LeBron James, your house got robbed.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout, disrupting the Spurs' comeback momentum, but made no tactical changes.

Chen Shuo watched Tyronn Lue frantically giving the players pep talks.

During the possessions where the Spurs were closing the gap, the Cavaliers maintained their original tactics.

Popovich couldn't defend the pick-and-roll by the three players on the strong side, so he switched to break the play and turned the game into a one-on-one duel.

Paul's success rate wasn't low, but the Spurs suddenly picked up the pace.

Ginobili was even more unreasonable. Given the Cavaliers' interior depth, he managed to penetrate it time and time again, which was simply superhuman.

They don't talk to you about tactics at all; they just seize any opening and rush in carrying explosives.

From an offensive and defensive perspective, it was a completely illogical choice, but it still managed to produce the desired effect.

Pause back.

Paul started running down the clock, and only took a shot after a pick-and-roll with 12 seconds left, going one-on-one against Duncan.

The basketball bounced off the rim.

After Duncan grabbed the rebound, he made a long pass to the battered Ginobili.

Thompson held his position firmly this time, but was suddenly blocked. Thompson used all his strength to push past Duncan's screen, and all that could be seen was Ginobili's desperate shot.

93: 90.

The shot was taken after a simple screen, without any complicated tactics, but it was quite effective.

Paul continued to run the clock, keeping it down until there were 30 seconds left in the game.

With the help of Chandler's screen, Paul drove all the way through Duncan's position, then suddenly stopped and jumped to shoot.

95: 90.

The Quicken Loans Center erupted in a deafening roar, which subsided in just 5 seconds as Ginobili, holding off Thompson, scored a 3+1 play from the outside.

At this point, three Spurs players were still behind the center line, and Thompson was not out of position at all.

Chen Shuo looked up at the big screen.

In the replay, as Ginobili drove forward, Thompson was seen taking quick steps backward, dribbling behind his back to his right hand, and continuing his downward drive. Thompson blocked Ginobili's drive to the baseline in time.

Just then, Ginobili reversed his forward momentum, took a big step back with his right foot to stand outside the three-point line, and then, as he pulled his left foot back, completed the three-point shot.

Ginobili's classic step-back jumper, along with his deceptive fakes and behind-the-back dribbles.

When Chen Shuo's gaze returned to the court, Ginobili had already completed the additional free throw.

The clock clearly showed that there were 25 seconds left.

That's enough for the Cavaliers to complete a full offensive play.

Paul continued to run down the clock, only initiating a pick-and-roll with Chandler in the final 6 seconds.

Parker was completely blocked by Chandler's solid build.

After getting rid of his opponent, Paul made his signature serpentine drive, pulled the ball to the free-throw line, faked a shot to trick Duncan into moving up, and then accelerated into the paint before rising up for a floater.

In an instant, the 20,000 fans fell silent, their eyes fixed on the sliding orange-red ball, which collided with the backboard and fell into the net at a perfect angle.

A huge cheer erupted from the quick loan center.

The Spurs quickly inbounded the ball, and Ginobili dribbled to the frontcourt within 3 seconds and launched a three-pointer.

It wasn't until the ball grazed the rim that Chen Shuo realized he could breathe.

A cold sweat broke out on my back.

In fact, the moment he released the ball, Chen Shuo's experience told him that it was off target, but his physical senses kept him on edge.

Ginobili made almost every illogical choice in the last four minutes, but that didn't stop the Spurs from nearly pulling off a comeback.

You can't predict his every shot.

That was a decision he made instinctively based on seizing a fleeting moment.

It may be right, or it may be wrong.

In the first half and even the first three quarters, Ginobili made only 1 of 8 shots and committed 4 turnovers, playing terribly.

In the final four minutes of the fourth quarter, Ginobili scored 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting, along with an assist and a block, almost single-handedly changing the course of the game.

Chen Shuo kept replaying each goal in his mind.

He drove past Garnett with a Euro step and then made a layup. After getting past Garnett, he faced Chandler and scored a 2+1. He was double-teamed and forced Paul to pass the ball, then blocked his shot and slammed it home on a fast break. He also made a three-pointer after a screen. On the fast break, he faked a drive and then dribbled behind his back before stepping back for a three-pointer and scored a 3+1.

Most of these players are not part of the Spurs' tactical system.

Ginubili plays as if he's completely driven by passion, or even as if he's creating something entirely out of the ordinary; a more accurate description would be his fearless, relentless charge.

For some reason, Chen Shuo suddenly remembered the scene of Ginobili catching a bat.

Argentine striker possesses a creativity that defies description.

Despite the Cavaliers' victory, Chen Shuo kept repeating one sentence to himself:

"Being reasonable means being predicted."

After the match, Chen Shuo stayed alone in his office, his thoughts wandering, carefully reviewing his team-building strategy.

Chen Shuo has always been deeply influenced by the philosophy of pursuing rationality in modern basketball.

However, the Spurs, as a representative of rational and team basketball, have the most unpredictable players in NBA history.

"Knock knock—"

Chen Shuo looked up and saw Grant outside, then gestured for him to come in.

"JR Smith has decided to sign with the Heat."

Another unpredictable scalpel.

"What about the Knicks? Can't they offer a mid-level exception?"

Grant helplessly shrugged and said:

"Last night, Pat Riley took Mourning and Haslem to JR's residence."

"News of the signing between the two parties came out today."

"JR chose a minimum salary instead of a middle-class exception."

Chen Shuo wasn't in a hurry about this.

Even with the addition of JR Smith, he is confident in his ability to handle the Heat, since the Cavaliers' team-building strategy is entirely aimed at countering the Heat.

Paul's inclusion in the lineup is not only due to his status as the biggest fish of the summer, but more importantly, to his historically top-tier ability to control the tempo and manage turnovers.

This will allow the team to limit the Heat's counterattacks after double-teaming and stealing the ball at the top of the key.

The gorilla-hunting formation of Chandler, Garnett, and Leonard was entirely designed for James.

After removing the two scoring strategies that the Heat relied on most, all that's left is Wade's one-on-one play, which is a threat that the Cavaliers can handle.

As long as the league doesn't suddenly introduce vertical rule changes during the playoffs, Chen Shuo is confident he can help Paul shed his infamous "58-shot" reputation.

The Cavaliers should really be paying attention to the Spurs.

After acquiring Ray Allen, the Spurs' strength increased rapidly. In fact, in terms of their fundamentals, they are no worse than the Cavaliers, but they still need time to gel.

In addition, as Kerr said, tactics are easy to counter in a seven-game series.

In the fourth quarter, Popovich used a switch defense to forcefully dismantle the offense of the three players on the strong side, although the price he paid was that his inside players were directly exposed to Paul's "army-like" defense.

But at least it shows that the Spurs have a way to deal with it.

Chen Shuo was genuinely a little unsure about relying on Paul's one-on-one playoff performance.

Moreover, there was an unpredictable Argentine sword on the other side, lurking in the darkness, quietly waiting for the right moment to strike and kill.
