The Eastern Conference Finals are in full swing, and the Western Conference Finals have also reached a critical stage, and the Spurs went to Oklahoma City, and a 97-106 loss made the situation of the series confusing again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Popovich didn't seem to care, and during the break in the game, he talked to the team's new assistant coach Ereto Messina about the situation in the East.

"The 76ers won, an easy win, Eretto, do you think the 76ers will be the ones in the East to make it to the Finals?"

Before Erreto Messina joined the Spurs, he was a European coach, he brought more advanced team basketball to the Spurs, for the 76ers, Erreto Messina naturally knows a lot, because the head coach of the 76ers, Brett Brown, has also been mixed overseas, and also entered the NBA as Popovich's assistant coach, Erreto Messina naturally paid a lot of attention.

"At the moment, the 76ers should be able to easily advance to the Finals because of the style. Messina is obviously very optimistic about the 76ers, after all, judging from the two games played by Anxi, the 76ers' wins are still very valuable. "But what I wonder is, why did you let Ann go in the first place?"

Erreto Messina is really puzzled, because judging from Anxi's performance in the playoffs, Anxi is already the top star in the league this season, and even LeBron James can't compare to him, after all, LeBron James is just a loser, and LeBron James has gone home to fish.

Popovich shook his head and didn't speak, he had nothing to say now, it was really Anxi's progress was too fast, and Popovich didn't expect it at all.

No one would have thought that An Xi, who was still playing sixth man in the Spurs the previous season, was already a top five superstar in the league after only one season with the 76ers, and he continued to improve in the playoffs, and judging from the performance in the playoffs, An Xi is already the first person in the league!

"It's time for us to step up, defeat the Thunder, and let Brett and Ann know how good the master is. ”

Popovich made a joke, but in the joke, he also expressed his determination that the goal of the Spurs can only be to defend the title......

……

The fourth game between the Pacers and the 76ers is still held at the Wajovia Arena, and this game is quite important for the Pacers, because if they lose, the 76ers will get the match point, they are not the Heat, and it is difficult to turn to 3:3 when they are 1:3 behind, so the Pacers have made some changes in the key battle of the fourth game.

However, their starting lineup is still unchanged, point guard George Hill, shooting guard Lance Stephenson, small forward Paul George, power forward David West and center Roy Hibbert, this is already the strongest lineup of the Pacers, and it is impossible to change anything.

At the beginning of the game, just when everyone thought that this was a very easy game for the 76ers, the Pacers played a wave of 8:0 for the 76ers at the beginning, and Anxi, McCarvey and Pau Gasol on the 76ers' side shot iron respectively, and the 76ers couldn't prevent the Pacers' offense, so they were beaten with a wave of offensive mini-climax.

Brett Brown was forced to call the first timeout of the game.

Because this game is a key game for the 76ers to advance to the Finals, and it may also be the last home game, the owner of the 76ers, Josh Harris, also came to the scene to watch the game, and saw that the team was beaten 8:0 at the beginning, and Josh Harris was also a little annoyed.

Although Brett Brown didn't see Josh Harris's annoyance, he could guess that not only the team owners, but also the fans must have been gritting their teeth, and the team was hit with a wave of offensive sparks as soon as it started, which is obviously not what 76ers supporters want to see.

After a timeout, Brett Brown went into a rage, emphasized some defense, and then ended the timeout.

The strength of the 76ers is definitely no problem, but they were just caught off guard by the Pacers at the beginning, so Brett Brown didn't make any adjustments.

After returning from the timeout, Anxi held the ball outside to block and dismantle, and after giving McCarvey a hand-to-hand cooperation, Anxi cut into the interior and took away all the defense, leaving McCarvey alone outside the three-point line, unguarded.

He shot from beyond the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

After the timeout, the 76ers immediately found an opportunity and scored, which made Brett Brown breathe a sigh of relief, but in fact, when McCarvey shot, Brett Brown was also very nervous, knowing that even if it was an open three-pointer, McCarvey's shooting percentage was not so high.

The 76ers finally started scoring, and the game was getting back on track.

They began to fight back, under the leadership of An Xi, gradually narrowed the difference, but they fell behind by 8 points at the beginning, and the Pacers were in good shape, in this case, the 76ers wanted to overtake the difference as quickly as possible, and it was still difficult.

So it was played until the end of the first quarter, and the 76ers had just equalized the score, 22:22, at the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied, and the score was not high.

For the Pacers, the score in the first quarter proved that they had a chance to win the game at Wajovia Arena, so they hope to work hard in the second quarter to further maintain the suspense of the game and prevent the 76ers from continuing to overtake the point difference.

But obviously, the reality is always cruel, in the second quarter, the 76ers continued to exert their strength, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, and widening the point difference......

52:48, although it was only a 4-point lead, but for the 76ers who opened 0:8, the halftime lead was already a good result.

And soon, the familiar plot happened again, as soon as the third quarter came up, the 76ers played a wave of 8:2, instantly expanding the difference to 10 points, but obviously the Pacers in this game are more tenacious than the previous game, they took advantage of their many offensive points and played a good offense.

Even after the margin widened to double digits, the situation was stabilized.

At the end of the third quarter, 80-67, a 13-point difference, for the Pacers, they still have a theoretical chance to turn defeat into victory.

Frank Vogel naturally will not give up this opportunity, he knows the importance of this game, if he loses, the 76ers will get the series match point, and there is only one game left to win the Finals, so no matter what, Frank Vogel has to insist on letting the main team play to fight for the victory of this game.

In the fiery atmosphere of the Wachovia Arena, Frank Vogel's hoarse voice boosted the team's morale.

"We still have a chance, it's just a 13-point difference, we can come back, but the fourth quarter is our last chance, we have to fight with all our might!" Frank Vogel repeated: "This is our last chance!"

Lance Stephenson heard a burst of enthusiasm, he raised his hand, and took the initiative to ask: "Coach, hand over that China to me! I will make him completely dumb!"

Lance Stephenson looked confident, but Frank Vogel was a little hesitant...... (To be continued.) )
