After a rare three-day game break, the Spurs were well rested and today they will be at home to take on the challenge of the other teams.

The first team to arrive is the Jazz, and this is the second meeting between the two teams this season.

The Spurs started with the interior combination of Gasol and Ade, small forward Leonard, point guard Raywater, and point guard Parker.

The Jazz starts, center Gobert, power forward Fevers, small forward Hood, point guard Johnson, and point guard Hill.

At the beginning of the game, Gasol fought for the ball and scored 2 points for the Spurs first, at this time the Jazz didn't seem to have entered the game, and a random attack missed, Leonard won the rebound, dribbled directly and went down, and a pull-up jump shot was another 2 points.

Turning around, the Jazz began to play inside, the ball to Fayves, who has outstanding physical fitness, good agility and confrontation, and a certain mid-range ability.

After this ball, Ade wanted to respond, but it was not easy to play with Fepves, and after a strong confrontation, he missed, the Jazz won the rebound, and Faffers blocked and dismantled for Hill, causing the Spurs to lose their defensive position, and Hill hit a three-point shot.

Since then, the Jazz's three-point shot has opened, Johnson and Hood hit three-pointers one after another, and the Spurs don't know if it's because of the break or what, the defense is always leaking, a little forward-looking, the front is concentrated too much defense, always leaking near the bottom corner, Hill can always send assists, and Gobert, the interior long, relies on his long arm span to completely suppress Gasol on defense, and several times dials offensive rebounds to teammates.

And today the Jazz obviously prepared for Thunder Water, on the defense Johnson only defended one side, the other side was specially made up, the ball came out, except for Leonard who could score, the other people felt very poor, especially Ade, who had a good hand in the last game, because Feves always kept his body against him, he consumed a lot of physical strength on the defensive end, resulting in a decline in shooting touch.

Just as the Spurs were trying to attack one by one, the Jazz relied on their excellent outside touch and scored 21 points in the first quarter, leading the Spurs by 8 points.

Both offensive and defensive ends were suppressed to the death, and the old man Bobo was very dissatisfied with this, and since the cooperation on the offensive end could not be played, he began to signal for singles.

First of all, Thunder Water singles, due to the awkwardness of the first half of the game, Thunder Water's state is not too good, two back hits Johnson failed to hit, can only be replaced by Leonard to play, Leonard back to Hood scored 4 points in a row, accidentally fell into the Jazz's small trap, ate an offensive foul, Leonard was blown 2 fouls in the first quarter, this is not good news for Leonard, let alone good news for the team, Bobo old man used Simmons to replace Leonard for insurance, The Spurs, who are currently the most consistent scorers, are once again in an offensive dilemma.

The Jazz unceremoniously seized this opportunity to combine inside and outside, expanding the difference to 12 points, and also forced the old man Bobo to replace the bench in advance to see if there were any new opportunities.

Coming off the bench, I hoped to change, but I didn't expect that this state would also be contagious, the Spurs' bench was still cold, and they couldn't even shoot in the big vacancy, while the Jazz's bench was just the opposite, Marvin and Lyles were outside and inside, and the two teamed up to play a wave of 9-2 climax, and the Jazz led by 16 points at 38-22 and ended the first quarter.

In the first quarter, the Spurs lagged behind the Jazz in all statistics, allowing the Jazz to shoot 7-of-8 three-pointers and shoot more than 70% overall, while the Spurs were comprehensively suppressed by the Jazz in assists and rebounds.

Old man Bobo was still in a manic state when he fell behind at the beginning of the first quarter, and slowly fell behind a lot, but he calmed down, and he didn't watch the game, and turned around to chat with the assistant coach, Lei Shui thought they were talking about tactics, but when he listened to it, he was not talking about the game, but about what he ate at night, which made Lei Shui unable to figure out what the old man Bobo was thinking, and he was still talking about eating at this time.

During the intermission, Old Man Bobo explained the tactics without hurry, and encouraged: "Take your time, stabilize the rhythm, don't be too anxious, this will be a very long game, at this time, you have to let the ball run, find an open opportunity to shoot, defensively, I need you to limit their inside line from the inside out..."

At the beginning of the second quarter, as soon as the substitute came on the court, Old Man Bobo came over and said to Lei Shui: "Take a good look at the position on the court, if it is difficult to defend in any position, I will hand him over to you." ”

Although the offense didn't feel good today, the defense was motivated, Lei Shui nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

On the court, for the two major scorers of the Jazz bench, the Spurs decided to attack Lyles first, Lee relied on his years of experience and began to interfere with Lyles with various physical contact methods, after all, Jiang is still old and spicy, under Lee's interference, Lyles attacked twice in a row in vain, and the third time even came to a three-point in order to avoid physical contact with Lee, and naturally failed to hit.

Lyles was limited by Lee, Mark took over the scoring task, and the backup point guard at this time was Mills, Mark had an absolute physical advantage in the opposite position with Mills, scoring 4 points on 2-of-3 shooting.

At this time, the old man Bobo said to Lei Shui: "You go to replace Mills, and the defense of the point guard position will be handed over to you." ”

Thunderwater has long seen the disadvantage of this off the court, and Mills can't play offense now, so his height must be a defensive hole on the court.

After Lei Shui replaced Mills, Marven did not give up the offense because of the change of defenders, and forced Lei Shui to throw, and was fanned out by Lei Shui's big hat, and then Marven was defended by Lei Shui at all.

The Jazz's bench was limited to these two scorers, and they didn't score for several rounds in a row, and although the Spurs' defense improved, the offense still failed to open up, and they could only score piecemeal.

The Jazz began to let the main force come back one after another, and the Spurs also changed back to the main force, the main force was relative, and it was a defensive battle again, halfway through the second quarter, the Spurs scored 12 points, and the Jazz scored 8 points.

In the case that the offense can't be opened, you can only rely on defense to see who can limit whose score lower.

Thunder Water played the role of a big patch in the second quarter, sparing no effort to go to all kinds of defense, supplemental defense, although the offense did not play a few, but the defensive data is a lot brighter, the entire second quarter, the Spurs let the Jazz only score 12 points, and the Spurs scored 19 points slightly better.

Lei Shui's data is very smooth, 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 blocks, which is still a bit unsatisfactory compared to the previous games.
