At half-time, in the away dressing room.

Stan Van Gundy reminded his players to stay calm and calm, continue to play with the Spurs' defense, and try to find their rhythm in attack.

"Obviously, the Spurs have done more preparation than us for this G4, and their defense has become more active and tight, and the rotation is very good!"

"Although the referee's blowing will affect our mood, it is inevitably part of the game, and a mature NBA player, especially a star, has to face and adapt!"

"In the second half, we continued to stick to our offensive tactics, Dwayne hit the basket and kept in touch with his teammates!"

"Shaquille, don't be impatient, since the Spurs like to cut sharks, let him cut enough, we always believe in your free throws!"

"As for Lin, I don't think you have a problem with your shot in the first half, because this is your style of playing, keep persisting, you will shoot more accurately!"

Stan Van Gundy encouraged his main players while also being adamant that the Spurs' defensive intensity would not last the entire game.

Although Lin Fei and O'Neal did not play well in the first half, and Wade was also trapped in fouls, the Big Three were perfect enough in this round of the finals.

In tonight's G4, the Heat don't have to win, after all, they still have these 3 match points in their hands.

The NBA is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human feelings.

If the overall state of the team is still not good in the second half, then it will not make the Spurs swept so ugly, and the adjusted G5 will win and win the championship, which is also in Stan Van Gundy's plan.

It's just that now the Heat has won 15 consecutive games in the playoffs, and if they can reverse and win the championship tonight,

That is the only time in NBA history that they have won all of their playoff games, which is definitely no less historic than the Bulls' 72 wins in the regular season.

"Come on, everyone, win this game and we will be the final champion!"

Wade, who was sitting on the side, touched the knee of his left leg with his hand, his brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes looked resolute and cold.

In a breakaway late in the second quarter, Wade's left knee collided with Duncan, and there was some soreness at this point.

However, after the examination of the team doctor, there is no major problem, and he can continue to play.

"Dwayne, if you feel unwell, don't hold on, remember that health is the most important thing!"

Facing Assistant Coach Spoelstra's advice, Wade nodded and said excitedly:

"No problem, we're going to win tonight, so why can't I play because of this little injury?"

Lin Fei was still reviewing the game in the first half, trying to analyze the Spurs' defense against him, looking for a way to break the game.

Although O'Neal only scored six points from the free throw line and grabbed only four rebounds in the first half, he was still giggling at this time and maintained a good mentality with his teammates.

"Don't worry, we'll settle everything in the second half, I've stolen the free throw package from Lin!"

"It's going to be my fourth championship and I can't wait!"

After the start of the third quarter, the Heat really made adjustments quickly, and the overall state of the offensive and defensive ends was also improved to a new level.

When Wade came up, he took the lead in breaking through the restricted area, and scored two points on a layup.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei and Wade decisively carried out a package and forced to make a mistake in Parker's adventurous pass.

In the counterattack fast attack, Lin Fei sharply ran back to shake off Bowen and Ginobili, and then hit Wade's three-point shot.

"Huh!"

The fourth.

Immediately after that, O'Neal also sent a big hat on the defensive end, came to the offensive end and Wade to cover and block the dismantle, and turned over to avoid the defense as soon as possible after receiving the ball.

Muhammad was not given another chance to cut the shark easily, and the sudden leap was a powerful slam slam.

"Boom!"

It was O'Neal's first open score of the night.

"Beep!"

Muhammad's reflex arc was a little long, and when O'Neal jumped up to dunk, he quickly turned around and fouled.

The referee's whistle blew and gave 2+1.

As the main force of tonight's shark cut, Mohammed has also eaten 4 fouls.

O'Nealga, who walked to the free throw line, made a free throw, and the basketball bounced on the basket a few times, and finally obediently fell into the net.

"Huh!"

When the Heat team came up, it broke out quickly, the big three attacked one by one, and in less than one and a half minutes, they scored 8 points, and a wave of 8:0 was hearty, and the score was overtaken in an instant.

The old man Bobo on the sidelines frowned, he was simply afraid of something.

In desperation, he could only quickly call a long timeout, and he must not let the momentum of the Heat continue.

The Spurs fans at home cheered and the decibel dropped a lot in an instant, and a heart rose to the throat.

In the first half, I fought hard, coupled with the care of the referee, which was a difficult lead of 6 points, but I didn't expect to be easily overtaken in less than 2 minutes in the second half.

Is this the difference between the real strength of the Spurs and the Heat?

Bobo no longer yelled at the players, and he knew that the Spurs' high-intensity rotation and constant packing in the first half had taken a big toll on the players' fitness and energy.

No one wants to win this game of dignity, but if he does lose, he will still be proud of his players.

Because they have done their best and have a clear conscience.

"Boys, keep it up, we have to try to play aggressively in the first half, that's the only way to win!"

In the luxury box on the top of the hall, the 60-year-old Spurs owner Pete Holt has a burning eye, his appearance is quite similar to Bobo, and people who don't know think they are brothers.

When the Spurs were bought in 1995, Holt only spent $75 million, and with the Spurs winning the championship twice, the market value of this small-ball team has soared to more than $300 million.

This year, the Spurs are fully healthy, the lineup is reasonable, and there is a great hope of hitting the third championship in team history and achieving the odd dynasty.

But when he encountered the Miami Heat, Holt could only admit it.

Ginobili's performance in the finals was the most disappointing for owner Holt, who even moved the idea of letting Bobo trade away in the offseason.

If the current player on the Spurs division is not Ginobili, but Lin Fei, and the Heat's starting quarterback is replaced by Ginobili, will the Spurs be able to beat the Heat to win the championship?

Holt also sighed at Lin Fei's strength, it seems that Pat Riley's vision and insight are indeed better than Bobo's.

The 8-0 run ignited the emotions of the Heat fans, and there was a thunderous roar of joy outside the AT&T Center, with the visitors having significantly more fans than the home team.

"What am I talking about? Don't worry at all, it's just a spur, as long as the Big Three are online, the battle will be solved in minutes! ”

"The Spurs' defense in the first half was really top-notch, but this kind of high-intensity and tight rotation defense is very physically and energetically draining, how can they stick to it for the whole game?"

"That's right, if the Spurs' defense is a little lax, our side will have a chance to take away the game in waves!"

"Champion, here we come!"

After the timeout, Duncan hit a back-to-back shot, was caught by Wade and then split the ball back to Parker, who broke through and made a throw.

"Huh!"

Wade was fouled three times in the first half, and he began to be cautious defensively, not daring to make too many moves, lest he be caught by Crawford again.

On the offensive end, Wade broke through to the layup this time and didn't, but the rebound was vigorously shot by O'Neal.

"Smack!"

The man at the top of the arc was roughly the first to get possession.

Lin Fei ran around from the general side to catch the ball, and saw that two more people were sandwiched up, and he was close to restricting his shots, so he directly changed direction and burst into the penalty area.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, who accelerated the dribble and rushed in, faced Duncan's help defense, threw the ball high again to the tempered rebound above his head, intending to assist O'Neal for a dunk again.

But no matter how accurate Lin Fei's technique of finding the board is, there will always be mistakes, after all, such an assist is too difficult.

"Smack!"

Duncan, who quickly turned over, reacted quickly, flew up to catch the ball before O'Neal could catch the ball, and slapped the basketball away.

This ball technical table once again gave Lin Fei a mistake.

So far, Lin Fei has made 4 mistakes tonight, which is also the most mistakes in his career.

"Lin has always been known for his efficiency and steadiness on the field, and he has never made more than three mistakes in a match, which of course has something to do with his personal technical characteristics!"

"But he has already made 4 turnovers tonight, and it seems that the Spurs have really done their homework in defending Lin, and Lin has no talent in passing!"

"It's not a good sign for the Heat!"

Duncan's side held the ball on, and the Spurs continued to slow down the tempo and play positional battles.

David Stern, who sat in the front row on the sidelines, was also a little less interested in watching the game, and once the game fell into the rhythm of the Spurs, the viewing was immediately reduced.

The rapid rise of the Heat and Suns this season has in some ways saved the NBA's market and future.

Duncan's side still chose to make a strong shot when he was caught in the bag, resulting in a foul on the shooting beater.

"Beep!"

This time, Duncan, who went to the free throw line, made both free throws to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.

Wade came to the offensive end and made a strong basket, and in the face of Duncan's effective defense, he didn't dare to risk a layup, and Duncan's defensive area was too big.

The ball was given to O'Neal for the first time, but Nesterovic did not give O'Neal a chance to attack the basket and quickly made a shark foul.

"Beep!"

O'Neill was really speechless, and roared at Nesterovich:

"Have you the not eaten? If you want to foul, give Lao Tzu more strength, don't be like a! ”

The Heat's offensive rhythm was completely cut by the Spurs, which seriously affected the form of the Big Three and other main players.

O'Neal walked to the free-throw line, and this time he missed both free throws, and the home Spurs fans cheered.

"Bang dang!"

"Bang dang!"

The rebound was once again protected by Duncan, and O'Neal, who was a little annoyed, went straight up to scramble and was whistled for a foul by the assistant referee.

It was O'Neal's third foul tonight.

All of a sudden, the tide shifted to the Spurs' side.

At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs once again overtook the Heat by 5 points.

Before the start of the final quarter, the Heat team doctor checked Wade's knee injury again and found that the situation was somewhat aggravated, so he advised Wade that it was best not to play again tonight.

Wade naturally hopes to persevere, after all, the championship is just around the corner, and the 5-point difference is not worth mentioning at all.

After the first three quarters, Wade was the absolute first offensive core of the Heat, shooting 10 of 19, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and has 26 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

However, Stan Van Gundy decided to follow the doctor's advice and decided that there was no need for Wade to risk injury.

The Heat can not win tonight, but Wade's knee injury must not leave a hidden danger.

Pat Riley, who was sitting in the second row, also disagreed with Wade's late play.

Wade was naturally a little aggrieved and threw the towel on the ground angrily, but he didn't dare to disobey Stan Van Gundy's arrangement, let alone Pat Riley.

Although he won the regular season MVP, Wade is only a sophomore rookie after all, plus the Heat has Pat Riley's authority.

Wade naturally doesn't have the power that superstars have on the team to surpass that of coaches.

The Flash can only blame his knee for not fighting, not hurting sooner or later, but he was injured at the most critical moment of the finals.

Although thinking of this, my hope of winning FMVP may be completely ruined, but what Wade cares about most at this time is not FMVP, but being able to fight to the end of the championship in person.

Lin Fei and O'Neill also patted Wade on the shoulder and comforted him not to worry.

"Dwayne, you've given enough to the team tonight, so let me and Shaquille settle the fight!"

After the start of the final quarter, in the absence of Wade, the Spurs' defense was more targeted, and the shark slashing tactics were carried out to the end on the inside.

After the third quarter, Muhammad and Nesterovic, who were opposite O'Neal, had already received 5 fouls.

Bobo, for his part, also seized the opportunity to switch to a role player and act as a frontrunner in the shark slashing.

Both of the Heat's offenses were destroyed by the Sharks, and the Spurs instead scored four more points.

Without Wade's defense, Parker's offensive firepower was released in an instant, and the Western Conference championship was not blown out after all.

Lin Fei and Jason Williams crossed to cover the ball at the top of the arc, and while throwing off Bowen one step, he faced Parker, who quickly pounced on him, and did not hesitate to start a lightning three-point again.

"Huh!"

Sixth.

Although the overall shooting rate tonight did not reach the level of perversion, Lin Fei's three-point shot is 6 of 11 shots so far, and one of the board assists was recorded as a miss.

This three-point shooting rate of nearly 55% is super efficient for any outside shooter in the Finals.

But compared to Lin Fei's daily hit rate, it seems too shabby.

This is also the reason why Stan Van Gundy did not restrict Lin Fei from forcing his shot after being trapped.

No matter how bad Lin Fei's shooting is, his three-point shooting percentage is still in the first gear in the league.

This also shows from the side how against the sky Lin Fei's three-point shooting ability is.

Parker, who was bukkake, shook his head and sighed lightly, he and his teammates had done their best, but they still couldn't successfully limit Lin Fei's three-point shot.

Or let Lin Fei throw a performance of 6 out of 11, which is already a limit to success, right?

Parker is a traditional point guard, known for his pick-and-roll breakout and playmaking skills, and his shooting percentage is only average, and his career three-point shooting rate is only a little more than 30%.

But this season's Parker has strengthened the three-point shooting training in training, which is the case with many guards in the league, which is naturally related to the huge impact brought by Lin Fei.

This season, Parker has averaged 3 three-pointers per game, which is a lot more than before, and the shooting rate has also come to 33%, basically averaging one three-pointer per game.

For Lin Fei's 55% three-point shooting rate after being tightly restricted tonight, Parker has long been drooling with envy.

Not to mention that he can have Lin Fei's abnormal 55% three-point shooting rate, even if he has a little more than 40% of Ray Allen, then the Spurs will not become so passive now, and it can even be said that they can win the Heat.

The Spurs fans at home also shook their heads and sighed, this Lin Fei really can't be prevented!

"It's so tight, and I can still shoot 6 of 11 three-pointers, this Lin is really rebellious!"

"The advertising slogan of the Anta Group in the Celestial Empire is really right, wear the Anta generation, and the basket is a sea of stars in your eyes!"

"Other shooters dream of throwing 6 out of 11, but Lin is only 6 out of 11 in the slump, and the gap is at least three gears broken!"

"But fortunately, it's still us who are leading now, as long as we hold on, don't let Lin score three points in a row at the last moment, and there will still be a show!"

On the court, Lin Fei was entangled with Bowen, Ginobili and others for almost the entire game, and gradually found some flaws in the Spurs' defense, and the offensive efficiency was improved.

In a subsequent offense from the Heat, the team put on a double elevator door cover,

Lin Fei, who ran without the ball, finally managed to shake off Bowen and hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Williams in the bottom left corner.

"Huh!"

The seventh.

This ball Bowen pounced very fiercely, and directly pressed the whole person on Lin Fei's body.

"Beep!"

The ball whistle blows, 3+1.

Lin Fei, who was pressed to the ground, pushed Bowen away, became angry and angry, and directly used the Celestial Empire dialect to say a sentence of national quintessence:

"Silly B, get out!"

Bao Wen naturally couldn't understand the words of the Celestial Empire, but he knew that Lin Fei was probably scolding him.

But this is the second time that Bowen has been beaten by Lin Fei to 3+1 tonight, and he doesn't have enough strength, and he has no confidence in spewing trash talk.

O'Neal was also the first to rush up, throwing Bowen aside like a chicken, and reaching out to help Lin Fei who fell to the ground.

Crawford's eyes were sharp, he whistled again, and threw O'Neal a technical foul straight away.

"Beep!"

The Spurs players in the front row quit and shouted at O'Neal one after another:

"Eviction, expulsion, expulsion!"

"Shaquille beats someone, isn't this a guilty offender?"

Although he couldn't play in the final quarter because of a minor knee injury, Wade still sat on the bench and cheered for every score scored by Lin Fei and O'Neal.

Letting go of the obsession of FMVP, Wade was also really excited and excited for every three-point shot of Lin Fei.

He expects the Heat to complete the comeback in the final quarter and the O'Brien Cup to come tonight.

"Lin, good job, keep fighting, no one can stop you!"

Wade's wife and agent, who were sitting on the sidelines, frowned, and the two did not know that Wade's knee injury had been recommended by the team doctor to stop playing in the final quarter.

"Why hasn't Dwayne played? What's the situation? He was clearly the best in the first three quarters tonight, why was Lin out of the limelight in the last quarter? ”

"Stan Van Gundy is clearly going to let Lin take the FMVP, how can he arrange it like this, you must know that Dwayne is the boss of the team!"

James, who was also sitting in the front row, saw that the Heat had a reversal momentum, but Wade was pressed on the bench, and his mood was finally relaxed.

But seeing that Lin Fei came from behind and gradually found a three-point touch, James began to get lemon again.

If the Heat reverses like this, and O'Neal plays so badly tonight, then the FMVP is likely to be Lin Fei's.

An undrafted pick in the same class actually won the championship as the main player of the team for two consecutive years, and also won a Finals Most Valuable Player, what is he in comparison?

Thinking about it this way, James felt that it was better to let Wade get FMVP, after all, Wade was his own brother......

"Huh!"

Lin Feijia, who walked to the free throw line, also hit a free throw, and scored 7 points in a row in the final quarter.

Heat (79) :(80) Spurs.

The difference was quickly chased to only 1 point.

Old Man Bobo did not hesitate, and hurriedly called another timeout, absolutely not allowing Lin Fei's fiery hand to continue.

Up to now, Lin Fei has driven low and walked high tonight, and still shows a strong offensive ability under tight defense, 7 of 12 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and has scored 25 points, plus 3 steals and 1 block.

However, Lin Fei also played for a long time tonight, reaching 35 minutes.

There are still 8 minutes left in the final quarter, Wade can no longer play due to injury, and O'Neal is limited by the slashing tactics.

If the Heat want to win the game in one go, they must rely on Lin Fei.

But if Lin Fei is full in the last 8 minutes, he will play 43 minutes tonight, which is probably beyond his physical limit.

In Lin Fei's previous games, his single-game playing time record was only 41 minutes.

Stan Van Gundy frowned slightly, the championship was just around the corner, and it could only make Lin Fei bite the bullet.

If he were to be given a minute or two of rest at this time, I am afraid he would not agree to it.

Pause back,

Duncan forced another foul under the basket and went to the free throw line to make both free throws.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The current league's top two supergiants are also unstable in free throws, but Duncan is still better than O'Neal after all, and he withstood the pressure tonight, and his current free throws are 6 of 9.

"Tim has 31 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and he is a worthy hero for San Antonio tonight!"

There were about four fouls on the side, but Stan Van Gundy chose to keep him on the court.

Looking back, Lin Fei and roughly crossed the outside line, and after the running position retreated, Lin Fei was frantically trapped, and there was a big vacancy on this side.

Jason Williams broke through with a clever return pass and the ball flew to the rough hand.

Take a deep breath, aim for the basket, and take a shot calmly under pressure.

"Huh!"

The ball is there.

This roughly three-point shot also allowed the Heat to successfully tie the score.

The AT&T Center fell silent in an instant, and the heart of every Spurs fan was raised to their throats.

In the last 7 minutes, the victory or defeat is only between the first line, there is still a chance to win the finals, and if you lose, you will witness the Heat lift the championship trophy at home.

"You have to hold on! Role players go with them if they want to score, but they must not let Lin hit three-pointers again! ”

"That's right, Wang and Sean can't go on all the time, if they really let the Heat's role players die, we will admit it, but we must not die at the hands of Lin and Shaquille!"

"You can't let the Heat fight a regular positional battle anymore, Lin's threat is too terrifying, let's cut sharks like crazy!"

Song Yang and Qin Dongmei, who were sitting in the front row, were also quite emotional at this time, whether the Heat can win the championship tonight depends on the last few minutes.

Heat (82) :(82) Spurs.

The Spurs attacked, the ball still went to Duncan near the free throw line, Parker shook off Williams to accelerate the empty cut to the basket,

Receiving Duncan's ball, he turned over and hit a layup.

"Huh!"

With that layup, Parker also scored 20 points tonight.

The white point guard from the Fortune Country is always easy to underestimate, but what he has achieved now is undoubtedly the No. 1 in the class of '01.

Wade, who was sitting on the sidelines, punched his fist his thigh, and if he was on the court now, he would never let Parker score so easily.

Spurs regained a two-point lead, but the home fans didn't feel safe.

The Heat attacked, and before Lin Fei landed without the ball in the front court, Ginobili on the Spurs' side quickly rushed towards O'Neal and hit the opponent's back directly.

"Beep!"

It's shark chopping again.

O'Neal made one of two free throws from the free throw line, but then the Spurs' offense failed to score, and Parker took advantage of Duncan's breakaway small throw to shoot out of the basket.

"Smack!"

The rebound was taken by O'Neal, and the Spurs just cut the shark and failed to return to their original cost and lost a point.

However, Horry, who was soon replaced by the substitute, also rushed directly towards O'Neal and tactically slashed the shark again.

"Beep!"

O'Neal went to the free-throw line and made one of two free throws.

But the Spurs then scored two points on the offense, and Horry, who had fewer fouls, cut the Sharks again......

"OMG, the Spurs have completely entered the shark cutting mode, it seems that they are still too jealous of Lin's three-point shot and don't give the Heat a chance to attack in positional battles!"

"This is the 16th time Shaquille has been on the free throw line tonight, and with the next two free throws, his free throw count tonight has come to 30!"

"The NBA Finals record for free throws in a single game was set by Shaquille in 2000, when O'Neal made a total of 39 free throws in that game under the Pacers' crazy shark slashing!"

"Oh, this time Shaquille hit both free throws, and it looks like he's got a touch at the free-throw line!"

"15 of 30 free throws, just 50% shooting, the score is tied again, will the Spurs continue to cut next?"

The Spurs attacked, and the key moment had to be Duncan.

In the face of the general defense, although the hook hand of Shi Buddha turned over was very difficult, the basketball still bumped on the basket a few times and then entered the net.

"Huh!"

Looking back, the Spurs suddenly stopped cutting, which made the Heat's offense a little uncomfortable, Jason Williams' pass to Lin Fei was too risky, and he was directly stealed by Parker,

The Spurs counterattacked the fast break, Parker's fast break position with a steal in the middle was very good, Jason Williams couldn't catch up, and Lin Fei could only let go of Ginobili to intercept Parker.

The Spurs were in a 2-on-1 position up front, and Parker made a clever pass to Ginobili on the right after entering the box.

Ginobili received the ball and stepped straight to the basket, attracting Lin Fei and then passing back to Parker, who put the ball in with a light paddle.

"Huh!"

On the timer, there were only 3 minutes and 09 seconds left until the end of the race.

Heat (86) :(91) Spurs.

The Spurs took a 5-0 lead to five points in an instant, and the atmosphere at home was once again high-pitched, with fans shouting to refuse to be swept and refuse to be swept ......

Stan Van Gundy hurriedly called a long timeout, and he had already noticed that the main players had physical problems, especially Lin Fei, who had played 40 minutes tonight.

Lin Fei, who came off the court, shook his fist fiercely, and was played by Parker and Ginobili 2 to 1 just now, which made him feel angry, and his body revealed even more crazy battle intent.

Wade also quickly stood up from the bench at this time and said to Stan Van Gundy:

"Coach, my knee is really just a minor injury, let me play, we are only 3 minutes 09 seconds away from the championship, I can't wait any longer than three days!"

Stan Van Gundy was also in a difficult situation at this point, so he had to turn back and ask Pat Riley, who was sitting in the second row.

originally thought that if the Heat fell behind in the final quarter, they would directly push the boat to let the Spurs play, but I didn't expect the game to become more and more anxious in the last few minutes.

In the last 3 minutes, only 5 points behind is not much, the big three are working together, and it is not without chance to win the comeback.

After all, you can't foul people without the ball in the last 2 minutes, which will make O'Neill more threatening.

And Lin Fei's physical fitness also has some problems, if he doesn't have Wade, it will be very difficult to reverse.

Pat Riley's eyes were deep, and after consulting the team doctor again, he pondered for a few seconds, and finally said to Wade:

"Dwayne, do what feels right for you!"

When the championship is just around the corner, no one can resist his temptation.

Of course, the team doctor also checked it very carefully, Wade's knee did not have any major injuries, and he insisted that there would be no serious situation after the last 3 minutes.

Looking at the sweaty face on Lin Fei's face, Stan Van Gundy patted the other party's shoulder and said:

"You, how are you? Can you hold on? ”

Lin Fei wiped the sweat on his face with the towel handed over by Tony Allen, panting and laughing:

"Coach, of course I'm fine, no matter how tired I am, I have to finish the last 3 minutes and 9 seconds!"

"I'm experienced!"

O'Neal next to him was still making a free throw gesture at this time, practicing his feelings:

"If these guys dare to cut Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will kill them with free throws tonight!"

Stan Van Gundy named the last five people to play: Wade, Lin Fei, Battier, Roughly and O'Neal,

Then with a wave of his hand, he shouted encouragement in a high-pitched voice:

"Kids, go on the field and do the final battle, the O'Brien Cup is yours!"
