At half past seven, the two sides announced their starting lineups.

Spurs: Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Bowen, Stephen Jackson, Tony Parker

Sonics: Ben Wallace, Coatt Thomas, Mike Miller, Korimaghetti, Zhou Quan

"Bowen is still the starter, strange, Spurs are the No. 3 position and no one is available?" Yu Jia asked suspiciously.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Don't say it, they really don't have anyone available in the third position, they don't need Bowen, they can only use the quarterback to play."

The Spurs have two quarterbacks who are more than two meters tall, and in addition to Stephen Jackson, there is also a backup quarterback who is also 201 centimeters. ”

Jump ball, Spurs attack.

Duncan moved straight to the basket, Big Ben immediately stepped up, the former took a step in, and then turned around and stuck in position, two meters to the front left of the basket.

Meanwhile, David Robinson stopped high and asked the ball carrier for the ball.

"Oh, Tim Duncan is going to play Ben Wallace in the box and start the game very strongly." Barkley shouted excitedly as soon as he saw it.

Stephen Jackson, who was responsible for holding the ball, got close to the top of the arc and immediately hoisted the ball from Cory Magetti's head to David Robinson.

On the right wing, Zhou Quan put Tony Parker two meters, but he didn't dare to go over to help defend because as long as he lost Tony Parker, David Robinson would definitely pass the ball to Parker.

The next moment, David Robinson passed the ball to Duncan across Coatt Thomas.

Duncan didn't make any feints after receiving the ball, because Cote Thomas had already turned around and would be in front of him in one step, and there was no time to make feints at all, so he immediately turned sideways after receiving the ball, with his right elbow against Ben, jumped with his feet, and hit the board with a small hook on his side.

"Bang!"

The basketball hits the rebound and then falls into the basket.

"Duncan's movements are so neat that they don't give people a chance to trap him. And it's a left-handed shot, no different from the right-handed. Zhang Li exclaimed.

Popovich kept clapping, and as long as the SuperSonics didn't trap Duncan off the ball, Duncan could blow Ben Wallace one-on-one under the basket without any problems.

And if the Supersonic no-ball trap Duncan, most likely the nearest Cott Thomas wrap, then David Robinson can play a role.

He believes that as long as the Twin Towers play an absolute advantage on the inside, and the Iron Fist King scores more points on the outside, the Spurs will have a chance to win.

2:0, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan holds the ball close to the top of the arc, and Tony Parker defends him.

He is not in a hurry to attack, but reads the Spurs' defensive tactics first.

Cotter Thomas still pulled to the right blocking area, and David Robinson took a step outside the right midfield, adjusting the position from time to time, just between him and Thomas, seemingly deliberately, with the intention of cutting off the angle of his and Thomas's straight pass.

Duncan, on the left side, follows Big Ben in and out of the penalty area from time to time.

Bowen and Stephen Jackson were in the left and right elbow areas, two metres away from their respective defenders.

Obviously, today's Spurs are not playing man-to-man defense, but joint defense, three-two joint defense, two defenders in the low post, three in the high post, and the main defense breaks through on the outside.

He tentatively approached the top of the arc, and sure enough, not only did Parker immediately defend closely, but Stephen Jackson in the right elbow area also immediately pounced.

Stephen Jackson is also very particular about his position, sitting between him and Corimagetti, not allowing him to make straight passes, and if he lobs the ball, he will have time to return to the defence.

Cory Magetti was not a dead man, reacted quickly, and saw Stephen Jackson go to the Iron Fist Champion and immediately realized that his chance had come.

He is good at breaking through the dunk, shooting poorly, and has no opportunities to attack with the ball and the ball, so the off-ball inside cut tactic is his main tactic, he is very familiar with it, and his ability to grasp the cutting opportunity is good.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Quan passed the ball straight through the gap before Stephen Jackson's bag arrived, and it reached Cory Magetti accurately.

Margeti took a step outside the right midfield, and David Robinson below had already moved to his side, and he dribbled forward to face Duncan, who came to cover the defense, and made a pull-up jump shot from the right midfield.

"Smack!"

Duncan jumped for a block, but no hat came as David Robinson stepped up from behind to give Cory Maggetty a shot the lead.

"Ouch, this ball doesn't come by itself, fake a real pass, just pass it to Big Ben after attracting the bag, Big Ben is empty under the basket." Zhang Li sighed regretfully.

Duncan grabbed the ball and saw that Tony Parker outside the arc had turned around and quickly threw the ball over.

The direction of his pass is particular, passing to Parker's right side, because the Iron Fist King is on Parker's left side, so as not to be broken.

Zhou Quan followed Tony Parker to the left side of the defense, Parker is known as the French sports car, the speed is very fast, he can't overtake it for a while.

But when Parker received the ball, although he didn't have a chance to break the ball, he immediately implemented a physical confrontation and deliberately made a physical contact.

At the moment of receiving the ball, the two took a slight hit, and the 84-kilogram Parker's feet couldn't help but crooked, and the ball smashed on his wrist and bounced off.

"Lost the ball!" Yu Jia shouted.

Parker didn't expect it, and rushed forward and passed.

And Zhou Quan was prepared, slowed down in time, and then rushed over two steps to grab the ball in his hand before Parker.

"Foul! That's a foul move! Popovich was so angry that he couldn't stop jumping and yelling.

But no one pays attention to him, both Tekken and Parker are on the move, and they do not form the so-called cylinder, physical contact is a normal confrontation, who makes you inferior to a human in confrontation?

Switching offense and defense, Zhou Quan got close to the top of the arc again, passed the ball to Mike Miller, picked it back, and then said to Tony Parker, who was leaning down and waiting: "Tony, I'll be here in three seconds, right here." ”

As he spoke, he also pointed to the position at his feet and added with a smile, "Now the countdown begins." Three ......"

"What?"

Parker's mouth opened wide.

"Oh roar!"

"Haha......"

Whether it was the fans or the media reporters, including the supersonic bench, the people who heard it screamed excitedly.

Only the Spurs, the people who heard it, whether it was the players on the court or on the bench, everyone instantly tensed their nerves, and their brains began to congest.

"Two!"

Zhou Quan's countdown was like a magic spell, allowing the Spurs' brains to continue to be congested.

"Go up and him!"

Popovich's angry roar rang out.

"One!"

At this time, Zhou Quan finished the countdown, and the next moment he stood up.

Tony Parker was also quick to react, and his nerves were tense, but when he jumped up, he found that his hand was still some distance away from the Iron Fist King's ball, only to the Iron Fist King's forearm.

Zhou Quan flicked his fingers, and the ball flew to the basket like a rainbow, and then in the sight of countless people, with a brush, he plunged into the basket and splashed a white splash.

"Oh roar!"

In the central gymnasium, more than 20,000 home fans raised their arms one after another, and the cheers broke through the sky in an instant.

Tony Parker glanced back at the basket and then at the Iron Fist King beside him, his eyes a little dazed.

Bowen glanced at Tony Parker with pity, this little sports car was going to be unlucky, maybe it would be ruined by the boss.

The Spurs serve, and Popovich calls a timeout.

"Parker, Tony Parker, why don't you take the initiative to defend and interrupt his offensive rhythm? What do you eat? ”

When Parker came down, before he could sit down, Popovich's roar followed him, spitting all over his face.

Tony Parker was silent, took the towel and wiped his face.

"Manu, you go."

Glaring at the unassuming Tony Parker, Popovich hooked his finger at Ginobili.

He said to Ginobili: "If the Iron Fist King does the hand you just now, don't fall for him, it's psychological warfare, just rush up and fuck him, interrupt his rhythm, you think he's farting with his trash talk, understand?" ”

"Understood."

Ginobili nodded hurriedly.

"Tim, keep strengthening the offense under the basket, we're going to blow them up under the basket." Popovich said to Duncan in a deep voice.

Before the SuperSonics bench, McMillan said: "Ben, Cotter, if they play the high-low twin-tower tactic again, you can try to change the defense. ”

“OK。” The two nodded.

Zhou Quan also thinks it's good, and he can really try to change his defense.

Big Ben can come out to defend, although David Robinson has a high advantage in the high position, but this is an aging admiral, under Big Ben's defense, there is no threat to stay in the high position.

And Cott Thomas's low-post defense is very tough, and he can top up Duncan, Garnett, and even Otto, and he is in opposition to Duncan, so there is no high disadvantage.

Of course, he didn't expect Coat-Thomas to defend Duncan alone, but since Big Ben couldn't defend Duncan alone, why not try to switch defenses?

Soon after, the timeout ended, 2:3, and the Spurs attacked.

Zhou Quan followed Ginobili and Stephen Jackson held the ball.

The Spurs were still the first offensive tactics, David Robinson was in the high post, Big Ben was on the bottom, Duncan was close to the basket and was held up by Cott Thomas.

"Supersonic change of guards, can it work?" Zhang asked reasonably.

"Maybe it works, anyway, Big Ben can't stop Duncan." Yu Jia said.
