When Stephen held the ball through Gary Payton, he almost grabbed the ball by Gary Payton's ghost hand. Even though he avoided his sneak attack, Stephen also lost his offensive position and put himself in a dangerous place.

Stephen was squeezed to the bottom corner by James Posey and Gary Payton. There was no Stephen's teammate here. Although Tony Parker wanted to support from one side, Gary Payton firmly sealed all Stephen's passing routes.

There is no need to say much about the importance of this offense. Stephen naturally did not want this offense to be destroyed in his own hands, but at this position, the direction of the ball being able to turn was disturbed. Stephen did not dare to distract himself to observe where his teammates were not behind him and were at their position, so he had to barely control the ball and not be snatched away by the two opponents.

The attack time is only twenty-four seconds, and it takes four or five seconds just to dribble through half the game. When it reaches three or four seconds, it must be thrown. The time for real attack is only about fifteen seconds in a hurry. Stephen had already spent more than five seconds when he dribbled just now, and he had to be trapped here for four or five seconds. Seeing that time passed by, Stephen felt that he could not wait like this anymore, so he had to throw the ball into the air behind him.

The ball was thrown very high, and the arc was curved and curved. Just looking at the flight trajectory, no one could analyze the landing point of the ball. At this time, Stephen shrank and turned, drilled out between James Posey and Gary Payton, and ran towards the basket.

When Stephen arrived at the basket, the ball fell from the air. Although it did not fall into the basket, it still touched the basket. As soon as the ball bounced up, Stephen, who had jumped up, reached out and covered it again. The goal was counted as two points.

This goal is very strange. If Stephen shot at the beginning, he would definitely not have any confidence, otherwise he would not have rushed to the basket to make a tip-in, but if he said he would not have rushed to the basket with such confidence, at least he could be sure that the ball could touch the basket.

If Stephen catches the ball without waiting for the ball to hit the basket, it would be a step. And if he takes action at that time, it would probably be a 24-second timeout. Although it is possible to hit by accident, as long as the ball is scored, it will be a good ball without any dispute.

This ball will be one of the most magical and ingenious top ten goals in the finals. Perhaps the top ten goals of the season can be selected. Shocked by such an unimaginable goal, the Heat's offense was tiring. In the end, Gary Payton's shot failed and the rebound was snatched by Mohamed.

Tony Parker suddenly accelerated and surpassed Gary Payton. Gary Payton secretly pulled him, but was caught by the clearly judging referee and gave him a foul. Tony Parker missed the first free throw and scored the second free throw, which just equalized the score between the two sides again.

Wade started stepping and rushed to the basket like lightning, but Stephen followed him like a maggot with bones. This was because Stephen was thrown away by him in the first step, so he had to use this defensive method. But this was how Wade's offense could not be attacked. In the end, Wade had to pass the ball to Gary Payton.

Under great pressure, when the game was only last two seconds, Gary Payton took action again outside the three-point line. The ball cut through the sky and fell into the basket. The shot was sharp and decisive. It was very rare for Gary Payton to take the lead. He was not a good three-point line. In his career, he was less than 30%, that is, the two who took the lead at the Supersonics, the three-point shooting percentage was slightly higher than 33%.

But in the finals, his three-pointers became the most stable one in the Heat, even higher than Antoine Walker, who loves to shoot three-pointers and James Posey, who is good at three-pointers. He used his three-pointers to chasing points again and again, or widened the gap in the score.

His three-pointer hit widened the score, but the Spurs were not to be outdone. Robert Horry, known as the "key man in the finals", would not allow others to get a weapon like a three-pointer in front of him. After coming back, he simply tied the score with a three-pointer.

After a change of the Heat, the ball came to Haslem's hands. When Robert Horry's defense relaxed, Haslem seized the opportunity and raised his hand to score at the free throw line. Robert Horry smiled at his teammates with remorse.

Stephen ran for a long time and did not find a chance to take action. In the end, Mohamed blocked James Posey behind him. Facing Mourning, Stephen scored a very easy step back jump shot, and the score was tied by the Spurs again.

The two teams played back and forth until the first half was about to end, and the Heat were still leading by two points. The Spurs' ball rights, during the attack, Stephen suddenly jumped up, and at the same time, Tony Parker lowered his body and threw the ball out of Gary Payton's stubbornness. As Stephen fell, the ball came to Stephen's hand. Stephen waved his arm and raised it, dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

Then when the Heat attacked, Wade flew up and was about to put the ball into the basket, but Stephen rushed from behind and reached out to pull the ball down from the air. As soon as Haslems got the ball, Robert Horry hit the ball out of his hand, but the ball bounced on the ground and flew to the side.

Tony Parker and Gary Payton both rushed towards the ball, but the two collided together. No one stopped the ball, but instead hit the ball to the sideline. Seeing that the ball was about to roll out, Stephen jumped on the ground and slid over, reaching out to catch the ball back.

But the ball still did not fall into the hands of the Spurs. Robert Horry and Haslem were both lying on the ground and grabbed the ball together. Then the two of them immediately fought together. By the time Stephen took the ball out of the two of them, the referee had already blew the whistle of the scrambling ball.

When competing for the ball, there were only eleven seconds left in the first half. Although Haslem had the first step to get the ball, Stephen reached out to block it during the flight. After two steps, he suddenly jumped out of the three-point line.

The ball flew with an indomitable momentum, and the rolling in the air made it impossible to see the patterns on it. As the gaze and prayer of the Heat fans, the ball flew into the basket cleanly. The Spurs overtook one point for the last attack, leaving only six seconds for the Heat.

The Spurs expanded their pressing defense throughout the game, but the Heat directly sent the ball to Wade. Wade has skillful ball control skills, and with his height, it is not easy to be intercepted. With his speed, the ball was quickly led to the half-court by him. Although Stephen has been closely following him, Wade still shot as soon as he passed the half. When the ball was in the air, the game was over, but the ball finally got into the basket and the Heat overtook the score again.

In the second half, in the third quarter, Stephen was placed on the bench by **Vic and rested with the starting main players. The Heat were still playing with O'Neal as before, but it was this group of substitutes, especially Doriak, who had an extremely hot touch. He made two three-pointers outside the three-point line, and made four three-pointers within the three-point line. He performed ten times in a single quarter, which echoed O'Neal's attack in the inside. In the end, the Heat relied on the performance of the third quarter to lead the Spurs by more than twelve points.

When the main players of both sides returned to the court, the Spurs immediately began to chase points hard, and Stephen played the role of the main and attacking player. Although Stephen scored eight points in the first three minutes and raised his score to twenty-five points, the gap in the score was only close to three points.

Come back, Jason Williams made a three-pointer, and the score gap reached 12 points. Whenever the Spurs chased the points, the Heat's three-pointer was poured on the Spurs like a basin of cold water. Both Jason Williams and James Posey played this role.

The Spurs just made a two-pointer from Duncan. O'Neal, who had just played on the court, made a two-plus one on Nestrovic, expanding the score advantage to thirteen points. This is a big blow to the Spurs, which has been scoring and chasing points. There is no problem with their own scoring, but it cannot stop the opponent's attack. This **Vic was very helpless and could only wait for the time to pass slowly.

Stephen worked hard to score five points in two rounds, bringing the score closer to within ten. James Posey soon made another three-pointer from the Heat, which made him very helpless. When he encountered such a touch, no one could slip.

In the end, even if Stephen tried his best, he scored 34 points, seven rebounds, three assists and four blocks in the whole game, but it did not help the team win this game. The Heat players today relied on their own strength and performance to win the duel of this game and won the Tianwang Mountain.

In the end, **Vic was also very helpless. There was no problem with the Spurs. The offense was very good and the defense was excellent. However, in the last quarter, the opponent's three-point shooting percentage could reach 70%. This was a very helpless three-point shooting percentage. When encountering such a shooting percentage, I can only blame myself for being unlucky. Fortunately, there are two home courts, I hope I can win it.

If you fail, you will be forgiven for failure. If you keep silent in the mood of failure, how can you fight for the next victory? On the way back to San Antonio, **Vic called the players to your side, while encouraging the players not to take today's defeat to heart. He also hopes that everyone will have the best state in the last two games to compete for the championship this year.
