On April 29, the third game of the series between the Spurs and the Suns, and possibly the last game of the round, will be played at the West's Arena, home of the Suns. In order to make a breakthrough this season, the Suns not only traded Anfernee Hardaway to assist Jason Kidd, but also persuaded Kevin Johnson, the greatest scoring guard in team history, who had been retired for two years, to come back, but the Suns will repeat the same mistakes this season.

The Suns have been pushed to the brink of a cliff after losing their first two consecutive road games to the Spurs, but the team has not lost confidence, at least the team's current leader, Hardaway, has not been discouraged when interviewed by reporters. And Jason Kidd has also decided to return in this game.

Although the Suns lost to the Spurs in two consecutive games, it was when the team's boss Jason Kidd was unable to play, and after Jason Kidd confirmed his return, the Suns were not without a chance.

The Suns' starting lineup in this game has also made a lot of adjustments, Kidd who came back from the fire line replaced Randy Livingston as the main controller of this game, Kevin Johnson started this game in the position of scoring guard, and Anfernee Hardaway returned to his familiar small forward position, after Kidd's return, Hardaway basically no longer controls the ball, as long as he concentrates on scoring, the Suns' two interior players are Cliff De Robinson and Sean Marion, The team's only big center, Luke Longley, was put on the bench, and judging from this starting lineup, the Suns still wanted to speed up this game and played with determination, and several players on the court were all players with excellent mobility and good shooting.

Popovich did not adjust the Spurs' starting lineup in this game, judging from the previous two games, the Spurs' current lineup and tactics are extremely restrained to a team like the Suns.

After the start of this game, the Suns unexpectedly succeeded in jumping the ball, and Cliff De Robinson, who replaced Luke Longley as the team's starting center in this game, actually beat David Robinson to get the first offensive opportunity for the Suns. Maybe this is a good sign, after Cliff De Robinson's jump ball was successful, it also led to a burst of cheers from the Suns fans in the audience, you must know that since Luke Longley came to the Suns, in the face of the Spurs, whether it is David Robinson or Tim Duncan, he has not been able to jump the ball successfully, and Cliff De Robinson, who is nearly ten centimeters taller than Luke Longley, has successfully jumped the ball, which has to be surprising.

After the jump ball failed, David Robinson quickly retreated with a red face, and Jason Kidd slowly dribbled near the halfway line, looking for opportunities while also adjusting his state to adapt to the rhythm of the game as soon as possible. Originally, according to the comeback date set by the doctor, Jason Kidd should not be able to return until after the 10th of next month, but seeing that the Suns were about to be swept by the Spurs, Kidd was anxious and decided to return early despite the dissuasion of the team doctor.

In the first round of attack, Kidd showed a very cautious performance, and after erasing Johnson, Kidd did not rush directly to the interior as usual, but passed the ball to Hardaway on the weak side. Since the beginning of this season, the Spurs' defensive system has become perfect, David Robinson and Tim Duncan sit under the basket, Meng Xu defends the three-point line to the area below the free throw line, the three have a clear division of labor, and assist each other, it can be said that all breakthrough teams in the league will be deflated in the face of the Spurs, there are David Robinson and Tim Duncan two long people sitting under the basket, even if they break through Meng Xu's defense, they will be exposed by the two, David Robinson averaged 3 blocks per game this season after the injury in the 95 season, The average number of blocks per game in the first season returned to 3+, and Tim Duncan's average of 3.2 blocks per game this season is also the first time in his career that he has broken 3 blocks, and a team has two players who are in the top five in the league in blocks per game, which is very scary to think about.

After Hardaway held the ball, he faced Meng Xu, who was stubbornly pestering him, without the slightest pause, and quickly passed the ball to Marion who pulled out from the inside, and Marion chose to dribble horizontally after receiving the ball, wanting to get rid of Duncan who defended him first.

"Sean, be careful." After Marion heard Kidd's voice, he suddenly chuckled mentally, at this moment, the basketball that was slapped by Marion did not return to his hands, and at some point Meng Xu appeared behind Marion, and Marion, whose attention was all on Duncan, was easily taken away by Meng Xu.

After the steal, Meng Xu was hot-headed, forgot Popovich's advice, and after throwing off Kidd with the basketball, he rushed directly towards the Suns' half.

As a fan of Jordan, anyone who jumps from the free throw line is familiar with it, the previous Meng Xu was unable to complete this difficult dunk because of the limitation of physical fitness, after learning Mike Burr's S-level skills, Meng Xu's bounce and stagnation have been greatly improved, yesterday in the system space, Meng Xu specially practiced five hours of free throw line jumping dunk, although the number of failures is the majority, but Meng Xu still wants to try it in a certain game.

After Meng Xu rushed through the middle line, he began to accelerate continuously, the rapidly regressing figure in his field of vision, and the whirring wind in his ears, all of which made Meng Xu fall into a kind of madness that he couldn't extricate himself from.

"What is this guy doing?" When I saw Meng Xu jump up half a foot from the free throw line, not only the players on the court, but even the spectators on the sidelines were shocked, free throw line dunks are basically rarely able to appear in real games due to his ornamental and super high difficulty, countless players have tried this kind of difficult dunk in the game, but few people have really succeeded.

"Almost, almost." When Meng Xu reached the highest point of the jump, his chin had exceeded the height of the basket, Meng Xu grabbed the basketball with one hand and straightened his arm, visually measuring the distance in front of him, if he was at the scene, he could see that Meng Xu obviously had a pause in the air.

With a loud bang, Meng Xu began to fall from the air, relying on the distance of the slide, Meng Xu successfully dunked the basketball into the basket.

"Ahhh

"Free throw line dunks, I'm finally able to complete free throw line dunks."

"Boy, you're too hanging." Avery Johnson, who was behind Meng Xu, quickly rushed up and hugged Meng Xu, shouting incessantly.

"Meng, remember what I said to you." When Meng Xu, who was flushed, passed by the bench, he saw that Popovich was viciously pushing himself, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, and immediately regained his composure.

After retreating to half court, Duncan also rushed over, touching Meng Xu's head while talking about the dunk just now.

"Tim, how many times have you said don't touch my head." Meng Xu grinned, thinking to himself, I don't want to become bald.

"Hahaha." Looking at Meng Xu's funny appearance and Duncan's hand stretched out in the air, with an embarrassed face, David Robinson smiled very happily.
