Reborn in 96, I started by taking charge of the Dallas Mavericks.

Chapter 317 Sweeping the Spurs, advancing to the Finals for the third consecutive year!

"McGrady hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer before the game ended, sealing the victory for the Spurs!"

"Congratulations to the Dallas Kirin for winning 116-113 on the road, taking a 3-0 lead in the series!"

"The Spurs did their best in this game, they held on until the very last moment, but Lady Luck didn't seem to be on their side in San Antonio."

"Down 0-3 in the series, they are on the brink of elimination. There is no turning back for them. In Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, they can only win. If they win, they will still have a chance. If they lose, they will go home for good."

"However, there has never been a precedent in NBA history of coming back from a 0-3 deficit to win, so we can congratulate the Qilin team on advancing to the Finals for the third consecutive year!"

After the game, Mike Breen shouted excitedly.

He is witnessing the birth of a dynasty.

Barkley, who was standing nearby, was also very excited, after all, the Kirin team was his former team.

Last season, he won his first championship trophy with the Qilin team.

Seeing the Qilin team about to make it to the finals again, I can't help but feel a little regretful, wondering if I retired too early.

If he hadn't retired, he might have won another championship.

But there's no going back. He's already retired, and at his age, it's impossible for him to follow Michael Jordan's example and make a comeback.

Even if he wanted to make a comeback, it's unlikely any team would want him.

Just as the entire Qilin team was celebrating their victory, Iverson and Duncan exchanged a glance and then walked into the player tunnel without saying a word.

As Mike Brin said, they gave it their all in the game, but still lost in the end.

If they had just won this match, they would have been even more confident in the next one.

But now it's all over.

With McGrady's game-winning shot, the pressure of being eliminated weighed heavily on their hearts like a mountain.

Can they win the fourth game?

They had absolutely no confidence!

Post-match press conference for the Qilin team.

Tonight, Chen Fang brought McGrady to the press conference.

At the press conference, Chen Fang praised McGrady.

"Without a doubt, Tracy is a player with a big heart. Kobe's presence may have overshadowed his brilliance, but when the team is in trouble, Tracy will step up and save the team from danger!"

"He did it tonight, he's the hero of the Qilin team!"

After praising McGrady, Chen Fang continued, "Although we are currently leading 3-0, we will not let our guard down. The Spurs will definitely launch a counterattack in the fourth game because they have no way out."

It has to be said that sometimes your opponent may know you better than you know yourself.

Popovich also spoke about Game 4 in the post-game press conference.

"We have no way out. We will go all out in the fourth game and strive for a victory."

Coach Popovich no longer expects the Spurs to advance; he only hopes they can win a game so they don't lose too badly.

After Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

The footage of McGrady's game-winning shot immediately made headlines across major media outlets, overshadowing Kobe Bryant at one point!

Kobe was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was very happy.

Because basketball is a team sport, no matter how strong one person is, they can't win all the time.

Only when the entire team is strong can we be invincible.

The day after Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals ended, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals also concluded.

To everyone's surprise, the Pacers lost again despite the Knicks missing their star player, Patrick Ewing.

Moreover, the Pacers were also defeated by a last-second shot.

In the final moments of the game, the Knicks' Larry Johnson hit a buzzer-beating mid-range jumper from the free-throw line, helping his team secure a 92-91 victory at home.

In this game, four Knicks players scored in double figures.

Larry Johnson scored a game-high 26 points, along with 8 rebounds.

Allan Houston, who also started the game, contributed 15 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

Besides Larry Johnson's strong performance, Marcus Camby's contribution off the bench was also crucial to the Knicks' victory.

Camby came off the bench and played 33 minutes, efficiently scoring 21 points, along with 11 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 blocks, successfully anchoring the Knicks' interior defense.

Latrell Sprewell also came off the bench and scored 14 points.

On the other hand, Reggie Miller continued to underperform for the Indiana Pacers, scoring only 12 points throughout the game.

Rick Schmitz became the Pacers' key player in this game, scoring 25 points efficiently in just 24 minutes of play.

Mark Jackson scored the second-highest number of points on the team with 13.

After this game, the Knicks led the Pacers 2-1 in the series, continuing their upset run.

……

One day later.

Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals has begun.

A large crowd of Spurs fans gathered outside the Alamo Dome.

They couldn't bear to see their team swept, and they hoped the Spurs could win this game.

This concerns their dignity!

This pressure also applies to the Spurs players.

Conversely, the Qilin team, holding three match points, had a much easier time.

The different states of the two teams were also reflected on the field.

After the game starts.

The Spurs players are very tense, and the more tense they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes.

The players on the Qilin team, however, were relaxed and decisive in their shots, resulting in an exceptionally high shooting percentage.

Even Ben Wallace hit a three-pointer from beyond the arc!

In the end, the Qilin team scored 23 three-pointers throughout the game, winning 124-118.

They swept the San Antonio Spurs 4-0, advancing to the NBA Finals for the third consecutive year.

This marks the second consecutive year that the Spurs have fallen to the Qilin team in the playoffs.

Despite feeling a lot of resentment, Duncan and Iverson still offered their blessings.

"Kobe, you are strong, but I will definitely beat you. I will definitely be the one to advance to the Finals next year," Iverson said with a determined look in his eyes.

Kobe smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you get to the Finals."

On the other side, Duncan also came up to McGrady and said, "Tracy, congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Although the two were in the same year, they didn't have much of a relationship and only exchanged simple greetings.

On the contrary, Mr. Popovich chatted with Chen Fang for a few more minutes.

"Chen, congratulations, you're about to win another championship ring."

"Not at all, sir, you're too kind."

Chen Fang feigned modesty, but there was no trace of humility in his smile.

After the final match, Chen Fang and his Qilin team began their short vacation.

As for the Spurs, they have begun a long off-season.
