Chapter 394 Restraining the Suns' Defense
After a 15-minute break, the game came back in the second half, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

D'Antoni replaced Barbosa with Lin Bai, and the other four were all starters, playing with all their strength.

The Spurs also did not have any reservations, and beat out the starting five tigers and counterattacked with all their strength.

The game started in the third quarter, and the Spurs had the first possession of the ball.

Tony Parker dribbled to the frontcourt. In order to be defended by Marion, Duncan raised the high position and played a pick-and-roll cooperation with Parker who rushed in.

Tony Parker knew that facing Marion who had switched defenses, his advantage in dislocation singles was not very obvious, so he did not forcefully hit him, but distributed the basketball to Duncan.

Facing Nash's defense, Duncan caught the ball and faced the frame. This was a dislocation of big and small. Duncan didn't make any extra moves.

Nash jumped up and interfered, just to prove that he was really defending, but there was no interference.

The basketball flew over Nash's head, fell into the basket precisely, and scored two points.

60 to 51! !
The Suns attacked, and Nash played a fast break after receiving the ball. After turning around and passing Parker's pressure, he took three steps and made two steps to the frontcourt, forming a favorable situation of 4 vs 2.

The height of the Spurs is very dominant, and the Suns use their strengths to avoid weaknesses, speed up and use their speed to restrain the Spurs.

Nash took a sudden step in the middle, and immediately followed up with a ground pass, sending the basketball outside the left three-point line. Lin Bai easily caught the ball and faced it.

Bowen knew that Lin Bai's three-pointer was hot tonight, so he didn't dare to let Lin Bai take the three-pointer, so he rushed forward to defend.

Lin Bai was in good condition, without any hesitation, he bent his knees and jumped up, his body blooming in the air.

A series of hand-feeling numbers appeared in front of my eyes.

33…38…26…43…41……

Seeing that the shooting rate was less than 50%, Lin Bai didn't force a shot, and passed the basketball to the middle with both hands in the air. Marion hurried over and easily caught Lin Bai's unexpected pass. He didn't think too much.

The basketball jumped up, stretched his body, turned 90 degrees in the air, and dunked the basketball into the basket with his back, scoring a two-pointer.

62 to 51! !
In the transition between offense and defense, Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, passed the ball and shot a feint, and immediately got short, changed direction and accelerated to break through to the inside. His speed was very fast, even though Nash wanted to move laterally to block with his body.

With a cross step, Parker easily got rid of Nash's defense. Without any slowdown, he went to the basket and pulled the ball for a layup in three steps. He was extremely fast, almost one step at a time, and easily passed the entire defense of the Suns. Jumping up from the basket, stretching and stretching, after dodging Marion's block, he threw the basketball in a posture that lost his balance.

His shot was quick, and Thomas also missed the block. The basketball wiped the backboard, as if it had eyes, got into the basket, and forced a two-pointer to break through and score a layup.

62 to 53! !
The Suns attacked, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Lin Bai on the left, and faced Bowen's marking. Lin Bai did not force a shot and handed the basketball to Marion, who kept running without the ball.

His speed is very fast, and Duncan can't suppress Marion who withdraws to the outside line.

Marion used an awkward shooting posture and made a long-distance two-point jumper.

Bang! !

Duncan just stretched out his hand in front of Marion, but Marion didn't feel good. He missed a two-pointer and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Nesterovis easily took the backcourt rebound, distributed the ball to Tony Parker who came to meet him, and dribbled to the frontcourt.

Parker slammed Nash in the middle, then made a pass from behind, and passed the basketball to the right. Ginobili cut inside and received Parker's pass. Without any hesitation, he directly sacrificed a serpentine step to attack the Suns After finishing the entire defense of the Suns, he hooked his right hand under the basket and shot the basketball into the basket freehand.

62 to 53! !
Subsequently, the Spurs strengthened their physical confrontation and defensive strength. The Suns attacked, and Nash dribbled to the frontcourt. His breakthrough and pick-and-roll were still attacked by the Spurs.

Facing Parker and Ginobili's defense, Nash threw the basketball into Lagabel's hands, but Lagabel's three-pointer missed and still shot out of the frame.

The Spurs firmly protected the rebound and began to play a quick counterattack.

Whether it is Ginobili or Tony Parker, they are all good players for quick counterattacks.

The Spurs' offense was booming, and the Suns' defense was losing ground.

The offensive strength of the Spurs is too terrifying.

Duncan has a big killer inside. He catches Parker's ball, whether it is singles behind the back or catches and jumpers, he can score very efficiently.

Without double-teaming, Duncan's individual singles can make the Suns have no power to parry.

Defensive top Marion, his skills and experience are not available at all, watching Duncan easily blow himself up.

The Suns were directly pierced inside. If the Suns used flanking tactics, Duncan would choose to pass the ball out of the bottom corner of the three-point line.

When Chris Bowen catches the ball, he will shoot a three-pointer without the slightest hesitation. Even if he misses the shot, it doesn't matter. They can also grab rebounds and make the most of their inside advantages.

Otherwise, let Ginobili and Parker break through and stare at the Suns' inside defense line, which is a violent fat beating.

In addition to having Duncan as a killer on the inside, Parker on the outside is also like a sharp sword. With his powerful breakthrough and speed, he beat the Suns to the side.

Manu Ginobili's monster knife will not let Parker and Duncan grab all the limelight.

His breakthrough was also unstoppable, and he shot from the outside, and his shooting percentage was also very impressive, but inside and outside, the Suns' defense was turned upside down, like paper, torn clean.

The offensive power of the Big Three of the Spurs is very strong in scoring, and the defense of the Suns can't stand it at all.

The three teamed up to score 21 points, and the Suns were all over the place.

Defensively, controlling the offensive rhythm on the field did not allow the Suns to easily play run-and-gun tactics. The Suns, who couldn't get up physically, could only play diamond tactics.

However, the Suns' diamond tactics were targeted by the Spurs.

The Spurs blocked Nash's offense and let the other four players attack.

It's just that the offense of the other Suns players is a bit disappointing.

Lin Bai's shooting touch is not good. He is more likely to jump up and pass the ball after receiving the ball. The inside of the Suns has no advantage at all. His passing cannot achieve offensive efficiency.

Marion's mid-range shots from the outside are also not good, and his cuts to the basket are blocked, and his forced shots can't get many points.

Lagabel's three-pointers and mid-range shots are also not cheap.

Only by relying on the power of Nash and Thomas, the Suns' offensive firepower was not allowed to play ugly, and they scored 20 points in the third quarter.

The Spurs, on the other hand, bared the fangs of the championship team, with full offensive firepower and impeccable defense, scoring 36 points.

After the first three quarters of the game, the Spurs relied on their perfect performance in the third quarter to instantly lead the Suns by 5 points in the score.

The fourth quarter started, and the Suns did not give up. They played very strong, speeding up as much as possible, blasting shots, trying to control the offensive rhythm in their own hands.

However, the Spurs' playing experience is very sophisticated, and they have no plans to compete with the Suns on offense. Instead, they play steadily and use their strong defensive ability to hold the victory of the game.

Lin Bai's state improved, and he hit two three-pointers in a row, closing the score between the two sides to only one point.

The Spurs directly asked Bowen to take care of Lin Bai personally, preventing Lin Bai from having a chance to connect the ball.

Subsequently, Nash's offense was inaccurate, and his housekeeping skills were used one by one, but there was no efficiency.

Although the Spurs' offense is not good, but with their championship-level defensive strength, they can still calmly maintain the score advantage and have the last laugh in the game.

21 to 20! !
In the fourth quarter, the Suns tried their best to counterattack, but they could only recover one point. Facing the top defensive team, the Suns' offense seemed to be restrained.

Even with Nash, who has turned decay into magic, such a running and bombing master still cannot easily crack the Spurs' iron-walled defense.

At the end of the game, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Phoenix Suns by 104 points, 100 to 4.
