Chapter 197: Duncan's Jedi Strikes Back

Many smart Chinese fans have not turned on the TV until now, and the game between the Spurs and the Thunder may only be watched in the fourth quarter without making people drowsy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

78-74, they did not miscalculate, the scores of the two teams were anxious, and the suspense had to be left in the fourth quarter to be revealed.

96 to 95, 78 to 76, 104 to 103...... This was the last three meetings between the two teams last season, and it can be said that every time these two slow-paced and defensive-minded teams meet, they will have to play until the last minute to decide the winner.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy and Popovich both "tacitly" left the main players on the bench first. Let the substitutes play the first half of the game first, and if the score is still very anxious, then the main players of both sides will come on the court in the second half of the game and start a decisive battle.

Antonio. McDyes, a former All-Star who once made a name for himself, taught Morris a great lesson on the inside.

Morris has never been afraid of the kind of guy who goes head-to-head with him, but when he encounters an opponent with a skill stream like Anjie, he is a little overwhelmed.

And McDyce not only has outstanding internal skills, but he also has the old hotness and treacherous that Anjie does not have.

He scored in a variety of different ways to score in front of Morris, and even once caused a foul on Morris and got a three-point opportunity.

McDyes's return to the limelight allowed him to score nine points in the first quarter, and when Spurs fans looked at the big screen excitedly, they found that the score was still not pulled away.

McDyce single-handedly led the Spurs' second team to scoring, while the Thunder won the game against the Nicks. Collison and Morris worked hard to stabilize the situation.

McDice, who was entering the end of his career, struggled to withstand Morris's onslaught in the low post, while Matt. Bonner's sluggish footwork also allowed him to give Collison plenty of open shots.

The benches on both sides did a good job of resting the main players, scoring a lot of points on the pitch, but neither side could establish an advantage.

This is the Spurs and the Thunder, and under normal circumstances, neither of these two teams will drop the chain. Often the decisive blow is the final shot.

The Spurs have just won two in a row and they don't want their momentum to stop there, as they haven't had a great run of results so far and will have to fight until the end of the standings to challenge for the standings.

Although the Thunder have a good record, they have not tasted a winning streak for a long time.

Both teams are in close proximity to each other, both mentally and tactically.

The battle between the substitutes lasted a full seven minutes, and the physical strength of the main players on both sides basically returned to a good state.

Popovich didn't expect Van Gundy to calm down, it seems that if he doesn't take the GDP, Van Gundy will not let the Thunder three young people take the lead.

Popovich's old spicy Van Gundy knew very well that the only way to be safe was to follow in Popovich's footsteps if the enemy did not move.

Anyway, the score is still taking the lead alternately, so it is better to let the Thunder three rest more, so as not to lack their stamina at the last moment.

With 4:50 left before the end of 48 minutes of regular time, the game entered its second official timeout.

This official timeout will be a long time for everyone watching the game, because after that, Van Gundy and Popovich are bound to put their strongest lineup on the court for the final fight!

Fans are naturally looking forward to the last 4 minutes of the game, and sure enough, after the advertisement ended, the lineups of the two teams immediately changed blood!

On the Spurs' side, Duncan is still sitting in the fifth position, facing off against Anjie. As for the power forward, Popovich chose to keep the excellent McDyce on the court, so as not to be cold-shot by Ibaka again, and also have one more option on the offensive end. On the No. 3 position, Durant and the old Flyer Richard. Jefferson was paired up, and the shooting guard was Sefrosa who continued to defend Ginobili, who could explode at any moment. And the No. 1 position, it is still Parker and Westbrook who continue their matchup.

It can be said that except for the change in the position of the power forward, the other four players of both teams are starters.

Excited fans were expecting to see a Mars collide with the Earth, and as a result, the Spurs and Thunder were still unhurriedly fighting a positional battle.

"I don't know what to say about the game, I really don't want to watch it. What are they doing? What are they doing!? A small offensive surge can quickly establish a lead, but these two conservative coaches still let their players play positional battles one by one! Oh my God, do they still want to play overtime? "Charles. Barkley held his head in his hands in "pain", but he spoke the hearts of many fans.

Sephorosa makes a layup, Toney. Parker returned the color with a throw.

Anjie scored a layup under the basket, and Duncan tied it again with a small hook.

There are no fast breaks, no mistakes, and no transitions. Without conversion, there is no scoring climax.

Both sides defended very tightly, from the first quarter until now, and it has been so.

The game was played for a long time until once Tony. Parker's mid-range shot missed, and Anjie grabbed the offensive rebound and quickly transferred the ball to the outside.

Durant didn't hesitate to catch the ball and shoot, and the basketball bumped on the basket, but it still fell into the net.

After this ball, the score became 96-91, five points, which was already the largest point difference between the two sides in the fourth quarter!

The Frenchman seemed a little tired after missing the shot, so he made a rare mistake in the next round of passing.

Parker's pass to Ginobili was so casual that Sephorosa sprinted and intercepted the ball in the middle of the game.

Finally, in the fourth quarter, there was finally a mistake and a scene of switching offense.

However, Parker's tactical foul completely wiped out the possibility of a highlight-reel picture, and Sephorosa missed a layup after being violated and sent to the free-throw line.

With only 31 seconds left on the clock, if Sefrosa hits both free throws, it would essentially be the end of the game.

It's a pity that the Swiss gave the Spurs a chance on the first penalty.

"Sephorosa had such a bad hand today that he couldn't even score a free throw!"

97-91, Seforrosa, who made just one of two free throws, left the Spurs with a glimmer of hope.

Anjie found that Duncan seemed to be more and more active, and everyone usually looked for opportunities to play three-pointers at critical moments, but the Spurs were different, looking at Duncan's active running, he seemed to be the offensive endpoint of the Spurs in the last 30 seconds.

Unexpectedly, Duncan received the ball several times and pushed with his back to the ball and suddenly flicked his wrist, making George, who performed well in this game. Hill got an open three-pointer.

The whole tactic was Popovich for George. Hill arranged. Even the GDP has been used as a decoy for the sophomore guard.

George. Hill also lived up to Popovich's expectations of him, and the three-pointer hollowed into the net, and Anjie could only pick up the ball under the net.

The game went on and on, and the last 30 seconds felt like it was longer than the first three quarters.

Both Popovich and Van Gundy have left their timeouts until now, calling a timeout for almost every ball he hits.

With nine seconds left and the score was 100-96, the Thunder had a four-point advantage.

Even so, Van Gundy was restless. Other teams may be powerless in this situation, but Spurs are the most special one!

It's just a sound of iron, which makes the hearts of the fans at the ATT center cold for most of the time!

Tony. Parker's three-pointer was again missed, and both the Thunder and Spurs shot horribly low three-point percentages in this game, and that didn't change even at the end.

Just as the Thunder fans began to cheer, a guy wearing a black No. 21 jersey jumped up before An Jie and made up for the ball that popped out of the basket.

"Tim. Duncan! Crucial stoppage! Anjie conceded perhaps the most important rebound in the final moments! In order to prevent Duncan from receiving the ball, Anjie was sparing the front defense this time, but unexpectedly, this became Duncan's advantage to easily get stuck and compete for the rebounding position.

Duncan is still an expressionless poker face, this is always ignored No. 21, but he didn't admit defeat! 98-100, the Spurs are only two points apart!

An Jie used a few gorgeous steps to score and make himself the focus of the audience. But Duncan, he's always been like he's gone. You can always see him occasionally hitting mid-range shots and occasionally hook-to-hand hits. But Duncan's unpretentious way of playing makes it hard for fans to remember.

However, it was before he knew it, when Duncan's stats appeared at the bottom of the screen, he had already scored 22 points, the highest score on the Spurs team!

Tim. Duncan is the low-key, but most important part!

Jeff. Van Gundy decisively called a timeout and laid out the tactics of the final attack. The situation he least wanted to see still appeared.

"Again, the game between the Spurs and the Thunder is always the most boring and exciting." Kenny. Smith stared intently at the court, what happened next, it was possible!

Serge Ibaka sent the ball to the sideline, and the Spurs players were also very nervous. No matter which one of the three thunder is young, it must be the endpoint.

However, under the interference of the Spurs players, Anjie couldn't run the chance to catch the ball at all, and Ibaka's ball was naturally delayed.

The timeout has been used up, and the ball cannot be sent again, and it will be a timeout violation!

Ibaka made a high hanging pass in a panic and was ready for Durant to execute the final shot, but a back suddenly appeared in front of Durant, who was about to catch the ball and shoot, with two numbers "21" written on it.

"Duncan steals the throw-in! These last-minute mistakes by the Thunder are simply undeserved! They buried the victory with their own hands! "It's not the first time the Thunder have made a mistake in a crucial moment. Smith thinks the game is definitely going to go to overtime. But there are people on the Thunder team who don't think so.

It happened suddenly, and the Thunder's half was empty. Duncan made a steal and then quickly controlled the ball because he didn't have a teammate in front of him who could pass the ball.

In the last two seconds, Duncan was already inside the free throw line. He leaped high and prepared to continue the game with a one-on-one layup after a steal.

But behind Duncan, there has been a Thunder big man in a blue jersey who is in hot pursuit.

The fast-moving Duncan simply didn't have time to worry about behind him, and if he wasn't basically solid, his height might not have allowed him to advance to the opponent's half so quickly.

"Hey, you're young."

"It's a pity, it's all here."

"Duncan is really a pervert, the game he wants to lose is dragged into overtime by him."

Everyone believes that the magical Duncan has saved the game by himself, as an interior leader, he hit consecutive shots and steals a dragon in the backcourt at the last moment, can this not be called magical?

But there are people on the Thunder team who don't think so.

Tony. Parker raised his arms in celebration, while Ibaka held his head in his hands and looked at the cause of his mistake.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound at the end of the basketball court.

"Smack!"

This is...... The sound of the cap!? (To be continued.) )
