At first, Chen Yu was just a little surprised. 'The Spurs have gotten stronger,' he thought. But subconsciously, he still believed they were no match for the Suns.
After all, the Suns had eliminated the Spurs 4-1 just last year.
And this year, not only had they kept their core lineup, but they'd also made significant improvements. The roster was practically perfect, without any weaknesses.
But now, at halftime, the Spurs were only trailing by five points. It was a bit incredible.
O'Neal was 5 for 8 from the field, scoring 13 points including free throws by halftime.
Hardaway, running the floor, had also racked up 11 points.
The newly-joined Miller showed his killer instinct, going 2 for 4 from three-point range for 9 points.
With 31 points in the first quarter and 27 in the second, the Suns were definitely not slacking off.
And yet, they were still only up by five.
Chen Yu stood up, unable to resist glancing over at the opposing bench.
