Su Jiu's words obviously made the All-Star defender feel a lot of anger.
There are a lot of people who can talk trash in the NBA. Whether they are role players or superstars, trash talking can be said to accompany the defensive career of most players.
As one of the troikas of the Spurs, Tony Parker has heard too much trash talk in his career, which is even more infuriating than Su Jiu, and it is not without exception that it is even insulting.
However, the person who spat out trash talk to Tony Parker at this time was a rookie who just entered the league this year, which made Tony Parker, who has been in the league for many years, feel unacceptable.
As a result, Tony Parker's intentions on the offensive end are also very strong. Facing Su Jiu several times, he used the pick-and-roll to forcefully break through to the inside to kill.
Seeing this scene, the expression on Su Jiu's face also started to look a little frowning, making it impossible for outsiders to know if it was an act or it was from the heart.
But basketball is never a one-person sport, especially in a team-based team like the Spurs. It is difficult for Tony Parker to beat the Magic alone.
And once Mason and Bonner, who are placed in the starting lineup, cannot play a role on the offensive end, then their role on the court may even be a disservice.
Secondly, a person's physical strength is very limited. With the physical exhaustion on the offensive end, Tony Parker's offensive efficiency is bound to decline.
For the Magic, as long as the entire Spurs team is not allowed to participate in the offense and play team basketball, then this is definitely a successful defense.
As the game progressed, Tony Parker's offensive firepower was also very fierce, and he was very decisive on the offensive end.
This also caused the Spurs to gradually start to catch up with the lagging score. Although this speed is relatively slow, the momentum seems to be returning to the Spurs again.
But just after Tony Parker's physical strength gradually declined, this finally gave the Magic a chance to counterattack.
There is a big difference between the entire Magic team coming back in the third quarter and Su Jiu going to target Tony Parker more in the first half.
That is, the entire Magic team began to invest in the offense. Whether it was Howard, Su Jiu or Lewis, the three of them shared more offensive responsibilities on the offensive end.
This is also why the Spurs, who were supposed to play team basketball, not only did not play a group offense, but the Magic, which has always used Howard as the axis of offense and defense, took the lead in playing team basketball.
Seeing that the situation on the field has gradually exceeded his control, Popovich can only call timeouts off the field continuously, wanting to use this to adjust the offensive situation on the field.
However, whether it is Mason or Bonner, the two off-ball ends in the second half were stared to death by the Magic.
Maybe Van Gundy does have many shortcomings as a head coach, but he is definitely an excellent coach.
Just as Su Jiu tried to provoke Parker and caused Parker to play too many individual singles, Van Gundy also discovered this very cleverly.
Therefore, Van Gundy also asked the players to put more pressure on the off-ball end in the second half, so as to make the Spurs fall into the individual singles of the stars as much as possible.
And the final feedback effect also made Van Gundy very satisfied, that is, no matter Duncan, Parker or Ginobili, it is very difficult for these three people to mobilize their teammates, but if they want to play individually, then the Magic can completely let it go.
In this case, the two teams also played a very weird game.
That is, the Spurs, which have always been known for their team basketball, have fallen into endless individual singles.
The Magic, which has always had the best defense ability, not only did not frequently assist in defense in this game, but also allowed the Spurs to conduct more individual singles.
This weird scene and the current situation on the court also made many fans on the Internet start to complain about this game.
Even those fans who spent a lot of money to buy the ball shouted loudly about the shady scene.
However, no matter what kind of external evaluation it is, it can't change the fact that the Magic has been playing against the Spurs. At the end of the third quarter, the Magic also succeeded in the away game with:
78:66
Leading the Spurs by 12 points ended the first three quarters.
This result was obviously a result that no one thought of before the game.
Before the game, I am afraid that the fans who believe that the Spurs will win the game at home will definitely account for the largest part.
At the end of the first quarter, it seemed to further confirm the thoughts in the hearts of these fans.
At the end of halftime, even though the score on the field was temporarily behind, the fans did not panic at all.
But at the end of the third quarter, these fans really felt anxious, and completely lost the confidence they had in their hearts before.
Throughout the third quarter, the Spurs' offensive momentum was very fierce. Led by Tony Parker, they directly caught the Magic by surprise.
However, as Tony Parker's physical strength obviously began to lose, the rhythm in the future was gradually mastered by the Magic.
Coupled with the combined internal and external forces of Howard, Lewis, and Su Jiu, they finally succeeded in suppressing the Spurs with a double-digit advantage after the end of the three quarters.
Kenny Smith: "This is really a weird game. At the end of the three quarters, the Magic led the Spurs by such a large score."
"And judging from the current momentum, it is very difficult for the Spurs to come back in the fourth quarter."
Barkley: "Yes, because from the second half of the third quarter, the Spurs have obviously had some physical problems."
"The Spurs' starting lineup has the second-lowest combined minutes per game among the 30 teams in the league this season."
"In addition to the usual rotation habits, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Spurs are mostly veterans. Coupled with the frequent injuries of players, the Spurs cannot guarantee long-term high-intensity combat."
"And Stan should have made this plan before this game, so the Magic also gradually changed from the first quarter to the second quarter to the third quarter."
"I have to say that Stan's strategy is indeed very clear. At least judging from the current situation, he has completely succeeded."
Kenny Smith: "That's right, and even though the Magic team played consecutive away games in this game, it can be seen from the performance on the court that the team's coaching staff must have made a very precise deployment before the game."
"For example, on the defensive end, the Spurs have to give up their usual style of play, so as to make more use of the star's ability. The final effect of this is completely visible to the naked eye."
"And by the time Greg (Popovich) reacts off the court, it's too late."
"The Magic not only made changes on the defensive end, but also made great changes on the offensive end of this game."
"That is, Dwight was not the absolute core of the attack. The coaching staff delayed this move, and only sent out their favorite style of play when the Spurs gradually lost their physical strength."
"Even at a certain stage in the third quarter, the Magic played the team basketball that the Spurs usually like most, so this is the weirdest part of the game that I said before."
