"The game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs does not affect the rankings of the two teams. The winning or losing results will not affect the two teams, but this game is still extremely important to the two teams.

!”

"The Spurs need to occupy the top four positions in the Western Conference and cannot be separated by the Mavericks and Rockets. The SuperSonics need to work hard for the playoffs. The Spurs are very strong, but the Spurs playing back-to-back away games are a strong team they can win!"

This game between the Spurs and SuperSonics will of course be broadcast live across the United States.

The SuperSonics have a lot of national live broadcasts this season. Before the start of the season, even if the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs was broadcast nationally, no one would think that there would be any suspense about the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs.

This is not to mention that the two teams are currently ranked similarly, one is fifth and the other is sixth.

If anyone said before the start of the season that the SuperSonics and Spurs were close in rankings, they would probably be regarded as crazy.

"The Sonics' starting lineup has not changed tonight. The backcourt is still Rondo and Yes, the small forward is Quentin Richardson, the power forward is David Lee, and the center is Milicic."

"For the Spurs, point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Bruce Bowen, small forward Michael Finley, power forward Tim Duncan, center Oberto"

The starting lineups of both teams are regular lineups. Generally speaking, in the NBA regular season, no team will make too many targeted arrangements.

In the regular season, even if there are targeted arrangements, they are still small strategic directions.

For example, Popovich asked Bowen to strengthen his defense against Yeas.

And this is also Popovich's fear of Yes.

In today's NBA, there are not too many coaches who are afraid of Ye Si, and Popovich is probably the most among them.

Popovich now doesn’t know what the specific strength of Yes is.

The strongest Yes is called Fully Yes, Maddie Iverson and Reggie Miller.

This kind of Yes is really powerful. It beats the Bobcats with blood and kills the Pistons. It's all this kind of Yes.

However, it is not the strongest Yes who often appears in front of others, but the Yes who likes to move without the ball.

The key is, no one knows when this Yes who moves without the ball will turn into a full-force Yes, which is troublesome.

Yes is a real coach killer!

Without knowing the specific strength and mode switching of Yes, we cannot make targeted arrangements for Yes.

In the last game between the SuperSonics and the Nets, the Nets targeted Yes wrong.

Let Carter spend a lot of energy chasing Yes. Yes failed to defend Yes, but Carter himself was consumed.

The Nets attach too much importance to Yes.

Can Popovich understand that this powerful player can be ignored?

It won't work if you don't pay attention to it, and it won't work if you pay too much attention to it like the Nets did.

In this game, he will not let the Sonics play the blame-shifting system. He will leave Yes to Bowen to defend.

He has great trust in Bowen. No player can defeat the Spurs on his own when facing Bowen's defense!

Bowen will significantly reduce the offensive efficiency of opposing players.

Yes's offensive efficiency is extremely high this season, but that's because he hasn't met Bowen yet.

Bowen's defensive hard power may not be as strong as his reputation, but he has strength that hard power doesn't have.

With a defensive sharpshooter like Bowen, Popovich feels that he is much luckier than Nets head coach Frank.

Even if Bowen can't guard Yes, Bowen can use other methods to make Yes angry, thereby reducing Yes' efficiency.

Milicic, who only lost to Howard in jump balls, still allowed the Sonics to get the first ball of the game tonight.

The jump ball ended, and Bruce Bowen directly stuck to Ye Si's body.

The jersey was ripped off.

Bowen caught Ye Si with his clothes on his back.

Bowen's athletic ability is very average, and he is now older, almost 36. It would be really strange if he could keep up with Ye Si's speed.

Since your talent can't keep up, then use some means to keep up.

Ye Si could feel that as soon as he was ready to activate, Bowen would unleash the black beast, and the hands on his back clothes would pinch his flesh directly.

"very good!"

Popovich is very satisfied with Bowen's intimidating defense.

Regardless of whether it's dirty or not, as long as Yes is scared and doesn't run, then the Spurs' defense will be successful.

Bowen controls Yes, and Duncan and the others beat the other Sonics players, and the Spurs win.

"Yes is not started?!"

"Is Yes really afraid of Bowen?"

The referee may not have noticed Bowen's little move now. How could Ray Allen, who has been entangled with Bowen for so long, not know what Bowen is doing now.

To intimidate a rookie in this way is probably something only a bitch like Bowen can do.

He is a smart man, but he is a little timid.

If it were a player like Carter or Kobe, faced with this kind of psychologically suggestive intimidation, he would definitely open his hand or throw it away.

Then he can pretend to be fouled, and then knock down Kobe or Carter's legs from behind. Even if the referee sees it, he will not do anything to him. At most, it will be an ordinary foul.

How is it worth using an ordinary foul to make Kobe and Carter pay the price?

"Yes is asking for the ball?"

After Rondo pushed the ball into the frontcourt, he saw Ye Si who was about to ask for the ball.

YesThere are not many situations where you directly ask for the ball without moving.

But since Yes wants the ball, there's no way he won't give it to him.

"Yes, Bowen needs the ball now if it is not stuck. It is very dangerous!"

Yes is too impatient!

Of course, such a pass would be very dangerous. If the player behind is not stuck, Bowen can go around to the front at any time to complete the steal.

Seeing Rondo passing the ball like this, Bowen really had the urge to come up and steal it.

However, this impulse was finally controlled by Bowen.

Stealing statistics are not as important as defensive success.

No need to steal the ball, as long as Yes receives the ball, he can let Yes know who is the strongest defensive player in the league.

Many of his weapons are ready now, just waiting for Yes to receive the ball.

Popovich was very satisfied with Bowen's defense, but it was hard to believe that Yes would admit defeat like this.

Does Yes have other plans?

Ye Si raised his left hand horizontally, watching the basketball getting closer and closer to him. After receiving the basketball with his left hand, Ye Si completed the turn around.

With a bang and a tearing sound, Ye Si jumped up.

And Bowen, who was defending and intimidating Ye Si just now, was covering his neck and sitting on the ground!

34…41…55…62

62!

With a swipe sound, the ultrasonic speed scores first.

What just happened?

Popovich was a little confused on the sidelines.

He didn't see anything?!

Watching the slow-playing action on the TV, Pierce and Ray Allen looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Bowen, was elbowed?
Chapter completed!
