On June 12, 2014, on the afternoon of the NBA Finals Game 4 game day, the 76ers met in the training hall arranged by the Spurs and held the last training session before the game.

The content of the meeting is naturally to study the opponent and target the opponent.

The Spurs are a team worthy of detail.

They formed their current style, not sudden.

Since Duncan joined the team in the distant 1997, they have actually implemented the routine of "one high and one low in the double inside line, one low in singles, and a high pick-and-roll".

So, in Duncan's peak years, the Spurs have always relied on him to play singles, Ginobi Li Parker's pick-and-roll, other three-pointers in the corner, plus the firepower threat of another shooter (Finley, Barry), and another inside player (Admiral, Nestrovic, Oberto, Elson, Bonner)'s high-level attack.

In 2010, Duncan was obviously old-fashioned. The Spurs, or Popovich, began to transform from a top coach who could make the best use of the goods to an all-round coach at the history level.

From then on, the Spurs began to look what they are today. They picked up the old opponent Suns' blitz three-pointer to maximize Ginobili's organizational skills and lighten the team's body - this really relieved Duncan's plantar fasciitis - thus achieving an excellent regular season record, at the cost of being crushed by the Grizzlies' double inside line, Black Eight.

Then the Spurs got Leonard, signed Dior and Mills, and reused Green. The offensive system was initially formed and eventually became what they are today: the space was to open Parker's off-ball move, pick-and-roll, and the strong and weak side transfer of multi-point shooters. If they didn't encounter the Thunder three whistles, they might meet with the Heat a year in advance.

Until this year, the Spurs significantly increased the offensive weight of Leonard and Green, and then, a team that played the team basketball to the pinnacle and had almost the best chemistry after the 96 Bulls appeared.

The point where the 76ers dealt with the Spurs is just like the Spurs dealt with the Suns back then.

Pinch their shooters and use the athletic ability of the wings to influence their transfer ball.

The tactics cannot be opened, the shooters are silent, and they are forced to fight one-on-one.

The shooting percentage dropped, giving the 76ers a large number of defensive rebounds, and the counterattack was booming.

They had to fight one-on-one when they were forced to fight one-on-one. At that time, the 76ers played Wei Xia card, and this card was like the "king" that could be used all the time. Whoever the Spurs asked to fight one-on-one, they could use this card to crush it to death.

Game3's big victory was completely due to the 76ers' offensive that surpassed the Spurs.

On the contrary, the Spurs have been considering countermeasures and have had three successful counterattacks. In that case, only the Spurs have the ability to counterattack 76ers. For example, the Heat have no backhand power at all. They beat each other and resisted stubbornly, and then entered garbage time.

It is precisely because the victory of Game3 is due to the fact that Jay Wright wants the players to treat Game4 with a more cautious attitude.

The Spurs were not defeated, they just had bad luck and bumped into such 76 people.

But that state is absolutely unsustainable.

No team can win the championship by relying on a booming state.

Therefore, lowering your posture and preparing for tonight's game is the right attitude.

The players listened and trained carefully. When the sunset was set, they took a shower, had dinner together, and then took the bus to the at&t center.

They found that the old men of the Spurs came to the scene earlier than they did to warm up.

This is their home court. Are there any other places that need to be familiar with?

No, they came here earlier just to get more time to practice shooting with the baskets in the game venue.

There are still many staff members around the venue preparing for tonight's game.

The decoration on the floor has not been replaced with the Spurs' logo.

The Spurs cheering T-shirts have not been placed one by one on the sidelines, so many things need to be handled in advance.

Both sides are at peace and training on their own.

Until half an hour before the game started, fans began to pour in.

Journalists from all over the world, foreign journalists, and broadcasters all took their seats according to their already-determined locations.

Wei Xia's exclusive interview rights tonight were given to espn and domestic CCTV.

Moreover, CCTV's exclusive interview was still before espn, and the sign was very good.

Wei Xia has a bad impression of the domestic media because their questions are not spiritual and only ask some boring questions. Second, some people lack professionalism.

Media people cannot ask players for signatures when they obtain the right to interview. This is an unspoken rule in the industry.

Domestic media regard this as nothing, always being stupid as if "if I don't know, just pretend it doesn't exist."

However, this kind of thing has never appeared in CCTV media people.

The exclusive interview process before the game is completed, and there are 15 minutes left before the game begins.

Wei Xia went back and shot for ten minutes, and then the players from both sides returned to the field. The coach was ready to make the final arrangement. The light of the field dimmed and DJ reported the starter of both sides.

"Take a fight and take them down!"

Before the opening, Wright shouted at the players.

Cousins ​​took off with all his might, winning the first chance for the 76ers.

Wei Xia helped Rondo to make a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and Tony Parker chose to go around the back.

This defensive method that allows shooting space to prevent breakthroughs is very suitable for Rondo.

Rondo had no way to break through and sent back to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia's shooting fake move flew Leonard and rushed into the Spurs' penalty area.

Although the Spurs' assisted defense is strong, but assisted defense does not mean a successful defense. Wei Xia attracts defense to her side and passes the ball to Cousins ​​in the paint area.

Cousins ​​didn't need to go through much complicated movements and put the ball into the basket.

2 to 0

The Spurs sent out their ace lineup as soon as they came up today.

gdp, Dior, Leonard.

Parker's breakthrough was as fast as lightning, sharply splitting Rondo's defense, and strides inside the three-point line, forcing the 76ers to shrink the defense.

On the other side, Ginobili has an open space.

Parker passed the ball, and Ginobili made a three-pointer to hit the iron.

An interesting scene happened. Although Cousins ​​was in a good position, Duncan seemed to be stuck behind him like a thigh. No matter how hard he exerted, Duncan was there. He could not push Duncan away, so when he jumped, the power emitted from behind him naturally disappeared.

Cousins ​​couldn't catch the defensive rebound because he lost the center of gravity, and the basketball flew out of the bounds along with his body that lost the center of gravity.

This is a rebound that Cousins ​​touched out of bounds.

"What a pity." Duncan said indifferently, "It's a pity."

Cousins ​​shouted unhappily: "What's the pity?"

The Spurs had 24 seconds of attacking time, and Duncan was still talking about it, which was a pity.

What a pity, he didn't say anything, so he asked Cousins ​​to guess. Cousins ​​was destined to be the one who couldn't watch the suspense movie. He was eager to get the answer, so he used greater strength to fight.

This is a bad signal. Cousins, who controlled his emotions well in the previous two games, was like a woman's aunt who had to come back every month - perhaps his uncle is today.

Duncan wants to commit a foul.

At their home court, there is a greater chance of doing so.

But the referee didn't give him face. Cousins ​​had already made a whistle rush, and the whistle didn't sound. Duncan, who failed to do so, forced himself to make a move and make a fuss.

A counterattack that scared Spurs fans is coming.

This time, Rondo did not fight back.

He wanted to pass the ball, but suddenly he found that he could do it.

He simply got on his own, but he didn't expect Leonard to rush back to assist in defense at such a fast speed.

Rondo missed a layup. It was the Spurs' turn to counterattack.

The ball was passed to Ginobili on the outside, and Parker and Duncan in the frontcourt. The Demon Sword passed a long pass. Parker deliberately rushed into the inside to attract firepower to Duncan and pass the ball before falling to the ground.

Duncan unexpectedly fought back.

2 to 2

"Today, does TD still have this kind of vitality?"

TNT's trio Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and Groom Albert said in surprise.

The Spurs played more confidently, and the 76ers seemed to have not reminisced about the last big win.

They pass the ball at will.

At the bottom corner, Wei Xia received the ball and shook Leonard, and took a three-pointer to try the feel.

He didn't find the touch at the first time, and made a three-pointer. Fortunately, the rebound did not fall into the field, but went out of bounds, avoiding being beaten to counterattack.

The Spurs are as confident as before.

The 76ers expect them to fight one-on-one, and they usually fight one-on-one when tactics fail.

Suddenly, they took the initiative to fight one-on-one.

When Parker asked for a pick-and-roll misalignment at the bottom corner, he faced Cousins ​​with confidence and left and right changes, and his extremely fast speed made Cousins ​​unable to react correctly.

He was so dizzy that he was so shaking that he didn't know where to start even after losing his position.

Farid wanted to assist in defense, and his athletic ability was impeccable, but Parker's throwing was aimed at a jumping man like him.

"Swish!"

4 to 2
