In the first quarter of this game, the Spurs blossomed more and played a rare efficient offense, which would have been a double-digit lead if it had been placed in the first few games. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But in this game, the Knicks lacked Lehi's play and ended the first quarter with a 29-28 lead.

It is also relatively rare for the two teams to score close to 30 points in a single quarter, and their offensive power finally came into play under the suffocating defense.

When most of the main players on both sides were resting below in this quarter, Ginobili broke out without warning, three points, layups, and fouls, leading the Spurs to overtake the score and lead by 5 points at once.

After the main team returned, Duncan played another efficient attack on the inside, and the score gap between the two sides reached double digits.

Some of the reporters watching the game have already sent out prepared scripts, and the Knicks are desperate for offense, losing defense and collapsing.

But immediately Lehi hit Bowen and Oberto to make a 2+1 in a row, chasing the score back, and then Marbury and Francis also hit the basket and caused damage, much to the surprise of reporters who watched the game with colored glasses.

Lehi's scoring was like he couldn't stop, but the Spurs weren't far behind, with Parker and Duncan always playing efficiently.

At halftime, the two sides were tied at 58-58.

Although the scores of both sides were higher than before, the intensity of the competition did not change at all.

The strength is close to this level, and it really has to fight for details.

To be honest, if they can beat Duncan down, they will definitely win, and Duncan is not only getting the data from the inside, but also has too much impact on the Knicks' style of play.

It's just that Duncan is extremely smart and has enough experience, so it's not easy for him to make six fouls.

The pinching was a yes, and it benefited Parker and Ginobili a lot.

For Lehi's defense, the Spurs insisted on not pinching, but if he passed Bowen's defense, he would come over as soon as possible, that is, the Spurs had this confidence, and the previous teams more or less had pinched Lehi, and they were completely restricted.

Since the Spurs are so confident in their defensive system, Lehi can't let the opponent down.

Lehi hit a three-pointer in the third quarter, followed by consecutive hits to make Bowen lose his temper.

But Parker still felt hot and hit a rare three-pointer, and Duncan was caught in a lot of fewer opportunities, but he had a super grasp ability.

After Ginobili came up, he also broke through very sharply.

These factors made the Spurs not think there was any big problem with Lehi's scoring streak, because their offense was rarely smooth.

Lehi scored 35 points in the third quarter, but the team trailed by one point at 88:89.

It seems that he has a serious consumption of playing like this, but in fact, compared to the time against James, he doesn't need to exert much strength on the defensive end in the face of the Spurs, and his physical strength is still very abundant.

It's that the Spurs' offensive efficiency is so high, which is a bit abnormal.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lehi rested as usual, and Ginobili had already scored 20 points, and this time it was his matchup with Crawford.

But maybe it was too hard to break through too much in the front, and in the final quarter, Ginobili felt that his shooting percentage dropped.

Crawford exploded at this time, hitting two three-pointers in a row to put the Knicks in the lead.

The Spurs hurriedly replaced the main forces one after another for the final showdown.

Duncan grabbed the frontcourt basket after coming up, but the shot was missed, and the Knicks' defense of him was at the highest level at any time.

Duncan, who is also 31 years old, has been playing against two Knicks players for most of the game, and his stamina has finally developed some problems.

And after Li Hai played, he immediately broke through to score a layup, without the slightest fatigue.

At this time, the Spurs realized that they wanted to control the rhythm, but they brought the rhythm when it felt good, and now it is difficult to go back.

The decline in physical strength, the key is the decline in Duncan's physical strength, which greatly reduced the control of the Spurs.

At 5 minutes and 34 seconds, Lehi grabbed the frontcourt basket and made a basket, and the Knicks led by 6 points.

The Spurs quickly called a timeout, mainly to interrupt the Knicks' offense and give the players a break.

After the timeout, the Spurs showed a fluid attack, and Duncan was caught in the low post and passed to Parker to complete the score.

But in the end, Lehi hit another two-point shot, which was terrifyingly rough.

Next, Duncan struck iron twice in a row, and he had no feel at all.

At 2:14, Lehi hit a three-pointer under the cover of his teammates, and the Knicks' lead extended to 10 points.

Then, although Ginobili also hit a three-pointer, Duncan also grabbed a rebound in the front court and hit a rebound.

But Lehi and Marbury also scored five points in a row, and the clock had entered the last 30 seconds, and the Spurs had no chance in this game.

With Horry's shooting, the Knicks won 118-109 in the fourth game, and the two sides tied 2-2.

Lehi's 48 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals made the Spurs feel his offensive power completely, and he is a player who is fully capable of tearing a big hole in front of the Spurs' impregnable defense with his individual ability.

Their previous tactics against Lehi, or some problems.

After the game, Spurs head coach Popovich also thought that they should pay more attention to Lehi.

Now that the Spurs have also lost a home court, the outcome of the finals has become confusing, and the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the fifth game will definitely be extremely fierce.

As expected, Game 5 between the Knicks and the Spurs was very tangled.

The Spurs finally made the decision to pinch Lehi, and on their final home court, the Spurs managed to slow down the pace of the game.

It's not just the Knicks who are affected, but Spurs big man Ginobili is also out of form.

Crawford was similarly cold to the touch, and the rhythm was completely cut off by the Spurs' rough defense.

Lehi still scored 30 points, most of which were mid-to-long-range jumpers, but the rest of the team, although not as crazy as Crawford, were also dragged down by the slow pace.

In the last few seconds, Parker, who had hit the iron more than a dozen times before, hit a three-pointer, and the Knicks lost by 1 point.

Now they are completely on the precipice, and when they return to their home stadium, they can no longer afford to fail.

"Yes, as long as we lose one more game, the finals will be someone else's, since there is only one game, can't you wait any longer, just watch the game."

The reporter's tricky question was once again scolded back by Li Hai.

Win or lose, it's come to the last moment, and he has to fight with all his might.

Whether it is a rebound that can't grab the opponent or face a pinch, he doesn't care, the real powerhouse will always be the last one to smile. (To be continued.) )
