Although the Suns urgently changed their defensive strategy, Stephen, who is already fully fired, can completely limit the attack by two people, and the home court advantage is not in vain. After making a foul, he didn't dare to make such big moves, and restrained himself a little.

Stephen unceremoniously took advantage of this moment to start a fierce attack. He had just punched Marion once, and then punched Amare Stoudemire on the head. Stoudemire roared angrily, as always He dunks on other people's heads, and there are times when he is dunked by others.

For the Suns, Marion scored a shot. His weird shooting posture has its own uniqueness. This is his third shot in this quarter, and all three shots have failed. Stephen is now investing ten points in defense. The third is not enough, and the rest of the energy that can be used is on the attack, otherwise, it would be so easy for Marion to make a move.

Regarding this, **Vich is also aware of his fate, but he does not blame anything because of this, because it is impossible for a player to devote all his energy to both offensive and defensive ends. First, his physical strength does not allow it. You can't invest in it either.

Since Stephen's offense is needed now, it is normal to be a bit lax in defense. Marion is not a player who must be guarded. Although his average points per game is not low, he is only the third scorer of the Suns. At the same time, his Most of the scores are piecemeal, there is no coherence, and naturally there is no lethality.

After returning, Stephen continued to hit the basket, but when the Suns put all their focus on him, he suddenly passed the ball to Oberto who was standing behind Stoudemire. Although Oberto lacked offensive ability , But this kind of unguarded basket scoring is still no problem.

Aren’t you guys chasing and intercepting me? I’ll let you see that I’m not good at scoring either. Stoudemire was angry when he dunked hard on Oberto’s head, but when he came back, Stephen stormed to the basket again. Next, Stoudemire immediately rushed over fiercely.

He clearly remembered that Stephen slapped him on the head, and he wanted to cover Stephen with another one to get revenge, but he knew that Stephen had been waiting for him to turn around. As soon as he came over, Stephen immediately raised his hand, Si Tadamier immediately jumped high into the air, but he saw Stephen quickly retracted his hand, then pushed it to the left, and handed it to Oberto again.

Kurt Thomas is following Duncan every step of the way. How do you know that in these two or three rounds, Duncan didn't even touch the ball. After running with him for so long, Stephen made fun of Stoudemire. After the team made a shot from Nash, the team turned from offense to defense and retreated.

Stephen still did the same move. Since Marion and Lagabel didn't dare to reach out casually, there was nothing they could do about Stephen. He was killed by Stephen again to the basket. This time, Stoudemire didn't dare to move, and stared at Oberto. , Kurt Thomas made up, but Stephen passed the ball behind him to Duncan behind him. Although Duncan missed his first shot, Stephen quickly grabbed the rebound and handed it to him again.

This time he lived up to Stephen's pass, added another assist to Stephen, and assisted his teammates to score several times in a row. The Suns finally didn't dare to take care of Stephen anymore, but at this time Stephen began to self-important again. Score.

Stephen just let them focus on one thing and lose another. When you want to take care of him, he will pass the ball to teammates with better opportunities, but as soon as you relax on him, he will use continuous scoring to give you a good look, so as to defend There is nothing a team that is good at taking Stephen can do, let alone a team on the Suns side.

The Suns defend more with the defense of a single player, and a team like the Spurs, they have a whole set of defensive system, if a player fails to keep up, another person will quickly make up, when The flanking, who will make up for the loopholes he left, has a complete rotation, and the Suns naturally don't have such a system.

But when the simple defense was ineffective against Stephen, the Suns had nothing to do with Stephen. Stephen scored 28 points, which doesn't seem like too much at first glance, but he also sent out 23 assists, which is equal to nearly [-] points for him. Related, and the Spurs only scored [-] points in this quarter, and the Suns only scored [-] points.

In other words, the Spurs led by five points. This score is not unusual, because the Spurs have such an offensive power. After developing from Stephen's scoring ability, the Spurs' average points per game have continued to rise. Now the Spurs may not have the offensive firepower of players like the Mavericks or the Suns, but they are better than them in terms of offensive diversity and layering.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Spurs lead, but this kind of offensive battle made nearly 2 fans on the scene mesmerized by enthusiasm. The confrontation was reflected in a quarter of the game.

In the second quarter, the Suns insisted on their previous rotation, replacing Kurt Thomas and Diaw, and the Spurs also replaced most of the bench lineup as before. After changing to this lineup, the Suns insisted on their own The flanking attack on Stephen, because most of the players in this lineup are more mobile and flexible, it is not easy to lose position when defending, and it is easy to make up for it.

However, while Stephen maintains his threat of scoring, he is also actively assisting his teammate Ginobili to score, because as long as Lagabel comes over to flank him, Ginobili will inevitably lose his position, sometimes only for a moment Opportunities, but between Stephen and Ginobili, there is no need for any communication and communication at all, and Stephen can pass the ball.

The Spurs have always maintained their own advantage in points and did not give the Suns a chance to overtake. The Suns tried their best to score, but facing the Spurs' offensive shooting rate of more than 60.00%, the Suns are not as efficient as the offense. Useless.

Stephen focused on breakthroughs, and passed the ball to Ginobili when the opportunity was not good, and Ginobili's style of play became more and more weird under Stephen's urging, often appearing in places where the Suns could not make up. He has the ability to pass the ball with one hand. In addition to passing the ball to each other, he often passes some unpredictable passes to other people.

As a last resort, Nash strengthened his own offense. When facing Tony Parker's defense, Nash's offense still needs a little effort, but facing Udic, Nash has no psychological pressure. Udic's speed is slow Not to mention, the body reaction and the anticipation of the ball are incomparable with Tony Parker, but the rhythm changes in the footsteps can easily break through Udic's defense.

While Nash scored himself, he would not forget to assist his teammates. With his full promotion, the Suns gradually gained a little advantage in offense. However, Stephen and Ginobili played too relaxedly, and they even played consecutively. Twice there were mistakes, and Vicvic yelled at them from the sidelines like a hair dryer.

The two looked at each other and smiled, put away the relaxation just now, regained the sense of urgency unique to the playoffs, and devoted themselves to the game. At this time, the Suns had chased the score to only one point. , but the ball is in the hands of the Spurs.

With Marion in front and Lagabel behind, Stephen did not pass the ball directly as before, but squeezed Marion, protected the ball from being taken away by Lagabel, and at the same time moved to the bottom line The position moves.

Isn't this a self-casting trap? If you move to the bottom line, you will lose room to maneuver. When the opponent packs again, you will not be able to start the offense and pass the ball. However, Stephen is also mentally prepared for this. When he was approaching the bottom line, taking advantage of Marion's relaxation, he immediately turned around, turned his left foot as the axis, and pushed Marion hard behind him. Although Galabelle rushed over quickly, he was not as fast Stephen is fast, Stephen took a big step, and he reached the distance where he could jump. Although Stoudemire also rushed over, it was too late. Stephen did not dunk after jumping, but scored a layup. two points.

Nash made another two-point shot and once again brought the score closer to one point. But at this time, Stephen suddenly distributed the ball to Robert Horry on the outside during his onslaught. Robert Horry didn't stop at all, and the ball flew away Out of the palm, and then flew straight to the middle of the basket.

Seeing this **Vitch thought of it. Before the playoffs started, Robert Horry had communicated with himself in advance, hoping to retire after the end of this season. Rest and spend time with my daughter who has a genetic defect and cannot speak.

But **Vich doesn't want him to leave. Robert Horry is the only player on the team whose basketball IQ is close to Duncan's. When he is on the court, he can also complete a lot of Duncan's work. not come out.

Now Robert Horry's scoring average is less than five points per game, but many of his contributions are not reflected in the statistics. As long as he is in the bench lineup, the Spurs' tactical system can work. The team can only play another system.

**Vitch persuaded him to finish his one-year contract before retiring, and he would try to reduce his playing time, saying this **Vitch himself didn't believe it, and he also knew that Robert Horry's physical condition was not as good as last year. But in many cases he still has to keep him on the court, because he is irreplaceable.

Now these days, more than 300 million, you go there to find a big man who can support, pass and play pick-and-roll, and has height and experience, and this is just Robert Horry in the regular season, nicknamed "Mr. June" Robert Horry, his best position is on the battlefield of the finals, how can Vitch let him go so easily.

After making a three-pointer, Robert Horry ran excitedly on the field, and the fans cheered for him in unison. Robert Horry stopped after running halftime, put his hands above his ears, and pretended to be listening , Encouraged by this, the fans shouted even louder. Seeing how enjoying the game so much, Vicky's heart was relieved immediately, he would not leave the stage like this.
