West
Match number 4
MEMPHIS - SAN ANTONIO - 86:93 (14:24, 24:20, 28:28, 20:21)
May 8 . Memphis. FedEx Forum. 18,119 spectators.
From the Western finals were waiting to really hot fight.
A powerful front line and one of the best defenses in the league of the "Grizzlies" against an experienced team and well established mechanism under the brand name "Sperz."
In addition, both teams have been on the move - "Memphis" won the last 4 quarterfinal match, "San Antonio" - 3 out of 4. But in the internal dispute was that the application "Spurs" on the finale far more compelling. As might be expected, the main creators of success was Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. Both are already hard at mastering "paternal age", but this year they seem paradoxical young. Duncan and all "promoted" to the first five NBA symbolic end of the season, and Parker won the hit in the second. In the semifinals against the "bears" the 37-year-old, forward, and also is not shy of the post, was the key to success in overtime games number 2 and number 3. But the laurels of victory over the main creator of "Memphis" belong, perhaps, the Frenchman. The guard, who before a series of hit 31 years old, tirelessly clocked his team's attack, leaving no stone unturned in the best defense of the regular season. In three of the four meetings, including the last, "the Spurs' implemented more than 50 percent of the shots from the game. And this is largely the merit of Parker, whom Lionel Hollins was not able to find justice. In the second match was used dual custody - the Frenchman handed out 18 assists. In accounting duel priority Conley at draw dvoechki at "San Antonio" was not to his counterpart get under the ring, bypassing the barrier "from below." The result? Efficient 37 points and more than 70 percent hit. For a series of counts in Parker averaged 24.5 points, 9.5 assists and 2.0 steals. Another argument in the debate with those who are unjustly ignored Tony, accounting ratings of the best playmakers in the world.
But the leader of the "Memphis" - representative of his vaunted front line - let us down. Zach Randolph, the first two rounds are gaining 19.7 points per game, in opposition to the "San Antonio" was reduced to 11 points. Duncan for a couple with splitter completely neutralized the big man from Tennessee, allowing to realize only indecently low 30.2 percent field goal. As a result, a three-second zone where the projected "Grizzlies" were to seek his fortune, hosted wards Gregg Popovich.Case "bears" on the "perimeter" is hardly going fun. Stable accuracy from beyond the arc for the series can boast only Quincy Pondexter, who can safely write for his team ended the playoffs his asset. In four games, he scored 12 three-pointers, while all of its partners sdyuzhili only 10. The fourth meeting of the series was held on the script, copies the plot of the previous two matches. Last leadership owners dated the 5th minute of the starting quarter, after which they firmly established themselves in the role of catch-up. Yes, hang out the white flag, "Memphis" and thought - in the final quarter, he twice was selected to the "San Antonio" to a distance of three points, but each time I got a slap in the face to cool the ardor of Parker as a goal scored. However, after the score 3-0 in the series hardly anyone was waiting for the other finalists from the West. "Spurs" have become the 108th team in NBA history that drove round in his favor after a similar start. Be the first to hit back from 0-3, "Grizzlies" failed.
