This Forward is Not Serious

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were announced one after another.

The Nuggets are still the regular five, but the Spurs have made adjustments and replaced Oberto as the starting center with Kurt Thomas.

The Spurs previously used Francisco Elson, and used him, a first-round pick and an additional head in exchange for Thomas at the trade deadline.

It can be seen from the chips that the Spurs want to replace him as the starter to help Duncan share the pressure.

Thomas is also a well-known veteran, and he has played very well with the SuperSonics this season.

As a result, he switched over and played two games and found that Oberto was still really good, so Thomas went to the bench.

This wave was also ordered in times of crisis.

The game started quickly with the cheers of the fans.

Martin jumped for the Nuggets to take the lead.

Lin Ying's frontcourt organization.

After replacing Thomas, Popovich made a defensive adjustment, letting Duncan guard the basket and letting Thomas go outside to follow Lin Ying.

Thomas' height of 2.06 meters is real, and his wingspan is also good. Although the interference intensity is not as great as Duncan's, the defensive effect is not bad.

And the main purpose of this adjustment is naturally to take advantage of Duncan's protection of the basket.

Although the defensive area is smaller due to plantar fasciitis, it is still possible to shock the penalty area.

Lin Ying didn't rush into tactics, but let Anthony pass the ball behind his back for a try.

Whether the dual-gun status is good or bad, the Nuggets' playing style on the court is different.

Anthony caught the ball and hit the back frame.

But just as he started attacking, he was slapped by Bowen.

He looked back at the referee, who didn't signal.

One is that Bowen's movements are hidden, and the other is that the penalty standards for the tiebreaker will definitely be looser.

Anthony didn't call for a foul. He glanced at Bowen and immediately changed the direction of the triple threat.

After all, Bowen is getting older. Although he still has defensive experience, his steps are slower.

Moreover, Anthony has already protested to the referee, and he does not dare to continue using small tricks in this round.

Anthony passed him in one step and went inside to dunk.

Duncan appeared on his breakthrough route at the right time, and then directly pressed the ball down.

Although it was mentioned before that the help of tie-break tactical adjustments is limited, Popovich's adjustments this time are quite good.

The ball ended up being called for a scrimmage, and Duncan beat Anthony with a jump. The two sides exchanged possession of the ball, and the Nuggets' first wave of offense came to nothing.

Parker advanced to the frontcourt, and Thomas pulled out to pick and roll.

Thomas quickly retreated to the high post after breaking open, and hit Parker's sudden shot from mid-range.

Thomas is a standard 2D space insider.

D is defense, and 2 means that he can only shoot mid-range shots but not three-pointers.

But his mid-range is really stable.

This is actually a change of direction to reduce Duncan's offensive pressure.

And it can also be seen that so far in the series, although Popovich does not admit it mentally, he is very honest physically, and he also avoids Lin Ying on the offensive end.

His thoughts were the same as before, as long as he won the ball, nothing mattered.

Anthony continued to play singles in the frontcourt.

This time he chose a pull-up jumper.

The ball was predicted by Bowen.

He has rich defensive experience and can cause interference when he takes off immediately.

"Dang!"

Anthony failed to score in two consecutive attacks!

Lin Ying's previous words boosted morale, but Anthony seemed unable to rise at the critical moment.

But this is understandable. Looking at the billboards and slogans around us, most people can't bear the pressure.

Duncan picked up the defensive rebound, the Spurs launched a defensive counterattack, and Parker advanced on a fast break.

4 to 0!

The Spurs started off well.

Anthony tried twice but failed, and Lin Ying then turned to Iverson.

Just be able to fire one of the two guns.

Iverson's mid-range pick-and-roll...

"Uh-huh!"

In!

Fortunately, it’s not a lottery!

In the commentary box, Jordan politely held an empty fist and coughed.

Parker continued to pick and roll with Thomas in the frontcourt. This time Martin made a more fierce attack. Parker made a trademark spinning top and bypassed Martin for a layup!

And when he returned to the defensive end, Popovich walked to the sidelines and shouted that the Spurs were guarding Iverson tightly.

Lin Ying gave the ball to Anthony again, but Anthony shook his hand and pulled it out but still didn't do it!

The Spurs played another fast break. This time Finley was in the corner and shot a three-pointer after receiving Parker's pass.

"Uh-huh!"

Come in too!

9 to 2!

The Spurs scored on their first four shots of the game.

In the tiebreaker, their offense also turned on!

The Spurs fans at the scene could not stop cheering.

The defense is on line and the offense is blooming again. The Spurs will definitely win tonight!

In the commentary box, Jordan reached for his cigar, but finally realized that the situation was wrong and could only turn his head and look at Barkley intently.

Buckley pretended not to notice.

This scene was captured by the photographer, and the picture is very interesting.

It was the same strategy again after the Spurs dropped back to the defensive end.

At this time, Smith ran out and waved at Lin Ying, wanting to hit the ball forcefully.

On the one hand, we stick to the strategy, and on the other hand, we attack quickly and chaotically.

The playoff experience and mentality of the two teams were fully reflected in the tiebreaker.

Fortunately, Lin Ying's mind is still very clear.

Anyone can mess up, but he can't mess up.

He motioned Smith to go back, glanced at Thomas who was very close to him, and shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc!

Thomas didn't expect that Lin Ying would dare to throw it directly at this time and pounce on it.

Then, he discovered that he had been fooled.

Lin Ying's shot was fake and caused a foul.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, indicating Thomas' three-point foul.

Lin Ying had done this a lot in the NCAA before, and found it to be just as good in the NBA.

But before he got to the free throw line, he moved his shoulders with a slightly painful expression.

Just now, when Thomas knew that he had been shaken and came down, there was a small movement that bumped into his shoulder.

Sure enough, there is a reason for being valued by Popovich, and it seems to explain why the first generation of Pengci was not produced.

In this day and age, there is a price to pay.

Lin Ying didn't bother too much.

The situation is very unfavorable now. If there is some conflict, it will be more dangerous for him to be replaced by the Nuggets.

Moreover, the choice he just made was quickly analyzed.

Under normal circumstances, Anthony can break through the basket and cause damage even if his touch is not good.

It was the same in the previous games. Although the two-handed shooter didn't feel good, it was not difficult to score 20+ points.

But now that Duncan is also in the paint, it will be difficult for Anthony to get in and score.

So he had to vote Duncan out.

Thomas defends forward, and his three-point chance is not good. He must be fouled first and force him to defend deeper before he has a chance.

There were bursts of boos at the scene, but Lin Ying turned a deaf ear.

Made all three free throws.

9 to 5.

The Nuggets got a breather.

Parker's shot finally missed.

However, Duncan relied on his excellent rebound sense to score two points in a row and then grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a tip-in!

11 to 5!

Spurs, amazing tonight!

Karl's brows were so frowned that he could hold down a pen.

God is on the Spurs' side tonight!

Jordan: You're right!

The offense drove the defense, and the Nuggets' continuous off-ball tactics were disrupted.

This time on the way Smith ran over, Lin Ying made another three-pointer from the outside!

Smith slapped his thigh angrily.

"Uh-huh!"

But he immediately raised his hand to pat his leg.

Because Lin Ying made a three-pointer this time!

Counting the previous three free throws, it's equivalent to scoring two three-pointers in a row!

Two life-saving three-pointers!

11 to 8!

The score difference was only 3 points in an instant!

At this time, the scene in the commentary box was particularly interesting.

Barkley turned to look at Jordan without saying a word.

Jordan also pretended not to see Barkley and turned to talk to Smith beside him.

In the end, Smith couldn't help but laugh.

These two are truly amazing.

However, this change can also be seen from this change in the situation of this tie-break.

This is a boxing match where you punch me and you punch me.

And after Lin Ying made that three-pointer, Popovich had to replace Duncan.

With Lin Ying's three-point shooting ability, a real shot can change the situation on the court.

With Duncan out, Anthony finally has some room to play.

To put it very realistically, even if Anthony's touch is not good and only one of the three threats is left, it is impossible for Bowen to completely prevent him one-on-one.

Anthony doesn't look strong without gaining weight, but most small forwards can't stand up to him, not to mention Bowen's swing.

Moreover, his rebound speed is so good that even if he misses the first shot when he reaches the basket, he has a high probability of grabbing an offensive rebound and scoring a second attack.

After Lin Ying's two three-pointers allowed the Nuggets to catch their breath, the two teams began to enter a stalemate.

At this time, if you look at the two teams, they are in a balanced situation in terms of strength and spirit.

It just depends on who can seize a certain period of time and open up the score in one fell swoop.

Ginobili: Someone is here!

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Ginobili suddenly broke out, scoring consecutive breakthroughs and adding a three-pointer at the buzzer.

Twenty minutes Jordan, two minutes first!

The Spurs ended the first quarter with a 30-25 lead.

And as soon as the second quarter started, Ginobili made another wonderful crotch pass to assist Horry for a dunk.gif.

With a 7-point difference, the Spurs seemed to be the first to break the deadlock.

But in the next round, Lin Ying hit an alley-oop pass from behind, and Anderson soared into the air.

"Bang!"

"Birdman" flies!

Anderson is really passionate. After dunking, he continuously touched his mohawk. gif, which made the bench climax directly.

Lin Ying also successfully intercepted Horry in the next defensive round, and JR Smith hit a three-pointer.

32 to 30!

The Nuggets have caught up with the score again!

For these two consecutive waves, Jordan was silent.

This Nuggets team seemed a little different from what he remembered.

He even felt that he had the same burnt-out atmosphere as in the 1997-98 season.

He looked at George Karl. Has Karl become so capable?

Of course, Karl didn't know what Jordan was thinking about writing, but he unconsciously reached out and touched his bald head: It seems like someone said I'm awesome?

After halftime, the two teams were tied at 46.

Compared to the Celtics beating the Hawks next door, this is obviously more like a tiebreaker!

Both sides entered halftime.

In the Spurs locker room, Popovich was cursing.

Although the score is even, they failed to take advantage at home, especially in the first half. The Spurs will have a hard time playing in the second half.

After all, Duncan is injured, and after all, their average age is older, and their physical disadvantage will be highlighted in the second half.

"What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?"

He was almost pointing at Bowen's nose.

He didn't dare to guard Lin Ying, and he couldn't restrain Anthony. This was not the whole game, but the whole series.

"Do you want this to be the last game of this year's playoffs? Do you want to lose another chance to defend your title?"

He looked around at everyone in the locker room. He had told the players before that he had to knock 101 times for Tim, but now he was really anxious.

…

Some are happy and some are sad.

The atmosphere in the Nuggets locker room was completely opposite.

Karl didn't make any tactical adjustments and let them move freely after saying a few words.

The Spurs' disadvantages are, in turn, the Nuggets' advantages.

Especially when they withstood the Spurs' two attacks in the first half, it was their turn to exert their strength in the second half!

Lin Ying leaned there to rest, and he was suddenly attracted by the words on both sides of Anderson's arms.

Speaking of tattoos, they are definitely the standard for Nuggets gangsters.

And because of the spread of Chinese culture, these people also like to get tattoos of some Chinese characters to show their style.

What attracts Lin Ying and Lin now are those two familiar words.

The left hand is "good" and the right hand is "evil".

This should be said about Anderson's own character, half angel and half devil?

That is, why is it "good" and not "good"?

Anderson: You are the devil!

He looked at Martin again.

He had observed Martin's tattoo before and it was very interesting.

"Worrying about gains and losses."

He had asked Martin before, and Martin said it meant something like "never satisfied."

The Chinese teacher’s coffin board can no longer be held down!

Sure enough, Iverson's "loyalty" is more pleasing to the eye.

Classics are classics for a reason.

Moreover, this loyalty can also highlight Iverson's character, who is very loyal to his fans, relatives and friends.

Iverson noticed Lin Ying's gaze, smiled at him and then stretched out his hand to fist bump with him.

The second half of the game is about to begin.

The players on both sides packed themselves up, got up and walked outside.

The second half of the game will be more intense than the first half!

…

The second half came back for more than three minutes, and neither side scored any points.

It's not how they feel, but the competition on the court is too intense.

All kinds of people are on their backs, and the smell of gunpowder is escalating.

Because there was a "conflict" between the two teams during the regular season, this level of confrontation made fans excited but also a little worried.

Four minutes before the end, the two teams were tied at 77, and the field was still extremely fierce.

It was at this time that what was supposed to come came.

Lin Ying received a pass from Iverson from the outside and prepared to shoot a three-pointer.

Bowen trembled all over, mustered up the courage to fly into the air, and directly shot diagonally to copy the action of flying and kicking Szczerbiak.

Lin Ying was not Szczerbiak, his reaction was much faster.

However, Bowen was also experienced and took off from a blind spot in his field of vision, so it was impossible for Lin Ying to completely dodge at this moment.

He could only block it with his hands.

At the moment of contact, he felt that his index finger was misplaced.

This guy is really cruel and cruel!

And in order to avoid this, the other person took the initiative to lean back, and now he fell to the ground and almost lost his butt.

The word "evil" on Anderson's hand that he saw in the locker room came to his mind.

Compared to Anderson, Bowen is the real villain!

His CPU immediately exploded.

He couldn't care less about the pain. He wouldn't be a human if he didn't beat Bowen until his teeth were all over the floor today!

But before he could get up, a short figure had already flown past him.

The word "loyalty" on the neck is particularly conspicuous.

It was when he saw that word that he suddenly realized that such a one-for-one exchange was a bit of a loss.

But it was too late for him to stop it.

Because Bowen also fell down after kicking him, and now Iverson kicked him down with a slap in the face.

Damn it!
