Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

San Antonio, Game 4 of the series.

On the court, Rajon Rondo and Ginobili were politely greeting each other's mothers. And around them, a bunch of players and referees were pulling them apart, telling them to stop being polite, that's almost it.

"We have seen too many such heated scenes in this round of the series. The two sides have been tit-for-tat since the first game of the series, and conflicts almost broke out several times. I think this is probably what the fans are looking forward to. One-game series reasons."

Mike Breen's palms were sweating when he saw it. The series between the Suns and the Spurs was more intense and brutal than people imagined.

It feels like the two teams are not only competing for success, but also deciding between life and death.

As expected, both the Suns and Spurs passed the test of the first round smoothly.

The Suns swept the Hornets 4-0, while the Spurs swept the Nuggets 4-1.

Angua and Paul, members of the 50-point playoff club, can talk about their 50-point playoff experiences on a banana boat together.

It’s hard to find such close friends with similar experiences!

The game between the Spurs and the Suns was on the verge of death from the beginning.

In the first game of the series, in Phoenix, home of the Suns, the Spurs unexpectedly took the lead and won the game 112-106.

In this game, Duncan really destroyed the Suns' weak inside line, scoring 35 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks.

8 of them are offensive rebounds!

Li Ang repeatedly tried to use his jumping advantage to fight for rebounds, but Duncan's positioning was really good.

He can occupy the most advantageous position every time and firmly protect the rebound.

In addition, Ginobili also performed well in this game. Facing the rough defense of his old enemy Raja Bell, he made 14 of 22 shots and scored 32 points with a super high shooting rate of 63.6%.

If a guard shoots more than 60% from the field, it can basically be said that he is amazing today.

Laga Bell defended very hard. As one of the best outside single defense experts in the league this season, Bell still continued his rough and aggressive defensive style.

But Ginobili played very poorly today, and because of the lack of frame protection inside, Manu and Duncan played very well in the pick-and-roll.

In fact, Gortat and Tim Thomas were already defending very hard. After all, they were both people who experienced the tiebreaker series last season. They had some personal grudges against the Spurs, so it was impossible for them to not contribute.

But today Duncan and Manu really can't stop them.

When guarding against that paralyzed face, you always feel that you have guarded him, and that he can only use the most basic movements to take action.

However, with the most basic moves he can score!

As for Manu, it was even more irritating. Gortat blocked the inside in time on several occasions, confronted Ginobili in the air, and caused Ginobili's movements to be deformed due to the confrontation.

But he casually threw it at the rim, and the basketball went in. I wonder if you are irritated or not.

Not to mention the Suns players, even the old thieves have no idea what Ginobili's ball is about.

He is like those cosplayers at comic conventions, you can’t tell whether they are male or female, and whether you can enter or not.

You thought the girl in the skirt was a girl, but when she went to the toilet, she was older than you.

You thought Ginobili couldn't score the ball, but the basketball went hollow into the net.

Scoring a goal is like opening a blind box, it's exciting.

Li Ang also tried to help defend Duncan, but facing Duncan and Ginobili who were both firing at the same time, Li Ang could not block all the gaps even with a diamond-level assist defense badge and a lateral speed of 95.

In this way, Duncan and Manu scored 67 points together and got the series off to a good start at the Suns' home court.

Li Ang faced the Spurs' almost crazy attack and still scored 34 points.

However, Nash only scored 13 points under Kidd's full defense, and his shooting percentage was not high.

In this round of the series, due to the large scale of whistleblowing, the new rules are almost useless.

In this game, Kidd was like a greasy boss going to a KTV to spend money. He wanted to touch Nash next to him all over.

In the first game, the Spurs used defense to contain the Suns' proud offense.

Both sides were very active in this game, but because they both wanted to win, there were no direct conflicts, only frequent quarrels.

In the second game of the series, just when Popovich thought he could return to San Antonio with a 2-0 lead, Leon led his team to a strong comeback.

Duncan's performance in this game was still outstanding. He was crazy in the paint, scoring 29 points and 13 rebounds.

But today, Duncan was playing vigorously on the inside, but found that Ginobili on the outside started to hang up!

The reason why Ginobili suddenly hung up was simple. Li Ang personally defended Ginobili in the second half!

Li Ang's strong defensive switching ability can easily break Ginobili's pick-and-roll.

As long as they encounter pick-and-rolls, the Suns will resolutely switch defenses.

Anyway, Li Ang won't suffer too much no matter who he faces.

Relying on this move, Ginobili was brought back to his original form in the second game. He shot 5 of 14, less than 40% from the field, and only scored 13 points.

In addition to defense, Li Ang was also still strong on the offensive end, leading the team to victory with 30 points.

1 to 1!

Nash and Kidd continued to hurt each other in this game. Kidd focused all his energy on the defensive end, and Nash had difficulty getting rid of Kidd's defense. So Kidd and Nash scored 5 points and 8 points today.

Hats off to Paul!

Paul: Can you drive here to me in Geneva?

Angua: Brother, don’t worry, you will soon find that even next season, it will still be open to you~

As of now, both sides are evenly matched.

The scheduling between King Popovich and Tomjanovich is also very exciting.

Tomjanovich's change in defensive strategy in the second game fundamentally solved the Spurs' offense.

In the third game, Popovich didn't make too many adjustments. He just increased Horry's playing time, allowing him to open up space for Duncan as much as possible, allowing Duncan to attack the Suns' weak inside line.

But Tomjanovich made a big move today.

In the previous two games, Nash played a V-shaped pick-and-roll with Diaw and Gortat.

But because the scoring ability at the fifth position has plummeted, Duncan can often delay Nash on the first pass after the pick-and-roll, and then retreat after Kidd is back in position.

But today, Tomjanovich used the two strikers Li Ang and Diaw to play a V-shaped attack with Nash.

Nash, Leon and Diaw all have offensive threats, and the Spurs will not be able to switch defenses no matter what. Moreover, the forwards played pick-and-rolls and pushed aside Duncan, the Spurs' strongest defender.

This directly disrupted the Spurs' defense.

In fact, if the Suns want to play a good offense, they don't need to be so complicated. They can just use Master Tang's ancestral one-star shooting.

But this is only the second round of the series, after which there will be the Western Conference Finals and the Finals.

The master doesn't want Li Ang to overdraw early.

It is true that Li Ang's physical ability is very abnormal, but no matter how persistent a man is, there will be times when he cannot bear it.

Therefore, Master Tang's strategy for this game is to liberate Nash and share the scoring pressure with Li Ang.

Nash did very well. Under the V-shaped pick-and-roll coordinated by the strikers, Nash scored 24 points in the game, while Leon and Diaw scored 34 and 20 points respectively.

The three of them scored 78 points together, completely defeating the Spurs' proud offense!

For the Spurs, Duncan only scored 20 points in average condition today, and Ginobili scored 28 points.

The performance of these two people today cannot be considered bad. After all, they scored 48 points together. But compared with the Suns' powerful three-gun salvo, Duncan and Ginobili scored 58 points together, not to mention 48 points.

Paul: I beg you, please stop!

On the Suns side, Nash, who had been in the doldrums for two games, finally gained some courage. On the other hand, Kidd

Today is still 8 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. The king of three singles is stability!

At this point, the total score of the series became 2-1, and the Suns came from behind to take the lead.

In the fourth game, if the Suns can win again, the total score of the series will become 3 to 1!

Popovich knows what this means very well. No team that is beaten 3-1 by Li Ang will be able to counterattack in the end.

Therefore, for the Spurs, they will be desperate in Game 4.

But Popovich found that he couldn't solve the Suns' offense!

Diaw and Leon's V-shaped pick-and-roll for Nash was really disgusting.

Although Kidd's defense is good, he can't ignore the pick-and-roll every time, right?

If you double-team Nash, Diaw and Leon will have a chance.

Let Nash go. If you really dare to let him go, you really dare to advance.

Although Nash has never averaged more than 20 points per game in any season of his career, you must not underestimate his scoring ability.

The scoring ability of top point guards cannot be underestimated.

Just like Paul, even though he only averages 16 or 7 points per game, he can score 58 points when it's critical.

Another example is Kidd, even though he averages less than 20 points per game, he really dares to score 0 points at critical moments!

Point guard, what a magical position.

Popovich currently has no way to solve the Suns' offense. Nash paired with a V-shaped pick-and-roll was originally unsolvable. In the two consecutive championships when the Suns had a complete lineup, their offense was never blocked.

And now, the V-shaped attack cannot be stopped either.

Popovich can only hope that Kidd's defensive performance will be better today, and that Nash or Leon will be worse.

As a result, things did not develop as he expected.

In today's fourth game of the series, the confrontation between the two sides became more fierce, and Li Ang became more flexible on the defensive end.

He has completed two beautiful assist defenses against Duncan today.

Just now, Ginobili, who was 6 points behind, was a little anxious and punched Diaw's two dragon balls while bypassing the pick-and-roll.

So there was the scene where Rondo rushed over to prepare for a boxing match, but was blocked by both sides and ended up greeting the opponent's mother on the spot.

Li Ang ignored this conflict. He kept telling himself to endure this series, but he must not be eliminated because of being ejected again.

What's more, the Spurs are now half buried in the ground. Today, the triangle relationship between Nash, Leon and Diaw is still very stable, and the scoring is smooth.

The Spurs relied solely on Duncan today.

Just a few more minutes of this and the Spurs will collapse!

By then, the Suns will have a 3-1 match point!

Thinking of this, Li Ang couldn't help but smile.

After the Spurs, there is the Mavericks. If you torture the Mavericks again, it will be the finals.

Can the championship be far behind?

There is no need to take action with the Spurs, just let them worry about it.

Li Ang is already thinking about the next game, and the Spurs now have to save their lives.

If they lose today, although the Spurs will not die suddenly, it is equivalent to beating ten times a day - they will die sooner or later!

I can't help but think that I must win today's game and go to Phoenix with a score of 2-2, so that there is room for maneuver.

Now that the methods on the field are not working, then...

So, during this timeout, the first thing Popovich said when he stood up was: "I want some nasty! Beat me dirty!"

Popovich can't lose, not anymore.

He must use a championship to keep Duncan in San Antonio.

In order to achieve his goal, he doesn't care what means he uses.

Last season, the Spurs relied on these tricks to defeat the Suns.

After the old thief finished speaking, Ginobili found everyone staring at him.

Ginobili is convinced, why are you all looking at me?

Whoever of you likes to do something evil, but I don’t dare to do it anyway.

I've already played Dior's Dragon Ball, and I've already taken a big risk, okay?

Damn it, if I go to get Nash again, I'm afraid if it wasn't for Li Ang, I would have to experience the pleasure of squirting on the spot.

I’m not going anyway!

Seeing that Ginobili didn't express his position, the old thief looked at Horry.

Pachulia can't be counted on. Pachulia didn't play much in this series because he told the old thief that he had a stomachache every day.

To put it bluntly, Zhazha just didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of Li Ang. He never wanted to experience the feeling of having his jaw fixed with a wire and having to rely on liquid food to eat.

Horry looked behind him and found that there was no one behind him.

"Stop looking, it's just you! This is all for the team, Robert!" The old thief stood up and patted Horry on the shoulder: "It's okay. If you don't believe it, just ask Ginobili. It's just... It’s just a little bit of pain!”

Horry almost cried, I am just a part-time worker, and you actually asked me to work hard!

There was no other way, Horry could only nod his head and decided to go along with it.

To put it bluntly, this is still a lack of ideological awareness. If it were Iguodala, not only would he not agree to the old thief's request, he would also have to quietly inform Li Ang.

Seeing the Spurs players back on the field, the old thief smiled.

Since the problem cannot be solved, then solve the people who created the problem!

Just less than two minutes after returning from the timeout, Horry took action.

In this attack, he deliberately set up a pick-and-roll for Kidd, and then when Nash bypassed him, he punched Lao Nash on Xiao Na.

Nash held Gill in his hand at that time, it was over!

He lay on the ground and struggled for a few seconds with his teeth bared.

Just when Li Ang was about to approach Horry, Nash quickly got up and walked to Li Ang: "It's about 3 to 1!"

Horry is also very nervous. He has not forgotten how Popovich, Ginobili and Pachulia were beaten by Leon last time.

But there is no way, in order to win, he must take risks.

Under Nash's comfort, Li Ang did not react for the time being. In order to avoid a scene like the Christmas brawl from happening again, the referee also gave Horry a first-level flagrant foul.

This means that Horry will be directly ejected and suspended if he messes up again.

But that doesn't stop Horry. If he can trade with Nash for one, it would be worth it.

George Karl was crying. Well, if he had such a determined black hand, he thought he could win the championship.

Sure enough, the players are all from next door, and the wives are all from next door.

The game went on for several more rounds, but the Spurs still couldn't narrow the point difference.

Popovich was also anxious and kept urging Horry to complete the master's task.

Finally, just two minutes into the fourth quarter, Horry couldn't hold it any longer.

In this round, Duncan hit the mid-range shot, Diaw got the rebound, and then immediately passed the ball to Nash.

Naturally, Nash would not miss this counterattack opportunity. He sprinted hard and started to set the rhythm.

Popovich quickly shouted: "Stop him, stop him!"

Because if this goal is scored again, the Spurs will be 9 points behind!

Just when Nash was about to run across the midfield line, Horry suddenly rushed out. He was like the big truck that hit and killed the supporting character in the TV series. He hit Nash hard without any reservation and knocked Nash out of the field!

Nash's back hit the billboard hard, and this familiar scene played out in front of Li Ang's eyes.

Li Ang couldn't bear it anymore and strode towards Horry, but Haslem on the bench rushed to the court first, kissed Horry, hugged him and lifted him high, beating him until Horry screamed repeatedly.

The physical conflict finally broke out!

Li Ang shouted: "Add one more, I'm not good at fighting!"

But before he could get off the field and turn the conflict into a multi-player sport, three referees appeared around him and grabbed him tightly.

The Spurs did not fight back because their goal had been achieved.

Horry is convinced, don't laugh now, but hurry up and start a fight. Damn it!

Nash was lying on the ground, and this time he didn't stand up again.

Nash's already fragile back was severely injured. After a simple inquiry from the team doctor, Nash was carried off the field directly!

On the sidelines, Popovich covered his mouth and snickered.

I will let you set the pace all day long!

I was struck by lightning for blindly playing the rhythm!

Li Ang, Li Ang, without Nash and without O'Neill, your series is over!

After that, the old thief waved his hand magnificently: "Mike!"

He shouted assistant coach Budenholzer's name.

"I'd rather tell you something." Budenholzer thought Popovich had come up with a good idea to turn the game around.

As a result, Popovich said: "Listen up, you have to stand in front of me from now until the end of the game, and you are not allowed to leave without my order!"

Well, Popovich is crazy now, but he really doesn't want to squirt again.

In fact, he, like Ginobili and Pachulia, has been beaten.

Budenholzer:

Damn it, when did the assistant coach have to work part-time as a sandbag?

Li Ang wanted to go directly to trouble Popovich, but the master personally came on the scene to hold Li Ang back.

"If you fight him, you will lose, but if you don't fight, you can still win! Killing will kill the heart, killing will kill the heart!"

"Fuck you!" Li Ang threw the basketball hard against the Spurs bench to vent his emotions.

The basketball flew past Budenholzer's head, scaring him into a cold sweat.

After it was over, Popovich was still hiding from the fire behind him: "You hit, keep hitting, aim and hit, see if I can dodge!"

Budenholzer is convinced, you special code should shut up now!

Li Ang was very unhappy: "Are you just going to watch them do whatever they want!?"

No one spoke, but Rondo gritted his teeth.

Let them do whatever they want? Of course not, the Spurs have to pay the price too!

Although Horry was sent off for two flagrant fouls, the price for Rondo's mission was not enough.

The Spurs also need to lose a star!

Two minutes later, Ginobili left the court with a shoulder injury.

Director Long did it.

When he was defending Ginobili for a layup, after Ginobili jumped into the air, he pushed him from behind to give him a little more help.

Rondo believes in one principle - if you mess with my stars, I will mess with your stars too!

If it's not convenient for Li Ang to do it, then I'll do the job!

In the last Christmas game, Rondo opened Duncan's eyes with an elbow.

This time, he retaliated and punished Ginobili.

So today, the Suns and Spurs lost four people in a game. Even boxing is not so hurtful.

Seeing that Ginobili couldn't continue the game, Popovich was so angry that he almost suffered a cerebral infarction.

We can be dirty, but how can you be dirty? Do you still have martial ethics?

Well, this is what double-standard cancer is like in its late stages. Double-standard cancer should be justified.

However, although Ginobili went off due to injury, the Spurs still had the advantage.

Without Nash, the Suns lacked an offensive point and could not play the V-shaped pick-and-roll that killed the Spurs.

The Spurs themselves are a defensive team. As long as Duncan and Kidd are there, their system will not completely collapse.

Relying on strong defense, the Spurs gradually approached the score, and Li Ang basically had to fight alone.

However, relying on his strong personal ability, Li Ang stabilized the score at the last moment.

However, Duncan's turnaround jumper 3.2 seconds before the end of the game put the Suns behind by 3 points!

Today, Duncan's performance was almost as good as in the first game. After this goal, Duncan has scored 37 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks!

If it weren't for his support, the Spurs probably wouldn't have survived the fourth quarter.

Now, he scored another quasi-winner, which highlighted Duncan's greatness tonight.

In the last 3 seconds, Li Ang had another chance to change his fate.

But this time, Li Ang's perfect three-pointer bounced out due to the interference of two people!

At the moment the game ended, everyone on the Spurs rushed in front of Duncan and surrounded the basic player.

As for Li Ang, after he missed the shot, he took off his jersey and smashed it into Popovich's face, and then walked into the tunnel.

Popovich thought Li Ang was going to take action, and his sphincter relaxed in fear: "Pfft!"

"What's the sound!?" Budenholzer glanced at Popovich.

I saw Popovich covering his butt: "It's nothing, I controlled it this time, I only missed a little bit!"

A large number of reporters surrounded Li Ang, but Li Ang ignored them and went his own way. While walking, Li Ang suddenly punched the wall of the players' tunnel.

Because the wall of the player tunnel is made of wood, a hole was directly punched by Li Ang.

2 to 2, there is a high probability that Nash, Haslem, Ginobili and Horry will not be able to play in the next game. They lost four people at once. Both sides paid a heavy price to win.

This also means that the next game will be a head-to-head confrontation between Duncan and Li Ang!

No one will bother them and no one can help them.

Today, victory undoubtedly belongs to No. 21. He has better statistics than Li Ang and also scored key goals. It can be said that Duncan's performance today really outperformed Li Ang.

Whether Li Ang can win back a victory over Duncan will directly determine whether the Suns' efforts this season will be in vain.

At this time, Kidd stood up silently.

"What, you forgot that Duncan still has me as his helper? Hey, why are you ignoring me!?"

Today I have 11,000 words, and I am asking for votes online!
