Marion who wants to defend closely, and immediately dribbles to the basket to break through.

Marion followed the opponent closely, but Duncan was too powerful, so he stuck in position and hit inside.

This unreasonable and brutal style of play makes Marion, who has top defensive ability, very passive, but there is nothing he can do!
foul?

If Duncan uses this trick next time, will he still commit a foul?

If he commits a foul, he must be prepared to graduate with 6 fouls.

If Marion didn't foul, Duncan would be the same as he is now, dribbling the ball to the basket, pulling the ball directly, carrying Marion's defense, and throwing the basketball. The basketball wiped the backboard, as if he had eyes , got into the basket and scored two points.

2 to 0! !
Relying on the height and strength of the inside line, the Spurs took the lead.

The Suns are running and bombing, and they use Marion, who is 201cm tall, as a power forward. They are prepared to give up their height and change their speed. It is helpless for the Spurs to play with the defensive weakness of the inside.

Marion made a quick shot from the bottom line, and Nash didn't hesitate for a moment after receiving the ball, and immediately accelerated to move forward.

Richardson and Joe Johnson, one left and one right, pierced the Spurs' sides like two sharp knives out of their scabbards.

Stoudemire charged from the center, heading straight for the heart of the Suns.

With one step forward, Nash pushed a long pass directly while running, and the basketball was like a missile, and it accurately found Joe Johnson's hands.

Outside the three-point line on the right, receiving the ball from the frame, facing Ginobili's defense, Joe Johnson jumped up directly, and passed the ball to the center with both hands over the top.

Stoudemire rushed over, caught the ball and dribbled it a step, his eyes were flat, and he jumped up from the basket, his body bloomed in the air, stretching very much.

In the air, Stoudemire slammed the basketball in his hands into the basket.

A loud bang!
Tomahawk split button!Scored two points.

2 to 2! !
The Suns immediately used their running and bombing tactics, scored two points, and returned the favor.

The Suns' 7-second running and bombing made it impossible for the Spurs to deploy their defense at all.

The Suns abandoned their height, but possessed speed. In the running of the game, no one is his opponent.

The Spurs resorted to the two-tower tactic and gave up their speed. Naturally, they hoped to use their height and strength to bully others in positional warfare.

The two teams, one fast and one slow, have two different styles, and two extreme openings, allowing people to appreciate the beauty of the NBA's tactical flowers.

The offensive and defensive transition, the Spurs attacked, Tony Parker dribbled to the frontcourt, and in the interior, Marion directly chose to go around the front to defend, and did not want to give Duncan a chance to catch the ball and attack.

There was a clear snap, and Tony Parker casually passed a pass to the ground. The basketball hit the floor and bounced, flying outside the three-point line on the right.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right, Ginobili caught the ball and faced the frame, posing an offensive three-threat posture.

Joe Johnson lowered his center of gravity, put on a standard defensive posture, and put half a step away.

If you don't give a breakthrough, you can't even think about shooting!
