The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

117-109.

In G3 of the finals, even though the Spurs tried their best, they still scored a desperate score.

Although the difference of 8 points is not big, it is really desperate enough, because the Spurs really took everything they could get.

Duncan made 12 of 7 shots, 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. He kept fighting Zuo Li, David Lee, Anderson and chasing dreams in the interior. Already 37 years old, even a 27-year-old center may not necessarily do better than him.

With 25 points, Parker was the mainstay of the Spurs and led the Spurs in scoring in three games. Facing the defenses of Curry, Nash and Beverley, Parker showed his sophistication.

Ginobili scored 17 points. Perhaps this score does not satisfy all fans, but obviously, this is already the best state Ginobili can produce. After all, Danny Green and Klay Thompson, even Lu Weidu is not easy to get along with.

GDP has reached the extreme, yes, this is the best that three [-]-year-old men can do, after all, they are really no longer young.

Plus, they even offered Bonner a starter!

Moreover, the Red Mamba really used 120% of his efforts. He made 7 of 5 three-pointers and scored a total of 20 points and 2 rebounds.

This is the playoffs of Bonner's career, with the highest score in the finals and the highest efficiency.

If you really want to find something wrong, it may only be the bench and Leonard.

The Spurs' substitutes did not perform well. Mills, Neal and other three-pointers felt cold and failed to bring enough firepower to the Spurs' starting lineup.

The scoring from the bench was completely blown by the Knicks.

And Leonard had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 6 turnovers. Compared with his performance in the previous series, it belongs to heaven.

But he is justifiable. After all, defending Zuo Li is really not an easy task. In 48 minutes, he faced the impact of Zuo Li for 35 minutes. It is not easy for him to take offense under such circumstances. Now, it is indeed a bit difficult to ask him to show his previous performance.

Especially considering that he is only a second-year rookie, it is already very good to have such a play.

After all, not every rookie has the courage to face No.1 in the league on a stage like the finals.

After the game, Barkley also said when interviewing him: "You have sacrificed too much for the Spurs."

However, judging from the current situation, the sacrifice is not enough, far from enough.

When the GDP has come to an end, what else can you do other than squeeze Leonard.

At such a time, the underpants are all pulled out, and it must be a lie to say that there is still preparation. The rest of the game, apart from who is more explosive than the core of the two sides, can only see this pile of X factors.

It is true that the Spurs are very teamy, and it is true that the role players have performed very well before, but at this time, it is definitely impossible and unrealistic for you to put the treasure on the role players.

So after much deliberation, there is only one potential point of Leonard that can be tapped.

After the game, Popovich held a two-hour meeting with GDP and Leonard.

What was said and what decisions were made at the meeting will only be known by G4, but at this time, no matter what the Spurs do, no one cares.

0-3 behind, no team in history has ever been able to complete a comeback.

"The Knicks already have a hand on the O'Brien Cup."

The media after the game had already announced the victory of the Knicks in advance, and the New York media announced to the world with great interest that the second team in history and the first four-peat championship team since ancient times was about to be born.

Zuo Li just scratched his head when he looked at it. He had to say that the New York media still had no rivals in terms of poisonous milk itself.

Of course, the Knicks themselves were a bit indulgent, visiting the visiting team's locker room and almost opened the champagne, and the officials were even ready to take the championship hat and T-shirt to the locker room.

Zuo Li finally persuaded him, and told everyone that it is not 4-0 but 3-0, don't get too excited, it won't be too late to get excited after winning the championship.

But the effect is average.

But I have to admit that Zuo Li himself has relaxed a bit. After all, he holds three match points. This kind of situation is too easy, so normal people will feel a little relaxed.

And I have to say that the Knicks have maintained a very good mentality this season, because the goals Zuo Li keeps setting for them keep these young people motivated at all times.

But even so, at this point, laxity will inevitably occur.

Such emotions are very dangerous, and being too relaxed is a taboo in the game.

This is the Spurs' best and last chance.

The Spurs don't know if the Knicks will relax, but fighting to the death is the only thing the Spurs can do.

So, in G4, the Spurs regained a victory at their home court.

This is a game that does not need to be said. From the first minute of the game, the Spurs took the absolute initiative.

30-17 in the first quarter, the Spurs seem to have regained the feeling of playing the Knicks in the regular season.

Outside role players scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, and Leonard even scored 10 points alone!

Just as the Knicks made the Mavericks lose their temper in the first three games, the Spurs' three-pointers in Game 4 also made the Knicks lose their temper.

Of course, not only the Spurs played well, but the Knicks played poorly is also an important reason.

The huge gap of 54-33 at halftime and 21 points extinguished the fire in the hearts of Knicks fans who were looking forward to sweeping the Spurs to win the championship.

In the third quarter, the Knicks players woke up like a dream, especially the left stand who made 10 of 2 shots in the half, which can be regarded as coming out of sleepwalking.

With 14 points in a single quarter, he led the team to a 33-23 climax in a single quarter, and even made a mid-range shot at the buzzer before the end of the fourth quarter.

However, except for Zuo Li, the sleepwalking of others continued until the end of the fourth quarter.

尽管最后左立打出了21投11中，全场28分12篮板6封盖的数据，可其他人的命中率合计只有31%。

This kind of performance naturally cannot compete with the Spurs who are all soldiers.

104-90, the Spurs made a comeback.

Of course, just one loss did not affect the outside world's views on this round of the series.

Because most people had predicted that the Spurs might return a game in G4. Now that it has happened, it is not surprising.

The Knicks themselves can accept it. When they left the court, most people looked at the O'Brien Cup on the sidelines, thinking that they would get it next time.

But the Knicks underestimated the Spurs' resilience.

In G5, although the Knicks thought they had made sufficient preparations, and their shooting percentage, concentration, and state had all improved, they still failed to win the game.

This game can be described as fierce. Everyone in the Spurs seems to be playing with the determination of the last game.

Can you imagine the 37-year-old Duncan playing the full 48 minutes?

102-99, Leonard's breakthrough quasi-lore at the last moment put the Knicks' dream of winning the trophy on hold again!

3-2, everything seems to be completely different!
