On November 3, the NBA regular season continued. The San Antonio Spurs challenged the Phoenix Suns away from home. Since the start of the game, the Spurs have achieved an impressive record of 5 wins and 0 losses. You must know that this is a feat that even the GDP combination cannot achieve. In the first 5 games, the Spurs ranked first in the league in six statistics (points lost per game, fast break points, defensive rebounds, defense). efficiency, limiting the opponent's shooting percentage, limiting the opponent's rebounds), Bunyama has completely grown into an MVP-level superstar. Under his leadership, the Spurs have become the league's first defensive team, averaging only 103.8 points per game, far ahead of the second-place Thunder with 109.7 points. In the previous game, against the Heat, who were in good shape, Bunyama dominated the offense and defense in the second half and defeated his opponents! On the other hand, the Suns only achieved 2 wins and 4 losses in the first 6 games of the season, ranking 12th in the Western Conference. They averaged 116.3 points per game and conceded 121 points per game, both of which are in the middle and lower reaches of the league. However, the Suns' three-pointers are good, averaging 45.7 three-pointers per game and hitting 16 of them (second in the league). We faced the Jazz in the last game and won easily with Booker's perfect performance!

This is the first matchup between the two sides this season. Both sides have important players who cannot appear. Fox, Olynyk, Kornet, and Sohan are not playing on the Spurs side. The head coach arranged for Champagny, Barnes, Vonbanyama, Vassell, and Castle to start together. The two core starting cores of Green and Dillon on the Sun side are unable to appear. Dunn, O'Neal, Williams, Allen, and Booker are the starters at home. Facing Ma Wei, who has just come back, in this game, it is worth looking forward to what kind of monster performance Wenbanyama can perform. In addition, whether second place Harper can continue to be efficient is also a major highlight of this game. Harper has played better and better in recent games and has a chance to compete for the best rookie. On the Suns side, Green and Dillon, the two core starting cores, are not playing. Booker needs more help from his teammates. The performance of Dunn, O'Neal, Marvel, and Allen will directly affect the trend of the game. It is also worth looking forward to how many performance opportunities the two rookies Fleming and Maluachi can get. This is a duel between young people. Although the Spurs have the advantage in all aspects, various situations can happen in the NBA!

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs took the lead in attacking. Castle broke through and made a mistake in passing the ball. Looking back, the Suns also made the same mistake. Fortunately, they had the ball in their hands, but the attack failed. O'Neal missed a three-pointer, and Vassell made a mid-range jumper to win the game. In the first point of the game, O'Neal did not dare to go to the basket and chose to throw up and missed. However, the Spurs' touch was also very poor. Barnes missed a three-pointer from a wide open space. Both sides started with very low efficiency. Booker broke through the inside to attract the defender and Allen hit a super long three-pointer. After two and a half minutes, the score on the court was 2-3! Both sides still couldn't make a shot. Vassell's second mid-range shot continued and he still had a good touch. Booker broke through the basket and assisted Dunn to hit a three-pointer from the outside. Mawei blocked the shot and the Spurs had an offensive rebound. Castle also made a mid-range shot and the score was 6-6. Allen hit Champany in a single and scored a dunk. The Suns stopped the Spurs 8-6 at home. It has to be said that the Suns' defensive quality has directly improved several levels since Ma Wei returned! Back to the game, the Spurs replaced Harper on the court, and immediately broke through the inside and made a layup to score 2+1 to help the Spurs overtake the score. O'Neal received an assist from his teammates and hit another three-pointer.

So far, the Suns have played the level of a strong three-point team. Wenbanyama committed an offensive foul and Champagne made a defensive foul. Wenbanyama was replaced. Booker made a three-pointer and the Suns were about to start. Veteran Barnes immediately responded from the outside. Booker instigated a sudden score. Mawei stood on the free throw line and made two free throws for 15-12. Harper broke through the paint and made a three-pointer. The ball was outrageous. Gillespie converted a three-pointer and the Suns all made three-pointers. Vassell wanted to respond from the outside but failed to respond. Instead, Dunn turned around and hit another three-pointer, and the Suns led 21-12. At 9 points, Harper beat Gillespie to help the Spurs chase the point, but the defensive end allowed Iguodaro to easily lay the basket, and Booker also had a mid-range shot. The Suns used a 10-2 climax to rewrite the score to 25-14, and the Spurs paused again! After the timeout, Wenbanyama returned to the court. Harper made a throw from the free throw line. Iguodaro screened for a foul. Castle missed a three-pointer for the Spurs. Booker made a mid-range shot. Castle scored 2+1 and the Spurs chased the score to 19-27. In the last minute and a half of the first quarter, the Spurs made a 5-4 wave to chase the score to 24-31!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Wenbanyama was still on the court, while Booker rested off the court. Wenbanyama successfully protected the frame inside, and Kelden was also defended from the basket. Richards used the rhythm to hit Wenbanyama for a goal. Kelden still hit the basket and got it this time. Richards once again faced Wenbanyama under the basket and caused a foul and made two free throws for 35-26. I have to say that he played really well as a substitute. Iguodaro committed an offensive foul and gave the ball to the Spurs. Wenbanyama got the ball and faced a double team. McLaughlin missed the three-pointer after receiving the ball. The Suns kicked off in the frontcourt and Gillespie hit a long two-pointer. Castle assisted Kelden to hit a layup without looking at anyone. The Suns were never able to narrow the point difference. Allen made a mistake in passing the ball and Harper pushed forward with the ball. With a back luck, he easily passed Richards for a layup and the point difference returned to 2+1 to 6 points. This is really not like a rookie player.. Richards hit a mid-range hit, and Harper's pass was intercepted. Booker caught the ball and hit a three-pointer, and the score difference reached double digits. So far, Wenbanyama has not scored a point! Bryant missed a layup, Champany missed a pass on an offensive rebound, Booker counterattacked and assisted Allen, Richards dunked to expand the Suns' lead to 13 points, and the Spurs had to timeout!

Back to the game, Harper's second rebound helped the Spurs score, Richards assisted Dunn for a layup, and Keldon also tipped in an offensive rebound. The Spurs' two frontcourt rebounds were good. Booker broke through with the ball until he fouled and made two free throws, and hit 48-35. Champany broke through for a layup, and Richards misplaced dunks under the basket and Harper scored. Today, he is the MVP of the current lead of the Solar! Champagnie took three slow steps and fouled and made two free throws. Wenbanyama returned to the court in poor condition today and lost a defensive rebound as soon as he started. Goodwin hit a three-pointer from the corner. Allen and Goodwin hit another three-pointer. Fortunately, Barnes and Castle's layup from the outside did not make the situation get out of hand, 61-44. In the last 2 and a half minutes of the first half, Wenban Yama finally made some achievements on both ends of the offense and defense. The Spurs hit consecutive shots from the outside, but they gave the Suns two free throws at the last moment. The Spurs were upset 52-70 and fell behind by 18 points!

After returning from the break, Wenban Yama still couldn't find his form, and the defensive end couldn't limit the Suns. The latter sent 30 assists in three quarters to show their excellent coordination. The Suns scored 30+ points again in the third quarter to continue to expand their advantage; after that, the Suns completely controlled the situation and gave no chance. In the end, the Spurs defeated the Suns 118-130 on the court, ending their five-game winning streak and suffering their first defeat of the season.

Look at the data: He is the number one sinner!

The number one sinner (Bunban Yama): 4 of 14, 9 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks, 6 turnovers and 3 fouls. This is the total statistics that Bunyama handed over. He should not have been beaten by the Suns' third center Richards on both offense and defense. He had no way to face the Suns' attack, and even had no way to face the Suns' small man. He sleepwalked throughout the game and was the number one sinner of the team's upset loss!

The second sinner (Wasser): 2 of 9, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. On the offensive end, he missed all kinds of open three-pointers. On the defensive end, he was beaten by his opponent. His performance was too poor. He was the second sinner of the upset loss!
