Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 851: [Huge hidden danger, massacre in the fir
Popovich can see that the Suns' adjustment of the starting lineup is not a problem with injuries or training newcomers, but a starting opportunity they have won for themselves. They are very suitable for the team's offensive system.
The inside of the Sun is stronger than last season. Popovich feels that if he does not strengthen the strength of the 4th position in the middle period, he will not be able to compete with the Sun and the Rockets in the playoffs.
The Suns have at least three dominant positions, and the No. 2 position also has an advantage. Roy is at its peak, and Bowen can't move.
Bowen lacked the ability to hold the ball, but he was able to make fast breaks occasionally, and he was sure of a three-point corner. Now Bowen is purely soy sauce on the offensive end, Morrow can easily stare at him, stand on the bottom line and follow it, he dare not take shots in other positions.
Bowen averaged only 2.6 points per game in the preseason, and his defensive end has slowed down. Popovich is considering changing him to the bench to reduce his playing time. Finley is also old, Granger may be digged away, and the Spurs flank a huge hidden danger.
Running fast for 24 seconds, Ginobili forced a layup under Duncan's cover and missed the interference. The rebound was grabbed by Stoudemire to launch a counterattack.
Guo Xu passed to Roy in the half, and there was a misalignment on the field. Roy turned his head and looked at Millsap who pulled out. After receiving the ball, Europe stepped past Duncan and the layup on the right was successful.
22 to 10. This ball is very morale, because Roy is facing the defensive core score. Spurs fans have become much quieter, and they can also see the difference in strength between the two teams.
The biggest threat to the Spurs is still Guo Xu. His suppression of Parker can be seen by anyone who has never seen the ball. Parker has become a point guard who can't open a three-pointer after dribbling half.
Guo Xu took two steps, and when speed was dominant, Parker couldn't pass him. In the confrontation, Parker has no advantage. He can only shoot two points from a long distance if he wants to shoot. Guo Xu is not good at interfering with the shot, but this is not the main task the Spurs need him to complete.
Parker was weaker than Guo Xu's previous life, and his confidence was almost lost to Guo Xu. In an environment where three-pointers are becoming more and more important, Popovich has allowed Parker to make three-pointers. He dares not to shoot, nor can he shoot.
Guo Xu played in coordination with the position, and only singled out when he counterattacked. The Spurs did not include him. Guo Xu, who slowed down in the 2007 playoffs, led the team to eliminate the Spurs. Now he is in good health and the Spurs have no way to take him.
In the first quarter, the Sun led 35 to 21. Guo Xu scored 11 points and 7 assists. Parker scored 1 of 3 shots and only had 2 points and 1 assist.
The rotation of the Suns in the second quarter was very luxurious, Lowry, Gerald Green, Grant Hill, Haslem, Jordan Jr. If in the weak team, these five people can start.
Dragic, Gortat and Barry didn't make it to or from the roster. All three are role players who can play a role.
Spurs substitute George Hill, Roger Mason, Finley, Matt Bonner, Kurt Thomas.
The fate of Aron Brooks has changed dramatically, he was abandoned by the Spurs.
Popovich doesn't look down on Little Black Bean. He thinks that a player like him is a black hole. No matter how many points he scores, his opponent can burst back from him. Moreover, Brooks' shooting percentage is very low, and his organizational ability is not good, just like a 180CM tall shooting guard, the style is very embarrassing.
The two sides competed in the bench, and the difference in points continued to widen.
The Suns have a clear routine, defensive joint defense, grab rebounds and try their best to counterattack, position battle Lowry and Jordan Jordan midfielder play pick-and-roll.
The "three axes" of the Sun in the fast break is difficult to prevent. Players in multiple positions have physical advantages, and heads-up play is an opportunity.
The Spurs' offense is not smooth, rookie Hill's style also tends to shooting guards, personal scoring ability is good. He is 186cm tall with bare feet and has a wingspan of 206CM, which makes him excellent in defense. But he was not good at organizing offense. After Parker took a break, the Spurs were short of outsiders.
In order to strengthen the offensive, Popovich changed into Parker and Hill to form a double back in a few minutes. The sun is the outside line of Guo Xu and Roy. He can play fast and can also play positions. Both positions have advantages.
At the end of the half, the Sun led 29 points and locked the victory early.
At halftime, Buckley said: "All teams are reluctant to face the Suns in the opener. Jason is always very serious at the beginning of the new season. He never put water in the first game, and getting a starter can improve morale."
Smith said: "Parker only scored 2 points in the half and made 1 of 5 shots. I think his mentality has collapsed."
Can Parker's mentality not collapse? Facing the sun most of the time he lost, and Guo Xufei dunked a basket. After that goal, his popularity dropped. Not only was he abused on the court, but Parker also lived a very depressed life outside the court. He did n’t talk about his girlfriend for a long time, and he also had a star wife.
Parker divorced Eva in this period of time, but he has not been married yet. He had no chance of being abused and sent ambiguous text messages with Brent-Barry's wife. The two couples in the previous life often hang out together. Later, when divorce Parker and Barry's wife heard the famous "stolen door.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the 2008-09 season was also a weak season for the Spurs. Their 54 wins in the regular season were acceptable, and the Mavericks were eliminated 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs.
Now the Spurs have an additional Granger, but the weakness of both the inside and the outside relying on Duncan is very obvious. Thomas can play a regular season, he may not be able to play in the playoffs, last season can not keep up with the rhythm.
In the third quarter, Guo Xu continued to play. The inside sent the twin towers of Stoudemire and Jordan, and entered the "double ghost door" mode.
The two men's task is to cover the outside teammates first, and then cut open, Guo Xu can break through the ball and observe the teammate's running position to send assists.
Duncan didn't go out to defend Guo Xu. He singled Parker as an opportunity. He could pass Thomas and Bonner in the wrong position. If Duncan defended out, it would be the five best ball performance time. Both Stoudemire and Jordan Jr. staged a wonderful dunk.
When the Spurs sent the twin towers, they were obviously weak. Oboto, Bonner, and Thomas couldn't make it to the basket. The Suns guarded the penalty area and the Spurs missed outside shots and failed to grab rebounds.
At the most of this quarter, the Sun reached 43 points in the lead, Guo Xu and Roy rested in the second half, and the Spurs recovered a few points, 35 points behind to enter the final quarter ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ This difference is impossible to chase Going on, both sides sent bench exercises. Jordan fell into foul trouble and loved to jump too inexperienced, so Gasol Jr. got the chance to play. The other four were Lowry, Green, Moon and Haslem.
Even if it is a marginal lineup, the Sun's offense is still very smooth. Xiaojia is responsible for defending the restricted area as a meat shield. Haslem is responsible for defensive pick-and-roll and takes a fast break immediately after taking the rebound.
Players selected to the 12-man roster have all been given the chance to play, and Morrow can all get off work early. Hill only played for 10 minutes, and D'Antoni thought he was too slow.
As soon as Duncan rested, the Spurs couldn't get into the penalty area anymore, and the players couldn't grab rebounds after shooting. The difference continues to widen, and some loyal Spurs fans can't stand it anymore. Many people choose to leave early.
Popovich did not change back to the main force, then it was even more humiliating to play the Sun bench at the main force, even if it catches up a little? In the third quarter, too many Spurs were behind. The defensive moves were a bit big. In the last quarter, the starters made their debut. In the event of impatience and conflict, the Spurs lost and lost.
In the final 131 to 84, the Spurs lost 47 points at home.
