Chapter 333: Ups and downs
"It was really an up-and-down game, and we can be sure that Derrick Foscher is not the nemesis of the Spurs, but it would be wrong to say that he is a Spurs player. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, if it weren't for Derrick Furscher's miraculous four-pointer just now, the Thunder wouldn't have been able to tie the score, and now he's thrown in a buzzer-beating three-pointer. ”
At the end of the third quarter, the audience was cheering, and Mike Brin and Van Gundy on the sidelines also shouted with a little excitement.
In the first half of the game, the Spurs who took the initiative to change undoubtedly occupied the situation on the court, they once widened the difference to 12 points, although the end of the second quarter was chased back by the Thunder, but after the end of the first half, the Spurs still had a 6-point advantage.
In the third quarter of the game, the two teams went back and forth, and the game was very intense. With a six-point advantage in the first half, the Spurs always maintained the lead on the court, and they have always occupied the initiative on the court.
It's just that I didn't expect that after coming to the end of the third quarter, Derrick Furscher, who has changed from a small fish to an old fish, showed what it means to get older and more demonic, after the Spurs limited the play of the Thunder two less, Derrick Furscher actually completed a four-point play first, causing Ginobili to foul at the same time, hit a bottom corner three-pointer, helping the Thunder tie the score.
Then, at the end of the third quarter, he actually threw a buzzer-beating three-pointer near the halfcourt to help the Thunder directly overtake the three-pointer.
Although there was a certain element of luck in both goals, it was already true that the Thunder scored directly, and by the end of the third quarter, the score had become 78-81 and the Spurs were three points behind.
Seeing that the Thunder, who was close to three quarters behind, actually completed the overtake at the end of the third quarter of the game, the Thunder fans at the scene were naturally excited, and the cheers were so high that they were already piercing.
In front of the screen, those fans who support the Spurs are naturally uncomfortable, they keep muttering that the Thunder are really lucky, and those fans who were originally relatively neutral are smacking their tongues at this time.
"The Spurs are really a team that has been cursed, even if Parker is injured, after making adjustments, he played so well in front of this game, but he was still played by luck, and he can only accept the result of falling behind at this time. ”
"Yes, the third quarter is behind, although it is only 3 points behind, but this is the home court of the Thunder after all, and the Thunder still have the match point in hand, the fourth quarter of the game will definitely play unusually actively, and the Spurs may really fall into passivity. ”
"Yes, it seems that the fourth quarter of the game is still the Thunder's possession, and if the Thunder's first offense is successful, the point difference will have to be further widened. ”
"Well, how to say it, sometimes luck is so weird, it stands to reason that the Spurs have always played better in front of them, and the two three-pointers of the old fish are indeed amazing. ”
Fans in front of the screen can analyze the situation on the court, and Popovich can naturally do too, although the Spurs are only 3 points behind at this time, but for the Spurs, this is definitely not a favorable situation.
Trailing the opponent before the start of the fourth quarter, and still on the opponent's home court, with the opponent holding the match point, no matter how well the Spurs played in the fourth quarter, the Thunder must be extremely morale.
In such a situation, the Spurs naturally have to be very careful, a team like the Thunder with the league's super scorer has a strong attack, and it is not difficult to score, and the score difference is very likely to be pulled apart if you are not careful.
So at this time, when arranging the lineup for the fourth quarter of the game, Popovich also directly arranged several important players on the court.
Duncan, Dior, Green, Ginobili, Li Yang, except for Leonard, who was rested off the court because he played the whole quarter of the game in the third quarter, the five people on the court can be said to be the players Popovich relies on the most now.
The Thunder are obviously also very serious about the next fourth quarter, because as long as they win this quarter, they will break into the Finals again, so at this time, they sent a lineup of Adams, Ibaka, Durant, Jackson, and Furscher.
The interior players are the best players in the Thunder's interior defense in these two games, and on the outside, except for Westbrook who is temporarily out of the game, the other three are also the most fierce firepower players in this game, especially Furscher, who had a magical performance in the third quarter of the game.
"The players from both sides are back on the court and the fourth quarter is about to begin, and it's the final 12 minutes of the game! If the Thunder win, they will be able to enter the Finals, and if the Spurs win, they will drag the game into a tie-break and bring it back to their home court. ”
"But, Mike, the Thunder definitely don't want to let the game go to a tie-break because that would be very bad for them. ”
Van Gundy's words were agreed by Mike Brin, who nodded and said: "Yes, if in such a situation, the Spurs are dragged into the tie-break, the momentum and initiative will belong to the Spurs, so in the next quarter of the game, the Thunder will play harder."
"Okay, friends, the fourth quarter of the game has begun, and the Thunder are the first to attack......"
The Thunder took the lead in attacking, and to the cheers of the fans at the scene, Fisher controlled the ball to the halfcourt, and the ball was immediately handed to Durant, who was leaning directly on Green in the high post but still entangled for a long time to get the ball.
With the ball in his hand, Durant was not able to get the opportunity to shoot easily, Green was stalking Durant at this time, and he stuck to Durant's body and kept doing all kinds of interference.
Durant turned to face the basket, made a false shake, and then leaned on Green and rushed to the basket, he tried to use his height to force Green directly.
It's just that it's not easy for Durant to do this, Green is tightly stuck in the next game, making it very difficult for Durant to jump, but he can't jump, even if he rushes inside, it is difficult for Durant to complete the offense, because at this time, Duncan is staring at it.
Durant opted to continue the rush, plunged into the Spurs' defensive pile, and then jumped up to use his excellent height and reach to pass the ball to the hands of Toucher on the perimeter.
"The ball is in Derrick's hands and he takes a three-point shot against Manu......"
Perhaps it was a few shots in the third quarter that made Foscher full of confidence, so at this time, even if Ginobili pounced, Foscher still chose to shoot.
The next moment, the Chesapeake Energy Arena was boiling again, and Fisher's shot that was not too good this time actually hit again. (To be continued.) )
