"Any defensive player who can achieve Bowen's defensive efficiency in the first half of this game when facing yes, I agree to add the word "sacred" in front of such a player!"

"Bruce Bowen and the Spurs' overall defensive coordination are so good. When yes moves without the ball, whether it is Duncan or other Spurs players, they will immediately double-team yes, forcing yes to give up and lose all effects under the double-team.

With the help of his Spurs teammates, Bowen had a lot of one-on-one opportunities with yes. In such a one-on-one duel, yes did not defeat Bowen!"

"In the first half, Bowen chose to focus on defending yes's three-pointers instead of yes's mid-range and breakthrough. Bowen's choice seemed to completely ignore what yes said a month ago, 'my mid-range.

Better than a three-pointer!"

"Bruce Bowen made a defensive choice that was incredible in the eyes of the world, but in the end he succeeded!"

"Faced with Bowen's strategy of focusing on defending three-pointers, Yes actually did not choose other offensive methods, but actually challenged Bowen on the outside and threw three-pointers!"

Bowen's defense in the first half was incredible. Bowen's defensive effect on Yees in the first half was even more astonishing to the Spurs fans and media commentators from all over the world.

After the first half of this game, they were finally willing to believe that in the last game between the Spurs and the Lakers, Kobe suffered such a big loss in front of Bowen, and it was definitely more than just underestimating the opponent.

Even Kobe himself feels a little unbelievable when he watches the TNT team arguing excitedly on TV.

Bowen's defensive strength is very strong. He has tried it personally. If he stands still and attacks Bowen one-on-one, his offense cannot beat Bowen's defense.

It’s not that he is destroying his own prestige, it’s that Bowen’s defensive skills have really reached the point where he is at his best!

Kobe felt that his offensive skills were also very strong. According to Phil, he might even be better than Jordan.

But it definitely didn’t hit the level of strength.

Bowen's defensive skills are really such that every option is the best option.

This is the same feeling that yes gives him.

What's more, Bowen also has super stealing and aggressiveness that Yes does not have.

It can be said that Bowen is now the best defensive player in the league and the player with the best defensive skills in the history of the league. He agrees.

As a friend who has played against each other countless times in the NBA, he even agrees with what the American media is saying now that if Bowen meets the minimum playing time this season, he will be the only candidate for the league's best defensive player this season.

.

Yao Ming, Duncan, and Garnett all have to step aside!

However, although Bowen's defense is now super strong, Kobe never thought that Yes would be defended as badly as it was in the first half.

He is still aware of yes's offensive strength. Whether it is three-pointers, two-pointers or breakthroughs with the ball, they are all at a perfect level.

Coupled with his excellent athletic ability and ball-handling ability, Yes, if he wants to, he can hold the ball and pull it out to constantly fight Bowen one-on-one.

It is true that in such a one-on-one situation with the ball, Yes' athletic ability cannot be fully utilized, but even if Yes' athletic ability cannot be fully utilized, it is definitely better than Bowen.

As long as the reason is yes, he can continue to break through Bowen one-on-one in this game, and face the help of Duncan or other Spurs players to continuously take shots in the mid-range.

But yes didn't do this in the game.

"Is Bowen sure that yes is still training Durant and doesn't want to occupy Durant's offensive space, or does he think that yes's mid-range is actually plastic and bluffing, and with Duncan protecting him from behind, there is no need to look at it at all?"

Kobe doesn't know what Bowen is thinking now, but this choice is indeed extremely bold!

After all, yes is recognized as a player who surpasses Jordan in mid-range!

Even if yes himself said that his mid-range is better than his three-pointer, there is some truth to it, yes's mid-range is definitely not much worse than his three-pointer.

I don't know whether it was Bowen's contempt for Yes or his trust in Duncan, or both, that gave Yes so many opportunities to beat Duncan in small and big ways.

In short, Bowen's defense against yes was very good in the first half, which can be called an artistic success.

At the end of the first half, in the Spurs locker room, although the two teams were tied at 36-36, the expressions on the faces of the Spurs players in the locker room were quite happy.

If the score is low, the score is low. What does it matter? As long as we can win!

Popovich, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili... Even Stephen Jackson, who has always been prickly, looks at Bowen with a look of surprise, respect or magic.

They had thought that Bowen was very powerful, but they really never thought that Bowen would be so powerful!

Damn it, Yes made 2 of 10 three-pointers in the first half. After Yes came to the NBA, his shooting percentage has never been so low when he took more than 10 shots, right?

This is an extremely huge achievement!

Facing such a huge achievement, Bowen's face now does not have any pride, but only a calm indifference. If it weren't for the enthusiasm and fierceness emanating from his eyes, even the Spurs players next to him would think that

In this game, Bowen faced just an insignificant person.

Is Bowen facing a nobody tonight?

Of course not!

That person is yes!

Yes to Popovich and the Spurs!

"Guys, your performance in the first half was outstanding. We played everything we wanted in this game. As long as we can maintain our performance in the first half in the second half, we will definitely be the winner of this game!"

Bowen is very calm now, but Popovich and other Spurs players cannot be calm.

The score between the two teams was indeed tied in the first half, and it is indeed too early to say victory now.

However, don't forget that the current rhythm of the game is on the Spurs' side.

The whole world knows that the SuperSonics are an offensive team and the Spurs are a defensive team.

In the rhythm of the offense, the Spurs and SuperSonics are tied, and Popovich and the Spurs will be worried about losing this game.

But if it was in a defensive rhythm, how could the SuperSonics be the Spurs' opponent?

The Spurs' offense is due to yes' dominance over Parker and Ginobili. It can be said that every time they face the SuperSonics, the Spurs' offense will be quite difficult.

But no matter how difficult it is for the Spurs, at the critical moment, Duncan can score!

Now Milicic and Millsap are making rapid progress, especially on the defensive end.

However, no matter how much the defense of these two improves, whether they are defending alone or flanking Duncan, Duncan can always score by himself or pass the ball to allow his teammates to score.

It can be said that Milicic and Millsap have very limited restrictions on Duncan.

On the other hand, Bowen’s restrictions on yes are even greater!

When the defensive battle reaches the final critical moment, the Spurs can maintain a good offensive efficiency, while the SuperSonics are because their leading players are crazy restricted and other players cannot score stably, so the outcome of this game still depends on the situation.

Say?

As long as this game can remain at the rhythm controlled by Bowen, there is no way the Spurs will lose this game!

Even if the last time the two teams met, if it weren't for the offensive efficiency of Durant and other Sonics players, the Spurs would not have been defeated by yes!

In the Spurs locker room, everyone at the Spurs is very satisfied with the current situation of the game.

As the opponent in the game, the Spurs were satisfied with their situation, but the SuperSonics were naturally not so satisfied.

The Spurs' defense was indeed outstanding in this game. Whether it was Milicic, Millsap, Durant or Rondo and Yes outside, they all encountered very big opponents among their respective opponents.

The Sonics scored a total of 36 points in the first half, and excluding the 10 points from the substitutes, the Sonics' five starting players scored 26 points in the first half.

Among the 26 points were Yes's 9 points and Durant's 10 points.

The other three Sonics starting players scored a total of 7 points, which is too miserable.

The Sonics have never scored so low in a half this season.

What's more, yes is facing Bowen in this game!

As for Bowen, apart from the huge problem with his game, the SuperSonics still respect this player's ability.

Especially the defensive strength.

A player whose ability value exceeded 90 in both 2k9 and nbalive games just by relying on defense alone, without causing any controversy.

This can only be said that the whole world has recognized Bowen's defensive ability.

Just like the official staff of 2k9 said, if possible, they are willing to set Yes's shooting at 120 points. Similarly, they are also willing to set Bowen's defense at 120 points.

Yes is invincible in front of any opponent, but Bowen is not.

"Kids, this game is very difficult. I know very well the difficulty that everyone faces in this game. The Spurs will not let us get out of here easily in this game."

Nelson was also quite surprised by the progress of the first half of the game.

He had thought that Yes would encounter difficulties when meeting Bowen in this game, but he really didn't expect that the difficulties would be so great.

But fortunately, yes doesn't have any depression on his face now, which is what makes him most satisfied and gratified.

He has coached many players. Almost all players in the NBA will become angry and unwilling when encountering a situation like Yes, and they will continue to spread negative energy. Even Nowitzki and Nash, the players with the best personalities he has coached, will

so.

But yes, he can control his emotions no matter what difficult situation he faces.

This is really important for a young team.

This will give these young players of the Sonics a very important psychological hint, that is, yes, there is still a way!

What's more, yes has always done this before.

Sonics players have extraordinary trust in yes.

It can be said that Yes can remain so calm despite being so trusted by the Sonics players. This is the most critical reason why other Sonics players can still be so calm now.
