San Antonio Spurs, although now no longer regarded as the league's title-winning favorite team, but under the leadership of head coach Popovich, they have maintained more than ten years of super competitiveness, and even in the absence of top stars today, the Spurs, which are regarded by many fans as the touchstone of a strong team, still have a strong fighting ability, a number of personal abilities are not the league's top players, under popovich's tutelage, relying on team basketball has also played a performance recognized by everyone. As long as popovich is given a top star, he can return the Spurs to the top elite in the shortest possible time, which has become the consensus of many fans!
In the last NBA regular season, the Spurs defeated the Bulls in the Top East, after a day off, the Spurs went to the away game to challenge the Western Leaders Suns, the three cores of the Spurs in this game Murray, Peltel and White all hung up the exemption card, which also made paul's Suns a more optimistic party, but after the game began, the Spurs once established a 12-point lead by relying on excellent team basketball, but the impact of the absence of many core players in the final quarter was exposed. No one scored at the crucial moment, allowing the Suns to play an offensive climax to reverse the score, and finally reversed the Spurs 115-110, winning ten consecutive games to continue to lead the Western Conference standings!
Discernment and the ability to cultivate and tap the potential of low-ranking rookies have always been popovich's best things, in the Spurs' overall record of several seasons, Popovich has also cultivated a number of good young players for the team, in this game, Jones, who replaced Murray as the starting point guard, played a personal performance that made the fans shine.
In the 20-year draft, Jones, who was selected by the Spurs with the 11th pick in the second round, faced paul and Booker's backcourt double gun, played an excellent personal performance in terms of individual offense and organizing the overall attack of the whole team, in the 32.6 minutes of his appearance, 12 shots hit 7 goals, one person contributed 15 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, and there was no 1 mistake, under his combing, the Spurs also continued the consistent overall basketball style, As many as five people scored in double figures throughout the game, with McDermott shooting 6-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, scoring a team-high 24 points.
After last season's Finals experience, the Suns' deepest impression on fans this season is that they are not panicked in the face of any situation, they have repeatedly fallen behind in the first three quarters, the final quarter staged a reversal of the good play, in this game against the Spurs, Paul is still the team's offensive end of the mainstay, the whole game Sao Paulo easily cut 20 points, 8 rebounds and 19 assists of the quasi-triple-double data, while Booker hit 2 fatal three-pointers in the final quarter. The game exploded with 28 points, and Bridges scored 26 points, eventually helping the team to stage a reversal once again.
