Parker and Green, Angel and Aldridge. These four men have become the leaders of this game. After the first half, people may sigh at Ginobili's snake-shaped breakthrough, and may applaud Iguodala's occasional pass. But the most impressive thing is Parker's throw, Green's three-pointer, Angel's singles, and Aldridge's desperately stable turn-over jump shot.

After returning to the locker room after halftime, Ricard did not blame the players for the team being behind. He could see that it was already very difficult for the Spurs to maintain their advantage now. After all, the Trail Blazers' ability to play a protracted battle is stronger than the Spurs.

Sooner or later, Danny Green will lose his sight outside the three-point line due to fatigue. Parker, who is no longer young, will not be as fast as lightning every time he breaks through. As long as the game continues to drag on like this, the situation will sooner or later be controlled by the Trail Blazers.

Ricard first let the breathless players rest for five minutes before speaking. "I performed well in the first half, and this is the fighting spirit that a champion team should show!"

"Batum, at the beginning of the second half, you go up to the third position, Andre, I want you and Danny Green to be inseparable. Miller, I will let you play first later. Popovich will not be able to use Leonard to defend you. At that time, I hope you can sort out the team's offense in an orderly manner. Don't worry about Damien, when the Spurs start rotating, you go up and attack hard! As for Ann and Lamarcus..." Ricard stopped writing and drawing on the tactical board. He looked up and swept his eyes to Anger and Aldridge, two big men in the first half game.

"Continue to attack and cooperate more. The Spurs' inside line is not an obstacle for you. Keep chiseling into the inside line, and their defense will sooner or later be chiseled a hole!"

Afterwards, Ricard and Divac began to arrange some details. Anjie was taking a deep breath, hoping that he could recover his strength as much as possible. The intensity of playing against the Spurs was much greater than Anjie's expectations. He had to hurry up and rest every minute and every second, and in the second half, there was a more intense battle waiting for him.

"Danny Green shoots when he catches the ball! Andre Iguodala almost blocks Green's face! Unbelievable! Basketball again! Three-pointer, Danny Green's fifth three-pointer in this game. He will make the opportunity not an opportunity, and transfer to score!"

Iguodala unwilling to punch hard. Green, who had been silent for several minutes after the start of the second half, could still make a shot in such a desperate defense.

This once unknown defender was like Ray Allen possessed in this series. Due to Lillard's rise, Iguodala, who has completely regarded himself as a role player this season, was selected into the NBA's first team with Angel this year. Even LeBron James could only be squeezed into the second team by Iguodala.

From this we can also see how powerful Iguodala's deterrence and role is. However, Danny Green's shooting is like a stone in the sea. No matter how he defends, he can score goals.

Popovich may not like the rationality of Green's goal, but when the inside line is completely locked by the Trail Blazers and even Duncan cannot score efficiently, the Spurs really need this kind of ball to bite the game.

After five minutes of the third quarter, plus this three-pointer, the Spurs overtook the Trail Blazers by two points, and this is the tenth time that the two sides have taken the lead today.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's attack back, attack back!" Ricard clapped his hands on the sidelines. In this high-level game, it is normal for whoever leads and falls behind. The most important thing is to be able to bite the rhythm of the game and not be beaten to the opponent's offensive climax.

With Old Miller grasping the rhythm on the court, the Trail Blazers did not become impatient because they fell behind again. As Ricard said, Popovich could not waste a Leonard on defending Old Miller. Therefore, Old Miller can also organize the offense as he pleases.

He first waited for his teammates to take the position at a high position, and Miller moved just after Aldridge took the pick-and-roll.

Although there is a pick-and-roll, when Miller's slow pace does not put too much pressure on the Spurs' defense. However, Miller's purpose of calling a pick-and-roll is not for his own breakthrough. He suddenly made a pass to the ground, allowing Aldridge, who was cutting in, to receive the basketball.

Split was instantly thrown aside by Alder, and Duncan had to make up for defense at the basket, while Anjie retreated to the middle distance.

There is no doubt that Aldridge passed the ball during the breakthrough process. Duncan, who was under the basket, had no time to pounce on Angel again. Although Parker tried his best to interfere, the French could not block Angel's vision at all.

With a steady mid-range shot, An Jie scored another goal, and both sides tied again.

Another round-trip battle was played back and forth, and neither side could take advantage of it. This is also a microcosm of the third quarter game that has been played to the present. No one can do anything to the Spurs or the Trail Blazers.

The two sides played back and forth until the end of the third quarter. The Trail Blazers were able to temporarily lead by one point with the buzzer-beating three-point shooting of "French Pippen" Batum.

Now both Popovich and Ricard have a headache. Both teams have no problem with their offenses now. In the third quarter, fans even saw that the Spurs actually fought an offensive battle with their opponents.

The biggest problem is on defense. Neither the Trail Blazers nor the Spurs, they cannot effectively curb the opponent's offense. In other words, in the fourth quarter, whoever can take the lead in controlling the defensive initiative will be the final winner!

The benches on both sides of the stadium are making final arrangements, and fans are also cheering their teams with uninterrupted cheers.

As the game deepens, the two sides fight more and more fiercely.

Fouls caused by various fierce contacts, falling to the ground to save the ball, tough defense... These things come very frequently in the fourth quarter.

For fans, this game is getting better and better. But for players, this game is getting harder and harder.

In order to protect Anjie and to allow Anjie to play all his strength in the last moment, Ricard replaced him after three minutes in the fourth quarter. However, because Aldridge performed bravely on the court, the Spurs did not gain much advantage.

However, Duncan, "Stone Buddha" scored two goals while Anjie was away. But Duncan was always at this age, and Popovich could not let him go for too long. After playing for a few minutes than Anjie, Popovich took Duncan down.

Now, everyone knows that when these two giants come on the court again, it will be the decisive battle between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers!

"Bang!" Aldridge broke through and made a layup, and Burris Dior suddenly pushed the elegant forward from behind. There was no way. Aldridge had already scored 23 points in this game, and Dior could not just indulge Aldridge without paying attention.

Aldridge fell out of the bottom line, which seemed not light.

"Doudu!" The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and all the fans of the audience released a deafening boo. The referee was under a lot of pressure and the game was on the verge of losing control.

In the end, the referee only awarded Dior a normal shooting foul. Aldridge went to the free throw line, but it was obvious that the Trail Blazers would not be satisfied with the result.

"Fuck, the Spurs have started to do anything!" Ricard knew the Spurs' style. In order to win, these guys can do anything. Thinking about the "thug" Bruce Bowen, who was beside Popovich, back then, I don't know how many stars have been defeated.

And now, Dior, who looks harmless, is definitely not a good person.

"Anjie, Anjie! When you come on the court, you know what to do and win the game!" Ricard did not continue to waste his quarrel with the referee. He immediately grabbed Anjie and pushed his last hope on the court.

"Boom!" Seeing Anjie stand up from the bench, the Moda Center exploded. Even Catherine was shouting.

"Tim! We must win!" Seeing that Ricard had some action, Popovich also sent his biggest ace.

When Aldridge made his first free throw, the decisive battle between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers will officially begin!

Anjie stepped into the court, and Duncan took off his training suit on the other end. The two looked at each other and both clenched their fists.

In the second free throw, Aldridge rarely failed to shoot the ball. In order to withstand the pressure during the period when Angel was out of the court, Aldridge's physical strength was almost exhausted.

While retreating, Anjie gently patted Aldridge on the back. "You did a great job, man. Next, leave the game to me!"

Aldridge smiled, and he knew that his efforts would not be in vain! As long as he could persevere until Anjie came on the court, everything would be completely different!

In four minutes and thirty seconds, the Portland Trail Blazers and the San Antonio Spurs tied. Tony Parker, who had scored 18 points in this game, was controlling the ball and attacking the Trail Blazers' half, and the stone-like man's eyes also became very hot.

Anjie knew this look. Duncan, who hugged Ginobili a few days ago when the Spurs defeated the Thunder, was like this look at that time! Duncan, who was usually like a facial paralysis, now imprinted the four words "desire for victory" on his face. From this, it can be seen that Duncan wants to win today!

An Jie bent his knees and looked ahead with his eyes focused. Another tug-of-war with the Spurs, but as usual, this time, An Jie doesn't plan to lose!
Chapter completed!
