In the first four games of the NBA 2006-2007 finals, the Pacers and the Spurs each won two games.

The Spurs' goal is to defend three home courts in a row.

If one of the three home courts is captured by the Pacers, they have to go to the Pacers to win two games in a row before they can win the championship.

NBA history has never been able to win the away championship in the 7th game. Although these seemingly unbreakable laws exist for being broken, if it were not forcing them, no team would have put themselves in such a situation.

2 to 2

Tianwang Mountain

June 18, 2007 at 21:00 pm, ATT Center.

Before entering the court, Artest joked: "It seems that we have not played such a game in the finals yet, right?"

He is right, the Pistons do lack the experience of fighting hard in the finals.

In 2004, the Lakers were suppressed throughout the entire battle;

Although he also entered Tianwang Mountain last year, Xie Hou's big explosion that night, and his 62-point performance made the game a solo show. His teammates were like audiences, and there was no experience at all.

The Spurs and Mavericks last year are different from the Lakers in 2004. Their core players are in their prime, with offense and defense systems, tactical literacy, morale, and chemical reactions at their best.

It's hard to defeat them.

He was able to beat the Pacers in two consecutive games at home and through exquisite arrangements, Xie Hou scored no more than 40 points in two consecutive away games, which was really amazing.

Papalucas said; "Let's play a game excitedly like the first time we're having sex with a girl, and take the match point home!"

People from the CSKA Moscow will make strange metaphors, and their teammates are used to it.

Artest followed their metaphor and said: "Okay, then I'll pretend to win this game. Monica Bellucci will strip naked and lie on my bed waiting for me!"

Little O'Neal suddenly muttered him, "If you can't satisfy her, you can contact me, I don't think you are dirty."

“****you!”

The player's speech should have mobilized the morale of the crowd with pride, but the group of people became like this.

Xie Hou smiled helplessly, clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention: "Larry called me last night and he said the management was ready to watch San Antonio win the championship at home."

"Didn't you just hang up his phone?" Kirilenko is always "Yu Qian" who thanked him. Merlin next to King Arthur was not a waste of time.

Xie Hou shook his head, "No, I said to him: 'Go to you!'."

"Well said, this old man just looked down on people." Artest dared to say bad things only behind Bird's back. When he was in front of him, the beast that was vicious to both the enemy and the old woman turned into a good baby.

Xie Hou said lightly: "So, if we lose here tonight and let the Spurs take 3-2 to our home game to play the sixth game, it would prove that Larry is right. I believe that is not what you want to see."

Byrd liked to play with his teammates in his career, and he changed his job to a management person, but he still remained unchanged.

In his eyes, stimulating players can make them take the game more focused.

Whether this idea is right or not remains to be tested. Tonight's Pacers did enter the competition venue with the determination not to let Bird laugh at him.

The core midfielders of both sides met.

The playoffs are a place where it is easy to make enemies. It was a nodding match before. After playing four games, Xie Hou almost offended all the brothers on the opposite side of the Spurs, and even Ginobili and him didn't smile.

Meeting, nodding, and greeting.

After this session, they each returned to the half-time warm-up.

TV stations with the right to broadcast the game have all launched the most popular commentary lineups, such as TNT sent out a very popular combination of Barkley and Smith.

Both of these two are famous Xie Chua. Before the opening, they predicted that the Pacers would win.

reason?

"Arthur scored a total of 57 points in the first two games. You know, he averaged 50 points in the first round. From the semi-finals to the first two games, he only scored less than 40 points in two games. The Spurs' defense does bring him a big challenge, but I believe he will rebound, especially in such a key battle, he will definitely not disappoint those who support him!"

After confirming Xie Hou's name of blowjob, Barkley and Smith both spoke openly, regardless of the audience's reaction.

A few minutes later, the starters of both sides came on the court.

The lineup remains unchanged, and the starting lineup of both sides is still the original five.

Duncan won the fourth jump ball in the finals, and the Spurs' opening offense started from the outside.

Kreza wanted a cover and made a three-pointer from the left, but missed.

Duncan transferred the offensive rebound and passed it to the outside.

Unexpectedly, Xie Hou, who had been caught by the Spurs, left Bowen's defense. Duncan's ball was heading towards Bowen, and only he was sure of three-pointers in the bottom corner, stood at the point he was best at and made a move into the ball.

3 to 0

Sean Elliott, who has been a full-time home commentator at the Spurs since retirement, said this is a good thing.

"If Bruce can make a three-pointer at the beginning, Arthur will be cautious about double-teaming in the inside."

Xie Hou held the ball and intended to attack. He had not found the touch in the previous few games, and was disdained by the Spurs.

Such defensive treatment has not happened to him for a long time.

Why didn't the Spurs make mid-range and long shots at home? After the review, Xie Hou and Robert III believed that the Spurs gave too much defense, and he had never encountered such intensity in his shooting.

Xie Hou is disdainful of the Spurs' confrontation. He really doesn't feel anything, but jump shots pay attention to stability. Players like Xie Hou rarely get open shots, and most of the jump shots are on defense or after getting rid of the defense. The confrontation they encounter before shooting will subtly affect the shooting accuracy.

The Spurs learned from the Pacers, returned to home court to increase the intensity of the confrontation, and brought Xie Hou's shooting back to the form he was two years ago.

In order to deal with this situation, Xie Hou has increased the proportion of strength training in recent days.

First practice strength and then practice shooting to simulate the intensity of the confrontation in the game.

The Pacers made their first attack at the beginning, and Bowen's strategy of magnifying half a meter made Xie Hou happy. It seemed that even the Spurs didn't understand why he was not accurate. They thought Xie Hou was just a simple bad touch.

When the opponent gave him a chance, Xie Hou had no choice but to close the ball and shoot the basket one step behind the free throw line.

2 to 3

"These days, defense is getting better and better." Xie Hou patted his butt in front of Bao Wen and left.

Bao Wen had a cold face, and he felt that the idea of ​​letting Xie Hou shoot was wrong.

He looked at the old man, and Popovich shook his head, which meant changing the strategy.

The Spurs were not stupid enough to keep shooting in two games.

Xie Hou's shooting has been refined by the real gold fire. None of the Pistons, Cavaliers, Bulls, and Heat in the East are good at slapping. They are all teams that advocate confrontation. Even they dare not let Xie Hou shoot. Why should the Spurs?

The Spurs continued to open the formation, but not to make a breakthrough on the outside.

Parker has the ability to tear the formation, and the Spurs are well aware of this and do not let him go, but they just don't want to open the ace at the beginning.

Duncan received the ball outside the paint area, did not attack, turned around and lob the ball to Ginobili's robe Oboto.

This person has good offensive ability at low posts, but he is not very sure. He has effective skills in playing against Kirilenko, but he cannot score goals.

The Russians had a large defense area. Seeing him turning over and trying to shoot, he directly raised his hand and hit him.

Duncan's reaction speed was amazing. His teammates felt that he would not make any moves. He immediately grabbed O'Neal's rebound position, grabbed the second offensive rebound, and turned around and scored in with a small hook.

6 to 2

Duncan was not the most eye-catching person from beginning to end in the two games won by the Spurs.

But the broadcaster named him the MVP of the entire game.

He is inconspicuous, he doesn't like to show off his offense, nor does he have the explosive power that can be seen by Howard O'Neal; he loves standing on the defensive end. He is a rare case of chasing hats, nailing hats, and even catching hats.

Jerry Sloan believes that Duncan is the best defender in history. He plays elite defense every round but rarely makes fouls.

You should know that players like him, with the Spurs' reliance on him, have only been punished once for their careers without the Crawford in April this year.

Although Chamberlain has a record of never being sent out in his career, many testimony shows that it is not that he is great, but that he "cherishes" the record.

Duncan made two offensive rebounds and one second offensive hook on the offensive end, and then caused Artest to dribble the ball and hit the man on the defensive end.

Duncan calculated the angle of the beast's reckless dribble attack and made a perfect foul.

The fooled beast was very dissatisfied and stood up to argue with the referee.

The referee held a whistle in his mouth, which was very harsh whistle and his reasonable attitude. With the referee's tolerance of Artest, if he had any offense, he would definitely be called a technical foul.

Kirirenko immediately stepped forward and took Artest away, and instilled in his ear the truth that "You play well is the referee, but we can't care about it, otherwise we will become stupid."

Artest nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Yes, the dog bites me, can I still bite the dog?"

The two of them reached an agreement.

Artest also tried to get Xie Hou's approval: "Arthur, if the dog bites you, will you bite the dog?"

"No, I'm afraid of being dirty." Xie Hou didn't finish his sentence, and he added, "I'll give it a kick. If it bites me, it may be more than one kick."
