November 17.

After a day's rest time, the Magic, who arrived in San Antonio in advance, will also be a visit to the Att Center Arena today, and challenge the Western Conference powerful Spurs away.

If we discuss strong teams in this league, the Spurs' name will never disappear into people's mouths.

The Spurs have always had stable strength in recent years, and are even jokingly called by fans as one of the strongest teams above the playoffs and under the championship.

So far, the Spurs have continued their tradition of being a powerful Western Conference this season.

Until now this season, the Spurs are only behind the Lakers in the West with a record of 7 wins and 3 losses, and are temporarily ranked second in the West.

The current three-horse players of the Spurs are in their prime, especially the French sports car Parker has performed very impressively this season.

If nothing unexpected happens, Tony Parker will definitely be selected into the All-Star lineup without any objection this season.

Parker can contribute 22 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.8 assists this season, of which 22 points per game is even more than 19.3 points that beat Duncan and become the Spurs' team scoring champion this season.

In addition to being a leader in the three troika, the Spurs have always been able to occupy a place in the West, where there are many experts, which is also due to the Spurs' very complete lineup depth.

Since Ginobili, one of the three troikas, has always appeared as the sixth man, this has also led to the Spurs having at least one star to lead the team at any time.

In addition to the three troikas, other players in the Spurs also have outstanding strength.

Red Mamba Bonner, Michael Finley, George Hill and three-point shooting are currently famous in the league.

Having a lineup depth with multiple players also allows the Spurs to rotate more calmly, and also ensures that it is difficult for the Spurs to directly climax by their opponents at any time, thereby taking away the game.

This is also the main reason why it is difficult for the Spurs to make too impressive performances, but it is difficult for other teams to make too big a difference in scores.

However, it is not all good for the Spurs recently, that is, the health of the three troika itself has also experienced some big and small problems.

Ginobili has been controlled by the head coach this season due to an ankle injury. As for Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, both of them have been suffering from sole fasciitis.

The two suffered from sole fasciitis at about the same time, which also made many people wonder whether these two people went to the same foot washing city to wash their feet during the game?!!

Although the Spurs have always been stable and remained among the strong teams for many years, there is not no good news for other teams in the league.

That is the defensive player Bruce on the Spurs' wing? Bowen is getting older and older. As of this season, Bowen is already old and can't run, and his contribution on the field can be said to be minimal.

Bowen's inability to do so also caused the Spurs' defense to become weaker and weaker in the backcourt.

You can't expect a veteran like Michael Finley to be as cautious as he was when he was young.

Because apart from Bowen, both Parker, Ginobili and Mason are not good at supporting the Spurs' defensive gates on the outside.

Therefore, once the Spurs encounter strong outside attackers this season, they will always be defeated.

It also allowed the Spurs, known for their defensive ability, to set the biggest loss record in recent seasons.

Before the game started, the players of both sides also warmed up shooting in the half. Since it was a away game, it was difficult for the Magic to train on the court during the rest.

So in this short period before the game, shooting warm-up will become very important.

Otherwise, if there is no confrontational game for several consecutive days, players with hottest feels will slowly cool down. The warm-up before the game can help players find the feeling of shooting as soon as possible.

Otherwise, after the game begins, no coach will have the patience to wait for the players to miss the iron again and again to find the shooting feel, unless the person is called Kobe...

As the game is about to begin, both sides have announced the starting lineups of this game:

Spurs:

Parker, Mason, Michael Finley, Matt Bonner, and Tim Duncan.

Magic:

Sujiu, Pitrus, Lewis, Tkoglu, and Howard.

Van Gundy still sent Su Jiu to start in this game because Tony Parker was actually called a French sports car because he started very quickly on the field.

After passing the ball, throwing and licking the basket have always been Parker's unique skills.

Of course, if we talk about the unique skills of becoming famous, then Tony Parker's real unique skills of becoming famous are Thomas's full spin, ruthlessly spinning small spinning top...

As a point guard, Parker not only has a very fast start speed, but also has a good ball control feel, which also leads to Parker often wiggling around on the court to complete the shaking of people.

Once, a boring reporter counted on the sidelines that Tony Parker made more than 60 laps in a game against the Lakers.

This way of spinning circles has also attracted the curiosity of many media people. When interviewing Parker, he asked bluntly:

Reporter: "Will you not feel dizzy when you are on the field and lose your sense of direction?"

Parker: "My sense of ball is pretty good, so I won't lose my sense of direction after completing these movements, but if I feel dizzy, well... I'm a little dizzy..."

Due to Tony Parker's outstanding performance this season, he has replaced Duncan as the Spurs' number one offensive player.

Coupled with the excellent start speed, it is difficult for Nelson to defend Parker one-on-one in the starting lineup. After all, Nelson's defensive ability is really poor, and speed has always been his most fatal shortcomings.

So facing Tony Parker, Van Gundy also chose to make Su Jiu, who is younger and has better defense skills, directly match with him.

Although I want Su Jiu to limit Tony Parker in one-on-one defense, this is also an unrealistic thing.

After all, no matter what, Tony Parker is already a perfect All-Star defender, and no matter how outstanding Su Jiu is, he is just a fledgling rookie player.

But between Nelson and Su Jiu, Van Gundy chose to trust Su Jiu without any suspense.
