"You played well in the last game, but the Pacers are a very strong team, so we can't let that take any of that."

"We've won two of them, but there's seven games in the series, so we need to play like we did in the last game in each of the next games!"

"Manu, in today's game, you will start, I need you to show 120 spirits, not only to cooperate with Bruce to suppress Meng on the defensive end, but also to share the pressure for Thiem on the offensive end, forcing the Pacers to relax the bag on Tim, today's game, you will have unlimited right to fire."

"Tony, you played well in the last game, but it's not enough, you're not a role player, you're at the heart of this team and we need to play at a higher level and keep highlight."

On June 16, 2007, before Game 4 of the Finals began, Spurs head coach Popovich was impatiently in the locker room arranging his tactics to every player and asking them for the ball.

Although the Spurs have now won two games in a row to make the score 2-1, and with two consecutive home games, the Spurs seem to have a big advantage, but Popovich knows that it is not time to relax, and they can only breathe a breath if they completely defeat the Pacers.

After winning two games in a row against the Pacers, the Spurs seem to have found a way to defeat the Pacers, but the Spurs are still facing a big problem now, from the first game of the Finals, the Pacers have focused on the Spurs' offensive and defensive core Tim Duncan, especially after the second outburst, Tim Duncan's defense is tight, the third game of the Finals, Tim Duncan is under the continuous encirclement of the Pacers, and even only scored 16 points, and the Spurs' second leader Tony Parker, In the three finals that have ended, the performance is also a little unsatisfactory, Tony Parker, who can average 19 points per game in the regular season, only scored 9 points, 11 points, and 15 points in the first three games, respectively, such a performance is completely sorry for Tony Parker's current position in the Spurs, if it weren't for Manu Ginobili's sudden outburst in the last game, the Spurs would not have any hope of winning at all, so Popovich also hopes that Tony Parker can play harder in the following games, Only if Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili all play to their best will the Spurs have a chance of beating the Pacers and lifting the O'Brien Cup this season.

Today's game, which is the fourth game of the Finals, whether it is for the Pacers or for the Spurs, is a game that cannot be lost, for the Spurs, 3-1 and 2-2 are completely different concepts and results, if the Spurs can win today's game, then the Spurs' road to winning the championship is very bright, on the contrary, once the Spurs lose today's game, then the Spurs are likely to be reversed by the Pacers.

The same is true for the Pacers, once they lose today's game, the Pacers' hopes of winning the championship are very slim, so whether it is the Spurs or the Pacers, today's game is a game that cannot be lost.

Although the Spurs won the last game and are now on the dominant side, there is still a solemn atmosphere in the Spurs' locker room, especially head coach Popovich, whose worried look has been written directly on his face.

As for the Pacers, it's the opposite now, although the pre-game public opinion and the team's current situation are not optimistic, but in the Pacers' locker room, except for a few rookies who are obviously a little cramped, the rest of the players are relaxed, especially James Posey and Jermaine O'Neal, who are still playing there.

"The importance of this game, I don't need to say anything more, we are the strongest team in the whole league, we have only one goal, and that is the championship, and I don't want us to fall at the feet of the Spurs when we are only one step away from the championship." Compared to these players in the dressing room, Rick Carlisle, as the head coach, was not so easy, and when he was about to leave the dressing room after arranging all the tactics, Rick Carlisle gathered all the players present together and once again emphasized the importance of today's game.

In the third game of the Finals, the Spurs' home victory over the Pacers was indeed a very uplifting game, and for all the fans who supported the Spurs, the Spurs' home victory over the Pacers not only gave them hope of the Spurs winning the championship, but also allowed them to overwhelm the fans who supported the Pacers in terms of momentum.

Therefore, when the players of both sides walked out of the player tunnel, the atmosphere at the SBC center was simply crazy, and when the visiting Pacers players began to walk out of the player tunnel, there were deafening boos on the scene, but there were exceptions, when Meng Xu was the last to play on behalf of the Pacers, the boos on the scene were instantly reduced by half. After Meng Xu, when the Spurs players began to play, the scene immediately resounded with crazy cheers and applause, it can be said that before the game started, the Spurs fans on the scene had already entered the state in advance.

"It's a very good home atmosphere, and hopefully Spurs will live up to the enthusiasm of the fans." After the Spurs won two games in a row, Barkley's spirit came up again, and there was a big situation of doing three, who made the four commentators of the finals, he was the only one who supported the Spurs, and after encouraging the Spurs, Barkley seemed to think of something, and then said: "I heard that the Spurs' home stadium will change its name before the start of the new season, so this year's finals are probably the last few games in the SBC center." ”

“TD，TD，TD......“

“MVP，MVP，MVP......“

When Tim Duncan walked out of the tunnel from the end of the Spurs, the cheers came to an abrupt halt and were replaced by a uniform MVP shout and a chorus of shouts representing Tim Duncan's initials, TD.

Looking at Tim Duncan, who walked out of the players' tunnel while opening his arms to the audience, Meng Xu, who had walked to the edge of the bench, also felt strange in his heart, once upon a time, Meng Xu also hoped to be like Duncan, and could enjoy such treatment as an Alamo player, but in the end, creation made people, although every time he returned to San Antonio, Meng Xu could still get a lot of cheers from Spurs fans, and even in the stands of ABC, there were many Spurs fans wearing Meng Xu's No. 5 jersey, But Meng Xu still felt like he was missing something, maybe as Anna said, he could conquer the home court of every NBA team, but he couldn't conquer this court.

"In today's game, the starting lineups of the Pacers and Spurs were adjusted, and it looked like both Gregg Popovich and Rick Carlisle were too happy with their respective teams' performances in the last game."

When the starters of both sides were ready to warm up, they got the list of starters on both sides of the game Michaels, for the Pacers and Spurs in today's adjustment, there are some doubts, as the losing side, the Pacers make tactical and lineup adjustments, it is inevitable to happen, but the Spurs, as the winner of the last game, it stands to reason that there is no need to make adjustments to the team's lineup, only need to maintain the original lineup and tactics, in order to adapt to all changes, but what Michaels didn't expect was that Popovich also made changes to the Spurs' starting lineup.

"The Spurs' change of formation is understandable, through the performance in the last game, we can realize that with Manu Ginobili's ability, playing the sixth man is indeed a bit of a condescension, his ability is enough to become the core of a team, and Popovich in this game, Ginobili should be promoted to the starter, it should be to try to establish a lineup with Manu Ginobili as the core." With the starter lists of both sides, Magic Johnson pondered for a moment, and probably saw Popovich's true intention to change the lineup, in the entire series with the Pacers, the Pacers were firmly wrapping Tim Duncan, and the Spurs' other core Tony Parker's performance has not been ideal, so the best choice at this time is to re-establish a core, or send a spoiler, only by disrupting the Pacers' defensive strategy, it is possible to completely liberate Tim Duncan.

After Magic Johnson finished speaking, Reggie Miller and Barkley nodded almost at the same time, they obviously agreed with Magic Johnson's statement, Tony Parker's performance in the first three games was too poor, Tim Duncan was taken care of by the Pacers, Tony Parker never played as well as he should, if the Spurs were still resting on their laurels at this time, it would be very dangerous, but fortunately, Manu Ginobili broke out in the last game, giving the Spurs another option.
