The home of the SuperSonics was conquered by James, and in the stadium without the main force present, he became the biggest "wrist" here, receiving the loudest cheers from the people.

This noisy atmosphere makes the Spurs look like a lost boat no matter how they look.

Let's pause.

Popovich could only stop his "ideological education" and put the main force back on the court.

The main force of the supersonic speed also followed.

It was another difficult tug-of-war, neither side refused to make mistakes, cautious, meticulous attack, so that the difference between the two sides until the end of the half, still maintained within 10 points.

This kind of rhythm is the most challenging for people, both fans and players.

Supposedly, Spurs are happy because it's their favorite way of playing and what they do best, but they can't be happy because they can't afford to lose.

They only have this one chance, and they are out of the game when they fail.

Another important point is the supersonic super scoring explosion.

So as soon as he returned to the locker room, Popovich set up what he called an "all-or-nothing" tactic.

'We've run out of time, we've got no chance for the next game and now we're 3-1 down, so we have to win this game. ”

"Listen, gentlemen, our opponent is very strong this time, I don't think I need to remind you, you should know this better than I do, but I want to tell you that we are going to defeat one such opponent now!"

"Remember last season, also in the Western Conference Finals, everybody thought we were going to lose because we were against the great Lakers, the great O'Neal and the Mamba Snakes, and Mr. Glove, who was known as the most successful defender of Jordan, and the number one forward in history. Yes, it's them, that's what we did last season, are they strong? No doubt, they're much stronger than we've met now, but we're still winners, it's us who went to the finals, and we got the championship ring. ”

"So gentlemen, there's nothing terrible about it, we're just repeating what we did last year, aren't we?"

.......

What Popovich said, even he didn't believe it, the supersonic is indeed not as strong as last year's Lakers, if the supersonic meets last year's Lakers, the supersonic may be swept, but the Spurs can defeat that Lakers, it does not mean that they can beat this supersonic.

Quite simply, the restraint of the lineup!

Gloves can block opposing point guards, can Parker?

He couldn't.

O'Neal doesn't need to make extra moves, he stands under the basket, which is a barrier that most interior players can't contend with, can Duncan do it?

Duncan couldn't do it.

The Lakers never have a shortage of attackers, can the Spurs?

Obviously, the Spurs don't have such a luxurious configuration.

Moreover, the biggest contributor to their victory over the Lakers last year has become their opponent!

However, Popovich had no choice, and the Spurs had no choice.

Don't say it's a lie, even if it's poison, they have to drink it.

At the start of the second half, the Spurs unleashed what Barkley called a "crazy" change.

On the outside, they sent Parker, Barry, and Ginobili three small men, and on the inside, Horry and Duncan, who are good at shooting, are partnered.

"It looks like Popovich is crazy, have they completely given up on defense?"

It's no wonder that Barkley said this, the Spurs' outside line, there is no one who is above the qualified line now, and the signs of Horry on the inside have become more and more obvious in the past two years.

But Kenny Smith doesn't seem surprised: "Is there a difference between being one point behind and being behind? For the Spurs, the most important thing now is to win, and the previous games have proven that their previous championship team can't win against the SuperSonics!"

"I understand what you're talking about Kenny, but I'm not optimistic about them, a lineup like theirs, it's more likely to let the supersonic outside unleash their offensive ability, it will be terrible!"

"I think Mr. Popovich has thought about it, otherwise you wouldn't be in the commentary box and he could be sitting on the sidelines. ”

Although Kenny's words were mainly aimed at Barkley, they did make a lot of sense, and Popovich did have the situation in mind.

Duncan made a shield, Parker broke through, and then successfully connected into a "two-person turn" mode, Duncan received the basketball, pressed the inside line in one step, and then passed the ball out, Barry, who got the position, received the ball and hit the empty shot.

The ball was transferred to the supersonics.

Ridno advances with the ball and encounters Parker's little black hand, and Ridno passes to Ray Allen, who meets Ginobili's little black hand.......

"Interrupt the supersonic offensive rhythm with frequent tackles!"

Barkley could only bow down.

Barkley is not a pitcher, but he also knows that rhythm is very important to pitchers.

Kenny shrugged lightly, "I knew it was going to be like this".

This forced pretend to be relatively successful, Barkley forgot to shut his mouth for a short time in order to digest it, and even when Chamberlain received the ball, he forgot to shout "how my brother ......"

The scene seemed a little chaotic, the supersonic were not a team with strict tactics, and they were suddenly confused by the Spurs.

Chamberlain could only come out to answer.

Ray Allen can only pass the ball, and the harassment of Barry and Ginobili makes him very embarrassed.

Chamberlain received the ball and turned and instantly wiped it into the free throw line.

After improving the dribble, his movements have become more fluid, and Horry, who was already difficult to keep up with his movements, can only "watch" now.

Sometimes the biggest role of defense is not to do it, but to be slow, to create conditions and time for teammates, but Horry didn't do anything, so although Duncan used the fastest time to make up for the defense, it was still too late.

Chamberlain has finished shooting.

After completing the shot, amid the cheers of the fans, the first thing Chamberlain did was not celebrate, but called a timeout.

That's what McMillan wanted to do but didn't have time to do.

"Supersonic substitutions, they replaced Redno and brought on Daniels. ”

The first time he was a fox, he didn't even steal a chicken, and Popovich had a toothache.

But Popovich wasn't going to stop there.

"Parker!"

Popovich gestured to his point guard.

Get up to the pace!

Parker understood........ I chose to go it alone.

If the small sports car does not pull Duncan, it will still be very fast, and the supersonic outside line will soon be pierced.

Chamberlain had to make a lateral move and chose to collide head-on with the sports car.

No one got their hands on it, but the basketball was no longer in Parker's hands.

"Nice fit, Ginobili!"
