Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 256 Don't Even Think About Stealing My Bathwater! (4/5)

Ginobili's eyes revealed a hint of killer instinct.

Although the baldy had a good temper and a flamboyant personality, no one would accept getting old.

He hadn't said anything about the outside world's doubts about him, but that didn't mean he didn't care.

If his performance in the first half was about seizing the opportunity when the Thunder's lineup adjustments weren't timely, then that last stretch was the most direct response.

Tang Tian looked at Harden's somewhat bewildered eyes and suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

He hadn't done anything wrong, and playing the x-factor in the last game was what he was supposed to do.

But the off-court antics of the fans were now punishing him.

But that was the NBA.

The waves behind push the waves ahead, but if the front wave slaps back, the back wave will definitely be the first to suffer.

Ginobili also made his free throw, bringing his personal score to 28 points and helping the Spurs widen the gap to 13 points.

Harden was a little anxious to prove himself. He didn't pass the ball to Durant when he asked for it, but instead buried his head and charged inside.

The Spurs immediately double-teamed him. He couldn't pass the ball out, and his forced shot was blocked out of bounds by Diaw.

Brooks spread his hands helplessly on the sidelines.

After Harden's super performance in the last game, he was starting to play like crap in this one, suppressed by Ginobili.

Durant made a turnaround fadeaway jumper in the limited offensive time after the Thunder inbounded the ball, finally continuing the Thunder's scoring.

An 11-point difference, still catchable.

Parker brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Ginobili.

As soon as Ginobili broke through, the Thunder immediately double-teamed him.

But Ginobili had predicted this and passed the ball to the right forty-five-degree angle the moment the double-team formed.

Tang Tian was standing there.

Tang Tian didn't hesitate to shoot a three-pointer as soon as he caught the ball.

"Swish!"

A crucial three-pointer without any hesitation!

The point difference, back to 14 points!

Harden looked up at the scoreboard at this time, really a little helpless.

In the last game, although he scored 30 points, Ginobili also had 16 points, which couldn't be considered a real explosion.

But in this game, he was completely crushed.

Playing off the ball, Ginobili made more shots than him.

Playing with the ball, Ginobili's three-pointers and breakthroughs were all on fire.

Playing as a playmaker, he had one turnover in those two possessions, but Ginobili sent out a perfect pass.

Ginobili: The future is yours, but the present is still mine.

In the final moments, both teams were constantly on guard defensively, and the point difference remained deadlocked.

In the last two minutes, Durant and Westbrook hit consecutive three-pointers, trying to extend their lives, but Ginobili killed the game with a super long-range three-pointer.

Tonight, the Argentinian Saber returned to its peak, becoming a 20-minute Jordan again.

In the end, relying on the lineup adjustment and Ginobili's heroic performance, the Spurs defeated the Thunder 103-96 in the crucial fourth game.

Ginobili scored a game-high 33 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists, Parker had 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, and Duncan had 18 points and 12 rebounds.

Tang Tian didn't have many opportunities to perform on the offensive end in this game, but his performance on the defensive end was very eye-catching.

He shot 3 of 5 from the field, 2 of 3 from three-point range, and had 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks.

After winning this game, the Spurs rewrote the score to 3 to 1.

In a best-of-seven series, they held three match points.

And the next game will return to San Antonio.

"The shower water is getting further and further away..."

"I really want to drink it, but it's really hard!"

"Why don't I just lie in the sewer? Westbrook might have a lot of experience in this area (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.jpg)."

"Are you a devil? ┌(。Д。)┐"

"Facts have proved that the law of karma does exist. After winning by 20 points, the Clippers had an orgasm as a team, and as a result, they were slaughtered by 58 points in the next game. After the last game, Thunder fans shouted that Harden exploded Ginobili, but in this game, they were taught a lesson."

"Paul: ???"

"Let's save up some karma. The Thunder are now fighting for honor!"

"This has nothing to do with karma, right? The next game is still in San Antonio, and they are really in trouble."

"Fortunately, they are all still very young. I think this experience is more useful than last year. The Thunder will become truly powerful next season."

……

The fifth game of the series will return to the Spurs' home court in San Antonio.

Just like the outside world said, this is the Spurs' biggest and best chance to end this series.

There are 2 days of rest in the middle of the game. The Spurs players were not as serious as in the last game, and their mood seemed a lot more relaxed.

Tang Tian was also in a good mood.

The effect of the Thunder Four Youngsters' starting lineup was not as expected, and Brooks will most likely let Harden return to the bench in the second half.

But after being taught a lesson by Ginobili in the last game, Harden's state will definitely fluctuate.

The Spurs are playing at home again. As long as they perform normally, the team's chances of winning the game are indeed very high.

From a godfather's point of view, the only chance for the Thunder to win is to start the style of play of later generations in advance and create unlimited mismatches.

But apart from the differences in the times, the Spurs' three-wing starting lineup doesn't really offer many mismatch opportunities.

"Let's win the game tonight."

In the locker room before the game, Diaw also shouted loudly to the players.

Although he is a rookie, he has quickly become one of the locker room leaders.

The AT&T Center was packed that night.

Just like the media hype about the Finals 23 vs 24 last season, the Thunder's strength this year has made the media start to fantasize about a Durant vs. James showdown again.

But the two Texas teams, the Mavericks last year and the Spurs this year, are stubbornly trying to break this fantasy.

Brooks did put Harden back on the bench that night.

After the game started, the Spurs quickly gained the upper hand.

Harden didn't perform well when he came off the bench, but Ginobili continued his excellent form.

Relying on Durant's excellent performance of 20 points in the first half, the Thunder barely maintained the situation at 40 to 53.

The Spurs' advancement to the Finals may happen tonight.

But no one expected that the situation would suddenly change in the second half.

Brooks didn't make any tactical adjustments, but after Durant was defended uncomfortably by Tang Tian, he started looking for mismatches against other people.

Strong three-pointers over Green, turnaround fadeaways against Leonard, forced step-back jumpers against Parker.

Except for Tang Tian, everyone else was a mismatch.

And he could score against anyone!

Relying on his super performance of 20 points in a single quarter, the Thunder managed to erase the 13-point deficit at the end of the third quarter.

And this state continued into the fourth quarter.

Tang Tian was a little speechless.

He hadn't even said it, how did Durant suddenly know to play with unlimited mismatches?

Did Durant have telepathy?

The fans on the hotline also exploded at this time.

"This is probably the most tempting shower water in NBA history!"

"Durant: This is my shower water, no one can take it from me!"

"Speaking of which, did someone make a flag after the last game? Did they lose their karma?"
