The San Antonio Spurs were last season's NBA champions and have a strong and strong roster. Since Duncan entered the league, they have been the strongest echelon in the league.

Before the start of the season, David Robinson, Danny Ferry and Steve Kerr retired, Speedy Claxton signed with the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Jackson signed with the Atlanta Hawks, and Steve Smith signed with the New Orleans Hornets. However, the Spurs acquired Hidit Koglou and Ron Moser in the trade, as well as signing free agent Robert Horry (who won championships with the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers) and center Radoslav Nestrovich.

Coupled with the continued improvement of Tony Parker and Ginobili, the Spurs are actually stronger this season than they were last season.

However, the Pacers beat them on the road.

Before the game began, Suhey persuaded Rick Carlisle to adopt a two-point guard strategy. And did a good job of Reggie Miller's ideological work.

Miller has always been very supportive of Suhey's ideas, he likes Suhey very much, and has great expectations for Suhey, and he believes that only Suhey can help him realize his dream. In the face of the great temptation of the championship, he can make any sacrifice.

The first thing Suhi did when he made his debut was to entangle Ginobili, and Suhi's love for Ginobili was deep.

Ginobili's flexibility and coordination are all in full swing, his breakthroughs are very rhythmic, his projections are clever, and his passing is also imaginative.

In the past few encounters, Suhi has been a little unable to control this 'sophomore'.

Popovich instructed Ginobili to single Suhi, and Ginobili started with consecutive goals, and he even used a feint to trick Suhi to take off, and then took graceful steps, serpentine into the penalty area, and hit a left-handed throw.

However, in the process, Suhey's super-coordination talent grew by leaps and bounds, and she soon climbed to 92 points.

With the improvement of coordination talent, Suhi's strength has improved again. His super winding talent has jumped to 95% due to the improvement of his coordination talent, and Suhey's individual defense strength that he can now play has surpassed Peyton's peak, and even surpassed it by a star and a half.

Ginobili became uncomfortable, his efficiency began to slip under Susi's high-intensity winding collisions, and the Argentine's agile output began to suffer. As his efficiency declined, Popovich quickly handed over offensive reins to Duncan, the center of the interior.

Duncan's quality is undeniable, he is very efficient in single-handing O'Neal Jr. in the box, and he leads the Spurs' overall offense from the inside out.

However, as Suhi returned to the No. 1 position and formed a team with Ron Artest to conduct defensive sweeps on the perimeter, and Suhi sometimes hit the box and made decisive attacks on Duncan, the Spurs' offensive slowed down.

At the same time, the Spurs also had problems on the defensive end under Suhi's 'messing around'.

Popovich studied under Larry Brown, so their defensive veins are the same, and the core idea is 'pressing'. It's just that the Pistons led by Larry Brown are fierce and fierce in pressure, and their fists are to the flesh.

Spurs are a little more rounded. They tend to lead the ball on the outside, focusing on blocking the midline breakthrough at the top of the arc and pressing the opponent on both sides. Once the opponent has the ball in hand, the inside line quickly fills the defense, compresses the opponent's passing vision, and forces the opponent to be unable to pass the ball closely. In this way, the opponent can either make a stop-and-go shot or pass the ball across the whole court in a wide area.

The Spurs' defensive system is built on Duncan's strong protection in the box, and Bruce Bowen and Ginobili are both good at driving opponents with their feet.

This defensive idea is top-notch, with good restrictions on breakers and fixed-point shooters, and Ajan will make a big deal with this defensive strategy in the future.

Logically speaking, Suhi and the Pacers' style of play should be completely restricted. However, the results were very different.

Because Suxi took the simplest and most direct way to crack: blocking and dismantling, as well as relay assault.

Suhi and O'Neal Jr. blocked, he opened the situation with super strength, and even if he ran into Duncan, he had a chance to squeeze out of the help defense. He frequently enters the penalty area from the middle and causes damage.

At the same time, Xiao Ao has the ability to punish opponents in the middle distance: the Spurs are most afraid of the middle distance, which is why Kobe Bryant plays the Spurs and the statistics are good. As Suhi entered the penalty area, Xiao O, Barty, Henderson and others made achievements in the middle distance, and Miller on the periphery also formed a firepower output.

Atai didn't feel good tonight, but he was perfect as Suhi's wingman, and he quickly followed up on the flank, forming a back-and-forth power rush with Suhey.

The Spurs suffered on the defensive end, and the offensive end suffered a cold touch in the second half.

Popovich was a scoundrel, he simply replaced all the main players and stopped playing.

The Spurs have never pursued a regular season record, nor do they want to consume too much energy in the regular season.

With a win over San Antonio, the Pacers continued to extend their league-leading record advantage.

Then in Dallas, the Pacers scored another victory, which was nothing to praise either, and the Pacers pressed the Mavericks from the first minute, and the Mavericks were incapable of resisting a rough and powerful Indiana and quickly lay flat.

Suhi had a mediocre performance in this game, with 15 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, and the team didn't need him to play. And the focus of this game is to get Kenny Anderson back into the Pacers' new system.

Then, the footsteps of the walkers came to Houston.

This is Suhi's second time in Houston, and the last time he came to sing a song.

This time, reporters began to make fun of him.

"Hey, Jack. Is this match a little more important to you, Yao Ming, or Scarlett Johansson? ”

CCTV reporters interviewed Su Xi at the hotel where the walkers were staying, and before starting the interview, he asked a question that would not be broadcast on TV, and the atmosphere became lively.

Su Xi glanced at Huang Xiaoman, and Huang Xiaoman was also laughing.

Huang Xiaoman's tolerance always surprised Su Xi.

Of course, she also had times of jealousy. In Miami, she pestered Susie every night until she suffered the consequences and was left in bed.

"Winning is the most important thing." Su Xi Zhengse said.

Then, the camera turned on, and the CCTV reporter began the official interview. They first congratulated Suhi on becoming the all-time all-time vote leader, and then they asked some professional questions.

What's the difference between playing with the Pacers and playing with the Cavaliers?

"It's easier to play with the Pacers and you have a higher win rate." Su Xi did not talk about this issue in depth, there are too many analyses in the media and on the Internet, and as a party concerned, there is no need for him to amplify this dispute.

Before the last Chinese derby, you were traded. This time, have you ever worried that the Chinese derby will not be able to play again?

"Larry Bird has promised me that he will turn off his phone for the next two days, and the Pacers will never be able to fly a fly." Su Xi said humorously.

This year is the Olympic year, have you ever thought about joining the national team, going to Athens to join forces with Yao Ming, and create the best record in the history of the national team? You know, many fans in China are now looking forward to the breakthrough of you and Yao Ming, two NBA star players, to break through the zero medals in the men's basketball Olympics.

"Of course I'm very willing, and as long as the national team sends me a call-up, I will definitely play in the Olympics. However, I'm going to correct you for a problem, we have another NBA star, his name is Wang, and he plays in Miami. I was in Miami for a week and he was very capable and I think he would be a perfect fit for the Olympics. ”

"If I, Wang and Yao join forces, I think there is a high probability of hitting the medal."

Sushi said seriously.

He didn't realize that Huang Xiaoman outside the camera was shaking his hand at him. There was also an embarrassed expression on the reporter's face.

At this time, Wang was still a figure who was not very allowed to appear on domestic television.

However, Suhi doesn't know much about the twists and turns, and he's just starting from a basketball perspective.

The journalist did not go into the depth of the issue.

He then asked Suhi what he expected from the Chinese derby and what it meant to rise to the point where it would be for Chinese basketball.

Su Xi didn't quite understand the great significance of Chinese basketball, he just said that he would do his best to beat the Rockets, and he would definitely inspire a stronger Yao Ming.

Su Xi was only interviewed by CCTV before the Chinese derby.

As Suhi plays better and better in the NBA, his fame grows, and Suxi's influence in China is getting bigger and bigger, and he has a tendency to surpass Yao Ming to become the No. 1 basketball superstar.

Moreover, not only in the mainland, but also in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Su Xi's popularity has shown explosive growth. Sushi became a wave that swept East Asia, a trend between a star and an idol. Some people like him because of his skills, some people like him because of his face, some people like him because of his American girlfriends...

This can be seen from the fact that Huang Xiaoman and Mike O'Connor continue to bring back commercial quotations from Japan and South Korea, and the quotations of these merchants are rising rapidly.

"Actually, it's not just a derby. This is a PK between you and Yao Ming. Huang Xiaoman said: "I think you and Yao Ming's influence in China has reached a substantial junction, and you need a head-to-head victory to open the gap and consolidate the advantage." ”

"The first man, and the second man. The gap is obvious. Huang Xiaoman continued: "People know that the world's highest peak is Mount Everest, but not too many people will notice what the world's second highest peak is? ”

Suhi nodded, although he knew that the second peak was Chogori Peak, there was no need to make a bar in this place.

"I'll be in Los Angeles in a minute. I'm going to meet with domestic investment funds and South African investment funds, and by March, I'll help you get at least one. Huang Xiaoman said.

Before leaving, she emphasized again: "No matter how they fight or fight, I am Dafang." ”

Su Xi checked the information, he knew what the big house meant, and he nodded quickly: "Of course, it must be!" ”
