After the game, many experts changed to optimism about the Suns' promotion, believing that they lacked Guo Xu, the lineup was still strong, and Roy also had the strength of an All-Star player.

Brandon Roy is almost hyped by experts because he is the kind of player who can combine points and score points and can be the core of a team. Guo Xu is not there, and he has changed from the second ball-holding offensive point to the core of the outside line, proving himself.

Some people say that Roy is seriously underestimated and deserves to be selected as an All-Star this season, and his tactical role is greater than that of Marion.

Some people say that his data is mediocre because he has too few shots. He can score more than 25 points per game with enough ball rights.

Some people also say that his leadership temperament is a waste to play in the Suns, and he can be the boss of a rebuilt team.

The coach and teammates praised Roy at the press conference. Marion is under great pressure now. In summer, he has made up his mind to leave the Suns. If he doesn't trade, he will become the fourth leader. The next big contract will definitely be ruined. Now he is still under the title of a third leader and has some fame.

Marion vaguely felt that Roy's personal ability was stronger than him. He could not lead the team like Roy. He was not suitable for playing pick-and-roll with his teammates. His breakthrough ability was average. You could tell that he could not make a quick stop jump shot based on his figure.

The Solars beat the Spurs two games in a row, and another important contributor is Paul Millsap.

The first assistant coach Thibodeau suggested that D'Antoni abandon Ariza and let Marion play the third position, Millsap as the substitute power forward, and played in rotation with Thomas.

Thomas is good at shooting and can open up space. When the Spurs go to Oberto, he will not become a defensive loophole. Once the Spurs replace Oberto, the Suns need to strengthen their defense.

Millsap was in the orthodox 4 position when he was in college. He was better at playing power forwards than Marion’s cameo. His strength can withstand the opponent’s inside line, and his speed is enough to prevent pick-and-roll, and he will not be easily passed by the defender. He also has excellent rebounding ability.

Only then did D'Antoni realize that Haslem is not irreplaceable, and Millsap is an underrated rookie.

In this series, Millsap averaged 15.4 minutes per game, scoring 5.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 52.5%.

On the surface, Millsap's data is average, but in fact he has played for a short time and is very efficient.

He averaged 2.2 frontcourt rebounds per game and was very active in rushing rebounds. If he was given more than 30 minutes of playing time, he might become a double-double player. His shooting percentage at the basket is 60.6% and his shooting percentage is 40.3%, but he didn't shoot much, and he averaged only 1 mid-range shot per game.

Millsap proved what it means to "gold always shines". He was a marginal person all season but never gave up on himself. He worked very hard in training in the team. He proved himself only when he met his teammates for five games in the playoffs. In the final analysis, his success lies in diligence.

Guo Xu did not go out for media interviews and called his teammates to encourage him, hoping that they would solve the Spurs in one go.

Winning the championship is also a win, it is better than losing. If his teammates are good, he doesn't have to come back in the finals, and the Eastern Conference team will definitely be better than the Spurs.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and it was not easy to win a straight home game at the Spurs. The coaching staff led by Vicky again thought of a way to deal with the Suns, which was to resolutely compete in small ball tactics and only have one big man.

Oberto no longer forms a double tower with Duncan, with veteran Finley playing a cameo appearance as a power forward. He played like this when he played against the Suns last season. There is no need to worry about being eaten by the Suns power forward. Thomas likes to shoot outside, and Millsap has no right to play.

In addition, Bowen, Granger, and the Spurs had three three-point shooting points on the court. After opening, Duncan and Parker played pick-and-roll. The Suns were not good at double-teaming the stars, so they would definitely be free if they passed the ball with one pair.

When Duncan rested in the second quarter, "butter player" Elson did not appear anymore. **Vic asked Matt Bonner, who was traded from the Raptors, to partner with Oberto, the inside, and Finley, Brent Barry, and Ginobili on the outside. There were four players in the team who could shoot three-pointers, and only Oberto was defensive.

Ginobili also has a clear advantage in playing the point guard against Lowry, and can directly hold the ball and play singles. The Spurs are in the defensive end and defend, and Ginobili lets Lowry two steps away from the long defense but not defends the shot.

In addition to Lowry, the Suns' weaknesses also have the stability of rookie players. Roy performed well in the first two games and supported the Suns' outside line, but he was restricted against Bowen in this game.

Roy played for 35 minutes, made 3 of 12 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored only 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 25%.

Four players in the Suns scored in double digits. Sir made 9 of 18 shots, 8 of 8 free throws, scored 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals, without assists. Marion made 9 of 16 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 24 points and 11 rebounds.

Without a good point guard to attack in series, the Suns just played randomly. Another person who scored in double digits was Bale, who made 4 of 11 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, and had 5 fouls.

Bale's shooting percentage is not high, and his role is still very critical. He played for 41 minutes because he is good at defending Ginobili. He can fight against the opponent's star one-on-one.

The Spurs scored five players in double digits, Parker played for 40 minutes, with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, 9 of 19 shots, 5 of 5 free throws, and a shooting percentage of 47.4%.

Duncan performed the most, playing in 33 minutes, making 9 of 14 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 21 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

The Spurs only Parker played for more than 35 minutes, and if they were leading by more than 15 points, they would take rotation. With some reservations, they beat the Suns 108 to 90 and 18 points.

After the game, experts who were good at both sides changed to optimism about the Spurs' advance to the finals, because the Spurs found a way to deal with the Suns and won the fourth game easily.

The Suns rushed back to Phoenix overnight, and the coaching staff had one day to discuss countermeasures. Whether they were strengthening defense or continuing to fight for offense, they had to target the Spurs to have hope of winning. Their advantage was that they fought at home, and the home team had a higher chance of winning in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Guo Xu felt that the next round of the sun would be very troublesome, because Roy called him for help and wanted to know how to deal with Bowen. When asked such a question, Roy was already lacking in confidence.

Guo Xu said: "Bao Wen rarely blocks. He just pesters you and keeps disrupting the rhythm of the offensive with small movements. Don't dribble the ball into the area where he is inaccurate in the shooting. He must have studied your data in advance and will deliberately put you in the blind spot of the shooting. Sometimes he relies on forcing and sometimes by pretending not to follow, so don't be fooled."

"Then what should I do?"

"Strong, jump shot against him when he is confident, or forcefully breaks through and breaks into the basket and makes a layup, provided that Duncan is drawn out and cannot make up for defense." Guo Xu paused for a moment and said seriously: "Don't be affected by him. He will never dare to step on you in this series."

"Why?"

Guo Xu explained: "Because Vujasic has already injured me by malicious fouls, if the Spurs use off-track tricks at this time, it would be even worse for the crime against the wind. They would offend the president. Even if they enter the finals, they would have to be beaten to death. No one wants to see such a team win the championship."

Bowen is bad, but he is not stupid. He will not make himself the negative focus of the league at this time. Moreover, the Spurs' lineup has an advantage in tactics, and **Vicci doesn't want to be caught.
