Suhi and Carlisle have a disagreement.

This doesn't happen very often.

A decision was waiting in the locker room.

For the Pacers, playing positional offense and running and bombing are just a matter of giving orders. After a regular season of polishing, they are also used to fast offense.

"Give it a try."

Suhi looked at Carlisle, his eyes full of anticipation.

Carlisle thought for a moment and said: "I can only give you five minutes and if you don't have three consecutive attacks, you will immediately switch to a half-court position. ”

"Jack, it's the finals, and the chances of a trick are low. It's a contest of willpower and tactics. ”

Carlisle said seriously.

Sushi nodded, and he agreed.

But he still wanted to give it a try.

Even if you can't kill the Spurs with a run-and-gun, it's still feasible to give them a little different impact.

Suhi watched the Western Conference Finals between the Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs.

He thinks the Pacers' run is different from the Suns.

The Suns' spears don't have a gun head and can't kill the Spurs.

The Pacers didn't have either, but they had the potential to kill the Spurs.

Backbite!

The whistle blew and the second half began.

The Pacers changed their starting lineup for the second half. Suhi, Miller, Jackson, Tony Barty, O'Neal Jr. played.

The new lineup left Popovich frowning on the bench, and he quickly made gestures and adopted a double-slam strategy.

The French sports car broke through Suhi with the ball, Suhi pressed him to the baseline with his feet, Tony Parker jumped up and passed, passing the basketball to Ginobili, Ginobili twisted the water snake waist from the wing, took a European step, and broke through Jackson's defense with great silkiness, and he went deep into the basket.

The action is very enchanting.

However, Tony Barty did not pity the jade and did not applaud his beautiful figure.

Instead, he jumped up and collided directly with his body... Ginobili's physical confrontation was ordinary, and he hastily passed the basketball to Duncan, who scored on a layup.

Duncan just scored.

Tony Barty picked up the basketball and sent it to Suhey: Why are you looking for a big brother, won't I be looking for a big brother?

Suhi ran wildly with the ball, smashing the front court like lightning.

The Pacers are also pushing extremely fast.

This slightly caught the Spurs off guard.

After all, the Spurs had just finished playing the Suns, and they had physical memories and replays were fast.

However, when Tony Parker tried to entangle Suhi outside the three-point line, Suhi ran over him directly, and he crashed away from the defense and slammed into the attack.

Rushing into the penalty area, Ginobili tried to block in the air, but Suhi pushed the basketball straight into the basket with his left hand...... Rumble!

The Conseco Arena immediately boiled.

The audience chanted MVP!

Suhi raised her hands in the air.

He looked at Popovich on the sidelines, and his eyes were somewhat provocative: If I take out the 'tank run', how should you respond?

That's the difference between the Soviet-style run-and-gun and the Nash run-and-gun, and Nash likes to play pick-and-roll.

Su Xi didn't need it, he could just go in.

Nash's spear can't pierce a dead person without a spear.

It doesn't matter if Suxi's spear has a spear head or not, his gun is a pestle without a spear head, and with such a pestle, won't Tony Parker and Ginobili be defeated one after another?

4.6 seconds.

TNT gives the data.

From the moment Duncan hit the shot, it took the Pacers less than five seconds to complete the offense. It's faster than the Phoenix Suns' seven-second run-and-gun to solve the battle.

Nash in front of the TV was also dumbfounded.

It turns out that running and bombing can still be fought like this.

Popovich on the sidelines made a gesture and asked Bruce Bowen to keep an eye on Suhi and prevent Suhi from receiving the ball easily.

Such... What did Suhi do with it?

Bruce Bowen's energy was really focused on Suhi, even if the Spurs were on the offensive end, his eyes did not forget to stare at Suhi.

Bang!

Ginobili hit a shot and Jackson anticipated his step-back.

The rebound was taken directly by Suhi, and when Suhi rushed into the paint, Barty and O'Neal Jr. had already done a good job for him.

This is the tacit understanding of the walkers.

Once you run and bang, then let Sushi come in and get the board.

Suhee got the rebound, and he immediately accelerated and ran, and Bruce Bowen quickly followed, and his defensive arsenal had a lot of defensive moves.

He tries to push Suhee to the sideline, blocking Suhey's sight and acceleration.

However, he underestimated Suhi's ability to handle the ball at high speed, and Sushi is not LeBron James.

Suhi shattered Bruce Bowen's calculation with a single turn of his back, and at the same moment as Bowen, Suxi's explosive power and speed were fully released.

Instantly shook off Bowen a step, Bowen followed and turned around and chased after him, but after all, he was a beat slower.

Although the Spurs initially established a defense in the frontcourt, they couldn't help but shrink when Sushi rushed in.

And as they shrank, Suhi quickly flung the basketball to the left the moment he burst into the free throw line, and his eyes looked at Reggie Miller on the right, and Miller drew attention.

But Stephen Jackson received the basketball, and whew!

Three-point hit.

Jackson had a good hand tonight.

He is a representative of 3-and-D players in the NBA.

Carlisle watched with excitement from the sidelines: Could it be that running and shooting can really take out the Spurs?

Phoenix's Stephen Nash and D'Antoni are also wondering: why is it that everyone is running and shooting, and why can they do it?

The defense gave the answer.

The walker is very different from the sun.

Suns full offensive attributes. Stoudemire plays center, Sean Marion plays power forward, Joe Johnson, Richardson plays guard, plus Stephen Nash, these people also have defensive ability in Marion, Joe Johnson is at most self-preservation, and the other three are pure colanders.

On the other hand, the Pacers, all of them started defense.

Falling into a defensive position, they play more traditional than the strong defensive team.

Suhi pinched Tony Parker at the top of the arc, Reggie Miller and Bowen, Stephen Jackson against Ginobili, O'Neal Jr. and Tony Barty in the box.

The Spurs pass the basketball to Duncan, who singles Tony Barty.

Tony Barty's defense is to be full of weight and give up his strength.

You can score on his head, but you have to keep your fitness.

Swish!

Duncan scored a goal to stabilize the morale of the army.

Then, Bruce Bowen wrapped up, Sushi made a gesture and jerked in, and Bowen quickly poked inside and opened his arms.

How do you know that Sushi sprinted directly backwards, Bowen's speed was not as good as Suhi, which was one and a half steps behind, and it was even more difficult to track, Barty passed the basketball to Stephen Jackson, Jackson made a long pass to the front court, Sushi grabbed the basketball, and he shook it to open Parker.

Then shoot directly outside the three-point line...... Swish!

Arrested.

The Conceco Arena is in a frenzy, and the home stadium is full of noise.

Backbite!

Popovich asked for a timeout.

"This ball is ridiculous." Kenny Smith said in the commentary seat: "Sushi the Sheep actually voted directly, is there such a reason?" The Suns aren't that crazy! Is this still a run-and-run? ”

"Why not? He's in! Barkley said dryly.

"But—" Kenny Smith didn't know what to say, he had a deep prejudice against Suhey, after all, he was the man who made him tongue kiss the male donkey. Normal basketball doesn't play like this. It's like playing a regular offense like a lore ball. ”

Barkley spread his palms, why not?

The Spurs were beaten and voluntarily requested a timeout.

Nash's silence on the television was deafening, and he couldn't tell if the Pacers were running or not. But what he can be sure of is that the Spurs can't guard Sushi a little.

Suhee does whatever she wants.

He can dribble against the Spurs' tough defense, he can run off the ball and hit unreasonable threes.

How nice would it be if I had his physical qualities?

Nash thought so.

Although he has better three-pointers with the ball, better pull-up shots, better playmaking, better passing techniques, and even better rhythm for layups than Sushi.

However, these skills are nothing more than a wound to the Spurs.

Su Xi's brutal style of play is to directly cut off one of his fingers.

"Fantastic, Jack. I didn't expect me to have the talent to play center. ”

O'Neill Jr. was back on the bench and he was very happy. Although he was not directly involved in the attack, he was just refreshed.

Carlisle didn't expect the Pacers' run to have such a strong effect.

When Suhi smiled and asked him, "Coach, let's continue for another 5 minutes." ”

He laughed too.

There's no reason not to stick to what works.

"But if you're beaten back by the Spurs, you have to cut back to the half-court position quickly." Carlisle, though not an academic coach, believes in one truth: the tougher and more important the series, the more you have to stick to the toughest path.

Popovich is also a member of this sect, and a senior member.

But now, he looked at the team's lineup and remembered the look in Suhi's eyes before.

Su Xi is indeed a monster, and Popovich is not afraid at all when he is taken out alone, even if he once led the Chinese team to win the Olympic championship. But in the NBA, under this system, Popovich has a hundred ways to kill him.

However, he has a powerful walker by his side. His strengths are not only revealed, but amplified.

Su Xi is put on a weak team, he may be an ordinary all-round supergiant, others can't help him, and he can't win the ball.

"Robert, you go to the power forward position."

Popovich decided: "Brent, you replace Manu." Tony, give San Antonio a boost. ”

Spurs made the decision to play fast directly.

Spurs also have the ability to attack quickly.

They are not purely positional attacking teams.

Backbite!

The whistle blew.

Carlisle looked at the Spurs lineup, and he fell into deep thought.

Also lost in thought were Nash and D'Antoni in front of the television.

The Spurs, the thick-eyed and big-eyed one, also defected?

Is he going to play run-and-run too?

Yes.

Tony Parker and Duncan played pick-and-rolls and went straight to the basket.

Throw to score.

Duncan's cover was so high that Suhey, the league's No. 1 pick-and-roll pick-and-roll, couldn't catch up.

And the inside line has been empty by Robert Horry, Horry ran outside the three-point line, and Tony Barty couldn't stay in the paint area.

As soon as Parker scored, he dropped back.

There is an eerie picture on the pitch: both teams are running wildly.

Suhi dribbled the ball to the half, and Bowen defended it.

Suhi and Tony Barty play blocking, impact the basket, look back and pass the basketball to Barty, Barty jumpers at the free throw line... There were no defenders in front of him or behind him.

Then, the Spurs also started with pick-and-roll, and Tony Parker drew the defense and passed the basketball to Brent Barry.

Barry doesn't play free-throw line dunks like his dad, but his three-point shooting is accurate.

Swish!

He and Robert Horry are the two veterans of the Spurs.

Then, Reggie Miller changed his eyes.

The attacking tempo of both sides was very fast and dazzling.

It's also unexpected.

The scores of both teams climbed rapidly.

Before the game, everyone thought that this year's Finals might be the ugliest ever, as both teams were known for their positional offense and defense.

But now, their total score is going to be 250.

Barkley rubbed his eyes and said, "Is it the Finals or the preseason?" ”

The finals, of course.

Although both teams are fiery in attack and efficient.

However, what should not be overlooked is their defense.

They also have a high quality of defense, they just don't keep each other at bay.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, both teams began to play iron frequently, the offensive efficiency was declining, and the importance of defense was reflected.

But now both teams are like young people who know the taste of marrow, and they have not given up the fast play.

Soon, the third quarter was over.

87：92。

The Pacers lead by 5 points.

This was supposed to be the full-court score, but the third quarter was too fierce for both sides!

"It's a bit tiring to play center."

O'Neill Jr. returned to the bench, and he said breathlessly.

He was facing Duncan.

Duncan was also tired.

For Duncan, the high-intensity confrontation is not so tiring, and this high-frequency back and forth running consumes his physical energy.

"Stephen, watch the game! The Spurs started and boomed. ”

Nash in front of the TV receives a call from Stoudemire.

Obviously, for Stoudemire, this is a novelty. "If the Spurs were playing against us at that time, we would be the team playing in the Finals now."

Stephen Nash is a very gentlemanly man, and he said to Stoudemire with grace: "Amare, you should do a little better defensively. Otherwise, we still don't have the right to let the Spurs play against us next season. ”

I don't know if it was because of the phone signal, but Stoudmire didn't even understand Stephen Nash's words. "You say, did the Spurs steal the run-and-gun technique from us?"

Nash smiled slightly, and he decided not to talk to Stoudemire anymore.

He watched the TV, where Kenny Smith said, "I expect both sides to go back to normal offense and defense in the fourth quarter. Attacking quickly is just one way for them. ”

"If the Spurs win tonight, I have a hunch that they will beat the Pacers 4-1."

Kenny Smith predicted.

"When I hear you say that, my heart is stable." Charles Barkley next to him smiled. "Originally, I thought the Pacers were a bit hanging."
