Chapter 392: Spurs Are Losing (Second Update!) )
Tang Tian sat on the side, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard Popovich's words.
There was no three-point shot in basketball at the beginning, but that kind of game was actually not very good to watch.
It used to be true that the closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score, and basketball, like football, is all hand-to-hand combat under the basket.
The introduction of three-point shooting gives basketball a sense of space and more tactics, which is actually conducive to the development of basketball.
But he knew that Popovich wasn't complaining about three-pointers, but about the ball, and the rules that were constantly being modified to accommodate it.
Just like the game version of the generation of gods, the basketball game is also a generation of rules and a generation of gods.
Or maybe it's the words of the weapon masters: the strongest weapon is the patch.
The appearance of the three-second zone, to the expansion of the three-second zone, to the appearance of the three-second rule of the restricted area.
From George McCann to Chamberlain to O'Neill.
Introducing the 5-second back-to-back violation rule; to abolish the illegal defense of only allowing one hand on the opponent's torso when the defense is allowed; Then to the complete elimination of handcheck, not allowing defensive players to get started.
From Jordan to Kobe Bryant to Durant.
Of course, there will be Curry in the future.
This is all dictated by the rules of the alliance.
This is what Popovich complained about, or worried about.
He worries that the basketball game will one day become a game where only three-pointers and dunks are left, and that will greatly reduce the spectacle.
Of course, such voices may cause some discussion, but they will not make any difference.
The alliance can't predict the future, and they think it's a good thing to see it happening.
It was Tang Tian who had some thoughts after hearing this.
He can do a lot of things after the crossing, but one of the most important reasons why he still chooses basketball is because of love.
He loves the sport, so it's only natural that he cares about the future of the sport.
Of course, these ideas are just the beginning.
After the press conference, he put it aside.
For him, Popovich and the Spurs, winning this year's Finals is even more crucial.
After a two-day break, the fourth game of the series resumed in San Antonio.
This game is crucial for both sides.
If the Spurs win, they will get the match point 3-1, and if the Heat win, the two sides will enter the Tianwang Mountain matchup.
The style of play of both teams has not changed much from before.
The two teams met in the finals last year, and they already know each other's tactical systems very well.
Although there have been reinforcements this season, the core lineup and coaching staff have not changed, and they have basically adapted to it after three games.
The Spurs are trying hard to create three-point opportunities for Tang Tian, and they also use this tactical containment to let Duncan attack the basket as much as possible.
While the Heat are defending the Spurs' tactics, they are also trying to create the defensive counter-attacking opportunities that they are good at.
The two sides showed their strengths and were evenly matched.
But the difference between this game and the previous ones is that after three quiet games, Bosh and Wade in the Big Three have both found their form.
Bosh had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, Wade had 22 points and 4 assists, plus James had 30 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
The Heat's Big Three scored 70 points to help the Heat win the crucial Game 4.
The overall score of the series was also tied at 2-2!
The two sides will usher in the battle of Tianwang Mountain that will determine the trend of the game!
At this point in the finals, the fans are already shouting that their hearts can't stand it.
The two sides come and go, this is the rhythm of rushing to grab seven!
The last time the NBA Finals grabbed seven was back in 2010.
At that time, Kobe Bryant vs. Pierce, and the Lakers defeated the Celtics Big Three to defend the championship.
The key battle of Tianwang Mountain is highly anticipated.
Both teams worked hard from the start, but by this point in the series, the Spurs' physical disadvantage was apparent.
Duncan, Ginobili, and even Dio played significantly worse than in the previous four games.
By the second half of the fourth quarter, the Spurs had trailed the Heat by as many as 12 points, 81-93.
A Spurs offense, Duncan made a basket and forced Bosh to turn around and hit the board.
Bosh defended hard, and Duncan's shot didn't go in.
But he immediately grabbed an offensive rebound and then made a layup.
It was a good chance to score, but the ball spun around the basket and slid out of the basket and the rebound was picked up by Bosh.
Duncan, who had always been calm, looked annoyed at this time.
When he retreated to the Spurs' half, he couldn't control his emotions and suddenly bent down and slapped the floor with both hands.
The scene was captured by the sidelines of reporters and media.
The Spurs team on the hotline couldn't help but feel distressed.
Perhaps only at this time will fans remember that the stone Buddha running on the field at this time is 37 years old.
Duncan's move inspired the whole team, and the Spurs defended three of them, and they tied the score before the end.
But at the last moment, Ray Allen received a pass from James and hit a difficult three-point shot, which directly killed the Spurs.
103-100, after falling behind 1-2, the Heat won two games in a row, rewriting the big score to 3-2 and taking the lead in getting the match point.
After the game, the Heat's home court was boiling, and James hugged Ray Allen and yelled like a child.
Pat Riley looked like a god in the stands.
In these games, Ray Allen played the performance of the Spurs last year and saved the entire Heat team.
James can deliver on his promises, Riley can continue his image as a god operator, and the Heat can reappear in glory!
The Heat had match point in hand, and the game was played at the ATT arena in San Antonio two days later.
If the Spurs want to win, dragging the game into a tie-break is the only way for them.
The ATT arena is full of attendance, and even the small ball market has a crazy side.
However, such a home atmosphere still can't save the Spurs' decline.
At halftime, they trailed the Heat by as many as 15 points, 35-50.
The two sides returned to the locker room to rest after halftime, but by this time the Heat fans on the hotline were completely high.
"Let's celebrate the championship in advance! Miami! ”
"Last year's grievances are finally understood this year, the first championship of LeBron's career!"
"Wade 12 points, LeBron 10 points, Bosh 8 points, the Big Three won the championship with their outstanding performances!"
"Tonight is really destined to be a historic moment, LeBron finally won his championship as the first person in the league!"
"It's going to be as great as Tom Novic's 'don't underestimate the heart of a championship,' and LeBron made good on his promise!"
"Barkley, commentator, are you ready? I can't wait to see you perform in your pink dress in the live broadcast room! ”
“Let'! Heat! ”
