Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Crucial Battle (End of the Fourth Watch)

After this game is played, it doesn't mean that it's over after the game, whether it's the Spurs or the Pistons, they have something to say.

The Spurs, of course, were not convinced, while the Pistons, on their part, were completely celebrating the victory.

In this game, the main reason why the Spurs lost was that almost all fans were in a slump.

Duncan, who is known as unwavering, looked good today although he got 16 points and 16 rebounds.

But just watch him play, Duncan's shooting percentage today is terrible, only 5 of 17 shots in the game.

There were also three mistakes, one of which made a top five goal today.

After the basketball was stolen, a long pass was made to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang passed Daben on his back, and Daben who kept up with him was dunked violently.

This goal alone is definitely the top of today's top five, and the Argentine demon knife, Ginobili, is also under the defense of Billups and Prince, and is in a slump again, except for a three-pointer in the first half, there is no goal.

The sluggish form is due to the Pistons' defense, and of course, there are also his own reasons, and his current form is really not very good.

And because the offense was blocked, the Spurs' defense was also not timely, after the Pistons broke the ball, Jiang Yang launched several fast breaks, and the main bench blossomed more, Big Ben 11 points and 13 rebounds, Billups 17 points and 7 assists, Hamilton 12 points and 9 rebounds, Prince 13 points, Rasheed Wallace 14 points and 8 rebounds, in addition to five starts, the bench also performed well, and Hunt contributed the team's first highest score like Billups under Jiang Yang's special pass, 17 points, McDies also scored 13 points, and seven members of the team scored doubles, but no one in the team scored more than 20, Jiang Yang only scored 4 points today, but he was the most flashy person on the court except for the starter.

Jiang Yang played 21 minutes today, and successfully passed 26 passes, 11 of which were all turned into assists.

Yes, 4 points, 11 assists and 1 rebound, such a result is enough for a bench.

Jiang Yang officially became the person with the highest number of assists in the game, and almost all of them received Jiang Yang's passes.

In comparison, the Spurs' performance today was too poor, only three of the team scored double-doubles, Duncan's 16 points were a team-high score, Parker only had 12 points on 6-of-13 shooting, and only a pitiful 4 assists, and Ginoyan's Billy shot 4-of-9 from the field.

Of course, after the game, Larry Brown almost had the words "I'm very satisfied" written all over his face.

And Jiang Yang, who was on the bench, was also highly praised by him, Jiang Yang's characteristic is that he can play any kind of person.

This time the random selection, except for the attack is S-, the rest are basically very reliable.

There is no obvious weakness, and there is a relatively strong point, which is one of the reasons why Jiang Yang is the happiest.

That night, Jiang Yang and the others went back to sleep, preparing for the arrival of the fifth battle, the second key battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Jiang Yang and they were sleeping, but at this time, the other side of the ocean was not so stopping.

The news of Jiang Yang's appearance, like a hurricane, swept across Asia, and some people remember that this Jiang Yang should be the Jiang Yang who helped the Lakers defeat the Kings in 02, but in the past three years, Jiang Yang has no news at all, and suddenly appeared in the finals again, and the combat effectiveness is quite strong, helping the Pistons draw 2-2 with the Spurs, although Jiang Yang played a very small role in this game, but it seems to fans in China, no matter how small, it is also very big, On the evening news in China, Jiang Yang was also specifically mentioned.

And the sports channel also replayed Jiang Yang's game today, and it was also proposed in the sports news that Jiang Yang should return to the national team, if Jiang Yang can return to the national team, with Jiang Yang and Yao Ming, it will be beautiful...... Of course, there are also some Rocket players who support Jiang Yang to go to Rockets and the like.

But these have nothing to do with Jiang Yang, early the next morning, he still came to the stadium on time, because he has to train hard today and prepare for the fifth key battle tomorrow, and Jiang Yang's performance yesterday was good.

completely revitalized the entire Pistons bench lineup, so Larry Brown looked at Jiang Yang today, and he was always happy, but when he looked at Milicic lying there next to him, he couldn't get angry.

Jiang Yang also thought about helping Milicic, but it seemed that he was not ready to let others help.

The format of the finals is 2-3-2, that is to say, first two Spurs home games, then three consecutive Pistons home games, and then two Spurs home games, such a grand final, giving the weaker side of the team a great chance, because they have three consecutive home games, these three home games, they can take a good rest, and at the same time can also take advantage of the home advantage, win each other in one go, as long as the three home games are won, just win another game, you can successfully take the O'Brien Cup.

Everyone knows the key to this game, and all the preparations on both sides are very attentive and definitely don't want to slack off.

In China, this game is called the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain was originally an allusion from Xiao Yueben, I won't say much here, anyway, it represents a very important battle, this game is won, it is likely to be the turning point of the finals, before the game starts, the head coaches on both sides are very confident and want to win each other.

On Sunday, June 19, 2005, at 7:30 p.m. US time, the most important game of the fifth game officially began.

Outside the Auburn Hills Palace has been crowded with cars, many fans have not bought tickets are sitting outside the arena, waiting for the first time to know the news inside, after the fourth one-sided game, the fans finally waited for a cruel tug-of-war, of course, this wait is only for the Spurs and neutral fans, those Pistons players, can't wait to watch their team, four consecutive one-sided wins of the O'Brien Cup, of course, there are some people who want to watch the seventh game.

As soon as the game began, both sides began to attack, and as soon as the game began, the two sides hit each other, and the score rose alternately.

In the second half of the first quarter, Jiang Yang did not play, and after Hunter did not have Jiang Yang to feed the ball, he became a soy sauce player again, and at the end of the first quarter, the Pistons had a two-point advantage of 23-21, slightly ahead of the Spurs.

And at the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs began to attack, Jiang Yang also came to the court at this time, Jiang Yang's passing, penetration surname is particularly strong, although under Bowen's defense, Jiang Yang has no way to score, but his pass is not Bowen's defense, with Jiang Yang's several assists, the Pistons barely let the Spurs overtake.

But after the main players came on the court, the tug-of-war continued, and the defense of the Pistons and Spurs was like two strong old ladies, pinching up endlessly...... At the end of the second quarter, the Spurs in turn won by two points at 21-19.

At the end of the half, the two sides were tied 42-42, and the real deciding will depend on the second half of the game.

And as soon as the second half began, the Pistons made a big mistake, and that was about Robert Horry.

Horry replaced Mohammed in the second half, and after coming on, Horry, who had not scored a point in the first half, hit a three-pointer.

The Pistons were stunned for a moment, but then the Pistons also hit a three-pointer by Billups.

Billups' three-point shooting wasn't great, though, and he had made five shots and hit just one of them before that.

Now he shot the sixth and hit the second, and the Pistons were unstable except for Jiang Yang.

This is also the main reason why Larry Brown gave Jiang Yang the court at the beginning, the Pistons need an outside battery.

But no one thought that Jiang Yang would become better and better, watching Huo Li's play, Jiang Yang's brows furrowed.

"Coach, Horry seems to be feeling great today!" Jiang Yang, who had been teammates with Horry, rubbed over to Larry Brown's side and whispered, listening to Jiang Yang's words, Larry Brown also smiled slightly.

"It may have just been an accident, but I'll be careful." Larry Brown laughed for a moment and then replied to Jiang Yang.

And it turns out that this is not an accident, and then Horry began to score constantly, Duncan, who was originally restricted, now has to release a Radsch Wallace to defend Horry, and a large Ben, wanting to defend Duncan, is not easy, fortunately, the Pistons' offense is also not bad, and they have been biting the Spurs' score......
