Chapter 403: The Finals, Finally Waiting for You!
Spurs didn't sweep!
Yes, although Popovich said that he would consider the issue of sweeping after winning the third game, but apparently, this guy is joking with everyone again.
Especially in the fourth game, Popovich was literally diving! He turned the entire Spurs into a diving team in Game 4!
The Thunder team definitely doesn't want to be swept away, and the news in Russia has a headline like "Defending Oklahoma", so for the fourth game, the Thunder side is all dispatched, and even Ibaka, who has a sprained ankle and is not good, is also there in the fourth game!
He mimicked the way the Knicks' Reed played, limping down the tunnel to the center circle before kick-off, where he was ready to jump the ball.
When Ibaka appeared, the whole stadium was boiling, everyone was cheering, and many old fans seemed to see Reed's figure.
It's just that the Thunder are now down 0:3, and they are fighting to avoid being swept away.
It's just that when the people on the Thunder side were preparing for the game with all their might and preparing for a disgrace, the appearance of the Spurs made the Thunder team startled.
This, this is, what the hell is this lineup!
The Spurs' regular starting five all came up to warm up during the warm-up, but the strange thing is that when they started at the end, these five didn't come up at all!
The Spurs' starters are all bench lineups!
Thunder fans were stunned at first, and then they were all angry! They yelled, thinking that the Spurs were looking down on them.
In fact, the Spurs didn't look down on the Thunder in this game, but Popovich felt that it would be better to solve the Thunder in San Antonio in the fifth game, and after solving it, he went home to rest.
Therefore, in the fourth game, the Spurs decided to release the water.
Especially at the beginning, this time Ibaka is going to learn from Reed to stage the return of the king, then this stage is set, let's reluctantly cooperate with you.
So, Popovich made a temporary substitution, removed all the main players, and then replaced a bunch of substitutes.
And on the Thunder side, after Ibaka jumped the ball, he really followed the script and threw the first ball, the people on the Spurs side were very face-saving, Dio didn't defend directly, let Ibaka throw in, it's okay, it's just a mid-range shot, let it be for you.
Sure enough, after the mid-pitch was finished, Ibaka also went down, there was no way, his leg was still lame, and it was useless to come up, and the jump ball just now was on the Spurs' side to give face, and it was just to cooperate with their performance.
Yes, in this game, Spurs are in line with the performance.
The people at the San Antonio Film School are really face-saving, under the leadership of Dean Popovich, these actors are quite powerful, and from the beginning of the opening scene with the Thunder to stage the return of the king, this game is destined to be spurs in the water.
Sure enough, the GDP didn't come up this time, Qin Yan and Leonard just went up for more than ten minutes and shook for a while and then went down, Durant and Westbrook led the team to kill, and the Spurs, the old actors, were still applauding on the bench!
Although the Thunder team is very bitter, there is no way, the Spurs are so releasing water, if the Thunder still don't win, it will be unreasonable.
This game is equivalent to the Spurs!
Finally, in the fourth game, the Thunder won at home again and avoided being swept.
After the game, some reporters protested against Popovich's release of water, but the old man didn't care, and said that most of the main players had a bad stomach yesterday and felt uncomfortable, and it was okay to go up to warm up, but the game was impossible.
The reporters really want to scold their mother, and use a classic line that is, Lao Tzu believes in your evil ......
In the end, the matter was over, the Thunder won the fourth game, the overall score was 3:1 behind, and Russian fans even expected that the team could stage a big reversal in four consecutive games!
That way, you can slap the spurs in the face and let you guys play the fourth water!
However, this kind of plot, in the script of the San Antonio Film School, does not exist.
In Game 5 back in the Holy City, the Spurs didn't give the Thunder any chance. Directly and cleanly solved the Thunder, there is really no way on the Thunder side, Ibaka forced out of the fourth game and went to the hospital for treatment after the opening, and it was useless to fight until he vomited blood.
4:1! The Spurs won very simply, and they didn't give the Thunder a chance at all, and the Thunder's playoffs ended here, and the Spurs were already very face-saving if they weren't swept away, okay!
In this way, it means that the Spurs have successfully eliminated the Western Conference and can rest at home and wait for their opponents.
Yes, the Spurs can rest because the eastern side is not done yet......
2:2!
No one thought that the eastern side would even fight Tianwang Mountain, and it stands to reason that the Heat should have no problem killing the Knicks 4:1!
But now, after four games in the East, it turned out to be 2:2!
The Heat lost to the Knicks in the first game, but they got it back in the second game, and in the third game, at Madison Garden, they won again, leading 2:1!
At that time, everyone thought that they could win Game 4 and then kill the Knicks in Game 5 in Miami.
But who would have thought that in the fourth game, Anthony, who was suppressed by James in the first three games, turned over!
Yes, a big turnover!
Anthony scored 48 points in Game 4 at Madison Garden! The offensive kaleidoscope lives up to its name!
Although James' triple-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists is also very good, Anthony scored crazy in the fourth game!
No matter how versatile you James is, I'll just overpower you in scoring!
Anthony's activity allowed the Knicks to successfully equalize the score, and next, the Knicks are going to play Tianwang Mountain with the Heat.
The whole Spurs team is happily on vacation at their own home, and now there is nothing for them to do, just rest well and wait for the opponent to come out.
Especially the veterans in the Spurs, why Popovich released the water in the fourth game and didn't let the veterans go up, just so that they could have a good rest.
After all, the veterans of the Spurs in the first three games with the Thunder were all desperate, so that there was a later 3:0.
It was precisely with 3:0 that Popovich dared to put on a show and then simply solve the opponent in the fifth.
Yes, the Thunder in the next two games are basically walking in the script of the Spurs, because the fourth game of the Thunder can be seen to be the Spurs releasing water, but I didn't expect that the Spurs would be elite again in the fifth game, plus the Thunder general was injured, so there was really no resistance in the fifth game.
The Spurs were relaxed, but the Heat were still entangled with the Knicks, and when James and others learned that the Spurs had qualified, James was also determined to advance quickly!
After all, many years ago, when James reached the Finals for the first time, it was Duncan and the Spurs who gave them an unforgettable sweep!
Now, the Spurs have advanced to the Finals again, and if this time, James can advance, he has a chance to get revenge!
James has been waiting too long for this day!
Finals, Spurs, it's finally waiting for you!
Next, let's get ready for the wrath of revenge!!
