Chapter 234: The Desperate Demonic Sword!

After the third game started, Lin Yu also felt the malice from the alliance.

The refereeing problems started to arise in the third game.

The standards for penalties have started to become double standards.

When Lin Yu was trying to make a layup, he was pulled down by Spurs center Nazir. However, the referee remained indifferent to the scene.

The Celtics players didn't care, thinking that the penalty was lenient.

then……

Pierce pulled Ginobili down and tried to make a layup, but was called for a foul.

The standards for penalties are designed to prevent situations like this from happening. If the standards for penalties are different for both sides, the impacts will inevitably be different.

The Celtics and Spurs are both strong defensive teams, and it is very normal for them to make big moves or take shots when defending.

Same action, but instead of blowing the whistle on the Spurs, blow the whistle on the Celtics.

How is this still playing?
Although Lin Yu started to chase points in the fourth quarter, Duncan also stood up.

Facing the double-team of Okur and Kurt Thomas, he made two consecutive 45-degree rebounds.

Helped the Spurs beat the Celtics 96:90.

Lin Yu's 34 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks were in vain.

After the game, the cardinal also comforted everyone.

As an old hand, he naturally knew that it was Stern who intervened.

This is not the first or second time that Stern has intervened in NBA games.

The most typical example was in 2002, when the Kings were defeated in Game of the Western Conference Finals.

But Stern is a man of principle, even though he blackmailed the Kings in Game 6.

But in the seventh game, the penalty standards became normal.

The Cardinal knew very well that Stern would most likely not criticize the Celtics for the second game, but it was hard to say.

Therefore, when facing media interviews, they also began to put pressure on the alliance.

"In this game, the Celtics lost, but I don't think the Celtics lost to the Spurs."

"In this game, the Spurs' home advantage is obvious. I believe that once we adapt to the Spurs' home court, we will be able to pull one back!"

Any fan who has watched the game knows that the Cardinal's words were full of innuendo.

In the fourth game, perhaps after the Cardinal put pressure on him and got Stern's attention, the penalty standards returned to normal.

The two sides engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight at the AT&T Center.

"Robert Horry tackled Kurt Thomas!"

"Kurt Thomas went to the free throw line and made both free throws."

"The Spurs started to attack, Ginobili tried to break through, but was knocked away by Okur."

"Ginobili stepped to the free throw line. This game was really intense. The score at halftime was already the lowest in the match between the two teams!"

Barkley, who was commentating on the scene, was also a little surprised at this time.

He also didn't expect that this game would be so intense!
The current playing style of both sides is really simple and rough. If you can't defend, you will foul.

It is better to let the opponent go to the free throw line than let them score easily!

In fact, it is normal for the competition to be fierce.

For the Celtics, once the Spurs win Game 4.

Since it is now a 2-3-2 format, the next game will still be at the Spurs' home court.

The Celtics are likely to be defeated by their opponents in three consecutive games.

The Celtics will be in real danger then!
For the Spurs, as long as they win this game, the balance of victory will be reversed.

If we lose, the series score will become 3:1.

In the history of NBA, no team has ever been able to make a comeback in the finals!

There will be in the future, but not now.

No matter which side it is, this is a game that cannot be lost!
Therefore, this is destined to be a meat grinder game!

In a game like this, the only way to win is to rely on the star player.

The two sides fought until the last 3 minutes and 11 seconds, and the game was tied at 68:68.

The Celtics began to attack.

Faced with such a game, Lin Yu directly used the same tank breakthrough as James.

bump!
Accompanied by the sound of muscles colliding, Horry was directly knocked away by Lin Yu.

After entering the penalty area, Lin Yu faced Duncan's defense.

He first made a fake shot, and Duncan had no choice but to step forward to block the shot.

Because Lin Yu's shot was too accurate. Even though Duncan knew it might be a fake move, he still had to block it.

Then Lin Yu took a step forward with his right foot and turned around to pass Duncan. Bang!

As the sound of dunking rang out, Lin Yu directly made a dunk with both hands!
"Beautiful dream dance steps! I have to say, Dayu's dream dance steps are really just like a textbook!"

Coach Zhang praised and expressed his feelings.

When Popovich on the sidelines saw this scene, his face looked very ugly.

Lin Yu is the best player in the league at playing key balls.

No one can guarantee that the Spurs can really stop the Celtics!
He can only pin his hopes on GDP now.

Facing Tony's defense, Parker passed the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili received the ball on the wing and looked at Battier in front of him, and he also had a headache.

After fighting with Battier for four games, he was very clear about how terrifying Battier was.

After hesitating for a while, Ginobili and Horry finally did a pick-and-roll.

With the help of pick-and-roll, Ginobili got rid of Battier's defense, but Lin Yu's help defense arrived.

Pierce and Lin Yu double-teamed Ginobili.

Ginobili passed the ball to Bowen in the corner, and after Bowen received the ball, Okur also rushed over from under the basket.

The fierce block landed directly on Bowen's face.

Bang!

Bowen missed a three-pointer, and Duncan just grabbed the rebound and prepared for a second attack.

Suddenly I found myself shrouded in a shadow.

not good!

Duncan realized that something was wrong and his pupils shrank subconsciously.

Because a big hand appeared in Duncan's sight.

Snapped!
Lin Yu directly pressed on the basketball with one hand. Duncan was affected by Lin Yu and couldn't make a layup at all.

After Lin Yu landed, he began to fight for the ball.

However, Lin Yu did obtain Marshal Zhang's talent for strength after all.

Although Duncan's strength is excellent, it is far inferior to that of Marshal Zhang.

then……

In full view of the public, Lin Yu used his strength advantage to snatch the basketball directly from Duncan's hands.

...

"Oh my god! Dayu actually robbed the ball instead of stealing it from Tim Duncan!"

Although Coach Zhang has seen many steals, this is the first time he has seen a steal that is like a robbery!

On the court, after successfully stealing the ball, Lin Yu went straight for a fast break.

Duncan was a step slower, and the other Spurs players who could keep up with Lin Yu's speed did not have the height.

Bang!

Lin Yu made another tomahawk dunk.

Relying on Lin Yu's strong performance, the Celtics led the Spurs by 2 points in the last 30 minutes and 4 seconds!
At the last moment, this score difference was enough to kill the game! Popovich quickly called a timeout.

Then he said to Bowen: "Bruce, you have to defend Lin Yu as soon as you go. You have to defend him no matter what."

amount……

Bowen naturally understood what Popovich meant.

He himself is not opposed to doing something dirty to Lin Yu, no, it should be said that he is doing something dirty to Lin Yu.

But Lin Yu may not be able to make a jump shot!
After Lin Yu rushed forward, no one on the Spurs could stop him except Duncan.

Only Lin Yu made it to the restricted area and used his low-post shooting technique.

Either score or go to the free throw line.

Isn't this safer than a jump shot?
However, Popovich is a coach after all.

"I got it coach!"

The game starts again.

Duncan directly helped Ginobili to set up a pick-and-roll.

Battier was blocked and Pierce switched defense.

Pierce played great defense this time.

but……

After all, it is a desperate demon sword!
