At the end of the second quarter, under the full play of the substitute lineup, the Spurs almost evened out the nine-point gap, filling in only two points. The Spurs scored 34 points in a single quarter, Stephen scored [-] points, Gino Billy scored eight, Van Exel seven, Robert Horry six and Nesterovic two.

The Suns only scored 27 points in this quarter, and with almost all the main players on the court, the Suns have not taken advantage of physical fitness until now. After all, the starting lineup basically rests below the rotation like the Spurs. It's almost an hour.

Returning to the court in the third quarter, Nash and others still stayed on the court, while the Spurs continued to work hard on the bench. At the beginning of the game, Stephen scored two points with a jumper under the basket, giving the Spurs Level the score.

But then Nash penetrated two people and passed the ball to Dior. After Dior turned around to attract the attention of the defender, he passed the ball back to Nash who ran to the basket. Nash jumped up and put the ball into the basket Inside the frame, but after coming back, Robert Horry hit a mid-range shot to equalize the score again.

Then the two teams fell into a 2-minute scoring drought. Even Marion's dunk could hit the basket. At this time, D'Antoni finally replaced Nash with Barbosa. Bosa was originally a point guard, but he didn't have the vision and overall situation required by a point guard at all. He usually used it as a shooting guard a lot of the time, and he only acted as a ball-handler during the few minutes when Nash was off the court. defender.

D'Antoni noticed the weakness of the bench lineup, and it happened that several other players on the team had also recovered, so in this game, the Suns also had several new faces, such as Pat Burke who just replaced Dior on the field, and the substitute Ma Lyon's Kurt Thomas are all big inside players.

The reason why they rarely appear in the team's lineup is not that their strength is not good, nor that they have any injuries, but that their technical style conflicts with the running and bombing tactics, and they are rarely able to keep up with the team's speed and Rhythm, the seven-second offensive play that the Suns have always insisted on, there are a few inside players who can keep up.

What's more, this kind of offense requires players to have the ability to attack the frame, and they don't have it. The Suns don't need this time-consuming offensive method of playing back, so they can only come to the court when Nash is off the court. However, Nash has hardly had any injuries in the past few seasons, and he has to play about four to 10 minutes in each game, so their playing time is pitifully small.

Even if Stoudemire was reimbursed for the season, Tim Thomas and Diaw alone would not be able to play a full game. D'Antoni would just switch Marion to the power forward position and use a three-man rotation to solve the problem instead of using them. personal.

A bench lineup like the Suns has no reliable offensive ability to attack, and lacks a solid defense to defend. Facing the Spurs' wolf-like bench lineup, there will be opponents, especially Stephen under Lagabel's defense. , It's like a wild horse that is having fun, running wild around the inside of the Suns.

First, the bottom line dunk behind the back caused a foul by Kurt Thomas. He made two free throws and stole the ball from Pat Bock. Although he was blocked by Barbosa when he wanted to break fast, Stephen After stopping and accelerating, Barbosa was already blocked behind him, and then Stephen Dapeng soared into the air like spreading his wings, and then came a tomahawk dunk.

"Creak creak creak..." The rim was moaning overwhelmed. Stephen had already jumped off the rim. Without Nash, the Suns' offensive rhythm was almost the same as that of the Spurs. Don't worry about their fast break. But it is still necessary to retreat. No matter when the defense cannot be lost, this is Popovich's basketball philosophy.

Barbosa didn't have the ability to bully Tony Parker, but he was still good at dealing with Van Exel. Van Exel was never good at defense. Defense, but Van Exel was still left behind by him.

Barbosa's footsteps can't be retracted at all, so even if he saw an opponent's player suddenly appearing in front of him, he couldn't stop at all, and rushed straight towards Stephen. Stephen had predicted that he would break through Van Exel, so he made preparations early in the morning to block Barbosa's way forward.

If it was someone else, like Stephen who stood still and defended, he would definitely be able to get rid of it with a change of direction and acceleration, but Barbosa did not have this ability. Fortunately, before hitting Stephen, he knew how to throw the ball to the basket. If you throw it above the frame, you can't make it. What if you cheat a free throw after a foul.

He still looked up to see if the ball went into the basket, but as soon as he hit Stephen, he felt a huge reaction force coming towards him, and then his body naturally made a protective movement, and sat on his butt. above the floor, and then slid over a meter away.

Stephen stood there without moving his feet, but his upper body swayed. It didn't look like he was hit by someone at all. Since Stephen was standing far away from the reasonable collision zone, his feet didn't move at all, although Barbosa's casual throw went into the hoop, but he was called a charging foul on offense.

After returning, Stephen caused Marion's thug foul. Stephen made two free throws. The Spurs' lead at this time has reached six points. The Suns' James Jones finally hit a mid-range shot, but after returning, Robert Horry Just outside the three-point line, he showed his three-point stunt. The closer to the critical time, the more his stage. Although it is not yet the finals, Robert Horry has already made all the preparations, whether it is physical or psychology.

As the gap in the score continued to widen, D'Antoni couldn't sit still and had already applied to the technical table to replace Nash. Nash lay in front of the technical statistics table with a sleeping bag on his head, waiting for the next chance of a dead ball. No fouls were committed by either team at the time.

The official timeout has passed, and the Suns have already used a timeout. Applying for a timeout now is to advance the timeout in the fourth quarter. Judging from the current game situation, there will definitely be a fierce battle between the two sides in the fourth quarter , It's a bit too wasteful to use the timeout now, so D'Antoni hesitated.

But just this moment of hesitation, the Spurs scored three points more than the Suns, and now the gap reached ten points. D'Antonio had no choice but to stand up and call a timeout, taking advantage of the situation to replace all the main players. If the main force is replaced, no matter how big the gap is, it will be difficult to catch up.

D'Antoni is not confident. After being led by the Spurs by more than ten points, he reversed the game. It may be possible to say that the whole game is still possible, but in the first quarter of the game, it is better not to take that risk. In less than 3 minutes, the Suns replaced all the main players, while the Spurs still responded with substitutes.

As soon as the Suns switched to the main lineup, especially after the break, the quick wind and thunderous, mercury-like offense came back, and the Suns soon narrowed the score to only six points, but only in the third quarter. With seven seconds left in the offensive time, when Stephen was able to go straight to the basket and dunk with no one in front of him, he suddenly turned around and passed to Robert Horry. Robert Horry once again successfully showed his three-pointer. Sub-stunt.

In this way, the Spurs entered the fourth quarter with a nine-point lead, and Popovich also replaced the entire main lineup, but this lineup was still not the opponent of the Suns, and the score was pulled back a little bit. , No matter what adjustments the Spurs make, it will have no effect.

You can't stop the opponent's offense, but as long as you can score every offense, the score difference is still valid, but the Spurs' offense is not so effective, plus the score here is two points, the other side They scored three points, and the gap was naturally narrowed.

After being narrowed down to three points, Popovich called a timeout in desperation. He must hit the success rate, and at the same time try to shoot three points or make kills, otherwise he can only sit back and watch the leading advantage be reversed. After Popovich called a timeout, he quickly made adjustments, replaced Robert Horry and Stephen, and replaced Muhammad and Bruce Bowen.

Although they all have three-point ability, Robert Horry's three-point ability is more reliable in comparison, and his shots are more flexible than Bruce Bowen. As for Stephen, it is used to create damage. Duncan can also play Nene-Twin Towers.

As soon as Robert Horry came on the court, he created a lob cooperation with Duncan, and then Duncan made a shot and caused a foul. Although the free throw missed, Stephen took off this invaluable offensive rebound and took off the rebound After that, Stephen smashed the ball to the ground and immediately jumped into the air, waving the ball with one arm and dunking the ball into the basket.

In one round of offense, the Spurs scored four points. Except for Duncan, an old character, the other two players were new players. The gap was suddenly widened to seven points, helping the Spurs stabilize the situation. Popovich's adjustments seem to be working.

The Suns then made another three-pointer, this time by Lagabel. This is already the fifth three-pointer made by the Suns in the fourth quarter, and the number of three-pointers made is more than that of CIC One more, but Stephen immediately went to the basket, hit a layup and caused a foul by Tim Thomas at the same time, and made an additional penalty, still a seven-point gap.

In the following 3 minutes, the seven-point gap was like an insurmountable natural danger. No matter how hard the Suns tried, they could not narrow the gap. Seeing that the end of the game was getting closer, D'Antoni Another timeout was called.
