Steve Kerr's three-point shooting percentage in this year's playoffs is already a new low in his career, but he can throw the damn three-pointer into the basket when he needs it the most!

And this is exactly why the San Antonio Spurs spent a lot of money to dig Kerr from the Chicago Bulls.

In this era when no one shoots three-pointers, Kerr turned a six-pointer that took three rounds to recover into a three-pointer in the blink of an eye, and then made another three-pointer, and the score was completely back!

But the Spurs are not happy at this time, because the ball is in the hands of the Celtics, and there are more than 40 seconds left. If this round fails, the San Antonio Spurs will have enough time to turn the game around, but if the Celtics score, the Spurs will be buried above the neck in the dirt of this game!

"So," Popovich stared at the Celtics players on the court with a sharp gaze: "Will the Celtics give the ball to Tracy McGrady, the freshman who is in hot form today, or to Han Yi, who is working hard on defense in this game but is also not to be ignored on offense?"

Popovich was unsure, but he was unwilling to gamble, so he chose to let the forwards cooperate with Duncan to defend Han Yi's receiving the ball in the interior, and when Han Yi had difficulty receiving the ball, let all other forces deploy around McGrady, and double-team him as soon as McGrady got the ball.

After Han Yi got the ball, there was not much the Spurs could do, and after McGrady got the ball, as long as he was double-teamed, McGrady would have a high probability of losing the ball. The Spurs could still calculate this clearly.

So, when the game resumed, Han Yi was immediately trapped by the front and back. Although he had a superhuman movement speed, the Spurs hugged him tightly before he moved!

Under such double-teaming, fouls such as pulling jerseys and hugging arms are inevitable, but the referee will definitely not blow the whistle at this time, leaving everything to the players.

On the outside, McGrady easily found an open offensive opportunity. The Spurs took the initiative to use defensive layout to induce the Celtics to give the ball to McGrady.

But Joe Dumars is not so easy to be fooled. Facing Avery Johnson, who was defending him alone, Joe Dumars used his body advantage to press the little general who was absolutely inferior to him to the free throw line. Seeing that there was still no double-teaming, he did not give up and made a small floater!

Goal!

90:95!

There were only 30 seconds left!

Another key shot. This time, the Spurs were scared. Although Steve Kerr ran out of an open opportunity again, Popovich did not dare to give such a key shot to an unreliable three-pointer. Instead, he wanted to move Han Yi away from Duncan through pick-and-roll defense!

But sorry, Han Yi had already hugged Duncan tightly, and no one could separate them. The air was gradually filled with the atmosphere of hand-to-hand combat.

29 seconds! 28 seconds! 27 seconds! 26 seconds! 25 seconds!

Still didn't find an opportunity, but Duncan couldn't wait any longer. He took a step forward, took the ball near the free throw line, and hit Han Yi's chest fiercely with his elbow, and then used his body as a barrier!

He opened his right hand and drew a circle, a big hook!

Bang the ball into the basket!

Got it in!

92:95!

There were only 21 seconds left!

The 46th point was scored!

Duncan had done everything he could and couldn't do!

But it was still not enough. There was only one round left in the game. The ball was in the hands of the Celtics. What the Spurs could do was to try to press the ball and then send the Celtics to the free throw line.

If it was the Celtics who were all rookies last season, then the Celtics might have made mistakes in this link, but now it is different!

Rick Pidino replaced Stephen Jackson, who was easily overwhelmed, with Dell Curry, who was more experienced.

With two veterans in the lineup, they easily solved the world's difficult problem of serving the ball, forcing the Spurs to foul!

Dell Curry, who had a free throw rate of 88%, went to the free throw line and made both free throws!

92:97!

There were 18 seconds left!

When Rick Pidino judged that the Spurs would definitely shoot a three-pointer, the Spurs actually wanted to steal another two-pointer!

The ball was directly sent to Duncan's hands. Duncan didn't stick to the ball and threw it directly like the last one!

But Han Yi, who had just moved outward, had already returned to defense at this moment. Facing this exposed basketball, Thunder slapped it out of bounds!

Facing the wide-eyed, unbelievableDuncan, Han Yi smiled slightly:

"Hey, hey, it's not a man's thing to pursue a meaningless two-pointer instead of a three-pointer when you're 5 points behind!"

This time, the Spurs only have 13 seconds left, and it's too late to continue to try to get a two-pointer. Three-pointers, now only three-pointers can save the Spurs!

But when there is only one option, the Spurs are like a clear card for the Celtics. The Celtics will not defend the inside line at all, and all of them will rush out.

The Spurs' outside three-point shooter fell in a circle, and didn't pull out a single open position. In the end, he could only give Han Yi a big cap in vain, which made Han Yi achieve the feat of double-digit blocks in his first appearance in the finals!

The finals score was 1:0!

The Celtics successfully defended their home court!

29 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 10 blocks!

Just a little bit, just a little bit of assist, Han Yi unlocked the first quadruple-double feat in the history of the NBA Finals!
