NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 355
In the third quarter, the Spurs were still Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll, nothing new.

And the Suns began to pinch Duncan and release Parker for three-pointers. This trick has been tried and tested.

The Spurs had no choice but to allow Ginobili to play, and their reaction was also expected by the Sun.

The Spurs only have so many cards, it's not like the Suns can come up with several lineups.

Ginobili was able to score when he came up, but his efficiency has also become lower.

A player with a strong ability to hold the ball can do a little bit of everything but can only be the sixth man because of flaws.

In fact, Ginobili is not a typical sixth man, because he has a passing awareness, but his instability makes people love and hate.

It is definitely no problem to play against the weak chicken team, after all, he is only the third point of the team.

But facing a strong opponent like you, the Suns, if he can't perform stably, he will be seized by the Suns.

Because of Ginobili's mediocre performance and the other Spurs' role players being defended by the Suns, the Suns had an absolute advantage in the second half rotation period. Ellis and Hill were still average players. Ariza, Korver, Gasol is not bad, the Spurs can't compare.

In the final quarter, Duncan was still trapped in the pincer attack, and the Spurs let themselves go a little bit.

They let Ginobili play at will, and Ginobili shot 2-pointers with a 3% lower shooting percentage than 20-pointers. The key is that he shoots more 2-pointers.

As a result, the Spurs lost a bit aggrieved, and their mid-season changes seemed to have no effect.

With the Mavericks falling behind, the Spurs are competing with the Hornets for the second place in the Western Conference.

However, with the Spurs' urgency, they may not fully exert their strength, because the second and third are actually similar, and they will not face the Suns in the second round. The Spurs may not care too much about home court advantage.

This collision between the strong players in the west ended a little casually.

But by this time, everyone's minds have already flown to the playoffs.

The Suns still have a few home games. On March 3, the Suns beat the Grizzlies.

There was no suspense in the game. Both teams sent all their players to the field. It felt like a friendly match.

By this time, the poor teams have also begun to compete for the lottery.

Two days later, the Suns ushered in a challenge from the Warriors at home.

The Warriors are now desperately striving for a place in the playoffs. This season can be said to be the last peak of the bearded Davis. Although he is young, it is difficult to maintain the peak due to injuries and other reasons.

The Warriors are also fighting hard this season. Davis went crazy in the first quarter. When he is in good physical condition, he is also a ruthless role against Russell.

When Russell first came to the league, he was always bullied by this guy.

Now, Davis can only explode with Russell when he is in good shape, and only when he scores, Russell is better than him in other aspects.

This buddy is also a representative of the fluctuating hit rate. It may be because his body is very strong and he neglected some things, resulting in a rapid decline after more injuries.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors played very well, but they were completely offensive and didn't care about defense.

In terms of all-out attack, no one is more exaggerated than old Nelson.

The Warriors often just play with their hands, throwing casually from the outside. If they feel good, they can beat strong teams. If they feel bad, they can also come back against weak teams.

The Suns didn't care too much, they first confronted each other.

But the Suns are different, with Russell controlling the rhythm, they are more stable.

They can maintain a certain efficiency all the time, and the Warriors certainly cannot.

There are actually some teams in the league that can confront the Suns for a period of time, but there are really too few teams that can still confront the Suns after four quarters.

The Warriors were aggressive in front of them, but they showed signs of decline during the rotation period.

There is no way, they just have no substitutes, and it is impossible for their main lineup to fight against each other.

Their head coach, Old Nelson, arranged it like this. If you feel good, you can fight against it. If you feel bad, you can go down to rest and adjust. It is simple and rude but also useful.

It's just that no matter how you adjust, there will always be relatively weak links on the Warriors' field, and there are more than one places.

The sun did not, so the sun slowly began to take the initiative.

In the second quarter, Russell started to exert strength, and the Warriors couldn't stand it a little bit.

Fortunately, the first half was only that long, and when it entered the intermission, it was also considered to be biting the score.

But the Suns' temptations in the second quarter have already worked out, and they have a bottom line on how to play in the second half.

In the third quarter, the Suns increased their defensive intensity, and the Warriors played less comfortably.

The point is, their defense is still the same, and the Suns attack casually.

Just like that, the Suns sealed the victory, and what the Warriors can do is to let Davis play singles against Russell, which can be regarded as saving face.

When the time comes to look at the data, it seems that this player will not lose to Russell, but he must have lost the game.

In fact, both of them were quasi triple-doubles in the end. Russell had a little more assists and also had steals, but anyone who knows the ball can see that Russell is more than just a little bit higher than Davis.

After the game, Warriors head coach Nelson also said helplessly: "We played too badly in the third quarter. We didn't maintain a strong fighting spirit throughout the game. It's not that the players didn't try their best, but we didn't make the ball."

This is their philosophy, but unfortunately basketball is not a game of gambling.

And then, the Suns were the king of the big wins.

The end of the season is like this, some games will be very easy to play, and some games will be very difficult to play.

The sun's long and comfortable home time is finally over, and they will soon play back-to-back away games.

But at this time, the back-to-back away games are not necessarily difficult to play.

On March 3, they took the Trail Blazers in player leveling lightly.

Aldridge played well for the Blazers this time, but Roy didn't play well. The young man is unstable.

The next day they were going to meet the Supersonics, who were hitting the playoffs, but the Supersonics didn't choose to go head-to-head with them.

Both Martin and Marion had a truce, and Iguodala was struggling alone on the front line and did not resist for long.

Now there are only a dozen games left, and the Sonics have come to a critical moment of the season.

Their opponents are the Nuggets and Warriors. Not counting those theoretically promising teams, there are now ten teams in the West competing for playoff qualification.

The east is also competing, but the east is because everyone's record is not very good, and the west is because their record is too good.

In the East, less than 50% of the winning percentage can enter the playoffs, and in the West, 60% can not enter.

This season, the combat power of the Western Conference teams is really average, that is, the Suns are slightly stronger, and the other Spurs and Mavericks are already similar to many teams.

The west is extremely difficult, but it may not be possible to reach the top smoothly, because there is a Celtic team in the east.

It can be said that no one can easily win the championship this season.
