196: Cornfield Fighters (4.6K Ask for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass!) )
Tim. Duncan may be in the midst of the most thrilling, critical and dark nine minutes of his career.
Because in the crucial nine minutes from the beginning of the fourth quarter to now, he has not scored a single goal in the field of action.
At this time, the Spurs and the Pacers, the two most sophisticated meat grinders, are in the final game, and they are both looking forward to tearing each other apart.
The Spurs were just three points away from tying the score, and Duncan stepped to the free-throw line.
It's fair to say that Duncan has never been more nervous when faced with free throws, never.
Because before that, Duncan had only made four of his nine free throws.
The fierce confrontation wore out Duncan's soft touch.
And now, what's even worse is ...... Duncan had no strength left.
He tried to adjust his breathing, but was unsuccessful.
"Come on Tim, you're going to get in, reckless! My No. 1 striker! ”
At this time, Wayne, who was in the prescribed position under the basket, clapped his hands and gave Duncan "encouragement".
This made Duncan, who was already exhausted, completely lose his shooting rhythm.
So the first penalty was missed!
"No, 4-of-10, Tim. Duncan's free throw percentage today was terrible! ”
Miller looked at Wayne and smiled slightly.
If you are cheap, you are invincible!
You're probably the first person in the league to trash talk to get Duncan to miss a free throw.
In the second penalty, Duncan was still trying to adjust his breathing.
This time, under the referee's warning, Wayne didn't speak again.
But......
"Bang!"
"Two missed free throws, Tim. Duncan actually missed two free throws! What's going on? Can anyone tell me what exactly happened! ”
Mike. Bryn's eyes widened, and the Stone Buddha put his hands to his mouth, his eyes terrified.
That's right, panic.
It was definitely the darkest moment of his career!
24 points and 11 rebounds, shooting 44% from the field, which is Duncan's current statistic.
Well, it seems pretty good. It's so much better than the previous ones.
But his performance in the past 9 minutes has made the data he got at this time worthless.
Including Mike. A lot of people, including Brin, want to know one thing - what happened to Duncan?
Why did he collapse almost entirely in the fourth quarter?
Injured?
Too anxious?
Actually, the answer is not as complicated as people think.
Duncan was simply drained.
Wayne's endless singles against Duncan in the second and third quarters allowed him to steal Duncan's last nine minutes.
It's a bag and a single attrition, and the Pacers really play one team against one person.
After grabbing the rebound, the Pacers quickly attacked.
At this point, it was less than two minutes before the end of the game.
As long as you hold on for a few more rounds, Tennoyama will be over.
End of Mt. Tenno...... It also means that the championship is basically stable!
At this point, Wayne continued to hold the ball from beyond the three-point line.
But this time, as soon as he got the ball, Bowen was rough and wrapped up with Mohammed.
Wayne held the basketball high, and he really wanted to elbow Bowen in the process of raising his hand.
But the last time he did so, Bowen exaggeratedly covered his nose and fell to the ground, looking innocent, winning the sympathy of the referee and letting Wayne carry the foul.
Now that the game is playing at a critical juncture, Wayne doesn't want to lose possession of the ball because of this kind of thing.
So he endured the fighting spirit on his body and passed the ball to Artai.
Taizi, who has already awarded herself the FMVP trophy, catches the ball and throws it, as confident as Jordan.
All the Pacers fans raised their arms in advance, however, the crucial mid-range shot ended in an iron strike.
"Good defense!" Popovich waved his arm, but the next second, his smile froze.
Because Wayne jumped high and got the ball into the frame before Duncan, who couldn't jump.
"Nice stopover, Wayne scored again! After this goal, the Spurs are 5 points behind! The situation is not good, the San Antonios have been pushed to the edge of the cliff!
Way's performance was so good that he won the head-to-head duel with Duncan many times today!
Believe me, this will definitely be the famous work of Wei's career! ”
After Wayne scored, he didn't look at Duncan, but rushed at a man who looked like Will. Smith's Spurs No. 5 hooked his finger.
Robert. Hori, it's good to have him.
When Tim. When Duncan was going through the darkest moment of his career, Horry, who scored only 3 points in the first three quarters, seemed to transform himself into an omnipotent Duncan in the fourth quarter.
He scored 10 points and hit back-to-back shots as the Spurs trailed.
Otherwise, the Spurs can't be just five points behind now.
Robert. Horry, a veritable killer of critical moments!
He was never a superstar, and his career-high season was just 12 points.
But he has one of the most top-notch talents – a big heart!
100% Finals winning rate, winning two rings in the first three seasons of his career.
Whether it's at the Mosaics or the Lakers, as long as you send him out in crunch time, he'll never let you down.
In Wayne's previous life, people even ridiculed Horry and Cole for ruling the 90s and early 21st century.
Because they swept twelve of the fourteen championships from '94 to '07!
Terrifying than Bird and Maggie during the black-and-white hegemony!
That's the truth. Black and white hegemony!
Some believe that Horry was nothing more than luck.
But in the fourth game of the Western Conference finals in the 01-02 season, when Horry successfully defeated the Kings, in the face of Divac's questioning, Horry answered like this.
"Luck refers to those who are unprepared, look at this ball, I do it in one go. It's definitely not luck because I've done it many times in my career. ”
Well, when it comes to key shots, Horry is always confident.
Because he has no pressure on this, anyway, if he wins, he counts, and if he loses, he is a superstar in the team.
He's just a little role player, a role player who can always kill games!
Such a mentality has made Horry repeatedly meritorious at critical moments.
Today, too, if it weren't for Horry, the Pacers would have been able to think about how to play Game 6.
This time offensively, Horry once again received a basketball from beyond the three-point line, but Wayne didn't leave him.
Horry tried to shake Wayne's center of gravity with a fake throw, but it didn't work.
Because of the last goal, Wayne was deceived by Horry's fake throw, which led to Miller, who was making up the defense, being blocked by Horry.
This time, Wayne won't be fooled again.
Horry had to hoist the ball to Duncan, and Wayne tirelessly squeezed it towards Duncan.
Duncan watched Wayne run and died.
Can you leave me alone!
Don't be obsessed with me anymore!
But no matter how reluctant Duncan is, Wayne should still be clipped.
So before Wayne could get the ball in the middle, he gave the ball to Horry again......
"Hey, this is a game of two people." Director Zhang said angrily, can you be as confident as Xiao Wei.
Horry caught the ball this time and threw it, but Wayne was faster than he thought!
This goal Wayne came close to covering Horry.
Although not covered, it is indeed a serious disturbance.
Still, basketball magically made its way to the net.
It's like in a 2k game, the kind of goal that is scored even after a foolish face.
Just one word: very fake!
Horry scored 13 points in a single quarter!
"Pretty, Robert. Horry hit another incredible shot! Wei almost covered the basketball, but Horry was still steady! 2 points, now the difference between the two sides is only 2 points! ”
Everyone's hearts are about to beat out, and this is definitely one of the most exciting battles in NBA history.
Despite the goal, Horry had a chill down his spine.
That number 99, doesn't he know what it means to be tired!?
I was so fast just now!
Horry, who never panics, panicked this time.
Because he didn't know if he would be able to complete the shot so calmly next time.
The game continues, the Pacers are still the same old routine, Wayne blocks and beats Duncan!
If it was said that he had beaten Duncan before, Wayne was just trying to consume him.
So now, Duncan is really a loophole.
He was so tired that his steps were as heavy as lead.
After Wayne bypassed the screen, he looked up at the frame and paused in his footsteps, as if he was about to shoot.
Duncan immediately raised his arm high to interfere, but in the next second, Wayne took a big step and broke through from Duncan's side.
Duncan knew he had to change his center of gravity to keep up, but his body didn't react.
"Byeon, Wei is really an unconventional interior player. He shook Duncan away with a Buddha feint and made a jump shot, and there it is! The Pacers still lead,"
Wayne scored again against Duncan, and there is no doubt that no one will question Wayne's eligibility for the FMVP now.
Because today, he really embarrassed the league's number one front!
Wayne and Horry, these two guys fought like gods in the fourth quarter, and neither could stop the other.
Ginobili also wanted to step up, so he opted for his own pull-up jumper after breaking through.
But helplessly, today he is not as godly as Horry.
The basketball slammed out of the frame, and Wayne immediately rushed back to the basket to grab the rebound.
Duncan, however, did what might have been a move that would atone for his sins.
I saw him jam Xiao Ao and use the last remaining strength to leap before Wayne arrived.
In the air, in a position almost like playing volleyball, the basketball flew outside the three-point line!
At this time, Robert. Horry was standing in that position, unmarked!
"Horry gets another second chance to attack, what will happen this time!?"
Horry jumped up to catch the basketball, and by the time he landed, Wayne was only two steps away from him.
"!" Horry cursed secretly, this guy is really a tireless defense monster!
You're everywhere!
It's annoying!
Horry hesitated, if he remembered correctly, it was the first time he hesitated at a critical moment.
Wayne's defensive deterrence has put a lot of psychological pressure on Horry.
In the end, Horry still voted, and he had no choice at all.
But because he hesitated for a few tenths of a second, he missed the best shot.
This ball, he threw it in a hurry under Wayne's interference, and the shooting action was not finished.
Robert. The legend of Horry, broken by Wayne!
"Bang!"
"No, Robert. Horry didn't score the crucial goal! San Antonio Spurs, they almost lost their last chance! ”
O'Neal Jr. rushed to grab the rebound, and the Pacers called a timeout.
Duncan covered his head with both hands, and although Horry's performance was amazing enough, he still had a hard time accepting the fact that Horry had just missed a shot.
And just as the equally lost Horry was about to leave the game, Wayne shook his finger in front of him.
"Pass me, if you don't dare to vote, pass me! Indianapolis has only one king of key balls, me. ”
"This ......" Horrimon circled.
This Nima, what kind of psychological quality, don't forget to pretend to beep at this time!
You Larry. Bird II, you!
Depend on!
However, it did affect Horry's mentality.
He's not so confident anymore.
'We still have a chance, so we have to defend against their next attack. It's just 5 points behind, it's not fatal! "Popovich is still trying to give the players a beating.
But everyone really couldn't get excited.
Especially Duncan.
He felt like every muscle in his body was no longer his own.
His darkest hour is not over yet.
After returning from the timeout, Wayne was ready to execute the game-winning shot.
If this attack is achieved, the Spurs' confidence will also be shattered, and the game will be over.
This time Wayne didn't hold the ball, but Payton controlled the ball for time outside the three-point line.
When there were only 5 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, Wayne suddenly came out of the way, and Payton also tacitly passed the ball over.
However......
Bruce. Bowen burst out and disrupted Payton's pass to Wayne, who he had expected the Pacers to work so well with!
Bowen also wants to prove that it's not just those shady tricks that he can defend well!
Although Bowen didn't snatch the basketball directly, the ball was redirected and hit Wayne's thigh and bounced out of bounds!
See this situation near Reggie on the bottom line. Miller started suddenly, and the 40-year-old pounced and fished the ball back in reckless action.
In the next second, Miller's head slammed into the technical table, and blood poured out.
There are no championships in his career so far, only three threes.
Miller wasn't the best player of his era, but why was he always respected and mentioned?
Because he's a true fighter!
Under the intensity of the defense of the '90s, the emaciated Miller remained fearless.
"I don't want people to think that Jordan and I are rivals, for me, rivals mean that we are equal.
But I'm not the same as Jordan, he's so much better than me, and I don't have the talent he has.
But I just love playing against him, and I know a lot of players will bow to Jordan, but I definitely won't!
Maybe I should bow to him, but I wasn't born like that. ”
This is what Miller once said when talking about Jordan, and this is the psychological portrayal of a fighter.
He is not afraid of "God", will he be afraid of being hit on the head?
Therefore, this time to save the ball, Miller did not hesitate at all, even if it was a fraction of a second!
After the ball was saved, Wayne got the ball firmly one step from beyond the three-point line.
Then, in the midst of Horry's scrambling interference, he calmly made a move.
"It's over, Reggie!" Wayne muttered quietly.
"Brush!"
"Beep~~~"
"Boom!"
Wayne pressed the whistle from a long distance, and his hand fell with a knife, and the scene seemed to have an earthquake!
When Horry has also faded his magical aura, Wayne, the strongest first-year in the 21st century, received a pass from the 90s fighter and still hit the shot, completing the fatal blow!
He continued his crazy show!
Wayne was right, in Indianapolis, there is only one king of key balls!
Wayne turned to celebrate with Miller, only to see the guy crawl up with a bloody face.
Miller, whose head hit the corner of the tech table, made a big opening on his left eyebrow.
But his expression remained calm, and he didn't forget to give Wayne a thumbs up.
"You led us to victory, boy."
"Your blood will not be shed in vain, Reggie. The fifth game is ours, the overall winner...... It's ours! Wayne walked up and punched Miller.
It's like the handover of two generations of fighters!
Popovich looked at the red light on the rebound, looked at the 8-point difference, suddenly felt weak in his legs, and fell to the bench.
Such a tenacious opponent...... He really met it for the first time.
They always hold on to the end, even if they are embarrassed, even if their heads are bleeding.
In Tianwang Mountain, no one can defeat Wei Shen.
Even if it's Tim. Duncan, even if it's Robert. Horry ......
A little more than a minute later, the game was over.
Robert. Horry scored 13 points in the first quarter and shot 3-of-4 from three-point range. The only one who threw away was the one who was terrified by Wayne.
Wayne scored 34 points and scored most of them...... It's all in Tim. Duncan's head!
The gold content can be said to be very high.
101-94, the Pacers stubbornly grinded the Spurs to death in Game 5!
Miller's blood-stained arena and Wayne's stub clearance have become eternal classics on Tianwang Mountain!
At the end of the game, Wayne pointed to the fans with the trophy on the wooden floor.
The ownership of the championship is already quite clear......
