Chapter 286 Hypnosis tactics, the Spurs have begun to torture fans!
att Arena.
There is still an hour and a half before the game starts, and there are already a sea of people outside the arena. The fans are either wearing Spurs jerseys or holding up cards to cheer for the team. The atmosphere is very hot!
In many articles about the Spurs, there are many references to the small city of San Antonio. In fact, the population of San Antonio has increased year by year in recent years. According to the U.S. census on July 1, 2004: San Antonio’s population was 1,236,249, ranking eighth in the United States.
place, only 27,500 less than seventh-ranked San Diego (California), and 25,000 more than ninth-ranked Dallas.
Since San Antonio is neither a Chinese gathering area nor a political, financial or important economic area, it is less well-known in China. In addition, it is located in the southern United States, inland near Mexico, and its transportation is not very convenient. It is not connected to major international cities.
Direct flights are cheaper in San Antonio.
The monotony of life contributes to the fact that San Antonio is not an international metropolis, but San Antonio is by no means a small city.
This city is not 'small' in terms of both its resident population and its fan population.
From the hotel to the arena, the Suns could feel the huge noise caused by Spurs fans.
Regarding this battle between old enemies, fans will not miss any opportunity to put pressure on the Suns!
Walking into the visiting team's locker room, I was greeted by another sense of oppression!
The Spurs' locker room is small and shabby. It can be called the simplest locker room in the league. Any bathroom outside will be better than this one.
The size of the locker room is only about 20 square meters. A group of 2-meter strong men are crowded in such a locker room, and you can imagine how they feel.
In addition to the space, there was an unpleasant smell in the Spurs locker room today.
"Shet! Did the people of San Antonio poop in the locker room?" Stoudemire couldn't help complaining when he was changing equipment before the game.
"This is simply a gas chamber, they must have deliberately released this smell!" Dio also cursed at the side.
Dior usually has the habit of making a cup of coffee before a game, but not today.
Because Dior couldn't imagine himself drinking coffee in a shit pile, it would be a shadow for his life.
D'Antoni looked at the players who kept complaining and tapped the tactical board twice: "We are here to win, not to enjoy! Let us ignore these off-field factors and focus on the field, where we are
battlefield!"
Nash also clapped his hands to encourage his teammates: "Cheer up and let's use our performance on the field to counter these little tricks by our opponents!"
Encouraged by D'Antoni and Nash, the Suns generals regained their energy, put their hands together and shouted the team slogan.
g3 will start soon!
Duncan succeeded in jumping the ball and the Spurs won the first attack!
After getting the ball, Parker did not rush to attack, but directed a wave of traffic from the top of the key.
Spurs players crossed paths, and Parker only released the ball with 12 seconds left in the attack time.
Finlay went around to the high post to catch the ball.
Chen Yan followed closely, and Finley didn't have a chance to make a move after turning around.
A lob, Finlay looking for Duncan.
After Duncan caught the ball, Chen Yan immediately let go of Finley and attacked him with Stoudemire!
"The Suns are double-teamed and won't give Duncan a chance to turn around easily!"
"Chen Yan was very active on the defensive end as soon as he came up!"
In the cctv5 studio, Zhang Lili and Yu Jia are making real-time broadcasts.
Duncan almost lost the ball in the double team, but as an experienced player, he controlled the ball in time and turned around forcefully, causing a defensive foul on Chen Yan!
Duncan stumbled and fell to the ground, and Chen Yan was also knocked upside down.
There was intense physical contact from the very beginning!
Fans can intuitively feel that the atmosphere between the two sides in this game is stronger than in the previous games!
Duncan straightened his jersey and stood at the free throw line.
One of two free throws.
The score on the field is 0:1.
Sun attack round.
The Spurs quickly retreated to the rear, and the Suns entered a positional battle to attack.
Chen Yan took the initiative to cover for Nash. After the pick-and-roll, Nash passed the ball to Chen Yan.
The Spurs did not choose to switch defense.
The quality of Chen Yan's screen in this round was not high. Parker bypassed his screen in advance, and Bowen also closely followed Chen Yan's footsteps.
On the court, Chen Yan was in a one-on-one situation with Bowen.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Chen Yan observed Bowen's footsteps and quickly changed direction!
Bowen concentrated on blocking Chen Yan's offensive route immediately, preventing him from rushing forward. At the same time, Bowen kept making small movements with his hands, making Chen Yan feel very uncomfortable while dribbling.
Chen Yan is not a soft persimmon. His offensive methods are very rich and kaleidoscope level.
After the physical contact between the two sides, Chen Yan had no intention of showing weakness and leaned on him and walked towards the three-point line.
Near the top of the arc, Chen Yan suddenly stopped!
Then he turned half around, turned over and threw his hand!
Bowen rushed forward with all his strength!
Bowen was very energetic tonight, even playing with a sense of anger!
No matter how you say it, Bowen is still a player on the best defensive team. For a rookie to score astonishingly high scores in the first two games in a row, this is a shame for Bowen!
Bowen has prepared a lot for the G3 game. According to local Spurs media reports, Bowen slept in a separate room with his wife for the past two days in order to maintain his condition.
How the media got the news is unknown...
"Clang!"
"Yeah!"
The next second, the sound of iron sounded together with the cheers of the home fans.
Chen Yan's turnaround jumper missed slightly due to Bowen's interference.
After landing, Chen Yan pointed directly at the referee and kept gesticulating and slapping his elbow, indicating that Bowen missed the ball.
However, the referee ignored it. The whistle that was blown was just water thrown out. How could it be taken back?
The referee stretched out his hand to signal the game to continue.
Chen Yan did not argue and quickly devoted himself to the defensive end.
This is the Spurs' territory, and it is normal to enjoy some home whistles. Chen Yan was mentally prepared before coming to the away game.
During the transition between offense and defense, Parker still chose to press the pace.
After slowly bringing the ball across half court, the Spurs began to guide the ball along the three-point line.
With 6 seconds left in the attack time, Parker used the screen to complete the shot.
"Clang!"
Not even!
For two consecutive rounds, the Spurs controlled the time in large numbers before taking action at the last moment.
This is exactly the tactic Popovich developed specifically for the Suns - use slow to control fast!
Using fast to beat slow can not only reduce the number of rounds for both sides, but it is also a psychological tactic, striving to wear down the Suns players and then use your own patience to defeat them.
Popovich is indeed the man nicknamed Zhugewei by domestic fans. He came up with such a weird tactic to limit the Suns when the team fell behind 0-2 in total.
However, this tactic achieved good results at the beginning.
The Suns lost their rhythm in the slow offensive and defensive transitions, and only scored a pitiful 17 points in the first quarter.
This is also the Suns' lowest score in the first quarter this season.
However, the Spurs are not much better, and the Spurs are not much better. The forced pressing of time makes their offensive rhythm very bad.
After the first quarter, the Spurs only scored 19 points.
Seeing such scenes and scores, domestic fans couldn't help but complain.
"Are the spurs retracted into the turtle shell?"
"This game is as slow as a senior college basketball game!"
"The Spurs are truly the most boring basketball team in the world!"
“My son’s school team’s basketball games are faster than this!”
"All Spurs players should change careers and become hypnotists. This game almost made me fall asleep!"
The Spurs' slow tactics not only tortured the Suns but also tortured the fans!
This is why the Spurs are not favored by the league. Their style of play is ratings poison. No one wants to watch such a dull game.
Since ABC TV began broadcasting the NBA in 2003, the lowest ratings for the Finals were all set by the Spurs: one was the Spurs versus the Nets in 2003, with a rating of 6.5, and the other was the Spurs versus the Cavaliers in 2007, when the ratings were 6.5.
6.2.
The Spurs are also a very rare team in sports history whose record is getting better and better and has fewer and fewer fans...
