NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 128 Persecution
"Damn..." Russell couldn't help exhaling.

After the Spurs stepped up their offense, Parker singled Russell more often.

Parker was stronger than White Chocolate, and Terry was more stable, Russell was a little depressed.

Fortunately, Parker's free throws are average, and now Parker's free throws are not as good as Stoudemire, can you believe it?
Russell didn't make many fouls before, and now Parker always humiliates him head-on, so let the opponent go to the free throw line.

Sure enough, Parker lived up to expectations, making one of two free throws was a good performance, and Russell finally felt a little better.

Relatively speaking, Duncan is a little more troublesome.

Yes, free throws are also average. Duncan is now more accurate than Parker.

Fortunately, Varejao and Marion resisted in turn, allowing Stoudemire to continue to explode on the offensive end and put pressure on the Spurs.

"My free throws are better than theirs, hahaha..." Stoudemire was a little excited.

He has more free throw opportunities. The outside world said that he is not good at free throws, and Russell always beat him.

Now meeting the Spurs, he is actually better than the opponent. This feeling is really good, and the extra training is even more fragrant.

"So, it won't hurt if you shoot more accurately." Russell took advantage of the opportunity to make the atmosphere of the team's shooting practice more enthusiastic.

The Suns don't want this situation if there is no defensive space and no free throws that can be adjusted slowly.

"The Spurs' basketball has always been a representative of rationality, but now it seems that the Suns' tactics are more reasonable. They play very flexibly and do not go head-to-head with the Spurs. I think this is the direction of modern basketball development."

"Actually, Xiao Kuai Ling was popular in Huaxia before. It was a very good tactic. Unfortunately, I have lost this set now. Look, does the sun have the taste of Xiao Kuai Ling?"

"Coach D'Antoni of the Suns is really good. Their tactics are much clearer than that of the Rockets. It would be great if Yao could partner with Russell."

"Russell's family is very rich. He bought the Suns directly. He can match players according to his needs. There is no problem of being stingy. That's why the Suns have become so powerful."

After the Rockets were eliminated early, Huaxia's basketball live broadcast focused on Russell.

Russell's wonderful performance in the playoffs has attracted him many fans, which can show that next year's All-Stars are stable.

Halfway through the final quarter, Duncan became more and more aggressive inside.

The sun can only choose to flank, and it is impossible to defend against the powerful stone Buddha if he is alone.

However, Duncan can also pass the ball. He attracts the defense and points to the outside. Barry hits a three-pointer.

The Suns are still leading, but not by much. In order to chase points, the Spurs sent three guards, Parker, Ginobili, and Barry. Duncan attracted the defense and then distributed the ball. .

If there is always one of the four points on the outside, Russell made a suggestion and Parker should be released.

Parker is all about speed now, and long-range shooting is weak, but the Spurs are not able to use Udrih, who has a better shot, and the Suns can also force the opponent's worst shooter to take a shot.

Anyway, they are leading, and they have the confidence to fight for shooting percentage, because the Suns can't be as strong as Parker no matter who the outside players stay.

Moreover, the Spurs will not flank them, they just play inside.

"How is it possible..." Popovich turned pale when he saw Russell pass the ball in again.

It's completely unreasonable. The Spurs have carefully studied Russell's passing before. Although his passing in the regular season is exaggerated, there are traces to follow. Other teams can't prevent it, and the Spurs still have a way.

But in the playoffs, Russell's passing was really like a flying fairy, which was too unscientific.

Popovich didn't know how many times he wanted to send someone to kill Russell. If it wasn't for his poor playing style, it is estimated that Bowen had already taken the order to implement it.

Bang Dang, Parker hit the iron outside the three-point line.

He is also very upset, he doesn't really like to shoot three-pointers, but the sun keeps forcing him.

This is already his fifth three-point shot in this game, but he just missed it.

In fact, Parker usually practiced three-pointers, and his shooting rate was not bad. After all, Duncan was such a big killer inside.

The Spurs are also quite used to him, playing pick-and-rolls with Duncan when the shooting percentage is not high, and good opportunities will easily appear.

However, now that the three-point line has been blocked, Marion and Iguodala's help defense is timely.

Moreover, the Spurs are still behind now. If they can hit a three-pointer, it will help the team a lot.

It's not that Parker didn't miss a three-pointer this time, but unfortunately he really missed it in the final quarter.

The Suns did not deliberately pursue three-pointers. The Suns shot a lot of three-pointers, but they took the lead at the last moment. They have always been very stable.

Stoudemire went in again. He first used his speed to get rid of it, and then received a pass from Russell to hit the basket.

The Spurs have no choice now. If Stoudemire goes up to pick and roll and they don't follow up, Stoudemire can rush in if there is space, and it is easy to get rid of if he follows up. Small players can only foul if they come up to help defend.

The Spurs definitely choose to foul, they can't let the Suns continue their momentum.

They hoped that there was a problem with Stoudemire's free throws. However, Stoudemire was superior in this game. After mocking the Spurs' free throws, he made 100% of his free throws in the final quarter.

After standing on the free throw line again, he made two more free throws.

When Barry hit a three-pointer just now, the point difference between the two teams was within 5 points, but the Suns just stabilized.

For one or two goals, the Spurs couldn't get past it.

The Suns are now flanking Duncan, but staring at Ginobili and Barry's three-pointers.

Parker can shoot casually from the three-point line, and Bowen's words can be a little intimidating. Bowen's three-pointer is also very average.

And this kind of 3D that can only stand on the bottom line, the sun is also experienced in defense.

The Spurs were forced by the Suns to only play one-year-olds and four-year-olds. When they competed for offense, the tempo came to the Suns' side.

As an enhanced version of the Grizzlies this season, the Spurs have finally embarked on the same path as the Grizzlies.

There is no way, their other insiders can't provide much help when the team is behind.

There were only 2 minutes left in the time, and the Spurs became more calm at this time.

As expected of the experienced Spurs in the playoffs, they still used Duncan to attract defensive attention, but the outside attack was no longer obsessed with three-pointers. Parker and Ginobili began to use their personal abilities to shoot long two-pointers before the help defense came up.

Score steadily, and then prevent the Suns from dying, is the Spurs' final decision.

This is where they are stronger than the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies players can't do this.

However, the Spurs' calmness may never catch up with the score.

When the Suns attacked again, Russell, who had passed the fairy ball to Stoudemire several times in a row, suddenly made a normal oblique pass.

Andre Iguodala was in that position, caught the ball and started, then jumped high.
