    The boos from the fans at the scene were overwhelming, but Jefferson still hit the free throws steadily. He went on a 5:0 offensive wave and brought the score to within 20 points. Although it was garbage time, this performance was still worthy of recognition.  A highlight of the Gold Team's home game.

    However, although the Spurs are now on the bench, their tacit understanding and grasp of the form on the court are still sophisticated. After Jefferson's personal attack wave, the team began to slowly improve on the offensive end.  To control the rhythm, on the defensive end, he started to use zone defense, and then began to double-team Jefferson without the ball.

    This move is obviously very forward-thinking. The strength of the Nuggets' bench on the field is not bad, but after falling behind too much, the players all seemed very impatient. Originally, Jefferson's consecutive scoring boosted the team's morale.  But after Jefferson was double-teamed, the team's offensive quality suddenly dropped. After a few rounds, the point difference widened to more than 20 points.

    There were only more than 6 minutes left in the game, and garbage time was still going on. Jefferson's performance seemed to be just a flash in the pan. After being nervous for half a minute, the fans then focused on the game.

    In the following rounds, the Spurs' defense was slightly lax, and Jefferson began to kill everyone again, but it had little impact on the outcome of the game.

    In the end, the Nuggets suffered a big defeat on the road, 86:108. For the first time in the playoffs, the Nuggets' highest scorer was not Anthony, but Jefferson. The rookie made 8 shots in the fourth quarter.  In 6 games, he scored 18 points in a single quarter. The 20-point score in the game set a new record for his playoff score and became the highest score of his career. This can be regarded as the only gain for the Nuggets in this game.

    The Nuggets players returned to Denver in a frustrated mood. The team conducted regular training in accordance with daily requirements. However, there was no trace of joy on the players' faces, which formed a stark contrast after the second game.  Contrast.

    The conference finals were played over two days. After a short rest, the Nuggets players took a flight to San Antonio early the next morning.

    After the morning training, Karl accepted an interview with a local TV station. During the interview, Karl talked about the current situation of the team and said that the team has reached the edge of the cliff and this game is inevitable.

    The actual situation is the same. The Nuggets are already 1:2 behind. If they lose again, they will really be on the edge of the cliff. At that time, it will be almost impossible to go further.

    On the training field before the game, Anthony could clearly feel that the players' nerves were very tense. In the locker room, Karl gave an impassioned pre-game speech, which suddenly boosted the team's morale.  , but Anthony has a faint worry. In such a critical game, being overly nervous may be counterproductive, so he is trying to chat with the players at the moment, hoping to ease their nervousness a little.

    But until the game started, Anthony discovered that the effect of his attempt was not very good. The players' nerves were completely tense. It was far from simple to make them relax.

    Just like that, the fourth matchup between the two sides began at the San Antonio Arena.

    Nesterovich won the first offensive ball for the Spurs. However, the Nuggets' morale was high at the beginning and their defense was full of aggression. The Spurs' continuous pick-and-roll failed to find an offensive opportunity and finally handed the ball over.  After Duncan, Duncan also encountered a double team, and his reluctant shot before the attack time was about to jump out of the basket.

    The rebound was caught by Chandler, and then the Nuggets advanced quickly. The ball reached the frontcourt after two passes. Before the Spurs could retreat, Nash, who was in control of the ball, gave the ball to him with a lob.  In the hands of Brand inside, Anthony and Korver have already rushed to the frontcourt.

    At this time, it was a 4-on-3 situation, but I have to say the Spurs' defensive toughness. Two people closed the basket. Brand threw the ball to Korver on the outside. Bowen pounced on it immediately, and Korver  Er didn't have a chance to make a shot, so he had to knock the ball back to Brand. In just a short time, the other two Spurs players had returned to their own half, and they saw that this fast break was about to go to waste.

    At this moment, Anthony suddenly made a reverse run and cut to the basket, and Brand immediately threw the ball over.

    Duncan followed Brand closely, and with his excellent sense of the court and quick reaction ability, he turned around and made up for it. Anthony's air cut was about to be blocked, but what Duncan didn't expect was that,  The moment Anthony caught the ball, it stagnated in mid-air for half a second, then suddenly shook his hand and then passed the ball back to Brand.

    ?Brand took a breath and jumped up. Duncan turned around and was surprised too late. Only Nesterovich pounced on him, but Brand had already taken off, and he was gritting his teeth.  Used all my strength.

    There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the two people met in mid-air. Brand squeezed Nesterovich away and dunked hard with both hands towards the basket.

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    With an explosive muffled sound, Brand dunked with both hands!

    The fans at the scene were in an uproar, but the Nuggets' bench suddenly boiled. The benches jumped up from the bench one by one, and then yelled crazily.

    After Brand dunked, he roared crazily at the fans. It was obvious that he was very excited when the ball was scored.

    Brand dunked the ball, but looking back, the Spurs' offensive rhythm did not change. This time Duncan asked in advance, and when the double team came over, he passed it to Ginobili on the outside.  With a feint, Lee sent Korver flying, took a step to the right, and then steadily hit a three-pointer without any defense.

    The Nuggets' offense did not affect the Spurs. In turn, the Spurs' three-pointers did not affect the Nuggets players. Looking back, Anthony beat Bowen hard and stepped back to hit a mid-range hit.

    Both sides showed good offensive efficiency from the beginning.

    It was still the Spurs' offensive round. Duncan held the ball at the free throw line. Parker hit the ball to the ground and the Nuggets double-teamed him. After all, Duncan is a historical power forward and got the ball in the gap.  With a flick, the ball went directly into Nesterovich's hands.

    Nesterovich was almost facing the empty blue, but at this time Brand, as if he had been given a shot of blood, actually came back with force, and jumped up the moment Nesterovich took action.

    The two jumped up almost at the same time, but Nesterovich's shot was very flat, and his height advantage played a crucial role at this time. The result was that Brand had jumped early enough,  But by the time he blocked the ball, the ball was already in the falling stage.

    "Beep!"

    The referee's whistle sounded very timely, and Brand interfered with the ball.

    Brand shook his head in annoyance, obviously this result made him somewhat uncomfortable.

    Looking back at the Nuggets' offense, Anthony acted as the pivot, supporting the team's offense from the free throw line. Similar to the Nuggets, the Spurs' double-team came up quickly, and Anthony's reaction was also quick.  , before the double team was formed, he hit the ground directly and gave the ball to Chandler on the right side.

    There was no one in front of Chandler. Perhaps it was Brand's previous dunk that inspired him. He grabbed the ball, dribbled it a bit, jumped up, and wanted to do a double slam dunk.

    But with a little luck, Duncan immediately stepped in front of Chandler. As you can imagine, Chandler knocked Duncan to the ground with an elbow.

    "Beep!"

    The referee's whistle sounded again, and he pointed at Chandler's hand to indicate an offensive foul.

    Chandler shook his head in annoyance, and the Spurs took quick free throws. While the Nuggets were still distracted, Ginobili quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and Korver rushed directly up, trying to steal it.  Ginobili made a sharp turn and passed Korver cleanly.

    Two steps forward, Ginobili was already outside the three-point line in the Nuggets' half, and he took the shot without hesitation. The ball passed through a beautiful arc, and with a "swish" sound, the ball fell steadily.  Into the net.

    The fans at the scene cheered excitedly.

    "The Nuggets' offense seems very impatient. I don't know if it was affected by the last game." At this time, the commentator Ernie Johnson on the sidelines said.

    "Not only the two rounds of offense, but also from the actions on the court, it can be seen that the Nuggets players really want to win this game. Originally, it would be helpful for the team to be more nervous, but excessive tension and  After getting excited, just like Brand's dunk, it looks very impressive, but after all, this is not the conventional way to score goals. Playing requires relaxation and relaxation, which may not be a good thing for the team." As a guest,  Stan Van Gundy analyzed clearly at this time.

    Karl frowned on the sidelines, but he didn't call a timeout.

    In the Nuggets' next round, Anthony tried to create a scoring opportunity for the team in isolation. What he didn't expect was that when Chandler put him in the pick-and-roll, he used too much force and knocked Bowen over.  On the ground, how could Bowen let this rare opportunity slip by? An extremely exaggerated fall caused the referee to call Chandler's second foul.

    In just 2 minutes of the game, Chandler committed two fouls.

    Anthony frowned as he watched. The players were playing too hastily. If this continues, the last game may be repeated.

    When Chandler came off the field, Karl did not replace Mutombo as in previous games, but replaced Jefferson, who performed well in the previous game.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Chandler's second foul was committed.
