Chapter 249 Unexpected Three Points

Back home, the Knicks players felt energized by the friendly din.

The moment they rushed out of the player channel, several people roared loudly, and it merged with the fans' shouts, like a battle drum before the charge.

At the beginning of the game, just like the other games, both sides showed great strength.

It was the Spurs who got the chance to attack first. Under the cover of his teammates, Parker accelerated and rushed in. When he was half a step away from the three-second zone, he stopped and jumped up.

At this time, Li Hai jumped over from the side and slapped the ball thrown by Parker hard.

The Spurs made a mistake and retreated quickly. The Knicks failed to make a fast break. Li Hai stepped on the three-point line to catch the ball.

He just sent the ball to the side without even looking at it. Marbury appeared in the basketball position in time, caught the ball and killed it inside.

When Marbury started, Duncan was still stepping on the line on the other side of the three-second zone. When Marbury shot, Duncan's long arm had completely blocked him, which was also a block.

The first few attacks of both sides were unsuccessful, and it was not until nearly 2 minutes later that Duncan scored under the basket.

Then Eddie Curry also got tough once, and he succeeded in the low post.

Now it seems that the situation of everyone competing for points like in the fourth game is very different in the process of the two sides playing against each other. When both teams are concentrating, the defense is the most terrifying.

About 5 minutes after the start of the game, Li Hai scored for the first time. This time he caught the ball under the cover of his teammates, pulled it up without any hesitation, and hit a three-pointer.

In the first quarter, he was strictly guarded against and would not make many calls, and he hit the iron three times. It was not until the team's last attack in the first quarter that he hit a two-pointer against the defense, giving the Knicks an 18:16 lead.

When the substitute came on the court, the rhythm changed slightly, and Crawford rushed all the way to complete the basket.

He can be said to be a rhythm breaker, provided that he does not strike iron.

After Parker capped Li Hai hard in the first quarter, he felt bad all the time. It was not until the second quarter that he returned to normal, and became the most difficult person for the Spurs to deal with outside.

In addition to Crawford during the rotation, Nate Robinson became a surprise player.

In the playoffs, Nate Robinson's playing time was shortened a lot. At this time, he and Crawford made the Spurs feel uncomfortable with their speed.

This also allowed the Spurs to pause and make adjustments. They also had substitute players who came forward. Brent Barry and Horry hit three-pointers successively.

At this time, the offensive efficiency of the substitute players is higher than that of the starting players.

Due to previous physical problems, Duncan's rest time was also slightly increased, but when Shifo returned to the court with sufficient rest, he immediately grabbed an offensive rebound.

The problem with rebounding is that there is really no way. Even if Li Hai tries his best, there is still a big gap between him and a real inside player.

At halftime, the Knicks were up 43-40, which felt more normal.

During the intermission, the atmosphere in the Spurs' locker room was also serious.

"Today we have to solve the series. The next game is still home to the Knicks. We can't play them until Game [-]. We have to do better in the second half."

Although they are not afraid of the Knicks, they understand that if the Knicks equalize the score, the morale of the players will definitely change. Coupled with the home court advantage, it is too difficult.

For the Knicks, after the head coach finished speaking, Li Hai only said, "Please believe me, we can win."

At the beginning of the second half, after Li Hai received the ball, he suddenly started to go in. When Duncan stepped forward to refuse to accept, he stuffed the ball to Channing Frye who was free, and Channing Frye made a shot.

In the finals, Channing Frye's scoring was not so sharp, and his rebounding was not strong enough, but at this time he still did what he could do, which is also an important reason for keeping him in the main position. His tactical execution very good.

Then Duncan also sent the ball to Oberto after attracting the defense, and Oberto hit the basket and scored.

These two attacks showed a very good state, but then both sides became blacksmiths.

Both sides have blocked shots at the basket, and the outside line is not very accurate when the defense is a bit tight. With the rapid rotation, the consumption of the two teams on the defensive end feels more than that on the offensive end.

In this game, the Spurs Brent Barry felt good. After playing, he hit a three-pointer. This goal also allowed the Spurs to regain 1 point in the third quarter. Festival.

A lead of only 2 points is definitely not guaranteed, and the Knicks can't afford to fail again.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Brent Barry hit a three-pointer to overtake the score.

Crawford wanted to fight back, but the three-pointer was hit. Fortunately, he made a contribution to the defense and assisted Richardson to hit a goal after completing the steal.

On the stage of the finals, when the regular season feels normal, this time can make the heart tighten.

Larry Brown didn't want to overburden his heart, so he directly replaced Li Hai.

Li Hai didn't feel very good after playing. He hit the iron twice in a row. On the third time, he forcibly went in. It was relatively rare to use a shooting fake to make Duncan's foul.

Next to the field, Larry Brown, who clenched his fists, relaxed a bit. As expected, Li Hai was still reliable. Even if one attack method failed, he could find other methods.

At 6 minutes and 11 seconds, Finley hit a three-pointer, and the Spurs took the lead again.

At 5 minutes and 28 seconds, Li Hai scored 2+1 and turned the score again.

At this time, if the team made one more mistake, or missed one goal, the situation might be completely different.

Between 5 minutes and 3 minutes, both teams missed shots.

Under the fierce confrontation, the referee did not think about the whistle frequently, apparently handing over the game to the players.

At 2 minutes and 55 seconds, Parker hit a three-pointer, and the Spurs seemed to see the hope of victory. They almost won all the games where Parker hit a three-pointer at the last moment.

But then, Li Hai hit a three-pointer.

They had already defended Li Hai very tightly, and the commentators felt a little unbelievable. There was a defensive player in front of Li Hai, and he hit a hit with just a little gap.

Unexpectedly, Li Hai then used the same method to hit a three-pointer, completely ignoring the defense in front of him.

With just over 1 minute left, the Spurs requested a timeout.

But after re-entering the field, Li Hai scored another three-pointer, which directly shattered their hope of winning.

Although Duncan made a foul on the inside and made two free throws later, they were unable to catch up with the 20-point gap with only 7 seconds left.
