Chapter 367

On February 2th, still in the American West Arena, the Phoenix Suns played against the San Antonio Spurs in the second game of the Western Conference Finals.

The starting lineups and tactics of the two sides remain unchanged. The Suns focus on running and bombing, while the Spurs play twin-tower tactics.

In the jump ball, Duncan showed his stability and did not give Stoudemire any chance. He transferred the basketball to Tony Parker and got the ball first.

With his long legs, Tony Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, made a sharp breakthrough, went inside the three-point line, took a step to the free throw line, drew his bow and set up an arrow, and opened his hand to make a small throw for horseback archery.

The arc of the basketball is very high, as if it has eyes, it hits the center of the backboard precisely, and then bounces into the frame, scoring two points first.

2 to 0! !
As soon as the game started, Tony Parker, who played with confidence in the previous game, used his special skills to easily beat Nash and succeeded, winning the first place.

Looking back, Nash also showed the demeanor of the MVP winner in the regular season. He noticed that the Spurs' defense was shrinking, and the inside offensive tactics of the Suns, holding the ball to the top of the three-point line, without a word, suddenly pulled the ball up, A three-pointer with a pull-back jumper.

Nash flicked his right hand quickly in the air, and the basketball drew a full moon arc in the air.

Swish!
The white net flowers overflowed, Nash raised the knife and landed, and hit the basket with three goals, hollowed into the net, and there was a burst of white waves.

2 to 3! !
Nash's shot also did not fail, he directly cast a cold arrow, displayed his housekeeping skills, and returned the color.

The Spurs attacked, and Tony Parker played unpretentiously. He didn't want to prove his own strength, but he played a personal battle with Nash without too much entanglement, especially under the guidance of Bo Povic, he played very well as a team.

He knew the advantages of the Spurs. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, directly hoisted the basketball to the inside, and took advantage of the Spurs' inside strength to score.

Rigorous execution is really quite terrifying.

In the low position on the left, Duncan caught the ball and hit Marion with his back. He crushed Marion and hit deep into the basket. Scored the ball with one point, and scored two points steadily.

4 to 3! !
The Suns attacked, Nash wanted to speed up, but was still suppressed by the Spurs in the lineup battle.

Playing diamond tactics, Nash and Stoudemire played pick-and-roll cooperation.

Nash was switched and flanked, pulled the ball and jumped up, and distributed the basketball to Stoudemire.

After receiving the ball, facing Tony Parker's defense, he directly pulled the ball up and made a two-point mid-range jumper.

Bang! !

Although Tony Parker's defense is just a show, it can't interfere with Stoudemire's shot at all, but Stoudemire didn't feel good at the beginning of the game.

The basketball bounced off the basket, Duncan overpowered Marion, easily picked off the rebound from the basket, and the Suns counterattacked on the spot. Although they didn't shoot the basketball, they didn't give the Spurs a defensive counterattack to score.

Tony Parker received the ball and dribbled it to the frontcourt, and the ball was 65 degrees outside the three-point line on the right.

Ginobili catches the ball in an offensive triple-threat pose.

Joe Johnson also pressed the center of gravity of his body, with his right hand blocking Ginobili's eyes, and his footsteps locked Ginobili's tentative stride.

Ginobili lifted the ball over the top, feigned a shot in the air, immediately pulled the ball down, changed direction and accelerated to enter the three-point line.

Afterwards, he showed his housekeeping skills, laying up in three steps in a snake-like step, passing one person in one step, jumping up from the basket, stretching and stretching in the air, and after dodging Stoudemire's block, he hooked with his right hand. , The basketball spun and flew to the basket, as if it had eyes, wiped the backboard, precisely got into the basket, and forced a two-pointer to break through and score a layup.

6 to 3! !
As soon as the game started, the Spurs' "GDP combination" began to show off, taking turns to attack and shoot, and steadily scored points, slowly building a lead.

Next, the Suns attacked, and the Suns, who were caught in a positional battle, couldn't increase their speed and body, and faced the Spurs' encirclement and suppression of the Suns' inside offense.

Nash believed in the Suns' offensive firepower from outside. However, the ammunition delivered by Josh's pass could not be converted into points.

Richardson was directly entangled by Bowen's top defensive skills. There were not many good offensive opportunities, and he barely made a three-pointer, and his offensive efficiency could not be guaranteed.

Although Ginobili's defense and confrontation are not good, his flexible feet and smart defensive methods interfere with Joe Johnson's defense.

Joe Johnson couldn't break through Ginobili's defense all at once.

Nash could only make more shots on his own. He broke through to the inside with a two-point jumper with an emergency stop, a horse-riding archery-style small throw, and a cold three-pointer. Almost one person took over the offensive firepower of the Suns.

However, facing the Big Three of the Spurs, Nash realized that he could only attack alone, so he chose to pass the ball to organize the attack.

It's a pity that Stoudemire and Marion didn't feel online. They both shot 4 of 1. The Suns' offensive firepower was directly misfired, and they only scored 21 points in the first quarter.

While the Spurs did a good job in defensive tasks, they did not let go of their offensive scoring tasks. Under the collective leadership of the "GDP combination", the Spurs scored 31 points strongly.

After the first quarter, the San Antonio Spurs, relying on the performance of their stars, took a timeout lead over the Phoenix Suns by 10 points.

The second quarter started, and D'Antoni's rotation was not large. He had already lost the first home game, and the Suns had no room for another loss.

As a result, the Suns, while retaining most of the main force, played against the Spurs, who were in rotation as usual. The Suns were in good shape and played a multi-point offensive. The offensive offensive of all the people beat the Spurs to a 33-22 attack wave. , Before the end of the first half, the score was overtaken, leading the Spurs by 1 point, and entered the locker room to rest.

In the second quarter, Duncan's state declined, 4 for 0 shots, 3 for 1 for Tony Parker, and 4 for 1 for Mohamed.

The game started in the third quarter, and the two sides played inextricably, falling into an anxious stage.

Duncan, Tony Parker, and Ginobili still performed very well. The three scored 26 points together, playing the value of core players.

However, the offensive fire support of other players was far from enough. Only Muhammad made 2 of 1 free throws and contributed 1 point. The others did not score a point and only scored 27 points.

The Suns played a situation where all the people were soldiers, especially Stoudemire, who was in a superb state. He made 7 of 5 shots and scored 11 points and 3 rebounds alone, showing the strength of a superstar.

When the Suns wanted a team with a team and stars with stars, they scored 31 points in a single quarter.

After the first three quarters, the Suns led the Spurs by 85 points 80 to 5 and entered the final battle of the fourth quarter.

However, the Suns didn't have the slightest joy on their faces, but became serious instead.

Because, this game is very similar to the script of the previous game.

The Spurs led by double digits in the first quarter, and then in the second and third quarters, the Suns fought back, evened the score and implemented a go-ahead.

Is the fourth quarter still going on like the last game?Although the Suns lead the score, they have no idea!

After all, the Spurs' offensive firepower has not yet been released.

The game started in the fourth quarter, and the scene was a bit anxious. In the last 4 minutes of the game, the gap between the two sides was still between one goal and the bite was tight.

The Spurs did not open up their stance to fight the Suns offensively as they did in the previous game. Instead, they played basketball with a balanced offense and defense.

In the last 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, Duncan beat Marion in a low post. Marion, who was difficult to parry, had to foul and Duncan made a free throw.

Swish! !
Duncan made free throws very steadily and made two free throws easily.

100 to 97! !
The Spurs began to lead the score!

Next, the Suns began to pursue, but no matter how desperately the Suns approached, even if the gap was reduced to the minimum gap of 1 point, they still could not achieve a lead over the Spurs.

Horry's key three-pointer, Ginobili's unsolvable breakthrough, and Duncan's powerful low-post singles.

Let the Suns catch up, obviously only 1 goal away, still can't see the hope of winning.

Then, in the last 3 seconds, Nash's final buzzer-beating three-point shot missed, and the Suns once again swallowed the defeat bitterly.

As a result of the full game time, the San Antonio Spurs turned away, with a 111-108 advantage of 3 points, and beat the Phoenix Suns, making another victory and taking a 2-0 lead in the entire series.
