The NBA regular season continues with the Spurs visiting Cleveland today to take on the Cavaliers. As a rebuilding team, the Spurs' duo Wembanyama and Fox have both been reimbursed for the season, while the Cavaliers are a championship-winning giant, and the two teams have a huge disparity in strength. However, the Spurs performed well in this game, and at one point they were close to the score, but the Cavaliers won three in a row thanks to Jarrett Allen's dominant performance in the final quarter, and finally won 19-0 to win three in a row. Paul was defeated but still honored, he ushered in a milestone moment, and the legendary record written by Pierce in 0 years was broken by Paul.
首節開局階段,殘陣馬刺反客為主打出11-3攻勢,但騎士迅速以8-0回敬扳平比分。隨著米切爾單節獨得10分串聯全隊,騎士以30-24確立首節優勢。次節騎士一度將分差擴大至16分(46-30),但馬刺憑藉防守反擊轟出15-2攻擊波,半場結束時將比分追至49-54。易邊再戰,雙方展開對攻大戰,馬刺第三節單節轟下34分,並在中段短暫反超比分,但騎士憑藉斯特魯斯和奧科羅的三分火力守住3分領先。末節決戰,賈勒特-阿倫成為勝負手,他單節9次站上罰球線獨砍19分,率隊頂住馬刺的追分壓力,最終鎖定勝局。
Allen played a masterpiece of the season, contributing 7 points and 0 rebounds on 0-of-0 shooting, including 0 points in the final quarter, and single-handedly crushing the Spurs' interior defense. Mitchell continued to play the core role, cutting 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists in the half, contributing 0 points and 0 assists in the whole game, and the breakthrough point at the critical moment created many scoring opportunities for Allen. Garland was in a slump, scoring only 0 points on 0-of-0 shooting in the half, with a plus/minus of -0 and the lowest in the game, which became a hidden danger for the Cavaliers to be almost reversed.
Despite the absence of Wembanyama and Fox, the Spurs played well on the offensive end. There were 5 players in the team who scored double-doubles, among which Castle broke out and cut a quasi-triple-double of 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists. Vassell also handed in 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists, Johnson and Chan Penny on the bench combined for 0 points, and Sochan also scored 0 points. Veteran Paul contributed 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists, and completed his task well.
本場比賽對保羅而言意義非凡,他職業生涯常規賽出場數達到1344場,超越塞爾特人名宿保羅·皮爾斯(1343場),升至NBA歷史第16位。皮爾斯也是NBA的傳奇球星,他一共在聯盟效力了19年的時間,如今保羅完成了對他的超越,也證明瞭自己的偉大。而他下一位將會追逐科比,科比生涯累計出戰1346場,所以保羅只需要再打3場,就可以超越科比了。
