Chapter 255 Chapter 264 + Chapter 5 Demon Sword: I Heard that I Was Blown Up? (Two in One Chapter)

Defense is not limited to one-on-one positional battles. The three flanks of the Spurs have done a very good job of restricting the Thunder's fast break.

Ibaka got the ball at the first time, but he couldn't give it out.

The Thunder's defensive counterattack did not start, and the ball was given to Harden who was running back.

When Harden took the ball to the frontcourt, the Spurs' positional defense had already fallen.

The Spurs' defense expanded relatively large, and Westbrook rushed to the basket with the ball.

However, Duncan was a pillar of the inside, blocked his layup, and took advantage of the defensive rebound.

If you don't fight fast breaks and fight for positions, the Spurs are completely worthwhile.

Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to play positions, and the Spurs wanted to stabilize the rhythm.

The Thunder are also fighting hard.

Before the game, Westbrook delivered an impassioned pre-match speech, which gave the players a burst of blood.

Coupled with the atmosphere of the home court, they are all excited.

Parker's breakthrough layup was directly blocked by Ibaka, and Perkins got a defensive rebound.

The Spurs were defended twice in a row.

Perkins took the ball and threw it directly to Durant who was going down quickly.

"Snapped!"

The ball was not passed, and it was directly intercepted by Leonard in advance!

Ball exchange!

Except for Ibaka, the Thunder's three young men are all on the fast break, and the backcourt is empty.

Parker took the ball and gave it to Duncan in the middle, and Duncan threw the ball to Tang Tian in the corner.

Tang Tian made an outside shot.

"Shua!"

The three-pointer hit the net.

The Spurs counterattacked the Thunder with a defensive counterattack!

Brooks shouted at Perkins from the sidelines.

Such a mistake is a big blow to the morale of the Thunder team.

The intensity of the game on the court was very high, and Harden's three-pointer was missed by Green's interference.

Looking back, the Spurs' offense has not yet scored.

After Perkins got another defensive rebound, he didn't dare to pass directly at this time.

Once the pass can't go out, the fast break can't get in at all.

The Thunder can only play position.

Durant's looping layup caused a foul on Leonard. After making two free throws, the Thunder took a 4-3 lead.

But in the next round, Parker finally scored a goal in the positional battle of the Spurs, and the Spurs went ahead 5-4.

The Thunder failed to fight fast breaks again and again, and could only compete with the Spurs, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

"I still love Popovich so much." Barkley couldn't help but speak in the commentary booth.

Because the Thunder started the game with all four young players, the Spurs' lineup, as long as they can withstand it, it will be an advantage.

About 10 minutes into the first quarter, the score on the court was 16 to 17, and the Spurs trailed by 1 point.

This score, the Spurs have withstood.

The two sides entered the rotation one after another.

For the Spurs, Parker and Tang Tian remained on the court, while Ginobili, Diaw and Splitter came on as substitutes.

For the Thunder, Durant and Serge Ibaka were on the floor, with Fisher, Sefolosha and Nick Collison coming on.

Tang Tian stuck close to Durant and didn't give a chance. Fisher missed a strong three-pointer from the outside and the rebound was accepted by Splitter.

Parker dribbled the ball to the front court, signaling the team to play the hammer tactics.

After receiving the ball, Ginobili was defended. He didn't wait for Tang Tian to settle down, and directly changed his rhythm, shaking Sefoloza in front of him and making a snake-like breakthrough.

It came out of nowhere, as Collison made a dive and Ginobili sent the ball into the basket with a drifting kick.

The Spurs overtook the score.

The Thunder's frontcourt offense still didn't have a chance.

The disadvantages of Brooks' lineup adjustment came out.

It is impossible for him to let the four minors play the first quarter. At this time, Westbrook and Harden are off the court to rest. The Thunder lacked a point on the court that can hold the ball and break through. They all run outside, and the court looks very crowded.

Durant finally gestured to pull away, and after receiving the ball, he turned and fell back facing Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was under pressure.

"boom!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and popped out, and the defensive rebound was protected by Splitter.

"Defense! Defense!"

The momentum was a bit wrong, and the DJ on the scene took the initiative to lead the fans to cheer for the home team.

The Thunder's defensive strength has been raised very high, and the Spurs' positional battle has no chance.

Seeing that 24 seconds were about to expire, Ginobili retreated for a three-pointer after facing Sefolosha's forced shaking.

Sefolosha did not lose his defensive position, and jumped directly to interfere.

This ball is tough.

"boom!"

The ball hits the rim.

But after rebounding, the ball still shot into the net bag!

21 to 17!

Ginobili scored 5 points in a row!

Durant missed a long three-pointer. After the first quarter, the Spurs had a 4-point lead.

"Charles, do you know who the outside world generally thinks James Harden's playing style is most like?"

O'Neill said.

"Manu Ginobili."

Barkley quickly gave an answer.

He is also good at breakthroughs, organization and step-back three-pointers. There is still a basic consensus in the league that Ginobili is Harden's template.

"Yes, but after the last game, many fans said that Ginobili was blown away by Harden. It seems that Ginobili is a little bit concerned."

O'Neal said with a smile.

"Maybe he's a little old, but the older he gets, the more evil he gets." Kenny Smith blew a wave along the way.

"It seems to be the tradition of this team, Tim, Manu, Tony also has this trend."

O'Neill also echoed it. He can be regarded as fighting with the three guys of GDP from the beginning to the present, which is completely fine.

Back in the second quarter, Brooks replaced Durant with Westbrook. Although his reaction was a little slow, he also realized that he needed to hold the ball on the court.

The Spurs also replaced Parker and Tang Tian with Mills and Green.

Diaw supported the Spurs' offense at a high position. After seeing Ginobili cut in, he hit the ball behind his back and passed the ball without looking at people.

The pass was full of flamboyance, but Ibaka's help defense at the basket was in place.

Ginobili's layup angle is very bad, and there is a high probability that the shot will be directly blocked by Ibaka.

He directly chose to jump out of bounds, and after forcing the small lever in the air to avoid Ibaka's block, he landed a small return throw.

A very difficult shot.

The ball narrowly passed Ibaka's side.

However, the spin of the ball was perfectly controlled, and the ball actually spun upwards, and then scored!

"Are you kidding me? How the hell can you get in?!"

O'Neal exclaimed directly.

Ginobili didn't play this kind of show routine when he was at his peak, but the ball just now was really not a little show!

"It's out of the water, buddy!"

Barkley also gave a very apt evaluation.

Westbrook faced the Mills bully in the frontcourt and won a free throw opportunity.

Two free throws were made, and the Thunder clung to the score.

Looking back, Ginobili felt it, and after directly signaling his teammates to pull away, he faced Sefolosha's continuous changes of direction.

It swayed sharply to break through, and then pulled back sharply.

Sofolosa staggered on his feet, leaned to the side, and was directly knocked down!

And in the next second, Ginobili collected the ball and then shot a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

The ball crashed into the net.

The Spurs bench was boiling.

Counting the 5 points at the end of the first quarter, Ginobili scored 10 consecutive points in less than five minutes!

The demon knife is out of its sheath!

26 to 19!

The Spurs opened the point difference to 7 points!

"Sabo, keep an eye on him!"

Brooks shouted at Sefolosha from the sidelines at this time.

Sefolosha is the best defender in the Thunder lineup. If he can't hold down Ginobili, then the Thunder will be in trouble tonight.

Westbrook continued to hit the basket, but the Spurs shrank their defense at this time, and his emergency stop and pull did not make a hit.

Duncan protected the defensive rebound.

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt, Ginobili repeated his old tricks, and Sefolosha's press from outside the three-point line just opened up space.

"boom!"

The ball was shot a little bit wide, and after going in, it bounced out again, shocking the fans and Thunder team members into a cold sweat.

If this goal is scored, the Spurs will stretch the score to double digits.

Westbrook didn't make a three-pointer.

Brooks called both Durant and Harden.

Tonight, he was going to use Si Shao to his death.

Popovich also called Tang Tian and Leonard.

It's not a wide technical platform, and the front is full of players at this time.

"Defense! Defense!"

The shouts on the scene were loud, and the Thunder had a strong defense.

Green's running three-pointer was blocked, and Dior didn't have a good chance.

Seeing that 24 seconds were approaching, Ginobili shook the outside line again.

This time, he tricked Sefoloza with a three-pointer so fake that it could be real, and directly snaked through and killed.

Facing Ibaka who was assisting in the defense, he made a sudden stop and fell back.

"Snapped!"

"Shua!"

Ibaka's shot blocker, Ginobili's shot also scored!

He has scored 12 points in a row!

"This is Ginobili who many people think has been blown away!" O'Neal on the sidelines continued to brag.

"He's bald, but he's still strong," Barkley said with a laugh.

The game entered a dead ball, and the two sides replaced one after another.

Ginobili made a free throw, and the Spurs opened the point difference to double digits.

What should come is still coming.

The Thunder changed back to the four young players, and the offensive firepower finally continued.

But after Tang Tian and Leonard came up on the Spurs side, they still couldn't play their best fast break.

And on the offensive end, Ginobili began to pass the ball after being focused on marking, and the Spurs' offensive end did not fall behind.

After halftime, the Spurs led the Thunder by 10 points 55 to 45.

Judging from the score in this half, Brooks' formation is obviously not as good as Popovich.

Popovich's starting adjustment has worked wonders.

"I owe you half a bottle of '80s."

When the midfielder returned to the locker room, Popovich pointed to Tang Tian with a smile and said.

The outside world will attribute his fame to him, but only he himself knows that this credit belongs to Tang Tian.

Half a bottle of 80-year-old red wine is already worth the price.

Tang Tian nodded after hearing this, but couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.

Why does he feel that he has a tendency to be appointed as a drinking buddy by Popovich?

Back in the second half, Brooks made adjustments and put Harden back on the bench.

The Thunder's offensive firepower has decreased, but Westbrook regained his touch and scored consecutive sudden shots.

At the end of the three quarters, the score was 73-80.

The Thunder recovered some points, and the 7-point difference made the game still full of suspense.

Brooks did a good half-time adjustment. He played with the combination of Harden and Durant at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This is a lesson learned from the first half.

For the Spurs, Parker and Tang Tian were on the court, plus Ginobili, Diaw and Splitter.

The Spurs took the lead, and Diaw's turn-around layup was interfered by Ibaka.

The Thunder have a chance to narrow the point difference to less than 5 points.

Harden's organization, Durant ran off the ball and caught and shot.

Tang Tian's defensive pressure was so great that it completely blocked Durant's shot vision.

"boom!"

Durant's shot failed to hit.

There was a sigh.

At this anxious moment, a ball may directly determine the trend of the entire game.

The offense didn't score, and the Thunder team defended with all their strength.

The Spurs' hammer tactic couldn't work out, and Tang Tian was closely watched when he came out. He directly mentioned the high position and blocked one for Ginobili who was holding the ball.

Manu Ginobili faced Durant in a dislocation, made a fake move to break through, and then directly made a iconic three-pointer.

Durant's long arm interferes.

This ball is very difficult.

"Shua!"

But Ginobili made the shot despite the pressure!

His personal 22nd point of the game!

The fans on the sidelines were restless.

Durant didn't make a shot just now, and he was knocked out by Ginobili, here and there is a 5-pointer.

The point difference came to double digits again!

Durant was stalked by Tang Tian, ​​and Harden took the ball to kill the basket at this time.

But at this time, he didn't have the sharp European step like Ginobili, and his intention to break through was judged by Dior under the basket, and he stretched out his hand to interfere.

Harden was forced to stop the ball, butt butt Diaw to try to get up again.

But he didn't notice that Tang Tian had come to defend him at this time.

"boom!"

Tang Tian directly rewarded Harden with a big hot pot.

This hot pot also confused Harden and the Thunder.

After Diaw got the rebound, it was immediately given to Ginobili.

Ginobili was one-stop in the backcourt, dribbled past Fisher behind his back, and scored with a light drifting layup!

The point difference widened to 12 points!

Brooks was a little anxious and shouted at the field.

The Thunder failed to make a counterattack in this game, but were beaten by the Spurs instead!

At the critical moment, Harden played off the ball and took advantage of Ibaka's pick-and-roll to catch the ball for a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

The key goal was scored.

After he made the shot, he maintained his shooting posture, with a slightly pretentious expression.

The entire Pisacek Energy Arena was boiling.

coming soon!

In the last game, Harden's three three-pointers directly changed the situation of the game.

Now it's coming again!

"Defense! Defense!"

This three-pointer also rekindled the emotions of the home fans, and the cheers and cheers were overwhelming.

The Thunder's high-pressure defense and the Spurs' frontcourt offense couldn't play.

Tang Tian tried to play a pick-and-roll for Ginobili but failed.

With only 5 seconds left in the attack, Tang Tian had no choice but to pull Ginobili away.

Ginobili hits Harden's chances.

Change direction, break through fake moves, and take a three-pointer.

Harden seemed to see himself, successfully predicted Ginobili's choice, and tried his best to save the block.

But Ginobili didn't make a shot, but waited for a while, and waited for Harden to pounce on him, and took the initiative to lean in before making a shot.

"beep!"

The referee whistled, and Ginobili tricked Harden into a foul!

"Shua!"

And the next second, the ball went in!

3+1!

Manu Ginobili's 27th point!

The fans at the scene were stunned.

This is Ginobili who was blown up by Harden in their mouths!

This is the 34-year-old Ginobili!

Tang Tian was excited and rushed forward to give Ginobili a high five.

Ginobili, this is teaching Harden to be a man!

Thanks for the reward from Tuba Kyushu when the flowers bloom and the pinellia ends.
