Chapter 373 Let's Begin! (Third Change)

The Spurs locker room.

The atmosphere was a little dull.

The Spurs team atmosphere is good, but at this time, no one will be in a good mood.

After working hard for a season and losing before the finish line, and with all my strength, it would be a lie to say that I have no regrets.

"Cough cough."

Ginobili coughed twice, which was a sign of exhaustion.

Parker was tying his shoelaces, but the laces never seemed to get properly tied.

Duncan sat there blankly, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Dio and Green exchanged a few words, but because the atmosphere was too dull, they didn't continue talking.

Popovich opened the door and came in. Seeing the dull atmosphere, he smiled and said, "Why, are you already thinking about the offseason?"

His rude words made the team members laugh, and the atmosphere eased up a bit.

Popovich pulled out the tactical board and analyzed some details of the first half.

"Keep it up kids, the game isn't over yet."

After talking about the tactics, Popovich said in a kind tone that has never been seen before.

He also knew that everyone had done their best.

After finishing speaking, he took Budenholzer back to the coach's office first.

When Popovich left, the locker room returned to its previous dullness.

"We shouldn't stop here."

Tang Tian spoke at this time.

"I know everyone is tired, I know we won a championship last year, I know we can rest in the offseason, but we can't stop here."

The Spurs players all looked at him, but the emotion in their eyes didn't change much.

They are not the kind of young team that can mobilize emotions with a few words when they are tired.

"There's a reason we have to win, and this is the closest we'll get, or the only time we'll get back to back, isn't it?"

But when Tang Tian said the next sentence, there was a slight strangeness in the eyes of Ginobili and Duncan.

Five championships in fifteen years but never consecutive championships. For them who have reached the end of their careers, Tang Tian's words are correct.

"We're only 15 down, aren't we? The coach doesn't like threes, but that's five threes, isn't it?"

After Tang Tian said this, Leonard and Green also nodded, 15 points is not impossible to chase.

But just like Tang Tian said at the beginning, they couldn't let their breath out.

"We are tired, we are tired, but we can persist, because there is no limit in this world, just like the water in a sponge, it will never be squeezed dry!"

When Tang Tian said this, he stood up.

"WE ARE THE Defending Champions, WE HAVE OUR CHAMPIONS, WE ARE TOUGH! TOUGH!! PROUD!!! GUYS, WE ARE THE Defending Champions!!!"

"Guys, play every defense, we still have a chance, we can't stop here!"

As Tang Tian's decibels continued to rise, the team members stood up one after another.

"The defending champion."

Tang Tian stretched out his hand, and the team members took their hands one after another.

Tang Tian didn't say much, but he was right.

They are the defending champions, this is their only chance to win consecutive championships, no matter how tired they are, they can still fight!

"Go. spurs. go."

"Go. spurs. go!"

With the slogan of the Spurs, the morale of the team can be felt to be rekindled.

The second half of the game is about to start, and the players have all left the locker room one after another.

Tang Tian grabbed Leonard at this time.

"Kawhi, we are young players and we have to show attitude."

Leonard nodded, he knew exactly what Tang Tian meant.

Almost all the good reversals in NBA history have been played by defense.

If they want to get back, the only way is to play a good defense.

Duncan's age is there, and Parker and Splitter are not good at defense. The key lies in them.

"The Spurs are looking good and Popovich should have a great speech in the locker room."

Kenny Smith saw the state of the Spurs when they came out of the player channel in the commentary, and said directly.

"Charles, they still have a chance, don't they?"

Smith said and looked at Barkley.

"Yes, they still have."

Barkley smacked his mouth, but his expression was a little wilted.

He said yes, but he also knew that the Heat were basically going to win the championship.

Since the start of the finals, there has not been a reversal game. Basically, whoever has established an advantage between the two teams can maintain it until the end.

Because they are all too familiar with each other.

O'Neal was whistling in a good mood. He was already waiting to explain his first victory in his career, and then watch Barkley's performance.

The fans on the hotline also began to bring up the rhythm frantically, waiting for the Heat's championship award ceremony.

The Heat came back in the second half to go first.

After the wings were opened, James made a breakthrough with the ball at the top of the arc.

Leonard has tried his best, but it is still difficult to prevent James.

James broke through to the penalty area and saw that the Spurs had no defense inside, so he chose to make a strong shot after the confrontation.

"boom!"

Leonard confronted the ball, but James missed the shot.

But James' bounce speed is very fast, and after grabbing the second offensive rebound, he releases the ball at close range.

But at this moment, there was an uproar at the scene.

Tang Tian chased after James' shot from the free throw line, and jumped slightly.

No fly zone!

"boom!"

Tang Tian slapped James' hand and flew it out of the field!

"Whoa whoa!"

Barkley regained his composure after seeing this, and shouted.

Tang Tian, ​​covered James!

James, covered!

This is the first time since the finals!

After Tang Tian blocked the shot, he didn't shake his finger, but roared at his teammates.

"let's start!"

This roar was quite invigorating, you must know that it was James he just blocked!

"Defend! Defend!"

When the Heat sent out the sideline ball, there was already cheers all over the scene.

Wade's change after receiving the ball swayed past Leonard to the layup, and rushed to the inside to fight against Splitter in the air.

"Snapped!"

However, the moment he picked up the ball, Leonard caught up and defended, and directly cut the ball away with a death coil!

Tang Tian and Leonard, the two young men of the Spurs took the lead in counterattacking!

"Kenny, you are right, they still have a chance!"

Barkley said the same thing, but his tone was obviously different from before.

After Leonard made the steal, he turned around and gave it to Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tianyun threw it directly to Parker with one step.

Parker rushed from the backcourt to the frontcourt and scored a layup.

The Spurs came back to take the lead in the second half!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Not only because of the two points scored, but also the entire mental outlook of the Spurs in the second half, which was obviously different from that at the end of the first half!

Spurs, haven't thrown in the towel yet!

Thanks to Chunnuan Kyushu, Er and others for their rewards!

ps: I said about the finals system last season. I made a mistake and I don’t want to change it. It’s impossible to change it back this season, and I won’t change it later, because it was changed to 2-2-1-1-1 in 2014.
