Chapter 407: Reversing the drama?

2-2, in the playoffs, this is definitely a very subtle score. Although it is just a draw, whoever can get the third game point will have a huge advantage in the playoffs.

Psychologically, the teams that have won the match point will be more excited and the winnings will be stronger. From the actual considerations, if the Spurs lose the match point battle, then in the next game, the game will return to Portland and return to the Rose Garden where the Spurs fell twice in a row. Playing a game where they win and continue to lose and go home is definitely not a good choice.

Losing this game may not be the end of the Spurs, but it will undoubtedly have a very big impact on their subsequent playoff journey.

**Vic naturally understood the interests of this game. The victory or defeat of this game will be the turning point of the entire playoffs and will be the key to determining the victory or defeat of the series. How Ginobili plays today, so let Ginobili swing it away by himself.

Too many rules and regulations will limit the swing of players like Ginobili. Giving him a certain degree of freedom may be a good choice.

"Manu, you should take a break at the beginning of the fourth quarter." **Vicci thought for a long time, and finally spoke, but did not talk about tactical matters.

"But after that, you have to hit the Trail Blazers hard! Tim, reduce the number of times you share the ball. If Aldridge is the guy who is guarding you, you will give me an offense without hesitation! We are already desperate! Now, someone must play to support the game. I really want to do this myself, but I am still wearing a jersey at my age, and that guy David Stern will not agree." **Vicci's eyes swept over Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, these three old ghosts, rarely disappointed at critical moments.

Indeed, the Spurs are not just GDP, but also many other excellent players. Moreover, the elderly three-horse team can not play well in every game.

But at the most difficult moment of the team, one of the GDP will definitely stand up! This is why this elderly combination is still competitive. When Anjie first entered the league, the league was entering an era of new and old replacement.

Countless veterans who were once glorious could only play for a basic salary, and countless young "children" became the masters of this league. But during the transition from new to old, only the combination of GDP survived.

This great combination once fell to a low two years ago, but now they have another chance to make it to the Western Conference Finals stage.

Even if the young Trail Blazers from players to coaches are in front of them, the Spurs must chew them down!

So when Angel played for the first time in the fourth quarter, Split's defense impressed him! This Brazilian may not have witnessed the former glory of the Spurs, but when everyone in the team, especially those three old guys, was full of fighting spirit, as a role player, he definitely didn't want to drag the team down.

This time, Split's defense was very tough, so tough that even Anjie felt a little difficult. Now is the critical moment, and Anjie is unwilling to shoot the ball without knowing it. Seeing that Split was still unfamiliar with him and the attack time was already half over, Anjie still chose to pass the ball.

Pass it to Aldridge? No, Duncan's old slipper was waiting for An Jie to do so. In desperation, An Jie had to hit the ball back to the outside line.

With several offensive moves, Wesley Matthews made a hasty move before the attack time ended. The ball's flying arc looked very intimidating, but the ending was unstoppable. The basketball thrown by Matthews hit the frame, and Anjie rushed to snatch it desperately, completing the tip-in through Split.

However, as soon as the basketball entered the frame, the referee's whistle rang. The rebounding foul and Anjie's excessive pushing action was finally unbearable.

An Jie didn't complain this time. He knew very well that he had committed a foul on this ball. There was no way. The game had entered the fierce stage of fighting for every ball. If the referee missed the referee, the Trail Blazers would get two points. In order to score, An Jie had to bet.

"The Spurs' defense was very successful. They made the Trail Blazers take 24 seconds to take action. The Spurs were able to fight against the Trail Blazers at the aTT center and always reverse the situation in the fourth quarter. Today we will see if the Spurs can replicate their previous successful experience."

Just as Kenny Smith spoke, Tony Parker's stumbled through the breakthrough finally caused Aldridge's foul.

Parker's performance today was very bad, and his shooting percentage was even more terrible. He tried to enter the inside and caused fouls many times, but the referee did not pay attention to it. Therefore, Parker shot many incredible shots today, which is the main reason for his poor shooting percentage today.

However, this time, Parker's plan finally succeeded. Aldridge raised his hands and looked at the referee with an innocent look on his face, but the fact that Parker got two free throws could no longer be changed.

After Parker scored a free throw, **Vic immediately replaced Leonard with Stephen Jackson, who was so excited, and only scored 4 points so far. In this way, **Vic is obviously going to strengthen its offensive firepower, even if it sacrifices some defense, it will be unwilling to do so!

Parker made two free throws, but Anger and Aldridge completed a delicate cooperation in the penalty area again, bringing the score difference back to its original state.

"Damn!" Duncan picked up the basketball on the ground and smashed it hard on the ground again. The Spurs' inside line was riddled with holes by Angel and Aldridge. Duncan's "abnormal" behavior naturally attracted the attention of the fans and all the reporters on the scene. What did Duncan just do? He was actually venting emotions! This guy who was as cold as a stone was actually venting his unhappy emotions just now!

He was chased and beaten by two young men, even though Duncan was a guy who rarely wrote his emotions on his face, he couldn't bear it at this moment!

"If Aldridge is guarding you, you will give me an attack without hesitation!" **Vicci's words suddenly echoed in Duncan's mind. He could not bear to continue to be treated like this as an "old thing". He wanted to prove that this era still has his place!

Duncan made a heavy baseline ball, and Parker smiled slightly. When was the last time Duncan used this strength to baseline ball? At least five or six years ago.

He knew that this big man wearing the No. 21 jersey was a little angry.

Parker saw that the Trail Blazers' defense was fine and there was no hope of breaking through. So he ran the ball according to the tactics and gave the ball to Ginobili at the 45° angle.

Ginobili is not as cautious as Tony Parker. He broke through directly after receiving the ball and forced out of Wesley Matthews' defense.

Because it was a forced breakthrough, Ginobili's dribbling during the breakthrough process was a bumpy and almost lost. However, in the end, even though the process was very thrilling, Ginobili still regained control of the ball.

As soon as he controlled the ball, Duncan raised his hand to Duncan.

Aldridge immediately walked around and tried his best to cross his arm in front of Duncan. However, just as the basketball was about to be passed, Ginobili suddenly shook his wrist and changed the direction of his passing.

With a bold pass, the basketball passed over Gerald Wallace's head and flew out of the three-point line again. There, Stephen Jackson, who had long been seriously dissatisfied with the Trail Blazers, was unmarked!

Raise your hand, shoot, three-pointer, hit! Stephen Jackson may have always been the object of ridicule from the outside world, and this arrogant guy always plays with it. But to be fair, his attack power is definitely not allowed to Xiao Xu!

Ginobili's incredible assist officially sounded the horn for the Spurs to counterattack.

Afterwards, under the influence of the offense just now, the Spurs were very strong. They were determined to chew the Trail Blazers at home, no matter how unfavorable the situation was for them.

So, after Ginobili assisted Duncan, Duncan leaned on Aldridge and forced a dunk. Tony Parker threw himself into the air again and again, allowing his body to be injured, but only in exchange for two free throw opportunities to break through. Of course, if the Spurs wanted to start, how could they lose Ginobili's unreasonable goal?

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Ricard replaced Angel and Aldridge with Camby and Thomas in order to be on the safe side. In this way, the counterattack momentum of GDP could not be suppressed.

On the offensive end, the Trail Blazers can only rely on Crawford and Contney Lee to support it. On the defensive end, Duncan regained his strength in the interior and his offensive efficiency was astonishingly high.

89 to 95, when Angel and Aldridge played again, the GDP had already widened the gap to 6 points. It seems that the Spurs will complete the fourth quarter reversal in the aTT center again!

"This is simply the Spurs' usual script. It's a good example of the fourth quarter. It's backward at the beginning, and the middle is against it, and the final victory is victory. The three of them in the GDP wrote such a story, which is simply easy to get along with."

With four minutes left in the fourth quarter, when Anger and Aldridge appeared again, **Vic also replaced the three old carriages that had just gone down to rest.

The aTT center suddenly became crowded with people, and the fans knew that the decisive battle had arrived!

"La Marcus." After playing, Anjie looked around with his waist on his waist. The game had reached this point and there was no reason to give up. Although he was very tired now and the game situation was very bad, Anjie was unwilling to be buried in the aTT center again.

"What's wrong?" Aldridge glanced at Anjie curiously.

"Join to win the victory!" Anjie didn't say too much. He knew that Aldridge could understand what he meant.

"I've had this plan for a long time." Aldridge showed his neat and white teeth and went to the baseline. Raymond Filton shouted out the tactical code name again. Anjie ran forward with Xun. The three old carriages of the Spurs had already set up their defensive posture and stood in front of them.

"Peng!" Split was still secretly proud of his tough defense at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but he didn't know that this time An Jie had physical contact with him again, and the situation was completely different.

Split was still very tough, but Angel was not willing to be outdone. After several collisions, Split's ribs were hit and hurt. He felt that as long as he was hit, his bones would break.

However, An Jie really continued to come for a while. Isn’t An Jie hurting? They are all made of flesh. Under such a strong impact, An Jie is of course very uncomfortable! But in order to seize the advantageous position, An Jie has no choice!

"Raymond Filton passed the ball to Wesley Matthews, Matthews threatened with the ball with three threats, and he was observing the situation on the field!"

Ginobili stood calmly in front of Matthews. He would not look down on others just because Matthews was a undraft. Ginobili, who was selected in the 57th pick at the time, was not much better than a undraft.

His calmness comes from his confidence in his ability. If you defend a guy like Matthews, as long as you seal his shooting space as much as possible, you will be half successful!

However, this time, Matthews did not shoot, but directly flashed to the left, intending to break through!

"I want to get over so easily?" Ginobili couldn't believe that Matthews made such a choice, and he had no chance to break through himself!

Just when Ginobili took a confident step and was about to block Matthews's breakthrough route, he seemed to have knocked down something, making it difficult for him to move forward!

"An secretly and timely pick-and-roll! The Argentine didn't realize that An had quietly come to him! Oh my God, the timing of the pick-and-roll is so accurate!" Kenny Smith made a marvelous voice. O'Neal didn't say anything, but he also applauded Anger's pick-and-roll in his heart. Although the pick-and-roll is just an auxiliary job, if you want to do it well, the technical content is not low.

After borrowing the pick-and-roll, Matthews was empty in front of him. Duncan had to make a decision in the flash, and he decided to protect the basket first!

So Matthews "naturally" sent the basketball to Aldridge. Duncan had long expected that he could not really throw Aldridge away from it.

He moved one step quickly and once again stood in front of Aldridge. Aldridge still raised the ball without hesitation, but he did not do it for the shot, but for the pass!

After the pick-and-roll, Anjie cuts inward directly. Split may have a sloppy defense, but he cuts inward when the defense is inward. This guy can't stop Anjie at all!

Duncan raised his hand and was about to block Aldridge's vision. Unexpectedly, Aldridge's "shooting" didn't even jump, so he took action!

The next second, a gust of wind blew across Duncan's back, causing the 21 behind him to float.

"Bang!" After that, the tragic screams of the basket resounded throughout the audience. Duncan turned his head and Anjie was hanging on the basket, but he could only pick up the ball from the ground again.

The aTT center that had just become active was instantly depressed by An Jie. Even the Spurs fans who had seen countless gorgeous cooperation were all amazed at the exquisite cooperation of the Trail Blazers.

Angel let go, landed, and the basket was still shaking. He retreated while whistling to the sky, Aldridge rushed over and hugged Anger's shoulder. The two dangerous insiders of the Trail Blazers gave serious warnings to the Spurs!

Later, when Duncan received the ball again, he found that the person who defended himself was no longer Aldridge, but Anjie, who had just completed the dunk!

Duncan, who had not had enough rest, tried his best to push in a few steps, but Anjie's defensive position was not shaken. Duncan himself did not know, but he was already very weak compared to before.

With a forced turn-over jump shot, An Jie stretched out his long arm but failed to complete the block. However, under such serious interference, even Duncan could not score the ball.

The basketball hit the box and Gerald Wallace rushed to the rebound. The Trail Blazers' counterattack again, God knows what the huge Trail Blazers' oo will do.

"Ann's wide-range transfer is very beautiful, Raymond Felton takes a three-pointer! Oh my God, the referee blew Tony and Parker fouls, and the Trail Blazers got three free throws!"

"Gerard Wallace forced a dunk! Oh! This is simply Wallace in the Bobcats era!"

"Wesley Matthews made the second three-pointer in a row, crazy, and the Trail Blazers were completely crazy under the leadership of Ann and Aldridge!"

In the last four minutes, the Spurs didn't know what they had experienced. They were just running and jumping, but they couldn't stop the Trail Blazers' offense and could not penetrate the Trail Blazers' defense.

Except for Ginobili, he is still scoring with his own methods and attacking with his own methods. Anjie is helpless about this, but he can make up for it with better methods.

In the end, Duncan had to intercept the ball while defending Aldridge. This rough interception could only allow Duncan to carry two fouls. He could not do this, but now he has to do this.

Because the game time is only 3.3 seconds left, but the Spurs are three points behind!
Chapter completed!
