Chapter 602: Ownership of the Divisional Champion
However, the Spurs are not panicking, the GDP is all on the court, and the three old guys have played more playoff games together than the entire Thunder team.
Parker advanced to the frontcourt, Ginobili singled Harden, and the Spurs still played this way.
Harden pushed forward, but Ginobili was fast and passed him directly.
However, at this moment, Westbrook made up for the first time, and Ginobili soon fell into a situation of being caught between the front and back.
This is also the advice given by Tang Tian, selectively let go of a person.
Ginobili reacted quickly and threw his hand to Parker, who broke through the middle after receiving the ball, and the small throw was interfered with by Ibaka, and the rebound was also collected by Ibaka.
The scene instantly erupted into a louder cheer.
Even if they don't know the ball very well, they can still see the adjustment on the Thunder court, and this adjustment worked from the start, which is definitely a positive sign!
After the defense, the Thunder's on-court players also had a lot of confidence, Westbrook missed a layup under the basket, but Tucker, who followed up, added the ball.
The Thunder went on a 4-0 run.
The Spurs' offense, under the instruction of Popovich, Ginobili also played Harden, and Parker's throw was still interfered with by Ibaka, but this time Duncan did not give Ibaka another chance, and directly stuck the position to make up the ball to the basket.
No matter how good the defensive rotation is, it can't be done in an instant, and Duncan Sr. saw through the shortcomings of the Thunder in doing so.
Stevens looked a little helpless on the sidelines.
Tang Tian's suggestion did work, but as Tang Tian described, this was a bottom line, that is, there was no way to do it. Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.
The game on the field continues.
Harden's defense is no longer so obvious because of the help defense, but the Thunder's restricted area defense has been tested a lot, whether it is Parker's impact or Duncan's rebound, which makes Ibaka a little careless.
While the Thunder's offensive form looked good tonight, the Spurs didn't play softly in key games either.
At half-time, the two sides were tied at 45.
In high-intensity games, not only is the defensive intensity particularly high, but the physical consumption of both sides is also great.
In other words, the Thunder still had the advantage in the second half.
Before halftime, a staff member came up to Tang Tian and said that he wanted him to participate in the midfield shooting to win millions of cash, and it could be seen that the stadium was also racking his brains for this game.
Tang Tian didn't refuse, he went down to play, maybe he could let Hathaway and Swift in front of the TV steal Lele.
At halftime, when the host called Tang Tian down, the entire arena went crazy.
Tang Tian had never done this job before as a coach.
Because of the exception, the stadium gave three chances.
Tang Tian warmed up his hands, and he also played ball on the private court when he was free at home, and the ball sense was still there, and the midfielder threw it hard.
For the first time, I threw a rebound straight away.
Tweaked a little for the second time.
This time I smashed the rebound, but unfortunately it was still a little far from the frame.
On the last attempt, Tang Tian aimed for a while, and after throwing it out with all his might, the trajectory was very positive.
"Bang!"
But it's a pity that although the shot was on target this time, the force was slightly greater, and the ball still smashed out of the basket, ushering in an uproar at the scene.
"Another chance." When the host was about to come up, Tang Tian stretched out his hand and made another chance.
Of course, the host will not lose face.
Amid the cheers of the live DJ, there was also a burst of cheers from the scene.
Tang Tian's fourth attempt.
This time, the ballistics were very positive, and the strength was almost perfect, and some fans could not help but cheer.
"Bang!"
But unfortunately, the ball hit the basket the moment it went in, and it popped up again.
The scene was full of regret, and Tang Tian also shook his head with a smile.
At this distance, even if Curry comes, he may not be able to throw it four times, and it is really good to be able to shoot like this.
The host saw that Tang Tian had something to say, so he handed the microphone over.
"It's definitely a difficult shot, just when I shoot, I don't use the 1 million rewarded by the stadium, I donate 1 million to the Alliance Charity Foundation to help people in need."
Tang Tian's words shocked the fans at the scene, but it was followed by a burst of cheers.
Many people remembered that Tang Tian was still the little boss of Thunder, such a kind act made his image more and more lofty, and the atmosphere at the scene became more and more hilarious.
After the lively half-time break, as soon as the second half returned, the home fans opened their voices to cheer for the home team.
However, the Thunder team came back from a half-time break, and the feeling suddenly dropped sharply, and the Spurs accumulated an advantage little by little, and the difference was stretched to double digits after more than half a quarter.
There was a commotion at the scene, and Tang Tian was also a little helpless.
This feels bad, and it really can't be saved by any tactics.
But fortunately, in the second half of the third quarter, the Spurs had physical problems, and the Thunder took advantage of the situation to chase back the difference, and when it came to the decisive stage of the fourth quarter, the two sides stood on the same running line again.
When the tie-break reached the moment of life and death, many fans at the scene were so nervous that they unconsciously shook their legs, and those with bad hearts were a little afraid to look at it.
The two teams also showed their full strength at this time, and the offense and defense in each round played at a super high level.
Durant hit **** Leonard with his back, and when he turned around, Duncan received the ball in the low post and bypassed Ibaka's turn and hit the board into the frame.
Ginobili's signature serpentine break scored one, and Westbrook's violent dash got two free throws.
Both teams played until the last minute without a winner.
In the final 20 seconds, the Thunder still trailed by one point, and Durant played Leonard in the low post.
Leonard proved his defensive prowess in the first two games, and he was not afraid of the stage in this one-on-one.
However, Stevens played a small tactic at the critical moment, and when the Spurs' attention was on him, Westbrook's open cut opportunity, Durant threw his hand and passed the ball.
Westbrook scored a flying layup! Helped the Thunder overtake the score!
The scene was blown up directly.
Tang Tian felt this atmosphere for the first time on the bench, and it was really a little different from when he was on the sidelines.
With about 10 seconds left in the game, the Spurs called a final timeout.
At this time, as long as the Thunder team defends the Spurs' last offense, the door to the Finals will be open to them.
And after this twist and turn, this team has become obviously mature, and in the face of the weakened Heat team, they have considerable confidence in winning the championship.
Tang Tian was also standing and watching the game at this time.
After the timeout, Parker dribbled to the frontcourt, the Spurs went straight to the frontcourt, and the ball was finally handed to Ginobili, where he faced Harden, a trademark serpentine break, to the basket to meet Ibaka's defense, and the shot in the drift directly.
