The Spurs won, as expected by the media, in this era that is still dominated by the inside, the shock of the Spurs twin towers is too strong.

In this case, most of the media is pessimistic about the Nuggets, believing that the Nuggets are likely to be swept miserably.

The Eastern and Western Finals are staggered, with the Eastern Conference Finals being played one day later.

On the evening of May 30, the Eastern Conference Finals were also decided, and in this game between the Knicks and the Pacers, the Knicks won on the road with a narrow advantage of 93:90.

This game was somewhat unexpected by experts, who did not expect the Knicks to win on the Pacers after successively beating the Heat and the Hawks.

For a while, the Knicks' momentum soared, and many media believed that the Knicks would create a new miracle and become the first team to advance to the finals from the 'Black Eight Miracle'.

After a day hiatus, the second game between the Nuggets and the Spurs has finally arrived.

This time, the Spurs continued to sit at home, and they had a solid lineup, always giving people the feeling of being old and strong, and finally beat the Nuggets again after a battle.

Unlike the previous game, this time the Nuggets were in a slump, whether it was Chi Liang or other players, their state was affected, and their shots were frequently hit.

The reason is simple, in addition to the away factor, they are also harassed by Spurs fans.

Just like Nuggets fans against the Trail Blazers, the Nuggets didn't get a good rest all night, and even their training was boycotted, causing the players to be in a worrying state.

The Nuggets' lack of output, let alone their fast break in the frontcourt, led to a rapid rout of the team, which, combined with the Spurs' strong defense, ended up scoring only 67 points, setting a new scoring ceiling this season.

After two losses, the Nuggets returned to Denver overnight and began to sit at home to meet the Spurs.

Unlike in the past, the Nuggets had four days off after two road games.

For the first two days, there was no training scheduled for the players to move freely, but it was forbidden to go to nightclubs and other places, and D'Antoni hoped that the players would recover as soon as possible.

On the third day, the team resumed training, and D'Antoni formulated some targeted training for the Spurs, as for whether it was effective, only comparison.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the night of June 4th, which was also the start of the third Western Conference Finals.

Before the start of the game, the Nuggets players had solemn expressions, and were easily defeated by the Spurs twice, this game cannot be lost, and if they fail again, it almost means that they are out.

Historically, no team has been able to turn the tide again after losing three games in a row.

So, the third game must be won!

This time, D'Antoni was not inspired, knowing that he could not afford to burden the players any more, otherwise it could be the last straw that broke the camel's back and backfired.

Amid the shouts of the fans, the time came to seven o'clock, and both teams were about to play.

Nuggets starters: Clark, Fortson, Williams, Ji Liang and Billups.

In this game, the Nuggets have changed again, with Ji Liang acting as a point guard and Van Exel continuing to lead the bench lineup.

Spurs starters: Robinson, Duncan, Sean Elliott, Mario Elli and Avery Johnson.

Compared to the Nuggets, the Spurs have not changed anything.

"Guys, kill them!" Chi Liang shouted loudly, and the first one stretched out his left hand.

"Kill them!" After he finished speaking, all the Nuggets players gathered in a circle, everyone folded their hands, and shouted loudly, and their enthusiasm was mobilized.

It's game on!

As in the previous two games, Duncan once again beat Clark in the jump ball and easily won the jump ball.

As in the previous two games, the Spurs are still dominated by positional battles and have little to no fast break.

After coming to the frontcourt, Johnson took control of the basketball and began to watch his teammates' movements, then passed the ball to Duncan.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Duncan shook his shoulders and hit a flip jumper at the moment when Fortson's center of gravity changed.

For this goal, Fortson said that there was nothing to be done.

The Nuggets weren't discouraged, and regardless of whether the Spurs were prepared or not, they opted for a quick serve.

At the first time, Ji Liang served quickly and passed the ball to Billups, who quickly carried the ball forward.

According to D'Antoni's arrangement, the Nuggets players all run, and in this case, the Spurs can only speed up the defense.

Unlike in the past, although the Spurs successfully returned to the defense, due to the short time, they did not close the defensive holes for a while.

Facing the diminutive Johnson, Billups hoisted the ball into the bottom corner.

At this time, it was not Elliott who was defending Chi Liang, but Eli, who was only 196 cm, with his height, how could he limit Chi Liang.

Without hesitation, Ji Liang raised the basketball.

At this moment, Duncan immediately abandoned Fortson and pounced on Chi Liang.

In the nick of time, Chi Liang endured the pain of his right index finger, and with a flick of his right hand, like a scalpel, the basketball flew into the restricted area, and the vacant Fortson received the basketball.

Before Robinson could make up for it, Fortson stepped forward and scored an easy dunk.

When it came to the Spurs' offense, the opponent once again relied on the absolute advantage on the inside line and scored easily again.

At the beginning of the game, Ji Liang did not attack by himself, but helped his teammates find their form, and if they wanted to defeat the Spurs, he couldn't do it alone, and his teammates had to stand up.

It's just that what makes Chi Liang speechless is that although the whole team is playing hard, the shooting rate is never high, and the basket seems to be covered, always hitting the iron.

Thankfully, the Spurs didn't feel much better, so they had a slight advantage.

By the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets trailed the Spurs by six points, 16-22.

After the end of the first quarter, the atmosphere of the Nuggets became more solemn, and some teammates were even more discouraged, and they shrugged their heads and did not dare to look up.

"It's just the first quarter, not to mention that we only lost by 6 points, so let's keep up the good work and try to win this game!"

D'Antoni started to cheer, but after the start of the second quarter, some of the Nuggets' players hadn't woken up from their blindfolded form. The Spurs, on the other hand, played better than the first quarter and quickly extended the score to double digits.

In this case, Chi Liang knows that only by doing it alone can he have a glimmer of hope of winning, otherwise the gap in the early stage is too big, and it will be difficult to make up for it.

The most important thing is that Elliott can't guard him, so Ji Liang turns on the individual scoring mode, using the cover of his teammates, as long as there is an open space, he can always throw the ball into the basket.
