Chapter 249: Three Points Without Omen

Back at home, hearing the friendly cacophony of the Knicks' players felt empowered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The moment they rushed out of the players' tunnel, several people roared loudly, mingling with the shouts of the fans, like war drums before the charge.

At the beginning of the match, as in the others, both sides showed strong strength.

It was the Spurs who got the chance to attack first, and Parker accelerated under the cover of his teammates and rushed in, and jumped up with half a step to go.

At this time, Lehi jumped over from the side and fanned the ball thrown by Parker hard.

The Spurs made a mistake and retreated quickly, the Knicks were not able to play a fast break, Lehi stepped on the three-point line to catch the ball, and as soon as he turned around and squeezed a step inside, Finley sandwiched over.

He didn't look at the ball and just sent it to the side, Marbury appeared in time for the basketball position, caught the ball and went inside.

Duncan was still on the other side of the three-second zone when Marbury started, and when Marbury shot, Duncan's long arm had completely blocked him, which was also a block.

The first few shots on both sides were unsuccessful, and it wasn't until nearly two minutes later that Duncan scored under the basket.

Then Eddie Curry also toughened once, hitting hard in the low post.

Now it seems that the situation of everyone competing to score in the fourth game is very unusual in the process of the two sides playing each other, and when both teams are concentrated, the defense is the most terrifying.

It was about five minutes into the game that Lehi scored for the first time, and this time he received the ball under the cover of his teammates, pulled it up without hesitation, and hit a three-point shot.

In the first quarter, he was heavily guarded and didn't have many chances, and he hit three times until the team's last offense in the first quarter, when he hit a two-pointer against the defense to give the Knicks an 18-16 lead.

When he came off the bench, the tempo changed slightly, and Crawford ran all the way to complete the pick-and-roll.

He can be said to be a rhythm breaker, if he doesn't strike iron.

In the first quarter, Parker had been feeling bad after taking Lehi hard, and it was only in the second quarter that he returned to normal and became the most difficult person for the Spurs from the outside.

In addition to Crawford during the rotation, Nate Robinson became a surprise player.

In the playoffs, Nate Robinson's playing time was cut short a lot, and at this time he and Crawford made the Spurs uncomfortable with their speed.

It also allowed the Spurs to make adjustments to the timeout, and they also had bench players step up, with Brent Barry and Horry hitting three-pointers in quick succession.

At this point, the offensive efficiency of the substitutes is higher than that of the starters.

Because of the previous physical problems, Duncan's rest time was also slightly increased, but when Shi Fo, who had a lot of rest, returned to the court, he immediately grabbed the rebound in the front court.

The problem of rebounding is that there is really no way, even if Lehi tries his best, there is still a big gap between him and a real interior player.

At halftime, the Knicks led 43-40, which felt more normal.

At halftime, there was a serious atmosphere in the Spurs' locker room.

"We have to settle the series today, it's the Knicks' home game, we can't play them to Game 7, we have to do better in the second half."

It's not that they're afraid of the Knicks, but they know very well that if the Knicks equalize, the morale of the players will definitely change, and with home court advantage, it will be too difficult.

On the Knicks' side, after the head coach finished speaking, Lehi only said, "Trust me, we can win." ā€

At the beginning of the second half, Lehi suddenly started to kill after receiving the ball, and when Duncan stepped forward to disagree, he stuffed the ball to the free Channing Frye, who hit the shot.

In the Finals, Channing Frye's scoring was not so sharp and his rebounding was not tough enough, but at this time he still did what he could, which is also an important reason to keep him in the main position, and his tactical execution is very good.

Duncan then also sent the ball to Oberto after attracting the defense, and Oberto scored on the basket.

Both attacks showed good form, but then both sides became blacksmiths.

Both sides have blocks under the basket, but the outside line is not very accurate when the defense is a little tight, and the rapid rotation and the consumption of the two teams on defense feel more than on the offensive end.

In this game, the Spurs' Brent Barry had a good hand and hit another three-pointer after coming on the court, which also allowed the Spurs to pull back one point in the third quarter, and the Knicks entered the final quarter with a score of 58-56.

A two-point lead is certainly not guaranteed, and the Knicks can't afford to lose again.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Brent Barry hit another three-pointer to overtake the score.

Crawford wanted to return the favor, but the three-pointer was iron, but fortunately he played a role in the defense, completing a steal and assisting Richardson to hit a goal.

On the stage of the finals, when the regular season feels very normal, this time can make the heart tighten.

Larry Brown didn't want his heart to be overburdened and just swapped Lehi on it.

Li Hai didn't feel very good after playing, hitting iron twice in a row, and the third time he forced it in, and used a shooting feint to create Duncan's foul.

Next to the court, Larry Brown, who clenched his fists, was a little more relaxed, and Lehi was still reliable, even if one way of attacking didn't work, he could find other ways.

At 6:11, Finley hit a three-pointer and the Spurs took the lead.

At 5 minutes and 28 seconds, Lehi played 2+1 and turned the score over again.

If that team had one more mistake or one less shot, it would have been a completely different situation.

Between 5 minutes and 3 minutes, both sides failed to hit the shots.

Under the fierce confrontation, the referee did not think about the whistle frequently, and obviously handed over the game to the players.

At 2:55, Parker hit a three-pointer, and the Spurs seemed to see hope of victory, and Parker hit a three-pointer in the final moments, and they almost won the game.

But then, Lehi hit a three-pointer.

They had defended Lehi very tightly, and the commentators felt a little incredible, but there were defenders in front of Lehi, and he hit just a little gap.

Unexpectedly, Lehi hit a three-pointer in the same way next, ignoring the defense in front of him at all.

With just over a minute left, the Spurs called a timeout.

But when they got back on the court, Lehi hit another three-pointer that directly shattered their hopes of winning.

Although Duncan made two fouls on the inside, they were unable to catch up with the seven-point gap with only 20 seconds left. (To be continued.) )
