Chapter 353: Tenacious Spurs
Duncan scored continuously, and the Knicks couldn't ignore him anymore, so Li Wei had to send Nowitzki to replace Big Ben, and his height and long arms could be better at defending Duncan.
But when Big Ben came out, David Robinson's life was better. Nowitzki's defensive awareness and speed are a little worse than Big Ben's, and without the guy who is eyeing the ball next to him, the Admiral has scored two goals in a row against Garnett!
The difference is up to four points!
Teacher Song said: "At this time, you must be stable, and you can't give up the leading advantage." ”
Zhang instructed: "The Knicks have to be a big Yao, and Garnett can't stop Robinson." ”
Li Wei did not replace Da Yao, he knew very well in his heart that the 18-year-old Da Yao sometimes played a bright performance on the defensive end, but it was not stable enough, and the real defensive level was not as good as Garnett.
Robinson weighs the least of the four centers, and when playing against Garnett, he can't rely solely on his weight, but more on his own flexibility and awareness. If Garnett can't guard against Robinson, it won't be of much use to replace Da Yao.
Next, the Spurs defended twice more successfully, and then Avery Johnson was stopped on the offensive end and the referee gave a home whistle!
The little general hit both free throws, and the score was still 2 points away!
The momentum of the Spurs rose, and Li Wei had to call a timeout, rearrange the offense and defense, and send Stephen Jackson.
He hopes that this six-iron guy can get his touch back, after all, he has already scored 22 points before!
After the game restarted, the first tactic Knicks played, but then, Stephen Jackson had two consecutive irons!
The Spurs, on their side, scored another 4 points to tie the score!
At the village women's station, Director Zhang sighed: "This is the role of Tim Duncan." Don't look at him playing with an injury, his condition is not good, but his presence and absence are two things for the Spurs! ”
Teacher Song said: "After all, he is the one who almost won the MVP!" ”
Li Wei's brows have been wrinkled, the current Spurs give him the feeling that it is like the Spurs in the first three games, and he is invincible even if he racks his brains!
Yes, Duncan is back, gritting his teeth on the court with a knee injury, and scoring key goals, can the Spurs not go down and work hard?
However, the Knicks can't give up like this, the big score is 3:3, how can they fall short?
"Dirk, pay attention to the delay!"
"Steve, be tough, jam Avery Johnson for me!"
Under Li Wei's reminder, the Knicks also made some mistakes in the next time, and the score has been deadlocked!
In the last 4 minutes, the two teams were tied 90:90, and the Spurs attacked!
Duncan hit Nowitzki at the waist, Stephen Jackson packed forward, and then the Spurs' No. 21 gave the ball to Elliott!
Elliott raises his hand and hits a shot!
90:92, Spurs lead!
The Knicks attacked, Alan Houston slipped out of the baseline and received Nash's pass from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, and the opportunity was good, but he shot from afar!
The Spurs attacked, David Robinson singled with his back, Garnett died, and Nowitzki helped defend in time to snatch the ball!
The fans of the Alamo Arena sighed!
The Knicks who got the ball went on a fast break, Nash threw the ball far away to Alan Houston, Houston passed to Stephen Jackson, and Jackson actually came to an empty basket and didn't score!
The Knicks missed a chance to overtake the score!
Elliott, who was trailing behind, grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Spurs went back on offense!
With three minutes left, they are still two points ahead at home!
The ball is given to Duncan, and Duncan singles Nowitzki misses!
The Knicks attacked, Stephen Jackson ran out of the open space, Nash passed the ball in time, the latter made a mid-range shot, and continued not to score!
Costas said: "Jackson's hand suddenly feels as cold as ice, he doesn't score three-pointers, he doesn't score layups, and now he doesn't score mid-range shots!" ”
Doug Collins said: "Yes, but the Knicks still have to rely on him, and others feel worse!" ”
The Spurs attacked, the junior general handed the ball to David Robinson, and Robinson singled Garnett!
Nash packed in time, Robinson distributed the ball to Avery Johnson, Johnson missed the layup!
Because Nowitzki interfered with Johnson's layup when he made a layup, the referee blew a home whistle and awarded two free throws!
The junior general made one of two free throws, and the score became 90:93, and the Knicks trailed by 3 points!
The Knicks attacked, Garnett came out through the cover, shot one step away from the three-point line, and missed!
Costas said: "Garnett also missed, the Knicks are in danger!" ”
Doug Collins said: "There are only two minutes left in the clock, and this is the moment to decide the championship!" ”
The Spurs played another inside-out offense, and Elliott missed a three-pointer!
Garnett organized the offense in the high post and passed to Alan Houston, who hit a three-point iron!
The Spurs attacked, Duncan received the ball in the waist, and scored the key ball against Nowitzki's defense!
90:95!
Costas said: "Duncan scored two more points, which is amazing!" These two points are too crucial, and it seems that he really wants to replicate the miracle of Reed's return! ”
Doug Collins said: "The Spurs have a five-point lead, this game is really up and down! ”
Costas said: "At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks were leading by 15 points, and we all felt that the championship was stable. ”
Doug Collins said: "The main thing is that Stephen Jackson fell off the chain, and as soon as he dropped the chain, the whole Knicks team collapsed!" ”
Costas said: "It's not so much about dropping the chain, it's about playing extraordinary." I think Stephen Jackson played a few games beyond the norm, making everyone misestimate his strength, but in fact, the end of the third quarter and the fourth quarter today are his real level! ”
Collins said: "There is only one minute left in the clock, let's see if the Knicks have a chance to tie the score again!" ”
The other side of the globe.
Director Zhang sighed: "Oh, you can't play like this, won't this make the Spurs turn around!" ”
Teacher Song said: "Yes, the Knicks were originally leading by a big score, but the last quarter made the Spurs play with momentum. ”
Zhang instructed: "Coach Li must let Da Yao play, Da Yao's three-point accuracy, you see what the Knicks are called when they shoot in the fourth quarter, just smash the basket!" ”
Li Wei called a timeout.
In the last minute of the finals, with a five-point difference, the pressure on the players was really a bit high. He could tell that everyone was a little overwhelmed.
If he doesn't call a timeout, the next offense will be difficult to achieve!
After drawing two tactics on the tactical board, Li Wei explained them, and then asked, "Do you understand everything?" ”
"Understood!" They all replied in unison.
The two sides returned to the field, and Nowitzki actually stood in a high position to organize!
Nash passes the ball and goes around the screen from the other side!
Nowitzki passes!
Nash was still being chased by Avery Johnson, and the chances weren't great, but he shot!
No one has stood still, and the ball has been thrown by him!
"Bang!"
The ball is in! 3 points!
93:95!
"Oops!" Spurs fans are a little annoyed!
Costas said: "It's a very crucial three-pointer, and Coach Lee seems to trust the white point guard!" ”
Doug Collins said: "He doesn't trust it, Houston and Jackson have terrible hands!" ”
The Spurs attacked, and the ball went to David Robinson!
Knicks first time bag clip!
David Robinson saw Stephen Jackson surround him and decisively distributed the ball to Elliott!
Elliott hits the shot, but unfortunately it doesn't go in!
Seeing that the Spurs were missing, Director Zhang said excitedly: "The Spurs didn't score, and the Knicks still have a chance!" ”
Teacher Song said: "Yes, the difference is only two points, let's take a look at the next round of offense from the Knicks!" ”
The difference is only 2 minutes, and the clock is still 35 seconds!
The Knicks' tactics were executed very decisively, the ball was handed to Garnett, and Garnett broke through with the ball!
Duncan came over to help defend it, but his knee couldn't keep up, so he pushed Garnett hard!
But when the game comes to this moment, it's the Spurs' home again, and the referee definitely can't blow a foul!
Garnett stumbled and still scored the ball!
Costas said: "It's a draw, it's a draw!" With 26 seconds left in the game, the two teams were tied! ”
Doug Collins said: "Garnett scored the key goal! ”
