"The Phoenix Suns completely unleashed their energy tonight, which quickly put the San Antonio Spurs into an embarrassing situation in the first half!"
"If the Spurs lose this game, it means they will lose the entire series. They must make tactical and personnel adjustments as soon as possible."
During halftime, Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy were in the commentary box analyzing the first half.
Everyone knows that the Spurs must make adjustments. It is easy to say the word adjustment, but it is really difficult to make effective adjustments.
The fans at the Att Arena no longer had the momentum they had at the start of the game, and falling behind by 21 points at halftime was unacceptable to the home fans.
If g5 is a back-and-forth boxing match, then g6 is more like the sun punching a sandbag in one direction.
Spurs fans don't know what happened to the team. The only explanation may be that the Suns' offense is too efficient.
At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs sent out Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Oberto and Duncan.
The Suns sent Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw, and Stoudemire.
Both sides responded with their strongest lineups.
The Spurs tried to replicate G5's tactics and planned to use running and gunning to catch the Suns by surprise.
Parker came up with a fast break and scored two points!
Sun attack round.
Nash suddenly handed it over to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan started quickly after receiving the ball, and it was also a sudden pass to Diaw in the middle distance.
Two consecutive bursts completely disrupted the Spurs' defense, and Diaw got an open opportunity.
Dior adjusted for a second and then took action!
"Bang!"
The ball hit the neck of the basket and popped out.
Many players will choose to pause and adjust when they are absolutely open, thinking that this will help improve their shooting percentage, but often such adjustments cause players to lose their shooting rhythm.
Oberto picked off the rebound and made a long pass to find Parker.
Parker goes straight onto the expressway!
After a run, Parker made a small jump in the penalty area and then feinted.
The moment Parker ordered Ferraga Bell to take action, Chen Yan hit the horse and killed him!
The mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind. Chen Yan directly rejected Parker's scoring request with a nail board!
"Wow! It's flying!"
"Don't think that it'll be fine if you get rid of Laga Bell, Chen Yan is waiting for you in the air!"
"Super nailboard hat!"
"This is not a nail-biting hat, it's picking stars from the sky!"
Chen Yan's visually stunning big hat immediately aroused heated discussion among fans.
After landing, Chen Yan took advantage of Parker's lack of position and quickly switched offense and defense!
Lunging through the clouds, raising his hand for a layup!
Got two points!
First, he blocked Parker's must-goal, and then he succeeded in counterattack. This time, he scored 4 points!
Not only did the Spurs' speed-up tactics fail to catch the Suns by surprise, it actually played into their hands.
In the third quarter, the Suns played very well in this rhythm, often making three passes and two leads during the counterattack, which resulted in a dunk!
The Suns played their classic performance moment in this quarter!
Both the players on and off the court were beating their chests and roaring. If you didn't know just by looking at the players' momentum, you would have thought this was the Suns' home court.
Then, completely released.
At the end of three quarters, 82 to 57.
The Suns directly widened the point difference to 25 points!
The game already smells like a massacre.
Chen Yan's statistics in the three quarters were 23 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. His teammates were very good tonight, and he also reduced the number of personal shots.
Stoudemire is currently the highest scoring player in the game, scoring 31 points in just three quarters!
Stoudemire has always thrived when playing against the Spurs, as evidenced by his average of 37 points per game in the 2005 Western Conference Finals.
Stoudemire has yet to break out in this series. He was completely suppressed in the first 5 games and finally released it tonight!
In addition to offense, Stoudemire also made a lot of efforts on the defensive end.
The most obvious change from the previous two years is that he started pushing people, blocking people, and moving his legs on the defensive end.
Stoudemire is not Duncan, and he will never be a defensive powerhouse, but this season he has gone from being a loophole in the Suns' defense to someone who can sometimes wipe others' butts.
This is another big guarantee for the Suns on their way to winning the championship.
In the fourth quarter, Popovich continued to let the main players play.
Usually Spurs basketball focuses on health care and does not allow players to overexert themselves, but tonight is an exception.
In the life-and-death battle, Popovich plans to increase the playing time of the main players.
This tactic has also achieved certain results.
Duncan's stability and Parker's agility quickly brought the point difference to within 20 points.
At this time, 'Demon Sword' Ginobili once again demonstrated his key player attributes, with three consecutive three-pointers closing the point difference to about 10 points!
The cheers at the AT&T Arena grew louder again.
Fans began to imagine that the Spurs could have a hero tonight, just like Chen Yan in the last game.
However, Chen Yan broke the illusion of Spurs fans with his actions.
D'Antoni called a timeout, and after the timeout, Chen Yan returned to the game.
Chen Yan first used a pick-and-roll and then used his dribbling position to hit a long two-point shot!
The ball passed over Duncan's Wuzhishan, who was coming in for defense, and hit the net!
Once again, he received a long pass from Diaw, made a quick break to the basket, and succeeded in a layup!
The Spurs' retreat was obviously much slower than the opening game.
That's the price they paid for overusing players tonight.
The veteran is not dead, but he is gradually unable to move his legs...
Physical fitness is the basis of all techniques and tactics. The Suns continued to counterattack in the next few rounds, and the point difference quickly increased to 15 points.
Popovich finally couldn't sit still anymore, and he took out another clever plan from his bag!
Popovich glanced at Robert Horry on the bench.
Popovich waved his hand, indicating that it's your turn to play!
Before going on the court, Popovich said a few words in Horry's ear.
Horry nodded and walked to the sideline.
After coming on the field, Horry followed the team through two turns and finally found a chance in the third round!
Ginobili missed from mid-range, Stoudemire grabbed the rebound and found Chen Yan directly.
Chen Yan dribbles the ball from the sideline at high speed.
At this moment, Hori suddenly covered his crotch and rushed out!
On the surface, it looks like Horry is making an ordinary blocking move, but in fact, his body is already tense, ready to give Chen Yan, who is advancing at high speed, a hard blow!
The Spurs are currently 15 points behind, with nearly 7 minutes left before the end of the final quarter. Popovich believes that taking Chen Yan off at this time will give the Spurs hope of a comeback!
If we can create chaos by the way and get Suns players suspended, etc., it is not impossible to win this round of playoffs!
This is the task Popovich assigned Horry before he took the court!
Huo Li stared at Chen Yan.
Little did he know, Chen Yan's eyes were also locked on him.
When Horry came on the court, Chen Yan felt something was wrong.
It's true that Horry is Mr. Clutch. He is also a ruthless character. Without ruthlessness, he would not be able to shoot those key shots so well. The question is whether his ruthlessness is used in a fair way is open to question.
He won two championships with the Rockets, assisted the OK team to win three consecutive championships, and then helped the GDP team win the championship in 2005. In the 2006-07 season, Holly was already an old football ruffian, and he would never be honest.
He has a lot of thoughts when it comes to playing basketball.
He has a unique skill, that is, he will do the right things at the right time, including fouls that make his opponents unhappy or even angry.
But these are all in the past. This season is Robert Horry's final season, and his state has reached rock bottom. In this series, he averaged only 9.7 minutes per game and shot a pitiful 22% from three-point range.
Will Popovich turn the tide by sending him on the court at this time?
Anyway, Chen Yan doesn’t really believe it.
Moreover, Horry has harmed Nash, so he is considered a man with a criminal record.
So when Huo Li appeared in front of Chen Yan during the transition of this round, Chen Yan was already on guard!
Chen Yan's speed increased instead of decreasing!
"Bang!"
A heavy shoulder sprint, the two of them fell to the ground in pain in the violent collision!
The only difference is that Chen Yan's pain is fake, while Huo Li's pain is real.
The Suns bench stood up collectively, but this time they were very calm. The players pulled each other and didn't rush onto the court like they did last year.
Every time you learn something, you will gain wisdom. The Suns will not fall into the same pit two years in a row.
Players from both sides quickly gathered around, and the team doctors were ready to enter the court at any time.
A few seconds later, Chen Yan stood up and signaled to his teammates and team doctor that he was OK.
Horry was still rolling on the ground, his expression looking very painful.
The broadcast camera immediately replayed it, and it was seen that Chen Yan's elbow hit Horry's key part after accelerating his shoulder sinking.
"Fuck! A fatal chicken!"
"Holly has no roots?"
"Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded. Will Huo Li be like this?"
"Bakugan God of War Chen Yan!"
"As long as Chen Yan is not injured, I don't care about the rest!"
The Suns are the home team for most domestic viewers, so the fans naturally stand on their side and speak for the Suns.
The referee watched the replay and called Horry a blocking foul.
There is nothing wrong with this call. As for Horry's injury, in the eyes of the referee, it was just an accident...
Horry was quickly taken off the court for treatment by team doctors.
Horry left the game in less than a minute after playing.
If the Spurs are eliminated from the playoffs, this may be the last game of Horry's career.
The last game of his career ended in this way, which was inevitably a bit embarrassing.
Outside the sideline, Popovich looked bad.
His little grand plan was ruined just like that!
The most annoying thing is that it was my own foul.
It's a typical example of losing your wife and losing your troops!
For Chen Yan, he doesn't feel any guilt. If he doesn't take action, he may be the one who ends up.
His behavior is not considered dirty. At best, it can only be regarded as repaying the other person with his own way.
