Free throws have once again become Duncan's hard injury, and there are many examples of his team losing because he missed free throws, but this time, he trembled and hit one of two free throws, and the two teams were tied.
In the next wave of offense, Billups sat and played Parker Jr., which was almost the most secure scoring method for the Pistons, the weight difference between the two people was 11 kilograms, Parker desperately stared at Billups behind his back, and finally Billups missed the ball and did not put the ball in the basket, Parker wiped his sweat and was very happy in his heart - fortunately, TM drank two more bottles of six walnuts before the game.
Then the Spurs possessed the ball, with only 16.9 seconds left, Ginobili made the last attack, but his strong attack was blocked by Big Ben, and the ball jumping in the air was slapped by Big Ben! Twice in a row at the last minute to block Ginobili!
After the ball was blocked, Ginobili glanced at Big Ben and said,
"Damn, why are you so awesome!"
"We have Oriental Divine Objects!" Big Ben said confidently.
In overtime, the Pistons, who ate the little spicy strips, became more and more courageous, Billups missed the shot, Prince took the offensive rebound into his arms like a divine soldier, and then passed the ball back to Billups, who returned the favor and sent an assist to Prince, Prince scored 2 points, and then Billups forced Parker, Parker secretly said,
It's not good, the age of six walnuts has passed!
Parker could only pull Billups, who also hit two free throws, and at the critical moment, Parker hit the Pistons basket and scored two points on a layup in response, but on the Pistons' side, Rasheed Wallace also scored two points, and the game ended with 1 minute and 43 seconds left, and the Spurs trailed by 4 points at 91:95!

Hamilton hurriedly stood on Horry's offensive line, Horry was not timid, but held the ball in one hand and burned the sky, and split the dunk with one hand with his left hand! The powerful impact also knocked Hamilton to the ground!
"Toot toot! Hamilton defensive foul! ”
You must know that Horry is 35 years old this year, and it is incredible to be able to complete such a wonderful dunk, after landing on the ground, Horry did not roar, nor roared, but pinched his left shoulder with his right hand-

But it's a pity that Horry's free throw didn't score, and then the Pistons became more and more courageous, Prince stole Horry's pass, Hamilton couldn't shoot, Big Ben desperately grabbed the rebound in the front court and passed it to Billups, but the bald head couldn't score, although they couldn't score repeatedly, but they managed to consume a lot of time until 9.5 seconds left in the game. Spurs are still two points behind, but this time they have the ball.
The frontcourt serve was in the hands of Ginobili who ran around the bottom line, Rasheed Wallace may have eaten too many spicy strips and burned his brain, and even chose to pinch Ginobili who had not yet turned around, the latter looked at the ten roads and saw Horry standing outside the three-point line at the top of the left arc, threw the ball, and Horry received the ball without hesitation! Three-point shooting!

Horry smiled and said,
Bald, have you ever heard of seven walnuts? madechina shandong.
In the sixth game, Popovich insisted on using Ginobili to control the ball as the starting point of the tactic, Ginobili also passed a lot of good balls, but the feeling of helpless teammates was really average, and finally the Pistons, who fought better as a team, won the sixth game at the home court of the Spurs, and the score was tied 3:3, Ginobili scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Duncan also scored 21 points and 15 rebounds, Parker scored 15 points, and Pistons Hamilton scored 23 points, Billups had 21 points, six rebounds and six assists, and Rasheed Wallace had 16 points.

"No, no," Popovich shook his finger and unwrapped the package, and everyone was shocked!
"Eight walnuts! madechina hebei.”

The Spurs have not yet woken up from the shock, and the team's general manager Buford came, carrying a box of dairy products in his hand.
"Comrades, come, I brought it here from China, everyone make up for it quickly, and let go of the next game!"

The boss Holt personally brought it over, no one can help but drink, the generals have just unpacked, and suddenly there is a tall figure at the door of the locker room that Duncan, who is extremely familiar, he is a Chinese player, Duncan's good teacher***!
Seeing the teacher, Duncan was naturally extremely excited, he hugged ***, and suddenly saw *** also carrying a box of things in his hand, Duncan said tremblingly,
"What's this?"
He smiled honestly, put things on the table, and said,
"Wangzai, it's all walnuts ......"
In the seventh game, both teams sacrificed an extremely strong defense, the air seemed to be tense to freeze, the Spurs only scored 18 points in the first quarter under the Pistons' strong defense, but obviously, it was extremely difficult for the Pistons to score points, they only scored 16 points, in the second quarter, Big Ben doubled twice in a row on the inside line and a layup to lead the Pistons to counterattack, the first half ended the Pistons overtook the score with 39:38, and the offensive ability of Big Ben was not outstanding in the first half of 7 shots 6 of 12 points!

The score of the two teams was still scorched in the fourth quarter, and in the final five minutes of the game, Ginobili scored nine points, and he led the Spurs all the way to the Pistons until the end of the game. The Spurs won 81-74 against the Pistons.

The final finals MVP was still given to the team leader Duncan, which also made many bald honey regretful, shouting every day that Duncan owes the bald an MVP.
In the 2004 offseason, the Spurs renewed Robert Horry with a three-year contract worth a total of $10 million, and at the same time, the Spurs made a number of reinforcement signings while keeping the original roster unchanged, signing a four-year 12 million Argentine player with limited talent but hard work and good defensive ability and rebounding ability, and a little base salary worth $1.6 million to sign veteran Nick Van Exel.
Van Exel is the boss of the Lakers' early OK team, known as the grandfather of "XJBD", but at the end of his career, he had a lot of rules, his offense mainly relied on three-point shooting, in 2005, his three-point shooting percentage was second only to Ray Allen among active players, and he decided to retire last year, but the urge to chase the championship made him stand on the NBA court again, wearing the Spurs' No. 31 jersey. The most important addition of the Spurs this season is to sign the former Mavericks boss Michael Finley with a value of $2.6 million a year, and the Mavericks want to establish a leadership team headed by Nowitzki, so Nash and Finley have left the Mavericks, among which Finley was cut by the Mavericks with amnesty clauses, when Finley flowed into the free market, it caused many teams to chase, but the idea of a championship made Finley choose the Spurs, and this season's Finley mainly contributed to the Spurs' bench, He averaged 10.1 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.
This season, the Spurs' Parker has become the team's offensive arrow, he can average 18.9 points and 5.8 assists per game, this performance also made Parker selected as an All-Star for the first time, Duncan averaged 18.6 points and 11.0 rebounds per game, Ginobili was hit by injuries, and only played 65 games this season, averaging 15.1 points per game. In the 2005-2006 season, the Spurs achieved a team-high 63-19 and entered the playoffs with the first place in the West, beating the Kings 4-2 in the first round, and in the second round, standing in front of the Spurs was the rebuilt Dallas Mavericks.
At that time, the Mavericks were extremely strong after reorganization, and the regular season hit a record of 62-22 second only to the Spurs, because the division ranking was suppressed by the Spurs, so it could only be ranked fourth, and the team with the most wins in the Western Conference playoffs was caught and killed in the second round of the playoffs!
Let's talk about this round of the series when it comes to the Mavericks, after all, 2006 is the year of Dallas, here is a brief write-up, after the Spurs defeated the Mavericks by 2 points in the first game, the Mavericks won three games in a row, forcing the Spurs into a desperate situation, the fifth and sixth games relied on Duncan and Ginobili to pull the score to the tiebreaker, the last game was very dramatic, 30 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter, the two teams tied at 101, and then Ginobili hit a key three-pointer, This shot is no less crucial than the three-pointer that Irving made in the final moments this year. The Spurs held a three-point lead with 21.6 seconds left at the end of the fourth quarter, and then Nowitzki broke through and rushed inside, according to common sense, this ball was put in by Nowitzki, because the Spurs led by 3 points, put the Mavericks by 2 points and then made free throws themselves, the advantage was still on their own, and they were able to successfully consume time, but in the end, Ginobili may have been plugged in his head by walnuts, and he really rushed up, Nowitzki was completely a bug-level performance in the playoffs this year, and he not only put the ball in the basket, but also caused Ginobili's foul, 2+1, the game went into overtime, in overtime, the Mavericks' secret weapon Desaquena Diogu played a huge role, he not only defended Duncan only 1 of 7 shots, but also grabbed a key frontcourt rebound, he also scored 3 points without offense, and finally the Mavericks defeated the Spurs 119-111 to advance to the Western Conference Finals, and then the Mavericks connected the Suns and the Heat, and finally won the 2006 NBA championship.
After the Spurs were eliminated by the Mavericks, Nick Van Exel was disheartened and announced his retirement, Nazel Mohammed was sent to the Pistons, Nesterovic was traded to the Raptors, and to make up for the loss of a two-dollar big man's interior line, the Spurs traded from the Jazz to defensive center Francesco Elson, who played half a season as a starter, averaging 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.
It is worth noting that this season's Spurs ushered in a god-level figure, he originally came to play for the Raptors, this year was his rookie sophomore, the Raptors grabbed the Spurs' center Nestrovic in his hands, and said to Buford,
People in the team, pick and choose.
At that time, the Raptors had the "Dragon King" Chris Bosh, the "Eyebrowless Man" Charlie Villanueva, the attacking guard Mike James, and the super breakup Jalen Rose on the bench, but Buford was not interested in these people, his target was only on the person who would be on par with Kobe Bryant in the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, this year, he landed in San Antonio, and played here for a whole decade, he, who is he!
