Chapter 534 Trying to Tie?

Although leading by 8 points, it looks good, but compared to the Suns' first two series, 8 points is actually not much.

"In the first quarter, both Marion and Marbury were stared to death, and Marbury was repeatedly double-teamed. The Suns failed to score the two most important scoring points, but relied on the hammer to make a strong play at the basket. There are also rebounds guaranteed, and the number of shots and scoring are not bad.

But Marbury was double-teamed, and the Suns had 3 more turnovers than the Spurs, which lowered the number of shots the Suns made. But the Spurs did not take advantage of what you said, Mr. Zhang. " Yu Jia said.

"Yes, this is absolute strength. The strongest team wins, no surprises. The Hammers significantly increased their shots in the first quarter. They took the ball 7 times in a single quarter and were cut 2 times. They made 5 of 5 shots and 3 of 5 free throws. , which became a two plus one, scoring a total of 13 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 steals, 4 blocks and 1 turnover. The performance is very good." Zhang Reasonable said.

"The Suns' defense is really strong, and the Spurs only scored 17 points. It did strangle the Suns' two main scoring points, but their own scoring ability was also limited by the Suns' defensive system," Yu added.

"Duncan was always going to the basket today. Even if Marion didn't follow up, he still went to the basket firmly. It must be for the rebound. He grabbed 4 rebounds in the first quarter, including an offensive rebound, and this He also scored offensive rebounds. This statistic is very good for him, and he grabbed the hammer." Zhang Lili said.

"But his offense at the basket was also assisted by the Hammer. He swallowed 2 blocks of the Hammer. The Hammer had 4 steals and 2 of them were given to him. His offensive efficiency in the first quarter was very low. .” Yu Jia laughed.

"Duncan is at the basket. When he gets the rebound, he must be suppressed by the hammer on the offensive end. This is a gain and loss, and you can't take it all." Zhang Lili said.

"In the first quarter today, the Hammers played their best on both ends of the offense and defense. Although it seems that they have a lot of balls, Horry's defense is all the kind of harassing defense, which is not a strong play. I think the physical consumption of the Hammers is not enough Big." Yu Jia said.

"Yes, Horry is better at defending against hammers than Nazr, so he managed to slash twice. The day before yesterday, Nazr didn't slash once." Zhang Lili said.

The two chatted, and the second quarter began.

The Spurs are the same as in the G1 game, the main players take turns playing with substitutes.

The Suns all came off the bench, and Chandler, Dazhi, Joe Johnson, Tony Allen, and Payton played together as five players.

At halftime, 42:42, the Spurs pulled back the score and the two teams tied.

"Playing like this, I think the Suns will slowly gain the advantage."

On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "It's useless for the Spurs to just pull back the score. The physical fitness of the Suns' main lineup has been guaranteed, and the balance of victory will gradually tilt toward the Suns."

"Charles, I agree with you in theory. But the game is not that simple, and I think we should be more cautious."

Kenny Smith said.

Neither side accepted half-time media interviews and returned to the locker room.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Popovich was using his brains, but he wanted to break his head, and he couldn't think of how to improve the team's scoring ability.

"During the offseason, one of Posey or Battier should be poached." He didn't think of an offensive tactic, but he thought of poaching a corner.

"Tim, you insisted on playing under the basket in the second half. We have guaranteed rebounds. This is an important factor for us to tie."

he said to Duncan.

After saying this, he felt a little desolate in his heart. When did the tie become the result of the Spurs' hard work?

Trying to tie? Shet!

"Rebound! Rebound..." he muttered in his heart.

Not to mention the second quarter, the Suns grabbed 16 rebounds in the first quarter, and the Spurs only had 12. Duncan went to do the hard work of grabbing rebounds, but the number of rebounds was still 4 less. He just couldn't win that big pest. This made him feel sad and indignant.

"In the second half, we stretched out and played rush tactics. Tim, you continue to work hard at the basket and cover the offense of Tony and Manu. Tony and Manu, you rush in, and we hit the success rate. With Tim's cover , I believe the success rate will be very high. In addition, on the defensive end, it is still the same as the first half, strangling the Suns' No. 1 position."

He said to Ginobili and Parker again.

"Bruce, your fixed-point three-pointer is an important scoring point in the second half, and you should shoot it on time. You have to work harder on the defensive end. This is what you should do, otherwise you will get a few million a year for nothing." He said to Bowen again Said.

"Nazir, at the basket, Tim will switch defenses with you. You must contain Marion. If Marion does not follow up on our offensive end, you must limit the big lane with Tim. Vermin. If Tim has the ball, you have to set up the offensive screen. As long as Marion doesn’t come in, you two play one at the basket, Tim is the main and you are the second, you can do these things.”

He urged Nazir again.

"I will."

Clenching his fists, Nazr vowed.

Popovich nodded, and he sat down, so be it, grind slowly, and rely on the Spurs' background to defeat the Suns.

If Li Ba heard his voice, he would definitely complain that the Spurs have a ghostly background, isn't it because of Duncan?

In the locker room of the home team, Frank has no good solution to the Spurs' No. 1 tactics. He can only let Posey and Battier strengthen the protection and support of Marbury.

"In addition, some medium and long passes can be appropriately added, and penetrating passes can be used to break the Spurs' defense." He said Marbury.

Marbury nodded and said, "If Hammer and Sean are free, I will do it."

Frank said to Li Ba and Marion: "When you are in the frontcourt, add some running positions and look for some open opportunities."

The two nodded.

There are no other problems. The problem with the sun is that the number one position is restricted, and everything else is normal.

Including Marion, who was defended by Duncan and made 2 of 6 shots in the first quarter, which is actually considered normal, after all, this is against Duncan.

"Iron Hammer, the outside shooting rate is low, you can hit more depending on the situation." Frank said again.

"No problem." Li Ba nodded.

At the critical moment, as the leader and core of the team, even if he is not the main scoring point on the offensive end, he should stand up.

At this time, defensive coach Ron Adams said to Marion: "Sean, if Duncan still hits the basket, he and Nazr will hand it over to the Hammer to solve it alone. On the defensive end, you go directly to double-team Ginobili or Parker." , whoever holds the ball double-teams. They want to choke Marbury, and we also choke one of them. Of course, if Duncan also pulls out to play, then you still guard him."

Frank went on to say: "Sean, on the offensive end, you have to pay attention to the cooperation with the Hammer. After pulling to the wing, Duncan defends, you immediately give the ball to the Hammer, and don't shoot outside.

We need to improve the success rate, they have strengthened rebound control, our turnovers are increasing again, and the advantage of the number of shots is not so great. "

"I'll keep an eye out."

Marion laughed, like a baboon, worthy of being Ewing's successor.
