The crucial fourth quarter began, with Lee Wei letting the in-form Stephen Jackson play small forward, Alan Houston replacing Bowen and Nowitzki replacing Garnett.

At this time, Li Wei's mood was complicated, he hoped that Bowen would play tougher, but he didn't expect Bowen to be so tough that he actually abolished Duncan!

Then again, the round in which Bowen scrapped Duncan was not a good defense, and keeping such a person on the court really can't help the team.

"Give me the ball!" David Robinson saw that the margin was chased to four points and decided to take over the game.

Junior General Johnson passes the ball immediately!

David Robinson takes a mid-range shot and scores 2 points!

74：68！

In the next few rounds, Robinson scored frequently, and the Spurs played a 10:6, and the difference widened to 8 points!

Garnett couldn't sit still when he saw that Nestor Lovic was beaten, and asked Li Wei: "David, you let me play, I'll defend Robinson!" ”

"You're defending him?" Li Wei glanced at Garnett, then nodded, "Okay, then I'll hand him over to you!" ”

The four centers of the 90s actually have different styles.

David Robinson is the fastest of the four centers, the most versatile, with the ability to shoot and the basket, and is known as a seven-foot small forward.

Many people believe that Garnett is a shrunken and weakened version of David Robinson.

However, a person has strengths and weaknesses. The all-round David Robinson is better than the other three of the four centers in most of his skills, but he is a cut short of the most important center back play skills of this era!

His weight is also the lightest of the four centers, and his performance is not stable at critical moments, and it is easy to suffer when he encounters tough defenders!

The playoff stats are not as good as the regular season, and that's what David Robinson is most criticized about!

Although Garnett has been playing small forward and has not gained weight, it is not too difficult to defend David Robinson, who weighs only 107 kilograms. Now David Robinson has entered the twilight of his career, and his physical condition is not as good as before, and those speed advantages that can beat other interior lines can't be played in the face of Garnett!

Mike Brin said: "Garnett is on, he's replaced Nesterovic!" ”

Walter Fraser said: "Does he want to play center and defend David Robinson? ”

Mike Brin said: "Garnett is really one of the best defensive players for the Knicks, and in terms of height, he won't suffer like Big Ben and Big Bo. But can he really stop Robinson? ”

Fraser said: "Just look at it, Robinson's weight is very light, if Garnett wants to prevent it, it may not be effective!" ”

While the two were chatting, the ball passed to David Robinson again, and Robinson squeezed Garnett to force a layup!

Fraser said: "Garnett is not out of position, he defends well! ”

Mike Brin said: "But Robinson is still a little taller than him, it's hard to say this round!" ”

Garnett defended to the end, and it was indeed a little bad, but Big Ben flew over from the other side!

Robinson had already struggled to beat Garnett, and he couldn't afford to take care of the flying Ben, so he ate a big hat solidly!

"Smack!"

The ball is fanned off, and Stephen Jackson and Elliott scramble together!

Elliott, who is plagued by kidney disease, is the third scoring point for the Spurs this season, one is that the team has Duncan, he doesn't have many opportunities, and the other is that he has no All-Star strength due to his old age!

Now facing the young and vigorous Stephen Jackson, his old arms and legs are a little incomparable!

Jackson grabbed the ball, played a fast break, and then slammed the ball into the basket!

Mike Brin shouted, "Pretty, Big Ben's nice block, Jackson's nice fast break, this kid has already scored 20 points, right?" ”

Fraser said: "It's long gone, and today he has already scored 22 points!" ”

Mike Brin said: "Coming off the bench to score 22 points, that's amazing! ”

Li Wei didn't pay attention to Big Ben's block, nor did he pay attention to Stephen Jackson's score, but said to Garnett: "Kevin, defend beautifully, continue next time!" ”

"Hmm!" Garnett nodded.

His defense of David Robinson in that round just now was really good, if he hadn't squeezed Robinson into a very uncomfortable position, Big Ben wouldn't have been able to help defend in time and cover the ball!

This is what basketball games look like, and a lot of times the data doesn't show real value. Judging from the data, Big Ben has a block this round, Stephen Jackson has rebounds and scores, and Garnett has nothing, but he is the guy who really defends David Robinson and gives the Knicks the lead!

You go back and forth, Garnett fought with David Robinson in the next few rounds, and the Knicks No. 21, who was inferior in height and weight, was restrained by the opposite side!

David Robinson hit the iron again and again, and the Spurs' offense couldn't be opened, and on the Knicks' side, Stephen Jackson continued to feel hot!

With 3 minutes left in the game, the Knicks tied the score!

Popovich called a timeout, and then made some arrangements to save the situation, but how could Li Wei let him get his wish?

"Kevin, keep strangling David Robinson, okay?" Li Wei asked.

Garnett said, "Don't worry, he's been guarded by me!" ”

The Spurs without Duncan no longer have an advantage, and as long as Garnett continues to choke David Robinson, the situation is very simple!

Li Wei said: "Stephen, you have to keep an eye on Elliott, it's best that he can't even catch the ball!" Dabo, you play for a while, you must always pay attention to the defense, don't let Kevin and Robinson suffer when they face off! ”

"No problem!" Bo Outlaw nodded.

Li Wei looked at Nash again: "Steve, Kevin has to take care of the defensive end, and the team's offensive combing depends on you, you have to share the pressure for him to the greatest extent." Next we play the 16th and the 24th......"

After arranging the offense and defense, the two teams returned to the field. Under the Knicks' airtight defense, the Spurs played iron for two consecutive rounds, but the Knicks scored 2 points!

Mike Brin said: "The score is over, I will say we can win this game!" ”

Fraser said: "Don't jump to conclusions, there's still a minute!" ”

There were no surprises in the last minute, and the score was finally fixed at 81-89, and the Knicks won Game 4!

Duncan had 20 points and 12 rebounds, in addition to 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block before leaving the game with an injury. David Robinson also performed very well with 25 points and 10 rebounds, but unfortunately was locked up by Garnett at the last moment and could not help the team save the situation.

On the Knicks' side, Stephen Jackson, who came off the bench, scored a team-high 28 points. Alan Houston was a bit iron, scoring only 17 points, and Kevin Garnett was playing against David Robinson in the second half, with little physical energy to use on the offensive end, with only 16 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. Nash had 14 points and five assists.
