Chapter 131 Reasonable or unreasonable, no matter what!
"Whoa!"
After making the extra free throw, Duncan immediately came to the offensive half and asked for the ball in the low post to beat Stoudemire!
After a tough confrontation at the basket, Duncan showed off his cross-step fake, and after knocking Stoudemire away, he easily hit the board under the basket.
This ball is a combination of strength and basic skills, and there is nothing Stoudemire can do about it.
It was not without reason that the whole league was in trouble for Duncan back then. "Shifo" was the kind of player who had his own system. The team could just play around him and everything was done!
Duncan's performance was like a stabilizing force to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.
In the rest of the second quarter, the two sides alternated the lead.
At halftime, the score between the two sides was 50 to 45, with the Suns temporarily leading by 5 points.
At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs stepped up their offensive rebounding efforts and succeeded in two consecutive attacks. The Suns also took advantage of the Spurs' delay in retreating to make several beautiful offensive and defensive transitions.
The score between the two sides was very tight, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides was getting stronger.
When he fell to the ground and was fighting, the old man forced Horry to hit the back of Nash's head in the chaos. Nash covered his head and fell to the ground. The two sides almost caused a conflict!
It's hard to tell whether the Spurs' behavior was intentional, because every time the Suns were injured, it was Nash, their soul and soul.
Under the Spurs' rough defense, Nash's performance was restricted. This quarter was almost a one-on-one game between Stoudemire and Chen Yan.
At the end of the third quarter, the Suns led by two points, 69-67.
Chen Yan's personal score has risen to 29 points, and it is certain that he will score 30 points tonight.
The difficulty of scoring 30 points on the Spurs is different from other teams. The Spurs are the best defensive team in the league. They only allow 90.6 points per game.
30 is equivalent to 1/3 of the points the Spurs lost in a single game!
Entering the fourth quarter, the physical fitness of all Spurs members declined. After all, the rapid retreat of the entire field requires high physical fitness.
The Suns are not much better. After a week of road trips, the Suns players feel exhausted both physically and mentally.
The game soon came to the last 3 minutes and 20 seconds, and the score was still stalemate. The Suns led the Spurs by one point, 84 to 83.
At this time, the Suns field lineup: Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw, Stoudemire.
Nash did not throw the ball rashly, dribbling at the top of the arc and waiting for his teammates to move.
At this stage of the game, every attack may determine the direction of the game.
Stoudemire reached for the ball near the free throw line, and Nash carefully lobbed it over.
Facing Duncan, Stoudemire took some luck and forced a start!
Stoudemire's face-up ability is top-notch among power forwards in history, and his outburst and finishing give even Duncan a headache.
Stoudemire used his speed to get rid of Duncan by half his body and directly attacked the basket!
At this time, Ginobili had quietly slipped into the penalty area from the bottom corner.
This is not Popovich's tactical deployment, but Ginobili's own reading of the game.
The moment Stoudemire forced himself up, Ginobili appeared in front of him with his crotch covered.
Before the two bodies came into contact, Ginobili made a tactical fallback and fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner!
This is Ginobili's playing style. When he breaks through, none of the three players can hold him back, but when he defends, he flies away at the slightest touch, with his hair flying everywhere, as if he has been murdered.
"Beep beep beep!"
Ginobili's acting skills were recognized by the referee, who immediately gestured for an offensive foul!
The whole Spurs crowd is excited!
Fans don't care whether Ginobili really fell or faked the fall, they only know that Ginobili won the ball once for the team.
Ginobili, who was lying on the ground, made a fist-clenching gesture in celebration, and was quickly pulled up by Duncan and Finley.
"He dived!!! It looked like he was shot!"
Stoudemire roared on the spot, looking like he was going to eat the referee!
His teammates quickly stepped forward and hugged him. If he allowed Stoudemire to scold him any more, he would probably die.
The Spurs kicked off and the game continued.
Parker is also pressing the pace here, and Chen Yan is responsible for defending him.
The Suns' perimeter defender, Raja Bell, went to guard Ginobili. When Parker and Ginobili were on the court at the same time, Ginobili became the Spurs' most threatening perimeter scoring point.
Nash still defends Bowen in the corner, so that his defensive disadvantage will not be magnified.
Parker did not choose to rush forward, nor did he rush to play the ball. The final moment of the game still focused on stability.
Duncan moved to the high post to cover Parker, and Parker took a step laterally and passed to Ginobili on the baseline.
Ginobili feinted and then accelerated toward the basket!
Laga Bell didn't take advantage of Ginobili's fake move and followed him closely.
But Ginobili doesn’t care so much, his breakthrough rhythm is here!
Leaning on Raja Bell, Ginobili took two steps across and threw the ball with an exaggerated backward angle.
Popovich, another Spurs player, would have scolded him on the sidelines for this kind of shot, but Ginobili can do it. Popovich knows that Ginobili has this kind of strength. He is known as Jordan in 20 minutes. In addition to physical strength,
Everything else is top notch!
The moment Ginobili fell to the ground, the basketball drew a parabola and then hit the board into the frame!
85 to 84!
The Spurs took their first lead of the second half!
"A difficult goal! Ginobili is the kind of player who cannot be judged by common sense. You never know what he will do next."
"This goal is likely to change the trend of the game. The atmosphere at Spurs' home court has been ignited by Manu's goal!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith laughed and discussed in the commentary box.
sun attack round,
D'Antoni did not call a timeout. Now he only has the last timeout left on his hands, and he must save it for the most critical moment.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
Under the leadership of the on-site DJ, the Spurs home fans shouted defense!
The competition has entered a real heated stage!
The Spurs also showed playoff-level defensive intensity!
Popovich continued to conduct remote control on the sidelines. He asked the Spurs players to switch defenses and retreat in the face of breakthroughs. He did not give the Suns three-pointers and breakthroughs, but only allowed them to make mid-range shots.
Popovich has always believed that mid-range shots can't kill anyone unless the player is named Kobe.
Nash was still under scrutiny after halftime. Bowen made great defensive moves and constantly challenged Nash.
This is the Spurs' home court, and the referee will not call Bowen's foul at the last minute.
Nash played a hand-off with Diaw at a 45-degree angle to the left of the three-point line and handed the ball to the French magician.
With Nash being restricted, Diaw is the Suns' best outlet.
Chen Yan came out from the bottom line, and Ginobili followed closely behind. The defensive level of the 'Demon Sword' is not top-notch, but the defensive attitude is definitely top-notch!
Chen Yan first accelerated, and then took a fierce step inside. The moment the two bodies came into contact, Chen Yan suddenly started the Wind Step and walked out.
Taking advantage of the sudden stop and stop rhythm changes, Chen Yan successfully got rid of Ginobili!
Ginobili has always been known for his coquettish moves, but Chen Yan's moves this round are even more coquettish!
Diaw observed Chen Yan's movement and dealt the cards at the top of the key.
The cannonballs were delivered to Chen Yan immediately!
Chen Yan caught the ball at the free throw line and fired directly, showing great confidence.
"fire-in-the-hole!"
Ginobili staggered to keep up, but was unable to interfere and could only watch the basketball go into the net.
"Whoa!"
86 to 85, the Suns once again took the lead!
Chen Yan feels good overall tonight, and now that we have entered the last three minutes of the game, Chen Yan's passive skill [Iron Ambition] has been triggered!
On the original basis, Chen Yan increased shooting stability by 10%-15% and hit rate by 3%-10%!
"Use the running position to get around and shoot from the mid-range. Hey, he hit it steadily. This shot is very reasonable!" Zhang Weiping was full of praise for Chen Yan's mid-range shot.
Spurs offensive possession.
Duncan made a strong inside attack to attract a double attack and then distributed the ball to Bowen in the bottom corner.
Bowen adjusted and took action. Nash pounced on the ball very fiercely. His desire to win tonight was also very strong!
"Clang!"
Bowen hit a three-pointer!
After Bowen missed the ball, the entire Spurs team retreated quickly. The offense can be missed, but the defense must be in place.
On the offensive end, Stoudemire did not ask for the ball in singles. In the second half of the fourth quarter, Stoudemire's singles efficiency plummeted due to his decline in physical fitness. He took the initiative to come to the weak side and provided an off-ball screen for Chen Yan.
Chen Yan received the ball from the outside after covering the screen. Ginobili bypassed Stoudemire and followed up. He would not give Chen Yan another chance to take an open shot.
Chen Yan grabbed the ball with one hand and put it behind his back, posing as his signature one-handed triple threat.
Thanks to a pair of big hands, Chen Yan is the most stylish player after Jordan who can do three threats with one hand.
Of course, in addition to being cool and unrestrained, it is also very practical. After all, Chen Yan's breakthrough and shooting are top-notch, and his passing skills are also of a good level.
Chen Yan grabbed the ball and waved it in front of Ginobili. Ginobili didn't make any fake moves and just stared at Chen Yan's footsteps.
If Chen Yan wants to make a sudden attack, anything Ginobili can do will delay his starting speed, and Duncan will do the rest.
If Chen Yan wants to shoot, he will throw all his strength to interfere.
After continuous testing with one hand, Chen Yan started.
After taking two horizontal steps, he suddenly took off!
"It's coming! It's time to pull it out!"
Looking at Chen Yan's familiar rhythm, even the commentators knew what he was going to do next, let alone Ginobili.
But the most desperate thing is knowing your opponent's next move, but just not being able to prevent it!
"Whoa!"
Chen Yan Yingfeng facial cumshots Ginobili!
This shot was blocked by Ginobili. It can be said that he has defended it perfectly, but he still couldn't stop Chen Yan's goal.
88 to 85!
"Good shot! Although the shot was unreasonable, there is nothing we can do about it, this is the star!"
After the goal was scored, Yu Jia made an intoxicating noise in the studio!
The audience in front of the TV was dumbfounded. How could these two explanations be so reasonable or unreasonable?
