Basketball competition, to a high enough level, some details will determine the direction of the game, but too obsessed with the details is not good, because sometimes, someone will educate you that basketball is such a thing, as long as you are decided.

The clash between Mo Xi and Duncan caused Mo Xi to temporarily fall into the disadvantage due to the appearance of Ginobili, and entering the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, Mo Xi did not seem to intend to hold back to himself, and he continued to stay on the court.

On the other side, Popovich hesitated, but decisively pressed Duncan to the bench. Popovich feels that in the end of this game, the decisive place is still the confrontation between Mo Xi and Duncan, speaking of which, the Spurs do not have a good enough bench inside, but the Knicks still have an excellent blue-collar player like Dale Davis and Wang Zhizhi, a scoring master on the Knicks bench. However, it may also be because of the first game, George Karl did not rashly start these two interior lines and give them more playing time, but it was reduced, and the main personnel of the Knicks interior line are still a pity, and George Karl changed the configuration of the No. 4 position by matching different outside players.

Now it's a starter with four substitutes.

Ward, Matt Barnes, Witherspoon, and Zhizhi Wang.

Such a lineup can give Mo Xi enough interior space to fully play to his advantages, and once the Spurs start to wrap up, the Knicks' outside players can ensure their threat outside the three-point line, and with a Witherspoon to assist Mo Xi in impacting and protecting rebounds, the Knicks' bench lineup can really be used as the starting lineup of many midstream teams.

After the Spurs replaced Duncan, the starting lineup did not change, and four men came on the court with Malik Rose. Without Duncan, the Spurs can only rely on the poster at the end of his career to restrain Moxi.

For the general's defensive mexi, Popovich didn't have any confidence at the beginning, he only hoped that the admiral could let Duncan rest for three minutes, as long as he ensured that the Knicks couldn't catch up within three minutes, and Popovich also vaguely hoped that David Robinson could slightly consume some of Moxi's physical strength, after all, Popovich's arrangement was to let Duncan go all out to fight against Moxi at the last moment without worrying about the distribution of physical energy.

Two minutes later, Popovich called a timeout with a cold face, and he looked at the admiral's dejected expression, and he was thinking that next year, he might never see this big man again.

"Admiral" David Robinson was once again blown up in the playoffs after many years, although this is already the Finals.

Originally, the general still had a slight psychological shadow on the blood cap that Mo Xi gave him, and when facing Mo Xi, he always couldn't help but recall that thunderbolt-like cap on a sunny day. The admiral suddenly hit a spirit, and when he looked up again, he found that Mo Xi had rushed towards him with the ball, this is not Mo Xi's best back, but Robinson's best face frame, the general couldn't help but relax, but this relaxation, it's a bad thing, Mo Xi just raised his hand lightly in the face of the general, with a slight half-turn under his feet, and then saw the admiral pounce forward, but pounced, Mo Xi turned around directly to the basket, and scored the ball with a low hand layup.

Suddenly, Robinson felt that he was really back to when he faced the thirty-fourth, at that time, at that time, he could at least make some resistance, and he could still play on the offensive end, but now.

Since Duncan came to the Spurs, Robinson has taken the initiative to shoulder the burden of defense, reducing Duncan's pressure on the defensive end and allowing Duncan to better unleash his talent. Robinson's offensive talent and skill have been worn out over time.

On the offensive end, Robinson couldn't put pressure on Mo Xi at all, although Mo Xi's worst thing was to let go of the frame attack, but Robinson still couldn't beat Mo Xi in the field he was best at, and on the defensive end, Robinson was even more unbearable, and was shaken up by Mo Xi one after another, the older Robinson would not have relied on his own bounce to defend the opponent as much as he did when he was young, but this time, he didn't know how, he looked at every feint of Mo Xi like a real move.

The Spurs were a little overwhelmed by the strength of Moxi, and Popovich decisively called a timeout and replaced Duncan with Malik Rose to defend Wallace.

This is already Popovich's helpless move, and now David Robinson, at least in this game, is scrapped, and Popovich can only hope that Malik will defend Wallace.

But the reality is so cruel, Popovich's worst fears have appeared, Wallace is raging in the low post, Malik feels like Robinson just now facing Moxi, Wallace is almost doing whatever he wants on Malik's head.

However, Popovich's other plan succeeded, and Mo Xi had to think carefully about his physical allocation in every attack and defense, and Duncan's performance began to suppress Mo Xi.

Compared with Mo Xi's step, Duncan has to think carefully, Duncan, who rested for two more minutes, seems a little unscrupulous, but because David Robinson was unexpectedly beaten by Mo Xi and lost confidence, Wallace is difficult to solve this point, but Duncan does not dare to rashly let go of Mo Xi to make up for Wallace, even if Mo Xi is in a state of fatigue, it is not something that a mere Malik can deal with, and Duncan's hard to gain the upper hand was offset by Wallace.

As the offense of both sides became faster and faster, the offensive center of gravity began to drift outward unconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, Arenas and Parker became the protagonists of the game again, and neither of them could help anyone, but Arenas's three-point shot was better than the current Parker, and the Knicks still had a slight upper hand.

In the last minute, the Knicks narrowly pressed the Spurs by three points, and the final bayonet battle began.

The Spurs attacked first, the ball went directly to Duncan, and at the critical moment, the Spurs players trusted Tim Duncan incomparably.

Duncan is also not humble, what kind of team attacks at this time, who has the biggest grasp and who is on it. Duncan resisted Mo Xi and began to attack with his back, as an interior player who knows all the interior offensive skills in the world, Duncan's back-to-back offense is always terrifying, because you don't know which side he will attack from that side in the next second.

At the last moment, Duncan had no reservations, and all the strength of his body was used, pushing Mo Xi hard, and the two began to wrestle in the waist position.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed to be just a second-to-second duel, and in the perception of these two people, it seemed that it had lasted for a century, and in the end, Duncan won by a small margin, but he failed to achieve the result he wanted, and Mo Xi's body was slightly raised.

The contest of strength was over immediately, Duncan lowered his weight, lowered his shoulders, shook from side to side, slammed his back, stepped on his feet, turned and threw the basket backwards.

Mo Xi stepped forward to block and failed to touch the ball, but it perfectly interfered with Duncan's shot, and Duncan hit the iron!

Wallace quickly controlled the rebound, and the Knicks steadied themselves to pull the score away.

When the entire Knicks fell into position, the ball was directly handed over to Mo Xi, just like Duncan, Mo Xi was also deeply trusted by the Knicks.

It's just that so far in this game, Mo Xi has gritted his teeth and is holding on, and his willpower has begun to take over Mo Xi's body, but he still has to play this ball, because he is Mo Xi.

The decline in physical fitness brings a lack of confrontation, and Mo Xi has to ask for the ball in a slightly higher waist position, in this position, it is conceivable that Duncan will definitely guard against his back man ball, but it is better to ......

The brain was thinking, but Mo Xi's movements did not stop, he turned around directly, and Mo Xi spun into the middle.

Duncan slid back to the side to block Mo Xi's offensive line, but Mo Xi seemed to have been prepared, and pushed out in one step, forcing Duncan to follow half a step back, and then saw Mo Xi turn around directly and float back slightly, Mo Xi turned around and jumped back.

Just like the remake of the wave of offense and defense just now, Duncan couldn't block Mo Xi, and he simply stepped forward to interfere with Mo Xi with all his might.

It had already consumed a lot of physical strength, and under Duncan's defense, Mo Xi's hand shape was actually misaligned because of the long-term tightness of his palm, and his little finger involuntarily stood out.

It's iron!

Spurs were shaken.

Backboard!

Everyone is yelling loudly!

At this time, there are two people under the basket who are so eye-catching, two No. 20 standing side by side, looking at their arm-in-arm posture, those who don't know each other think they are old friends for many years, but in fact, they are enemies who don't share the sky.

Ginobili pressed Houston to grab the rebound, and the Spurs broke fast.

The outcome of this game seems to be about to be split in this wave of offensive and defensive transitions.

Ginobili dribbled forward, and in the face of Sprewell's pressing, Ginobili decisively passed the ball to Stephen Jackson, Jackson went to the front court near the three-point line, and quickly passed the ball back to Ginobili, at this time Arenas, Sprewell and Houston have all returned to the backcourt.

Ginobili made a quick choice, and he continued to break through, to the left three-point line, to draw the defense, and then slammed his shoulders and stuffed the ball straight into the middle.

Duncan follow up! Arians is the only one in the basket!

Arenas gritted his teeth and was about to pounce, even if he died, he would talk about Duncan even pulling down with the ball.

But Arians' strength doesn't seem to be enough, and maybe he will be beaten into 2+1.

Looking at Arenas' appearance, George Carr's heart was confused.

However, just when Duncan had already used his classic Lady Liberty dunk to jump, Mo Xi also arrived, he directly pressed Duncan's arm from behind, and touched the ball all the way along his shoulder, this time it was really pressed down with the ball, and Mo Xi organized the Spurs' offense with a foul.

The pressure came to Duncan.

Duncan walked to the free-throw line.

With a light breath, Duncan raised his hand for a free throw.

"Boom~"

Duncan watched as the basketball bounced out of the basket.

This time, it's too bad.

Duncan hit a second free throw, but the situation was still unfriendly for the Spurs.

The Knicks' offense, this is likely to be the Knicks' last offensive round, the Spurs will definitely adopt foul tactics, so George Karl didn't plan to let the Spurs have a chance to touch his players at all, the Knicks' serve actually sent a long pass directly through the defense laid by the Spurs, at this time the Spurs generals, including Popovich, are cold in their hearts, is it ......

Arenas appeared lightning near the center circle, received the ball and advanced, Arenas was empty in front of him, and half court was empty!

It was the goal!

At such a moment, Rao is Arenas also has some heart palpitations, he did not dare to go directly outside the three-point line as usual, Arenas hesitated, changed hands and dribbled the ball, and continued to attack under the basket, he planned to solve the game with a solid layup.

Death seems to be at hand.

The time in the entire SBC (former home stadium of Spurs, before A&T) arena seems to have been slowed down a bit at the moment, and everyone's breathing is so clear at this moment, and in a trance, Arenas's speed is getting slower and slower.

And a gray-white figure slowly, slowly, leaned up.

In an instant, everyone present, except for the two who were approaching, held their breath.

The gray-white figure of number twenty caught up with Arenas, and at this moment, time seemed to return to normal, and in a flash of light, Ginobili quickly pulled the ball down from behind.

Arenas panicked, this is the second time he has been so flustered, the first time was at the time of the draft, and now, at such a critical moment, Arenas actually made a mistake, which is so terrible for a young man in his early twenties, Arenas even felt his eyes hot, as if liquid was slipping.

Ginobili broke the ball, but didn't hold it steady, and Ginobili stumbled and drove the ball forward.

At this time, the Spurs are still two points behind, time is pressing, although Ginobili is also an old man, but after all, he is also new to the league, in such a big scene, it is impossible not to be nervous, Ginobili nervously bent his body low, and quickly moved forward under the ball under him.

But at this time, Mo Xi rushed out directly from the bottom line, and went straight to Ginobili, the distance of the half, from the start to catching up, Mo Xi didn't seem to even use two seconds, because Ginobili's center of gravity was pressed very low, so Mo Xi was simply a fish jump, and pounced towards the ball.

Ginobili was a little panicked, but he still did his best to adjust, he slapped the ball hard, bounced up, and then slid over Mo Xi, changed to the other side, and just when he thought he was safe, Mo Xi supported the ground with one hand, punched out, and smashed the ball directly out.

At this time, Duncan also caught up silently, he quickly stepped forward, trying to intercept the ball, the back court serve and the half court serve are two concepts.

However, the Knicks' people are all people who have the best fighting ability, and Wallace and Sprewell also jumped out of the game, rushed towards the basketball, and finally knocked the ball out of the court before Duncan, but it was a frontcourt serve.

But at this time, there is still not much time left, less than a second, 0.8 seconds, the time to shoot directly after receiving the ball, the Spurs are two points behind, and neither side is timeout, Popovich looked, a trace of eagerness flashed in his eyes, and asked the assistant coach to go with him, he directly stepped forward to put pressure on the referee, asking to return to the watch for a period of time, and at the same time handed a small note to the assistant coach, and the assistant coach hurriedly ran to Ginobili and Duncan, and handed the note to the two.

George Carr looked at Popovich and sneered, he thought the old man was just angry, but he turned his head.

"Alas! What are those three doing over there! Umpire! Umpire! Umpire! ”

By the time George Karl found out, it was too late, and Popovich returned to the bench with a satisfied smile, and as he walked, the old man suddenly turned back and smiled wickedly at the referee.

"Hey, hey, hey~"

The referee is clever, I can't keep my head bald next time, don't think of me as Crawford, this old boy.

Ginobili was still two meters away from the three-point line after receiving the ball, and he actually shot directly, and even this could not be regarded as a shot, this is XJBT, and as soon as he turned around, he threw the ball directly with the force of turning.

But George Karl, who was standing on the sidelines, was in despair, because this damn basketball was fucking like a score.

"Toot-"

Whistle Ball In!

Ginobili defeated the Knicks, and the Spurs won the first San Antonio game!
