nba: No. 1 Forward Chapter 595 The Spurs in a Desperate Fight
James and Wade walked to the locker room emotionally.
"Dwyane, do you think it was a mistake after all that we chose to join forces?"
James is a little confused. He chooses to leave his hometown, chooses to bear infamy, chooses to hold together, chooses to pursue honor...
He accepted all the criticism, but what did he get in return?
fail!
James fell into deep doubts about his original choice.
"LeBron, are you going to choose to surrender?"
Wade stared at James and asked.
"Surrender, no, I didn't, I just..."
"No just!"
Wade interrupted James' next words.
"Remember our original goal?"
"champion!"
James said.
"Yes, the championship, Sickle is not invincible, it's just that our luck this season is a little bit worse!"
The novel app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, and the source-changing app used by old bookworms,.】
"Besides, we just failed twice. We will try again next year, and we still have a chance!"
Wade said firmly.
James nodded solemnly at first, and then said.
"I see, Dwyane."
"Next season, we will do it all over again!"
Wade's words once again gave James confidence.
However, Wade secretly sighed.
He doesn't know whether the management will continue to give the Big Three a chance to come back.
…
The Knicks returned to New York on a special plane the next day.
On the second day, Lian Dao returned to his normal training rhythm.
Although it is exciting to beat the Heat, the Knicks did not really win the championship, and the Knicks' goal of defending the title has not yet been completed.
Before the championship trophy is lifted, the game must be maintained.
Even the second day after the Eastern Conference finals just ended, you can't relax.
The G6 battle between the Thunder and the Spurs started quietly under the media's one-sided reports that the Knicks had advanced to the finals, and all kinds of voices praising Lian Dao...
In this game, the entire Knicks team did not watch in the video room, but all the players watched in their respective homes.
In the last game, the San Antonio Spurs missed the opportunity to win the match point at home, and now they can only go to the away game to fight for the opponent's match point.
In this game, the Spurs have completely retreated. If they lose another game, they will play with the other 27 teams on vacation.
At the same time, the efforts of a whole season will be in vain.
And this is obviously not acceptable to Popovich and many Spurs players.
Therefore, the Spurs, who were cornered in this game, completely broke out in the first half.
It can be said that they were completely crazy. Tony Parker, who had been sluggish in the previous three games, scored 21 points and 10 assists in the first half this time.
Even Lian Dao was secretly startled by this kind of attack power.
Lian Dao knew very well in his heart that Tony Parker's continued sluggish performance in the previous three games was not only because of the Thunder's defense, but also because of Parker's own problems.

Lian Dao guessed that Parker should have an injury.
This is not random speculation by Lian Dao, such as Wade, such as Stoudemire, they all have injuries.
Wade's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals was not very good, and the occasional outbreak was only one or two games, and the same is true for Stoudemire.
Otherwise, just the opponent's targeted defense may make these stars depressed for a game or two.
But it is almost impossible for them to play badly in three consecutive games.
Parker should have adopted some conservative treatment methods today, allowing himself to reduce the impact of injuries in a short time.
But this method is likely to aggravate the condition later.
But now the Spurs have nowhere to go.
Either win or go home. If you want to stay in the playoffs at this time, there is no other way.
Today, it's not just Parker who broke out, "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson also went crazy.
Coming off the bench, he made 6 of 7 three-pointers and scored 23 points.
In particular, Jackson broke out in the second quarter and made 3 of 3 three-pointers, withstood the impact of the Thunder.
Ginobili played well in the last game, and Popovich continued to let him start today.
He hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the game, and Duncan succeeded in two mid-range shots.
All three offenses were assisted by Parker.
Parker then launched an attack by himself. For four consecutive rounds, Parker hit four mid-range shots in a row and the Spurs led by 15:8.
The Thunder, who sit at home, had no time to catch their breath, and the Spurs were on full fire.
The French sports car that had surrendered felt hot. With Dior's assist, he even made a three-pointer that he was not good at.
Just after the first quarter, Parker scored 17 points and 5 assists.
Under the crazy attack of the Knicks, the Thunder seemed a little flustered.
Especially on both offensive and defensive ends, he played a little timidly, especially when there were many unnecessary mistakes.
The Spurs led by as much as 18 points in the first quarter.
Although, relying on Durant's personal strength to recover some, after the first quarter, the Thunder still trailed the Spurs by 14 points.
Harden didn't play like he should have done in the previous few games. He was completely lost in the first quarter.
Westbrook also failed to help Durant share the pressure. It can be said that the young Thunder was beaten in the first quarter.
The huge score behind the Thunder also caused a commotion among the fans at Chesapeake Energy Stadium.
"I didn't expect that this group of old guys actually kept a hand!"
After watching the first quarter, Lian Dao was also taken aback.
To be honest, although Lian Dao has returned from rebirth, he only has some understanding of the general direction of each team.
Like the details of a certain game, it is impossible for him to do everything in detail.
Therefore, Lian Dao couldn't help but bring the Knicks into it.
If the Knicks were to face such a Spurs, they might not be much better than the Thunder.
In Lian Dao's impression, Thunder was the winner in this game, but he didn't expect such twists and turns in the middle.
However, the Thunder adjusted the rhythm in time in the second quarter, Durant did not rest and continued to play in the second quarter.

At the same time, James Harden also started to explode, making 2 of 2 three-pointers and scoring 6 points.
Durant made 3 of 5 shots and scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
However, the Thunder still had no way to close the score, and the Spurs opened fire, especially Stephen Jackson.
He was the biggest contributor to the Spurs in the second quarter, and his outstanding performance allowed the Spurs to extend their lead to 15 points.
However, the Spurs' shooting percentage dropped in the second half of the second quarter.
Otherwise, the Spurs' lead must be even bigger.
The Spurs shot 54.5% from the field in the first half and made 9 of 15 three-pointers. It can be said that the entire team is on the offensive.
If you just look at the matchups in the first half, the Spurs have great hopes of winning back today.
But the problem is that the Spurs' effort was too early, and they chose to do their best from the beginning.
This is a huge test for the Spurs with many veterans.
Sure enough After the start of the second half, the physical fitness of the Spurs players declined, and their shooting percentage also decreased.
Instead, the Thunder began to enter the game state in the second half, and Durant Westbrook scored one after another.
As soon as the third quarter came up, they cooperated with the attack wave of 11:2 points.
In one fell swoop, the score was chased to 59:65.
"The Spurs lost!"
Lian Dao basically knew the result when he saw this.
In this game, the Spurs do have a great chance to win.
But Durant's performance in the first half prevented the Spurs from extending their lead to 20+ at the end of the half.
This gave the Thunder a chance to turn the tables.
And once the guys are allowed to recover at halftime, the game starts to go against the Spurs.
Even if their physical problems do not occur in the third quarter, they will have problems in the fourth quarter.
Once the Thunder are in good shape, the Spurs' defense is obviously unable to resist.
The home team quickly narrowed the gap to one point, and two more three-pointers, thanks to Jackson, helped the Spurs retain their lead
The Spurs took a 77-72 lead with 3 minutes left in the third quarter.
But the Thunder had great stamina, and Westbrook made consecutive shots.
Durant also showed his touch, two steps outside the three-point line, and hit a super long three-pointer.
The two scored 7 points in a row, and the Thunder finally achieved the lead with 79:77 for the first time.
But then, on the Spurs side, Stephen Jackson immediately stood up and made a foul from outside the three-point line.
Jackson's physical fitness was also greatly affected, making 1 of 3 free throws.
After Westbrook missed the offense, Tony Parker seized the opportunity and scored another layup to overtake the score.
