In the visiting locker room at the Memphis Federal Express Arena, Spurs players sat in their chairs and Popovich stood in the middle of the locker room waving and shouting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The last time we made it to the finals?'07, it's been 6 years, guys, now we have a chance to get to the finals again, think about it, as long as we kill the guys on the other side and win this game, we can get to the finals!"

Speaking of the back, Popovich raised his voice, listening to his shouts, even the core GDP of this Spurs team has been a veteran player in the league for many years, and his expression was a little excited at this time.

As for Li Yang and other young players, let alone asking, listening to Popovich's shouting, their eyes lit up one by one, and they were very excited, and they couldn't wait to start playing now.

Popovich was pleased with the fighting spirit of the Spurs players, but he continued to shout: "Absolute pressure from the first minute of the game, we have to finish them in this game, we have to start well and not have any surprises." ”

Last year, the Spurs were overturned by the Thunder with a 2-0 lead at home, although now the Spurs are leading 3-0, although everyone knows that it is not easy for the Grizzlies to complete the comeback, this game is more like a fight for dignity to avoid being swept, however, Popovich does not want to give the Grizzlies a chance, does not want to give a chance at all.

Popovich knows that the head coach of the Grizzlies at the other end will definitely motivate the Grizzlies players to play hard, and if they fail, they will be swept away, which they absolutely do not want to see for the Grizzlies who finally entered the Western Conference Finals, so the opening of the Spurs may also encounter the same crisis as the previous game, and the Spurs players must pay attention to it.

After the locker room set-up, warm-up, appearance ceremony, and a series of activities, the fourth game of the two teams officially started at the referee's whistle.

As Popovich expected, the Spurs were really guarded by the Grizzlies in the opening game, and they were unable to score in the first two minutes, and in the four minutes played, the Spurs only shot one ball and scored two points.

However, unlike the previous game, the Spurs did a better job on the defensive end, and they did not panic because of the delay in opening the offensive end, although they only scored 2 points, but the opposite Grizzlies only scored 6 points.

Popovich didn't call a timeout to adjust again, and after the test of the last game, he believes his players know how to deal with it, especially the two experienced veterans of Duncan and Parker.

Popovich's trust really made sense, Duncan and Parker seemed to have suddenly found the feeling of offense, and the two cooperated with each other to score 4 points on consecutive shots, and with a wave of 8:0 small high* tide, the Spurs overtook 10:6.

This wave of attacks by the two seems to have suddenly opened the gates for the Spurs' offense, and the Grizzlies can't play under the basket at the other end, and when the offense continues to be frustrated, the Spurs' offense is completely found to feel, and the smooth offensive coordination makes the Grizzlies unguardable.

Li Yang came on the court at the end of the first quarter, and with the last two minutes of the first quarter of the game, he and Ginobili played a wonderful combination, Li Yang cut to the basket, Ginobili made a weird pass through the crotch Prince, Li Yang received the ball and avoided the defense and scored a backhand layup.

At 24:14, in the last eight minutes of the first quarter, the Spurs went on a 22-8 run, which allowed them to establish a 10-point advantage after the first quarter.

The Grizzlies are indeed very tenacious, in such a game, 0:3 down, and the first quarter of the game was widened to 10 points, for many teams at this time is very likely to collapse immediately, and the Grizzlies can still rely on defense to stabilize the situation.

Before the end of the first half, the Grizzlies came off the bench point guard Bayless, who hit two consecutive three-pointers to make it 38-44 and allow the Grizzlies to narrow the deficit to just six points at the end of the first half.

After the start of the second half, when the Spurs once again widened the gap to double digits, the extremely depressed Mark Gasol slammed the technical table when he was substituted, although he received a technical foul, but it also woke up the Grizzlies players, especially the outside players, and then, the Grizzlies hit two three-pointers to narrow the gap to 6 points, and it remained until the end of the third quarter.

In the blink of an eye, the game between the two sides has reached the last minute, and Parker, who is hot in the game, hit a jumper from mid-range with Duncan's cover, and the game time is only 41 seconds left, while the difference between the two teams continues to remain at 6 points, and the Grizzlies call a timeout to set up tactics.

The Spurs made personnel adjustments at this time, Parker and Ginobili stayed off the court, and Li Yang, Leonard, and Danny Green played at the same time, making it clear that this ball was to be guarded closely.

Li Yang is responsible for the opposite Bayles, in the first half of the game, Bayles felt hot, after the ball came to the opponent's hands, Li Yang immediately put on the top of the defense, not giving the opponent a chance to go outside the three-point line at all.

In desperation, Bayless had no choice but to call Gasol to block and dismantle, and then rushed into the three-point line with the help of cover.

According to Hollins's tactical arrangement, at this time, Bayles needed to pass the ball back to Gasol, and then Gasol would organize the offense, but after rushing into the three-point line, Bayles saw that Li Yang was too far away just now, and he was not able to stick to himself at this time, so he immediately accelerated and rushed to the basket.

Li Yang did not post it for the first time, but this does not mean that Li Yang was completely out of position, and rushed to the basket with the opponent, and when Bayless jumped up for the layup, Li Yang, who followed him, jumped high from behind!

Feeling the strong wind behind him and the top of his head was also shrouded, Bayless realized that something was wrong and hurriedly accelerated his shot, but ...... It's late!

"Smack!"

With a nailboard hat, Li Yang's big palm directly fanned the flying basketball on the rebound!

The rebound bounced and fell into the hands of Duncan, who followed up, and Gasol Jr. was busy using foul tactics to prevent the Spurs from launching a counterattack.

"Yang, well done!"

Receiving Duncan's praise, Li Yang clapped his hands with the other party and said softly: "Tim, it's up to you!"

"Shhhhhh

However, Duncan was clearly not an ordinary player, and a steady two-shot free throw widened the gap to 8 points, and these two free throws completely destroyed the Grizzlies' last glimmer of hope.

"Toot!"

As the game ended, the Spurs players on the bench rushed into the field.

At 95:87, the Spurs once again won the game on the Grizzlies' home court, sweeping the Grizzlies 4:0 to successfully advance.

After a six-year hiatus, the Spurs are once again in the Finals! )
