Guo Xu did not play in the final quarter, played for a total of 31 minutes, made 12 of 16 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 33 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals.

In the final quarter, both sides sent marginal players to play, and the Suns had the upper hand. The Suns' pure substitute lineup was Blake, Kirisek, Josh Howard, Kukoc and Diop. Four of them could shoot, three had the ability to take the ball offense, and a powerful metal shield center defended the penalty area.

The five players performed the tactics arranged by the coaching team well, had a clear division of labor, and handed over the task of holding the ball to two swingers.

Howard scored 8 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter. His physical strength against the Spurs substitute players is very obvious. He can not only play with his back, but also break through with a quick first step in the counterattack, and staged two wonderful dunks.

If Howard hadn't been sucking marijuana later in his previous life, he would have been a stable top ten small forward in the league.

After the Spurs replaced Duncan, Bowen and Ginobili, they could not make any progress or prevent them. The Spurs only scored 14 points in the last quarter, while the Suns scored 25 points.

The final game was 119 to 78, and the Suns won 41 points away.

Zhang Heli said: "I don't know how to describe this game anymore. After a summer, the two sides actually played such a huge gap in scores."

Xu Jicheng said: "The key is that the two insiders have become stronger. During the media day, Xiao Si said that he had practiced with three inside teammates for two months. This really works. After he practiced well, he could open up space and make it difficult for his opponent to double-team Guo Xu."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "What Guo Xu said has begun to come true. If you don't have to prevent pick-and-roll, you won't beat the Suns."

In this game, Sir also scored 20 points and 7 rebounds, Marion scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 3 blocks, both of them hit a 50%, and Marion also made a three-pointer.

The performance of the main Spurs players was unsatisfactory. Starting center Nestrovic only played 15 minutes, scoring 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal; Ginobili made 1 of 7 shots, plus free throws, scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists; Bowen made 2 of 7 shots, scoring 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Duncan is still steady, with 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks, but he can't lead the team to win by playing alone.

Because Anthony Carter was repeatedly released, he turned out to be the Spurs' most shots, making 5 of 15 shots, shooting 33.3% shooting percentage, scoring 10 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and 5 turnovers.

At the press conference, the Spurs were interviewed first. Popovich's face looked ugly. He could see that the overall strength of the Suns has improved. Even if Parker can play today, it would be difficult for the Spurs to defeat the Suns because they could not defend themselves.

The top outside scorers of other strong teams are almost all shooting guards, small forwards and Spurs defensive experts, Bao Wen, can only rely on his skills to limit his skills. However, against a point guard like Guo Xu, who has strong scoring ability, Bao Wen cannot limit it.

Bao Wen is 32 years old this year. With his physical fitness and age, he has been selected for defense for many years by defensive awareness and small movements. He used small movements to influence offensive players, but was not called a foul, which made him even more angry.

One thing is magical. Bowen, the recognized "dirty man", has almost never been suspended for malicious fouls or technical fouls. He is the person with the Spurs' most starts in a row. Instead, the players who face him are repeatedly angry, and the number of technical fouls he gets far higher than that of him. When his opponent is angry, Bowen hides far away every time, with an innocent expression of "what happened".

Bao Wen's small moves can't be used against Guo Xu because he can't fit in close contact smoothly. Guo Xu can play without the ball, and he can get away from him with average speed when he is holding the ball. When he is holding the ball, he can rely on his skills to open up space. He is prone to being forced to look for a close contact easily.

Bowen had no choice but to play Nash, who was weaker in his previous life. In the 2007 playoffs, he only caught the opportunity on the offensive end and gave Nash a chance. He used the enhanced version of "Strike" to "Strike" and hit Nash's Ding...

When evaluating this game, Popovich attributed the reason for the loss to Parker's inability to play and the change in lineup.

The reporter immediately brought the topic to Nestrovic and asked Popovich if he could replace David Robinson. Isn't this nonsense? One is a legendary superstar and the other is an ordinary blue-collar worker.

Some reporters asked Popovich if he regretted not choosing Guo Xu back then, which was nonsense, but as long as the coaches of the two teams were asked about this, it was a good news point.

In 2000, the Spurs had two second-round draft picks, and they chose two people who could not sign the contract, missing Guo Xu. At that time, someone revealed that Popovich was originally planning to choose Guo Xu, but later some news made him think that Guo Xu was a thorny and gave up because he was not easy to train.

The loss today was so miserable that Popovich was a little angry. "He is a regular season MVP, with two championship rings, and he is only 22 years old. Who wouldn't want such a point guard? But in 2000, no one expected that he would have come to where he is today."

Popovich had a little hope that Guo Xu would be seriously injured early and his quality would decline. Otherwise, the Suns would be a super strong team in the next 10 years, and it would be difficult for the Spurs to win the championship.

In Guo Xu's previous life, many people liked Spurs because of their team basketball and highly praised Popovich.

But to be honest, Popovich is a big fool. The Spurs were once teased by Chinese fans as a god-sting school because the Spurs not only sting themselves, but also taught a large group of stingy apprentices. For example, Presti was from the Spurs, and Buford was the same. The first thing the "Spurs" learned is to fool and save money.

The Spurs held on to the trident of Duncan, Parker and Ginobili in the early 20th century, and later signed Leonard and Aldridge. Except for these five people, almost all other players were low-paid and had high prices.

The Spurs are either veteran contracts or rookie contracts. The Spurs have used the method of taking advantage of loopholes to save money. The magical thing is that they have won five championships in this way, which makes people unwilling to accept it.

In contrast, the Suns' talent is too terrible. Even if you only keep three of them, Sir, Marion and Guo Xu, can challenge the Spurs. At this time, the Spurs' "GDP combination" has not reached its peak.

In an interview with the Suns, coach D'Antoni focused on praising the newly joined point guard Laga Bale.

"Laga is someone who has the ability to play the starter, and I'm glad he joined the Suns."

Colangelo and his son, who were watching football at home, attributed the good contribution of Bale's play to Guo Xu's excellent organizational skills. As long as Guo Xu is there, it seems that some people with poor data can play.

In this way, the Suns have a clear direction for future recruitment. As long as they sign some players who can defend and catch and shoot, they must be right.

Today, Bale played 30 minutes, made 4 of 6 shots, made 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 11 points. He only earned 3 million yuan an annual salary.

Guo Xu was interviewed and said in an interview that the Spurs would not be able to do without Parker.

"I think Tony Parker will become an All-Star in the future. He has this potential, fast speed, sharp breakthroughs, stable mid-range shots, but the long shots are slightly worse, just like a weakened version of me. With him, I won't lose so badly in the Spurs, so I have to spend some effort on the defensive end."

The reporter asked: "Did you mean you didn't defend well today?"

"..." Guo Xu bit his lower lip, turned into an emoticon, waved his hand for a moment, and said, "Skip this question, let's talk about other topics, such as championship competition, how attractive it is."

Then, Guo Xu shouted the slogan of winning the championship. "I think the Suns will win the championship this season, and I am very confident about it!"
