2 to 0

This situation is no longer new.

"You have played three finals in the past four years, whether it is against the Spurs this year, against the Mavericks last year, or against the Lakers in 2004, you have all achieved 2-0. This start has helped you successfully win the championship. Do you think history will repeat this year?" The reporter raised the microphone in front of Xie Hou.

Xie Hou thought for a moment and replied, "I think there is no law at all. Any result is exchanged for both sides. What will happen next? If I say it, I will say that we will win the championship, which is the common goal of all of us."

Xie Hou responded to the reporter in a simple and clear manner, which was his usual style.

After finishing their two home games, they will go to San Antonio and play three away games in a row.

"It's not the time to be careless, you should know that the Spurs still have the strength."

Before disbanding, Claire sent a letter to the team members.

His words are not unreasonable. In the history of the finals, 29 teams finally won the championship with a 2-0 lead, but 4 teams were reversed, and it was a bit bad to see the Spurs. However, although the competitiveness shown by the Spurs in the first game was enough to give the Pacers a certain warning, they did not have no chance to defeat the defending champion.

"You should be able to win, right?"

That night, at home, Xuewei asked her about her determination to win the championship.

Xie Hou was sure that he didn't want to talk about this at home. He believed that when he got home, he should focus on things outside the game. He had already put too much time on basketball and games, and he should try his best to divert his attention when he was resting.

"Not necessarily, the Spurs are a tough bone to crack." Xie Hou said.

Xuewei didn't believe it. She used a clear voice to indicate that nothing is harder to chew than men's. According to statistics from Playboy, only 60% of women are willing to try that flavor. If 60% of women can overcome that flavor, then what reason does Xie Hou have to chew off this bone that has been chewed halfway?

How did Xie Hou feel at that time?

"60%? So much?" To be fair, Xie Hou really doesn't like letting women do that. Although everyone of his teammates said that it was like flying, he just didn't like it.

Xue Wei sat down on Xie Hou's stomach fiercely: "Don't interrupt! Is it OK?"

Leonard said an impressive commentary in tonight's game: "...every witness in the world should realize how great we are witnessing!"

After this sentence, Xie Hou looked at Xue Wei from bottom to top, with clear curves and attractive light makeup.

What kind of "greatness" am I witnessing?

"Say it!" She was still anxious.

"Okay, okay, okay...!" A man who always says no to temptation has no future!

Xie Hou spent another day in Indiana.

The day after Game2 ended, he and his teammates boarded a special plane and flew to San Antonio.

The Spurs have long announced that Bowen will return in the third game.

The Spurs and the Pacers are two distinctive teams.

Silver and blue yellow, golden swords and iron horses against steam locomotives.

Every Texan will remember the 189 dead in the Battle of the Alamo. The Lone Star State, the last broken puzzle of the United States, full of regional style with Spanish accents. The simple tones of black and white, the ever-winning army that lifts heavy weights. Under the light, the people who led the Silver and Black Legion into the center of the ATT were carrying the number 21.

In front of them, the one who led Xie Hou was walking was a group of soldiers wearing blue and yellow jerseys.

The Eastern Conference team has always given people the feeling of being rough, fierce, stable, unruly, united. Pride as OK and brave as Nowitzki's Mavericks, they were suppressed by such a group of people. They had the vitality of jungle beasts. Xie Hou led this group of people, and his existence injected a brighter color into this.

The Spurs are already behind 0-2 and are sitting in the middle of three home courts in a row. They are facing the dilemma of not losing even a home court.

The Spurs' first home game, and the game was only halfway through, Popovich called a timeout impatiently. His face looked like frozen pork. In fact, he had always been like a cynic who was stung by bees in these games. Xie Hou had a strong attack at the beginning, and Bowen's comeback seemed to be unchanged. Artest scored a single mid-range shot with a buzzer-beat shot, and even the beasts were in the state. In a blink of an eye, the Spurs were behind 5-14 - this was their home game!

Spurs celebrity Sean Elliott described their performance in the first half: "Like a group of kids who are overly nervous in front of their family."

There should be advantages in home games, but the advantages have always belonged to those truly powerful teams.

In essence, weak teams can only use their home advantage to win games when they are irrelevant.

A strong team will never become stronger because of home court advantage, while a weak team will often rely on such an advantage.

It should be known that these uncontrollable off-field factors are usually affected by players.

During the timeout, Popovich said to the players: "Listen, I only have two dissatisfaction with you! I am not satisfied with your offense, and also, not satisfied with your defense! You have played badly enough, it's time to be smarter! Have some tactics, like a professional player, and, if possible, if I don't have too much hope for you, can you please improve your defense? Do you want those bastards to score 50 points in a quarter?"

Popovich's self-deprecating and sarcastic changes the Spurs' performance.

Bowen's defense afterward reminded Xie Hou and the Pacers that this person is not only a bad guy who is good at using tricks, but also a member of the best defensive lineup in the past eight seasons. If this season is included, he has been selected for the first defense for four consecutive years. What does this mean? This means that in the past eight years, he has either been the top five wing defender in the league or the top four wing defender in the league. Moreover, he voted second only to Camby's DPOY vote for second place this season. It can be understood that he is recognized by the judges as the second defender in the league. However, the votes can only be referenced. After all, Camby's DPOY that beats Duncan and others is really not convincing at all.

Parker locked in Xie Hou's breakthrough with Duncan on the defensive end.

On a coincidence night, Xie Hou made 3 of 8 shots from the outside, and his inaccurate mid-range shot made his breakthrough limit.

Parker played his speed advantage and swung left and right. Before the end of the second quarter, the Spurs chased the score to single digits.

In the second half, the Pacers asked Papalucas to focus on Parker. The assisting defense of Kirilenko and O'Neal Jr. made this little defender who lacked the ability to shoot at a long time score only one goal, and his speed lost its effectiveness in the extreme area of ​​the basket protection area.

The famous Big Heart Mr. Robert Horry and Parker teamed up to attack Papalucas, successfully intercepted the ball, and forced Xie Hou, who was dribbling on the wing, to step out of bounds.

Duncan began to show his greatness.

With his own strength, O'Neal Jr. and Kirilianko did not score in the penalty area in the fourth quarter. In the storm, Shifo's defense was as stable as a peak, and the offense was as fierce as a fire, as if he wanted to make up for the regret left in the second game: his back hook, a tough offensive rebound and a second shot, and a penalty area shot.

Then Ginobili, and Popovich loosened the reins.

A few years ago, this was unimaginable. Popovich was a disciple of Larry Brown. They all paid attention to details and discipline and hated the practice of letting them go. Ginobili was a kite that he could do whatever he wanted and could not control it.

The Spurs' assistant coach believes that most of the time, Ginobili himself doesn't know what he is doing.

In the second half, Ginobili made a layup, facing the Pacers' three-man defense, and the snake step changed to a layup with his right hand. The difference reached 3 points; half a minute later, he picked up an offensive rebound from the crowd, shooting the board, and the difference was 1 point; at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he used a snake step layup again to help the Spurs overtake; one minute later, he assisted Parker to layup, and the Spurs led by 5 points; another minute later, the chasing three-pointer in the counterattack, and the Spurs led by 8 points.

The Spurs settle first and then rise up, and make every effort to maintain their lead.

Xie Hou tried long shots at the last moment, but he still stopped making a move with no touch. Ginobili's long hair continued to fly, and his rotational counterattack allowed the Spurs to establish an advantage that was enough to lock in the victory.

The game is almost over here.

In this ups and downs, Duncan, as the core of offense and defense, helped the Spurs establish a victory, Parker and Horry's strength was assisting, and Ginobili's outbreak was the key.

Duncan scored 29 points and 19 rebounds in the game. Ginobili made the sixth appearance, scoring 26 points and 5 assists, Parker scored 15 points, and the Spurs played their own characteristics on both ends of the offense and defense, winning a victory 93-81.

The Spurs won the game, but Claire complained about it. He believed that the Spurs' defensive actions were too rude and some of them had exceeded the scope of basketball.

Popovich mocked: "I don't know what other moves are not within the scope of basketball after the second game."

The smell of gunpowder, the taste of gunpowder, and the grudges gradually increase, and this war will surely intensify.
Chapter completed!
