In fact, Ye Xuan is not very interested in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, during the Warring States period of Japan, to put it nicely, it is a group of heroes who are divided, and in the era of fighting for power, it is difficult to say, isn't it just dozens of small villages going out to grab land under the leadership of the village chief? How big can Japan be? Divided into dozens of countries, basically the same as a larger city now divided into several districts, in the eyes of the angry Qingye Xuan, instead of calling it the battle of Tianwang Mountain, it is better to call it the battle of Chibi, and the battle of Guandu is a little more imposing.

In the history of the NBA Finals, there have been 28 previous 2-2 draws, including a fifth game to take a 3-2 lead and win the championship 20 times. Only the Pistons in 1955, the Lakers in 1962 and 1969, the SuperSonics in 1978, the Pistons in 1988, the Knicks in 1994, the Celtics in 2010 and the Spurs in 2013 suffered a 3-2 lead. In terms of probability, once you take a 3-2 lead in the finals, the odds of winning the championship will be 71.4%.

Interestingly, James has experienced two 3-2s. In the 2011 finals, the Mavericks won the fifth game, and after getting the match point, they broke through the Heat's home court and successfully won the championship. However, in the 2013 finals, the Spurs won the fifth game, and after getting the match point, it was the turn of the Heat to fight back, defend the home court success, and finally counterattack to win the championship. But that Finals was full of drama, with Bosh's frontcourt rebound and Ray Allen's life-saving three-pointer saving James' team to survive.

Fast forward to June 20th, and the Pacers flew to San Antonio early in the morning to prepare to stir up a storm on their opponent's home court that night, and strive to defeat their opponent and win the match point in this crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain. After all, in the finals, the teams that snatched the battle of Tianwang Mountain basically won the final victory, so this game is very important.

The game is about to start in the blink of an eye, and the Pacers still sent out the starting lineup from the last game, continuing to let Hill come as the starting point guard, and the Spurs did not change their starting lineup. As the referee tossed the ball high, the fifth Finals match between the two teams officially began, and this time Duncan didn't play the jump ball as he did last time, so Hibbert won the jump ball without any problems.

Pickled pepper received the ball from Hibbert, quickly passed the ball to Hill, and then ran to the front court with his head down, Hill slowly brought the ball to the Spurs halfcourt, and then began to observe the position of his teammates, Ye Xuan began to bury his head in the running position again, but this time, Ye Xuan's running position was not so useless.

Hill passed directly in advance when Ye Xuan slipped past the bottom line, Ye Xuan's running position just grabbed the basketball, and Duncan on the side had to come over to make up for Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan was not greedy, and sent the ball directly from Duncan's waist to Hibbert's hand with a low hand, assisting the latter to dunk easily.

The Spurs are still the same old routine, although Leonard played bravely in the last game, but the Spurs still did not rank him as the first choice on offense, but still chose to hoist the ball into the interior and let Duncan play the opponent alone. I have to say that Duncan is indeed one of the best power forwards in history, and at the age of 38, he still easily beats Hibbert with his back.

Hill once again controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, this time Pickle Pepper took the initiative to reach out for the ball, Hill did not hesitate, and directly handed the ball to Pickle Pepper, Pickle Pepper made a gesture after receiving the ball, signaling his teammates to open up the space, and then changed direction twice in a row to shake Danny Green in front of him, and then entered the Spurs' interior line, and was ready to force a dunk against Split, but was directly hugged by Split.

And after holding the pickled pepper down, there was no protective action at all, and the pickled pepper fell to the ground, and the referee immediately blew the whistle, and the pickled pepper got up with an unhappy face and wanted to find trouble with Split, but fortunately, Ye Xuan stopped the pickled pepper in time, so that the situation did not continue to deteriorate, but it can also be seen from this point that it is indeed worthy of the battle of Tianwang Mountain, as soon as it opened, it almost caused a conflict, and it seems that this game will not end easily.

Pickled pepper stood on the free throw line, and I don't know if it was because of what affected him after he fell just now, or because he was angry, so the first free throw actually smashed out of the basket, but fortunately, Pickled Pepper quickly adjusted his state after the first free throw missed, and then steadily threw the second free throw in.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, their tactics remained the same, continuing to let Duncan hold the ball inside and play Hibbert alone, if the opponent did not wrap up, Duncan's singles had a high success rate, and if Duncan was trapped, it would inevitably miss the outside players, thus giving the Spurs the opportunity to find an open shot by transferring the ball.

The idea is good, but this time the Spurs' abacus did not play well, because the malicious foul that Pickled Pepper received just now made Coach Frank very dissatisfied, so when Pickled Pepper made a free throw, he had already secretly asked Ye Xuan and George Hill to secretly give Duncan a ruthless shot.

Ye Xuan was silent, while glancing at Hill next to him, and glanced at him, meaning that he wanted Hill to complete this 'difficult' task. Hill was also speechless for a while, and the dirty work really fell on his head in the end. However, Hill was still very decisive and shrank directly to the inside line when Duncan received the ball and hit it back, and then slapped it directly before Duncan could pass the ball out, hitting Duncan in the arm.

The referee still blew the whistle immediately, but there was no further penalty, and the rest of the Spurs team didn't do it, and immediately surrounded this side, and the Pacers generals of course would not watch their teammates being bullied by the opponent, so they immediately surrounded them, and the scene was very chaotic in an instant, but fortunately, the referee reacted in time, immediately whistled to remind, and then separated the players of the two teams.

Then the referee discussed a few more words with the linesman, and then called the coaches of both sides, telling them that similar deliberate retaliatory fouls are not allowed in this game, otherwise they will be directly punished for malicious fouls, and at the same time, I hope that the coaches of the two teams can restrain their players, and hope that they can pay attention to their actions.

Coach Frank and Mr. Zhuge were noncommittal about this, originally arranged this kind of foul to let the referee pay attention to the scale of the game, otherwise it would really cause any conflict at that time, and it would be a big trouble, especially if this is still on the stage of the finals.
