The Way of the Center

2 to 2, in the playoffs, this is definitely a very delicate score. E novel www. 1XIAOSHUO. Don't look at it as a draw, but whoever can get the match point in the third game will have a huge advantage in the playoffs.

From a psychological point of view, the team that has won the match point will be more excited, and the desire to win will be stronger. Considering practical factors, if the Spurs lose the match point battle, then the next game will return to Portland, back to the Rose Garden where the Spurs stumbled twice in a row. It's never a good choice to play a game in that place where you win and then lose and go home.

Losing this game may not be the end of the day for the Spurs, but it will undoubtedly have a very big impact on their subsequent playoff journey.

**Vich naturally understands the stakes in this. The outcome of this game will be a turning point in the entire playoffs and will be the key to determining the outcome of the series. No matter how Ginobili played today, let Ginobili swing it by himself.

Too many rules and regulations will actually limit the swing of a player like Ginobili. Give him a certain degree of freedom, maybe it will be a good choice.

"Manu, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, you should take a break first." **Vichic thought for a long time, and finally spoke, but did not talk about tactical matters.

"But after that, you have to give me a hard hit on the Blazers' basket! Tim, reduce the number of times you share the ball. If the guy Aldridge defends you, you will attack me without hesitation! We There is no way out! Now, someone has to go on the field to support the game. I would really like to do it myself, but David Stern will not agree to wear a jersey at my age." ** Vicky's eyes swept over Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, these three old ghosts, at critical moments, seldom disappoint.

Indeed, the Spurs not only have GDP, but also many other outstanding players. Moreover, for the aging troika, not every game's data can be played very well.

But in the team's most difficult moment, one of the gdp will definitely come forward! That's why this aging combination is still competitive. When Anjie first entered the league, the league was entering an era of old and new replacements.

Countless veterans who were once famous can only play for a basic salary, and countless "children" who were once young have become the masters of this league. But during this period of replacement of the old and the new, only the combination of gdp survived from it.

This great combination once fell into a trough in the first two years, but now, they once again have a chance to reach the stage of the Western Conference Finals.

Even if there are very young, energetic and vigorous pioneers from players to coaches in front of them, the Spurs must bite them down!

So when Anjie played his first offense in the fourth quarter,

Split's defense impresses him! This Brazilian may not have witnessed the glory of the Spurs, but when everyone on the team, especially the three old guys, are fighting high, as a role player, he certainly doesn't want to drag the team down.

This time, Split's defense was very tough, so tough that even An Jie felt a bit struggling. Now is the critical moment, and Anjie is not willing to make blind shots if he is not sure about the ball. Seeing that Splitter was still inseparable from him, and the attack time had passed halfway, Anjie still chose to pass the ball.

Pass to Aldridge? No, that old slippery Duncan is waiting for Angie to do it. In desperation, An Jie had to hit the ball outside again.

Several offensive moves were conducted, and Wesley Matthews made a hasty shot before the end of the offensive clock. The flight arc of this ball looks very bluffing, but the ending is not surprising. The basketball shot by Matthews knocked out of the frame, Anjie rushed desperately, and completed a tip-up across Split.

But just as the basketball entered the frame, the referee's whistle sounded. The rebounding foul and Anjie's excessive pushing and pushing were finally unbearable to the referee.

An Jie didn't complain this time. He knew very well that his ball was fouled. If the referee misses the ball, the Trail Blazers will get two points. In order to score, An Jie had to take a gamble.

"The Spurs' defense was very successful. They let the Blazers use up 24 seconds to get a shot. The Spurs played against the Blazers at the aTT Center and always turned the situation around in the fourth quarter. Let's see today, the Spurs can Do not replicate the previous successful experience."

While Kenny Smith was speaking, Tony Parker's stumbled breakthrough finally caused Aldridge's foul.

Parker's performance today was very bad, and his shooting percentage was even worse. He wanted to go inside and make fouls many times, but the referee didn't pay attention. Therefore, Parker shot a lot of unbelievable balls today, which is the main reason for his poor shooting percentage today.

But this time, Parker's plan finally succeeded. Aldridge raised his hands and looked at the referee innocently, but the fact that Parker got two free throws could not be changed.

After Parker made a free throw, Vivić immediately replaced Leonard, who was in poor form and had only scored 4 points so far, with Stephen Jackson, who was extremely excited. In this way, it is obvious that ** Weiqi wants to strengthen the offensive firepower, even if it sacrifices some defense, he will not hesitate!

Parker made two free throws, but Anjie and Aldridge once again completed an exquisite cooperation in the penalty area, allowing the point difference to return to its original state.

"Damn it!" Duncan picked up the basketball on the ground and slammed it to the ground again. The inside line of the Spurs was riddled with holes by Anjie and Aldridge. Duncan's "abnormal" behavior naturally attracted the attention of the fans and all the reporters. What did Duncan do just now? He was venting his emotions! This guy who is as cold as a rock was actually venting his unhappiness just now!

Being chased and beaten by two young men, even though Duncan is a guy who rarely shows his emotions on his face, he couldn't bear it at this moment!

"If Aldridge is defending you, you will attack without hesitation!" **The words of Vicki suddenly echoed in Duncan's mind. He couldn't bear to continue being treated like an "old thing" like this, and he wanted to prove that there was still a place for him in this era!

Duncan hit the baseline hard, and Parker, who caught the ball, smiled slightly. When was the last time Duncan hit the baseline with this force? At least five or six years ago.

He knew that the big man wearing the No. 21 jersey was a little angry.

Seeing that the Blazers' defense was impeccable, Parker had no hope of breaking through. So he moved the ball according to the tactics and gave the ball to Ginobili at the 45° angle.

Manu Ginobili was not as cautious as Tony Parker. After catching the ball, he broke through directly and rushed past Wesley Matthews' defense.

Because it was a forced breakthrough, Ginobili's dribble during the breakthrough was bumpy and almost lost. But in the end, Ginobili regained control of the ball, even though it was a dangerous one.

As soon as he got control of the ball, Duncan raised his hand towards Duncan.

Aldridge immediately walked forward and tried his best to put one arm in front of Duncan. However, at the moment when the basketball was about to be passed, Ginobili suddenly flicked his wrist and changed the direction of his pass.

A very bold pass, the basketball passed Gerald. Wallace's head, and flew out of the three-point line again. There, Stephen Jackson, who had long been seriously dissatisfied with the Trail Blazers, was left unmarked!

Raise your hand, shoot, three-pointer, hit! Stephen. Jackson may have been the object of ridicule from the outside world, this arrogant guy is always playing off. But in all fairness, his attack power must not be underestimated!

Another unbelievable assist by Ginobili officially blew the clarion call for the Spurs' counterattack.

After that, under the influence of the attack just now, the Spurs' momentum was very strong. They are determined to take down the Trail Blazers at home, no matter how unfavorable the situation is for them.

So, in the following game, after Ginobili assisted Duncan, Duncan leaned on Aldridge and forcibly turned around and dunked. There is Tony Parker throwing himself into the air again and again, allowing his body to be hurt, but only in exchange for breakthroughs of two free throw opportunities. Of course, if the Spurs wanted to start off, how could Ginobili's unreasonable goal be missing.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Ricard replaced Anjie and Aldridge with Camby and Thomas just to be on the safe side. As a result, gdp's counterattack momentum is even more irresistible.

On the offensive end, the Trail Blazers can only rely on Crawford and Courtney Lee to support them. On the defensive end, Duncan has regained his glory in the interior, and his offensive efficiency is astonishingly high.

89 to 95, when Anjie and Aldridge played again, GDP has opened the point difference to 6 points. It seems that the Spurs will be in the center of aTT again to complete a big reversal in the fourth quarter!

"This is basically the usual script of the Spurs. They fell behind at the beginning of the fourth quarter, reversed in the middle, and won at the end. The three GDPrs are familiar with writing such a story."

With four minutes left in the fourth quarter, seeing Anjie and Aldridge reappear, **Vichic also replaced the three old carriages that had just gone down for a short rest.

The aTT center was suddenly full of voices, and the fans knew that the time for the decisive battle had arrived!

"LaMarcus." After playing, Anjie looked around with his hips akimbo. The game has been played to this point, there is no reason to give up. Although he is very tired now and the game situation is very bad, An Jie is unwilling to be buried in the aTT center again.

"What's the matter?" Aldridge looked at An Jie curiously.

"Work together to win the victory!" An Jie didn't say too many words, he knew that Aldridge could understand what he meant.

"It's been planned for a long time." Aldridge showed his neat and white teeth and hit the baseline. Raymond Felton shouted the tactical code again, and An Jie followed Xun and ran forward. The three old carriages of the Spurs had already set up a defensive posture and stood in front of them.

"Peng!" Splitter was still secretly proud of his tough defense at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but he didn't know that this time Anjie had physical contact with him again, and the situation was completely different.

Split is still tough, but Anjie is not to be outdone. After several collisions, Split's ribs were severely hurt, and he felt that his bones would break if he was hit again.

However, An Jie really continued to come for a while, isn't An Jie in pain? They were all made of meat, and of course An Jie felt very uncomfortable under such a strong impact! But in order to seize a favorable position, An Jie has no choice!

"Raymond Felton passed the ball to Wesley Matthews. Matthews holds the ball and makes three threats. He is observing the situation on the field!"

Ginobili stood in front of Matthews calmly, and he would not look down on others just because Matthews was an undrafted pick. Ginobili, who was selected with the 57th overall pick, is not much better than an undrafted pick.

His calmness comes from his confidence in his ability. To defend a guy like Matthews, as long as he seals his shooting space as much as possible, it is half the battle!

But this time, Matthews didn't shoot, but flashed directly to the left, intending to break through!

"Think about it so easily?" Ginobili couldn't believe that Matthews had made such a choice, he had no chance to break through himself at all!

Just when Ginobili took a confident step, ready to block Matthews' breakthrough route. But he seemed to have knocked over something, making it impossible for him to move an inch!

"Ann's stealthy and timely pick-and-roll! The Argentine didn't even realize that An had quietly come to him! My God, the timing of this pick-and-roll is so accurate!" Kenny Smith exclaimed, O'Neal didn't speak, but applauded Anjie's pick-and-roll in his heart. Don't look at the pick-and-roll as just an auxiliary job, but if you want to do it well, the technical content is not low.

After passing the pick-and-roll, there was no one in front of Matthews. Duncan had to make a decision between lightning and flint. He decided to protect the basket first!

So Matthews "naturally" sent the basketball to Aldridge, which Duncan had expected a long time ago, and he couldn't really leave Aldridge alone.

He quickly took a step sideways, and once again stood in front of Aldridge. Aldridge still raised the ball without hesitation, but he was not for shooting, but for passing!

An Jie cut in directly after the pick-and-roll. Splitter may have a sloppy defensive defense, but the defense is in. This guy can't stop An Jie at all!

Duncan raised a hand to block Aldridge's view. Unexpectedly, Aldridge's "shooting" didn't even jump, he shot directly!

In the next second, a gust of wind swept over Duncan's back, causing the 21 behind him to flutter.

"Bang!" After that, the tragic cry of the basket resounded through the audience. Duncan turned his head, Anjie was hanging on the basket, but he could only pick up the ball from the ground again.

The aTT center, which had just come alive, was immediately silenced by An Jie. Even the Spurs fans who have seen countless gorgeous cooperation are all amazed at the exquisite cooperation of the Trail Blazers just now.

An Jie let go and landed, the basket was still trembling. He retreated and shouted to the sky, while Aldridge rushed over and hugged Anjie's shoulders. The two dangerous insiders of the Trail Blazers issued a serious warning to the Spurs!

Afterwards, when Duncan received the ball again, he found that the man defending him was no longer Aldridge, but An Jie who had just completed a dunk!

Duncan, who didn't have enough rest, tried his best to take a few steps in, but Anjie's defensive position was not shaken. Duncan himself didn't know it, but compared to before, he was already very weak now.

Reluctantly turning over and shooting a jumper, An Jie stretched out his long arms, but failed to block the shot. However, under such severe interference, even Duncan couldn't score the ball.

The basketball hits the hoop and Gerald Wallace rushes to the rebound. Another counterattack from the Trail Blazers, God knows what else the huge Trail Blazers will do.

"Ann's wide-range ball movement is beautiful, and Raymond Felton made a three-pointer! God, the referee blew Tony, Parker fouled, and the Blazers got three free throw opportunities!"

"Gerald Wallace forced a dunk! Woohoo! This is simply Wallace in the Lynx era!"

"Wesley Matthews hit the second consecutive three-pointer, crazy, the Trail Blazers, led by Ann and Aldridge, went completely crazy!"

In the final four minutes, the Spurs didn't know what they were going through. They were just running and jumping constantly, but they couldn't stop the Blazers' offense and couldn't penetrate the Blazers' defense.

Except for Ginobili, he is still scoring in his own way and attacking in his own way. An Jie couldn't do anything about it, but he was able to make up for it with better methods.

In the end, Duncan had to steal the ball while defending Aldridge. This rough steal could only cause Duncan to bear two fouls. He could have done otherwise, but now he has to.

Because there are only 3.3 seconds left in the game, and the Spurs are three points behind!

Foul tactics, this is a wise tactic, this, is also a desperate, dying tactic...
