Chapter 118: Just a little bit
Teammates in the locker room did not blame Chen Shu, because everyone knows that as a player, everyone will have such a time, as strong as Kobe, and there are not a few crazy iron games, but this cannot affect his status in the NBA. Chen Shu has proven himself in many games and can make a positive impact on the team at both ends of the pitch.
The second half continued, Telfil provoked the backbone of the organization, and in the first half, Telfil performed well and was extremely efficient, but this was based on his own hot hand, and it was also against the Spurs' bench lineup.
At the beginning of the second half, Parker gave the Suns a dismount with a mixed lineup of starters and substitutes, and Parker also showed his desire to attack, easily rushed up with the help of cover, entered the interior, and faced Dudley, who quickly assisted the defense, without stopping a stop-and-go shot, and scored 2 points.
At 45:59, the score continued to widen.
Offensive and defensive transitions, Telfil breaks through quickly, Parker is unstoppable, Telfil is a master who does not admit defeat, although he has been suppressed by Chen Shu, but he has never admitted it. In his opinion, Chen Shu's poor state this time, coupled with his hot hand in this game, is an opportunity for him to turn the tables against the wind.
At this time, against Parker, this is a heavyweight opponent, Telfil is not afraid, after accelerating the breakthrough, ignoring Parker, who is also on his side, he slipped into the penalty area, and jumped high in 3 big steps.
This kind of ignorance made Parker very unhappy, and he obviously hadn't completely gotten rid of himself, so he made a layup in front of him. Before he could think about it, Parker jumped up and slapped him in the face, wanting to give Telfil a big hat. But apparently that's not what Parker is good at.
Although Telfil is sometimes impulsive, it doesn't mean that he is not capable, and when he noticed Parker's block, Telfil made a small lever in the air, dodged Parker's arm, and threw the basketball out, at this time Parker's hand hit Terfair's arm hard.
With the referee's whistle, the basketball fell into the basket and hollowed into the net!
2+1!
I have to say how to cast Delfil today, and he himself is obviously excited about this 2+1, between which he glared angrily, looked around, his neck was exposed, his right hand was clenched into a fist in his chest, and he roared loudly towards the sky.
At this time, everyone on the bench who had been suppressed also stood up excitedly, waving everything in their hands, including Chen Shu, although he did not perform well in this game, but this kind of morale-growing ball is also what he wants to see, and it is equally important for the team to win!
Next, Telfilga hit a free throw.
48:59。
"Beep!" When the referee blew the whistle, it turned out to be Popovich who called a timeout, and everyone in the Suns was surprised, but everyone in the Spurs looked indifferent.
The Suns were surprised because it was just a 2+1, and the advantage on the court was still on the Spurs' side, and this timeout was completely unnecessary in their opinion.
But Popovich's coaching style is like this, and everything he does is so unexpected that it may be that Popovich wants to completely shatter the Suns' hopes of chasing points, and not let go of any threat that could become a turning point in the game.
Just after this timeout, the Spurs' defense of Telfil on the court was significantly strengthened, with Danny Green in charge and Leonard at all times, exactly the same way they dealt with Chen Shu in the first half.
Obviously, the wise old coach wanted to end the game in the third quarter.
The game continued, the Spurs' offense was still fluid, Parker and Duncan echoed inside and out, Green and Leonard, running, 3-pointers, and air cuts were also the best choices. The timeout came back and hit the Suns with an 8:2.
The score came to 50:67.
At this time, Telfil was also very helpless, and in a few rounds, after a breakthrough, he encountered a bag and a passing error; An outside 3-point shot, which was interfered with by Danny Green's long arm, and the basketball popped out of the frame; Another time, Leonard, who was helped to defend him, came to a big hat with a stud in his hand.
The only two points he scored were Gortat grabbing a rebound and hitting a rebound.
When the score difference came to 17 points, Gentry glanced at Chen Shu next to him, hesitated for a moment and did not call a timeout, he had nothing to do now, he could see that Chen Shu's state had not improved now, and he did not see the fighting spirit of the previous games.
It is said that Chen Shu didn't notice the coach's gaze at this time, because he was still immersed in his own world, thinking hard about the feeling when he had a skill bonus, just like the first goal of the opening game. But he couldn't do it and since the first goal he didn't feel like he had a goal.
While everyone on the Suns court was struggling on the offensive end, the Spurs were unforgiving, and the offensive wave after wave came.
More than halfway through the third quarter, the score came to 56:80, and the margin widened to 24 points. At this time, Chen Shu, who came back from his thoughts, looked at the head coach, and meant, let's return it. But Gentry shook his head, he knew that even if Chen Shu found his form now, he would still be powerless in the face of such a point difference.
Gentry simply replaced all his main players and came off the bench to play the game, and it was clear that he had decided to give up the game. The opponent is too strong, and these young people who can be counted on under his hands are not the opponents of this group of old guns. In the past, Chen Shu was definitely unwilling to admit defeat so early, but now not only is the system not there, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and it was at this time that his state was still extremely poor, and Chen Shu suspected that it was very likely that it was caused by the lack of system and physical discomfort all of a sudden.
Popovich saw that the Suns had given up the game, and the old man grinned a little wickedly, and it was clear that the team had accomplished the goal set for the day: to settle the battle in three quarters. This group of old Spurs guys bought themselves a break in the fourth quarter.
。。。
After that, there was no wave, garbage time, the audience at the Spurs scene muttered and left the stadium, because not only the game was not exciting, but the stadium was still sticky and humid, it seems that the air conditioning and fresh air system of the Spurs' old stadium should really be repaired.
At the end of the game, the score was 76:94, and the score of 76 points was also a new low since Chen Shu joined the Suns. Chen Shu also created many career lows, such as a new low in scoring, a new low in shooting, a new low in shooting percentage, and a new low in 3-point shooting percentage this season... It can be said that this is the worst game Chen Shu has played since joining the NBA.
The rest of the Suns can be said to have played okay, with Gortat scoring the most with 18 points and 12 rebounds, followed by Telfil with 16 points and 5 assists, Morris with 12 points and 8 rebounds, Brown with 8 points, Dudley with 6 points, Varick with 5 points, and Frye with 4 points.
The Spurs' main team played well, and it can be said that the whole game was in their rhythm, Parker scored a game-high 26 points and 4 assists, and Duncan had 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. The most comprehensive performances were Green and Leonard, who scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block respectively, and 11 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
After the game, the coaches of the two teams shook hands and hugged each other. "Congratulations on your victory!" Gentry arrived decently.
"Well, buddy, you're doing well, just a little bit!" The old rascal Popovich teased Gentry.
“F*。。。 Then look forward to our next encounter! "Gentry wants to scold people angrily, it's just a little bit worse, and he sells well when he gets cheap. Fortunately, I braked suddenly, and I didn't say the words that started with F.
The same scene also happened between the players, when Chen Shuyu shook hands with Duncan, the old man said to Chen Shu with a smile that could give T:
"Hey, Chen, don't be unhappy, you don't have a watch for a game, we all know your strength, during the day today, Bobo can always instill in us how to defend you, haha."
“。。。 You guys are amazing, but this time it was an accident, and I'm really looking forward to our next encounter! Chen Shu looked at Duncan's cheap appearance and really wanted to punch this guy.
Just as Chen Shu turned around to leave, Duncan said "Hey, Chen, the future is yours, hehe!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Shu stumbled, didn't look back, scolded this old rascal in his heart, and hurriedly left, he didn't want to stay in San Antonio for a minute now.
