Sun Xiaotian and Leonard have been entangled throughout the third quarter, and neither of them has a minute of rest.

In the entire third quarter, Sun Xiaotian scored 16 points alone. At first glance, Leonard had little effect on Sun Xiaotian's defense. In fact, if you look closely at the data table, you can see Leonard's defensive skills.

Because in the 4 or 5 minutes before Leonard defended Sun Xiaotian, Sun Xiaotian had already scored 10 points. In other words, Sun Xiaotian only scored 6 points in the remaining 7 minutes.

Although Leonard's restriction of Sun Xiaotian was successful, because the Spurs' defensive attention was more focused on Sun Xiaotianfei, the other players of the Bulls had a chance to play.

As the team's No. 1 breakup, Ruhr Deng has reached 21 points, and he hit three three-pointers alone in the third quarter. Boozer and Noah continued to press the Spurs inside, with a total of 24 points and 17 rebounds.

It was with the overall play of the Bulls in the third quarter that the Bulls narrowed the gap to 9 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Spurs were all benches except for Green. GDP all three people are resting off the field.

The Bulls fought so hard in the third quarter that the main players were exhausted. Thibodeau couldn't, and sent out a full bench that even he was a little worried about, and he even sent Marcus, who had only played in garbage time before. Teague.

Although they were all substitutes, although there were many mistakes on both sides, the game was quite intense. The substitutes on both sides went back and forth, and the score difference fluctuated around 9 points.

With more than seven minutes left in the game, Thibodeau and Popovich switched to their strongest lineups.

The Bulls' strongest is their starting lineup, and as for the Spurs, Popovich sent a big four lineup that the team will put on every difficult time, Parker, Green, Ginobili, Leonard and Duncan.

While the Bulls will have the advantage in interior height and rebounding scrambles, the Spurs will have the advantage in speed and defensive rotation.

Sun Xiaotian, who was back on the field, rubbed his palms and kept exhaling. He wanted to maintain his steady touch, especially in the third quarter

Parker dribbled the ball to avoid Hinrich's pressing, and when he reached the top of the arc, Duncan walked up in time to cover for him. With Duncan's cover, Parker easily entered the Bulls' frontal line.

As soon as Parker entered, Duncan immediately followed. At this time, Noah, who was guarding Duncan, and Ruhr Deng, who was making up for the defense, both plunged into the paint area, and the Bulls' restricted area was instantly crowded.

At this time, Kenobi on the right suddenly shook off Sun Xiaotian, and Parker immediately knocked the ball back at this time.

Ginobili, who got the ball, followed up with Leonard's cover and got into the crowd at great speed.

Noah hurriedly turned around to block Ginobili's forward route, he was just about to jump, Ginobili flipped his wrist, and the ball passed under Noah's crotch and went directly to Duncan's hands, Duncan received the ball and went directly to the layup, easily scoring two points.

Turning around, the Bulls' tactics at this time are still two-way blocking and pick-and-roll tactics.

Hinrich handed the ball to Sun Xiaotian after half-time, at which point Boozer and Noah both stepped forward. Of course, they also brought their defenders with them.

At this time, the two people who were in the two submissions, Hinrich and Ruhr Deng, ran back along the bottom line. Seeing that Lu Erdeng shook off Green, Sun Xiaotian was also quick-eyed, and handed the ball to Lu Erdeng as soon as possible. I thought that I could easily get an assist, but when Ruhr Deng made a backhand layup, I didn't know that Duncan had already retreated.

Luhr Deng just jumped up, the ball had not yet been shot, and with a "snap", Duncan slammed the ball down with a solid sturdiness.

The ball was in Parker's hands, and Parker's first thought was a fast break.

The French sports car followed behind Hinrich on the retreating side as he got to the inside of the Bulls. Xinrich is not a good stubble, he broke it as soon as possible, and he was very vicious.

However, Parker was very calm, and he took advantage of Hinrich's body to suddenly turn around with a spinning top in the middle of the journey, go directly to the basket, and then go to the basket.

"Huh!"

The ball goes into the net.

What is the Spurs' most murderous move? It's not tough defense, it's not accurate three-pointers, it's the GDP trio who do their job.

Parker and Duncan's pick-and-rolls, the two of them can do it anywhere, even in a small area. Ginobili's scalpel-like breakthrough, coupled with the unrelenting relentlessness of the critical moment. Once the three find their roles, it's only a matter of time before the Spurs win.

The problem facing the Bulls is like this now, the Spurs' GDP has taken the lead, Parker and Ginobili's breakthroughs, Duncan's strategy and the backbone presence on the defensive end, all of which have put the Bulls in trouble on both offensive and defensive ends.

Sun Xiaotian gradually showed fatigue under the defense of Ginobili, Leonard and Green. We can't ask too much of Sun Xiaotian, he's a human being, he's still just a rookie, he's facing almost a whole team of people, it's hard to continue his form.

With the tacit cooperation of the three old men in GDP, the scores of the two teams were gradually pulled apart.

On the Bulls' side, Ruhr Deng and Hinrich have no outside crosshairs, and the Spurs are even more unscrupulous in shrinking their line.

The space can't be opened, Sun Xiaotian's threatening breakthrough gradually loses its effect, whenever Sun Xiaotian breaks in, the Spurs will have 3 people to wrap him, even if it is to pay for a foul, it is not a matter of letting you have a chance to go to the basket easily.

Gradually, the scores of the two sides pulled apart.

Although there was one minute left in the game, Sun Xiaotian's 3-pointer helped the team narrow the difference between the two sides to single digits, but then Ginobili and Parker's mid-range shots completely extinguished the flames of the Bulls' counterattack.

120 to 107!

The Bulls were wiped out by the Spurs on the road.

Throughout the game, Sun Xiaotian scored 26 points on 9-of-17 shooting, while also grabbing 7 rebounds and dishing out 4 assists.

As for the Spurs, Duncan scored 9 points in the fourth quarter and completely suppressed the Bulls' interior duo. He scored 20 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks in the whole game, which was as powerful as it was back then.

Parker scored just 14 points despite his average form, but six of those points came in the final minutes of the Bulls' frantic comeback.

Ginobili continued the Spurs' offensive firepower off the bench, scoring 21 points and diching out a team-high eight assists. Lead the Spurs' bench to beat the Bulls' bench.
