"The Knicks have been close to the finals for two consecutive years, and the Orange Army has ushered in a chance to win consecutive championships."

After Hugo won his first championship in his second season, he led the Knicks to move back to the championship this year. They achieved the first record in the league in the regular season. In the playoffs, facing the young 76ers in the first round, the Knicks easily crossed the opponent 4-0. In the second round, facing the Pacers who crushed and won last season, the Knicks replicated their previous sweep process; and in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks encountered the sniper of the old rival Heat again. Although James played top performances in four games, Wade and Bosh also performed well in key games, the defending champion with stronger overall strength did not give the old opponent a chance to win this time. The Knicks defeated the powerful Big Three consecutive games and still defeated the Miami Heat with a 4-0 sweep record, and advanced to the finals again in a nearly humiliating way.

"Wade has already reached the peak of his head and the lightning has fallen."

In this year's playoffs, Wade's performance has been ups and downs. Although he can occasionally play the role of the Heat's offensive pioneer, his sharp breakthrough is still one of the main signs of the Heat's defense against enemies. For example, Wade, in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, gave the Knicks a blow in the first half, and successively used his sharp breakthroughs and accurate mid-range shots to make the Knicks' defense overwhelmed.

But the problem is that such performance has become increasingly rare in this year's playoffs, and the duration is not enough to allow the Heat to defeat their opponents. The most puzzling thing is that the good start on the offensive end not only did not calm Wade, but instead showed a very obvious impatient mood. Wade began to make consecutive mistakes in the third quarter, facing the result of being swept, perhaps because he felt the pressure of winning this game. Wade's offense became reckless and impatient, especially in the fourth quarter. In contrast, James' overly calm. If Wade was like a fire yesterday, then James was like an ice cube. We have seen him seem hesitant when facing Bathir one-on-one, and finally chose to pass the ball while worrying about gains and losses.

The confrontation between the two sides became more intense in the fourth quarter, and the score was tight. Wade's shooting rate was not good at the stalemate. Although James hit several key goals, the situation of the little emperor hesitation still occurred. The two of them performed significantly less than the Holy Master after the final score equalization. In particular, Hugo's words "Don't worry, leave it to me" reflect the Holy Master's confidence in taking responsibility. This sentence has also become the hottest discussion word in the world today.

“The NBA will belong to Hugo.”

The previous generation of kings will sooner or later grow old, and the transfer of kingship is inevitable. Just as Michael Jordan retired, Duncan, O'Neal, Kobe and other superstars took over. Now, under the general trend, the NBA has reached this transfer time again. The 34-year-old Kobe is old, and the 28-year-old James is no longer young. The 24-year-old Durant lacks honor. The future NBA is destined to belong to Hugo, who is only 23 years old.

Looking around, there are no stars in the entire league that can be compared with Hugo. We admit that James and Durant have the strength, but one of them has lost to the Holy Master and has not won the championship for nine years. Although the latter still has a chance to challenge, the honor of the Holy Master is no longer comparable to Durant, and even his age is the same.

Durant now has the chance to come from behind only if he eliminates the Spurs and defeats the Knicks in the finals. But once he loses to Hugo in this finals, it can be announced that the Holy Lord is only one step away from the "God of Basketball". Once his three-game winning streak is achieved next year, the new NBA god will come again!

"The strongest player in the NBA may reject the invitation to Meng Ten again!"

Just as the American media licked and knelt at Emperor Wu, some people would always find some black spots to disgust the Holy Leader. Yahoo Sports is the leader among them, but this time they found the entry point. Although the public opinion would praise Emperor Wu, there were still many people who dislike him. However, at this moment, Emperor Wu was in the limelight, so negative voices were hidden for the time being. However, as long as they got the excuse to black him, many people who were following the trend would immediately turn their backs on their faces.

The black spot Yahoo Sports gave them is very good. Wu Huang has turned down two invitations from the Dream Team. Even Lao K has publicly stated at the World Championships last year that he is willing to choose a lineup with Wu Huang as the core, but Wu Huang still has not given face.

This time, coach K still did not change his original intention. The first person to invite the Dream Ten team of the United States to prepare for the 2012 London Olympics was Wu Huang, and he still promised to select players with him as the core, and his tactical styles would be shaped with him as the core. This is almost the same treatment as Jordan back then, so Wu Huang also feels very embarrassed now. If he continues to not give face, the pressure on public opinion will be too great.

The Chinese team is also actively working, but unfortunately, according to the latest naturalization policy, although Wu Huang can naturalize China, he can only represent China in international competitions in three years, and it is impossible to participate in the London Olympics in the summer. But three years later, Yao Ming should have retired, and even if he does not retire, he will no longer be his helper. Therefore, he was very likely to fight alone at that time, which is something that Wu Huang is not willing to do. He is not so kind to lead the team to work alone.

Besides, although he is more willing to join the Chinese team, he will be under greater public pressure in the United States, and maybe even the league will no longer support him, so Wu Huang has always expressed his opinion not to join any national team.

But now this statement can no longer stop Youyou's mouth. The pressure on public opinion is getting greater and greater, including a large number of European and American fans, including his website and Twitter, saying that they want to see him participate in the Olympics. So this matter can't be delayed. He had previously stated that he would announce his decision after the finals, and temporarily retreated the matter for a while, but sooner or later he would still make a decision.

At this time, Emperor Wu actually had no choice. Although his fame can now stabilize James and Kobe, if he continues to refuse to go to the Dream Team, many fans will have opinions about him, including New York fans, and it is not a joke that people are afraid of. After all, he always wants to make a living in the NBA. Asian and Chinese fans will not help him at this time, and it is inevitable that they have to compromise.

The Knicks swept the Heat to advance, and most of the current public opinion is still focused on how to praise Emperor Wu. "Black" is just a small group of ignorant and fearless people who are brave enough to attract attention. At least before the finals, no one will really attack Emperor Wu with this matter. After all, he did not say that he would not participate in Dream Ten.

The battle between the Thunder and the Spurs began quietly with the media's one-sided reports that the Knicks advanced to the finals and various ways to lick the King of Wu...

In the first two games of the series, Ginobili played extremely efficiently as a substitute, scoring 20+ in two consecutive games. However, in the third and fourth games, the Thunder obviously made adjustments to the Spurs' lineup. Manu was in a sluggish state in two consecutive games, with only 8 points from 1 of 5 shots and 13 points from 4 of 7 shots respectively.

Spurs head coach Vic fully realized this, so he pushed Ginobili to the starting position in this game.

Ginobili seems not fully prepared for the head coach's adjustment. Shortly after the game started, Ginobili intercepted Sefrosa, but was immediately counter-robbed by Westbrook and turned into a mistake. However, against Sefrosa, Ginobili obviously had an advantage, and soon caused the latter to make both fouls and free throws, and then grabbed a defensive rebound. Although he had a little disadvantage in height compared to Sefrosa, Ginobili's speed and flexibility were far better than Sefrosa.

After that, Ginobili played more and more smoothly, assisting his teammates in shooting and scored, and even stealing Durant's pass. Judging from the situation of the match between the first quarter, Seifrosa was not Ginobili's opponent at all, and the Thunder did not have any extra staff to assist him in defending Manu. Before Ginobili fell off the court, the Spurs took a 15:10 lead. Within a few minutes after Manu left the court, the Thunder quickly played to overtake the score. But Ginobili, who was on the court again, quickly played a role, grabbed the offensive rebound and made a makeover to help the Spurs score in the last two points in the first quarter.

Ginobili's comprehensive performance did not seem to attract too much attention from the Thunder. In the second quarter, they still let Sefrosa defend Ginobili, but ended up paying a heavy price.

Not long after the start of the second quarter, Ginobili grabbed the offensive rebound and made a makeover, causing Sefrosa to foul and scored 2+1. Just half a minute later, Ginobili made Sefrosa to foul again and stood on the free throw line. Before the break in the second quarter, Ginobili also contributed a three-pointer long shot.

Although Ginobili performed well, there are still great risks in changing the team.

Why do you say that? Because Manu has always been a substitute. As a habitual lineup style of play, it is likely that the overall feeling will not be found. Even if the Spurs decisively attacked the Thunder's inside through Manu and Parker at the beginning, and caused Thunder Ibaka to foul and lead the score on the court, this could not curb the comprehensiveness of the Thunder's offense. Then the Thunder decisively called a timeout, and then the fans soon discovered that the Thunder also consciously broke through the Spurs inside, causing general Duncan to foul and rest from the court.

In the second half, Ginobili continued to put pressure on the Thunder from the outside, and his consecutive three-point shooting forced the Thunder to make a short timeout. With Ginobili's continuous scoring, the Spurs also reversed the passive situation of falling behind. However, the Thunder's timeout adjustment was obviously ineffective on Ginobili, and soon Manu scored 5 points in a row.

For most of the third quarter, Ginobili became the Spurs' number one main attacker, scoring 13 points in less than 3 minutes.

But after Ginobili got off the court, the Spurs were once again hit by the Thunder and took the lead.

At this time, you can see the gap in overall strength. The Thunder can play more than the Spurs, and the main players can also play more time on the court. These two advantages are hurdles that the Spurs cannot overcome. In terms of firepower continuity, the Spurs are still at a disadvantage, which makes them unable to fight the Thunder.

The third quarter became Manu's solo exhibition match, but this was not enough to stop the Thunder's scoring, because Adu was also performing, with the same three-pointer and a buzzer-beating hit, the Thunder still got a 9-point advantage after the three quarters, and they were leading. It is worth mentioning that at the end of the third quarter, the Spurs did a very bad job. Not only did they not hold on to the score, but the Thunder quickly widened the score to 9 points. This was a failed third quarter.

The fourth quarter was a surprise quarter for the Spurs. Although Harden played a 3+1 as soon as he came up, the score was once widened to 13 points, the Spurs immediately took advantage of Westbrook's consecutive shots and missed the mistake, and returned an 11:0. With more than one minute left in the game, the Spurs were only 2 points behind.

Ginobili still performed extremely bravely in the last quarter. In the last 22 seconds of the game, Ginobili's layup won the Spurs the opportunity to equalize the score. Unfortunately, in the most important round, Ginobili ran out of the gap and received a pass from his teammates, but failed to hit a three-pointer to equalize the score, leaving a huge regret for his perfect performance in this game.

It has to be said that although Wu Huang's previous sarcasm did not affect Westbrook himself too much, many neutral fans were influenced by him, especially today, Westbrook almost became the sinner of losing in the final quarter, which made many neutral fans turn black. Wu Huang's attack was really beautiful, but also very dark!

But when people think that the Spurs will achieve an ultimate reversal, Harden, the most stable guy in the Thunder this year's playoffs, was a three-pointer piercing heart, and the Spurs were 5 points behind in a blink of an eye, and the game was basically over. Although the Spurs finally created some suspense for themselves, it was difficult to turn the tables with such a score difference.

Vic lost to the real Thunder this time. In this game, there was no unexpected high score between Ibaka and Perkins, but the three young men of the Thunder collectively contributed 70 points. This is a real Thunder. The offensive mode they are used to is three arrows at the same time.

Durant is still the scorer at the critical moment of the fourth quarter today, Harden is still the controller of the rhythm at the critical moment, Westbrook is still making brainless mistakes at the critical moment, but such a Thunder has returned to a trajectory, but this is a brand new Thunder. They have powerful players at critical moments such as Collison and Sefrosa, and with the strong defensive abilities of Ibaka and Perkins, this is exactly the combination that the Thunder needs.

For the current Spurs, it seems that they no longer have the gorgeous attack they had before. Duncan's threat has become less powerful. Parker has no middle distance and can only throw himself out of the field again and again. The Spurs have become the Thunder of the previous two games overnight.

Perhaps mentality can really affect a player, including a team with super strong psychological qualities like the Spurs.

When Vic reached this point, he might have lost ammunition and food. He couldn't find a real solution to the problem. Those quick rotations didn't seem to be a good way. The disadvantage of such a change of formation is that other Spurs players can only play one after another, and in the end they can only rely on Manu and Jackson. Even Duncan disappeared for a while.

Of course, the Spurs' failure further highlights the strength of the Thunder. Even if Parker throws himself out of the field again and again, even if Manu hits life-saving three-pointers again and again, even if veteran Jackson makes surprise three-pointers again and again, and even if Duncan's signature hits life-saving and playing boards, these are not enough to win the Thunder. A Thunder team that plays all its strength is very terrible. The Spurs must use every person's energy to pass the level, but they have not done this.

Barkley may be very happy if the Spurs lost this time. Parker scored 20 points in the whole game and surpassed Charles Barkley (2833 points) in total career playoffs, but he encountered a "milestone" game, with only 5 of 14 shots. Faced with the Thunder's strict defense, his shooting feel was still not good.

After watching this game, Wu Huang felt that if nothing unexpected happened, the Thunder would definitely target Parker after advancing. Although he didn't think this would have any effect, the Frenchman was indeed targeted by the Thunder after playing the first two games.

The Spurs were able to win the first two games, which was inseparable from Parker's outstanding performance. But from the third game, Parker could no longer use his sharp breakthrough to bring damage to the opponent's inside. In the face of the active block of the opponent's big players, he had to increase the arc of the pitch. As a result, this affected his shooting percentage, and his shooting percentage was obviously not as good as before. In the past, Parker was one of the defenders with the highest shooting percentage in the league, but today he had only 35.7% shooting percentage, and his inaccuracy made the Spurs lack a sharp scoring weapon. After the power of the breakthrough was limited, Parker's unstable mid- and long shots became even more unreliable, which also affected his offense.

Wu Huang felt that the Thunder could not use the prescription against Parker to grab the medicine for him, because he saw that Parker got a lot of gaps outside the three-point line, but the Frenchman's poor long-range shooting ability made him unable to make good use of these gaps. But if the person holding the ball was replaced by himself, the Thunder's defense would make him feel comfortable on the outside, and as long as he played comfortably, it would be difficult for the Thunder to win. This is his confidence in his ability.

On June 6, the San Antonio Spurs missed the opportunity to win match points at home and now they can only go to the opponent's match points away. If they lose another game, they will have to play with the other 28 vacation teams, and their efforts throughout the season will be in vain.

The Knicks team watched the game at their respective homes. Wu Huang saw the Spurs who were forced into a desperate situation in front of the TV and almost went crazy in the first half. Tony Parker, who had been sluggish in the previous three games, scored 21 points and 10 assists in the first half alone. This attack power made the Holy Master secretly shocked!

Wu Huang knew very well that the Frenchman's performance in the previous three games continued to be sluggish. If the Thunder's defense alone was unlikely to cause such an effect, so Parker must have injuries. Just like Wade's sluggish in the Eastern Conference Finals, that guy must have injuries. Otherwise, the opponent's defense alone might make these stars sluggish in one or two games, but it is almost impossible to make them perform poorly in three consecutive games.

Parker should have used some conservative treatments today to reduce the impact of injuries in a short period of time, but this conservative treatment will generally aggravate the severity of injuries. However, the Spurs have been forced into a desperate situation, either winning or returning to their hometown. At this time, if you want to stay on the playoff stage, there is no other way.

Today, it was not just Parker who was crazy, but Stephen Jackson was also crazy. He made 6 of 7 three-pointers on the bench and contributed 23 points.

If the Spurs had any reservations before, today they released all their power and bombed the Thunder's basket from the beginning!

Ginobili continued to start today, hitting a three-pointer at the beginning, and Duncan scored two mid-range shots, and three attacks came from Parker's assists.

Parker then launched his own attack and made four consecutive shots in 85 seconds, with the Spurs leading 15:8.

The Thunder, who was at home, had no time to take a breath. The Spurs' ammunition depot was already fully fired. Parker not only continuously hit the basket, but even made three-pointers that he was not good at. After the first quarter, he had 17 points and 5 assists. The Thunder were a little panicked under the crazy attack of the Spurs. He was worried about gains and losses and made many mistakes when attacking. The gap between the two teams reached 18 points at most.

After the first quarter, the Thunder could only score 20:34 with Durant's performance alone. Harden was completely lost in the first quarter, and Westbrook failed to help Durant. The young Thunder team was already stunned.

"I didn't expect these old guys to have this trick." Emperor Wu was also shocked after watching the first quarter. If the Knicks were facing such a Spurs, they might not be much better than the Thunder. Who would have expected that a group of old guys could burst out such huge energy in desperate situations?

At the beginning of the second quarter, Garrinier made a three-pointer, Harden just made a three-pointer, and Jackson immediately made a long shot. From the first quarter to the first three minutes of this quarter, the Spurs' shooting percentage was as high as 63%. With 7 minutes left in the second quarter, Ginobili made another three-pointer, and the Spurs led 48:30.

After that, the Spurs' shooting percentage finally dropped. The Thunder narrowed the gap to 13 points several times. Durant made a three-pointer at the end of the first half, and the Thunder fell behind 48:63 at the halftime.

The Spurs shot 54.5% from the first half, made 9 of 15 three-pointers, Jackson, who came on the bench, made 4 of 4 shots, scoring 12 points, while Parker scored 21 points and 10 assists in the first half.

If we only look at the first half, the Spurs have a great hope of winning a game today, but the problem is that the Spurs have tried their best from the beginning, which is also a huge test for their physical strength. As expected, after the start of the second half, the Spurs players' physical strength decreased and their shooting rate also decreased. The Thunder was confused by the first half and only started to enter the state. Durant and Westbrook scored one after another. They started the second half with a wave of 11:2, chasing the score to 59:65 in one fell swoop.

"It's gone now!" When Wu Huang saw the Thunder team hit an 11:2 attack wave as soon as they came in the second half, he knew that the Spurs would probably have no chance today.

The Spurs did have a great chance to win this game, but Durant's performance in the first half made the Spurs fail to expand their lead to 20+ at the end of the half, which gave the Thunder a chance to survive. Once these guys were relieved during the break, the game began to be unfavorable to the Spurs, because even if their physical strength problems did not occur in the third quarter, they would have problems in the fourth quarter.

Once the Thunder played in a state, the Spurs' defense was obviously unable to resist, and the home team quickly narrowed the gap to 1 point. After Jackson made two more three-pointers, the Spurs led 77:72 with 3 minutes left in the third quarter.

However, the Thunder have a strong stamina. Westbrook made consecutive shots, Durant scored a long-range three-pointer, and after the two scored 7 points in a row, the Thunder took the lead with 79:77.

Today's Spurs rely on Jackson in adversity. He caused a foul from outside the three-point line and made two free throws to tie the score.

But after three quarters, the Spurs only led by 81:80 by 1 point, and the Thunder won 32:18 in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs' shooting percentage continued to decline. After half of the fourth quarter, they only made one free throw without counting the free throw, while the Thunder expanded their advantage with 90:84.

The Thunder's home advantage began to be revealed, and several key decisions were not good for the Spurs. The San Antonios missed the opportunity to approach due to the penalty several times, which made Vic furious off the court, but it was useless. Instead, he took a technical foul because of his excitement.

Faced with various unfavorable situations on and off the court, the Spurs players began to be impatient. After missing three-pointers in a row, the players did not even adopt foul tactics, and there were loopholes in defense. As a result, with 25 seconds left in the game, the Thunder led 105:99, establishing a leading advantage that the Spurs could not reverse.

Ginobili still failed to hit a three-pointer afterwards. The Spurs finally adopted a foul tactic, but Harden made two free throws steadily, and the Thunder led by 8 points, only 14 seconds before the end of the game.

In the end, the Spurs failed to create a miracle and could only accept the fate of being reversed by the Thunder. After releasing all their energy in the first half, they failed to withstand the young Thunder's counterattack in the second half. The efforts of the whole season were still over.

After the game, the media interviewed Westbrook, who was recovering in this game. Westbrook said: "Fisher is the key to winning. He is an experienced player. He has a stable mentality at critical moments. He can pay attention to everything on the court and tell us something we cannot observe. This is often the key to winning."

Emperor Wu laughed secretly. Fisher kept praising Westbrook before and after the game, but ignored Harden, who had performed well in the previous three games. This obvious difference was very suspicious. Emperor Wu didn't think Fisher's experience was so effective. However, if this guy could do something in the Thunder, he would be happy to see it. Do you know if this guy has the idea of ​​coming to the Knicks to hug his thighs next season?
