June 18. Miami. American Airlines Arena. 19,900 spectators.
In the series: 3-3 (88:92, 103:84, 77:113, 109:93, 104:114)
Attempts to analysts on the eve of the sixth game boiled down to one thing: LeBron James to be brought in front of home fans in all its glory, if hoping to extend the series to seven games. However, the hero of the debut of the segment was Tim Duncan, demonstrated his wealth of attacking arsenal and implemented all 8 of his first shots. By half-time on a 37-year-old veteran scored as many as 25 points, the same total had other "Spurs", with Duncan for such a result it took less than 10 attempts. And James had to face a viscous and unpleasant protection - this time by Diao, which Popovich "unleashed" on the current MVP back in the starting quarter.
The ending of the first half left for the "Spurs": guests tuned up the pace and made a dash - 17:4 before going to the locker room. If it were not for Chalmers 10 points in the first 12-minute, the advantage of "San Antonio" after two quarters could be much more significant. "Spurs" in this case, as in the fifth match, attacked with stunning accuracy, scoring 58% of their shots. The fruits brought that, unlike the "Miami" Texans acted in many three-second zone, which helped a lot of Duncan's game. Parker at the same time lost on the court after the head coach, "Hit" James pointed it at him - against his superior in size striker, the Frenchman was ineffective.
Ginobili also was far from the phenomenal form that he showed on Sunday. By the middle of the third quarter to his credit was still no points, and the defense of the "hit" the Argentine forced to make five losses. Despite this, the guests were more aggressive after the break. After Miller cut the gap "Miami" to a minimum, "San Antonio" pulled 11:0, securing a double-digit advantage to the beginning of the fourth 12-minute - 75:65. By this point in the asset Duncan has flaunted 30 points and 14 rebounds.
Before the start of the final quarter of head coach Eric hosts Spolstra put his team before the fact: "In order to win back the prevailing backlog, with the remaining time we have to show your best defense." And "Miami" is largely succeeded. A team led by LeBron came to the floor of supercharged and just 1.5 minutes head start "Spurs" was reduced to four points after Miller's long-range shot, which he played half the barefoot ... When "-4" in the hall for the first time in a long time there was kind of animation and excitement. And when James for 10 seconds, the shotom stopped faithful polukryuk Duncan, and then scored 2 points early in the attack, the stands began to boil with a bang, as the equalizer - 82:82.
At a crucial segment of the "hit", it would seem, took control of the situation: 2 minutes before the end of normal time they were 3 points and super fine play in defense, completely isolating the ball from Duncan. Exactly at this point, the word has finally taken Parker. First, it ignores the resistance of James flashed a ring, "Miami" a long shot, but after the attack took advantage of the fact that he defended himself against Chalmers and stuffing that into the three-second, sent the ball into the basket. Already "2" of the guests!
Now waiting for heroism from the "Miami." The fate of the "hit" naturally fell into the hands of James, but he lost the ball twice, climbing into the thick of the players, "Spurs" and allowed the opponent to three of the four free throws to increase their advantage to "5". Such a handicap of 28 seconds before the end of may discourage many. But it is not the reigning champions!
Further attempts to James did not even hooked handles, but the fight for the ball won Miller, who immediately otpasoval LeBron under repeated throw from behind the arc - to miss the mark twice King does not allow it. Leonard made a gift the hosts, realizing only one penalty from two, and "Miami" got the ball with 20 seconds to finish, giving 3 points.
Once again, the fate of the decisive episode in the hands of James, and again it did not hit a three-pointer in the basket. But right there was Bosh who has mastered the selection and without hesitation to share the ball with Allen. He hit the target from behind the arc, despite the exposed hand Parker. Five seconds left to upset the balance, "San Antonio" is not enough - Overtime! Mad rush, "Miami", the ringleader of which, of course, made LeBron has ended, the same success. A king during the fourth quarter chalked up 16 points - 2 more than the previous three. It is interesting that the transformation of 4-times MVP has coincided with the moment in which he lost his unwavering headband.
In the extra five-minute was a real man's game, which dilute the whistle is not in a hurry. Decisive, in fact, was hit with an average distance of the King, after which "hit" for 1.43 to come out ahead at the end point - 101:100. In the remainder of the "Spurs" had a couple of chances to excel, but the defense, "Miami" the most complicated take his ring and in the end it does not make it possible. The last two shots, "San Antonio" blocked Bosh and James in the end of the meeting time to make a triple-double (10 rebounds, 11 assists).
Now the basketball world is waiting for a treat in the form of a playoff between the two contenders for the title. June 21 at 5 am Moscow time, the "hit" will hike the championship for the second row, and "Spurs" will try to bring in their favor in five of the final five.
