NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

The twenty-minute intermission passed quickly and the second half began. At this time, the score between the two sides was 49 to 46, with the Wizards leading by 3 points.

The Spurs served first, and it seemed that Popovich was also in a hurry. Ginobili, who mainly played the sixth man, played most of the second quarter, but still didn't get off the court after the third quarter.

After Ginobili dribbled the ball past half court, he called Duncan to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Facing Duncan at this time was Wizards center Blatche. He reminded Thompson on the outside and followed him out.

Ginobili waited until Duncan's cover was in place, then accelerated and made a move to break through to the inside.

Blatche was afraid that he would be passed by Ginobili, so he took a step back.

And Ginobili used this opportunity to connect with an emergency stop and step back three-pointer!

Blatche reacted and tried to pounce, but it was too late. Ginobili hit a three-pointer to help the Spurs tie!

The Wizards gave the ball to Hinrich, who dribbled across half court.

Li Kaiming blocked his opponent at the waist and got the ball.

Because the Spurs still played a small lineup, Li Kaiming faced Morris Jr. at a small forward size at this time.

This is a natural dislocation, and of course he must seize this opportunity.

So the moment he caught the ball, he stuck Morris and turned towards the baseline.

Unexpectedly, this young Morris is quite courageous. Facing Li Kaiming, who has all the power in the league, he is not timid at all. Instead, he takes the initiative to give him a black elbow!

Feeling the pain coming from his waist, Li Kaiming's mouth also showed a cruel arc.

I originally thought that the Spurs had given up and there was no one worthy of my special care. It seemed that I was blind...

Is this the last hurdle before winning the championship? It's like the feeling that the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk were on their way back from studying for Buddhist scriptures, and were told by the Buddha that they were still just one step away?

The two struggled to get to the bottom line. Li Kaiming was half a body ahead, and then he jumped directly, twisting his body in the air to face the basket and shoot...

When shooting from this position, in addition to being defended by Morris, Duncan under the basket also comes to help defend.

But Li Kaiming still hit the mid-range shot hard, and then pointed at Morris with both hands!

Although little Morris opposite was annoyed, his face did not show any emotion.

The Spurs dribbled the ball across half court, Ginobili organized the attack, the two shooters crossed paths, and point guard Parker cut inside.

This is the characteristic of the Spurs' tactics. Everyone is an important part of the offense, and everyone can become the ultimate terminator!

Compared to Morris Jr., Danny Green is undoubtedly the one who cannot be shorted.

In addition, Li Kaiming is a large inside player and is naturally not good at squeezing screens.

In the end, Morris Jr. received Ginobili's pass from the other side at a 45-degree angle, and then hit a three-pointer against Li Kaiming, who was chasing after him and jumped high!

52 is better than 51!

Little Morris also imitated Li Kaiming's actions and pointed at the latter twice in a row!

This scene was accurately captured by the MCI Center's camera. Seeing that this unknown guy dared to challenge his own superstar, the audience immediately began to defend Li Kaiming!

The entire MCI Center burst into boos, and of course some bad-tempered Wizards players began greeting Morris' family in C language...

After Li Kaiming saw Little Morris's provocation, not only did he not feel any anger in his heart, but instead he felt a trace of impulse being ignited!

Since you want to see my strength, you have to be prepared to anger me!

The Wizards served to the frontcourt, and Hinrich was also very sensible and gave the ball directly to Li Kaiming outside the three-point line.

When Morris saw Li Kaiming holding the ball, he immediately followed him!

"I don't want to be as fragile as those weaklings! If you want to try my defense, you will definitely regret it!"

Hearing this childish trash talk, Li Kaiming almost laughed out loud!

I have been working hard in the league for more than three years, and I have never seen any trash talk. You still want to disturb my mentality with trash talk. Is this guy thinking too much?

He did not answer directly, but was prepared to hit the opponent first before speaking. After all, actions are a better weapon than verbal attacks.

So he dropped the ball directly and started to find a rhythm, and Morris on the opposite side actually tried to steal him.

Li Kaiming sneered in his heart, then slid away to distance himself, and then suddenly changed direction!

At this time, little Morris was about to steal him. He didn't expect Li Kaiming to make such a drastic change of direction, so he was sent flying!

Li Kaiming shook the latter away, then retreated back to the three-point line, and then stood there. His eyes were not aimed at the basket, but at the little Morris who was sent flying!

At this time, little Morris just regained his balance, and the two stood up and looked at each other, a look that lasted forever.

Little Morris finally remembered that he was still defending, so he gritted his teeth and rushed over, but Li Kaiming hit a three-pointer directly, officially freezing Little Morris in the highlights!

52 is better than 54!

After hitting a three-pointer, Li Kaiming stretched out three fingers to the sky, nocked the bow and arrow amidst the cheers of the MCI Center fans, and made a unique archery celebration pose!

The Spurs attacked, and Ginobili passed the ball to Parker, who cut through the basket and entered the basket. The latter rushed in and attracted Li Kaiming's help.

Parker suffered a lot from Li Kaiming in this series, so he learned a lesson and passed the ball directly to Morris.

Parker's passing level is really not good enough. The ball was passed very averagely. Morris, who was catching the ball, even had to adjust his center of gravity to stand firm.

After the assist defense was in place, Li Kaiming immediately turned around and attacked Morris Jr., who made a fake move to shake Li Kaiming away, and then made a handsome layup.

But what he didn't expect was that as a first-team All-Defensive player, how could Li Kaiming make such a stupid mistake?

He is standing on the ground, raising his hands can affect Morris's shooting, why should he jump up and miss it completely?

Think everyone is like you?

Morris Jr. had finished all his fake moves, but Li Kaiming's feet were still firmly planted on the ground.

In desperation, he had no choice but to force the dribble to break through. After reaching the basket and stopping the ball, he tried to use a fake move to shake Li Kaiming up!

Li Kaiming didn't jump at the first try. If he did at this time, let alone the coaches and fans on the sidelines, he himself wouldn't be able to forgive himself!

There was not much time left to attack, and Morris didn't have the vision to pass the ball to the outside, so he had to bite the bullet and force a layup, but Li Kaiming blocked the shot with a clean shot!

After blocking the shot, Li Kaiming crossed his hands at the ashen-faced Morris. The meaning was very obvious, I am forbidden to score goals!

Barkley, who was on the sidelines, showed an interested look on his face after seeing Li Kaiming's unique celebration gesture.

"I give 10 points for Li's innovation in celebration tonight! Whether it's the previous action of arranging a bow and shooting an arrow, or this action of refusing to lay up, no one has ever done it. I have a hunch that these two actions It will become a very popular celebration in the future..."

Blocking shots and celebrating don't affect the Wizards' transition fast break.

However, after experiencing the first half, the Spurs were also very wary of the Wizards' fouls.

Duncan on the inside turned his head and ran to the backcourt the moment he saw the attack was blocked, fearing that the Wizards would seize the opportunity and directly counterattack.

Fast breaks don't mean positional battles, and the Wizards are never afraid of any kind of game rhythm.

Li Kaiming succeeded in beating Morris in singles for three consecutive rounds. This time, when he caught the ball, Morris began to harass him, and he was very aggressive in grabbing the ball, as if he was not afraid of being passed by Li Kaiming at all.

In this case, Li Kaiming naturally had to meet this brother's request. He took one clean step and rushed inside the three-point line. The Spurs' defensive formation suddenly shrank by a big step!

Almost in an instant, Li Kaiming was surrounded by four people.

At the critical moment, he didn't have any panic in his heart. With a glance, he passed the ball directly to Leonard on the outside, who had the biggest opening.

After Leonard received the ball, he decisively shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately he missed!

The Spurs grabbed the rebound and handed it to Ginobili. After the latter took the ball, he only dribbled and passed a long pass to Parker who was coming down the frontcourt.

As Hinrich got older, it was really difficult to guard a quickie like Parker. In desperation, he had no choice but to deliberately foul and let the Spurs pass the ball forward.

After the ball was released, Ginobili made a gesture from the outside. Duncan and Morris Jr. went to double cover. Ginobili decisively chose Duncan's side to break through.

After one step inside, Li Kaiming on the other side came to help defend. Ginobili passed the ball from behind to Duncan, who received the ball and directly squeezed out Brac's hook and hit the board!

54 flat!

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides played fiercely, and the mutual lead continued until the end of the third quarter.

At this time, the score has become 71 to 70, and the Wizards lead by 1 point.

This game was the highest in this series in terms of both the intensity and the enjoyment of the goals, and the Wizards fans watching the game were all hooked!

The three commentators in the commentary box were all spitting ideas, and the exciting game made them all forget their own voices...

The break between quarters was very short, and the fourth quarter began quickly. Players on both sides remained consistent as they did at the beginning of the third quarter.

It seems that the two head coaches have reached a tacit agreement. If the winner is not determined today, there will definitely be no main force!

After coming up, the Wizards served to the frontcourt, and the triangle offensive tactics created an opportunity for Li Kaiming to single out Morris.

However, Popovich from the Spurs also came prepared. Almost the moment Li Kaiming caught the ball, Duncan on the inside stood on Li Kaiming's side.

At this time, Li Kaiming suddenly realized why Jordan, during the latter three consecutive championships, would take shots faster and faster and more decisively.

Because Jordan's singles will inevitably lead to double-teaming by his opponents, and the triangle offense actually creates opportunities for Jordan's singles.

In this case, to minimize the impact on the team's ball movement and avoid the situation where one person dribbles and beats the other four people standing and watching, Jordan must complete the shot or release the ball as quickly as possible.

This is actually a delicate balance between super personal ability and teamwork!

Doesn't Jordan have the ability to take more possessions and score more points? Of course!

But that will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the team's tactics, turning the team into serving the individual, and getting further and further away from winning...

So in this case, he needs to learn from Jordan in the latter three consecutive periods, create opportunities, and make decisive shots or passes!
