At this time, Vassell instinctively wanted to pass the ball back to Chang Tiancheng, but saw Chang Tiancheng wave his hand and signal him not to pass the ball over, which made Vassell look a little overwhelmed for a while. So, he had to call Sohan to do a high block for himself first.

Faced with this situation, Capela still adopted a defensive strategy of holding his troops on the inside. After weaving around Sochan's cover, Vassell chose to pass the ball to Sochan, and after Sohan received the ball, he found that there was no one to defend in front of him, so he was about to make a three-point shot, but found that Chang Tiancheng had run from about forty-five degrees on the left side, and of course, he was followed by Murray who was chasing after him.

Seeing this, Sohan handed the ball to Chang Tiancheng, and then immediately made a covering posture to help Chang Tiancheng block Murray.

After Murray bumped into Sohan, his figure only paused slightly, then gritted his teeth and continued to chase in the direction of Chang Tiancheng.

But this pause was completely enough for Chang Tiancheng, and after he received the ball, he immediately took a knife outside the three-point line to help the team add another three points.

At 42:48, when the Hawks were about to catch up with the score, they were once again poured cold water by Chang Tiancheng with a three-point shot.

However, Murray's mentality is much calmer than before, he knows that his defense has done his best, like Chang Tiancheng's kind of ball just now, normally he can't defend at all.

Murray dribbled slowly to the frontcourt, and the Hawks' tactics at this time focused on a slow pace, using his body and feet to fight opponents on the defensive end, and pursuing positional battles on the offensive end. It was a stark contrast to their stormy offense in the second quarter.

Just when Murray was about to lower his focus to seek a breakthrough, he found that it was the Spurs' starting center Jeremy Sochan who was responsible for defending him at this time, and Chang Tiancheng, who was supposed to be responsible for defending him, actually ran to the inside to defend Capela.

Murray didn't know why the Spurs chose such a defensive strategy, but when he saw Capela, who was a full 20 centimeters taller than Chang Tiancheng, asking for the ball inside, he decisively passed the ball over.

After Capela received the ball, he first looked back at Chang Tiancheng's position, sneered, and then began to play Chang Tiancheng with his back to the single.

But what surprised Capela was that with his weight and strength, the back-to-back singles just now didn't move Chang Tiancheng.

Capela didn't give up, and after a back-to-back dribble, he cut directly to the side, directly pushed Chang Tiancheng with his shoulder, and then scored the ball with a small throw.

Just as Capela was about to celebrate, the referee's whistle blew.

Hawks Capela, offensive foul.

After hearing the referee's decision, Capela was immediately dissatisfied and immediately stepped forward to reason with the referee, but the referee didn't even want to say a word to him, and directly gave the ball to the Spurs.

The referee's attitude made Capela very angry, and he wanted to continue to chase and reason with the referee, but was pulled back directly by Murray. Murray patted Capela's body and said, "Brother, don't fight for this ball anymore, Chang Tiancheng must have been premeditated, he used fake falls to deliberately trick you into fouling, and then you go to tell the referee, it's easy to be blown T!"

Chang Tiancheng moved to the Hawks' half with the ball, Murray was still as before, and he was close to him as soon as he received the ball, although Chang Tiancheng did not have no way to take this situation, but I have to admit that Murray's defense still made Chang Tiancheng feel a little uncomfortable.

When a former All-Defensive Team player is keeping an eye on you, it's hard to hold the ball as you want.

So Chang Tiancheng repeated his old trick and passed the ball to Vassell on the right first, but this time, after passing the ball out, he immediately used gestures to direct Keldon to the outside.

Keldon understood and came from inside to outside the three-point line. After receiving a pass from Vassell, Keldon faced Collins, who was in charge of defending him, and first made a triple threat, and found that Collins didn't seem to be very focused, so he jumped directly over him to the basket.

At this time, Collins reacted and wanted to catch up and defend, but it was too late, Keldon had already come to the basket, looking at Capella who was in charge of defending him in front of him, Keldon was in a heart, and chose to continue to accelerate and jump, and then faced Capela to complete a

dunk again! This dunk turned the score on the court into 42:50, and the difference between the two teams began to be widened again.

was blocked twice in a game, which made Capela, who is the pillar of the Hawks' interior defense, suddenly feel a little hot on his face, and the audience at the scene also began to have some discussions at this time, which intensified Capela's inner sensitivity.

Murray saw Capela's inner thoughts, so he walked up to Capela again and said to him: "Brother, it's okay, I'll pass the ball to you in the next round, you just go and fight back."

Capela glanced at Murray and nodded.

Popovich on the court saw this scene and was full of emotion in his heart: "I really didn't expect that Dejounte would give Trae Young a hand after he went to the Hawks, but now it seems that his leadership skills have improved a little." After

Murray dribbled the ball through halftime, it was found that the Spurs were still sending Sochan to defend him, while Chang Tiancheng continued to defend the tall Capela on the inside.

Murray quickly sent the ball to Capela with a lobble pass. After Capela received the ball, considering that he didn't push Chang Tiancheng last time, this time he chose to look back first, judge the distance between himself and the basket, and then attack.

But just when he hesitated, Chang Tiancheng was quick and stretched out his hand to shoot the basketball from Capela's hand, Vassell saw this, and immediately controlled the ball, and the other players of the Spurs saw this scene and began to quickly rush to the frontcourt.

Vassell threw the ball straight to the frontcourt, and eventually, Sochan, who was closest to the Hawks' basket, received the pass and jumped straight to complete a two-handed dunk.

At 42:52, Trae Young on the bench looked at the scoreboard hanging from the ceiling and couldn't sit still. He led the team to chase the difference between the two teams to 5 points in the second quarter, and now he is 10 points behind in the blink of an eye, which makes him feel a little unacceptable.

Coach Sneijder, who was sitting on the sidelines, naturally noticed Trae Young's look, so he got up and walked to the referee's bench and asked the referee for a timeout.
