v4 Chapter 1137： Closing Ceremony

This change came suddenly, there was no wind before the game.

But this change is also reasonable.

In the first three games, Popovich's starting lineup did not last for five minutes.

Although this has something to do with the difference in strength between the two sides, the result of this lineup will not be much different.

Especially with so many out-of-field factors mixed in the previous game, the results could not be changed.

So change is a perfectly normal decision.

Of course, besides this reason, there is another one.

Ginobili's playing time this season has decreased a lot, and he has more than once in the media the idea of ​​retreating.

Even friends like Tang Tian and Duncan know that this is likely to be Ginobili's last playoffs.

Popovich naturally knew that.

Although Parker's situation is different, he is in a doldrums and his contract has expired.

Therefore, Popovich's formation of troops is not only strategic, but also emotional.

This is likely to be the closing battle of Parker and Ginobili's Spurs.

However, such a lineup is very useful from the scene atmosphere.

Since Duncan retired, Parker and Ginobili have rarely started together, and both have made fewer starters this season.

This starting lineup is a great encouragement to them psychologically, and even shakes their souls because of the glory of the past.

In fact, it is not just the fans, the Spurs players look different from the past three games.

For them, the Spurs' culture is deeply entrenched, and it is Popovich and GDP who have created that culture.

Tang Tian, ​​as a veteran Spurs, also felt it.

He has a hunch that tonight's game will be different from the last three games.

In the cheers of the fans, Gasol returned the ball to the Spurs halftime, officially opening the curtain of the fourth game of the series.

Parker dribbled to the frontcourt and reached for a hammer tactic.

However, this is a new hammer tactic, different from the 1/2/3 tactics that Tang Tian has experienced before.

The biggest difference is that the person holding the ball broke from the 3 position to the 2 position.

Green used a pick-and-roll for a continuous three-pointer on the weak side to affect the defense, and Ginobili made a right-hand breakthrough into the basket.

However, the Pelicans are very defensive. Even the newly evolved hammer tactics, the Spurs did not get a chance.

Seeing that the tactics were about to fail, Ginobili chose to lay up against Butler.

Butler blocked Ginobili's head-to-head phone conference.

However, Ginobili tilted his waist into a horizontal swing of 60 °. He created a mobile phone club for himself and then threw the ball.

The iconic snake-shaped breakthrough of the demon sword.

"boom!"

After the ball hit the board, it was slanted into the net bag.

Ginobili leads the Spurs!

Tang Tian turned around and broke through and flung Green, and then stopped and pulled out to hit the color.

He felt the Spurs were different tonight and fired as soon as he came up.

Parker advanced to the frontcourt, the Spurs' hammer tactics could not be beaten.

Parker dribbled to the basket without a chance, and circled around to give the ball to Aldridge.

Aldridge's iconic turnaround jumper didn't.

You can see that he didn't feel good tonight.

However, Gasol struggled to grab the offensive rebound and then dumped it to outside Ginobili.

Ginobili received the ball, Butler's defense was fast.

He leaned on Butler, and after two hauls, he chose the iconic backward three-pointer.

Butler responded quickly and threw himself in to interfere.

"Oh!"

Butler was beautiful on this ball, but Ginobili shot more beautifully.

Basketball hollowed into the net, directly lit the atmosphere of the ATT stadium.

The cheers and whistles of the fans were overwhelming and cascading.

Ginobili scored 5 points in a row after the opening!

This scene really felt like they were back at the beginning of the century.

At that time, Ginobili was not called the Demon Sword, and had a very loud nickname: 20 minutes Jordan.

Although Ginobili is 40 years old this year, he started to behave like he was 10 years younger!

The Spurs were encouraged, and they opened the game with a completely different momentum from the past three games.

Five minutes into the game, the score was 13 draws.

Although they still can't defend the Pelicans, they have various fairy **** on the offensive end.

Offensive to offensive, they completely made Popovich's tactical intentions.

For the first time since the series, they survived the first five minutes.

This is the spiritual and cultural power of the Spurs, and even God is on their side.

But the Pelicans' hard power is not blown.

At the moment of stalemate, they came up with the best lineup defensive strength.

Butler steals Parker and Tang Tian steals Green.

With two steals and two defensive opportunities, the Pelicans played a 5-0 attack.

In addition, the Spurs' offensive wave was destroyed by the Pelicans in 21 seconds, and the offensive wave basically failed.

The Pelicans have a tendency to take the game away.

Popovich reached for a timeout.

This offense is critical, and it can even be said that it may directly determine whether the Spurs can survive this quarter.

Pause back, Parker served from the perimeter, Green and Ginobili ran around the pick-and-roll to catch the ball.

In 3 seconds, basically just had time to catch the ball and throw it.

Parker passed the ball to Ginobili.

Butler completely blocked the shot angle.

The Spurs' tactics did not work.

Just when the tactics seemed to fail this time, Ginobili was an incredible non-seeker straight ball.

The ball went directly to Aldridge's hands, who did not know when Mimi had moved to the basket.

A whistle hit the board at close range and the ball wiped the board into the frame.

Aldridge's finish is beautiful, but Ginobili's pass is even more beautiful.

The Pelicans cooperated in the frontcourt, but Butler missed the three-pointer and missed.

Looking back, Ginobili kicked off the defense with a three-pointer, and hit the basket to throw Dedmon's fly.

The choice of this ball is very firm, and there is physical contact between the two sides in the air.

The referee whistle sounded for Demon's defensive foul.

Ginobili lay almost in the air to complete his shot.

The ball is flying and falling into the bag ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This is a 2 + 1!

The cheers at the scene exploded again.

When the team watched a wave, Ginobili stood out.

One pass and one 2 + 1. Although the demon sword is old, it is still sharp!

Ginobili fell heavily and was pulled up by Parker and Green.

I have to say that his waist care is really good. The snake-shaped breakthrough in front plus this 2 + 1 has amazing waist strength.

Steady penalty shot.

While helping the Spurs to tie the score, he also scored his 10th point in the game.

The demon sword ended, style still.
