Chapter 387 He is the God of AT&T Center Arena Tonight
In the end, the Spurs were slightly better.

After a few minutes of hard fighting, the Spurs established a lead in the first quarter.

24: 21.

But in the second quarter, the situation changed.

After Duncan left the field, the Spurs were a little unstable.

As the Grizzlies' Gay and Lowry launched fast breaks again and again, hitting the inside, the Spurs struggled to cope, kept losing points, and even paid for many fouls.

Especially Lowry, he played exceptionally well today, playing the role of a surprise soldier.

Throughout the second quarter, Lowry scored a total of 7 points in breakthroughs and free throws.

The Grizzlies also quickly overtook the score and had the momentum to expand.

Popovich was helpless and replaced Duncan in advance again.

The effect is immediate.

As soon as Duncan came back, the Spurs' basket became out of reach of Lowry and Gay.

Duncan led the Spurs to play steadily, narrowing the point difference little by little.

End of second quarter, 45:46.

At the end of the three quarters, 69:65, the Spurs led by 4 points instead.

But it is worth mentioning that Duncan played another 32 minutes in the first three quarters, more than the time he played in the first game.

Popovich really used Duncan as an animal.

Of course, Popovich didn't want to either.

But the Grizzlies are too tough, Duncan is not on the court, and the Spurs are obviously at a disadvantage. Popovich can only let Duncan play for a long time.

前三节比赛，邓肯18投9中，加上罚球5中3，三节就砍了21分10篮板2助攻1抢断4盖帽。

On the Grizzlies side, Li Lei scored the highest score.

18投7中，三分球4中1，罚球5中4，得到了19分8篮板5助攻4抢断3盖帽。

However, Li Lei did not feel very good tonight, shooting less than 40% from the field, only 38.9%, 25% from three-pointers, 80% from free throws, and poor in all three fields.

But a superstar is someone who can stand up at critical moments.

In the last quarter of the game, Li Lei showed his firepower to fans all over the world.

In the first round, Gasol supported him from a high position, and Li Lei played a pick-and-roll with Milicic in the bottom corner, and immediately popped out of the three-point line after getting rid of Bowen.

Gasol Fu heart to, immediately passed the ball in the past.

Li Lei caught the ball and shot it.

Swish!
69: 68.

The Spurs attack.

Ginobili's strange snake-shaped breakthrough tore through the Grizzlies' defense, attracted double-teams, and gave the ball to Duncan.

Duncan easily dodged Milicic and scored.

Swish!
71: 68.

The Grizzlies attack.

Li Lei continued to run without the ball. With the help of his teammates' continuous screens, he got rid of Bowen, then received a pass from Gasol, and shot immediately.

Swish!
and also.

71: 71.

"Ho Ho, beautiful!"

In the studio of CCTV5, Teacher Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

"In the fourth quarter, the stone we are familiar with finally came back. He has scored 6 points in a row and helped the Grizzlies tie the score. Let us wait and see what kind of wonderful performance Stone will have next."

Spurs attack, Ginobili breakthrough caused Gasol foul, two free throws.

72: 71.

The Spurs continued to hold the lead.

But this 1-point lead can't reassure San Antonio fans at all.

Because the opponent's No. 15 player started running again.

"Defend! Defend! Defend..."

San Antonio fans spontaneously shouted in unison, cheering for the home team, hoping to disturb Li Lei with their voices.

Ran and egg.

With the help of his teammates, Li Lei successfully got rid of Bowen and received another pass from Gasol.

But this time, the smart Manu Ginobili was well prepared. He came to the defense as soon as possible, and directly bullied him, trying to force Li Lei to pass the ball or interfere with Li Lei's shooting.

"Beautiful defense!"

Even Popovich let out a sigh of relief and applauded Ginobili's performance.

Ginobili's physical fitness is average, and it can even be said to be relatively poor, but his basketball IQ is indeed the top in the NBA.

In the Spurs, everyone including Duncan had to listen to Popovich, but Popovich was not angry even if Ginobili robbed Popovich's tactical board.

Because Ginobili is so smart, he can adapt to the situation and make better choices in time... such as the current supplementary defense.

but……

Li Lei glanced at Ginobili out of the corner of his eye, then ignored him, stood up as if no one else was there, and opened his hands to shoot.

Ginobili jumped high, but found that he couldn't reach Li Lei's shot point, so he could only watch Li Lei shoot.

Do you have a high basketball IQ?

In the face of real strength, everything is a cloud.

Manu Ginobili did not interfere with Li Lei's shooting at all, so San Antonio fans can only put their hope in God.

"God bless! No! No! No... Swish!"

It's a pity that God can't stop Li Lei tonight.

72: 74.

Li Lei hit the third three-pointer in a row, scored 9 points personally, and overtook the score by himself.

These three three-pointers shot through the Spurs' defense, and also shot through the hearts of the Spurs players.

In the next round, the Spurs attacked, and Finley made an open three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Milicic received the rebound and found Li Lei immediately.

Li Lei is about to make a fast break when he gets the ball.

Fortunately, Ginobili hugged Li Lei directly.

foul!

Drip!

The referee blew the whistle.

Popovich breathed a sigh of relief.

Ginobili's foul is critical.

In the situation just now, the Spurs have already collapsed a bit. If Li Lei is allowed to play a wave of fast breaks, the Spurs will probably collapse completely.

Ginobili chose to foul at a critical moment, preventing the Grizzlies from playing a fast break and giving the Spurs a chance to breathe.

Popovich took the opportunity to call a long timeout to adjust the morale of the players and arrange tactics against Li Lei.

After the timeout, the ball still belongs to the Grizzlies.

Li Lei continued to run without the ball.

The Spurs know that Li Lei's ability to run without the ball is very good, and with the help of his teammates, it is almost impossible for the Spurs to guard Li Lei.

But the Spurs can focus on marking Gasol and prevent Gasol from passing the ball to Li Lei.

In addition to Gasol, the passing ability of Milicic, Lowry, and Jones is obviously not enough to cooperate with Li Lei's off-ball running.

Li Lei ran out of opportunities on one side, but couldn't pass the ball on the other side.

When the ball could be passed over there, Li Lei was watched again by the Spurs.

Li Lei struggled to get the ball until 24 seconds later, but he was still surrounded by Ginobili and Parker.

Li Lei didn't have time to think about it, so he feinted and made a jump shot.

Parker and Ginobili attacked from both sides, blocking Li Lei's shooting space.

Li Lei was forced to lean back sharply to gain space for shooting.But the range was too big, after Li Lei barely made a shot in the air, Li Lei directly fell heavily on the floor.

"The ball was too difficult, and Stone's shooting movement was deformed. But there was no way, it was nearly 24 seconds, and I had to force it."

Teacher Xu Jicheng shook his head and said.

Bang!

Sure enough, the basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced high.

"Finally not going in!"

Spurs players and San Antonio fans also breathed a sigh of relief.

but……

The basketball bounced high, then fell a second time, passing right through the middle of the hoop by coincidence.

Swish!
in?

in!

72: 77.

Li Lei hit his fourth consecutive three-pointer in the fourth quarter.

For a moment, the entire AT&T Center Arena was silent.

More than 2 San Antonio fans put their heads in their hands in disbelief, opened their mouths wide, and were stunned.

And Popovich looked bitter.

Ginobili and Parker put their hands on their hips, smiled helplessly and shook their heads.

On the other side of the ocean, in the CCTV studio, the young Yu Jia exploded in an instant.

"Li Lei! Li Lei! It's Li Lei again!"

"Three-pointers! Three-pointers! Three-pointers! Still three-pointers!"

"Li Lei made the fourth three-pointer in the fourth quarter, making four of four shots."

"Tonight, he hits every shot, no one can stop him!"

"He's the god of the night at AT&T Center!"

……

"Roar!"

On the court, Li Lei was lying on the floor, punching the sky and roaring, suppressing the entire arena by himself.

And this roar also shattered the last persistence of the Spurs.
