Today's game can be described as ups and downs, peaks and turns, thrilling...
The 12th-ranked Spurs and 14th Thunder in the West staged a quasi-kill and a counter-kill, both of which were very good, and they were in front of the famous Manu.
The two famous stars of the Spurs, Parker and Manu, sat on the sidelines to watch the game, Parker was to see if there was a gyroscope heir, and Manu was supposed to come to see the results of his tuning - and then, the Spurs guys used this to meet the test.
Brother Knife continued to miss, Bobo lined up the starting lineup of Murray + Johnson + Pelter + Vassell + Richardson, after the opening Richardson scored two points under the basket in a chaotic army, turned around and shot from a distance beyond the three-point line, Pelter hit two in a row with his feet, and also scored 5 points, Richardson another dragon, a wave of 12-4 thunder a catch. The Thunder relied on Robbie and Bezley to slowly eat away at the point difference, Murray opened in mid-range, the substitute corps also began to fire, Primo hit a 3-point shot and got the opportunity to take extra penalties, Walker forced the basket to create a kill, and with a 3-point shot from Murray, the Spurs ended the first quarter 37-29.
In the second quarter, the two sides continued to attack with full firepower, Maledon and Murray played three points, the two sides played back and forth, and the score alternately rose. But the Thunder are slowly narrowing the point gap, and in the middle of the quarter, the Thunder chased the score to 51 with two attacks. Bobo saw that the situation was not good, immediately called a timeout to make adjustments, and the Spurs people who came back suddenly hit a wave of flow, Johnson, Walker and Collins hit five three-pointers in a row, extinguishing the momentum of the Thunder, and stretching the point difference to 68-56 in one fell swoop.
Two quarters exploded 68 points, today's Spurs in the first half of the performance is really good, the starter in addition to Vassell all performed well, especially Richardson, like a veteran who has played in the Spurs for many years, there is no look of dissatisfaction, dare to fight, inject positive factors into the game. Roast Chicken Johnson kicked off the second half with a grumpy back-up three-shot cannon, and Alexander of the Thunder didn't want to let the game go into garbage time and began to show his skills, under his wave of manipulation, the Thunder slowly chased the score to single digits, Richardson was not happy, a cold arrow outside the three-point line, pulled the point difference back to 10 points. Murray and Johnson continued to add fuel to the fire, two consecutive three-pointers, the point difference reached 16 points, but the red-eyed Alexander could not hold back, this quarter of firepower in the single quarter of nine shots to cut 20 points, in the final moment, Beziley a whistle three-point shot, 98-91, the Thunder trailed by 7 points.
At the beginning of the last quarter, the Spurs offense suddenly lost power, and the Thunder fired thousands of arrows from outside the three-point line, blasting out a wave of 11-2 to complete the counterattack. Fortunately, Peltel's second offense stopped the bleeding for the Spurs. Since then, the two sides have come and gone, and the point difference has been alternating within 3 points, and there have been many times when they have drawn. In the decisive moment, Boku caused a three-point foul and three free throws, and then the basket caused Johnson to disturb the ball violation, Peltel stood tall and hit the hooker hit, the hook was 9-118, the Thunder immediately returned a two-pointer, 119-120, the Spurs trailed by 1 point, leaving us only 4.8 seconds.
The Thunder guarded Murray tightly, making him unable to catch the ball, at the critical moment, the running Walker received the ball, dribbled a step outside the three-point line, pointed out the defender, withstood the huge pressure of the three-point knife, the ball passed through the needle, 120-118, the Spurs led by 2 points. With 1.3 seconds left, Alexander's last shot was rejected by Primo's big hat, and the Spurs narrowly beat the Thunder 122-120.
This game, the lads' spirit is indeed commendable, the three cut 20+, 5 people scored in double figures: Johnson 22 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals; Murray 26 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 steals, almost another triple-double; Pollel 15 points and 14 rebounds; Richardson 17 points and 7 rebounds; Lonnie Walker 20 points. We are no longer someone else's background board, the previous kind of playing with a sudden power outage and then can not get up the day should be the end, after the tempering of the game, the boys' mood and tenacity have been improved, can play back and forth with the opponent at the glue moment, both the 15-point reversal of the Jazz, and the quasi-kill to the anti-quasi kill.
No one has such an ability as soon as they enter the team, all of them are 10 or 20-year-old boys, who have been taught by their predecessors when they first entered the league, and they have all evolved step by step, and they have slowly evolved year by year. Murray, who couldn't get past the half, grew up to the offensive and defensive organization to grasp it, and it is quite good, which is the inheritance of Spurs culture. In Spurs culture, there will be no word "pendulum", and there is no more "Duncan" worth the Spurs to mess with. Bobo also said that letting these energetic young people lose the game will hurt people, competitive sports, is to have an upward spirit, to have a fighting spirit, for the sake of victory dare to fight.
Richardson, who has just come to the trade, has done a good job in this regard, he is a very Spurs temperament, including Collins, but also as soon as he played, he showed his toughness at a glance, and in the 16 games of his comeback, he has suffered 4 technical fouls. Old-school stars, such as the helper, Kobe Bryant and Spurs' own Duncan, Manu, Parker, there is never the word "concede" in the dictionary, every game is fully committed, not until the last second never give up, this is the energy that competitive sports should pass on to us.
So, I hope that these lads, never give up, in the age of playing, they will have to impact, impact victory, impact the playoffs, impact the championship, and our young players will be like that little stonemason, patiently, hammer after hammer, until the moment the stone bursts.
