With a 4-point difference, Russell Westbrook was holding the ball and gnashing his teeth to attack. At this time, the Thunder found that their offense was very difficult, but for this must-win victory, they still had to fight.

Against the defensive pressure given by Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook rushed inside, jumped up with all his strength, and sent the basketball to the basket!

"Russell Westbrook's layup! Although it was only the third quarter, the two sides played like there were seconds left in the fourth quarter!"

Manu Ginobili cameo as point guard, took the ball to the frontcourt, and signaled Anxi to come out.

Anxi understood that this was to cooperate with him, so he quickly went around and made a cross screen cooperation with Manu Ginobili. Manu attracted Kevin Durant's defense, and the basketball was caught by Manu Ginobili. Handed it to Anxi, Anxi caught the ball!

In the absence of other big shots on the field, Anxi's offensive position was raised sharply, and he faced Russell Westbrook with the ball. Anxi dribbled a few steps, rushed to the free throw line, and stepped on the free throw line to make a kick CIC.

Swish! Perfect hit!

"Anxi's CIC! Go in! The point difference is still 4 points! There are 1 minute and 58 seconds left in the third quarter!"

Anxi excitedly gave Manu a high-five. At the moment of chasing points, Anxi also began to show his recent progress on the offensive end.

Russell Westbrook slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt. He controlled the time. When 1 minute 58 seconds slowly reached 1 minute 43 seconds, Russell Westbrook started.

Kendrick Perkins pulls out to set a pick-and-roll for Russell Westbrook, who uses the screen to throw off Manu Ginobili and rush inside the three-point line, forming a Use the small to fight the big.

Facing Tim Duncan's defense change, Russell Westbrook didn't hesitate, and rushed in without stopping.

The basket made a "bang", and Russell Westbrook landed with a roar! Fist waving! The point difference came to 6 points again,

With 1 minute and 35 seconds left in the game, the Thunder played almost 24 seconds of this round.

On the sidelines, Popovich covered his mouth and yelled: "Speed ​​up! Speed-up!"

Hearing this, Manu Ginobili began to speed up his dribbling. After rushing to the frontcourt, without any pause, he directly took the ball and cut in while the Thunder hadn't gained a firm foothold!

Russell Westbrook retreated in a hurry, and Kevin Durant on the other side had to run to defend. At this time, Manu passed the ball...

After Kevin Durant assisted in the defense, Anxi ran in the opposite direction and ran to the corner on the weak side. At this time, there was no Thunder player within two meters around Anxi, and Manu's pass arrived quickly.

After Anxi received the ball, he adjusted his position calmly, stood outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and made a three-pointer!

James Harden, who was closest to Anxi, rushed over in a hurry, but it was too late. The basketball drew a perfect arc and got into the basket again!

It's Anxi again! At this critical moment, Anxi scored consecutively! This three-pointer directly reduced the point difference to 3 points!

Scott Brooks on the sidelines couldn't help shouting: "Defense! Pay attention to defense!" Then he turned around and swears in a low voice. Anxi's three-pointer further narrowed the point difference, and the Thunder The situation has become more and more critical.

Now, the most important point is that the presence of the Four Young Masters can't stop the Spurs from narrowing the point difference, and looking at the current lineup of the Spurs, it is completely a defensive lineup, and it is not all the main players, while the Thunder is all The main force played. After the third quarter, the four thunderbolts are exhausted, so what are they going to do for the fourth quarter? Not to mention that the Spurs can form a semi-main lineup in the fourth quarter!

The Spurs' attack took only 15 seconds, with 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the third quarter.

James Harden held the ball, facing Danny Green's defense, he also chose to cut in very cleanly. James Harden's dribbling is very interesting, with a sense of rhythm different from ordinary people. Everything was in place, Tim Duncan and Danny Green double-teamed, and James Harden lost the ball after struggling a few times!

"Boom!" There was a huge exclamation from the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and Danny Green, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the ball and made a steal!

"James Harden is facing a double-team, will he choose to pass? Oh no! The ball is lost!" Charles Barkley yelled. "Who got the ball? It's Danny Green! It's the Spurs! The Spurs' fast break!"

The moment Danny Green grabbed the basketball, Anxi started to run forward. He was far ahead. When Danny Green rushed to the center line, Anxi was almost at the basket.

Danny Green did not hesitate, threw the basketball high to the basket, and then shouted: "Ann! Dunk (slam dunk)!"

After all, he cooperated with his teammates for a season. Anxi took off without hesitation. With Anxi's physical fitness, he jumped very high. He saw the basketball thrown by Danny Green from a high height. Anxi grabbed the basketball with his long arms , The body fell rapidly!

Bang! A bang!

"Wow! Beautiful lob! China An and Danny Green's perfect cooperation!" Kenny Smith shouted excitedly, but his voice was quickly covered by huge boos from the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

"The Spurs' defensive counterattack and Anxi's alley-oop dunk ended the offense, and the point difference is only 1 point!" Charles Barkley was booed hoarsely. "In the second half, the Spurs played an amazing defense. In this strong defense, the Thunder lost. In the entire third quarter, they had already lost 16 points. The 17-point difference in the first half was about to be exhausted. !"

Amidst the boos, the Thunder reorganized their offense, but Russell Westbrook's breakthrough jumper hit the iron again under the defense of Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs grabbed the rebound, and it was another wave of fast break. Nuginobili's fast break shot was successful!

The whistle blows for the end of the third quarter! The Spurs overtook the score!

Throughout the third quarter, the Spurs recovered all 17 points behind in the first half, and even surpassed by 1 point!

The situation of the game was reversed, and the victory that the Thunder had almost won, just like this slowly slipped away from their hands.

In the fourth quarter, although the four young players were exhausted, in order to win the game, Scott Brooks had to let them continue to persevere, but the result of this persistence was not good. Popovich continued to let Anxi play, limiting the four young players One of them, and then used the French combination of Tony Parker and Boris Diaw, who didn't play much in the third quarter, plus Thiago Splitter and Gary Neal, to play various small coordination offenses.

After several successful defenses, the Spurs played a few small climaxes, and the point difference was gradually expanded by the Spurs... (to be continued)).
