Chapter 237: The Spurs are still as powerful as ever despite the danger behind the scenes!
After defeating the Spurs, the Cavaliers caught up with the Warriors, and the two teams now have the same winning percentage.

It's the Warriors' turn to "play their cards" again.

The Warriors will face the Spurs at home on a back-to-back day, while the Cavaliers will rest for two days.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for the Warriors.

The advantage is that they will play against the Spurs back-to-back, but the disadvantage is that the Spurs are a strong team in the Western Conference, have been in good form recently, and only narrowly lost to the Cavaliers in the last game.

The Cavaliers players were also paying attention to this game, watching the fight from a distance.

The Warriors cannot lose this game because they only have one more win than the Spurs. If they lose, the Spurs will become first in the Western Conference.

8:30 p.m., Oracle Arena in Golden State.

Both sides sent out their full main lineups.

The Warriors players were full of energy and had hot hands, and they had a dream start in the first quarter.

After playing for more than 5 minutes, the score came to 12:4.
Popovich made adjustments, strengthened the perimeter defense, and stabilized the situation.

After the first quarter, the score was 33:29, with the Warriors leading.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs' strong bench lineup came into play.

Although the Warriors' substitutes are also very good, they are not as good as the Spurs in terms of outside shooting.

In addition, they are not as good as the Spurs in perimeter defense.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Spurs took the lead again.

Mark Jackson had no choice but to call a timeout and replace the main players.

However, the Splash Brothers' touch suddenly cooled and they missed shots frequently.

On the other hand, Ginobili, Danny Green, and even Leonard of the Spurs opened fire.

The tiring period of back-to-back games has passed and the touch has returned!

The Warriors are having a hard time playing, they are falling behind in the score, and the gap is slowly widening.

The Spurs' performance stunned fans all over the world.

The Spurs, who looked old, actually looked rejuvenated.

The playing style is advanced, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and is more flexible in tactics.

They have three-pointers, but they don't rely on them. This is the difference between the Spurs and the Warriors.

The Warriors have the Splash Brothers, and they do have strong firepower, but this also makes the whole team more dependent on the Splash Brothers, and the offense of others is suppressed.

The Spurs' defense was too targeted, making it difficult for the Warriors.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors' three-point rush that the home fans expected did not come.

The Spurs launched a wave of attacks.

After more than six minutes of the third quarter, the Spurs were already leading by 6 points.

If the Warriors don't get angry again, they will really be finished.

At this time, Wang Yan was at home hugging Liu Yifei and watching the game.

His hands were roaming all over her body, but his eyes were fixed on the TV.

Liu Yifei was a little angry, but she knew that Wang Yan was busy watching the game, so she could only endure it temporarily, and everything would have to wait until the game was over.

Curry is Curry. Although his hands have been cold in the past period of time, he will recover eventually.

In the last three minutes of the third quarter, Curry suddenly broke out.

Various unreasonable three-pointers were made in succession, quickly narrowing the score difference to single digits.

Thompson also made two three-pointers.

After three quarters, the Warriors were only 2 points behind.

It's really a sudden change.

Popovich was stunned on the sidelines. How could they catch up so quickly?
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs took the upper hand again, but Mark Jackson replaced Thompson early.

Thompson is also very scary after his touch gets back on track.

He led the substitutes to a close game with the Spurs.

It seems that these two teams will fight until the last minute.

Liu Yifei felt her body getting hot, she looked up at Wang Yan and found that Wang Yan was watching intently.

So she had an idea, and with a sly smile on her face, she began to play with Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was concerned about the fierce competition, so he was unmoved, but his body was very honest. . . .

In the final stage of the fourth quarter, both sides sent out their strongest lineups.

Curry returned to the game, and his touch was not as hot as in the third quarter, but he was still able to output intermittently.

The Spurs used various three-point tactics, combining inside and outside, playing smoothly and with clear thinking.

The final moments were exciting, with Curry and Ginobili becoming the key figures in deciding the outcome.

With more than 20 seconds left in the game, Curry rushed to the right baseline and scored a high rebound, extending the lead to 3 points.

But Ginobili turned around and assisted Danny Green to tie the score.

There are 4.7 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors launched an offensive tactic, but unfortunately, the ball finally came into Thompson's hands, and he shot hastily and missed.

Unexpectedly, the two teams ended up in a tie!
. . . .

Liu Yifei was furious.

I was finally looking forward to the game being over, but there was overtime.

She had no choice but to play with Wang Yan even harder, but Wang Yan remained calm and continued to watch the game.

In overtime, the Spurs showed amazing resilience back to back.

Finally, relying on a key frontcourt rebound from Duncan, the team forced a second attack and scored 2+1, thus establishing the victory.

It was still the veteran powerhouse Spurs who had the last laugh.

As a result, the Spurs became the first in the Western Conference.

The Cavaliers have one game left, and they will challenge the Mavericks away.

The Warriors' last game is against the Pacers, and the Spurs have one more game at home against the Nuggets.

Now the three teams are entangled.

If all three win, the Cavaliers and Spurs will have the same points, but the Cavaliers defeated the Spurs twice in the regular season, so the Cavaliers will have home-court advantage.

If the Warriors win and the Spurs lose, the Warriors will still be first in the Western Conference and make it to the finals, and the Cavaliers will still have the home-court advantage.

The Mavericks are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference, but only one win more than the ninth-placed Suns.

So the Mavericks can't lose.

Over the years, it is rare that the last few games of the regular season are so intense.

In the first half of the game, the Mavericks played extremely tough.

Under the leadership of Wang Yan, the Cavaliers played very smartly, avoiding unnecessary confrontations and trying to use flexible and changeable tactics to keep the score close.

Judging from the scene, the home Mavericks were in high spirits and played very excitingly.

But in reality, the score was very close.

It was not until the second half of the third quarter that Wang Yan and Irving suddenly exerted their strength!
The two transformed into the "Wave Brothers" and started shooting three-pointers crazily.

There is no need to talk about Wang Yan. His physical talent is there, so it is difficult to block him.

Especially in front of Nowitzki, Wang Yan used the "one-legged standing" shooting method more than once.

This was very embarrassing for the driver.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were leading by 14 points.

The Mavericks home fans were a little panicked, and owner Mark Cuban's face was even more livid.

He will be really upset if he doesn't make the playoffs this year.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks put two main players on the field, hoping to catch up with a few points.

But Wang Yan appeared again.

He came on the field early mainly because he was worried about his teammates getting injured.

Wang Yan himself has the help of the system and does not have to worry about injuries at all, but his teammates cannot.

The playoffs are about to begin, and it would be a big loss if teammates get injured.

With Wang Yan in charge, the Mavericks' pursuit of points could only end in failure.

With more than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score difference had reached 22 points.

The Mavericks head coach announced his surrender and replaced the main players.
