Chapter 640: Tenacious Piston
"Hello, Tim, congratulations!"
"Congratulations on what? I didn't know I had something to congratulate right now? ”
"Congratulations on knocking out the SuperSonics, congratulations on finally touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals again after I left, keep up the good work, I'm waiting for you in the Finals, hahahaha。。。。。"
"Neurotic!"
"Hello? Feed? Hung up so quickly, no sense of humor at all. Before he finished what he wanted to say, he was hung up by the incomprehensible Duncan, but after dialing it again, it was a busy tone, Meng Xu could only put down the phone in his hand stupidly, and then laughed like a neurotic for a long time.
The Spurs and SuperSonics series finally settled tonight, after being moved to 2-2 by the SuperSonics in two consecutive games, the Spurs did not dare to continue to hide their strength, in the key battle of Tianwang Mountain, the unreserved Spurs were pressing the SuperSonics from beginning to end, and finally with Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobilli, and Tony Parker all scoring 20, the Spurs won the battle of Tianwang Mountain by 13 points at home, and pulled this round of the series back to their advantage.
And in the final battle tonight, the Spurs and the superSonics star Tim Duncan and Ray Allen are two crazy iron, one 21 shot 6, one 25 shot 10, this crazy iron battle lasted until the second half of the third quarter to get a little better, affected by the two leading stars, most of the Spurs and SuperSonics players, the hand is not very good, in the sound of the iron in the two sides alternately lead, when the game has the last 14 seconds left, Antonio Daniels hit two free throws, The two sides fought to a 96-all draw, and in the last attack, Tim Duncan, who had played 15 irons in the previous game, after receiving a pass from Ginobili, hit a basket and hit a hook shot under the bag of Jerome James and Reggie Evans, laying the victory for the Spurs, 98-96, the Spurs who were fighting away relied on Tim Duncan's quasi-stunner to defeat the SuperSonics, thus eliminating the SuperSonics with a score of 4-2 and reaching the Western Conference Finals again after four years.
Although there is still a series of games before the finals, Meng Xu, who has long been looking forward to meeting the Spurs in the finals, dialed Duncan's phone about an hour after the game between the Spurs and the SuperSonics, wanting to congratulate Duncan, and by the way, hoping that Duncan can make more efforts, but unexpectedly, Duncan unceremoniously hung up Meng Xu's phone, which made Meng Xu embarrassed.
"The Pistons and the Heat haven't finished playing yet?" After feeling a little cold on the balcony, Meng Xu, who hung up the phone, returned to the living room, but after seeing the game still going on on on the TV, Meng Xu showed a surprised expression, the game between the Pistons and the Heat only started half an hour later than the Spurs and the SuperSonics, but the game between the Spurs and the SuperSonics ended for more than an hour, and the game between the Pistons and the Heat continued.
"It's going to be a second overtime soon, I thought the Pistons were going to lose." After the game between the Spurs and the SuperSonics, Meng Xu changed the channel to the game between the Pistons and the Heat, when the fourth quarter of the game between the two sides had just begun, and the Heat led the Pistons by 8 points at most.
"This Pistons are really tenacious, a lot better than last season, you don't want to underestimate them." Just after Meng Xu sat down, He Hui walked out of the kitchen with a supper.
"No, I'll take every opponent seriously." Smiling at He Hui, Meng Xu pulled the laptop on the coffee table to his side.
"That's good." Although Meng Xu was very serious when he spoke, He Hui still saw the indifference in Meng Xu's expression, since last season, the Pacers have rarely lost against the Pistons, so the Pacers have always believed that the Heat is their biggest opponent in the East, as for the Pistons, in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the Pacers swept the Pistons out cleanly, so the Pacers have a very psychological advantage when facing the Pistons.
Meng Xu, who didn't want to miss this wonderful clip, took advantage of the fact that the two sides were still resting, and immediately searched for the video clip of the game between the Pistons and the Heat on the Internet, with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Pistons still trailed the Heat by 7 points, but in the last 5 minutes, the Pistons actually beat the Heat 17-10, Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Ron Artest, the Pistons Five Tigers are in full bloom, and the opposite Heat, With the exception of Shak O'Neal's five points and Dwyane Wade's two, no one scored, and the Heat were dragged into overtime by the Pistons with a seven-point lead.
After entering overtime, because O'Neal's physical strength dropped severely, the Heat could only pin all their hopes on Dwyane Wade, and Dwyane Wade also lived up to expectations, shooting 3 of 5 in overtime, 3 of 3 free throws, and got all 9 points of the Heat in overtime, but the opposite Pistons did not let it go, Chauncey Billups scored 5 points, Richard Hamilton scored 4 points, and the Heat and Pistons were about to play an overtime again.
"The Heat are dying." After a brief glance at the video, the second overtime between the Heat and the Pistons has already begun, and neither side was able to score in the first two minutes of overtime, but Meng Xu can clearly feel that the balance of victory has begun to tilt towards the Pistons, and Shaq O'Neal, who has been on the court for more than 50 minutes, is very difficult to even accelerate and jump, as for Dwyane Wade, who has just made a big show in the first overtime, under the strict defense of Ron Artest and Richard Hamilton, It's hard to connect the ball on the court, let alone keep showing, and in this case, the situation is already clearly a little unfavorable for the Heat.
"This flounder!" After three consecutive offenses were unsuccessful, the Pistons finally relied on Chauncey Billups' "wave shot" to overtake the score, such a critical game, at a critical moment, several players on the court of the Pistons treated every offensive opportunity very cautiously, very careful, and never shot without vacancy, but in this offense, Chauncy Billups forced a three-point shot under the defense of Damon Jones, but it was very strange that Chauncy Billups hit this very unreasonable strong shot.
"The Heat are going to lose." After Chauncey Billups hit a three-point shot, the Heat, who were eager to move back to the score, made a mistake in the next offense, and Ron Artest, who successfully broke the ball, scored quickly, and with a little more than 2 minutes left in the game, the Pistons widened the gap to 5 points, and the Heat, who were physically exhausted and demoralized, were already difficult to move back.
In the end, after two overtime battles, the Pistons defeated the Heat 109-114 at home, bringing the series to 3-3.
