Chapter 720 Another victory

"drop!"

The whistle of the referee on duty raised the pitch of the already noisy roar and cheers in the arena.

"Damn!!"

Popovich frowned and stared at Carter and others who were about to leave the field. Amid the hustle and bustle of the entire arena, his mood was really terrible!

"Haha, it looks like the Warriors are about to start their efforts!"

Barkley laughed and looked at the excited fans all around. Thinking of the dunk and block before, his already very happy smile became more and more intense!
"Man, although I am also looking forward to the next game, can you restrain yourself?"

Kenny Smith looked at the dancing Barkley dumbfoundedly, feeling a little helpless for this guy with low excitement!

Back off the court, Popovich explained to Carter and others with a serious expression. From his actions, it can be seen that he was obviously a little anxious at this time!

When the two sides returned to the court again, the Warriors gradually showed their strong strength, especially on the defensive end. With the active input of Duncan and others, the Spurs gradually seemed to be in a quagmire on the offensive end, even in the first half. Carter and Bosh are in a perverted state, but now they are being hit again and again, and they have gradually transformed into two kings of iron!
"drop!"

In the end, when the third quarter of the two teams ended, if the Spurs hadn't been able to contribute some points, I'm afraid they would have put them in a desperate situation in this quarter!

"Damn it, it's only one quarter, and you actually ruined your [-]-point lead with your own hands! Can anyone tell me what happened to you?"

Popovich questioned Carter and the others loudly with a little anger on his face. In the previous section, they seemed to be suddenly frightened by the Warriors' toughness. In this section of the game, it was astonishingly dissipated!
Carter and other main players of the Spurs lowered their heads and remained silent. Even without Popovich's roar and questioning, they had already had a great entanglement in their hearts!
"Well, if you think the temporary outburst is very refreshing, then I hope you sit down and reflect on it!"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Popovich's expression very quickly, and he said in a tone full of warning.

After that, in the next fourth quarter, the Warriors relied on their stable performance and the good performance of the Spurs' substitutes. When the two sides played to the 8th minute, the Warriors finally took the lead for the first time in the game.

"Phew. Although I think the Warriors can still win in the end, seeing that they are finally ahead of the Spurs now, this can't help but make people feel a little relaxed!"

Bruce said with a relaxed smile on his face. Even though he was full of confidence in the Warriors before, he couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw that they finally got the lead!

"Hehe, it seems that your mentality is still not firm enough!"

West said nonchalantly, for him, the current performance of the Warriors has long been within his expectations. Besides, with so many years of experience in the NBA, West's vision is obviously more mature and confidence.

"Well, it looks like I'm still a little immature!"

Bruce laughed at himself, and then changed the subject with great interest!
"Jerry, do you think this year's Spurs have improved significantly compared to last year?"

Hearing Bruce's curious inquiry, West subconsciously glanced at the direction of the Spurs: "Yes, their progress this year is obvious to all, especially the core arrangement for Chris and Vince, which makes them gradually A solid building has been built with them at its core!"

"However, although they give me a very good feeling, I still think they are still missing something!"

Bruce frowned and thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty in his tone.

"Hehe, if they can have a leading defensive player inside, I think their lineup is also very strong!"

West thought that the Spurs now have some weak defensive insiders. If they can sign a center who is not efficient on the offensive end but has unique abilities on the defensive end, this will directly make them the most champion in the league. one of the teams!

"drop!"

A whistle interrupted the discussion between the two. As the players from both sides returned to the field, the breath exuded by the Spurs players couldn't help but excited the fans who noticed this situation!

As fans who love basketball, they are first of all fans who prefer their hometown teams, and secondly, they can enjoy games that excite them!
Now, with the huge turbulent transition between the Spurs and the Warriors, this directly drives the anticipation and excitement in their hearts.

Therefore, now that the Spurs players are looking dignified and their eyes sparkle, this is enough to make them look forward to it!
"In the last 4 minutes, we must use our strongest state to ensure our final victory. Even if the Warriors lead us by four points, in these 4 minutes, something must happen."

Watching the Warriors players look no less than their fighting spirit, Carter couldn't help but think of what Popovich told them before!
"We will definitely win in the end!!"

Carter clenched his fists secretly, with determination in his eyes, and walked towards Ginobili who was replaced on the field with a concentrated expression!

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, after receiving a pass from his teammate, Parker dribbled the ball and quickly ran forward. With Parker's current competitive ability, even though he is not the first choice on the offensive end, in Popovich's In the system, he still has a very important position!
With the arrival of Parker, Carter and others quickly ran along some established routes!
"Bang bang bang!!"

A muffled sound resounded from the half-court, and the players of the two teams confronted fiercely for a while, so that the fans sitting in the first row could hear it from time to time!
"It seems that they have come up with the strongest state!"

As the physical contact on the court gradually increased, these words emerged in the hearts of the fans in the first row!

"Vince!!"

Seeing that there were several other defenders who could not get rid of the defender for the time being, Parker hastily shouted at Carter. Judging from his non-stop slapping of the basketball, it was obvious that he was about to launch an attack by himself!
When Carter heard this shout, he first ran towards Parker quickly, and then even after a cover, he moved very quickly along the line on the other side and ran towards the inside line!

The two-line assault of Parker and Carter made Ginobili and Billups, who were beside them, follow closely subconsciously. With Duncan and Nowitzki, they are still very clear about the final result!
However, when Duncan and Nowitzki moved slowly to block the inside line, Parker, whose speed was not bad at first, suddenly stepped on the accelerator again like a super sports car, and then Duncan and the others were on the road. Unprepared, a black shadow seemed to appear in his eyes, and he saw that after a high toss, Parker's whole body wanted to fall under the basket as the basketball was hit!

"Hehe, Parker finally found his own style of play!"

After Bruce saw Parker playing such tactics and movements that were very common in his previous life, his eyes could not help but light up, and he said with a hint of surprise in his heart.

Parker's sudden attack made the Warriors players look at him with curiosity and amazement!

With Parker's thin body now, and his previous performance as a qualified starter under the cover of Carter and Bosh, now he suddenly came out like this, which really surprised them!

"Well, it seems that we have another guy who needs to defend!"

Off the court, Wilkens turned his head to PJ Carlesimo with a smile on his face and said, obviously he saw something from Parker's movements at a glance!
Then, in the next two and a half minutes, Parker seemed to erupt suddenly, directly causing the Spurs to bite the point difference of the Warriors!
When the two teams were about to enter the final minute and a half, as Popovich called a timeout, players from both sides returned to the field!
"Tony, you are ready to play next!!"

Wilkens called out Tony Allen first. Judging from his arrangement, it was obvious that he was going to play a defensive battle for more than a minute!
And as the two sides replaced several players one after another, when they came on the field, the lineups of the two teams seemed to be so tit for tat!
On the inside, the Warriors still use the combination of Duncan and Nowitzki, while on the outside, they sent Tony Allen while still keeping Caron Butler, who is very good in offense and defense, on the court. Although he is old, Payton is still very tough on the defensive end, and the Warriors' lineup allows people to see their intentions at a glance!
The Spurs side seemed a little decisive. They directly put Carter, Malik Rose, Bosh, Parker and Nazr Mohamed, who had a better offense than Nesterovic, in the lineup. A lineup of several people!
"Watch your movements!"

Popovich stood off the court, with his hands raised to his mouth, shouting loudly to the court!

And when the Warriors players saw these players on the field, not only did their expressions not respond, even everyone seemed to be fighting!

"It's about to start!"

All eyes were on Nowitzki, who was about to serve. They were obviously looking forward to the minute-long decisive battle between the two sides.

"drop!"

As the on-duty referee blew his whistle, the Spurs players quickly ran towards the Warriors players beside them, especially the harassment of Payton and Nowitzki. Once their tactics can be completed, they will directly Get the ball right after a violation, or a turnover!
"run!!"

Seeing that the time left for him was rapidly disappearing, Nowitzki hurriedly yelled into the field, and then saw Tony Allen quickly get rid of Carter as if he was stepping on a windmill, and ran to the frontcourt. !

"Give you!!"

After Nowitzki saw Tony Allen's action, he threw the basketball directly to the front court without saying a word!

And the Spurs players who heard his shout before, after seeing this scene, chased after him quickly with all their strength!
However, this kind of full-court defense finally revealed its loopholes. Tony Allen caught the basketball, and then even though Carter and others behind him couldn't catch up, he strode forward and directly used both hands to catch the ball. Filling the frame ended this attack!
And the Spurs, who were thinking of pressing, obviously failed completely in this round!
In the subsequent game, it seemed that the suspense was lost after the dunk. Even though Carter and others actively ran and cooperated with teammates to create some opportunities for them, I don’t know if all the luck was lost in the first half. Exhausted, they even shot some wild balls when they were open!
In the end, when the Warriors defeated the Spurs again by only four points, they carried the excited cheers of all the fans and went to San Antonio with high spirits and a double-kill score at home!
