Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

Before the game, Popovich, who knew what the media would ask, directly canceled all the team’s pre-match interviews. He firmly protected his players and didn’t want them to be hurt by the media again, even if it didn’t work out. It must work, but Popovich will certainly not allow those reporters to come in and ask his players to remind them of that desperate night.

After all, this is something that even Popovich himself dare not recall. The entire Spurs even canceled all video playback courses. They never watched the first game video of the series.

That kind of suffering and despair can easily completely destroy a team's self-confidence.

The Spurs did not accept the interview, but the Suns will not let go of this opportunity. Their entire team appears to be full of confidence, and the entire team looks extremely relaxed when facing the media

Stoudemire: "Of course we will continue to attack Lin in this game! His touch is great, and he can continue to destroy the Spurs!"

Nash: "I am a point guard. I will try my best to pass the ball to the best teammate. Our best man is undoubtedly Lin!"

Lin Zhan: "Break the historical record of 63 points? Tonight? Maybe, if it feels good, I will try!"

Even though the entire Spurs team did not accept the interview, the content of the interview with the Suns still reached Popovich's ears.

"Look down on people, don't you?" Popovich threw away the tactical board in his hand angrily. He hated being ignored by his opponents, as if he could eliminate them at any time, but he was helpless.

Popovich took a few deep breaths, let his spirit relax completely, and thought about the strategy to deal with the battle.

It is impossible for Bruce Bowen to come back this season. After the examination in the hospital, three bones on Bowen’s foot were broken. He needs to undergo surgery and put some steel nails on his foot. The doctor said that if the recovery is not good, it is very likely A second surgery will be required to reshape Bowen's bones.

He has to rest for at least 6-8 months, not to mention this season, even the first half of next season, it is impossible for Bowen to come back.

The No. 1 defender can't play, and the Suns are united as one. Looking at Lin Zhan's appearance, it is obvious that he wants to continue to refresh his scoring record!

One time is not enough, want to break another record?

dream!

It is impossible for a saint fighter to be recruited in the same way...

No, the Spurs can't be beaten by the same trick twice!

Popovich still thinks the Suns are dreaming! No one can beat the Spurs in two consecutive games!

Well, while the Lakers have done it several times, impossible is impossible!

So, Popovich cleared his throat, attracted the attention of everyone on the Spurs, and began to arrange tactics: "Defensively, we double-team Lin! Double-team Lin from the beginning! Don't let him score, don't let He continues to break records! If the Suns dare to continue to attack Lin Zhan, let them pay the price!"

The atmosphere on the Suns side was completely different from the depression on the Spurs side. Smiles and joy appeared on everyone's faces. They all felt that this round of the series was already determined to win!

Even after passing the Spurs, the Suns have almost no opponents!

The most difficult series has started like this, and two consecutive championships are already beckoning to them!

Also relaxed was D'Antoni, who smiled and said: "Then, as Lin suggested, we have already dispersed the smoke bombs. The Spurs will definitely guard Lin at the beginning, and everything is going according to plan!"

"yes!"

"Then, shout out our slogan!"

D'Antoni was the first to reach out, and then Nash, Stoudemire, Lin Zhan and the entire Suns team all came together as a source.

"we are the champion!"

"we are the champion!"

"we are the champion!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the fans, all members of the Suns walked out of the locker room and came to the center of the American Airlines Arena. Each of them had relaxed and absolute confidence on their faces. Lin Zhan's performance in the last game, It has inspired the spirit of the Suns team!

The players on both sides didn't say much, and they all knew that it was unnecessary.

The two sides stand in their respective positions, and with the whistle of the referee, the game begins!

Stoudemire defeated Duncan again and won the first wave of ball rights.

Nash dribbled to the frontcourt. Instead of playing a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, he waited for something.

Lin Zhan shuttled quickly inside the Spurs. Suddenly, he reversed and changed direction, throwing off Finley's entanglement.

When it came to the top of the arc, Nash's pass came out immediately and flew towards Lin Zhan.

Parker and Ginobili, who was put on the starting lineup, immediately shrank towards Lin Zhan, together with Finley who was chasing him, the three completed the encirclement of Lin Zhan in an instant!

"Oh my God! Popovich double-teamed Lin Zhan in the first round!" Kenny exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"If I was scored 61 points at halftime in the last game, then I might be double-teamed by four people!" Barkley smiled and continued to watch the game.

Lin Zhan got the basketball without the slightest hesitation or frustration. He pulled it up and made a 3-point shot!

The basketball flew across the sky, over the heads of 3 Spurs players, and flew to the hoop!

"Shua!"

Under the incredible eyes of Popovich and the Spurs, Lin Zhan hit the basketball for the 25th consecutive time in this round.

"This is impossible!"

Popovich is going crazy, 3 people encircle, how can he still throw like this? Will he still hit all 20 shots tonight?

Fortunately, Popovich's worries did not come true. Lin Zhan is just concerned, but he is not Shintaro Midorima, and he does not have any causal weapons that are 100% sure to hit.

Lin Zhan himself feels that compared to the generation of miracles, this thing of his own is considered a fucking hang-up? That is the real hang-up!

In the first 3 minutes of the start, Lin Zhan was still the first offensive point of the Suns. His shooting was still accurate, but not as exaggerated as before. He made 3 of 6 shots in 3 minutes and scored 7 points. The Spurs saw Lin Zhan was still scoring points non-stop, and the double-teaming and defense against him couldn't help but become tighter. Everyone could see that the Spurs put a lot of energy on Lin Zhan!

"Steve!" D'Antoni on the sidelines suddenly yelled, Nash didn't look back, but calmly made a gesture of reassurance to D'Antoni.

In the next few minutes, the Suns' style suddenly changed!

Stoudemire and Nash's pick-and-rolls began to appear frequently. The whole team no longer looked at Lin Zhan's singles, but all kinds of signature back-running, off-ball screens, team fast-downs, and pick-and-rolls all appeared again!

………seeking flowers… 0

The Spurs' defense didn't react immediately, and still put a lot of attention on Lin Zhan, but in the game after the first quarter, Lin Zhan hardly even touched the ball!

Lin Zhan is like Kobe Bryant in the first round of last year's playoffs. He has completely become a feint point to attract the attention of the Spurs! He does not attack, but keeps running, sucking

And the emperor's defensive attention that is holding back the Spurs!

When the Spurs' defensive attention was largely attracted by Lin Zhan, the Suns' offense played more easily!

Mercury flooding the ground, Tiannv scattering flowers, non-stop ball, non-stop descriptions are not enough to describe their smooth team offense.

The rhythm of the entire first quarter fell into the hands of the Suns, and they brought the rhythm of the game up!

Even though Lin Zhan barely touched the ball a few minutes after the first quarter, the Suns still scored 40 points like crazy!

On the contrary, the Spurs, because of their excessive concern for Lin Zhan, made them lose sight of one another on the defensive end.

0.......

It also made their offense not very smooth. Although the pace of the game was fast, they only scored 25 points in the first quarter!

During the break during the quarter, Popovich finally reacted after seeing the 15-point difference in the first quarter!

He knew the Suns' strategy and style of play.

Lin Zhan is a bait, waiting for the Spurs to bite the bait!

In fact, this level of tactics, Popovich should have seen it from the very beginning. In front of the Spurs.

This is a blatant conspiracy!

The so-called Yangmou means that you know exactly what I want to do, and you also know what I want to do, but you can't do anything about it.

Simply put, Lin Zhan is standing there, even if he tells you that I don't touch the ball, I don't shoot.

Will the Spurs dare to let him go?

Even, do the Spurs dare to use only one man to defend him and shift their defensive attention to other places?

Popovich just thought about it for a while, and he confirmed his thoughts.

He dare not.

He was indeed scared of being beaten by Lin Zhan!

Popovich bit his lip tightly, once again he fell into a somewhat overwhelmed situation.

He found that all his tactical systems, all his contingencies, and all his basketball knowledge were not enough to deal with the current situation.

He felt so helpless and alone!

He found that although he had a complete coaching staff and more than a dozen players who had fought side by side for many years, he still felt alone and helpless.

The last time he felt this way in the playoffs was against the OK combination at his peak.

But those are two people!

Or add this Phil Jackson guy!

But now the sun, the only one who can make him feel overwhelmed and helpless is Lin Zhan!

Popovich was a little dazed looking at the growing point difference and the players with less and less resistance on the court. He felt that there was only one way to change this situation.

Let Lin Zhan no way to continue to appear in this round of the series, perhaps the only thing left for the Spurs, it is possible to win. .
