NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 132 Believe in Miracles
Duncan had four fouls on his back, but he didn't hold back when he played again.

Two regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs, Duncan has seen all kinds of scenes, he has never been afraid of O'Neal on the opponent, let alone young people like the Suns.

He came up and scored strong in the low post. With his restraint, Ginobili also hit a three-pointer from the outside. The Spurs, who were extremely difficult in the first few minutes, suddenly survived.

This is what a superstar means to a team, and Duncan deserves it.

The significance of a superstar to a team cannot be reflected by statistics at all. From this perspective, Russell, who is very average in defense and average in scoring, indeed belongs to the ranks of superstars.

There is no need to explain the life of cheating, so other superstars in the league, I'm sorry!
At the beginning of the final quarter, Duncan still killed the Quartet. In addition to the offensive response, the Suns let Varejao go to the top.

If they can't defend, they will be sent to the free throw line. They are not opponents in physical confrontation, but the Suns like it very much.

Still the same sentence, the Suns can let the Spurs play a few inside, they don't care, as long as it can consume Duncan, it is worth it.

What is frustrating for the Spurs now is that it is difficult for them to consume Russell in this way, and inside players like Duncan can only head-on.

It's a pity that Duncan's free throw percentage this time is really good. After Varejao made four fouls, the Suns also changed some tactics to let Varejao spend as much as possible without the ball and stop fouling.

On the offensive end, they also tried to continue killing Duncan, but it was a pity that Duncan was not fooled.

But this is also a good thing. If Duncan has concerns on the defensive end, Stoudemire will have less pressure on the offensive end.

The Suns just have to hold on to the lead now, and at the end of the day, they're not going to keep Varejao on the court.

After Duncan consumed a lot of energy on the offensive end, they will continue to speed up at the last moment, and it depends on what the Spurs do.

When Duncan went crazy, the Spurs almost caught up with the score a few times. It was really only one or two goals away, but the Suns still stabilized.

They are very powerful on the offensive end, mainly Stoudemire.

If both sides can't defend the opponent's strongest scoring point, the score will be deadlocked.

The stalemate is a good thing for the sun, because they are in the lead.

And when it was halfway through the final quarter, Duncan's efficiency finally began to decline.

After all, there is still a time limit in the face of double-team rampage, regardless of continuous consumption, then it is not human.

Duncan obviously can't do that, so as time goes by, Duncan is still a threat, but he can't kill the Quartet like the previous outbreak.

The sun took the opportunity to change, and Varejao went down to replace Horry.

Martin has no chance in this game, and it is better to let the veteran come up at the critical moment.

And Horry is indeed plug and play, and he received a pass from Russell and hit a three-pointer.

This made the Spurs players feel a pain in their hearts. They would not know that this benefit originally belonged to them.

Popovich didn't expect that it was time for him to make a decision again. The Spurs were still behind in the last 3 minutes. Should they increase their three-pointers or continue to play steadily and defend.

Now the Spurs are really not as confident as they were before the start of the Western Conference Finals. They thought they could guard against the young Suns, but now it seems that they really can't.

If you don't change, you may die slowly, and if you change, you can collapse instantly. It's really a bad choice.

As a famous coach, sometimes it is enough to stand on the sidelines with a cold expression.

Everyone will not make up your mind because you can't make up your mind, or it's too late to adjust. This is for the players to decide for themselves.

In terms of the lineup, there must still be one big and four small ones. At the last moment, finally don't worry about Duncan's foul.

Duncan puts more energy on the defensive end, so he can play the role of two inside guards.

However, just as Duncan was about to exert his strength on the defensive end, the fifth foul came.

Popovich was very angry. He put pressure on the referee again, but he didn't let Duncan go. He just wanted to see if the referee would send Duncan off.

If Duncan will really be fined, public opinion will definitely be on their side, then they have a chance to get it back at home, and it may not be a loss. This is the choice of a wily coach.

But the Sun will not have scruples, nothing is more attractive than a 2:0 lead in the series.

Let's talk about going to the away game. Only when we win will we have the confidence.

So they will still resolutely attack Duncan. Of course, the game is almost over at this time, and they will not specifically create damage, but they will be extremely resolute in attacking the inside.

"Ginobili hit two points. This is purely personal ability. Marion couldn't cover him."

"It's Stoudemire again. He is now the player with the most points in the game. Russell can always find a way to get the ball into his hands, and he will not disappoint his teammates."

"Duncan! Hit the board, and Duncan is still abnormally stable at the critical moment."

"Russell! An amazing choice. Just when they thought he would pass the ball again, he pulled up from the three-point line and pierced his throat with a sword. Russell is also a big heart."

"Russell's three-pointer stopped the Spurs, and there is not much time left for the Spurs."

The Spurs had to take a three-pointer, and they failed to defend the Suns' offense.

After the timeout, the Suns monitored the three-point line more closely. Ginobili tried to make a foul at the three-point line but failed, and the Spurs also failed in this attack.

The coaching staff reminded Russell for the rest of the game, and he began to take control.

The Spurs wanted to defend again, and did not immediately implement foul tactics.

Facing the approaching Parker, Russell pushed the basketball forward with both hands, exerting great force.

He pushed the ball in front of the center circle, but Stoudemire, who was wiping the basket, was Fuzhi's heart leaping high, alley-oop!Basketball dunk!
The Spurs were a little confused, didn't they want to control the time, why did such a thrilling pass suddenly come.

It took a few seconds for the opponent to realize that the person they were facing was called Russell. Other passing masters thought it was a very dangerous pass, and he might not be a big deal in his hands.

This ball also completely destroyed the momentum of the Spurs. The Spurs' offense did not fully implement the three-point tactics, but rushed in and made a foul.

Ginobili made one of two free throws, the game has no suspense.

The Spurs didn't even use foul tactics. Although there was a possibility of a comeback in theory, they gave up.

This is the Spurs. They are terribly calm many times. They don't believe in miracles.

Lose the ball, they will find it at home, rather than struggling in the sun's territory.

This kind of thing is different for the beholder and the wise see the wisdom. For the Suns players, they can only be happy.

The two consecutive victories in the Western Conference finals are really good progress.

Going to the away game is nothing more than fighting. The finals are getting closer and closer to them.

For them, they believe in miracles.
