Due to the [-]-point advantage, the Suns did not let Nash play the game, but sent a lineup of Barbosa, James Jones, Marion, Diaw, and Pat Bock. However, when D'Antoni saw Stephen play again, I couldn't help screaming in my heart, but then I was glad that I left Marion on the field, otherwise this guy wouldn't be unstoppable.

The lineup sent by the Spurs is Udic, Brent Barry, Bruce Bowen, Stephen, and Jack Butler. All the substitute players were dispatched.

As for why Jack Butler is used instead of Oberto, it is because Jack Butler's offense is better than Oberto's, and at the same time, the impact is also stronger. Now is the time to chase points, not the time for defense to delay time, so Oberto Not quite right.

The downside of this lineup is that none of these five have worked together before. Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry share the time Stephen is not on the court, and the Spurs have never tried it before. Robert Horry brought it to fight, or simply asked Duncan to bring it to fight.

But the Suns are not much better. Although Pat Bok is a big man of two meters one by one, he rarely plays in the regular season. Even James Jones can only occasionally get a chance to play, so they say The main players there are Barbosa, Marion and Dior.

Both teams have a starter, two substitutes, three main players and two role players. They are lineups that have basically never played together, but after playing, the effect is different. This is normal, because the Suns It does not particularly rely on tactical coordination, but the Spurs are used to tactics.

Especially Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry, both of them are used to playing in the Spurs' tactical system, but now the Spurs don't have players who can support or pick and roll inside like Duncan or Robert Horry. Zizi was very uncomfortable. Instead of closing the score, he was pulled back by four points.

There is a gap of sixteen points. Seeing that the Spurs are falling behind more and more, and the condition of other players is not so good, and if they lose this game, the Spurs will lose the home court advantage they have finally won. , if even such a Suns team can't win, let alone the next few games, and I don't have to think about the goal of winning a championship for the team after I decide to leave. Thinking of this, Stephen holds Tighten your fist.

No, I must reverse the current unfavorable situation and narrow the point difference when the main players of the Suns are not on the court. Stephen let out a long breath, then sucked it in slowly, and then let out another breath. After sucking again and again, Stephen felt that his state of mind had entered a state of calm and unwavering, but blood boiling.

Under the urging of this state of mind, the muscles trembled slightly, and it was like a flame was burning in the chest. Since there was no Ginobili, Udic dribbled the ball and handed it to Stephen directly, letting him to decide how to allocate, and after Stephen got the ball, he just took a pat on the ground and took a big step, starting from the three-point line, stepping to the free throw line in two steps, and then soaring into the sky, and hitting the basket. Fly away.

Pat Bock was overwhelmed and wanted to go up, and jumped up, trying to block Stephen, and Stephen would look him in the eye, and he didn't even hide, just raised his hands and flew forward, Pat Bock With all his strength, he found that he had only slightly swept the basketball, and his fingertips slid across the lower edge of the ball, and then drew three obvious nail marks on Stephen's forearm.

Although he had already started to fall, the two still collided. Stephen stopped flying forward, but Pat Bock was directly hit by Stephen and flew out backwards, but this distance was enough for Stephen to catch the ball. Hit the basket.

After falling, Stephen raised his arm high towards the referee. The referee didn't understand what Stephen meant, and thought that Stephen was threatening him. He stared at Stephen vigilantly and put the whistle in his mouth, but saw Stephen pointed to the finger marks on his right arm with another finger, and the referee understood.

However, they didn't have time to call Pat Bock for a foul, and now they are going to make an afterthought. They don't want to call Pat Bock a foul, but Stephen has turned around and stood at the free throw position. The two referees watched After looking at it, he had to let Stephen execute the free throw. After all, this is the home court, and the Spurs are behind. It is a bit unreasonable not to call such an obvious foul.

Stephen's free throw movement is very relaxed and freehand. With his current free throw percentage, he no longer needs to use the posture of pouring the toilet. If he wants to use it now, it is Stephen deliberately using it to please the fans, although he did not use it this time. means, but the fans still gave him great cheers and encouragement.

This dunk not only added three points for the Spurs, but also narrowed the gap by three points. More importantly, it re-inspired the fighting spirit of the Spurs team. At the same time, it also made everyone realize that the Spurs did not give up just because they fell behind. Even if only Stephen stayed on the court alone, he was still striving for victory.

Coming back, Jack Butler grabbed the rim on Pat Bock's missed shot, and while he passed to Udic, who then passed to Steph, delaying the timing of the fast break, Steph was still a The man took the ball and ran towards his own court, although Marion and Barbosa were already in front of him.

Barbosa was the first to greet him, nicknamed "Brazilian Lightning", he is also a fast player, but Stephen just swayed and dribbled with his crotch to leave him behind, Marion rushed over in a hurry, but Stephen Already jumping in the air, he made a large-scale backward jumper and threw the ball to the basket.

It is a pity that the ball bounced twice on the basket and did not jump into the basket, but fell to the outside. At this time, a figure jumped up under the basket and reached out to fill in the ball. At this time, the Spurs Most of the other players haven't run the half-court yet.

The gap of [-] points turned into [-] points in a blink of an eye. Barbosa finally made a two-point shot on the Suns side, but after he came back, Stephen rushed to the basket and thought he was jumping high. Everyone When he thought he was about to dunk again, he suddenly threw the ball out with a backhand.

Bruce Bowen, who had been ambushing in the bottom corner for a long time, jumped up and shot the ball smoothly after receiving the ball. The ball passed over the heads of James Jones and Dior and flew into the basket. Very good!With only ten points left, D'Antoni stood up and called a timeout.

However, after the timeout, the Suns still couldn't solve the scoring problem, especially seeing that the gap was getting smaller and smaller. The Spurs naturally strengthened their defense, and the Suns' scoring became more and more difficult. Stephen is still scoring. Even if he doesn't score, he can assist his teammates to score.

After another 3 minutes, the Spurs have narrowed the gap to only six points. Although the Suns are trying their best to score and defend, they can't continue like this. In desperation, D'Antoni replaced Nash, Stoudemire, Lagabel and others replaced Marion, who was already tired and unable to run.

The main force of the Suns returned to the court, and quickly scored two consecutive shots to widen the gap to ten points. However, Lagabel could not defend Stephen by himself, and Stephen quickly made a three-pointer in front of him. Points, and then blocked Nash's shot, fast break layup.

With only one minute and 47 seconds left in the third quarter, the Spurs chased the score to only five points, but they stopped here. With Nash hitting two consecutive three-pointers, although Stephen also scored four points. The score gap was still widening, and what made things worse was that Barbosa hit a three-pointer at the buzzer with only [-] seconds left in the third quarter.

With a [-]-point gap, the two teams entered the fourth quarter. At this time, the Spurs replaced Duncan, Robert Horry, Ginobili and Tony Parker, and the Suns except for Marion, the other main players have already arrived. Above, of course there is no change.

But after such a lineup returned to the court, the Spurs' offense was not as persistent and powerful as in the third quarter, because there were too many scoring points. Taking advantage of the Spurs' offensive stagnation, the Suns widened the score gap again in one fell swoop. At [-] points, Stephen's efforts in the third quarter were all useless.

**Vich saw that the other players were not in good condition, only Duncan was performing quite well, and Tony Parker and Ginobili seemed to be in poor health, so he called a timeout, instructing the players to take shots from the outside. Stephen is the main player, and Duncan is the main player inside. Although Ginobili and Tony Parker's offensive state is not very good, they are still better than others in terms of cooperation and performance.

After solving this problem, the Spurs began to slowly catch up with the Suns in scoring. The gap between the two sides kept narrowing, but there were repeated times. The Spurs did not have much advantage and could only progress slowly. , But time is moving towards the end minute by minute.

Everyone knows that the more they can't fight at this time, but they can't help but make people feel anxious. Fortunately, at this time, Duncan and Stephen of the Spurs are calm enough, combining internal and external, and their offense is very organized. With just one minute and 11 seconds to go, the Spurs cut the score to just three.

If the game develops normally, there are still three offensive opportunities. The Spurs only have one, but the Suns have two. Fortunately, the Suns missed the first offense, and there are 52 seconds left, which is equal to three more. offensive opportunities.

At this time, Stephen quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, and as soon as he reached the three-point line, he shot without hesitation. The ball hit the basket and bounced far away. Stephen strode forward , grabbed the rebound in the crowd, there was even Duncan in the crowd, and then turned around and came outside the three-point line again, continued to shoot, and the ball finally fell into the basket.

Seven seconds, the Spurs' offense took just seven seconds to go, with 45 seconds left.
