Popovich's halftime adjustments were only a few words, but they had an unexpected effect, and the Spurs' offensive rhythm in the second half was more furious than ever, fueled by two speed-type outside lines that fully unleashed their speed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ginobili and Chamberlain abandoned the slow-moving Duncan and Bowen, and the three formed an offensive triangle. In the opening four minutes, they hit the Pistons' interior seven times and successfully bombed the Pistons' basket seven times.

The run-tired Pistons scored just six points in that time, and were hit by the Spurs with a 14-6 mini-spurt.

The Spurs' sudden acceleration of the pace made the Pistons very uncomfortable, their tight defense, all of a sudden full of flaws, can no longer rely on this to complete the balance of the situation on the court!

Seeing that the Spurs were gradually playing with momentum, in this case, Larry Brown, who had no choice, called a timeout, and the score on the court was 53:47, and the Spurs led the Pistons by 6 points!

Misalignment, this is the way the Pistons used to deal with the Spurs after the timeout, and more precisely against Chamberlain.

Rashid Wallace can't keep up with Chamberlain, but Prince can do it at the small forward position, and his height is 206 cm, coupled with an arm span far beyond ordinary people, he can easily suppress Chamberlain's bounce, and he has more excellent strength than Chamberlain, all of which makes it difficult for Chamberlain to get rid of his adhesion!

Chamberlain, who couldn't start faster, left Parker and Ginobili without a stable stopover, and the Spurs' new untested tactics failed.

The failure of tactics incidentally caused the Spurs' offense to begin to be chaotic, with several consecutive unsuccessful attacks and frequent mistakes.

Popovich opted for a substitution, replacing Ginobili with Turkoglou!

As in the first half, the rest of the third quarter returned to its original form, and the two teams entered a stalemate during which the two sides scored each other and did not give up. But the lack of rebounding allowed the Spurs to recover 4 points by the Pistons at the end of the quarter, and the score on the court became 64:62.

Two points is a dangerous margin, and he is not enough to make anyone proud and not to disappoint.

Back in the fourth quarter, the two teams that were disappointed in the victory began the final competition!

This is Detroit, it is the Palace of Auburn Hills, Parker and Chamberlain, the two people who are not high in physical confrontation attributes, have once again become the culprits of the Spurs' failure. Whether the Pistons foul or not depends on the referee's mood of defense, so that Parker and Chamberlain did not get any data in the final time, except for mistakes!

Although Turkoglou had good court control, the Spurs, who were missing two major points of fire, finally fell to the Pistons' close hand-to-hand combat.

The final score was 88:80, the total score was 2:2, and the two sides returned to the same running line again!

The Spurs players, who thought they would experience another storm, when they returned to the locker room, unexpectedly found that Popovich did not have a displeased expression, he simply expressed his regret for the game, and then announced that the next day, the team would gather in his room!

As soon as this game ended, the final ownership of the championship became even more confusing, and the things shown on the field made the Spurs lose points in the media's predictions, so in their reports, from the Spurs' victory theory, it became - "The Successful Decryption of the Civilian Pistons"!

With only one day off, the Spurs did not return to San Antonio. After the game, they spent a not-so-solid night in the hotel where they stayed, and the next morning, after a simple breakfast, they went to Popovich's room to meet!

Judging by the layout of the whole room, it has been refurbished. 12 small round benches, as well as a huge tactical board that will never be found in a hotel room, Popovich's next topic made the Spurs players have a number in their hearts!

"It's a pity that you failed yesterday, you're very disappointed, aren't you?"

As soon as the players were seated, Popovich asked this question.

No one answered him, and perhaps he had no hope of receiving an answer, he looked around and said, "Yesterday we had a chance to win, but I gave up, do you know why?" ”

Popovich's second question was answered, and the Spurs players looked at their head coach in surprise when they heard it.

Glad to have this effect, Popovich smiled mysteriously and said, "Because I don't want a chance to win, I want an absolute victory, I want a championship." It's away, it's Auburn Hills Palace, and as long as we get a win here, this year's championship will be ours! ”

Yes, that's what Popovich really thinks, and it only takes one away win to win.

So why didn't you choose the last one?

The Spurs players didn't ask, because these old ball ruffians who have been nurtured in the NBA for several years know what their head coach thinks! In some cases, the game is not only more rigorous than the usual training, the level of the player's scoring ability, whether the defense has any loopholes, and not only the state of the game, but also a very important one, that is, psychology, psychological tactics are also a tactic that can determine the outcome of the game!

In the last game, because there was no opportunity to train tactics, Popovich used it as a training ground, and at the same time, it also played a role in paralyzing the opponent. Two wins in a row, just like the Spurs at the beginning, the Pistons will be a little more relaxed, and more importantly, the next game is in Detroit, which is also the last home game of the Pistons!

Paralyze your opponents, make them relax, give them another slap in the head, and don't give them a chance to reply.

It is also an away victory, if the victory is put on the previous game, will this psychological warfare have this effect?

Let's assume that the Spurs really won, then it is conceivable that in Game 5, the Pistons will desperately fight back with home court advantage, can the already weak Spurs be able to stop it?

Spurs can't stop it.

So in the sixth game between the two sides, can the Spurs, who have just experienced defeat, stop the Pistons at home with the aftermath of victory?

"So let me announce the starting lineup for the next game: center - Chamberlain, power forward - Tim Duncan, small forward - Tecoglu, shooting guard - Ginobili, point guard - Parker!"

When the team members slowly calmed down, Popovich began to get to the point!
