Chapter 114: Falling Short

After the start of the second half, Ruan Erniu gradually recovered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He worked harder than ever and broke up his long-established stupor, which the Hawks should at least be tied with the Spurs at this point, but that wasn't the case.

"You're hesitating, rookie!" Dumb held the ball with his back in the low post, and after saying this, a beautiful turn, Ruan Erniu's defense was not in place, but Dumb still hit the cricket with a difficult left hand and scored two points.

Even if he is blown up, this guy can play a few balls anytime and anywhere with his physical talent and basketball IQ.

Ruan Erniu was unhappy and dribbled directly through the half, passed to Johnson, and then asked for the ball in the low post.

Then he continued to hit Deng Dull with his back, and after successfully chiseling away his opponent, he made a split against Oberto!

Ruan Erniu hit this free throw and scored 3 points!

Popovich, who was on the sidelines, subconsciously wiped his face and said to his assistant coach Mike Budenhozer with concern: "Even if Kraft Nguyen is a rookie, his scoring ability is a little too strong." If the playoffs are only one game, I'm not completely sure that I will win this Hawks!"

Budenhozer smiled, "No problem, Greg, they can't play any new tricks!"

Parker once again dribbled the ball past Johnson Sr., the Hawks' defensive problems on point guard have not been solved since the beginning of the season, and such an obvious shortcoming, when encountering a master, it has naturally become the target of concentrated attacks.

Nguyen Er Niu pounced, Parker flicked the ball and sent the ball to Oberto in the low post, and the Argentine wiped the board in the low post.

Embarrassment attacks with the ball, and in the face of Bruce Bowen's entanglement, he struggles to find a solution.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"

The basket rejected the persistent player again and again.

Bowen, who is a defender, averages only 6 points per game, and today he scored 4 points before the third quarter was played, and he basically completed the task.

And what about Embarrassing Son, who averages 20+ per game? So far, he has only scored 8 points, and 2 of them have been scored by free throws.

The second point of attack was scrapped, and the Eagles could no longer find a consistent scoring point to replace. In the past, it was the time for Embarrassment to score and take over the game, but tonight he was at a loss.

Embarrassment knew that even if he gave Bowen a technical foul or even a malicious foul, he wouldn't be able to recover his grip immediately. So, he had to hand over the ball again.

Ruan Erniu's space was further compressed, and he had to go high to catch the ball.

This is not so much the overall defensive intensity of the Spurs, but the result of Erniu's teammates repeatedly missing shots, giving the Spurs too little defensive pressure.

It was the first time that Ruan Erniu had played so hard in a game, even against Celtic, he had never felt like this. The defending champions are really strong, and even now, as smart as Ruan Erniu, they have not been able to crack their defensive strategy.

Thankfully, though, the Spurs' shooting percentage in this quarter also dropped.

The young Eagles were stunned on the offensive end, but after establishing their footing, they themselves were effective on the defensive end.

Duncan and Ginobili were dumb at the same time in this quarter, and Parker also reduced the number of singles in order to distribute physical energy reasonably.

At 22:23, the Hawks recovered 1 point in the first quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, 83:73, the Hawks trailed by 10 points heading into the final quarter of the game.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Ruan Erniu on the bench suddenly figured out something, he looked at the technical statistics on the screen, and asked Larry Drew next to him: "I played three quarters, do you have any assists?"

Larry Drew went to the stats station to ask about it, and the result was, not 1 time!

Ruan Erniu suddenly realized, and then he understood why Mr. Da Jigong deliberately provoked him in the third section.

This seemingly loyal man really couldn't believe it, he just didn't want Erniu to notice that he had already lost contact with his teammates. This is the fundamental reason why the Eagles' overall offense has never improved.

Deng Dudu is not a good person!

Ruan Erniu put his arm around the shoulders and said, "We were deceived by the Spurs, they want to cut off the chemistry between us!"

Embarrassed Sen also immediately understood, patted Ruan Erniu's back and said, "Very good, the victory is not scored, and there is still a fight!"

The game restarted, and Embarrassment held the ball for half the court.

Ruan Erniu did not hesitate to mention the high post to cover for him, and after knocking Bowen to the floor, he received a pass from Embarrassment, faced Duncan's defense, and made a beautiful "washing machine turn" in the air (360-degree turn around people, the signature move of the peak melon), and then licked the basket successfully.

The following time is the time to enter the embarrassment.

Ruan Erniu is no longer obsessed with the inside line heads-up. He helped Embarrassment get rid of the damn Bowen again and again.

Whether it was facing a misplaced interior defender or a split second, he finally broke out in the crucial quarter, and he continued to close the score with a steady mid-range shot.

Popovich called two timeouts in a row, but couldn't stop the embarrassing scoring performance.

At 88:86, there were only 3 minutes left in the game.

There is no guarantee that the winner will be the winner, and Atalanta's home fans are thrilled, with 80 per cent of them standing on their feet as long as they are watching from the sidelines, fearing to miss the final decisive match.

"Defend, defend, defend, don't give the opponent a chance to breathe!" Woodson roared during the timeout.

"Defend, defend, defend, upper leg, xx's upper leg, kill them!" Popovich also roared.

Don't be surprised, in the basketball world of the United States, even if it is unsportsmanlike, some people will still do it in order to win. Of course, if all this happens in the Celestial Empire, be prepared to be reprimanded.

So the question is, is Bowen really born evil? Not necessarily!

Atlantans have finally found the key to breaking the game, but that doesn't mean the Spurs won't be able to fight back.

At the last moment, Manu Ginobili became the killer of the Spurs.

In the face of the joint blockade of Embarrassing Sen and Ruan Erniu, his serpentine breakthrough made another contribution, scoring 2 points in the crack, 90:86.

After breaking through with the help of a pick-and-roll, he distributed the ball to the 20-foot Ruan Erniu, who hit a mid-range shot, 90-88.

Tony Parker singles Anthony Johnson successfully, 92:88.

Ruan Erniu singled Deng Dull and passed to Marvin Williams, who hit 2 points in the open position to 92:90.

The Spurs ran the ball smoothly, Parker, Bowen, Duncan, and Ginobili completed the pass and received the ball successively, and finally Ginobili hit a 3-pointer in the face of the lunar eclipse that was not in place, 95:90.

It was a fatal blow, with only 26 seconds left in the game, and theoretically, the Eagles had little chance of winning in regulation time. Because, they can't just play an attack in 2 seconds.

With the help of blocking and pick-and-roll, he scored 2 points with a laborious layup. 95:92。

And there are only 15 seconds left.

The Eclipse then fouled Parker, and the Gauls hit both free throws to put the score at 97:92 with 13 seconds remaining.

Embarrassment Sen failed to make a 3-point shot, and after Ruan Erniu got into the rebound, he made a successful layup, with 7 seconds left at 97:94.

Anthony Johnson fouled Parker, who made 1 of 2 free throws to make 98-94 with five seconds left.

Embarrassment was strictly guarded, and the lunar eclipse had to make a hasty shot, and Ruan Erniu failed to grab this outrageous rebound.

Ginobili got the rebound at the far end and ran to the frontcourt, but the Hawks couldn't catch him in the end.

At 98:94, the Hawks fell at the last minute, ushering in their third loss of the season.
