The first time he stepped into the ATT Center, Sun Xiaotian was very excited. Looking at the packed stadium, Sun Xiaotian really felt how much the fans in the small city of San Antonio love their team.

The Bulls' starting lineup remains unchanged, while the Spurs' lineup is: Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan and Split.

The Spurs are currently 24-3 and temporarily in first place in the West, and the team is still as stable as ever. What's even more incredible is that so far, the Spurs have averaged 103.3 points per game and conceded 93 points per game, while the Spurs have outscored their opponents by 10.3 points. It ranks second among all teams in the league, behind only the Miami Heat.

The Spurs' offensive and defensive balance is due to Popovich's tuning on the one hand, and the schedule on the other.

The first two months have been an unusually easy schedule for the Spurs. Of the total 27 games, 18 were played at home, and only two were back-to-back. The easy schedule is a blessing from heaven for this group of old people.

Popovich has always been pragmatic, and there is no reason why he should not win such a schedule. The Spurs have lost just one of their 18 home games and they have won the games they deserve. And it would also guarantee that the Spurs would be on track to win 35 games before the All-Star break.

In addition to coaching and scheduling reasons, Popovich's rotation policy also played an important role.

As the rock of the team, Duncan is 36 years old, and it is no longer realistic to play more than 30 minutes per game. Therefore, since the beginning of the 2010-2011 season, Popovich began to cut Duncan's playing time, coupled with Duncan's self-discipline, it is surprising that Duncan's efficiency in these three seasons has been higher than season one, especially this season.

So far, Duncan has averaged 18.1 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game, and his average efficiency value has reached 24.7, ranking the highest on the team.

As the current Spurs' tactical core Parker, this season has been very difficult for him, and a foot injury has become an obstacle in his way. But despite this, Parker is also averaging 21.2 points and 7.6 assists per game. And it was his excellent play on the offensive end that allowed the Spurs to play against a team led by excellent point guards without falling behind at all.

As the worst state of GDP, it is Ginobili. As he gets older, Manu no longer has the state of blocking and killing Buddha in the finals against the Pistons that year.

Manu's form has been up and down so far this season. So far, Manu has averaged only 10.1 points per game and shot a career-low 41.1% from the field.

But, despite this, Popovich's trust in him remains the same. Often in the most critical moments of the game, Manu remains one of the first things that comes to Popovich's mind. Although Manu is less brave when he was younger, he has more old demon game reading power

In addition to veterans such as GDP in the Spurs, the Spurs have rarely injected fresh blood into the team in recent years, led by Leonard.

Popovich used his favorite player, George. When Hill exchanged for Leonard, who was selected by the Pacers No. 15 pick, many people scolded Bo Shuai for whether he was brain-dead, and there were many people who scolded him, and finally Bo Shuai began to doubt his judgment.

But in the next rookie season, Leonard's calm play made many people forget that he was just a rookie. And his personality is surprisingly integrated with the entire Spurs team, coupled with the teachings of the three predecessors of GDP, it can be said that he is basically the happiest partner next to the superstar.

Not only that, but Leonard had terrifying hands, and when fully open, the distance from the tip of the little finger to the tip of the thumb was 11.5 inches (0.2921 meters). This is reminiscent of Dr. J, who also has a big hand, in addition, Leonard's long arm helped him grab a lot of rebounds, and the defense also put some pressure on the opponent, and the effect will be very obvious when defending James and others.

If nothing else, in this game, Sun Xiaotian and his entanglement will be very frequent-

After the introduction of the players, the players of both sides officially entered the field. Sun Xiaotian greeted all his teammates on the Spurs, after all, Sun Xiaotian is now famous. If you put it in the past, it is estimated that you will not look at him more when you walk on the road.

Noah and Split jumped the ball, and there was no doubt that Noah took the lead in getting the first wave of offensive possession for the Bulls.

Looking at how the two sides attack and defend the first round, you can see what the key to victory is for both sides!

Hinrich dribbled past half court, and according to the previous tactical arrangement, at this time Noah or Boozer would be raised, and Sun Xiaotian or Ruhr Deng would come out to catch the ball and play with them. By then Hinrich and Jimmy. Butler will draw attention from the perimeter or on the outside.

However, what people didn't expect was that just after Hinrich dribbled at halftime, Noah and Boozer were about to play inside the Spurs.

Hinrich was also decisive, handing the ball to Ruhrdeng, who turned his hand and lobbed it to Boozer.

Boozer leaned his back against Duncan, he first used his strength to push Duncan into two steps, and then Boozer turned his back and added a layup feint with a smooth baseline baseline, although Duncan did not shake, at that time, with enough strength, Boozer still scored the ball.

Thibodeau's change of tactics is honestly correct, everyone knows that the Heat are the best team at blocking and pick-and-roll, but the Spurs can be called one of the best teams at blocking and pick-and-roll. Bo Shuai's understanding of blocking and dismantling tactics, I am afraid that few in the league can match him. Therefore, in terms of defensive blocking, the Spurs are also handy.

The Bulls avoided what the Spurs were good at, and the method of attacking inside was also Thibodeau's decision when he saw that the Spurs' interior line was weaker than his own.

With Duncan on the decline in physical confrontation, the Split technique is still frizzy. So, Thibodeau's tactics were very sensible.

However, looking back, the Spurs' first wave of tactical arrangements really surprised Thibodeau.

Parker dribbled to the frontcourt, but Duncan didn't come out to cover for him, and he actually played up the position with Boozer on the inside.

Parker landed a shot and gave the ball to Duncan. Instead of opting for a back, Duncan opted for a frontal single.

Duncan held the ball in both hands and made a virtual flick to the baseline to test Boozer. Seeing that Boozer did not react, Duncan made a decisive move.

The ball follows a familiar trajectory, hitting the board and into the net

This is Duncan's stunt, once upon a time, Duncan was proud of the entire league with his 45-degree playing stunt, and I don't know how many players who were in the position of him could only silently look at the ball and sigh

Bo Shuai is Bo Shuai, don't you think this is my shortcoming? I'll show you. Not only that, but I'll double it back to you.

What is the philosophy of spurs, this is the philosophy of spurs!
