And long lasting!

This is officially certified by Sharapova.

So should we defend Wayne or the cut?

This time, Carlisle pushed the option of sending a proposition to Popovich.

Old thief, it's your turn to die!

The next day, Carlisle and Wayne were blown away.

Everyone was praising Carlisle's coping ability and also praising Wayne's tactical role at critical moments.

If you change the Pacers to the fourth position, Carlisle's tactics may really not work.

And with data like 16+13, it’s not bad to be honest, but it’s just a bit different.

However, this is exactly the embodiment of Wayne's ability.

I can do whatever you want me to do.

I can score 18 points in a single quarter. I can also score 13 assists and 2 turnovers in the game.

Even if there is a fight, he can throw out 10 punches and 5 elbows in an instant.

The Almighty is here.

If Nelson were to coach the Pacers, he would let Wayne play the one position and Artest play the center...

At this time, no one knew who would have the last laugh, the Spurs or the Pacers.

The Pacers have proven that they have the ability to contain the league's top power forward, and in addition to Duncan, the Spurs also have two X-factors, Ginobili and Parker.

In addition, Carlisle and Popovich are both true masters of tactics, so the trend of the series is really unclear.

The ensuing fight between the two sides also confirmed people's suspicions.

The Spurs and Pacers really gave the fans a very high-level finals!

In the third game of the series, Popovich made his choice.

Sure enough, he let Duncan return to the basket and let Mohammed mark Wayne.

I would rather let Wayne score alone than let the Pacers perform more brilliantly.

Wayne also lived up to Popovich and tortured Muhammad to death.

Duncan was still double-teamed by N people, and his scoring was still suppressed.

But today, the Spurs shot well from beyond the three-point line. Even Parker, who is not very good at long-range shooting, shot 3-of-4 from three-point range.

The two sides were in a stalemate until the fourth quarter, when the Extremis Demon Sword was unsheathed again.

This time, the demon sword even made the always good-tempered Carlisle so angry that he ate a T.

If you want to say that Ginobili used all kinds of unreasonable shots and breakthrough goals like in the first game, there's not much to say.

But Ginobili got 10 free throw opportunities in the fourth quarter alone!

In the previous three quarters, Manuga only took 3 free throws.

Carlisle was really dumbfounded.

Damn it, just let it rain for 1 minute!

Just force Wade mode on!

But one thing is for sure, Ginobili himself does have something.

Mainly because Manu mainly scored jump shots in the first three quarters, saving some energy.

So it all came out in the fourth quarter.

With the Pacers shrinking so hard, there must be a lot of fouls.

Wayne scored 28 points today on Muhammad, but he still couldn't withstand Ginobili's 1-point rain and Horry's three-pointer in the fourth quarter.

99 to 94, the Spurs narrowly won!

At this point, both the Pacers and Spurs have changed their original strategies.

Although some fans have begun to complain that this round of the series was not exciting enough, it was either a foul or a simple jump shot, which was not good-looking at all.

We want to see Iverson's breakthrough that breaks someone's ankle, Kobe's singles shot regardless of whether he goes in or not! We want to see Wei War God beat up Bowen and Popovich!

What’s the result? I have to defend, shoot free throws, and shoot every day. Isn’t it annoying?

But in the eyes of some fans, this round of finals is the finals that most vividly embodies modern basketball tactics and team basketball since the 21st century.

After all, most fans just want to watch the excitement, and only a handful of people like and are willing to watch boring things like the players' tactical execution, the strategies of the coaches on both sides, and defense.

But whether you like it or not, this round of finals will continue like this.

The two teams are here to win the championship, not to please the fans.

There are no new changes for G4, Carlisle and Popovich.

To put it bluntly, the game has entered a stage where the outcome is determined purely by the strength of the players.

Today, Duncan encountered perhaps the biggest overturn in his career in the finals.

Under the Pacers' continuous double-teaming, Duncan made only 5 of 17 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 29.4%!

Duncan had to hit many shots today because the outside line was so inaccurate.

Except for Parker, several other people were really stubborn and wanted to die.

Manu shot 1 of 5 from beyond the arc, Horry made 2 of 6, Barry Sr. made 2 of 8...

The Spurs only scored 26 goals in open play today, but they took 70 shots and the shooting rate was only an appalling 37.1%.

If the Spurs can beat the Pacers with a shooting percentage of 37.1%, it would be a real miracle.

When his teammates were not accurate, Duncan bravely shouldered his responsibility as the leader.

It's just that despite being brave, he can't score a goal...

Before the finals started, Duncan would never have imagined that he would end up like this in this year's finals.

After all, in the previous three rounds, Duncan was still in an unbeatable state.

Playing against the Nuggets in the first round, Duncan averaged 22 points and 11.2 rebounds per game and shot 46.8% from the field.

Playing against the SuperSonics in the second round, Duncan averaged 25.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game and shot 45.9% from the field.

Playing against the Suns in the third round, Duncan's statistics increased again, averaging 27.4 points and 13.8 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.7%!

It can be said that Duncan entered the finals in excellent condition.

And now... 16 points on 5-of-17 shooting, this is simply...

It can only be said that the Spurs have never encountered such a strong and determined defense in the Western Conference.

I have never encountered a team with such perseverance.

The one who stood in stark contrast to Duncan today was Wayne. He scored a game-high 35 points, beating Muhammad to nothing.

During the game, Popovich asked Bowen to help Muhammad defend Wayne.

The result was that Bowen took a million elbows from Wayne, and Artest took several mid-range shots.

Today, Wayne would like to call Artest the vice captain!

His shooting percentage when he gets open opportunities is indeed quite stable.

Therefore, Bowen later did not dare to double-team.

Firstly, I was afraid of Artest's shooting today, and secondly...the elbow hit me in the face, which was really painful!

Whoever tries knows!

So in the fourth game, the Spurs were slaughtered again.

92 to 71.

With a 21-point difference, the Spurs hit a new high!

"This is simply...unbelievable. The Pacers' phenomenal defense made the Spurs completely lost! And Wayne, he scored 35 points today!

For two consecutive games, Wayne's scoring performance has been quite outstanding.

Can we say...Coach Popovich didn't find a way to limit Wayne at all?"

Mike Breen hit the nail on the head, you can either drag Duncan out for a walk, or you can only be tortured by Wayne until he becomes autistic.

When it comes to food abuse, Wayne is a professional.

From Weber's abuse to Haslem, I have some experience.

The current situation is that Duncan is basically gone.

That’s right, no more!

This is the result of the Pacers using almost all the team's defensive resources.
To be continued...
