Chapter 356 Unexpected Changes

The Rockets in the west have advanced to the finals with their heads held high, waiting for the Spurs and the Suns to decide the winner. At the same time, they are also the first team to sweep their opponents [-]-[-] in the semifinals, and they are the only ones One, because the other three pairs of opponents currently have a record of three to one.

The Detroit Pistons lead the Chicago Bulls [-]-[-], and the Cleveland Cavaliers lead the New Jersey Nets [-]-[-]. They are currently preparing for their own home games, and they are all likely to win their opponents at home and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Only the Spurs are leading but have no home court advantage. However, they have won a home court through their own efforts. The Spurs, who are currently leading [-] to [-], are being favored by more and more people because their opponent in the Western Conference Finals is the Rockets. Not to mention the lack of experience in key competitions, their lineup only has two strong points, Yao Ming and McGrady, which is not as balanced as the Spurs.

And if the Spurs can win the Western Conference Finals, whether they face the Detroit Pistons or the Cleveland Cavaliers, they should have a certain advantage. A Ben Wallace is a big miss, and their bench is very weak.

As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their lineup is not as good as the Pistons, only LeBron James is a strong point, but the Spurs have Stephen, who can compete with James the most in the league, so there are suddenly more talk about the Spurs winning the championship .

Even the atmosphere in the Spurs team is somewhat relaxed. They are already leading [-]-[-], and there are still three games to come. Could it be that the Spurs will lose three games in a row? , The Spurs won this series, how easy it is to win one game.

This idea is very popular in the bench lineup, but the main players are not so optimistic. In the last game, the strength of the Suns has been fully proved. The Spurs won very thrillingly. If not for Stephen's performance in the end, The Spurs will definitely lose this game.

Just as the Suns have no good solution to the Spurs, the Spurs also have no good solution to the Suns. The key depends on who is in better condition and who is more prepared. At this point, the Suns Better than the Spurs.

Because in the Spurs, many people already have a championship ring, another one is just icing on the cake for them, but for the Suns, all the main players in their team are still empty-handed. In this regard, the Spurs are not as good as the Suns.

Although the Spurs have many substitutes, there are also some disadvantages of having many substitutes, that is, your personnel changes are likely to bring adverse effects, while the Suns only have these few players on the field. Simple and effective.

What the Suns are after is a fast word. Simplicity is not a bad thing for them. On the contrary, the tactics of the Spurs are a bit too complicated and cumbersome. In the game against the Suns, they did not achieve any effective performance, especially In the fourth game, Stephen played a full 48 minutes from start to finish, basically nothing to do with tactics.

Regarding how to play the fifth game, several main players of the Spurs discussed in private, and they all felt that the fifth game was not so easy to play. back to their home ground.

The Suns, who are fighting to the death, will definitely work harder in this game. The last game has been a bit difficult to cope with. If the Suns still come up and attack like the last game, their own side must be prepared to deal with it , Don't let them open the score, so that they can hope to win the game.

So what they have established is that the starting lineup must defend against the first wave of the Spurs' offensive, and then slowly score. When the main force of the Suns, especially Nash, is not on the court, they will launch a fierce attack to try to open the score, and then go to the fourth quarter. Stay on guard.

When the team set up tactics, I heard that what **Vichitch said was basically the same as what everyone thought. It seems that the coach is not omnipotent. There are only a few ways to deal with such a situation, and there are many. The main reason for players to become coaches after retirement is that being a coach is quite simple.

Of course, this is also related to the encounter with the Suns. The tactics are not effective, and the coach has nothing to do. The Spurs have Duncan, and at the same time, there are several old players such as Robert Horry. The mental state is not necessary. The coach worries.

On the day of the game, the American Airlines Center arena is also crowded. The Suns play well and the team record is not bad. The ball market will definitely not be too bad. Of course, this is also related to the economy It is related to the situation, like the Detroit Pistons, which was originally one of the teams with the highest attendance rate in the league. With the downturn of the American auto industry, the relocation of factories and the outsourcing of job opportunities, it is possible to watch a game every few days There are fewer and fewer workers. As for the rich, when there are not enough opportunities to make money here, the rich leave here earlier.

Stephen followed Robert Horry after playing an away game in Detroit. When the two of them went out to play, they discovered that many blocks in Detroit were dark at night. Except for the dim lights flickering weakly from the street lights, basically It is rare to see light in the room, neither like a slum area nor a rich area.

After asking Robert Horry, Stephen found out that this is the rich area of ​​Detroit. No matter because there are no opportunities to make money here, many people give up their houses and go to other cities. Stephen was very surprised by the place where the homeless rested. He thought Detroit was a big city, but he didn't expect it to be worse than Charlotte.

Stephen once chatted and consulted others, and others told him that the economy determines everything. If there is no good economic conditions, everything is empty talk, just like you go to a team. If the economy here is declining, even if you The game is good, the team's record is good, and the market is not that good, but Phoenix is ​​okay here.

At the beginning of the game, the Suns launched a fierce attack on the Spurs. The Spurs put forward center Stoudemire, power forward Marion, small forward Lagabel, shooting guard Barbosa, An all-offensive lineup like point guard Nash.

The Spurs naturally suffer a bit when they fight with a regular lineup, especially at the beginning of the game, the opponent's speed has been raised, but the state of this side has not yet opened up. Slow heat is also a shortcoming of the Spurs. A mature old man naturally I can't get up soon either.

When relying on Stephen's scoring alone to try to confront the opponent, the score gap between the two sides has reached more than ten points from time to time, and then Stephen pulls back, and then the opponent surpasses again. The state comes out too early, and it will naturally decline in the later stages of the game.

Stephen didn't want to fight like this with the opponent so early, but no one on the team stepped forward, so he could only go all out. Fortunately, the offensive of the Suns was not that terrible. After playing for a few minutes, Duncan's state began to come out. , with his cooperation, the two joined hands to chase the score to only five points.

However, the Suns immediately made efforts to open the score again. Fortunately, Duncan played very hard. The Suns did not have Kurt Thomas, and Stoudemire couldn't stop him at all. At the end of the quarter, the Spurs trailed their opponents by seven points.

In the second quarter, the Spurs carried out a personnel rotation. Stephen and Duncan continued to stay on the court. Oberto, Parker and Michael Finley were off the court for a rest. This rotation is also to prevent the main players from being too concentrated for a period of time, making it impossible to rotate at other times.

At this time, the Suns' offense also started to exert force, but the Spurs were not bad, especially Ginobili, who made four three-pointers in this quarter and scored sixteen points. Also caused Lagabel three fouls.

Stephen didn't perform much in this quarter. He wanted to save more energy for the decisive moment in the second half, but it caused a misunderstanding, making people think that his condition was not very good. By the end of the second half, the Spurs only scored [-] points. The points are behind the Suns, which makes the Suns feel a little bad.

The lessons of the last game have clearly proved that in a game against a team like the Spurs, leading definitely does not mean insurance, let alone a stalemate. Said that there is no chance of losing, and if they want to win the championship, they must work hard.

So at the beginning of the second half, Nash stayed on the court and continued to lead his teammates to attack, but the Spurs were a little unprepared. **Vichick also replaced Stephen and Duncan according to the previous rotation. The end of the two of them was against the Spurs. The influence of the team was very great, and the Suns stretched the score to more than double digits in a while.

And no matter how hard the Spurs worked and how they adjusted, the Suns had always maintained the lead, and the lead was still expanding point by point. **Vichick even replaced Stephen in the middle of the third quarter. Although the trend of the gap being widened was briefly curbed, it had no effect on reversing the situation of the game.

At this moment, when Nash was advancing with the ball quickly, Robert Horry suddenly made a movement that no one thought of. He stood in front of Nash and stretched his arms to wrap Nash, and then flicked Nash hard. Throw it to the technical table.

Nash's head hit the technical table, and he couldn't see the exact extent of the injury, but the rapidly expanding bloodstain under his head made people dare not think about it. Stoudemire, who was originally sitting on the bench, stood up with a "wow" He rushed into the arena and punched Robert Horry.
