After two more rounds, **Vic chose to replace Bowen and replaced Anthony Carter who had only rested for a while.

This is a helpless move. Carter is a small defender at least and is the fastest person in the Spurs at present. Bowen's continued defense will only increase Guo Xu's popularity. When a star performs well against defensive experts, it will attract more attention after the game.

After Carter came on the court, he easily scored a mid-range shot. Guo Xu was very far away and didn't even stretch his hand. 27 to 8.

Xu Jicheng commented: "Carter scored a goal, but he knew his shame and scored later, but... he was a bit of a queen mother."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "Guo Xu is not letting go. Just be so careful when dealing with poor shooting people. He can't shoot a few times in the whole game."

In the Suns' offense, Guo Xu passed it to Joe Johnson, who singled out Tekglu, who changed the ball and shook it out of space, and missed the jump shot in the emergency stop. In the Spurs' positional battle, Mersell relied on Duncan to cover the running without the ball, and scored a mid-range shot. 27 to 10.

Guo Xu beat Carter with the ball, and finally made a three-pointer with a step back jump shot. Haslem grabbed the frontcourt rebound and was blocked by Duncan for the second attack, but Smith grabbed the rebound again and scored two points from close range. 29 to 10.

Duncan received the ball in a low post and turned around and entered the basket with a fake move, causing Haslem to foul, making both free throws. 29 to 12.

Joe Johnson made a mistake in passing, Mersel intercepted and made a fast break to make Guo Xu foul, making both free throws. 29 to 14.

Guo Xu broke through with the ball and attracted double-team passes. Joe Johnson missed the open three-point jump shot from the left. Today he felt cold and was not good in the morning training, so D'Antoni asked him to play as a substitute.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan caught the ball on the left and broke through, causing Sir Jr. to foul, making both free throws. 29 to 16.

With multiple free throws, the Spurs' data is finally not too ugly. The lineup this season is destined to be unable to play sports battles and offenses. Strong attacks and free throws are a good way to ensure efficiency.

In the last attack of the Suns, Guo Xu defeated Carter in the middle, shook the shooting space and attracted Mersel to make up for defense and pass the ball with the situation. Bale received the ball 50 degrees and hit a buzzer-bearing three-pointer. 32 to 16.

This was Bell's only move in the first quarter and seized the opportunity.

When the game ended, Guo Xu and Bale clapped their hands to celebrate. Such a player who is willing to defend without money is worth 3 million!

Guo Xu scored 19 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, while Carter was only 2 points and 1 assist, with a huge gap; Duncan's performance was just average, with 1 of 4 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.

In the second quarter, the Suns lost the Spurs.

Blake, Kirisek, Joe Johnson, Marion and Nene played five people. Kukochi did not play in the important rotation last season, and Haslem also came off the court to rest, which shows how terrifying the depth of the Suns lineup is.

Marion and Joe Johnson, who had a few minutes off in the first quarter, appeared together to lead the substitute, and could not only fight back, but also fall into the position. This is bad news for rookie Josh Howard. With such a rotation method, how could he have the chance to play?

When dealing with a weak team, coach D'Antoni will let the new players play. He wants the core players to play more in the opening game and try his best to get a good start with a big victory. This will greatly improve the morale of the team and the confidence of the players.

Although the fast break in the rotation lineup is not as sharp as Guo Xu's on the court, they are very stable in positional battles and there are no obvious loopholes on the defensive end. Blake is on the Spurs substitute point guard Jason Hart in all aspects.

In Guo Xu's previous life, many people said that Blake was soft. He was beheaded by Chinese fans again and again. Some people on the Internet thought that a school guard could blow him off with his back, and Wu You could beat him one-on-one with the gyroscope on the spot.

In fact, Blake was seriously injured and his quality declined, and he played in the NBA for 13 seasons, won a four-year, 16 million middle-class contract, and played in the playoff team for many seasons. When D'Antoni first joined the Lakers, he once praised "I can finally coach Blake." At that time, the Lakers had many point guards, and Du Hong and Morris were cut, leaving Blake alone.

Many people say that Blake has a poor physical fitness and is even more misunderstood. He has practiced boxing. In 2002, he fought with his teammates in a college training class. He had a standard boxer stance and took advantage of the black teammates.

After entering NBA, Blake was thin, but he had a strong sense of confrontation and his style of play was very tough. Everyone thought he was soft because he was on the floor and didn't like to dance.

Blake was able to dribble steadily across the half court, and passed the ball to Joe Johnson and then opened the opportunity outside the three-point line to receive the ball and shoot. If there was no insider to help cover, he would never forcefully break through.

In this quarter, Joe Johnson gradually found the shooting feeling and scored 6 points. As the team's third scoring point in the playoffs, he played confidence and began to develop in the direction of "single Joe", no longer a simple three-pointer.

Nene is willing to help his teammates cover, then cut the ball directly to attack the basket, or catch the ball in the low post and play behind the back.

Once Duncan, the Spurs' core, has rested, no one can lead the entire team to attack. Now Ginobili is only in the second season of his career. Even with Duncan, he will need some time to adapt to his new role in the team.

Point guard Jason Hart has poor scoring ability and not strong organizational ability, and passes the ball in the middle of the half.

Ron Mersell, the swinger, dared to take on offensive tasks, but his scoring efficiency is extremely low, which is a recognized cancer in the league.

Mersel was a 6-couped rookie in the first round in 1997. He had the ball when he was a Celtic. In the second season, he averaged 17 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, but he scored high scores with high shots.

After the second season, Mersel was traded by the Celtics to the Nuggets because he and Pierce overlapped their positions and competed for the ball. He has changed five teams in the past few years, and playing for the Celtics for two years is the longest record. It is a mistake for the Spurs to bet on his talent.

After Horry was entangled by Marion, he had no chance to take action. Nestrovic had no choice but to face Nene. The two of them just ran back and forth.

The players in the Suns rotation lineup are all over 190cm tall, and they can just switch defenses when they encounter misalignment. It is better to interfere with shooting than when Guo Xu was there.

The main players came back one after another in the second half, and the Suns scored 28-19 in this quarter, leading by 60-35 in the first half.

Duncan started playing in the third quarter, scoring 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, but he could not take into account the internal and external defense. The Suns' offense was better, either Guo Xu broke through or Sir, and Nene cut.

The Spurs management now feels that the high salary and long-term appointment to dig Lassu has lost a lot. This guy can only defend the penalty area. The Suns cannot let him play when they send a small lineup. His speed of switching defense guards is too slow. Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, and Bale rely on cover to get rid of the defender and can throw three points after receiving the ball. It is not possible to be slow at all.

**Vicci remembered that Guo Xu played super data against the Timberwolves last season, and Sri scored 30+ in that game. Rasu was in the team at that time and seemed at a loss on the defensive end.

The new veteran Horry cannot play for a long time. Marion and Sir are much more mobile than him. As long as the defense is closely connected, it will be difficult for him to get a mobile phone. Horry is even more at a disadvantage when defending against counterattacks. When the opponent rushes, he can only foul, otherwise he will be thrown away.

When Nene, Sir, and Marion were present together, the Spurs had to send a few runners to withstand it.

Bao Wen was soon troubled by fouls and couldn't even get his foot. The Suns didn't jump to him and rushed to play.
