On April 20, the Spurs played their second game at home. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info The person who broke out in F4 this time was replaced by O'Neal, O'Neal's domineering 21 shots and 15 shots showed 32+15, but unfortunately only 2 of 7 free throws. But the Spurs remained rock-solid on team defense, and on the offensive end they capitalized on Payton's aging weaknesses to the point where Gilbert Gilbert was the best defender. Arenas grabbed and punched hard for the core. "The General" Arenas contributed a team-high 30 points and led the Spurs to another 10-point victory.

After 2-0, public opinion swarmed in favor of the Spurs, especially Arenas's excellent play caused a lot of saliva. Some media outlets have even taken the moral high ground to turn over old accounts, accusing the Spurs of taking advantage of loopholes in the rules to forcibly steal people from the Warriors, winning the game and losing morality.

Maddie was also excited about it. If you are going to run into the old enemy Spurs, you must give Bowen a little color this time. Aim for 40 points, no, 50 points on Bowen's head!

This state of excitement was also carried over to the next day's game, Maddie was completely different from the previous game, and he provided assists for his teammates in the opening game, and finally hit a triple-double of 20+10+12. And Jefferson and Maddie worked together and became the biggest beneficiaries. He scored a game-high 31 points. 91:105, still winning by 14 points, the Rockets took a 2-0 lead at home.

The Rockets are playing lightly, and the Lakes and Horses will not be so simple. From the Spurs eliminated the Lakers 4-0 in 1999, to the Lakers' 4-0 revenge on the Spurs in 2001, to the Lakers' 4-1 victory over the Spurs in 2002 (there is also a 4-2 Lakers in 2003). In recent years, there have been many confrontations, and each other has won and lost, and this time may be the end of the old enemy's hatred.

On April 24, the Lakers finally returned to Staples. The field changed, and the fate was completely different - the Spurs were beaten stupid in the first quarter. O'Neal scored 10+6 in a single quarter, Kobe Bryant also scored 9 points, and the OK combination scored 19 points higher than the Spurs' entire team score. Duncan, on the other hand, only made 0 of 2 shots, 0 points, 0 rebounds and 1 block. Then the Spurs fought back several times, and were beaten back several times by the Lakers using the superstar's personal ability. In the end, the Spurs suffered a big defeat at 81-105, losing this game by more points than the previous two wins.

The Lakers also used this to declare the world - we are the strongest, and we just took a nap before.

On the same day, the Rockets did not nap as they won a hard-fought away win over the Nuggets to make it three straight playoff wins.

April 26, this day belongs to OK. Bryant played a dominant performance, contributing 42+6+5, and O'Neal also had 28+14, and the two combined to score 70 of the Lakers' 98 points. Another strange thing about this game is that Ginobili made two free throws to tie it at 90:98 more than two minutes before the end of the game, and both sides failed to score in the final moments, and the score remained until the end.

On the 27th, the rocket finally took a nap. They lost by 2 points to the Nuggets on the road. Andrew. Miller hit the crucial semi-final goal to avoid the humiliation of a 4-0 sweep.

On the 29th, the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the old enemy of Lake and Horse, kicked off at the SBC Center Arena. Unlike the first two games of this series, the Lakers showed high morale on the road, taking the initiative from the start. But the Spurs played the solid defense they are known for, consistently making it difficult for opponents to score smoothly. At the end of the third quarter, the score was quite low at 62:53, and the Lakers played like a quagmire despite their lead, which was extremely difficult.

As fans expected, the Spurs launched a ferocious comeback in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers' offense became more sluggish and played five minutes in the fourth quarter, with the score at 65-63. Only O'Neal scored three points in the near half-quarter, and no other player was able to break the deadlock. Although the Spurs did not score much, they were steadily closing the gap.

Finally, Kobe Bryant scored 2 points on a jumper to break the scoring drought. Malone caused Hawley's foul again, hitting one of two free throws, and the 68-63 margin widened slightly.

The Spurs gave the ball to core Duncan in a difficult moment, and Shi Fo wiped the board and missed a shot but grabbed the rebound himself, and O'Neal was fouled on defense. Duncan calmly hit both free throws.

O'Neill hits the iron, and Shi Buddha makes a short mid-range shot with an expressionless face. 68:67Only 1 point off!

Bryant's strong attack still missed, and Arenas broke through Payton's defense and handed Duncan to the assistant defender. Shi Buddha turned around and hooked his hand to hit the board, 68:69 overtake!

The home fans are going crazy! The SBC arena is not a large stadium in the league, with a capacity of more than 18,000 people, but it is one of the most attended arenas. Holy City fans love the Spurs as a team, and they love Duncan, a great superstar.

Ginobili steals Kobe Bryant, runs a fast-break move and makes a back-to-back pass, assisting Arenas for a layup, 68-71. The Lakers failed to score for 3 consecutive minutes, with only 2 minutes and 14 seconds left in the game, and it would be dangerous to not score again.

The Spurs have superstars, and the Lakers naturally have them. This time O'Neal stepped up, and he received a pass from Payton and turned around and hit a hook shot.

This time Arenas missed a shot, and Ginobili cleverly stole this crucial frontcourt rebound, but Hawley missed a three-point shot. Malone protects the rebound.

Payton tried several times and failed to find an opportunity, so he had to hand the ball to Kobe, who didn't look at the defense and directly pulled out three points, but unfortunately it popped out of the frame. With only 50 seconds left in the game, the Lakers are still one point behind.

The Spurs failed to find a chance on a number of occasions and eventually handed over to Arenas to force the shot, which was missed.

And this time Kobe Bryant did not live up to the trust of his teammates, he forced a two-point shot to win! 72:71 The Lakers took the lead with 11 seconds left in the game.

Popovich called a timeout and laid out his tactics. But this time, the Zen master anticipated the enemy's opportunity and made a targeted deployment.

The Spurs came out with Arenas holding the ball and consuming time, intending to leave no time for the Lakers to counterattack after completing the final attack. Arenas was about to start attacking when Fisher suddenly stepped forward to foul him.

The Lakers' fouls have not yet reached the number of free throws (Note: The defender can only make free throws if the defender fouls 4 times in a single quarter. Except for offenses and violations when shooting)! Spurs re-serve throw-ins and there are only 5 seconds left in the game!

Popovich's face turned dark, and he was put on the spot by the old fox of the Zen master! There was no way, and in the last 5 seconds, I had to call a timeout to rearrange.

The last 5 seconds of an attack is difficult, and the defenders are bound to be highly focused. Duncan was forced to lift beyond the free-throw line to receive the serve, holding the ball high with his back to the basket and O'Neal clinging to him.

Ginobili cut inside Duncan immediately after serving, intending to block the pursuer to create an open space and distract O'Neal by the way. At this moment, Duncan had already made a decision in his heart, he reached out with his right foot and turned into a face frame, and then dribbled sideways to the top of the free throw arc, O'Neal followed closely, and Malone immediately clamped into place. Duncan was forced to choose a big step-back jumper, which was so large that the shot was almost outside the three-point line.

Hit! 72:73Spurs magically overtake the score! With just 0.4 seconds left in the game, the Lakers immediately called a timeout.

The Zen master looked calm and laid out a bold tactic.

The Lakers served in the frontcourt, and the last 0.4 was a super difficult attack. You must know that if you shoot within 0.4 seconds of touching the ball, you are destined not to be able to put on a standard shooting posture, so it is difficult to score goals.

The Lakers players gathered in the middle, and suddenly O'Neal cut inside, Kobe Bryant pulled outside the center circle, and Fisher ran to Payton, the server.

Bryant ripped two and O'Neal ripped one, leaving room for the mid-range ball. Fisher received the ball, and he turned and jumped as he received it, throwing it out with a half-throw and half-throw. This last blow of despair - actually entered!

The referee looked at the replay carefully and decided that the ball was valid. Fisher looked up to the sky and roared, this superstar F4 was present at the same time, but it was a role player who threw the killer attack! Little Fish Fisher, turn the superstar OK into his foil, and turn the quasi-lore of the superstar Duncan into his stepping stone to victory!

(The Lake-Pox classic series is all based on real historical data, except that Parker's position is replaced by Arenas.)
