At halftime, the Knicks and Spurs were tied at 40-40. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At half-time, both sides were thinking about how to limit each other and how to improve their attack.

However, in the end, the emphasis is on strengthening the details, and some sideways teams of their level cannot achieve any effect.

They are familiar with their own strengths and weaknesses, and whoever does the details better will have a better chance of winning.

The other is the play of the star, the more critical the game, the more important the star's ability to break the opponent's defense.

At the beginning of the second half, Lehi hit another shot in the defense.

Then Duncan returned the color, and still played 2+1 when the inside line had come over to attack.

This makes the Knicks very helpless, and it should be emphasized that the inability to stop Duncan is a problem with the ability of the interior players, Eddie Curry has not worked defense since he fell out with Marbury, and now it is difficult to do anything even if he wants to perform.

Fouls are fouls, there are more fouls on substitutions, but fortunately, Duncan's free throw shooting percentage is not very high.

It's the same as dealing with James, a star like Lehi who shoots quasi-free throws is a plus, and no one wants to foul him easily.

In a situation where it was difficult to completely contain, the two teams adopted the same countermeasures, attritioning players like Lehi and Duncan, who had a strong positional advantage.

In the fierce battle between the two sides, veterans like Finley were a little unable to hold on, and the Spurs also replaced Ginobili in advance and presented their strongest lineup.

Parker and Ginobili formed the backcourt, Francis and Marbury are also difficult to restrict, but the Knicks' scoring at this time also looks simple, Lehi catches the ball, squeezes inside, and pulls up the mid-range shot is two points.

It's just that the constant confrontation without the ball, the interference that exists all the time, and the ability to maintain the stability of the shot while doing these is already an unbelievable act in itself.

The defense of the Spurs is extremely uncomfortable, and the Knicks' strongest backcourt has also been affected, but Lehi is the least affected, with a strong body and accurate shooting, which is the guarantee to do all this.

Doing the biggest restrictions on each other, and not being able to fully defend, is a portrayal of the second half of the battle.

It's still half a pound, although the Spurs' scoring is a bit average, and Lehi almost cut half of the Knicks' score.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides tied again 62:62, and the intensity of the game was also reflected in the score, both tied was a coincidence, and it also showed the proximity of the strength of the two sides.

At the start of the final quarter, Robert Horry hit a three-pointer.

Robert Horry is actually not a very powerful player, but this guy is a lucky general and a key gentleman, even if he played a mess before, he can't be left alone at the critical moment.

Thankfully, the three-pointer was the start of the fourth quarter, not the last few seconds.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Gortat also fought for free throws, Gortat is still almost confrontational now, but his attitude is much stronger than Eddie Curry, and if he can grow quickly, the Knicks' interior line should be better.

At this time, there were only a few people on both sides who dared to shoot quickly, and Crawford was slightly more than Ginobili, but when it came to the field, he was not soft on the attack at all.

The lineup dominated by substitutes played for less than three minutes, and the main players came on the court one after another, this is the finals, and most of the substitute players just went up to hold on for a while, and the real battle still needs the main players to solve.

At the last moment, the defense of both sides was relatively tight, and the Spurs' offense shifted from Duncan to Parker, and Parker's simple and fast style of play was also difficult to defend.

At 6:38, Parker hit two shots to help the Spurs maintain their lead.

In the next round, Lehi suddenly fired from outside the three-point line, and the three-pointer tied the score.

In the Spurs' offense, Parker broke through again and caused a foul, and Parker hit both free throws to give the Spurs the lead again.

And Lehi was another three-pointer that put the Knicks in the lead.

Lehi had been sitting in the low post to play Bowen before, and at this time he suddenly shot a three-pointer from the outside, even if the Spurs defense has been very attentive, he didn't react this time.

This is also Lehi's old method, suddenly changing the way of attack to catch the opponent off guard, this trick has been used many times, every time it is so useful, the defensive inertia formed in the majority of the half is not easy to change.

Lehi then assisted Marbury to extend the Knicks' lead.

But they couldn't win the game in one go, and Duncan first blocked and disrupted the Knicks' offense at the critical moment, and then grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt.

The Spurs, an opponent, even at the last moment, were not so easy to take.

In the last three minutes, the Spurs stayed on the court, and Horry also changed, so that their lineup was two different positions from the starters, three to be exact, because Duncan was on the No. 5 position at this time.

At 2:27, Ginobili made a successful foul, and after hitting a free throw, the Spurs led by one point at 81:80.

But immediately Marbury returned the color, causing Ginobili to foul the Knicks and take an 82-81 lead.

The staggering of the scores continued throughout the game, only to slowly diminish as time went on, and both sides were only slightly relieved when the score was ahead.

Unlike other teams, the Spurs' defense is relatively silent and there is not much trash talk, which makes people even more unbearable and can't help but want to find some trouble.

In the crucial game, there is no doubt that the contest is multifaceted.

At 1:29, Parker made a mistake in the middle of the game, but Lehi hit the iron on the counterattack.

With 54 seconds left, Duncan received a pass and turned with a flick of his long arm to put the ball in the basket.

At 82:83, the Knicks were once again on the underdog.

37 seconds later, Francis suddenly shot a shot, and after the shot, the Knicks took the initiative 84:83.

The tension was spreading, and the air in the stadium felt like condensation.

In the final minute of defense, the Knicks almost did not have any holes, but Parker went straight in under the cover of his teammates, Channing Fry fouled, and he didn't commit a foul, Parker threw the ball in and won the free throw.

The Frenchman withstood the pressure and hit a free throw, 84-86, with the Knicks trailing by two points with 10.2 seconds remaining.

Pause, lay out the tactics of the last moments.

Lehi was extremely calm at this time, and at this time he only had two words in his heart, score.

Marbury threw the ball into his hands, he received the ball and suddenly started, he made a quick offensive choice, and as soon as he accelerated, he touched it, but Horry, who came to make up for the defense, slapped it down and hit it out with his hand.

The referee blew the whistle, but it was a throw-in. (To be continued.) )
