During the break, Terry Stotts took out the tactical board. He didn't want to waste any second.
The trend was very similar to the last game. The Trail Blazers started strong, but later fell into the Spurs' offensive rhythm, and then got out of hand.
Obviously the Trail Blazers' performance is not bad. They have scored a total of 71 points so far, and their efficiency has reached the average level since the playoffs. It's just that the Spurs' performance is better.
The characteristic of the Spurs is that they score evenly, and no one scores more abruptly. This is precisely the scariest thing, because it means that the team's pre-game defensive strategy has once again become useless.
Terry Stotts knew that he had to win this game. If he lost again, he would be 0:3 behind, and the players' confidence and the team's morale would fall to the lowest point since the playoffs started.
By then, it will be even harder to win!
"In the fourth quarter of the game, we must first maintain our defensive intensity. Defense wins the championship is the only truth in the NBA playoffs. At this time, the opponent's memory was bombarded. I definitely thought we would give up, but we just didn't and persisted.
Look, if you don’t have confidence in yourselves, then this game will really be over!”
"As for the attack..."
At this time, Terry Stotts had few tactical adjustments. The most important thing was to stabilize the players' emotions and fighting spirit.
After listening, Lillard and Wang Zelin looked at each other.
"My brother, are you tired?" Lillard asked.
"What are you talking about? I'm stronger than you think!" Wang Zelin replied with a smile.
"Me too." Lillard suddenly smiled and pointed to the Spurs bench: "But those old guys are different."
"This game should be the one in which we have the highest defensive intensity. They can still play such a terrible offense, which must be a lot of consumption. Just like Coach Terry said, if we maintain the defensive intensity in the fourth quarter, we will definitely have a comeback.
Chance."
After speaking, Lillard clenched his right fist and stretched it out.
"Of course, we won't be the ones to collapse first. I have always believed in this!"
Wang Zelin also stretched out his fist and touched it, then looked in the direction of the Spurs, his eyes were in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
How could my first Western Conference Finals end like this?
…
The whistle blew quickly in the final quarter, and the short inter-section break ended.
Wang Zelin patted Aldridge on the shoulder and stepped onto the court again.
The Blazers players returned to the game, and the cheers were obviously not high. Maybe many fans had given up.
They should just be thinking: The Trail Blazers are just a young team. It's amazing to reach the Western Conference Finals. The team is already great. There is no need to be so demanding on young people.
But what the fans don't know is that although most of the Trail Blazers players are young, they can always push themselves to the most demanding requirements!
Crazy for fighting, until death!
Until the last moment, the word "give up" will never appear in their dictionary.
"The game continues, Parker, the youngest member of the Spurs' GDP, continues to play, and Tim and Manu rest off the court. Audience friends, Tim has scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists today. It's really crazy! But we have to admit it.
, he is already 37, fortunately, the 14-point difference can give him a temporary relief."
"Looking at the other side, it seems that Wang and Damien are still very motivated. Maybe this is the vitality of young people. But there is one thing to say, sometimes fighting spirit is not enough. The first team to attack the ball is the Trail Blazers. Let us
Let’s see if the Trail Blazers can narrow the point difference this time.”
On the court, Lillard controlled the ball steadily. Although he was lagging behind, his brain was extremely calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, showing his general style.
Seeing this scene, many scouts and media people on the sidelines couldn't help but nodded.
In a simple transition, Lillard handed the ball to Aldridge on the left, and Aldridge's defender became Matt Bonner. His defensive ability was far inferior to that of his big brother Tim Duncan, but Aldridge's
The shot was not very accurate, and the ball unexpectedly hit the ball. In the end, Leonard collected the defensive rebound.
"Shet!"
As soon as the ball was released, Aldridge secretly thought something was wrong. He hated himself even more for failing to live up to the expectations of his teammates. At this stage, every offense of the team is particularly important, but he actually...
"Oops! LaMarcus's shot was short. With Duncan resting, the Trail Blazers lost another perfect opportunity to chase points." The home team couldn't help but beat their chests.
"Tim, it seems your worries are unnecessary. The Trail Blazers' most stable fourth position has fluctuated in form."
On the bench, Ginobili lightly poked Duncan with his arm and said with a smile.
The game wasn't over yet, but Duncan still had the same cold face off the court: "I hope so."
But he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Why is this happening?
Suddenly, Duncan glanced at the back of Trail Blazers No. 36 returning to defense: What will you do next?
Parker catches the ball in the backcourt and advances.
If his opponents aren't in a hurry, he shouldn't be in a hurry either.
Focusing on success rate is the strategy that Simavici sets for the final quarter during the break between quarters.
Lillard saw Parker advancing and took the initiative to take a step back, choosing to guard against penetration rather than shooting.
Parker was the highest scoring player on the Spurs today, scoring 22 points on 9-for-17 shooting. His three-point shooting rate was average, only 1-for-3...
Sure enough, just as Lillard took a step back, Parker broke through without hesitation after approaching the three-point line!
After so many hands, Lillard began to get used to Parker's rhythm, and his defensive predictions were in place. He moved his feet in time and used his excellent footsteps to compress Parker's breakthrough space. However, Leonard came up and blocked Lillard!
After the pick-and-roll, Batum stayed on the right side of the three-second zone. Leonard cut in from the middle. Lillard hurriedly chased after him. At this time, Split pulled out from the middle. When Leonard blocked Lillard, Parker
Seeing this, he hoisted the ball towards the center...
Under the basket, Wang Zelin saw Leonard rushing in and was about to step forward to block it. When he saw Parker's lob, he spat out the Chinese curse "I love you".
You're playing with flowers, right?
Alley-oop, right?
I won't let you accept it!
"Get out of the way!"
Terry Stotts stood up excitedly on the sidelines and shouted.
No matter how careful Wang Zelin is, he is still guilty of four crimes. As the absolute main force, he should protect himself.
"What? Wang didn't choose to dodge, he wanted to block the shot!"
"But Wang's ball is hard to guard against! Kawhi Leonard's cutting space is too good. As expected, this will be a violent dunk! Oh, Kawhi Leonard took off and dunked with one arm.
Straight to the Trail Blazers' basket!"
"Oh! My God! Wang took off. He actually jumped on the spot! His reaction was so fast and his bullet speed was so fast. He was like a rocket soaring into the sky, rising straight up! Can he interfere?"
The home commentator's shouts came one after another. Leonard on the offensive side was a little surprised, but more importantly he felt angry at being slighted.
Do you look down on me so much?
He actually wanted to jump on the spot to block the shot!
No matter how much the outside world unanimously believes that Leonard is an excellent Spurs successor, after all, it can be seen from his ice face.
But don’t forget, Leonard is still a young man in his early 20s after all. They are all young people, who still has a fire in his heart!
Not to mention that the person Leonard is about to dunk on is recognized as the strongest player of the younger generation.
Celestial boy, become my background!
At this moment, Leonard clearly felt a fire erupting deep in his heart.
Just when the basketball was very close to the basket, a yellow palm appeared between them...
"Snapped!"
A loud noise spread throughout the stadium.
“Block!!!Block!!!
Wang did it, he blocked his third shot of the game! This monster under the basket seemed to tell the Spurs that the game is not over yet~~~ It’s incredible! This goal boosted morale so much
!”
Covered?
Even Lundlad, who is known for his strong heart, was confused at this time and was a little at a loss for a moment.
Leonard, who was around 13 years old, has not experienced subsequent injuries such as foot injuries, and his athletic ability is still at the peak of his career.
As the No. 15 pick in the first round, he mainly plays small forward. Although his dunking ability is not as good as James's historical level, but looking at the current league, it is still at the same level.
Such a good position! Such a wonderful opportunity to cut in... He was actually blocked?
"rush!"
Suddenly, there was a roar in his ears, which brought Leonard back to his senses. Just as he was running forward, there was a "clang" sound that exploded on the Spurs' basket.
When I looked up, I realized that at some point, a yellow figure was hanging on the basketball hoop, and the number on the back of the jersey clearly read...
He is No. 36 of the Trail Blazers~Wang Zelin!
At 73:85, the Trail Blazers recovered 2 points.
"The Trail Blazers counterattacked successfully! Look at the fans at the scene, they are cheering for their king!"
Clifford Robinson thought to himself: Here is the opportunity!
Off the court, Duncan's mood fluctuated slightly. Just as he was about to stand up, he thought of something and turned his head to look in the direction of Simavici.
I saw Sima Weiwei sinking slightly and gently shaking his head at his most proud disciple: "Tim, trust Tony, your teammate next time."
"Um."
Simawicz is worthy of being another anchor for the Spurs. He can convince the players with just one word.
As for the other sea-fixing needle, it is naturally Tim Duncan.
Parker pushed forward.
"Follow closely!"
Wang Zelin roared under the basket, which lifted the spirits of his teammates.
The big shot just now boosted the Blazers' fighting spirit, just like a drowning person who sees a piece of driftwood floating in the distance. The desire to survive outweighs the fear of death.
Parker once again made the tactical gesture of pulling away.
Another breakthrough?
Seeing this, Wang Zelin raised his head, took a step below the free throw line, and released Split.
When Parker, who was about to break through, saw it, he immediately considered in his mind: continue to break through, or pass?
This is when the pick-and-roll tactic has started. Matt Bonner has already come over to do the pick-and-roll. He must make an immediate decision.
The pick-and-roll occurred, and Parker bypassed the wall and rushed inside.
Wang Zelin stepped forward with his left foot and stepped on the free throw line. Parker was not afraid at all and stepped forward, turning with a top and passing Wang Zelin.
"pretty!"
This gorgeous move made the home commentator couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
After turning around, Parker saw the empty Split under the basket and immediately chose to pass the ball.
There are so many vacancies and so many opportunities that no one can bear it.
Parker's jersey shot, Wang Zelin turned around instantly, Gangta's left foot suddenly stopped at the free throw line, and then took a step towards the basket.
Taking another step forward with his right foot, Wang Zelin took advantage of the momentum and soared into the sky.
No one could have imagined that it was already the fourth quarter and Wang Zelin could react so quickly and quickly.
Isn't he tired?
In fact, this empty space was a trap he deliberately left for Parker, and he had already been prepared to just return to defense.
Parker's assist count has reached 10, and the point difference is still 12 points. It is not ruled out that he wants to make his personal data more luxurious.
After all, the point difference between the two teams is still 12 points, and Parker can afford it.
On the right side of the basket, Split jumped up excitedly, catching the ball with both hands and preparing to smash the basket.
Split's current personal score is exactly 9 points. As long as this goal can be scored, the score will be in double figures. As a role player, scoring in double figures in the playoffs is indeed a big honor in his personal career resume. In my heart
Hidden joy: Good brother, after the game is over, I will pay for your consumption tonight.
But at this moment, a roadblock appeared in the sky.
I felt a figure approaching, and a big hand suddenly appeared behind Split's head and pressed it on the basketball.
"Get out of here!"
Wang Zelin knocked down Split with the ball with one palm.
"Bang!"
Split fell to the floor and the ball hit his foot and rolled out of bounds.
"ah!!!!"
The Rose Garden Arena was filled with excitement, and the cheers of the fans suddenly rose from the lowest point to the sky.
How could the fans not be moved by blocking the Spurs' offense for two consecutive rounds.
"A shocking blood cap happened. He directly pushed Split to the floor with the ball and hammered him. It was simply too cruel!"
Clifford Robinson's hysterical roar infected everyone watching the game.
"Shit! You are just a bunch of shit. Look what you have done? I am better than you even on the field! Go back to defense! Why are you talking about it? Why don't you hurry back to defense!"
On the sidelines, Simavici shouted angrily that the team has been really bad in these rounds.
