Chapter 720 720. Reappear 40!

When Duncan took a look at this good guy, he felt that he was no longer good and useless. In the second half, he handed the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili says he can!

In the third quarter, the Spurs started to surge. Ginobili scored 11 points, Duncan scored 6 points, and Bowen made 3 of 5 baseline shots, two three-pointers, and one long two-pointer... The Spurs surged to 31 points in a single quarter.

Defeated the Trail Blazers 31 to 27, and after three quarters, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers by 4 points 84 to 80!

In response to the Trail Blazers' 34-point rampage in the second quarter, Popovich made a decision at halftime that he had never made in the past eight playoffs - to attack.

But in terms of offense, the Trail Blazers were still stronger. At 11 minutes and 57 seconds before the last quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 35-28 and overtook the Spurs by three points, 115-112!

Ray Allen took over the Flying Squirrel's scoring banner from the outside, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, Liu Xiu had 9 points and 2 assists, and Kwame Brown had 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, beating the Spurs so hard.

Just when the Trail Blazers thought they were about to tie the score, they came back from a timeout and Ginobili hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

The score was evened, and Ginobili sent the game into overtime!

However, after overtime, the Spurs played an embarrassing 4 minutes and 50 seconds.

For 4 minutes and 50 seconds, the Spurs didn't score a point and took all 7 shots. Finally, in the last 10 seconds when the Trail Blazers couldn't defend themselves, Bowen ran to the bottom corner of the frontcourt, received the ball and threw it.

Scored a three-pointer to relieve the embarrassment.

The rhythm of the regular season was not controlled well, and the Spurs were exhausted when it came to overtime!

Especially Ginobili, who played 35 minutes in regular time and scored 30 points, he worked to the limit.

On the other side, Liu Xiu made 5 of 9 shots in overtime and scored 13 points! No one else scored in overtime for the Trail Blazers, but they still scored 13-3.

Although Duncan made 12 of 23 shots and 9 of 14 free throws to score 33 points, Ginobili made 10 of 19 shots and scored 30 points, and Bowen made 9 of 15 shots and scored the second-highest 26 points in his playoff career...

The Spurs still lost in the offensive battle.

With 13 points in overtime, Liu Xiu made 15 of 31 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 41 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, plus Ray Allen's 28 points.

, Randolph's 16 points, Flying Squirrel's 18 points... The Trail Blazers defeated the Spurs 128-118 away from home and evened the score!



The biggest point difference in this year’s conference finals is here!

Four games have been played in the Eastern and Western Conference finals, and the maximum point difference is only 10 points, which is rare in NBA history.

The difference in strength is so small that it has rarely been seen in many years.

After each game, there are many topics for the media to hype and fans to discuss.

The hottest topic is naturally the Yao Shark showdown.

Liu Xiu couldn't hold back this time in the regional finals. He just browsed in front of the computer when he had time...

When he browsed domestic portal websites and forums, he was quite puzzled.

Yao Ming played so well this time, but there are still some media and famous Internet figures saying that the current O'Neal has declined, and if it were to replace the O'Neal 5 years ago, Yao Ming was beaten so hard that he didn't even recognize his mother... The public opinion is full of chaos.

There is also a group of people making news about him, but Yao Ming is more popular this time in the conference finals, and there are many fewer pens targeting him.

The day after G4 was played, a new month arrived.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiu returned to Portland with the team. This time he still had two days of rest between home and away games, and played G5 on the 3rd.

After arriving in Portland, Liu Xiu, Payton, McDyess and others were called by the coaching staff and went directly to the Rose Garden Arena. The others got off work and will have warm-up training tomorrow.

The purpose of calling them there is to review and discuss the first four games with the coaching staff.

First, Huo Tu and the vice president worked together to sort out the basic situation of the first four games, and then everyone spoke to express their opinions.

Liu Xiu was the first to say: "Comparing the first two games with the last two games, the Spurs' playing style has changed a lot. This may become our trouble in the future, but now it will be our opportunity."

The coach responded: "Warden, you are right, I really didn't expect Popovich to make such a radical change. I always thought he was the same as Larry Brown..."

"Stop," the vice president interrupted the coach and said, "What Jess said is exactly what I, Kevin, Lionel, and Jeff discussed this morning, but there are also differences between us.

Should we use defense to snipe them, or should we follow their changes and use a more unrestrained and wild attack to confront them."

Payton heard this and asked: "So extreme?"

The coach finally got serious: "This is not an extreme, but if we seek a balance, it means we have done nothing.

We managed to equalize the big score with great difficulty. If we lose the day after tomorrow, it will be very difficult to equalize the score again in the away game.

We have to take advantage of their desire to change. We saw their offense last night and they are prepared."

Seeing everyone nodding, the coach felt that the atmosphere should be relaxed and asked Liu Xiu: "Warden, how do you choose?"

Liu Xiu immediately answered: "At the beginning, attack and charge! Charge with all your strength! If it doesn't work, then play defense later."

The vice president complained: "I know you only have this answer. In these games, you have been wasting every time you start..."

The coach interrupted: "Then he scored 52 points and 41 points, leading us to equalize the score. It was amazing. 93 points in two games. Kevin, you have never played in the playoffs... Oh, by the way, you have never played

Playoffs.”

The vice president named Xian Xian of reason is about to collapse...

But the atmosphere has definitely become more relaxed.

Although it is irritating, the vice president also thinks that the coach's words make sense - the warden always starts well.

In this case, it is indeed a good idea to increase the intensity of the opening attack to induce the Spurs to adjust their style of play.

After the meeting, the players left and the coaches continued to work overtime.

Huo Tu shook his head slightly and said: "I can't believe it. We have been worrying about the slow start of the attack and didn't know how to deal with it. The warden solved it by himself. Last night our overall attack was so bad at the start. If it weren't for Dian

The warden scored 10 points alone. We may be behind by more than 8 points in the first quarter, and it will be more difficult to catch up later... I don’t dare to think about it anymore.”

"He must have been worrying about this problem, thinking of ways, and finally decided to rely on his personal ability to solve the matter. Every time I feel his progress, it is so incredible..." The vice president's tone was full of relief.

.

At this time, the coach asked: "Is it possible that he doesn't actually care about attacking at the beginning, and still thinks that it is great to win after a slow start and a poor performance later?"

The vice president sneered: "Go, go, you think Jace is you? Don't look at how many times you have been in the All-Star Game and been selected to the best defensive team as a player. You can guess the genius of Jace.
