NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

After the timeout, Popovich chose to adjust. The first point is not to allow Parker to defend Lingyang, but to let Ginobili defend Lingyang.

In this way, the effect is indeed much better. After all, Ginobili's height and confrontation are there, and he is not completely suppressed by Ling Yang like Parker.

Ling Yang's attack seemed to be temporarily choked, but Sun's attack was not completely choked, after all, Sun's engine was Nash.

而对于凌阳来说，首节比赛能够在场上贡献6分4个篮板2次抢断1次封盖1次助攻的数据，他的任务也就基本完成了。

After playing for another minute, D'Antoni simply replaced Ling Yang at the beginning of the rotation.

After Ling Yang came down, the Suns would be slightly weaker defensively, but Nash was in excellent form today, which also prevented the Suns from being too affected on the scene.

At 25:31, after the first quarter, the Suns led by 6 points.

It's just that such a lead was quickly wiped out after entering the second quarter.

The Suns' bench is deep enough, but the Spurs are not weak either.

Especially after the start of the second quarter, Popovich directly let Ginobili play the point guard on the court, leading the Spurs' substitute players to play extremely well on the court.

The original 6-point difference between the two teams was chased to only 2 points after only 2 minutes.

When D'Antoni let Nash return to the court, the scene was already in a stalemate.

The point difference between the two sides began to rise alternately, and this stalemate lasted until the end of the first half.

With 7 seconds before the end of the first half, the Suns still had a 2-point lead thanks to a tip-up from Marion.

However, Ginobili, the demon sword, charged forward from the backcourt all the way in these 7 seconds, and made a three-pointer at the buzzer in two steps outside the three-point line, which also ended the first half of the game. It became 56:55, but the Spurs led by 1 point.

This situation has not changed significantly after entering the second half of the game.

In the third quarter of the game, the defensive strength of the two teams was improving, and the offensive efficiency was also declining. In the middle of the third quarter, the Suns were once in trouble for offense, and the Spurs also widened the point difference to 4 points.

Fortunately, Nash quickly got out of the predicament with the ball, and cooperated with Lingyang's defense to complete another steal. The Suns played a wave of 6:0 and regained the lead, which also allowed the Suns to maintain the lead into the final quarter.

77:79, the difference of 2 points is not big, which also means that the game between the two sides will continue to be stalemate in the fourth quarter.

And entering the fourth quarter, it is true.

Ling Yang and other starting players only rested for 2 minutes off the court, and then were sent to the court to rest early. The point difference between the two sides also increased alternately, and the scene was extremely stalemate.

At 92:93, the game entered the final 2 minutes and 21 seconds, but the point difference between the two sides was still only 1 point, which also made the atmosphere on the scene extremely tense.

"Defend! Defend!

"

The Spurs' offense, in the Suns' home court, can hear the shouts of the defense, which is enough to prove how nervous and caring the fans are at the moment.

Amid such defensive shouts, the Suns' defense was indeed strong enough. Parker and Ginobili tried to attack continuously with the help of screen pick-and-rolls, but were stopped by Bell and Ling Yang.

The ball went to Duncan in the low post.

The Spurs' classic tactic, when the offense doesn't know what to do, hand the ball to Shifo.

Seeing Duncan taking the ball, Ling Yang and others were ready to attack at any time.

However, Duncan didn't give it a chance at all, raised his hand and made a signature 45-degree angle shot on the board, hitting 2 points.

94：93，2分01秒，马刺反超1分。

A timeout was just called in the first two rounds, but the Suns didn't call a timeout at this time. They served from the baseline, and Nash took the ball forward quickly.

However, the Spurs retreated quickly. When Nash dribbled the ball to half court, Ginobili had already stopped him.

Yes, the Spurs switched defenses again. After finding that Bowen couldn't keep up with Nash, Popovich asked Ginobili to match Nash.

However, Popovich no longer dared to let Parker face Ling Yang, but let Bowen defend Ling Yang, and Parker went to face Bell.

At this moment, the sun's defense line is very wide open.

Kurt Thomas took the initiative to mention the high pick-and-roll, Bell led Parker to the right corner, and Marion pulled Duncan out of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right.

The only one inside the three-point line is Ling Yang. At this moment, he is one step inside the left corner.

Thomas picked and rolled, Nash chose to go to the right, but neither Duncan defending Marion nor Parker defending Bell dared to shrink the defense.

Ginobili squeezed past Kurt Thomas and followed Nash, and Muhammad quickly retreated to help defend.

Kurt Thomas, who completed the mobile screen, immediately moved to the left of the free throw line. Nash had already seen this in his eyes. Thomas just stood still, and Nash's pass also came.

Bowen, who was originally defending Ling Yang on the bottom line on this side, had already moved towards the upper line. Seeing this scene, he rushed towards Thomas without hesitation.

At the same time, Muhammad, who was defending in the three-second zone, also rushed towards Ling Yang, which made Thomas, who was thinking of shooting or handing the ball to Ling Yang, in a dilemma.

Just this moment of hesitation, but both of them lost their chance.

"The Spurs' defensive rotation was excellent, Kurt had to hand the ball back to Steve..."

Looking at the scene on the field, McCawyin secretly cried out that it was a pity, if Thomas had just shot more decisively, or simply passed the ball faster, Ling Yang might have had a chance.

But at this time, Thomas could only hand the ball to Nash who went from the three-second zone to the middle distance.

Just in this way, this area was crowded with six players from the two teams, and the space suddenly became crowded.

After completing the pass, Thomas hurriedly moved along the free throw to the right to open up space, and Ling Yang also suddenly started cutting towards the basket at this moment.

Muhammad was obviously prepared, and retreated towards the three-second zone early.

However, Ling Yang's operation was just a fake operation. Seeing that he had rushed into the three-second zone, the next moment, he suddenly reversed and ran towards the bottom corner again.

At the same time, Nash, who was dribbling in the middle distance, suddenly started, forcibly breaking through Ginobili's defense from the middle.

Muhammad saw that Ling Yang had already left the three-second zone, but Nash had already rushed over, almost without thinking, he just moved his feet to help defend Nash in the middle.

And at this moment, Nash, who was breaking through, made a sudden back pass and passed the ball to the bottom line!

It was Ling Yang who just ran from the three-second zone!

Catch, jump and shoot!

The operation of Lingyang is done in one go!

Immediately after...

"Shh!

"

A clear sound of wiping the net made the scene jubilant!

"Beautiful tactical coordination! Ling's back run is very good, and Steve's pass is also in place!

Steve got the 10th assist of the game, and Ling also got his 16th point!The Suns took the lead again. "

McCaw Yin also shouted immediately.

Since the second half of the first quarter, the Spurs' defensive strength has been improving, which also makes the data of each player on the Sun's side not increase fast.

Nash got 4 assists in the first quarter, but now, Nash's assists are in double figures.

As for Ling Yang, after scoring 6 points in the first quarter, he only scored his 16th point until now.

On the sidelines, what D'Antoni saw was not the statistics of the two, but the success of this tactic.

This kind of cooperation would not be possible if Ling Yang did not know how to shoot in the past, but now Ling Yang has a close shot, which also allows Ling Yang to participate in more offenses.

94:95, 1 point difference, 1 minute and 42 seconds, the Spurs also did not call a timeout, Popovich showed full trust in the players at this moment.

Ling Yang stood in front of Parker tightly. After finding out that Ling Yang defended Parker well in the first quarter, in the following three quarters, Ling Yang was basically defending Parker.

Parker also had a full understanding of Ling Yang's defensive strength. At such a critical moment, he did not choose to attack by himself, but handed the ball to Duncan who was supporting him from the free throw line.

Duncan took the ball here, Bowen and Muhammad began to cover, and after Parker and Ginobili scored in the backcourt, they immediately began to run without the ball.

Ling Yang and Bell were also closely following the defense, but at the bottom line, Parker and Ginobili made a cross run, which caused Ling Yang and Bell to follow the defense for a moment of confusion.

Ling Yang glanced at Ginobili who had already run to the outside line, and then looked at Bell who was blocked by Parker. At this time, he simply switched defenses and followed Ginobili to the three-point line.

At this time, Parker also ran back, rushed to the free throw line again, and took Duncan's pass.

Bell followed closely at this time, and when he saw Parker dribbling directly to break through after receiving the ball, Bell hurriedly took a step back.

At this time, Parker suddenly stopped suddenly, jumped up and shot.

Although Bell quickly stopped his forward pounce, Parker had enough room to shoot the ball.

"boom!"

The ball bounced into the basket after hitting the inside of the basket.

At 1 minute and 24 seconds, the score was rewritten to 96:95. Although the offensive efficiency was not high in the first half of this quarter, the Spurs have played a very good offensive success rate so far.

"This is a strong team!"

Ling Yang couldn't help feeling emotional at this moment, the stronger the team, the more able it is to play at critical moments.

Parker has been defended by himself in this game, and he can still make contributions at critical moments at this time.

Ling Yang also knows that this kind of game is also a test for the sun. If he wants to go further, he must be able to play key shots.

Thinking of this, Ling Yang quickly ran to the other half.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a "wow" at the scene.

Realizing that something was wrong, Ling Yang quickly turned around, only to see that the basketball that was supposed to be in the hands of the Suns fell into Bowen's hands.

Mistake?

Ling Yang reacted quickly, and then rushed back quickly.

But at this time, Bowen did not wait for the players of the two teams to rush back, and directly dribbled the ball into the three-second zone by himself, facing Kurt Thomas for a layup.

"drop!"

Immediately afterwards, the referee's whistle sounded, Thomas made a defensive foul, and Bowen got two free throw opportunities.

Ling Yang, who was confused, looked at the big screen involuntarily at this time, wanting to see what was going on.

At this time, there was indeed a replay on the big screen. It turned out that Thomas and Nash wanted to quickly serve the ball to advance after Parker finished the attack just now.

But he made a mistake in his busy schedule, but was taken away by Bowen who was nearby and snatched the ball.

During this period of time, it was Ginobili who was defending Nash, so Nash probably didn't expect that Bowen would suddenly come to defend the serve.

As for Kurt Thomas, it's entirely possible he didn't notice.

Then, there was the scene that Ling Yang saw.

Looking at the time, 1 minute 21 seconds, 3 seconds, the Spurs led by 1 point got 2 free throw opportunities, this mistake, but it was a big loss.

Bowen stood at the free throw line, and the scene was booed violently.

"Shh!"

However, amidst such boos, Bowen made a steady free throw.

"drop!"

At this time, D'Antoni on the sidelines took the lead in calling a timeout. On the one hand, the Suns had already fallen into a passive situation. On the other hand, they also hoped to use such a timeout to interrupt Bowen's rhythm.

"Steve, we still have time, rhythm is one thing, but what we need is success rate, protect the rebound, don't make mistakes..."

D'Antoni emphasized it, and then began to arrange offensive tactics.

Regardless of whether Bowen can make a free throw for the next goal, for the Suns, the next attack is extremely important.

The short timeout ended quickly, and the players of the two teams returned to the field.

"Shh!

"

When Bowen stood on the free throw line, the scene once again rang out with violent boos.

Perhaps because of the booing, Bowen missed the free throw this time, and Ling Yang received the rebound steadily, which made the scene burst into cheers.

Stability is at the fore. After winning the rebound, Ling Yang first protected the ball to ensure its safety, and then handed the ball to Nash.

Nash dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, and Marion immediately put on the pick-and-roll. This is the most threatening tactic for the Suns, because Nash and Marion are the two most powerful offensive firepower on the team.

Nash showed a very strong desire to attack at this time. As soon as Marion covered, he dribbled the ball directly to the basket, and even Ginobili couldn't stop it at this time.

The Spurs' defensive line shrunk rapidly. Except for Ginobili who followed Nash, Bowen who defended Lingyang on the bottom line, and Duncan who played against Marion, they were all moving towards the basket, ready to help defend at any time.

At this time, Nash kept dribbling the ball towards the penalty area, until Duncan was attracted to leave Marion two steps away, and then Nash threw the ball and sent it to Marion.

However, at this time, Duncan seemed to have expected it, and quickly rushed back to Marion.

Facing Duncan who came to defend him, Marion didn't make a direct shot. He raised his hand and shot a feint. Marion dribbled the ball and went straight to the basket.

"Sean dribbles through the TD. This is a misplaced style of play. Sean positioned himself as a small forward at this moment, but TD's defense is not easy to break through. Sean will attack directly!"

McCaw Yin on the sidelines was shouting excitedly, while Ling Yang on the court was slightly astonished at this moment.

Marion dribbled through Duncan and entered the three-second zone. If D'Antoni's previous tactical arrangement was followed, Marion could pass the ball back to Nash for cooperation.

"Maybe Marion thinks the ball has gotten rid of Duncan's defense, but..."

At this time, Ling Yang could only think like this, and then he habitually rushed to the basket quickly.

In fact, in Ling Yang's view, Marion did not completely break through Duncan at this time. Although the Spurs core did not stop Marion, the defensive position was not lost.

Just when Ling Yang was thinking this way, something happened suddenly on the field.

Marion tried to layup directly, but just as Ling Yang thought, Duncan did not lose his position at this time, and took off in time at the side defense. Duncan relied on his height, covered the basketball with his big palm, and directly put the opponent who was trying to make a layup Marion pinned down.

The basketball falls to the floor.

At the same time, two figures rushed over quickly, and they all grabbed the basketball that had just fallen.
