In the first game of the Finals, under the leadership of Wu Feng and others, the Atlanta Hawks, playing away from home, were lucky enough to narrowly defeat the San Antonio Spurs and win a good start.
Therefore, many people feel that the Eagles have a greater chance of winning the championship.
However, what they did not expect was that the Eagles, who won the first victory in the finals, not only failed to seize this advantage, but also regrettably lost in the next two games.
At this time, the balance of the championship once again tilted towards the Spurs.
However, everyone who paid attention to this year's finals was shocked, because this year's finals were simply full of suspense.
When the Spurs led the Hawks 2:1, the Hawks defeated the Spurs twice in a row and obtained the match point in the finals.
However, most fans are much calmer at this time and do not think hot-headedly that the Eagles have won this year's championship. After all, several previous predictions have been wrong.
Because of this, when the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Hawks with a huge score in Game 6, they were not so surprised.
After this game, the Eagles and Spurs tied at 3:3, with only one game left to decide this year's championship.
This year's finals are simply extremely exciting. The finals in recent years have been much more exciting. Except for the sixth game, the other five finals were extremely fierce. Both teams showed super strong teams. Strength.
Today, the seventh game of this year¡¯s finals will be held at the AT&T Center Arena in San Antonio.
This game is somewhat disadvantageous for the Eagles, after all, they are playing away from home.
The Spurs play at home. Tonight's starting lineup has been slightly adjusted compared to before. Manu Ginobili once again entered the starting lineup as a shooting guard. The other positions are center Tim Duncan and power forward Boyce Diaw. Small forward Kawhi Leonard, point guard Tony Parker.
The Hawks¡¯ starting five have not changed much, with center Al Horford, power forward Josh Smith, small forward Marvin Williams, shooting guard Kirk Hinrich and point guard Wu Feng.
"Dear viewers, the game is about to begin. Duncan and Horford have arrived at the center circle. Get ready to jump the ball." Ke Fan said to the audience while looking at the computer screen.
At the scene, the jump ball had already begun. Al Horford and Boyce Diaw collided violently in the air. Since Al Horford's reaction was a bit slow, the experienced 'Shifo' successfully deflected the ball. Toward the Spurs, Kawhi Leonard grabbed the ball, and the Spurs got their first offensive opportunity of the game.
Kawhi Leonard beat Marvin Williams and passed the ball to Tony Parker.
Tony Parker just caught the ball. Wu Feng appeared in front of him ready.
"The French sports car" waved to his teammates decisively, and then Duncan came up and set a pick-and-roll for him.
With a "swish" sound, Parker escaped from Wu Feng's defense and hit an emergency stop jumper from a 45-degree angle on the left side.
In the first four minutes, the Eagles and Spurs were still playing extremely anxiously. The shooting percentages of both teams remained at around 50%, and the point difference was only between one and three points.
But, when the first quarter was halfway through. The Spurs' "Demon Sword" Ginobili suddenly went berserk and broke into the Hawks' interior twice in a row to complete three-pointers.
Not only that. He also made a pass to Tony Parker, assisting him to hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.
In the blink of an eye. The Spurs established a ten-point lead.
When Manu Ginobili hit a three-pointer for the second time, Hawks head coach Larry Drew had already called a timeout and replaced Marvin Williams, who was not performing very well. Got on McGrady.
But this time the substitutions did not allow the Eagles to bring the score closer, but instead the score difference became wider and wider.
Larry Drew was very anxious, but thinking that he had just called a timeout and calling a timeout now, this would undoubtedly be a big blow to the team's morale.
It can be said that this championship tiebreaker is a life and death battle between the two sides. If you win, you will be the championship. If you lose, you will lose everything.
And this game naturally attracted countless fans, both at home and abroad. The new live broadcast alone showed that nearly 20 million people watched it.
It is conceivable that this tiebreaker attracted the attention of many fans.
Time unknowingly came to the official timeout, and after the official timeout ended, Larry Drew made adjustments to the team's lineup.
Replacement of Vladimir RadmanovicJosh Smith was replaced, Anthony Morrow replaced Tracy McGrady, and Jeff Teague replaced Kirk Hinrich.
The height of this lineup is slightly shorter than the previous lineup, but it has become more reasonable. Although Wu Feng was pushed to the shooting guard position, he can guard positions one to three, and even position four. Wu Feng can also defend with his excellent body.
Vladimir Radmanovic can play both inside and outside, but he is more accustomed to shooting in the open near the three-point line, which is easier to score and less labor-intensive.
In fact, Wu Feng and Jeff Teague are on the court at the same time, which can basically be understood as a dual point guard play. Both can handle the ball very well, and Vladimir Radmanovic and Anthony Morrow, two players who can be considered shooters, can reflect their value.
And Al Horford, guarding the inside, can form a defensive gate with Wu Feng from the inside to the outside. The Eagles' defensive level can suddenly be raised to a new level.
For the Spurs, Tim Duncan has been replaced and replaced by Tiago Splitter.
"Defence, defense, defense" When Wu Feng took the ball and attacked the Spurs half, the home fans shouted this slogan in unison, which suddenly doubled the Spurs' morale.
Just after half-time, Wu Feng passed the ball to Anthony Morrow who came up from the right to catch the ball. Then Wu Feng ran to Anthony Morrow and took the ball back from his hands. And used Anthony Morrow's screen to drive to the basket.
Tony Parker tried his best. Just when he rushed in front of Wu Feng, Wu Feng suddenly changed direction. The unsteady Tony Parker was almost knocked to the ground. Taking advantage of this gap, Wu Feng got rid of Tony Parker's defense and slipped to the basket for a layup.
With a "swish" sound, Wu Feng opened his arms excitedly, then high-fived Jeff Teague in celebration, and then retreated to defend together.
The home fans booed, and these boos were naturally directed at Wu Feng.
In this crucial game, both sides are extremely nervous, especially the fans of the two teams.
Tony Parker held the ball just past halftime. Then the ball was handed over to Ginobili.
Ginobili's breakthrough was extremely weird, and his difficult-to-defend European step easily left Anthony Morrow behind.
Just when Manu Ginobili was about to take action, Wu Feng suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ginobili¡¯s passing and overall view are also very good. He quickly passed the ball to DeJuan Blair under the basket, then slipped to the baseline and received DeJuan Blair¡¯s return pass.
At this time, Wu Feng was like a shadow, following Manu Ginobili closely.
After Manu Ginobili made a circle on the baseline, there were only three seconds left in the twenty-four-second attack time. ¡®Demon Sword¡¯ held the ball with both hands and stood on tiptoes.
Wu Feng saw this and rushed forward quickly. However, Ginobili immediately retracted his body and avoided Wu Feng's body. Take action directly.
"Whoosh", the orange basketball hit the net.
Wu Feng shook his head in annoyance, but he also had to admire the ability of the ¡®Demon Sword¡¯ Ginobili.
The Eagles¡¯ counterattack.
Anthony Morrow received a pass from Wu Feng from the outside. Hit another three-pointer.
Josh Smith and other players sitting on the bench cheered excitedly.
Ginobili made a layup and was blocked by Al Horford. Vladimir Radmanovic grabbed a backcourt rebound in the chaos.
After receiving the pass from Vladimir Radmanovic, Wu Feng was like a wild horse running wild. Rush forward. Manu Ginobili quickly retreated and then stood in front of Wu Feng.
"Defence, defense, defense" The voice of defense sounded again in the audience.
Wu Feng dribbled the ball back and forth, and then suddenly like an arrow, he broke through from the left side of Kawhi Leonard in one stride.
Kawhi Leonard was last year¡¯s rookie. Although he is very young, his defensive ability is quite good. When he first entered the league, his template was Gerald Wallace and Shawn Marion.
Therefore, facing Wu Feng's breakthrough, he quickly followed up and stuck to Wu Feng's side. Wu Feng hit the ground and passed the ball to Al Horford under the basket. Then he used his speed to move quickly and slipped from the baseline to the right.
"Al!" Wu Feng shouted, stretching out his hands, ready to receive Al Horford's pass.
Al Horford and Wu Feng cooperated perfectly. When Wu Feng ran out of the open space, Al Horford had already passed the ball to Wu Feng.
When Wu Feng receives the ball and makes a shooting motion,Afterwards, Kawhi Leonard jumped up and pounced with all his strength.
After seeing Kawhi Leonard rushing towards him, Wu Feng, instead of panicking, looked calm.
Suddenly, Wu Feng took back his shooting action and suddenly rushed to the basket with the ball. At this time, most people on the Spurs team did not expect that Wu Feng would use a fake move to deceive Kawhi Leonard, and then rush to the basket.
Wu Feng jumped very high, and his entire head easily crossed the basket.
¡°Damn it, DeJuan, stop him quickly.¡± Kawhi Leonard shouted anxiously.
DeJuan Blair was not far from the basket. After hearing Kawhi Leonard's voice, he rushed forward and jumped up, trying to block Wu Feng's dunk.
Wu Feng did not care. His body tensed up as he rose into the air, and all the strength in his body was concentrated on his right hand.
"Boom", the basketball stand shook and the hoop made a squeaking sound.
From this scene, we can see how domineering Wu Feng¡¯s dunk was this time.
DeJuan Blair collided head-on with Wu Feng, but he was in a defensive state, and his strength and jumping were not at their peak, so how could he compare with Wu Feng who gathered all his strength to launch this terrifying attack.
¡°Plop,¡± DeJuan Blair fell to the ground.
"Dip", even though DeJuan Blair was embarrassed in this defense. But the referee did not pity him and still whistled for a defensive foul.
Wu Feng also staggered twice when he landed. But he didn't fall.
Al Horford rushed to Wu Feng and gave Wu Feng a high-five excitedly.
"Swish" sound. The boos from the home fans did not have any impact on Wu Feng's free throw, and the ball was safely put into the basket by him.
Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili were quickly replaced, and their replacements were Stephen Jackson and Danny Green.
At this time, there were less than three minutes left in the first quarter.
With more than two minutes left in the first quarter, Wu Feng suddenly broke out and hit three consecutive shots, helping the Eagles stabilize the situation on the court.
Wu Feng played almost the entire first quarter of the game, and there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the Eagles were already trailing by more than a dozen points halfway through the first quarter. If Wu Feng is put down again, the game may be in danger.
Soon, the second quarter of the game began.
Amid the boos from all the Spurs fans, Wu Feng became even more aggressive.
Josh Smith missed a mid-range jump shot. Wu Feng cut to the basket from the center, then grabbed the offensive rebound and put the ball into the basket.
As soon as he entered the paint, Tim Duncan blocked Josh Smith and reached out for the ball like Tony Parker. The latter very obediently called the ball out. After Tim Duncan received the ball, he hit Josh Smith behind him hard, then turned around and blocked Josh Smith behind him.
?Then Tim Duncan rose from the ground. A two-handed slam dunk.
When the fans at the AT&T Center saw this, they all shouted Tim Duncan's name. The screams of the home fans made the Spurs players' morale rise again.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In the following time, Wu Feng slapped them hard again. Make them shut up.
Wu Feng first assisted Josh Smith for a dunk at the basket, and then assisted Kirk Hinrich to hit a three-pointer from the outside. Then he stole Tony Parker's pass, launched a fast break, and finally succeeded in a one-handed dunk.
In just one and a half minutes, the Eagles, led by Wu Feng, beat the Spurs 7-0. With this small climax, the Eagles successfully overtook the score and led the Spurs by 2 points.
At this time, Spurs head coach Gregg Povich could no longer sit still and requested a timeout.
The home fans have basically quieted down. They were deeply shocked by Wu Feng's performance. They never thought that this yellow-skinned guy would be so capable, that he could withstand the boos of more than 10,000 fans in the audience, and show such a strong performance.
It deserves to be this year's regular season MVP! Everyone thinks so.
After the timeout, there were no large-scale changes to the lineups of both sides, except that Spurs point guard Tony Parker was replaced by Gary Neal.
For the Eagles, Vladimir Radmanovic was replaced by Josh Smith.
After the game restarted, the Spurs' No. 21 rookie Tim Duncan violently attacked the basket and succeeded twice in a row.
?Obviously,The San Antonio team wants to find a breakthrough through the inside.
Wu Feng waved to Josh Smith, who immediately came to pick and roll. Wu Feng immediately used Josh Smith's screen to penetrate into the basket.
After seeing Tim Duncan pounce, Wu Feng showed no fear.
Wu Feng made a shooting motion, and Tim Duncan was naturally deceived by Wu Feng. Then Wu Feng retracted his body and passed by Tim Duncan.
Wu Feng roared angrily, stood one step inside the free throw line, and jumped high!
"Clang!" The basket shook violently, trembling as if it had suffered some unbearable trauma.
The home fans were shocked when they saw Wu Feng dunk again. But thinking that Wu Feng was their enemy, they continued to boo Wu Feng vigorously.
Gary Neal made a crotch feint and changed hands to break through. Wu Feng just smiled and pretended to be shaken away by him.
Sure enough, Gary Neal's eyes lit up, thinking that Wu Feng had been shaken away, he hurriedly took three steps and then made a layup. Wu Feng was waiting for this opportunity. He rushed forward with two long strides and jumped high behind Gary Neal. Gary Neal felt a cool breeze blowing behind him, but he didn't have time to react. He was already hit by Wu Feng and knocked to the ground. Gary Neal turned his head with an incredulous expression. Watching Wu Feng fly up, he hit his highly anticipated layup directly on the backboard, and then jumped down.
Wu Feng grabbed the ball with one hand, glanced at Gary Neal who was lying on the ground with a surprised look on his face, and then threw the ball forward.
After receiving a long pass from Wu Feng, Anthony Morrow rushed to the basket and used a fake move to deceive Stephen Jackson who was catching up, and then succeeded in a layup.
39:37, the Eagles regained their 2-point lead.
The second quarter lasted for more than six minutes. The score between the two sides is still very anxious. At 46:43, the Eagles still led by 3 points with a mid-range shot just after Kirk Hinrich's breakthrough.
Seeing that the momentum of the Hawks was rising again, the Spurs head coach quickly called a timeout. While stopping the momentum of the Hawks, he was ready to replace Tony Parker and the others.
After the timeout, both sides replaced their main lineups. For the Spurs, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and others returned to the court; for the Hawks, Al Horford, Marvin Williams and others were also substituted.
¡¡¡¡
"Shua". Vladimir Radmanovic cut to the basket and received a pass from Wu Feng for a layup.
"Beep", Spurs head coach Gregg Povich saw the Hawks' morale was so high, and quickly requested a timeout.
There are two minutes and nine seconds left before the end of the third quarter. The score between the two sides is now 78:68, and the Eagles have extended their lead to 10 points.
In the first half of the third quarter, the offense of both teams was not very good. Compared with the first half, the shooting percentage can be described as terrible.
Whether it¡¯s Al Horford of the Hawks or others. Still the Spurs' troika, their shooting percentages are very low.
Feeling cold is one reason. And defensive intensity is another reason.
So far in the third quarter, the two teams have only scored 30 points in total in the third quarter, while the Spurs have only scored 13 points. Only 13 points were scored in a single quarter, which is very unacceptable for the San Antonio Spurs.
"Guys, I like your defense, your defense is great. You held San Antonio to 13 points in the third quarter, which, believe me, is a big accomplishment. But we can't We are very proud, because the opponent is a strong opponent, and we can improve our defensive intensity even more. In addition, our offense also had problems in the third quarter. Although it has improved just now, we still have to Do better. Wu, the next team's offense will depend on you." Larry Drew turned to Wu Feng and said solemnly.
Wu Feng nodded to Larry Drew and replied: "Boss, don't worry."
Larry Drew was very satisfied with Wu Feng¡¯s answer. Then, before the game started, he continued to say to Wu Feng and others: "Next, Jeff and Wu will work together in the backcourt. Jeff, you must guard Ginobili and make more use of your teammates' screens." Run out of space.¡±
The reason why Larry Drew arranged this is because Kirk Hinrich can't guard Manu Ginobili, and Jeff Teague's speed and reflexes are fast enough, so he should be able to guard Ginobili. Billy causes some trouble.
After the timeout, the ball belongs to the Spurs.
"Bang," Tony Parker's jump shot missed.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?FlachiEr Radmanovic protected the backboard and then quickly handed it to Jeff Teague. Jeff Teague held the ball and went down quickly, and Wu Feng reached the three-point line on the right earlier.
The main defender against Wu Feng is Danny Green. Danny Green not only has a beautiful three-pointer, but his defense is also praised. Danny Green clung to Wu Feng, preventing him from pulling out to catch the ball. After Al Horford saw it, he quickly slipped out from the basket and set an off-ball screen for Wu Feng.
Wu Feng quickly got rid of Danny Green's entanglement and pulled up to receive Jeff Teague's pass. After receiving the ball, Wu Fenggang wanted to use his speed to attack the Spurs' basket, and then attract the opponent's double-team to pass the ball to his teammates.
With Wu Feng scoring this goal, the score became 80:68, and the Eagles led the Spurs by 12 points.
Home fans are becoming more and more worried. They are worried that the Spurs will lose this tiebreaker on their own doorstep and lose the upcoming championship.
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, so I followed the lead of some fanatical Spurs fans. The home fans once again violently booed Wu Feng. Because they believed that Wu Feng was the culprit for losing this game.
I felt the boos from the home fans became violent again. Wu Feng seemed to have not heard anything, his expression was as usual.
With more than a minute left in the third quarter, the Spurs failed to narrow the point difference. On the contrary, they fell behind more and more. Until the sound of the end of the third quarter sounded, the score of the two teams was fixed at 86:70.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Eagles not only did not let down the defense, but also played a smooth offense. Although they only scored 25 points in the third quarter, this was after they only scored 9 points in the first half of the third quarter.
??And the Spurs. Although the defense did a good job in the third quarter, their offense was very poor. Only 15 points were scored in a single quarter, which was a record low for the San Antonio Spurs in a single quarter in this year's playoffs.
With a huge 16-point lead, the Eagles entered the final quarter with great excitement. Everyone in the Eagles knows that as long as they don't make too many mistakes in the last quarter, the victory of this game belongs to them.
There are not many examples of being able to reverse a game by 16 points in the last quarter, but there are more examples of games that can be reversed by about 10 points.
But even so. The Eagles did not let down their guard. Because they know that their opponent is a team with the Big Three, and their offensive power is quite terrifying, as long as they make more mistakes. Then the opponent will definitely catch up with the score or even reverse it.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Wu Feng still stayed on the court.
Although Wu Feng fought hard in the second half of the third quarter. But this didn't consume much of his energy. Wu Feng took advantage of the short time after the third quarter to make a good adjustment. His physical condition is pretty good at the moment.
"Jordan, go and replace Wu." Larry Drew glanced at the time. It was discovered that there were 7 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, so Wu Feng was replaced by Jordan Farmar.
Jordan Farmar is a player that the Hawks acquired from the Nets through the Joe Johnson trade in the offseason. He was a former player for the Los Angeles Lakers and won two consecutive championships with the team.
However, after arriving with the Hawks, Jordan Farmar had fewer opportunities to play. After all, the team has Wu Feng and Jeff Teague at the point guard position.
Larry Drew replaced Wu Feng and replaced Jordan Farmar with an obvious intention. He wanted Wu Feng to rest for another two or three minutes and then play at the last moment. The help Wu Feng brings to the team is obvious, so he wants to save Wu Feng's physical strength as much as possible so that he can help the team win the game at the most critical time.
What surprised Larry Drew was that after Jordan Farmar came on the court, he hit two consecutive three-pointers within two minutes, and also assisted Al Horford to complete an air-cut layup.
Seeing this scene, Larry Drew looked excited, and Wu Feng and others were also very happy.
And the Spurs¡¯ old guy Gregg Povich had a sullen face and quickly requested a timeout.
After arriving on the court, Tony Parker played very proactively.
As one of the core members of the team, his desire to win is no weaker than the other two members of the GDP combination.
"Whoops", Kawhi Leonard missed his own shot. Tim Duncan took off the offensive rebound and distributed the ball to his own hands on the outside. He broke through with the ball, attracted double-team defense, and distributed the ball. In the hands of Tony Parker.
Tony Parker seized the opportunity and quickly shot a jump shot before Jordan Farmar could catch up, so he orderedScored this goal.
Greg Povich saw this scene and smiled and nodded.
At this time, with Tony Parker's three-pointer, the Spurs chased the score to 96:103, and the point difference had narrowed to single digits.
During the period when Manu Ginobili was guarding Wu Feng, the Spurs had narrowed the previous maximum point difference of 18 points to about 10 points. At this moment, the Spurs suddenly narrowed the point difference to single digits, and Eagles head coach Larry Drew quickly requested a timeout.
During this 100-second timeout, Larry Drew emphasized the team's defense and also arranged several tactics. The most important tactic was to let Al Horford and Josh Smith focus on the inside.
On the Spurs side, Gregg Povich did not explain any tactical issues, but said a few morale-boosting words to the players.
When the timeout was about to end, Larry Drew glanced at Wu Feng and asked Wu Feng how his physical strength was. Wu Feng smiled and shook his hand to indicate that he was fine.
So after the timeout, Larry Drew replaced Wu Feng, Kirk Hinrich also replaced Anthony Morrow, and McGrady replaced Marvin Williams. On the other side, Gregg Povich replaced DeJuan Blair and replaced him with the experienced Boyce Diaw, while Manu Ginobili did not appear on the court.
Not long after Wu Feng came on the court, Manu Ginobili also came up. As soon as he came up, he faced Wu Feng.
Wu Feng faced Manu Ginobili's defense and forced a breakthrough. Wu Feng's breakthrough was not fancy, his breakthrough was very practical. However, Wu Feng really likes those players who dribble very fancy, but he just likes to watch and doesn't want to learn.
With practical dribbling breakthroughs and agile speed, Wu Feng did not get rid of Manu Ginobili's defense, but he also broke into the inside. After a fake move, Wu Feng made a fadeaway jumper.
With a "clang" sound, Wu Feng's shot was a little less forceful, and the ball hit the edge of the hoop and then bounced out.
"Pa", Al Horford held off Tim Duncan and Boyce Diaw and forcibly picked off the rebound.
After collecting the rebound, Al Horford made a fake move, but Tim Duncan was not fooled and leaned against Al Horford with his arms raised.
In desperation, Al Horford had no choice but to distribute the ball to the outside.
Kirk Hinrich received an inside pass from Al Horford. Moving the ball in a wide range, the ball went into McGrady's hands. McGrady also clicked on Kawhi Leonard, dribbled a step to the side, and shot a jumper. (To be continued)
