Chapter 232 Kill the game!
After the tactics were arranged, the game resumed.

Lin Yu directly launched a death coil on Duncan.

Due to Lin Yu's close defense, it now becomes difficult for Duncan to connect the ball.

Ginobili had to take over the offensive banner. With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, Ginobili successfully broke through, passed Okur with a European step, and then Ginobili wanted to layup.

"Manu, don't think about scoring easily!"

Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Ginobili's pupils shrank subconsciously.

not good!

Ginobili didn't expect that Lin Yu could defend Duncan while also providing assistance.

But it's too late!

Snapped!
Lin Yu directly blocked Ginobili's layup.

"Nice block! Lin Yu's block might just kill the game!"

Smith, who was commentating on the scene, kept shouting excitedly!

When Popovich on the sidelines saw this scene, his face became completely gloomy.

With 1 minute and 35 seconds left in the game, the Celtics started to attack and led by another 7 points.

As expected, the Celtics completely won the game.

At this time, Popovich was watching the game on the court.

For the first time, he felt that his maximum-level account was not enough!
With Lin Yu making another mid-range shot and Ginobili missing a three-pointer, the game was no longer suspenseful.

hum!
As the timer ticked down, the Celtics defeated the Spurs 93:84.

林禹本场比赛21投13中，三分球5中3，罚球7中6，砍下35分12篮板4助攻3盖帽2抢断。

The moment the game ended, accompanied by countless ribbons falling, the entire North Shore Garden was filled with cheers, and fans shouted MVP!

The cardinal on the sidelines was so excited when he saw this scene that he kept clapping.

Although he had anticipated before the game that the Celtics would not be a match for the Spurs as the outside world said.

But when this scene really happened, the cardinal couldn't help but get excited!
"Let's congratulate the Celtics! Congratulations to Lin Yu!"

"Lin Yu used his actions to tell everyone that you should never underestimate the heart of a champion!"

"The Celtics shattered the outside world's doubts and contempt with a victory!"

Hearing Smith's words, Barkley's face darkened.

Barkley didn't expect that the Celtics would take the lead.

but……

Barkley looked at Duncan.

He knew that Duncan was a man who would never give up so easily!
After the competition ended, the wind direction of the fishing reels outside also began to change.

ESPN: Iron-blooded defense! The Celtics restricted Tim Duncan and won their first victory in the finals!
Sports Illustrated: Shattering doubts! The Celtics won their first Finals victory in many years!
Los Angeles Times: Celtics win first game! Spurs may start to fight back!
Although the Spurs lost the first game, many people still support them.

In the first game, the main reason why the Celtics were able to win was defense.

By limiting Duncan and the Spurs' passing, the Spurs players were forced to enter one-on-one mode.

In the end, the Celtics won.

In the second game, the Spurs also took the lead in changing their lineup.

Duncan played at the five position directly from the start, and Horry started at the four position.

Ginobili was also pushed to the bench by Popovich and started to play as a substitute.

After the game started, the Spurs also changed their defensive strategy.

Parker gave up defending Tony and directly double-teamed Lin Yu with Horry.

Lin Yu just passed the ball directly to Tony at the beginning.

After Tony received the ball, he started to break through directly.

then……

Tony is in trouble.

You have to know that the person guarding the Spurs' restricted area is Tim Duncan!

Tony was blocked by Duncan twice in a row.

Seeing Rivers made my head feel bigger.

Then Rivers made a bad decision.

Replace Tony with Coach Lue. Coach Lue was also a point guard who won the championship with the Lakers, but you asked him to defend Parker...

The effect is really not as good as Tony's.

Although Lu is better at three-point shooting, Parker also has an easier time dribbling through the ball.

With the help of Duncan's pick-and-roll, Parker made consecutive layups and directly scored a 6:0 wave.

The Celtics were at a disadvantage.

Lin Yu and Pierce both stood up.

Lin Yu first performed a dreamy dance move to shake off Duncan and then made a successful layup.

Then he made another pull-up three-pointer, which went in despite Horry's defense.

Facing Bowen's defense, Pierce succeeded in a back-to-the-basket single and then took a step back and scored from mid-range.

Lin Yu and Pierce exerted their efforts and instantly eliminated the score difference, and even directly reversed the score.

However, the G Spurs trio was not a bad combination and they kept the score close until the fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter of the game!
The king of the final quarter is here!

Facing Duncan's defense, Lin Yu scored consecutive singles.

This time, it was not any of the trio that stood out for the Spurs.

But it's Robert Horry!

"Nice three-pointer! The key man Robert Horry stood out again!"

"The difference is only 5 points. The Spurs still have a chance and they still have hope!"

Barkley also shouted excitedly at this time.

on the field.

Horry was not surprised to see this scene.

This is not the first time he has saved the team, and he believes it will not be the last!
Lin Yu was not surprised at all when he saw Horry retreating.

After all, in the original history, Horry also stood up.

Horry is a famous key player in NBA history.

In the original history, Horry also stood out in the decisive battle of the finals.

The Spurs tied the Pistons 2-2 in the finals.

In the crucial decisive battle, the 34-year-old Horry was not affected at all after his left shoulder injury.

He continued to play, scoring 21 of his 18 points in the game after the injury.

With 5.9 seconds left in overtime, Horry received a pass from Ginobili outside the three-point line and made a key three-pointer, changing the score to 96:95.

The final score was frozen here. Relying on Horry's performance, the Spurs struggled to change the score to 3:2.

The Spurs won the championship in Game 7, and Duncan won the third of his five career rings.

At this time Horry stood up again!
but……

I'm stronger!
Lin Yu faced Robert Horry with the ball. At this time, the "Big Heart Killer" and "King of the Final Quarter" had been fully triggered.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yu attacked directly.

Horry wanted to block Lin Yu, but he couldn't do it at all, and could only watch Lin Yu complete the shot.

Swish!
The basketball goes hollow into the net.

After landing, Lin Yu also started to talk trash to Horry.

"Robert, although your key shot was good, it's a pity that you hit me."

"Trust me, you can't kill this game!"

"Lin Yu, don't be too confident. I know you are a superstar, but don't underestimate us little people!"

Horry's voice was full of confidence in himself.

"Do you think you can turn the Celtics around?"

"Want to experience despair?"

Lin Yu looked at Horry and a smile appeared on his face.

When Huo Li heard Lin Yu's words, his brows couldn't help but frown.

Although Horry performed well in the key shots, the Celtics continued to double-team Duncan.
