The night sky of San Antonio, without a champion, still shines
The picture comes from the Internet
When the lights of the AT&T Center in San Antonio dimmed, fans were looking forward to the appearance of Wembanyama, the basketball genius in the silver and black jersey and known as the "Spider-Man of France", the news of his absence due to illness came on the radio, and the disappointment filled the air, but soon, it was replaced by another expectation - without the champion, how would the Spurs deal with this battle with the Jazz?
This is not just an ordinary preseason game, it is more like a litmus test of whether the young Spurs team can show the resilience and potential they should have in the absence of core players, and in the end, the score of 126-120 announced that the night sky of San Antonio can still shine without the light of the champion
Section 1: Temptation and Response, the Cry of Youth
At the start of the game, the Jazz took the lead, Sexton and Hendricks teamed up to set off a scoring frenzy on the outside, as if trying to give the Spurs a downward spiral, but the young Silver and Black were not intimidated by the momentum of their opponents, and they quickly adjusted their tactics to respond to the opponent's challenge with more aggressive scrambling and more fluid ball passing
Sophomore Primo became the initiator of the Spurs' earlyoffense, using his nimble feet and excellent ball sense to tear through the Jazz's defense and create scoring opportunities for his teammates, while sophomore rookie Sochan showed amazing athleticism, hitting the basket again and again, igniting the enthusiasm of the fans with tough offensive rebounds and brilliant secondary offense
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played very closely, and the score rose alternately, although the Spurs were slightly inferior on the offensive end, but their enthusiasm and fighting spirit on the defensive end made people see the heritage and hope of this team
Section 2: Substitute Surprise, Overture to Reversal
Entering the second quarter, both sides began to send bench players on the court, trying to find a breakthrough in the rotation lineup, at this time, the Spurs' bench depth advantage began to show, and second-year guard Blancham became a "microwave oven" on the court, he showed accurate three-point shooting ability as soon as he came on the court, hitting two three-pointers in a row to help the Spurs overtake the score
Another sophomore, 2.06-meter-tall forward Kayden Johnson, has shown versatile skills, using his physical advantage to attack the basket in the low post and hitting three-pointers from the outside, becoming a versatile player on the offensive end of the Spurs
On the other hand, the Jazz, although Sexton continued to show strong scoring ability in the second quarter, the other players played relatively mediocre and could not give him enough support, and at halftime, the Spurs took the lead 53-52 and firmly took the initiative of the game into their own hands
Section 3: Stalemate and tug-of-war, collision of wills
In the third quarter, the game became a contest of wills between the two sides, the score rose alternately, and the situation on the court changed rapidly
On the Jazz side, Sexton is still the offensive core of the team, using skillful dribbling skills and accurate mid-to-long-range shooting to impact the Spurs' defense again and again, while the Spurs rely on the team's defensive rotation and assistance defense to try their best to limit Sexton's play
On the offensive end, the Spurs played more patient and composed, constantly passing the ball and looking for open shots, and sophomore guard Wesley showed excellent playmaking skills, he organized the Spurs' offense and sent wonderful passes to his teammates at the right time
At the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 88, and the game entered the final decisive moment
Section 4: The decisive moment, the strength of the team
In the fourth quarter of the game, both sides sent their strongest lineups, and the atmosphere of the game also reached a climax, on the Spurs' side, Sochan and Keldon Johnson continued to show strong impact, they hit the basket again and again, and used tough offense to bite the score for the Spurs
The Jazz, on the other hand, relied on Sexton's individual ability to support themselves, but he was a bit alone in the face of the Spurs' impregnable defense
In the final moments of the game, the Spurs showed great resilience and execution, they played steadily, controlled the tempo of the game, and used free throws to extend the lead steadily, and in the end, the Spurs won 126-120 against the Jazz to achieve this hard-won victory
San Antonio's hope shines through the struggle
The victory in this game is of great significance to the young Spurs, which not only proves that the team still has strong fighting power and competitiveness despite the lack of core players, but also shows the Spurs' unique team basketball philosophy and never give up fighting spirit
The outstanding performances of Sochan and Keldon Johnson gave a glimpse into the future of the Spurs, two sophomores who showed maturity and composure beyond their years in the game, as well as a strong desire to win
The rest of the Spurs players also showed their value in the game, Primo's playmaking, Blancham's three-pointer, and Wesley's control all contributed to the team's victory
This game also gave fans a glimpse of the Spurs' terrible potential after Wembanyama's arrival, and what kind of dazzling sparks will this talented and energetic young team collide with the France rising star who is known as the "basketball genius"? Let's wait and see!
Postscript:
This competition is not only a sports competition, but also a hymn to teamwork, hard work and hope, which tells us that even in adversity, even if we lack the core, as long as we have firm faith and the spirit of never giving up, we will be able to overcome difficulties and create miracles
For the Spurs, this is just the beginning, they still have a long way to go, but they have already taken a solid step, and I believe that under the leadership of Coach Popovich, this team full of talent and hope will definitely create their own glory!
