73 to 86. Seeing such a score, would you have thought that the Spurs would be leading? Unfortunately, this is indeed the case. After the third quarter, seeing such a score, the faces of the Mavericks fans on the scene were like A grey, silent and sad atmosphere permeated the entire American Airlines Center arena.

It is nothing to say that leading by [-] points, there is still a whole quarter, but when you, as a home team fan, see that the home team you support is behind from the beginning of the game, and you are struggling to catch up for three quarters, not only did you not catch up with the score once , The score gap is still expanding, and you will feel the same as the Mavericks fans.

It cannot be said that the players of the Mavericks did not play well, nor that the "little general" Johnson made a command error. None of these happened. Not bad, Stackhouse has 26 points, Jason Terry has [-] points, Devin Harris has [-] points, Josh Howard has [-] points, what else can you say when you see such an even distribution of points, tactics The play was not good, the coach did not command well, or the players were not in good condition.

None of these, the reason is that the Spurs played too well. From the first three-point goal in the opening game, the Spurs have firmly grasped the lead of the score. They have not given the Mavericks a chance to overtake, except for the Spurs. The team worked hard, the players worked together, and Popovich commanded well. The biggest reason was that the Spurs had two players who played so well.

Up to now, there is still a whole quarter to go. The Spurs star Duncan has scored 27, 33 rebounds, [-] assists and [-] blocks, but he is not the one with the most dazzling statistics. The selected potential rising star Stephen scored [-] points, nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks.

The assists of the two of them are basically given to each other. The two of them combine inside and outside, and they play well. At the same time, they often reverse their roles. There was a glimmer of hope for the Mavericks as a whole, and hope was taken away from them time and time again.

The two of them jointly scored [-], [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] blocks. Four-fifths of the Spurs' statistics are on them, but tonight, the rest of the Spurs Everyone is a supporting role in this show, whether it is Manu Ginobili who scored nine points, Robert Horry who scored six points, or Tony Parker who scored five points, even Popovich no longer needs to use him to turn decay into magic The on-the-spot command, just sit there and watch, and then occasionally replace people to adjust the physical strength of the players.

Before the start of this game, Popovich was not too eager to steal a victory at the Mavericks' home court. The most conventional layout of the Spurs to open the game.

However, the players of the Mavericks have the concept of winning, because they have already fought with their backs, and if they lose, they have to go home from the championship journey. It is their home court, so they were full of momentum from the beginning of the game.

But as soon as the game started, they lost to the Spurs in the jump ball. Then, when no one expected it, Duncan received a pass from Tony Parker from beyond the three-point line. He threw the ball with his hand, and the ball went in.

Such a weird thing can happen, which is beyond everyone's expectation. Duncan will also pull the outside line to shoot a three-pointer. Could it be that everyone is delusional and sees Robert Horry as Duncan, or is it that Duncan was Robert Horry is possessed.

Let alone the three-pointer, the Mavericks' offense is just about to start. Josh Howard's must-go dunk was unexpectedly blocked by Stephen. However, the Mavericks did not lose the ball, just as they were about to reorganize When attacking, Stephen suddenly took two strides to the side of Devin Harris, took it away from Devin Harris very easily, and then dribbled the ball slowly by himself after halftime, raising his hand was also a three-pointer. points hit.

Although the Mavericks also scored successfully, the Spurs followed suit. The two teams played back and forth for the score. The gap hovered around five points. This situation lasted until the end of the second quarter. In the middle, the Spurs replaced Duncan to rest and replaced Robert Horry.

Taking advantage of the confusion of the Spurs just changing, Jason Terry and Stackhouse each made a three-pointer, chasing the score to only one point, and then Robert Horry who just came on the field seemed to tell them what a three-pointer is. Mr. Fen, two consecutive three-pointers extinguished the momentum of the Mavericks chasing points.

It was just a tiny wave in the ripples, and towards the end of the second quarter, Nowitzki fouled Robert Horry, made two free throws, stole from Muhammad, and came back for a three-pointer. At this time, only [-] seconds left for the Spurs in the first half.

Popovich did not call a timeout to arrange tactics at all, but let the players play on the court. At this time, Robert Horry served the ball from the baseline. After a relay pass by Van Exel and Stephen, the ball came to Ginobili. In the hands of Nowitzki, Ginobili didn't have the slightest fear, but deliberately waited for a second before throwing the ball. When the ball flew in the air, the time of the game was over, but The ball eventually fell into the basket.

Entering the midfield with a five-point gap, the Mavericks were not discouraged. The five-point gap is not insurmountable. There is still a full half of time, and there are more than [-] reversals, let alone five points. The Spurs The team was not excited or joyful because of the lead, and faced the lead very peacefully.

The two teams re-entered the game just like the beginning of the game, but it was just like the beginning of the game, as if reincarnation was repeated, and it was like a repeat of fate. As soon as the game started, it seemed unintentional. Duncan once again Received the ball from beyond the three-point line, and then made another three-pointer.

If it is said that one three-pointer is very surprising, then two three-pointers, and both of them are more than surprising at the beginning of the game. Many fans looked at the score suspiciously when they saw this Is it because they haven't woken up from the dream in the first quarter, but after seeing the clear score above, they know that this is not a dream, but reality.

The players of the Mavericks were also hit all of a sudden. Although their minds were only slightly lost and they were called back by a timeout by coach Johnson, the Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to expand the score to more than [-] points in one fell swoop, and then did not give any more points. The Mavericks have a chance to get within ten.

Halfway through the third quarter, Stephen went off to rest. The Mavericks wanted to seize this opportunity, but Brent Barry, who was replaced, made a mid-range shot and then made Josh Howard an offensive foul. , assisted Duncan to score two points.

The entire process of the first three quarters was like this. Although the players of the Mavericks have not lost their fighting spirit under the guidance of "Little General" Johnson, their confidence is not so strong, and the fans of the Mavericks have long had no hope of winning this game. Hope, now only pray for God's blessing.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Stephen returned to the court. He didn't lose his touch because of the half-quarter rest, and he didn't lose his fighting spirit because the victory was within reach. It was another cut on the already scarred body, and then went to double-team Nowitzki, making Nowitzki's hasty shot miss.

After playing for more than 2 minutes, the Mavericks did not narrow the gap, but instead expanded to [-] points. As a last resort, Avery Johnson had to call a timeout in advance. Anyway, the Mavericks now seem to be standing on the edge of a cliff , One foot has already stepped on the ground, and if you don’t fight, you will only fall, so "Little General" Johnson told the players to give up defense from now on and put all their strength into offense. Anyway, they are counting on defense to suppress the Spurs. It is impossible to score, it is better to give up the defense directly, go all out to score, and see if it is possible to change the situation of the game.

This change is very effective. The Mavericks launched a wave of crazy offensive. The Spurs were a bit difficult to deal with at first. Soon after 3 minutes passed, the Mavericks chased the score to eight points. At this time, there were only four minutes left in the game. A little more.

At this time, Stephen was the first to react. When Stackhouse made another breakthrough to the inside, Stephen hit him hard and flew him out. Although he paid the price of one foul, he was sent out twice. Free throws, but Stephen told his teammates and opponents with this attitude that now is the last concern of the game, just like you die or I die, and there is no room for relaxation.

After returning, Stephen received a pass from Duncan and stormed the basket. Although the head coach said that there is no need to defend, it does not mean that the Spurs are allowed to score casually. What should be blocked should be blocked, but there is no need to use so much With energy, Josh Howard paid the price of six fouls in order to prevent Stephen's dunk.

With Stephen making two global free throws, the point difference between the two sides is still at eight points, and the Mavericks once again blocked their attack. This time, Duncan used his sixth block of the game to tell his opponent that Duncan is still young, and he is still as immobile as a mountain. "Stone Buddha".

In this kind of struggle, the game time was wasted bit by bit. The Mavericks were like pedestrians who fell into the water, struggling constantly, but a little effort was exchanged for occasionally coming out of the water to take a breath of pure air, and then Once submerged in the water again, all the Mavericks fans were calling, their eyes full of determination and sadness, but none of the fans left.

Even if the players of the Mavericks have exhausted all their strength and put in unprecedented sweat and blood, but facing the rock-solid Spurs, even though their offenses go back and forth like a frenzy, they still cannot change the fact that they are behind. In the end, he lost this crucial game.
