Chapter 338

On the evening of March 3th, at the American West Arena, the Phoenix Suns played against the Portland Trail Blazers at home. Only at the end of the first half, the Suns used a violent offensive to score 5 to 69.

The Suns led the Blazers by 22 points at halftime, almost turning the game into garbage time.

Currently, the Portland Trail Blazers are ranked No. 22 in the regular season in the Western Conference with a record of 34 wins and 12 losses. Although theoretically there is still a possibility of hitting the playoffs, the Trail Blazers have won one of the last ten games. 2 games, lost 8 games.

Whether it is state or spirit, there is no possibility of winning.

The leaking boat encountered continuous night rain. At this moment when the two ends were not on the shore, the Blazers' leading star was injured and absent, and morale almost fell to the bottom.

The three core players, Damon Stoudemire, Sherif Raheem, and Darius Myers, simply couldn't support the Blazers' offensive and defensive banner.

Damon Stoudemire is 178cm tall and has natural defensive loopholes.

Raheem's style of play is soft, he can only shoot from the outside, and his defense is poor.

Miles has the title of "kG II". In fact, his basketball skills are poor and he can only play with his body.

The three want to attack, not top-level players, and defend, so there may be no bottom line.

How did such a rebuilt Trail Blazers meet the opponents of the fiery Suns.

The game started in the second half, and even if the Suns made a substantial rotation, the Blazers still couldn't do anything about the Suns' entry.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns scored in double figures at home with 6 players and played a multi-point offensive. They beat the Portland Trail Blazers 129 to 116 and won a wave of 5 consecutive victories.

On the evening of March 3, at the Key Arena, the Phoenix Suns played back-to-back away games against the Seattle SuperSonics.

Currently, the Seattle Supersonics rank No. 41 in the regular season in the Western Conference with a record of 16 wins and 3 losses, only 3 wins away from the Suns.

Recently, the Sonics are in good shape and have just won a wave of three consecutive victories.

This game is a tough battle for the Suns.

Sure enough, when the first quarter started, the Supersonics shrank their defense, encircled and suppressed the Suns' inside offense, and competed with the Suns for shots.

In the shooting, Lewis and Ray Allen shot two muskets, and the shooting felt good. They jointly scored 18 points and led the Supersonics to grab 28 points in a single quarter against the Suns.

It's just that the Suns are in a better state, playing a lot of offensive firepower. Although the offensive firepower on the outside is not good, but with the offensive impact of Nash, Stoudemire and Marion inside, they have a good offensive efficiency. , scored 32 points in a single quarter, leading the Supersonics by 4 points.

The second quarter started, and the Suns' offense continued well, especially Joe Johnson's superb offensive state.

Regardless of personal singles offense with the ball, or three-point shots after catching the ball, he made a superb hit, without any false shots, 5 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 12 points and 3 rebounds, leading the Suns to score Under 28 points.

The Supersonic's Ray Allen didn't play much time, and the offense was directly misfired, without scoring a point.

Lewis was in good shape, making 7 of 4 shots and scoring 9 points.

However, the Sonics, whose double star shined into a single star, scored only 22 points.

At the end of the first half, the Phoenix Suns turned away and led the Seattle SuperSonics by 60 points with a score of 50 to 10, entering the second half.

In the third quarter of the game, the Sonics were not reconciled to losing at home. They still surrounded the Suns' inside offense on defense, and competed with the Suns on offense to shoot.

Ray Allen regained his touch, making 4 of 3 shots and scoring frequently.

Lewis maintained a good state, 6 of 4 and scored 8 points.

With the power of role player Jerome James, the Sonics suppressed the Suns offensively.

Although only 27 points were scored in a single quarter, the Suns' inside offense was locked up defensively.

Nash and Marion's offensive firepower misfired.

Stoudemire made 7 of 2 shots and his offensive efficiency dropped sharply.

With Joe Johnson's stable offensive firepower and Richardson's recovery, the Suns' scoring was not so ugly, scoring 22 points in a single quarter.

82 to 77! !
The Sonics closed the score by 5 points.

The game started in the fourth quarter. Due to physical problems, the shooting touch of both sides was not online.

太阳队中马里昂4投0中，乔约翰逊4中1，纳什和理查德森都是3中1。

And Stoudemire had almost no chance to make a phone call, and was directly guarded by Jerome James of the Supersonics with a pair of defenses.

The fight between the two sides was brutal.

The Suns made 18 of 6 two-pointers, and their shooting percentage was only 33%.

Fortunately, they didn't shoot many three-pointers, but they made 3 of 2, a good shooting percentage, and the Suns didn't shoot well, and they didn't foolishly shoot outside.

The soft-playing Suns actually got 18 free throw opportunities and hit 14 of them.

Even if the 2-point shooting percentage is not high, the Suns still scored 28 points in a single quarter.

The Suns' offense was terrible, and the Sonics weren't much better.

They made 20 of 6 two-pointers, only 30%, and the three-pointers were even worse, 8 of 0 and one missed.

雷阿伦6中2，刘易斯6中1，拉德马诺维奇3中0，两支球队几乎是用防守来决定最后的胜负。

The foul line is not as good as the Suns, only got 12 free throws, and hit 10 of them.

In a tough matchup, the Suns tenaciously defeated the Sonics and had the last laugh of the game.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns turned away and defeated the Seattle SuperSonics 110 to 99, achieving a wave of 5 consecutive victories.

At 3:9 p.m. on March 9th, at the American West Arena, the Phoenix Suns ushered in the top game against the San Antonio Spurs.

The record of the two sides is also 47 wins and 13 losses. However, in the mutual battle, the Suns lost to the Spurs, half a game behind, and can only rank No.2 in the league.

This game is full of highlights, and it is a key battle for the Suns to regain the initiative.

D'Antoni waved his hand while boosting morale, and the Suns' starting five went all out to fight, point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Sean Ma Lyon, center Amare Stoudemire.

However, when seeing the formation of the Spurs, the generals of the Suns were a little dumbfounded.

The Spurs' starting lineup is still point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Ma is replaced by Brent Barry, small forward Chris Bowen, power forward Robert Horry, center Rasu Nestor Lovich.

Without "Stone Buddha" Duncan, and without "Demon Blade" Ginobili, Bo Povich actually implemented rotation tactics in this crucial battle.

Favorite two MVP-level players?
Does Bo Povich really not take the honor of the regular season championship seriously?

Only Lin Bai's face was very calm, because of Po Povich's rotation tactics, the Spurs in a small city established their own dynasty.

As for the top spot in the regular season, Bo Povich really doesn't care.

A team goes all out, and a team paddles and stays strong, and the excitement of the match on the field will definitely be greatly reduced.

The first quarter of the game started, and the Suns, who had no way out, played a violent offensive. With Stoudemire killing all directions, they played a situation where all the people were soldiers.

After the first quarter, the Suns established a lead with a score of 36 to 24.

In the second quarter, the two sides played in no hurry, and the Suns held the winning ticket and didn't want to consume too much.

The Spurs recovered 20 points with a score of 18 to 2.

The game started in the third quarter, and the situation on the court changed suddenly. The Spurs let the Suns appreciate what a legion is like. Without a core superstar, it’s no big deal. Tony Parker began to charge.

The Spurs have no good offensive players, and Bowen's three-pointers from the bottom corner started without fail.

Nesterovic and Devin Brown, players who can't attack, started to score consecutive points in the offense.

The Spurs played tenacious team basketball in the third quarter, letting the Suns know that without playing with all their strength, the Suns want to win against the Spurs, and it is not so easy to win the top spot.

The Spurs gave the Suns an extra point, and with a score of 36 to 29, the scores of the two sides were narrowed to only 4 points.

The Spurs will give up the top spot?It actually made the Suns almost capsize in the gutter.

Taking back the contempt, the Suns, who must win the Spurs, played hard in the fourth quarter.

Among them, Stoudemire shined in the audience, and continued his superb state in the fourth quarter, making 4 of 4 shots, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 13 points in a single quarter.

In the whole game, he made 22 of 17 shots, 13 of 10 free throws, blasted 44 points and 7 rebounds, forced himself to be a superstar, and stood up to withstand the counterattack of the Spurs.

Relying on Stoudemire's power, the Suns did not let the victory list fall, and had the last laugh.

Although Tony Parker made 31 of 14 shots, 3 of 0 three-pointers, 4 of 2 free throws, blasted 30 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds, and played like a superstar, the Suns were in a cold sweat.

However, in the final analysis, the Spurs hid the two kings. As long as the Suns deal with it seriously, how can the Spurs succeed in their reversal?
At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns led the Suns to a 107-101, 6-point lead under Stoudemire's superpower. They defeated the San Antonio Spurs and won 6 consecutive victories. Return to the top of the regular season standings.
