Chapter 851 of the main text of the Legend of Tomorrow [Huge Hidden Hazard, First Battle Massacre] Popovich could see that the Suns adjusted their lineup not to have injuries or train newcomers at all, but to the opportunity they have won themselves, and they are very suitable for the team's offensive system.

The Suns' inside line is stronger than last season. Popovich feels that if he doesn't strengthen his No. 4 position in the mid-term, he will be unable to compete with the Suns and the Rockets in the playoffs.

The Suns have at least three positions, and the No. 2 position is also advantageous. Roy is in his peak period, while Bowen can't beat him.

Bowen lacks the ability to hold the ball, but in the past he could occasionally make fast attacks and was sure to make three-pointers in the bottom corner. Now Bowen is purely playing on the offensive end, so Morrow can easily stare at him and just stand at the bottom line and follow him. He dare not take action at other positions.

Bowen averaged 2.6 points per game in the preseason, and his defensive movement speed has slowed down. Popovich is considering letting him play as a substitute to reduce his playing time. Finley is also old, Granger may be poached, and the Spurs wings have buried huge hidden dangers.

With 24 seconds of quick use, Ginobili made a forced breakthrough and layup under Duncan cover, and missed the rebound and was grabbed by Sir.

Guo Xu passed the ball to Roy through the half, and there was a misalignment on the court. Roy turned his head and looked at Millsap who was pulled out, closed the ball and passed Duncan, and made a layup from the right.

22-10. This goal is very morale because Roy scored against the core defensive points. Spurs fans have become much quieter, and they can also see the gap in strength between the two teams.

Guo Xu is still the biggest threat to the Spurs. Even those who have never seen the ball can see that Parker has become a point guard who can't shoot three-pointers after halftime.

Guo Xu took two steps and had the advantage in speed. Parker could not pass him, and he would be close to him as soon as he broke through. Parker had no advantage in confrontation. He could only shoot two points from a long distance if he wanted to make a move. Guo Xu was not easy to interfere with the shooting, but this was not the main task that the Spurs needed him to complete.

Parker is weaker than Guo Xu's previous life, and his confidence is almost ruined by Guo Xu. In the environment where three-pointers are becoming more and more important, Popovich has allowed Parker to shoot three-pointers, but he dare not make a shot himself, nor can he make a shot.

Guo Xu cooperated in the positional battle and only fought one-on-one when counterattacking. The Spurs did not double-team and he had a chance to make a mobile phone, and double-teamed it to help. In 2007, Guo Xu, whose playoff speed slowed down, led the team to eliminate the Spurs by organizing. Now he is in his best condition, and the Spurs have no choice but to do anything to him.

The Suns led 35-21 in the first quarter, Guo Xu scored 11 points and 7 assists, and Parker made 1 of 3 shots and scored only 2 points and 1 assist.

The Suns' rotation lineup in the second quarter was very luxurious, including Lowry, Gerald Green, Grant Hill, Haslem, and Jordan Jr. If they were in a weak team, these five people could play.

Dragic, Gotat and Bari did not make it to the roster, and these three are all role players who can play.

Spurs substitutes George Hill, Roger Mason, Finley, Matt Bonner, and Cote Thomas.

Aaron Brooks' fate changed drastically, and he was abandoned by the Spurs.

Popovich looked down on Xiao Hei Bean and believed that players like him were black holes. No matter how many points they scored, their opponents could burst back from him. Moreover, Brooks' shooting percentage was very low and his organizational ability was not good. He was like a 180cm tall shooting guard, and his playing style was very awkward.

As the two sides competed for substitutes, the gap continued to widen.

The Suns have clear routines, defend the defensive end, try to counterattack when grabbing rebounds, and fight Lowry and Jordan Jr. in the middle to play pick-and-roll.

It is difficult to defend against the "three axes" of the Suns in the fast attack. Players in multiple positions have physical advantages, and a one-on-one challenge is an opportunity.

The Spurs' offense is not very smooth, and the rookie Hill's style also tends to be a shooting guard, and his personal scoring ability is good. He is 186cm tall and his wingspan reaches 206cm, which makes him excellent defense. But he is not good at organizing offense. After Parker rested, the Spurs lacked a scoring score on the outside.

In order to strengthen the offense, Popovich replaced Parker and Hill to form a double defender a few minutes later, while the Suns were Guo Xu and Roy on the outside, and they could attack fast and play positions. They had advantages in single-handed battles at both positions.

At the end of the first half, the Suns led by 29 points and secured the victory early.

During the break, Barkley said: "All teams are unwilling to face the Suns in the opener. Jason was always serious at the beginning of the new season. He never lets go of the first game, and getting a good start can boost morale."

"Parker scored only 2 points in the first half and made 1 of 5 shots, and I think his mentality has collapsed."

Can Parker's mentality not collapse? He lost most of the time he faced the Suns, and was deducted by Guo Xu Feiyue. After that goal, his popularity dropped. Not only was he abused on the court, Parker also lived a depressed life off the court. None of his girlfriends talked about him long and he had a star wife less than that.

Parker was almost divorced from Eva during this period of his previous life, and now he has not been married yet. He was abused and did not have the chance to send ambiguous text messages to Brent Barry's wife. The two couples often went out together in their previous life. Later, when they divorced, Parker and Barry's wife were rumored to be the famous "stolen wife".

In Guo Xu's previous life, the 2008-09 season was also a season when the Spurs were weak overall. They achieved 54 wins in the regular season and performed well, but were eliminated by the Mavericks 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs.

Now the Spurs have one more Granger, but the inside offense and defense rely on Duncan's weaknesses are very obvious. Thomas can play in the regular season, but he may not be able to play even after entering the playoffs, and he couldn't keep up with the pace last season.

In the third quarter, Guo Xu continued to play, and the inside line sent the double towers of Sir and Jordan, entering the "Double Ghost Shoot" mode.

The task of these two people is to first cover the outside teammates, and then cut in the air. Guo Xu can break through by himself with the ball, and also observe his teammates' running position to send assists.

Duncan doesn't go out to assist Guo Xu, he is a chance to play Parker alone, and misaligned can pass Thomas and Bonner. If Duncan defends, it will be the best five balls to perform. Sir Jr. and Jordan Jr. both staged wonderful all-connect dunks.

The Spurs were obviously weaker when they sent the double towers, Oberto, Bonner, and Thomas were unable to score in the basket. The Suns defended the penalty area, and the Spurs failed to score a rebound without a shot from the outside.

At the most time in this quarter, the Suns led by 43 points. In the second half, Guo Xu and Roy rested, and the Spurs recovered a little point and fell 35 points to enter the final quarter.

It is impossible to catch up with this score difference, and both sides sent substitutes to exercise. Jordan Jr. was troubled by fouls and was too fond of jumping. Gasol Jr. got the chance to play. The other four were Lowry, Green, Moon, and Haslem.

Even with the marginal lineup, the Suns' offense is still very smooth. Xiao Jia, the inside player, is responsible for defending the penalty area as a meat shield, and Haslem is responsible for defending the pick-and-roll, and immediately takes a fast break after winning the rebound.

The players selected for the 12-man roster were all given the opportunity to play, and Morro could get off work early. Hill only played for 10 minutes. D'Antoni thought his speed was too slow, so it would be better for the new players to play more.

Once Duncan rested, the Spurs could not enter the penalty area, and the players could not grab the rebound after shooting. The gap continued to widen, and some loyal Spurs fans could not bear it anymore, and many people chose to leave the field early.

Popovich did not change back to the main player. At this time, it was even more embarrassing to play as the Suns substitute. So what if it catches up with a little score? The Spurs players' defensive actions were a bit big. In the last quarter, if they were impatient and caused a conflict, the Spurs lost the ball and lost the game.
