After catching up to the score, the Spurs and the Mavericks began to increase the score by going back and forth. Neither of them had the ability to widen the gap in the score. Occasionally, a three-pointer was shot. It seemed that the situation of the game was about to change. Look, but it will come back soon.

The defense of the two teams is very good, and the offense is not too bad. Although the game is not very good, but in the eyes of the fans of both sides, such a fierce and tense game is the most attractive game. Take your attention away from the delicious food in your hand and the partner next to you, and devote yourself to the game wholeheartedly.

After three quarters, the two teams tied at 72. During the period between the two quarters, the coaches of both sides did not make any new arrangements, but let the players relax and prepare for the next decisive battle. At this time, adjust The significance of the role is not very big, what depends on the competition of willpower or the gap in talent between the two players.

The two sides returned to the court. At this time, the Mavericks are not as aggressive as when they first played, but relatively speaking, the Spurs, which put more emphasis on defense, consume more energy, so the two sides are still stalemate. Nor is it capable of breaking the deadlock.

At this time, Popovich put Ginobili on the court and replaced Michael Finley. Although Ginobili didn't play particularly well in the front bench lineup, at the critical moment, Popovich still Believe in your own lover even more.

This lineup can be said to be the strongest offensive lineup of the Spurs, and after Ginobili came to the field, he also brought Popovich's new tactical arrangement, with Tony Parker and Ginobili performing double insertions in the high position , while Robert Horry and Duncan mentioned both ends of the free throw line to provide screens for the two, and Stephen ran from one side to the other without the ball. Teammates pass the ball, and occasionally ambush the three-point position in the bottom corner.

This tactic can maximize the breakthrough ability of Tony Parker and Ginobili, and at the same time make better use of the screen and support capabilities of Duncan and Robert Horry, and hand over the second half of the entire half to Stephen. It can give full play to Stephen's flexibility.

This tactic has not appeared in the Spurs before, and Popovich did not let the players play it during training. It may be a new design by Popovich, or it may have existed in Popovich very early. on the tactical board.

However, although Stephen has never studied it, he has neither a fixed position nor a specific task in the tactics. He is allowed to play freely, so Stephen does not feel that there is any problem with this tactic, and the other four players have nothing to do either. problem, because they are playing the original tactics.

For example, Tony Parker breaks through, Duncan puts up the cover, or two people play support tactics. One piece, really the first time.

At this time, Tony Parker first retreated far to the vicinity of the midfield line, and then started to accelerate. Just like his "French sports car" title, Tony Parker's starting speed is not too fast, but his acceleration performance is quite Well, when his speed is at its peak, there are very few players in the league who can catch him even in possession, but his speed needs a little acceleration time.

At this time, he opened up the space first, and Stackhouse chose not to follow. This was the first mistake he made. When Tony Parker rushed over, he forgot to observe the situation behind him, and waited for Tony Parker to prepare. When passing through one side, he was about to intercept, but was blocked by Duncan.

Tony Parker rushed past the first line of defense, but between his position and the basket, there was Dampier as the second line of defense. At this time, Parker did not choose to force it, but swayed in front of Dampier After attracting Dampier's attention, he suddenly passed the ball behind Dampier.

In fact, it is appropriate for him to throw the ball directly above the basket at this time, but he did not choose this offensive method for safety reasons, but passed the ball to Stephen who was running over, and Stephen stopped to catch the ball. After a while, Josh Howard chased after Stephen, and Stephen had no chance to get up and dunk again, so Stephen had to turn around and run out with the ball.

There is a three-second limit for both the offensive and defensive sides under the basket. After Stephen ran out of the three-second zone, he suddenly turned around and got in again. Just like this, Josh Howard slowed down a step. Stephen stood up and jumped in the air, Josh Howard flew over to block the shot, but was a bit late, and Stephen dunked the ball directly, causing Josh Howard to foul at the same time.

Stephen's dunk obviously changed the situation on the field. With Stephen's free throw, the score gap was widened to three points, and Nowitzki's long-range three-pointer did not enter the basket. Ri took off this crucial rebound.

At this time, Popovich kept shouting on the sidelines to stabilize, and the Spurs were still in the same formation as before, but the initiator of this attack became Manu Ginobili, who waved his hand, Robert Horry immediately moved to the side, giving him room to break through, and Jason Terry immediately raised his vigilance on the side.

However, the threat of Ginobili's breakthrough is that you know he is going to break through, but you still feel helpless. Ginobili's breakthrough is a strange combination of direction change and rhythm change, so even Jason Terry raised his vigilance, but when Ginobili took a step to the left and a step to the right, he was left behind in just three or two strokes.

Robert Horry blocked Nowitzki for him. In order to avoid Dampier on the other side, Ginobili broke through a change of direction and rushed to the outside of the basket, so that he burst right in front of Josh Howard. , Josh Howard couldn't turn a blind eye to him, and immediately turned around and rushed towards Ginobili.

When he rushed over, he saw that the ball in Ginobili's left hand was thrown behind him. When he turned around again, he found that Stephen had already retreated beyond the three-point line. Position, holding the ball in his hand and about to launch, and this position has been out of his defensive range, even if he wants to go there, there is nothing he can do.

Stephen missed a three-pointer this time, but Ginobili grabbed the rebound first, and just when Josh Howard wanted to compete with Ginobili, he found that at some point, Ginobili's His hands were empty, and he turned around to watch. Stephen was ready for a three-pointer again.

All Josh Howard can do is to watch Stephen shoot this three-pointer again. It is the same as the three-pointer just now, and even the position has not changed. With the ball just now as a reference, Stephen's shot this time He couldn't miss it. After the ball flew out, it knocked on the edge of the basket, then turned around and flew down into the basket.

With a gap of six points, the "little general" Johnson had to call a timeout. Stephen walked to the bench while enjoying various celebrations of his teammates, such as Duncan's butt. Stephen's head rubbing and Ginobili's back thumping, etc., Stephen was in torment and pain, and kept throwing resentful eyes to his teammates.

Two consecutive offensive successes also allowed Stephen to enjoy the treatment appreciated by Popovich. Since the Spurs played just right, it was the Mavericks who called a timeout, so Popovich didn't make any adjustments. I went to my teammates and talked about it, let them raise their awareness of coping, and if possible, try to save the timeout until the last moment.

Back on the field after the timeout, Nowitzki made a strong and steady three-pointer, which stabilized the situation for the Mavericks. A quick-handed steal knocked the ball out of his arms, and Duncan picked up his hand from the ground and put it directly into the basket.

This goal basically offset Nowitzki's three-pointer just now, and brought the gap back to five points. This is a relatively safe range, at least it is impossible to change it with one ball, even if If you miss, you can also make up for it by strengthening your defense and attacking hard.

And this kind of situation also makes it difficult for the Mavericks. While ensuring the success of their own offense, they should try their best to defend the opponent's offense. Otherwise, the score gap will never be narrowed if they continue to score three-pointers and two-pointers. However, the strange formation Popovich put up has never been used by the Spurs, and the "little general" will not have any good solutions for a while.

Stephen's flexibility once again played a role. During frequent running, Stephen not only dragged Josh Howard exhausted, but also often ran to help his teammates cover. At the same time, if opportunities appeared in front of him, Stephen would never Attack unceremoniously.

With only 41 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Spurs still led the Mavericks by five points. In this quarter, Stephen scored eight points, but the Spurs only scored [-] points. And the Mavericks scored just [-] points in all of this.

The ball is now in the hands of the Spurs. This attack is particularly important for the Spurs. If they score, the Mavericks will have no chance, but if they fail to score, the Mavericks will still have a chance to win, so Bo Povich deliberately called a timeout to arrange tactics.

Due to Stephen's excellent performance in this quarter, Stephen was assigned the task of luring the enemy into a feint. Of course, if there is a chance, Stephen can also make a shot by himself, but if the opportunity is not too good, he must wait patiently for the opportunity or pass the ball to his teammates. .

The Spurs offense ran out of chance, but Tony Parker's floater missed, the rebound was taken off by Nowitzki, and then "Little General" Johnson called a final timeout, setting up a quick three-pointer , and then began to implement foul tactics.

But when the Mavericks players arrived on the court, they found that the Spurs' defense had been replaced by a full-court press, and they didn't give the Mavericks a chance to hit a quick three-pointer. It took nearly ten seconds just to dribble and land. , Waiting for Jason Terry to hit a three-pointer, there are only three seconds left in the game.
