You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 779 Failure is the only ending (1763)

Duncan succeeded in singles several times, the two sides evenly split, and then Hayward missed a three-pointer from the corner.

Leonard caught the offensive rebound, dribbled and caught a counterattack, and chased the top of the arc to make a three-pointer that turned the Spurs from behind to lead-at the same time, this was his fourth three-pointer of the night!
"Shh!"

The momentum of the Spurs has risen from this!

Then, Ginobili showed his blade.

He first played Wei Xia in a misplaced position. Facing the two DPOYs, he had no fear at all. He broke through at the top of the arc and never got rid of it. The twist before he shot was surprising.

He jumped up strangely, then flew under the basket, twisted his body 180 degrees, and then hit the ball with one hand for a reverse basket.

After 1 minute, he hit a three-pointer under the defense.

After another half a minute, his breakthrough caused a kill and made one of two free throws.

The Spurs always have someone to stand up and take the game away, but for the 76ers, it is not Wei Xia, who averaged 45 points per game, who is responsible for stabilizing the army.

When Wei Xia's teammates saw that he was trapped by demons and missed consecutive shots, they knew that the "boss" who had been standing in front of them to expel the demons needed help at this moment.

Hayward and Cousins ​​stepped up later.

The explosion of the two of them stabilized the 76ers.

In that wave, Duncan, Leonard and Ginobili bombarded the crisis one after another, only allowing the Spurs to establish a 5-point lead.

The last ball of the first half, the Spurs handed over to Ginobili.

Ginobili knew what happened to Wei Xia, and he knew that Wei Xia was the most vulnerable Wei Xia at this time.

His defense might still be that strong, but how effective is his offense?

Today's basketball is moving towards non-defense. In the future of basketball, offense will be above all else, and that is what distinguishes Jordan from Pippen.

Tonight, Wei Xia's offensive that made the Spurs desperate probably had less than [-]% of his skills.

Manu Ginobili will continue to beat him, at least tonight, so that the Spurs can steal a victory and ensure that the series returns to home and has a chance to create miracles.

Therefore, he was determined to hit Wei Xia in a wrong position.

Moreover, he did succeed. The unpredictable snake-shaped breakthrough unbelievably passed through Wei Xia's defense. He took the European step. With the help of Cousins, the 37-year-old Argentine seemed to be suddenly tapped by the gods, returning to 20 years old.

59 is better than 52
The Spurs led the 76ers by 7 points at halftime.

Wei Xia let out a sigh of relief, half time left.

They were clearly 7 points behind, but his thought was that there was still half time left.

After halftime, this long journey will be over.

His thinking was as if the 76ers must win in the end.

The Spurs' first-half comeback was enough to bring some food for thought about where they leaned, who they trusted.

Who made the Spurs launch a fierce counterattack in the second half of the second quarter?

It's Duncan.

Before that, the Spurs' offense was so bad it could only be sustained by Leonard.

Then, Duncan came.

Many people say that Duncan is not old, just look at the data. In terms of efficiency per unit time, Duncan has indeed been the same for 17 years. Last year's blocks and backcourt rebounds, and this year's passing, all played the highest efficiency of his career.But specifically on the court, in order to maintain health, Duncan lost weight in 2010-11, and the result is: his current inside play is not as sharp as before.

His efficient scoring today comes more from the Spurs' passing and his positioning; at the same time, his defensive range is relatively small, although he is still the league's top rim protector.

In the finals, he beat Cousins ​​in many title stages, which made the audience jubilant. In fact, it was nothing special-seven years ago, such slaughters were commonplace for him.

No one can stay young forever. In 1999, Duncan was an omnipotent superstar.The flexibility and pace of players like Griffin are now praised, which is incomparable to Duncan back then.The Spurs could have the audacity to let Duncan hit mid-range shots from 20 feet and single-handedly face-up with the ball as if he were a seven-foot small forward.

It's hard to describe this feeling, just like Kobe's fans marveled at his rejuvenated second spring in 2013, but as long as fans who watched the 2005-2007 Lakers game will seriously tell you, it's far from it!Compared with their peak period, this is really far behind!

Even from that distance, Duncan made waves in his own way, sending the Spurs back and forth.

Wei Xia had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the half. Compared with him in the previous four games, he is more like a normal player tonight.

He hastily dealt with the interview, turned and walked into the player tunnel.

He knew there was still work to be done, and now was never the time to relax.

And Jay Wright was interviewed and talked about Wei Xia, his family's changes and his status tonight.

Even though Wesha's shooting percentage dropped below 40% in the first half, Wright believes he can adjust back in the second half: "I believe in him, he can do those weird things, unpredictable things, although he was a little off the line tonight, but still make positive things happen. No matter what he does, he just wants to win. He has Michael Jordan's desire to compete."

Yes, Wei Xia is a little off the line.

So at the beginning of the second half, he rushed to the basket with the ball and dunked Duncan in front of him. The fans knew that things would not be that simple.

54 is better than 59
"Looking at Wish's appearance, he seems to be holding his breath."

Next, he blocked Leonard's offense and was fouled tactically for a quick break.

The 76ers gave him the ball.

Wei Xia knew that he didn't feel good, so he didn't shoot and broke through to the end. The Spurs' defense blocked his offensive line, and his ball could only be passed outward.

Hayward received the ball for a three-pointer, he is extremely reliable today!
57 is better than 59
The Spurs panicked, and the 76ers from the previous games seemed to be back.

Just because of .Wish?

Duncan's back was hit to stop the bleeding, and Popovich also signaled Leonard to open up the space appropriately. Anyway, Wei Xia didn't shoot, and he didn't make the shot.

Leonard stood back unsurely.

The moment Leonard gave Wei Xia the space, he shot directly.

"Shh!"

The chilling sound of a goal.

Leonard was at a loss, he didn't know how to defend.

And Wei Xia said in an unbelievable tone: "Don't make such a joke next time, Kawhi."

For him, the shot was missed, it was a joke.

This is his confidence and courage.

Because they don't know what Wei Xia will do next goal, the Spurs' defense against him is not as clear as before.

Wei Xia woke up suddenly, which also put a lot of pressure on the Spurs on the offensive end.

Their explosive momentum in the second quarter was based on the fact that Wei Xia was invisible most of the time. Now if Wei Xia can respond to them as frequently as in the previous four games, the pressure will be huge.

Wei Xia's offense and defense once again made the Spurs' outside shots inaccurate.

This time, Wei Xia's fast break was unstoppable.

He rushed to the front with the fastest speed and scored a dunk.

59 is better than 61
The Spurs were forced to call a timeout.

Only 2 points away, the timeout ended, and the Spurs put up a zone defense.

Now, it's clear.

They let Leonard defend against Wecha's shots, and put the zone defense to test the 76ers' corner three-pointers.

The 76ers accepted the test of the Spurs.

The first player to take a three-pointer from the corner was Hayward, who didn't miss the opportunity and hit a three-pointer.

62 is better than 61
"Will this be the start of the Sixers' overall lead?"

No one knows, Wei Xia is defending with all his strength, no matter what Leonard wants to do, he will force the opponent to give up the offense.

He can impose his will on anyone as long as he wants.

Yes, as long as he is on the court, as long as he wants.

The all-out defense brought about the biggest dilemma for the Spurs, and they were forced to single out.

Duncan took charge of the ball, scoring with a characteristic but rarely used 45-degree wing shot.

The Spurs took the lead.

But San Antonio's go-ahead status lasted only 20 seconds.

20 seconds later, Wei Xia scored suddenly, and the Spurs were careful not to give Hayward an open chance.

Hayward used himself as a bait to attract the defense and then split.

The basketball was passed to Rondo, and no one defended his three-pointer, and the reason is well known.

Rondo had to make a shot. He knew that as long as he made a three-pointer, it would be a devastating blow to the morale of the Spurs.

Rondo shot!

The arc is wrong!Someone spotted this and rushed to the basket early.

"boom!"

The Spurs believe in the 101 hammer culture, and they firmly believe that all success comes from the efforts of the previous 100 hammers.Same with Wescia, he's pushing the San Antonios bit by bit into the darkness, it's a bottomless abyss, and the spurs are falling, falling, until they can't climb out.

Now, he wants to increase the size!
Wei Xia was the first to realize that Rondo's three-pointer would not be scored, and he judged the landing point.

So when the ball bounced off the basket, Wei Xia seemed to move into the air instantly, took off the offensive rebound with one hand, aimed at the basket before landing, and shot with only the strength of his hand and messy touch.

"Boom!"

Hit the board!

He set himself on fire, again.

He suddenly has infinite energy, which was the first four games of Wish.

At this moment, the Spurs began to feel depressed, and Weixia's vitality is very likely to take away their last hope.

They desperately need to hold their ground.

Passing, passing, moving the ball, which they are best at, is no longer so smooth, because the 76ers' defense forced them into a trap, just for Wei Xia to take the ball!

"Wish got it!"

Wesha intercepted the Spurs' pass, like stabbing the media in the heart. Leonard wanted to foul, and he immediately gave the ball to Hayward, who was on the fast break.

He must be able to complete this counterattack simply.

Wei Xia emptied his brain, it was not enough, this was not enough, he needed to do more.

In this way, the crazy desire to win occupied his body and mind.

When Wei Xia becomes Wish.

When he returns in this way, the Spurs will be like Xiang Yu under Gaixia, with no way out, and defeat is the only ending.
