NBA: Garnett at his peak at the start

"It was a really good game, three quarters on...... The two sides combined are only 121 points!".

Barkley exclaimed.

"If this trend continues, after entering the fourth quarter, the shooting rate of both sides will drop by one percent, and then it will be really psychological warfare!"

Kenny Smith picked up the conversation.

The Lakers lead by five points, but in fact, the difference itself is quite small, and the difference of five points is ...... Two three-pointers are a comeback, but the Spurs rarely shoot threes, not that the guard line can't shoot.

It's because of Popovich's hard rules that he has always disliked the three-point shot, because he thinks that the closer you get to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

That being said, 10 years later, under his coaching, the Spurs' three-point shooting percentage has always been the best in the league.

Character aside, his coaching is really okay.

Though...... Most of the time, it was because of GDP that he was able to keep the Spurs in the playoffs in the early and middle stages, but in the later stages, when GDP left, he was able to take the Spurs to the playoffs.

It's fair to say that 17-18, 18-19 were the Spurs' toughest two seasons ......

As for 19-20, if the NBA resumes, the Spurs' record of making the playoffs for more than 20 consecutive years will come to an end.

......

In the fourth quarter, it was still an all-starting lineup, and neither side had any pseudo-starters, even the Spurs, who were often healthy...... The same was true for this game, with both sides starting the team with basically five of the strongest players in the team.

The ball in the fourth quarter belonged to the Spurs, and the Spurs were advanced by Tony Parker with the ball, Tony Parker's speed was unhurried, and he didn't think about breaking through at all.

So after one of his tentative steps, he passed the ball directly to the inside, and the old Deng head held the ball and singled!

Duncan smiled slightly, turned around with the ball, and then he slapped about three times and went straight to the flip jumper.

"Huh".

The basketball falls straight into the box!

"Beautiful. "

The people on the sidelines said loudly that Duncan was still as steady as ever, and no one in the Holy City fans could believe it, but they absolutely believed in Tim Duncan.

"It was a really beautiful shot, and Duncan's turnaround jumper was too accurate. "

Kenny Smith on the sidelines exclaimed, "Duncan's touch is so soft!".

"I saw a hint of Karl Marron in him. "

Barkley next to him also bowed slightly at this time, no matter what...... Duncan's status has indeed surpassed him by a wide margin.

With Duncan's strength and honor, he definitely has a chance to compete for the position of No. 1 power forward!

Qi Ming frowned slightly, Duncan is now the undoubted, unshakable boss of the Spurs, so to speak...... No matter who in the league comes to the Spurs, he can't take Duncan's place.

There's no doubt that Duncan's strength is in the top five in the league!

Qi Ming sighed slightly, he wanted to prevent Duncan, but the difficulty was too great, even if it was him, he didn't dare to say that he could prevent it, but said that he ...... Limit.

He can only restrain Duncan, but not absolutely prevent it!

In the next round, Qi Ming singled Duncan, and he threw a backward jumper directly on the right side of the paint area.

However, with a "Duang" sound, the ball was directly bounced off the basket!

The rebound was grabbed by Nesterovic.

Then, the Spurs began to fight back, and Parker hit a three-pointer directly after halftime.

"Huh".

However, this unreasonable shot actually went in.

Popovich frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, the point difference has been tied, and now it's up to them to see if they can hold it down.

The rest of the time until the last 1 minute of the fourth quarter...... Both sides have maintained a 1-5 point difference!

The breath of the fans in the stadium began to become tight, in this battle, which team wins, which team will be crowned god!

The Lakers took the lead in attacking, and Bryant failed to deceive Ginobili on several consecutive fake shots, so he passed the ball to Odom, who made a jumper.

Duang, don't go in!

Then, both sides were vying for the all-important rebound!

In the end, Duncan relied on his long arm to grab the defensive rebound!

He threw the ball to Tony Parker, who took the ball and wanted to go straight to the basket.

However, Smash Parker in the back was in hot pursuit, and Kobe Bryant next to him also made up for it, so he had to stop and pass the ball to Duncan on the outside.

Duncan handed the player to Bowen, who took advantage of Duncan's block to shoot directly.

However, the basketball "swish" still hit the iron.

There are 25 seconds left!

This rebound was crucial, but a missed position by Meme allowed European center Nesterovic to grab this frontcourt rebound!

Then he passed the ball to Duncan, who wanted to give the ball to Parker, but Bryant next to him went straight to the top and caused a foul!

Duncan appears at the free-throw line.

First penalty.

"Huh".

Second penalty.

“Duang"

The second free throw hit the iron, and players on both sides pounced to grab the rebound.
