NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 375 Final Attack and Defense

During the rotation period in the second half, the Suns were ready, and Finley failed to score a single point.

Finley now realizes that he is only a role player and can play some tactics with the team, but he is really old when he is old. As long as the Suns stare at him, he will not be able to perform more.

The performance of the substitute players is not very good on the Suns side, but it is better than the Spurs side.

However, the Spurs still brought Ginobili to the bench, and this time he still performed well.

In fact, he didn't grab much of the ball from Parker in his first start, but only diverted some of the defensive attention.

Waiting for Parker to go down to rest, and then fire him with full firepower, is actually a good choice.

Of course, staying on the court will also consume. If the Suns hadn't pushed him to this point, the Spurs would still let him play as a substitute, which would be more efficient.

So in this case, when Russell returned to the court, the scores of the two teams were still about the same.

He didn't have much thought. Although the Suns' lineup is much stronger than the Spurs', their lineup is not yet mature, so it's normal for the Spurs to play like this at home.

But at the end of the game, it is still better than the performance of the star on the offensive end, and the Spurs are actually at a disadvantage.

The Spurs' superstar Duncan has both offense and defense, but he still prefers defense.

And the inside superstars have a lot of trouble taking over the score at the last moment, because they have to catch the ball first.

Unless you go out to the three-point line to catch the ball like Nowitzki, it is not so easy to catch the ball inside.

Therefore, the final moments of the playoffs are basically duels between outside stars.

Unless the opponent gives a chance, the Suns will definitely not give Duncan a chance, and they are not stupid.

Anyway, Duncan has no chance from beginning to end in this game, and the Suns are flanking.

So the Spurs still have to rely on two outside stars at the end of the quarter, and after Russell played, the connection with Stoudemire was opened again.

The Spurs still did not allow Duncan to directly defend Stoudemire, but to assist in defense.

Duncan has also successfully helped defend many times, but it is impossible to be in place every time.

Duncan's defense is actually a good choice, but unfortunately the Spurs' other insider is still weaker.

Russell's situation was different when he came up, but this time the Spurs were really tenacious.

When Parker came up, Ginobili, who quietly became a weak-side pitcher, was the best performance in several games when GDP played at the same time.

Every time the Suns were about to open the score, Ginobili would catch a three-pointer.

Instead of holding the ball, it's a complete catch-and-shoot.

Unlike ordinary pitchers, he almost ignores the defender in front of him.

This point has to be accepted. The Spurs have become a strong team in the Western Conference relying on GDP. These people still have two brushes.

When the game entered the last 5 minutes, Ginobili broke through and scored, Thomas made an inside hit, and the Spurs overtook the score.

The Spurs home fans are also excited. The Spurs played extremely tough today, and they see the hope of winning.

But more than ten seconds later, Russell helped Stoudemire create a wonderful scoring opportunity through a second pass, and the Spurs could only choose to foul.

The Spurs are also fouling when they catch it now, and the two tools at the fifth position don't care about the number of fouls.

Relatively speaking, because Gasol is still able to resist, the Suns did not deliberately foul Duncan as they did in previous seasons.

But it's also because the game didn't reach that level. The Spurs this season are relatively weak in the eyes of the Suns.

Of course, the Spurs played against them twice, and the Suns players still have to correct their attitude on the field.

"Concentrate, focus a little more..." Russell and his teammates took turns clapping their hands to encourage them.

As the time decreased, the defense of the two teams became tighter, and they spared no effort.

However, Russell was still provoking Parker with the same thing, giving him a chance to make a three-pointer.

Parker was really upset. He felt that his touch seemed to be well adjusted, so he tried it once.

It's a pity that he had a bad feeling when he took the shot. He really had some psychological shadows on the three-pointer, especially when there was such an annoying face as Russell in front of him.

Missing a three-pointer, Russell turned around and grabbed a rebound, planning a fast break.

The Spurs chose to foul again, but fortunately this time Stoudemire's free throw was not allowed.

But when Parker turned around, he still saw the serious face of the head coach Popovich. He was a little guilty, and at the same time secretly vowed that he would never be provoked by Russell again.

Next, Duncan missed a strong hit, but when Russell came back, he covered a long two-pointer, and the Spurs became the backward side again.

The atmosphere on the court became more and more tense, and the fans in the stadium became more and more angry.

"Ginobili didn't force the shot, the ball returned to Parker's hands, Duncan raised it up again to screen... a beautiful, decisive shot, and Parker made a two-pointer."

"It's Russell again. This time he was hit on the outside. Parker wanted to take the opportunity to take the ball. Unexpectedly, Russell had already noticed it and made a steady hit with a turn. Popovich seemed dissatisfied with Parker's defense and said something loudly on the court. sentence."

"But Parker returned it with a score. Duncan's screen is very strong. No other superstar will repeatedly screen for his teammates like Duncan, and he is solid every time."

"What would Russell choose? He still came by himself. He and Parker were completely matched. Because the Spurs could pinch him at this time, Russell didn't want to cover and signaled his teammates to pull away, but the Spurs were still ready to help defend... "

"It was a very good singles performance, and Russell stepped back after pressing in and hit it again."

After Russell hit again, Parker was a little shocked, because this is not the same as Russell's style.

But in this difficult singles, Russell still made a hit, which made Parker a little frustrated.

Turning back, Parker shot again, but missed.

It is not difficult to hit two or three times in a row, but it is too difficult to always hit.

And this time is already the last moment of the game, and Parker's physical strength has also been affected.

He really didn't have the confidence to defend Russell anymore. He didn't hold up hard, so when it was the Sun's turn to attack, Russell was flanked.

However, this time Russell passed the ball very decisively.

The Spurs' defensive rotation was still quite fast, but the ball returned to Russell's hands.

Russell made an action to pull up, but jumped up and passed the ball to Gasol Jr.

This is precisely when the Spurs' defensive rotation has a little problem. In fact, it is not in place. It's just that when the Spurs' defensive player came back, Gasol asked him to go to a deep position. Russell took advantage of this opportunity to pass the ball. Come over, Gasol Jr. hit the basket easily.

With only 40 seconds left, the Suns led by 2 points.

Next, the Spurs' offense must be hit. They also replaced Thomas at the fifth position, replaced Finley, added an attack point, and went all out.
