In the end, the game ended with a score of [-] to [-]. The Spurs defeated the Miami Heat at home. The team broke up amicably, and Popovich also talked to Pat Riley about the past, and then the Heat left.

After a day off, the Spurs embarked on another journey, this time to Boston to challenge the Celtics. At the North Shore Bank Garden Stadium, Popovich once again changed his lineup, sacrificing Bruce Bowen and Stephen The teamed super defensive lineup provides a targeted defense against the Celtics' two powerful outsiders, Paul Pierce and Ricky Davis. Anyway, I have these two players, and others will think that I will adopt this. This tactic is just to try the power of two people working together.

Stephen made only [-] of [-] shots defended by Paul Pierce. For Pierce, this is already a very low shooting percentage, and Ricky Davis' performance was even more disappointing under Bruce Bowen's close fight. Level, [-] of [-] shots, plus Duncan's perfect rotation defense inside, it's not that after entering the garbage time in the fourth quarter, the Spurs' second bench relaxed their defense, and the Celtics even scored [-] points. less than.

After conquering the North Shore Bank Garden Stadium, the Spurs rushed to Atlanta non-stop. At the Philips Sports Center, the Spurs were still ahead in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles changed to a lineup with a strong impact. Suddenly counterattacked, but the Spurs were exhausted due to back-to-back away games. Facing the frenzied attack like a huge wave, Popovich once again resorted to yesterday's defensive lineup to slightly curb the opponent's scoring. Momentum, seeing that the Spurs' scoring momentum is about to pick up, but Ginobili is prone to slipping, sitting on the ground and rubbing his ankle.

Players are injured very suddenly when they lack physical strength or are extremely exhausted. This is because the body's reaction can no longer keep up with the body's command speed. At the same time, the lack of physical strength also prevents the original defensive or buffering actions from being completed. Seeing this, Popovich is very straightforward With a wave of his hand, Stephen and several other young or physically strong players were put on the field.

With a gap of twelve points and five and a half minutes, the Eagles are gaining momentum. With a group of old, weak and sick, can they overtake the score and win the game?Stephen is not 100% sure, but he has a fighting spirit.

Looking at his teammates behind him, Udic holds the ball, Brent Barry stands aside, Muhammad and Robert Horry have already stood inside, limited by physical problems, Robert Horry failed to make four three-pointers and four shots in this game. Therefore, he did not run to the outside line to wait for a shot, but stayed inside with peace of mind.

The Spurs put up an inverted triangle position that has never been seen. Udic and Brent Barry stand at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line. Stephen and Robert Horry stand on both sides of the free throw line. , Muhammad stands under the basket, like the sharp angle of the triangle goes straight into the basket, and he is just a tool to block people. The real offensive threat comes from Stephen and Robert Horry's inside cut and Udic and Brent Barry's excision.

Although Stephen's shooting is now close to the requirements of actual combat, Stephen's offense is mostly at the basket. At the same time, Popovich also requires Stephen to go as far as possible to the basket when attacking. Once in, the opportunity to attack came out.

However, the Eagles' defensive rotation is very different. The tactics that Stephen and Robert Horry often play are a bit unplayable. Facing Joe Johnson's defense, Brent Barry is locked up tightly. The ball fell down a few times. The opportunity seemed to be 24 seconds away, so Udic had to make a hasty shot from the outside.

When Udic took the shot, Stephen already felt that he would not go in, so he hurriedly jumped, squeezed away Josh Smith, and squeezed into the penalty area. Facing Zaza Pachulia's blocking position, Stephen just leaned hard Leaning him aside, Al Harrington jumped up high when he saw Stephen jump up, but when he had reached the highest point, he found that Stephen was already a head ahead of him. height, and continues to rise.

Al Harrington was very surprised by this. Although he said that the jump was not too high, but because he was nearly ten centimeters taller than the opponent, and both took off from the same spot, the height of the two sides should be about the same. Why did he jump so much? Although his wingspan was more than ten centimeters longer than Stephen's, Stephen jumped higher and earlier than him, so he caught the basketball first.

Since the point of the rebound was still some distance away from the basket, and Stephen had his back to the basket halfway, he had no chance to make a shot, so he had no choice but to land. The two of Lington sandwiched Stephen like two pieces of bread, and they couldn't afford Stephen's chance to take off.

Stephen moved left and right, and the other party was very close. At the same time, the four long arms were still waving high, covering the sky above Stephen's head. Seeing that the time was running out, Stephen felt anxious and yelled At the same time, he sat back, and immediately opened a gap between the two people who were tightly clamped. Then, using his right foot as the axis, he made a half-turn to the right side, and forcibly twisted his body to face the basket. At that moment, Al Harrington squeezed over again, and Pachulia also firmly resisted Stephen from behind.

But no matter how hard the two of them work, it's too late. As long as Stephen is facing the basket, Stephen will have the ability to take off. As long as he can take off, with the current distance, he can send the ball into the basket. When Stephen yelled again, with a slight sway of his body, he pushed away Pachulia and Harrington who were tightly clamping him, jumped out of it, raised his hands high and smashed towards the basket.

"I think Stephen should play football. It's a pity that he has such strength to play basketball." Duncan sat on the bench there, trying to relax his body. After seeing Stephen's goal, he couldn't help but talk to the neighbors Coach Carlesimo said.

"God knows how such a thin body can have such great strength. Could it be that yellow people have different muscle types from us?" Carlesimo also felt strange that Stephen's muscles were not as bulging as some people's They are all protrusions, not as sharp-edged as some. His limbs are particularly round, and he looks like an ordinary person, except that his muscles are slightly thicker. But why is his strength so great? People are strange.

After dunking the ball, the Hawks served halfway through. Joe Johnson had just caught Ivy's pass, and Stephen immediately appeared in front of him. Breaking through from the side, Stephen turned around and was about to follow up. Josh Smith was already standing between him and Joe Johnson. Stephen hurriedly turned around and turned from the other side of Josh Smith. At this time, Joe Johnson He has already got rid of Stephen to the outside, but there is Brent Barry standing in front of him, and behind Barry is Muhammad. If he wants to rush into the basket, he must also enter from the outside. At this time, Stephen has already run over from there. Seeing that he alone attracted the defense of the other three, Joe Johnson immediately made a shooting action. When Brent Barry rushed over, he suddenly changed his shot into a pass and handed the ball to Al who was near the free throw line. Harrington.

Like Robert Horry, Al Harrington is also an inside player who likes to shoot from the outside, but his range is relatively short, and he usually focuses on mid-range shots, and rarely pulls shots outside the three-point line. Al Harring Before Robert Horry could react, he shot the ball as soon as he caught it.

His shot was very neat this time, but the landing point of the ball was outrageous, and he only caught it over the basket. At this time, Stephen jumped high and directly took off the rebound. If it weren't for the color of the two jerseys, others Would have thought it was a pass.

Stephen raised his hand to throw out the basket, but suddenly found that there were no players running in the frontcourt at all, and Udic didn't know how to cooperate with the fast break, but continued to entangle with Ivy. Although Brent Barry It has already started, but his footsteps are not too fast, and the opponent's players are also following. Stephen was lucky enough to pass two balls and handed them to Udic. If he cooperated with Tony Parker or Ginobili just now, this At that time, the ball had already been scored. Even if he cooperated with Van Exel, he could form a three-on-two advantage at this time. It is a pity that this Udic is really inexperienced and doesn't even know how to play a fast break.

In this way, he had to slowly fall into the mode of positional warfare. Not to mention wasting time, the success rate was not high. Dicky passed the ball into Brent Barry's hands alive, without even seeing that Brent Barry had been defended and had no chance at all.

It wasn't that Stephen went over to catch it. Brent Barry lost the ball this time. After the ball was in Stephen's hands, Stephen immediately turned around and began to play Josh Smith with his back. Although Josh Smith is also [-] meters He is a strong man, but his footsteps are obviously not as good as Stephen's. Stephen found a shot opportunity in only two steps. He immediately turned around and turned into the Eagles' dream zone, and then made a backhand ball. Ria's foul.

Stephen still used the traditional posture of holding the toilet when making free throws, but he missed the free throw. The rebound was caught by Robert Horry who suddenly returned. into the basket.

In just one and a half minutes, the Spurs scored six points in a row and recovered half of the score gap. Seeing that there were 4 minutes left, Eagles coach Woodson felt that it was not time to relax. The number of timeouts was counted, and a timeout was called in a hurry.
