NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 188 Young Warrior, You Can Only Stop Here

After the training, Lin Chuan also watched the sixth game between the Warriors and the Spurs as soon as possible.

It has to be said that even Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

When the Warriors were in dire straits, Klay Thompson, who had not yet grown up, was able to transform into Game 6 Thompson in a critical moment and rained three-pointers to death on the terrifyingly stable Spurs.

"Damn, we're not going to play the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, are we? I really can't beat them in a three-point shot."

Lin Chuan scratched his head.

In terms of three-point shooting alone, Lin Chuan and Durant are already at the top level in the league.

But compared with the Splash Brothers Curry and Thompson, they are still slightly inferior.

The three-pointer is the most effective way to score points on the basketball court. Normally, a few three-pointers can quickly widen the gap in points.

Therefore, even if a weak team plays against a strong team, it may be able to defeat the opponent with a wave of three-pointers.

The Thunder lost several of their regular season losses due to their opponents' three-pointers.

Moreover, compared to the Warriors, who may suddenly explode at any time, he prefers to play against the more stable Spurs.

Stability also means less explosiveness, which also means that the game is more certain.

Moreover, the Thunder has Durant, a powerful weapon against the Spurs, so of course it is better to play against the Spurs.

After all, in memory, the Spurs should be able to easily defeat this Spurs team that has not yet grown up.

As a result, he didn't expect that the two teams could play to a seventh game.

but.

For the Thunder team that had 74 wins and 8 losses in the regular season, although they have lost the strong player Westbrook.

But Lin Chuan is also very confident that they are still the strongest team in the league.

No matter whether the team challenging them is the Spurs or the Warriors, he has enough confidence to defeat their opponents.

The difference lies in whether it is hard or not.

after all……

Lin Chuan has a system!

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan also opened his panel and reviewed it.

The current situation is as follows:
[Host: Lin Chuan]

Height: 211cm
Weight: XNUM X kg
Arm span: 226cm
Close range: 99
Mid-range shot: 96
80-Point Shots:
Free throws: 79
Defensive rebounds: 97
Offensive rebounds: 74
Dribbling: 76
Passes: 98
Field vision: 95
Interior defense: 100
Perimeter Defense: 65
Steals: 95
Blocked shots: 100
Speed: 65
Bounce: 75
Power: 94
Stamina: 86
Overall Rating: 97
Seeing that the overall score had reached 97 points, Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction.

If we win the championship this season and get the physical fitness and athletic ability of Antetokounmpo, my overall rating should be 99.

By then, I will have finally reached the pinnacle of my playing ability!

………………

In the blink of an eye, time flies.

During these days.

The other side of the east.

The New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers matchup was already decided.

The Knicks swept their opponents 4:1.

Rising star Paul George's playoff journey this season ends here.

The Eastern Conference semifinals between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat also came to an end.

After a fierce seven-game battle, the Heat finally had the last laugh.

They defeated their long-time rival the Celtics with a big score of 4:3 at their home court, the American Airlines Center.

Among them, in the sixth game, at the critical moment, when the Celtics were leading by 5 points, Rajon Rondo was hit by James when he broke through for a layup. He fell to the ground with his hands, and was pressed down again by James who followed, and was directly injured.

After losing the team's All-Star point guard, the Heat made a last-minute comeback, with James scoring two points with a layup to seal the victory.

At the last moment, the score was tied at 3:3!
Of course, after injuring the opposing player at the TD Garden and leaving the court, James was unsurprisingly doused with drinks by Celtics fans.

Although James explained after the game that he injured Rajon Rondo because he failed to brake in time and expressed his sincere apologies, not even a single Celtics fan expressed belief in his plan.

Well-known basketball commentator Skip also commented that if James hadn't injured Rajon Rondo at the last minute, they would have definitely lost in the second round!
In the seventh game, the Celtics, who lost Rondo, lost enough fighting power in the Heat's home court and were easily defeated by their opponents.

After the game, Garnett's face, which was already dark enough, turned even darker than before. He gritted his teeth and accused the Miami Heat and LeBron James, demanding that the league investigate.

Of course, everyone knew that his accusation was just impotent rage.

How could the NBA investigate and punish James?

The results of the two semi-final matchups in the Eastern Conference have been announced. In the end, the New York Knicks, the first team in the Eastern Conference, will face the Miami Heat!
And at 5:18 p.m. Pacific Time on May 6th.

at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

The seventh game between the Spurs and the Warriors, which is also the final matchup of the Western Conference semifinals, is finally about to begin.

The Warriors, who rained three-pointers on the Spurs at home in the last game, are full of confidence.

Curry chewed the braces in his mouth and stood on the court to adjust his condition.

Thompson, who deservedly made the first contribution in the game, was also extremely confident.

Especially during the warm-up before this game, he still hit the target every time.

This made him more confident that he could continue his form in Game 6 in this game and kill the Spurs with three-pointers.

All the Warriors players are confident that they can beat the Spurs.

Except for head coach Mark Jackson.

Since arriving in San Antonio, he has been worried.

He knows better than anyone how strong the Spurs are.

Especially the Spurs at home.

Looking at the black, gray and white audience seats, he became even more nervous.

After all, in the last game, he thought that was the end of it.

Being able to fight the Spurs for six games has made him satisfied enough with this season.

But he never expected that his players would be so explosive.

Pulled the team back from the edge of the cliff.

The game was dragged into the seventh game.

Only at this point did a glimmer of hope finally rise in his heart.

The hope of defeating the Spurs and advancing to the Western Conference Finals to face off against the Thunder, the strongest team in the league today!
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the higher the expectation, and the more nervous you feel.

But Mark Jackson still pretended to be calm and composed.

He continued to encourage everyone, telling them that as long as they played like in the previous game, they would just have to show their best style and perform normally.

Forget about winning or losing.

But when he saw the players walking onto the field and the referee tossed the ball into the air, he couldn't help but become extremely nervous.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his palms.

"Now that we've come this far, we have to win, kids!"

He was secretly shouting in his heart.

The fans on the sidelines were also cheering loudly for their home team.

They were aiming for the championship this season, so how could they be defeated by the underdog Warriors at home?

Their unified and huge voices almost condensed into substance and pressed towards the Warriors players on the field.

Although they are already prepared.

But at this moment, they were still feeling a little breathless due to this invisible pressure.

anyway.

Nearly 20,000 fans on the sidelines stared at them with wide eyes and booed loudly. The pressure made most of the Warriors players feel nervous.

Thompson, who had just put in an incredible performance in the last game, even felt his hands a little numb.

He couldn't help but clench his hands together to relieve himself.

Curry also put away the braces that were chewing on his mouth, so that he could get into the state quickly.

........................

At this time on the court, the Spurs played steadily.

By the middle of the first quarter, they had already taken a 7-point lead.

It doesn't look like much.

But we have to take into account that the current game has only been played for 6 minutes, while a game lasts for 48 minutes!

Curry struggled to break free from the defense, dribbled smoothly and passed the ball to Klay Thompson.

Thompson remained expressionless and shot a three-pointer.

clang!
The ball hit the basket and bounced far away.

This was his third three-pointer of the game.

It was also his third missed three-point shot in this game.

If you miss a three-point shot, the basketball will fly very far.

Leonard jumped high at the free throw line to grab the basketball, launched a fast break, rushed to the front court and made a stiff dunk.

The whole audience cheered, but Leonard had a cold expression.

"This rookie on our team is so calm."

In the audience, a fan wearing a Duncan jersey said to the fans next to him.

"You haven't watched enough football. This guy is like this, neither sad nor happy, like a robot."

Another Spurs fan talked a lot and it was obvious that he often went to the game.

"Besides, he's a bit like Jordan."

The fan continued, saying that there was some difference between him and the fans who had previously expressed their admiration for Leonard.

"Like Jordan? Do you mean in appearance? I don't think so."

The fan glanced at him sideways and snorted.
"You'll know once you take another look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leonard caught the ball again.

This time he faced the basket with his back to the free throw line.

Behind him is Harrison Barnes defending.

But this time, Leonard did not pass the ball again like before, looking for an open opportunity.

Instead, he leaned back.

This posture made Barnes realize that Leonard was preparing to post up.

Barnes didn't expect Leonard to suddenly change his style of play, but before he had time to think about it, he immediately rushed forward.

"Although I don't know why you use this low success rate fighting method, I will make you realize that your choice is wrong."

Barnes gritted his teeth and pushed hard against Leonard.

Leonard did not respond, but suddenly burst the ball and started to rush backwards.

Although the impact came suddenly, Barnes had already prepared for it and withstood the collision without any pressure, and was only knocked back a little.

Just as Barnes was guarding against Leonard's next back-to-the-basket shot, he suddenly passed the ball and then turned around.

At the same time, Leonard used his legs to lift himself into the air.

Although the body is not stretched enough in the air, it is enough to go backwards.

Barnes' eyes widened, and he took half a step back to prevent Leonard from trying to find space again. Unexpectedly, he directly chose a fadeaway jump shot with a low success rate!
At this distance, he had no way of interfering and could only pray that Leonard's touch was worse.

At the same time, he yelled loudly, replacing his soft defense, trying to interfere with Leonard's shot.

However, for Leonard, a player who was like a robot, he did not react at all at this moment and made the shot steadily.

"Look! I told you! Doesn't he look like Jordan?"

The fan just now pointed at Leonard and shouted excitedly.

"Fuck, it's a bit like that, but the movements are a bit stiff. It seems that our team has picked a treasure."

The fans couldn't help but get excited.

This is not the framed version of Jordan!
On the court, although the fans were cheering for Leonard, he still didn't get too excited. Even after making such a difficult back-to-back jump shot, he still went back to defend honestly.

This scene is exactly the same as the atmosphere of the Spurs.

Barnes felt guilty, and Curry stepped forward and patted him.

"It's okay, just leave it to me."

Barnes turned his head and saw Curry, who was chewing on his braces, smiling and patting him, then caught David Lee's serve and ran to the front court.

Ten seconds later.

After some smooth operations outside the three-point line, Curry suddenly raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

After the goal was undoubtedly scored, the score was once again close.

Afterwards, he once again stole the pass from Parker to Ginobili, moved to the frontcourt and shot another three-pointer.

Two three-pointers narrowed the gap to 3 points, putting the Spurs, who had been in control of the situation, back into a passive position.

The cheers of the fans suddenly became much quieter.

Instead, the slogan was "Defense! Defense!"

The same echo throughout the stadium, the same order.

Popovich immediately called a timeout after these shots and began to adjust his strategy.

On the basketball court, the confrontation between the two teams became tense again.

And on the other side.

Western Oklahoma.

At this time, the Thunder also finished today's training.

But no one left the stadium.

Instead, after a simple wash, everyone gathered together and had a simple meal.

Brooks turned on the TV and sat down with everyone else.

On TV, the G7 game between the Warriors and the Spurs was being broadcast.

They had just finished training and were now sitting back here to watch the game, which would also help them analyze and study their next opponents.

"Look, I didn't expect them to play so stalemate. The Spurs and Warriors may become our opponents in the next round. Brothers, pay attention to the playing style of the players you are facing."

Brooks sat down next to everyone and spoke.

Lin Chuan touched his chin, holding the banana he had just taken a bite of in his other hand, and watched the game on the screen.

Thinking about his opponent.

If it were the Spurs, he would have to face off against Duncan.

Fortunately, it is the elderly Duncan. Although his defensive level is still good, it is still a bit difficult for him to defend against this offensive kaleidoscope.

It's hard to fight.

But I can also fight.

If it's the Warriors.

The corresponding personnel are...

Bogut!
The banana in Lin Chuan's hand was slightly deformed by his sudden force.

An old acquaintance.

At this moment, Brooks suddenly turned around and said to Lin Chuan,

"If we play the Warriors in the next round, remember to tone it down."

Lin Chuan was full of questions.

"convergence?"

Brooks looked at him speechlessly.
"Don't make such a big move. You played against Bogut in the regular season. The league is not stupid. They must know that there must be a reason why such a peaceful person suddenly changed his playing style to such a dark one. The little thing about you and him having a conflict in the Olympics was discovered a long time ago."

Brooks paused and continued,

"If you move too much in the playoffs, you're likely to get a technical foul or a flagrant foul. If you get suspended, it'll be hard for us to play."

Lin Chuan nodded, what Brooks said made sense.

Although on the surface they appear to be the strongest team in history with 74 wins, this is also based on the premise that they have three All-Stars.

And now Westbrook is lying in bed recovering from his injury.

If he is suspended again, the only star player left on the team will be Kevin Durant.

The team's strength will drop sharply to that of an ordinary playoff team.

Lin Chuan remembered that in his previous life, the Thunder team without Westbrook was defeated by the Grizzlies in the second round, even though they were still led by Durant, and were swept home with a score of 0:4.

So he can't just act rashly and put the team into an irretrievable situation.

Moreover, he was counting on the system rewards after winning the championship.

"but……"

At this moment, Durant on the side suddenly interrupted and said,

"I remember James also injured someone on the court a few days ago. Rajon Rondo, who is so small, was pinned down by him and his arm was broken. It was scary to watch."

"Indeed...it looks really painful."

Ibaka also spoke up, and thinking of that scene, he couldn't help but rub his temples.

He watched the game live, and the horrifying scene made him frown whenever he recalled it.

"Besides, the league didn't even investigate after the game and just let it go. So if our Lin Chuan has a grudge against the other side, it's okay for him to secretly take action."

Durant continued speaking, spreading his hands and citing the example of James five days ago to support his last words.

Brooks glared at him and said in a serious tone,
"How can they be the same? Who is he? LeBron James! Even though he is not so favored by the league now, he has been a favored child for many years. Isn't it normal for him to have some privileges?"

"We don't have these privileges, let alone Lin Chuan. As a Chinese, he has not been suppressed by the alliance for such a long time. It's good enough. He still wants privileges?!"

Durant laughed twice and didn't mention the matter again.

Brooks turned his gaze to Lin Chuan again and emphasized earnestly,
"Don't do those things. It's not easy to play in the league, and we have to consider our team. It will be difficult for us to move on if we are suspended."

Lin Chuan quickly nodded and agreed to Brooks.

But Lin Chuan was still secretly thinking about something else.

It doesn't necessarily have to be against the Warriors.

After all, judging from the current situation, the possibility of playing against the Spurs is higher.

at this time.

The previous round was being broadcast on TV.

Leonard made a turnaround fadeaway jumper to extend the lead to nine points.

"With such a big gap, it feels like this game will be difficult for the Warriors to win."

Durant commented:

"If the Spurs take control of the game, it will be very difficult for the opponent."

"Not always."

Lin Chuan refuted Durant, and his firm tone made him look sideways.
"The Warriors are very strong in three-point shooting." Lin Chuan stood up and threw a banana peel.

After more than 30 seconds of back and forth, people in front of the TV could be heard exclaiming in surprise.

Lin Chuan was a little confused about what was happening.

I saw Durant looking at me with a convinced look on his face.

"Awesome, Lin Chuan, you're right. As soon as you left, Curry made two three-pointers and stopped the Spurs."

"Are you a fortune teller?"

"prophet?"

"What nonsense! This is called the Emperor of Football!"

Lin Chuan shrugged.
"You guys are exaggerating. Didn't the Warriors beat the Spurs in the last game in this way?"

"I see."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Lin Chuan certainly knew that the Warriors would use three-pointers to catch up.

But it’s not because of what he said, which was speculated after watching the last game.

It’s because the Warriors team in later generations was a three-point team and everyone could take a three-pointer.

It's not surprising that this can be done.

At this time, on TV, the adjusted Spurs team began to restrict Curry again.

At the same time, Leonard also switched in front of Thompson to prevent him from catching the ball.

Although Thompson had a bad touch in this game, all three three-point shots missed.

But given his god-like performance in the last game, the Spurs still gave him extremely high defensive treatment.

However, the Splash Brothers were restricted and unable to shoot.

But Barnes, who was on the wing, had Ginobili in front of him because Leonard switched to defend Thompson.

After receiving the basketball, Barnes glanced at Ginobili, who was one meter away from him and five centimeters shorter than him, and shot a three-pointer without saying a word.

The basketball went in again, tying the score.

Popovich immediately frowned.

In the last game, the opponent only started to explode in the third quarter.

When we came to their home court, we were in great form in the first quarter.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first quarter. After a few rounds, Ginobili made a layup to end the first quarter.

With the last goal, the Spurs once again took the lead by two points.

The second quarter started again soon.

The few minutes of rest during the intermission just now made the Warriors players' touch cool down a lot.

Barnes' first shot in the second quarter did not continue his previous state and missed.

If the Warriors continue to fail to score, the Spurs will not show any mercy.

They launched their offensive again.

Relying on the Spurs' unique tactical advantages, they launched a 10:0 offensive wave in the middle of the second quarter, instantly widening the score.

"Fuck, they attacked too easily."

On the sidelines, the assistant coach had a bad expression on his face and stared at the situation on the field and said.

Mark Jackson on the side felt helpless.

He was also distressed when looking at the situation on the field.

However, the Spurs' tactics are too difficult to limit, and their individual abilities are not weak, and the Warriors are not good at defense.

"What should we do? We can only go all out on offense, just like in the last game."

At this point, Mark Jackson called a timeout and shared his thoughts with everyone.

Curry also thought it made sense.

Since you can't defend against your opponent, just attack him.

He still doesn't believe that the Spurs can beat them in a head-on attack!

His eyes became determined and he decided to lead by example and boost the morale of his teammates.

But Parker put too many restrictions on him.

Up to now in the game, whenever he dribbled to the frontcourt and stood in front of the three-point line, Parker would follow him like a snake.

He had no space at all to attack.

When choosing pick-and-roll, the Spurs defend very quickly.

How can I do!
Staring at the court, Curry suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a new idea appeared in his mind.

He expressed his thoughts to Mark Jackson.

Hearing that Curry was going to play like this, Mark was shocked and asked hurriedly,

"May I?"

Curry nodded.

"Don't worry, I've practiced this, coach."

"Then it's up to you."

Mark Jackson made the decision and allowed Curry to play the way he did.

The timeout ended and the ten players on both sides returned to the court.

Curry received the ball in the backcourt and slowly moved forward.

At this time, the Spurs were already leading by 12 points, and the home fans continued to put pressure on them.

"You can't beat us with your three-pointers! Parker will lock you down so you can't even shoot!"

"Skinny guy, you are not fit to play basketball, get off the court!"

The taunts from the fans on the sidelines reached Curry's ears.

But after experiencing the comeback in the last game, this simple verbal pressure has prevented him from having too many emotional fluctuations.

After crossing half court, Curry did not continue to move forward, but stopped two steps outside the three-point line.

Seeing Curry stop, Parker inside the three-point line was startled.

So far away, how could it be!
Before he could react, his body and brain had already rushed out in one step.

At such a long distance, there was no time to interfere. Parker could only watch Curry gather the ball with both hands and quickly throw it out.

"Shooting from so far away? Is he crazy?! This is not an All-Star game!"

Seeing this scene, Durant couldn't help but speak out.

You know, this is the crucial moment of Game 7 in the second round of the playoffs.

They even fell behind by double digits.

And the team actually tolerates this point guard's reckless play!
If he missed this shot, Durant couldn't imagine how much of a blow it would have on the team's morale!
But before he could finish his words, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air.

One second later.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the Internet was heard by the Thunder players through the TV, and it choked Durant's remaining words and made them swallow them.

"Fuck, this can even go in!"

On the court, Tony Parker looked back and saw the three-pointer go in. He was immediately in disbelief and couldn't help but curse.

Hearing Curry's chuckle behind him, he turned around in surprise.
"There are 17 seconds left. You're not forced to shoot at the buzzer. Have you practiced this?"

"Who knows."

Parker was suspicious about this shot. He took the ball to the frontcourt, took one step and shot from mid-range, but missed without any controversy.

Curry dribbled the ball forward again.

This time on defense, Parker still retreated to the three-point line, just like in the previous round.

I guessed it... How could I have practiced for such a long distance...

In his heart, Parker still didn't believe that Curry was so confident in his shot just now. He preferred to believe that he was helpless in his own defense and was forced to take a long three-pointer from far away from the three-point line.

Seeing Curry dribbling across half court again, Popovich on the sidelines began to yell at Parker.

"Go and defend! Don't give him any more chances to shoot three-pointers!"

But Parker remained unmoved, gritted his teeth and said,
"I don't believe it, he got in by sheer luck!"

"Damn Parker, he doesn't listen to orders. Where does his stubborn temper come from?"

Seeing that Parker did not step forward to defend, Popovich was so angry that he decided to replace this apprentice who kept giving orders and let him calm down for a while.

"You'd better listen to the advice of your team coach, this year's Western Conference All-Star backup point guard, Mr. Tony Parker."

Curry chuckled and stopped again at a position almost as far away as the previous shot, his heels almost touching the Spurs logo on the floor at midfield, and he stopped again, put the ball together with both hands and shot a three-pointer!
Don't come in, don't come in, don't come in! ! ! !
Parker shouted frantically in his heart, and at the same time turned around and shouted at Duncan,
“Watch out for the rebounds!!!”

Before he could finish his words, the basketball hit the net at a perfect angle.

It made his reminder seem so much more humorous and ridiculous.

"pause!!!"

On the sidelines, Popovich yelled at the technical table.

The score difference on the field was narrowed to 6 points with Curry's two long three-pointers!
"WTF is this range?!"

Seeing these two amazing long-range three-pointers, Durant couldn't help but wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and secretly glanced at Lin Chuan.
"I thought that only Lin Chuan could practice this kind of long three-pointer. I didn't expect that this little point guard could also do it. It's really scary!"

Ibaka and others also echoed Durant, expressing their deepest feelings.

Lin Chuan laughed and patted Durant.
"Don't look down on him. He's a top three-point shooter with a higher hit rate than both of us. It's amazing and unexpected that he can shoot a long three-pointer, but it's also reasonable."

But in fact, Lin Chuan himself was also surprised.

As far as he knows, although Curry was also famous for his three-pointers in the early stage of his career, he was rarely seen taking ultra-long three-pointers. It can even be said that Curry at this time should not use this move as his regular weapon. How come he added this move to his three-point arsenal so early in this life?
........................

On the bench, Mark Jackson also looked at Stephen Curry with an incredible look. He was chewing on his braces and looked very relaxed.

"Curry, when did you practice this? I've never seen you shoot this long three-pointer in a game before."

Facing Mark Jackson's question, Curry smiled slightly.
"It started during the offseason last season. I watched the finals and found that the Thunder's backup center Lin Chuan was good at long-range shooting. It was because of his shooting that he was able to turn the tide and defeat the Miami Heat, which had three superstars. From then on, I realized that being able to learn this trick would definitely be a unique trick that would be useful at critical moments!"

Curry pointed to the floor.
"Like, right now!!!"

Mark Jackson felt relieved and excited to hear Curry's answer.

Unexpectedly, Curry, who is considered the best three-point shooter in the league, not only did not rest on his laurels, but also continued to improve his three-point shooting skills, thus being able to stop the Spurs in an instant just now.

Moreover, he sincerely admired the surprise that Curry brought him.

These two defenders in the team are really full of surprises.

In the last game, Thompson first showed his extraordinary three-point explosiveness, defeating the Spurs in one quarter and winning the game.

Today, Curry also demonstrated his rare long-range three-point shooting skills, and also stopped the Spurs who had previously held the initiative.

With these two guards, the Warriors have a bright future! ! ! ! !

After the timeout, there was no doubt that Curry was under increased defensive intensity from the Spurs. This time they intensified their defense and became even more ferocious. As soon as he passed half court, he would be closely guarded by Green.

The Warriors' offense was silenced again.

At halftime, the Spurs once again established a 10-point lead.

In the second half, Thompson, who had been suppressed for a long time, recovered some of his strength and began to run like a mad dog looking for opportunities.

After Curry was restricted, he got several more chances to shoot.

The cold touch in the first half was restored a lot after the halftime break.

Two of three three-pointers continued to keep the score close.

But Leonard quickly got used to Thompson's rhythm, and after being run away by him several times, he began to catch up skillfully.

Limit Thompson's shooting space.

The Spurs ended the third quarter with a 6-point lead.

It's the fourth quarter.

The battle between the two teams became fierce.

The Spurs' GDP all took to the court, ready to fight until the last minute.

The Warriors also put all their main players on the court, ready for a decisive battle.

On the sidelines, the cheers for the Spurs continued from the start of the game to the fourth quarter.

It lasted for nearly an hour.

These fans are equally enthusiastic and are looking forward to the team winning at home.

The home team lived up to their expectations.

He showed his style in the fourth quarter.

Ginobi made a serpentine breakthrough and scored a layup under the basket.

Tony Parker, who came on the court again later, used his signature spinning top layup to score 2+1.

Afterwards, Duncan, whose hair was turning slightly gray, was not to be outdone. He shot the ball from mid-range and widened the gap to four points with only three minutes left in the game!
Mark Jackson wanted to call a timeout, but was immediately stopped by the assistant coach next to him.

"We only have one timeout left, Coach."

The assistant coach's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Mark Jackson. He immediately restrained his impulse and could only look at the five people on the court with worry.

You're on your own, kids.

He thought so.

On the court, Barnes looked at the timer and chose to shoot quickly.

Curry rushed to the frontcourt immediately after receiving the ball.

Seeing Tony Parker rushing towards him to defend.

Curry came up with an idea and changed his rhythm immediately. He shook off the defender in front of him and unexpectedly came to the basket and made a high rebound.

Back to the Spurs, they played steadily and patiently until the last moment, when Danny Green received the ball in the corner and shot a three-pointer.

While the score difference was reduced to six points, the time was reduced to only two minutes.

Mark Jackson finally couldn't help but call a timeout.

Some adjustments were made.

At the start again, Curry attracted the defense, passed to Thompson, and made a three-pointer to narrow the gap to two points.

One minute left.

The Spurs continued to compress the clock.

At the last moment, Duncan scored under the basket.

There are only 50 seconds left.

The Warriors have no time to waste.

This time David Lee finally redeemed himself. The moment he received the basketball, he jumped up and shot.

A close-range shot went in.

This attack took the Warriors only 3 seconds.

With two shots left, the Spurs began to tighten up and the atmosphere in the stadium became tense.

Ginobili held the ball, consumed the time to 5 seconds, and made a serpentine breakthrough and layup!

But this time, the old man missed the shot!

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson's eyes lit up.

The Warriors' chance to tie the game is just around the corner!

But no one expected that Duncan, who already had a few strands of white hair on his head, suddenly jumped up again and grabbed the rebound among the crowd!

Pass it to the outside again.

Seeing the offensive time become 24 seconds again, Mark Jackson's heart sank.

There are 30 seconds left, and the Spurs still have so much time to attack!

Thompson was about to commit a foul when Curry stopped him.

"Don't foul! Guard them!"

Listening to Curry's voice, Thompson stopped and began to focus on defense.

This time, the ball was passed to Duncan.

With 1 second left, he chose to take a mid-range shot!

However, this time, he was disturbed by David Lee and missed the shot!

Curry immediately grabbed the rebound and rushed to the front court.

There are only 4 seconds left, no time to waste!

After halftime, Curry glanced at the timer and saw only one second left!
There is no time to move forward! We must act now!

The position under his feet is the same distance as the two previous long three-pointers. This is where he scored the winning goal against the Spurs!

Without stopping, Curry chose to shoot directly! ! ! ! !
The basketball flew into the air from his hands.

Under the gaze of everyone, the basketball began to fall from the highest point.

While the ball was still flying towards the basket, the whistle announcing the end of the game sounded.

The atmosphere in the stadium was eerily quiet, and everyone was holding their breath and watching where the basketball would land.

Can he get into the net!!!
Carrying the different expectations of countless people in the court, the basketball finally fell to the ground.

It hit the front frame.

Has it failed?

not at all!
The basketball flew again.

The second chance made many people in the venue feel nervous.

The angle was very vertical, and the next moment, it hit the back frame and fell to the side.

In the end, this long-range buzzer-beater did not go in, but unfortunately missed.

Curry was breathing heavily and looking at the basket with mixed feelings.

The ball didn't go in.

Moreover, when he landed, he felt discomfort in his ankle because he was fully focused on shooting.

Seeing that the ball missed the target, the whole audience cheered loudly at this moment.

It was well worth the money they spent on tickets and drove to the scene to watch the game.

Although the process was full of ups and downs, in the end, they still saw the team defeat the opponent at home and win.

They won Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals at home and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

The fans on the sidelines were cheering excitedly.

Inside the stadium, everyone on the Warriors team fell into complete silence.

They also didn't expect that the game would end like this.
