Chapter 275 SORRY, you can really do whatever you want with a plug-in
Phoenix Suns starting lineup: Steve Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Boris Diaw, Stoudemire.
San Antonio Spurs starting lineup: Tony Parker, Michael Finley, Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan, Fabricio Oberto.
The starting lineups of both sides have not been adjusted compared to g1. Generally speaking, teams will not change their lineup easily during the playoffs.
Changes in formation will not only destroy the team's long-term chemical reaction, but also destroy the team's balance and stability to a certain extent.
Stoudemire beat Duncan with a jump ball, and the Suns took the lead in attacking.
After landing, Nash handed the ball to Chen Yan hand in hand.
Letting Chen Yan complete the first attack at the beginning has almost become a fixed routine for the Suns this season.
Chen Yan did not choose individual singles when he came up. Instead, he raised his hand and asked Stoudemire to come up and play pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Chen Yan walked inside with the ball.
Duncan switched defense and Bowen also covered him from behind.
The two wanted to pinch Chen Yan at a 45-degree angle from the free throw line and force him to make a mistake!
However, Chen Yan was very focused tonight and quickly discerned the Spurs' defensive intentions.
Before falling into the circle of two people, Chen Yan had already thrown the basketball in his hand high towards the front!
This pass may seem careless, but in fact Chen Yan has already observed the movement of his teammates.
After the pick-and-roll, Stoudemire had quickly inserted himself into the Spurs' territory.
"bang!!!"
Less than 10 seconds into the game, Chen Yan connected with Stoudemire. Stoudemire gave the Suns the lead with an alley-oop dunk that shocked everyone!
2 to 0!
The atmosphere at the scene was already very lively, and the fans became even more excited after this dunk!
Stoudemire was extremely excited after landing. He first roared at the bottom line camera, then ran to Chen Yan to high-five: "Good pass! Chen, come with a few more!"
Chen Yan also responded to Stoudemire with a smile: "Amar'e, feel free to abuse the basket. The baskets in the US-West Arena are all insured."
With a big man like Stoudemire who has incredible athletic ability, it is not easy to get assists. Just find the right moment to throw the ball into the sky, and then hang up and watch his performance.
Ball possession transition, Spurs offensive turn.
Parker kept the pace going through the half.
Like the Suns' attack in the previous round, the Spurs also launched their attack through pick-and-rolls.
Duncan covered his crotch and stepped forward, completely blocking Raja Bell who was responsible for defending Parker!
Parker goes around the screen to gain shooting space from mid-range.
Without hesitation, Parker took action decisively.
"Whoa!"
The basketball hits the net!
2 to 2.
Parker responded to Stoudemire's dunk with a solid mid-range shot.
Both teams scored one goal each at the start.
Sun attack round.
Stoudemire, who had completed an alley-oop dunk in the last round, was still not over excited, so he took the initiative to ask for the ball in singles this round.
After continuous testing, Stoudemire took a confident shot from the mid-range.
"Clang!"
Regret forging iron.
Stoudemire has a mid-range shot, but the game has just started and his hands are still a little cold.
Looking back, the Spurs continued to use the pick-and-roll tactics from the previous round.
But the focus of the offense this round became Duncan.
After the screen, Duncan received a pass from Parker and easily hit the board in the penalty area.
4 to 2.
Duncan is a historical power forward, and letting him get the ball at this position is basically giving away points.
Chen Yan picked up the ball and served quickly from the baseline. He wanted to use the serve to speed up.
Chen Yan went directly across the half court to find Laga Bale.
Laga Bell has no ability to attack independently. He pauses for a second after receiving the ball and then hands it to Nash behind him.
At the moment of passing the ball, Laga Bell also moved towards the penalty area.
Nash hit the ground and handed the ball to Raja Bell very comfortably.
Bell took advantage of the situation after catching the ball.
The layup missed due to Finley's interference!
"Oh, it's such a pity that I missed this opportunity!" Zhang Lili couldn't help but lamented in the studio after seeing this scene.
"Laga Bale's speed and explosive power are not that outstanding. Chen Yan would probably have dunked the ball if he had replaced it." Sun Zhengping and Zhang Lili have been together for a long time, and now they are talking about Chen Yan.
Finley turned around to collect the rebound and did not rush to counterattack. He protected the ball and handed it to Parker.
This is Finley's 12th year playing in the NBA. The once high-spirited All-Star player has now become a veteran. With rich experience, he knows not to speed up at any time when playing with the Suns, otherwise he will play into the opponent's hands.
Parker brought it to halftime and directly hung inside.
Duncan got into position early and was waiting for the ball to come.
After catching the ball, Duncan hit hard with his back.
Signature board shot at a 45-degree angle on the left!
Duncan is worthy of being an NBA rebounder. He has a perfect grasp of the angle and strength. The basketball hit the backboard and bounced straight into the net!
6 to 2.
After scoring the goal, Duncan did not celebrate, and even had no expression on his face. He moved back to the defensive half like a stone Buddha.
Duncan stepped up his personal offense tonight. This was also Popovich's pre-game arrangement. He understood that if he wanted to win an away game, the Spurs' threesome must work together!
On the Suns side, an offensive ball was lost in vain due to coordination errors between Nash and Diaw.
D'Antoni's face felt a little bad. He was not very satisfied with the Suns' start.
The ball was transferred, and Parker led the way past half-court and looked for Duncan.
Duncan provided support from a high position, quickly moved the ball, and found Finley on the bottom line.
Duncan is in good shape, but he will not dominate the shot alone. This is the biggest difference between the Spurs and other teams.
Spurs coach Popovich does not allow individual heroism to appear here. What he pursues is the team, and it is the ultimate team.
"Whoa!"
Finlay didn't waste Duncan's assist, and he made a move.
9 to 2!
The young Finley could run and dunk, and at the end of his career he also successfully transformed into a pitcher.
"pause!"
The situation was a bit unstable when the Suns came up, and they were beaten to a 9-2 climax. D'Antoni on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore and called the first timeout of the game.
He knows that the Spurs are very capable of seizing opportunities. If the score is widened in the first quarter, the rest of the game will become very difficult.
"Be decisive in your shots, make more use of transitions, use screens to attack, and don't do unnecessary conduct, which will only increase our mistakes!" D'Antoni said while tapping the tactical panel.
This is not meant for any one player, but for all Suns players.
D'Antoni felt that the team was a little reluctant to let go, and the game started timidly.
Pause and come back.
Chen Yan said that he followed the instructions of the head coach. As soon as he came up, he used the screen of his teammates to go two steps outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and after receiving the ball, he directly made a three-pointer!
But this time Bowen bypassed the screen in advance and blocked it!
After G1, the Spurs were on guard against Chen Yan's ultra-long three-pointers, and it was difficult for Chen Yan to obtain the ample three-point shooting space as in G1.
Chen Yan was caught off guard by Bowen's sudden attack and even wanted to curse.
mmp, you’re still defending like this two steps beyond the three-point line, do you really think I’m a god?
In order to avoid Bowen's interference, Chen Yan deliberately increased the arc of his shot!
"Whoa!"
The rain falls on the rainbow and the water splashes everywhere!
9 to 5.
This ball not only shoots far, but also shoots high!
A very exaggerated three points!
The decibel level at Mercy Arena suddenly rose!
Fans watching the game on the big screen outside the arena also cheered.
It’s hard not to be excited when watching such a three-pointer!
Amid the huge cheers at the scene, Chen Yan spread his hands towards Bowen.
Sorry, with plug-ins you can really do whatever you want.
