Chapter 214 Only one step away from the finals
"Qin's sudden outburst caught the Spurs by surprise. When the point difference was further widened, Popovich had to request a timeout."
"You have to know that this section of the game has just started for more than two minutes. For the Spurs, this is not a friendly signal!"
"See if this pause can help them find a way to deal with Qin."
The Spurs home fans have also become nervous. The current situation is not optimistic. It depends on Popovich's ability to adjust on the spot.
On the sidelines, on the Spurs bench, Popovich sternly said: "Listen to me, now Qin must be double-teamed at all times, even if he plays off the ball, we have to keep a close eye on him, as for the others , if it leaks, it leaks."
In order to completely restrain Qin Xiao, the old man Bobo's arrangement was very decisive.
He knew very well that no one could guard against Qin Xiao alone.
And this kind of gambling defense still has a certain chance.
Once the bet is won, the points behind can be recovered little by little.
If you lose the bet, there is nothing you can do about it. In short, now is to give it a go!
Soon, the timeout ended and the game continued.
The Spurs sent a sideline kick and successfully scored a goal through tactical movement.
Looking back, the Lakers attacked.
Nash advanced the frontcourt with the ball and observed Qin Xiao's running position.
Once he ran out of space, he immediately passed the ball.
But Nash suddenly discovered that there were actually two people chasing Qin Xiao.
Looking at Artest in the bottom corner, there is no one in front of him.
Nash immediately understood Popovich's intentions. Since the other party wanted to bet, let him lose completely.
He did not choose to pass the ball to Artest. Although Artest has a certain shooting ability, he is not stable.
Like Nick Young, he is a neurotic player.
A certain game played like a super giant, and a certain game was so broken that he couldn't see it. JR is also this type of player.
So Nash decided to take a more secure way to attack. He waved his hand and signaled Artest to come up to cover.
Nash got around his body, made a successful drive toward the paint, and shot a jumper near the free throw line.
Even though Nash is no longer at his peak, jump shots from this distance are still very stable, at least much higher than Artest's three-pointers from the bottom corner.
In the next second, the basketball made a hollow hit.
"Good shot, Steve Nash deserves to be the winner of two consecutive MVPs."
"He always maintains a clear mind on the court, and he knows what to do in what situation."
"The Lakers put him on the bench, and partnering with Qin is definitely the wisest choice."
"Although the Spurs restrained Qin, they liberated others."
"In this way, the possibility of the Lakers winning tonight's game is very high."
"Now, the Spurs can only pray that the Lakers don't feel good, so that they will have a chance to recover the point difference."
In the next few minutes, Qin Xiao was always guarded by many opponents.
He only occasionally had the opportunity to score the ball, and most of the time he played the role of a pinner.
Attract most of the Spurs' defensive attention and create excellent offensive opportunities for teammates.
Although the Lakers' bench abilities are limited and their scoring efficiency is not as good as Qin Xiao's, they can still score a lot of goals.
In this case, the scores of the two sides have been rising alternately, and no one can do anything to the other.
Halfway through the second quarter, the main players of both sides returned to the field.
"Tonight's success or failure depends on the second half of this quarter. If the Spurs take advantage of this opportunity to narrow the point difference to single digits, they will still have a chance to come back. Otherwise, it will be difficult!"
As soon as the words fell, Kobe hit a long-range three-pointer from the outside on the Lakers side.
When he and Qin Xiao were on the court at the same time, the Spurs' defense seemed powerless.
He had to take care of Qin Xiao and keep an eye on Kobe, and in the end he might not be able to guard against any of them.
"Tony Parker throws the ball to Tim in the post, and Tim catches the ball and hits Dwight with his back."
"Fantasy footsteps + turn around and small hook, it's a pity that this shot was blocked by Dwight!"
"Qin took the ball and rushed forward quickly, counterattacked and dunked quickly!"
"Manu forced a mid-range jumper and the basketball bounced off the hoop."
"Qin used the cover to go to the basket, and Tim made another heavy dunk!"
"Xiaoka was directly intercepted by Qin and assisted Kobe to score a layup. The Lakers successfully expanded the point difference to [-] points."
End of first half, 67:47
The Los Angeles Lakers ushered in a big explosion in this quarter.
Not only Qin Xiao, but other players performed equally well.
They will enter the intermission with a huge advantage of [-] points.
On the way back to the locker room, the emotions of the players on both sides were obviously different.
"Haha, it's different when Kobe returns. He led the Spurs by [-] points at halftime. I want to see if the Spurs fans are still crazy?"
"Where do they dare to talk? This game is estimated to be over after three quarters."
"I remember Popovich said before that the series has just begun. Now it seems that he started a bit slowly, but ended quickly!"
During the halftime break, the Lakers fans couldn't hold back their inner excitement, and they expressed their opinions wantonly on the forum one by one.
Of course, some Spurs fans stood up and responded, but it was useless.
After 15 minutes, the second half began.
At this moment, the Spurs urgently need to chase points, but sometimes it is counterproductive to be more anxious.
On the court, the sound of iron strikes kept ringing.
Instead of narrowing the point difference, it got bigger and bigger.
Popovich on the sidelines yelled loudly from the beginning, but now he keeps silent and frowns.
He has been in the coaching business for so many years, and he is very familiar with the trend of the game.
Whether a game can be won or not, he can completely predict it.
With today's bad situation, the Lakers have shown that all the people are soldiers, and they want to reverse it unless a miracle happens.
After three quarters, the point difference came to 24 points.
This G4 matchup that everyone is looking forward to has almost become garbage time at this moment.
After the start of the final quarter, the Spurs tried to chase points, but they couldn't make the ball because it felt really cold.
Popovich heaved a long sigh and murmured to himself: 'This season is over...'
When there were more than five minutes left in the game, the difference between the two sides was still [-] points.
Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Popovich no longer resisted. He called a timeout and replaced all the main players.
After a few minutes……
"Beep!"
The final whistle blows and the game ends.
118:99
The Los Angeles Lakers finally won G4 with a huge advantage of [-] points.
After this battle, the Lakers led the San Antonio Spurs 3:1 and successfully won the Western Conference finals point.
Now they are only one step away from the finals!
