Chapter 398: The Moment of Faith Collapse!
With two minutes left before the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Spurs by 13 points, 29-16!
Popovich's strategy, all failed!
Whether it was Ginobili playing the starting game to maintain the balance of power, or Ginobili leading the team to chase points in the substitute period, it didn't work!
There is only one reason why it didn't work, Sun Hao!
After hitting the iron continuously in the opening game, Sun Hao regained his touch in the second half of the quarter, and shot 6 three-pointers in a single quarter to tie the historical record!
Enter G6, what do you do to fight me!
This is the most authentic voice that a fan wants to shout for Sun Hao at this time.
Popovich and the Spurs are called "lucky.boys", and they don't know how many times they have encountered G6 Sun.
The word bitter master lives up to its name.
……
In an apartment in Oakland, Antoine Walker, who has finished his season and became a free agent, watched the live broadcast and drank beer to cheer for Sun Hao.
Five years have passed, and he is no longer the "Green Army Twin Stars" full of infinite futures, but a problem player in the eyes of many teams.
Even Pierce, who watched the game with him at the beginning, is no longer by his side.
He could only watch the TV in front of him alone, and even the cheers could only be heard by himself.
A lot has changed in five years, but he's still obsessed with three points!
Although he was powerless to prove it, Sun Hao in front of him was like a person who pinned his ideals.
On the court at this point, Ginoby scored a beautiful 2 points with a serpentine breakaway.
It's the first time since Iverson that a player has used a breakthrough to this extent.
Sun Hao advanced with the ball again, and just after half time, the Spurs went directly to the double bag!
And Barry, who came up in the bag, has a strong defensive tendency, just don't want to give him another three points.
Sun Hao didn't make another three points.
Of course, it would be good to be able to break the record, but what he wants more is to win the game in front of him and get close to the Western Finals!
He grabbed the position and accelerated straight through the bag!
The first step is a master, and in the past few years, he has been upgraded to the gold level!
And after hitting consecutive three-pointers, this choice was unexpected, and neither Bowen nor Parker had time to react.
Sun Hao burst into the inside line, and Mohammed made up for it.
Sun Hao gave Anderson a fake pass, and when Mohammed turned in the direction of the ball, Sun Hao's fake fax had already swept past him.
"Bang!"
didn't give Mohammed a chance to return to the defensive position, Sun Hao went in bald, it was a violent dunk!
31 to 18!
The Lakers still maintain a 13-point lead!
There is less than 1 minute left until the end of this section.
The Spurs fans at the scene were agitated.
In the past few games, Ginobili can be arguably the strongest person in the series, overshadowing Sun Hao and O'Neal.
But tonight, on the stage of G6, Sun Hao is the most dazzling one!
Walker is also applauding Sun Hao's dunk, but it is still a pity.
You may not believe it, Walker, as the holder of the NBA's single-quarter three-point record, is now looking forward to the most Sun Hao breaking his record!
It sounds incredible, but it makes sense, because Walker wants to prove the power of the three-point shot in basketball!
Just looking at the current Spurs' defensive strategy, it is difficult for Sun Hao to score another three points.
Ginobili, burst to Barry in the bottom corner, and Barry made a three-point shot...... Also enter!
It was hard to play like Horry did last year, but Barry played at a super level tonight!
Sun Hao, the front court continues to be trapped!
He still chose to break through!
Unlike the last game, the last game was due to the Spurs' extreme defensive style and Horry's excellent touch, so he chose to pass the ball more.
But tonight, at this point in time, the Lakers need him to keep scoring!
It was another accelerated skimming, but Mohammed grabbed the ball in advance and stood in a defensive position, and it was not so easy for Sun Hao to get inside.
Sun Hao threw the ball directly into the air.
Anderson took to the air, grabbed the ball and slammed it into the basket.
"Bang!"
The City of Empty Connections!
33 to 21!
In the first quarter, there were only 28 seconds left.
Ginobili held the ball on the outside and pressed for a burst of time.
His serpentine form was beautiful, but just as he dodged Anderson's move, a dark shadow passed over him.
"Bang!"
In the exclamation of the fans at the scene, Sun Hao rushed from the outside to the inside to make up for the defense, and rewarded Ginobili with a pegboard hat!
Serpentine breakout frontal is difficult to prevent, but not impossible to prevent!
Sun Hao has been observing Ginobili's breakthrough habits, coupled with his experience of fighting against Ginobili many times before, he finally seized an opportunity!
Besides, how can the little emperor not have a nailboard hat!
Moreover, after Sun Hao's block, he was quick to grab the defensive rebound!
There are only 4 seconds left.
Ginobili wanted to break the ball back and was dodged by Sun Hao!
Muhammad wanted to grab the ball, but Sun Hao dodged it with a behind-the-back dribble.
After dodging all the defenders and creating a space for himself, Sun Hao quickly dribbled two steps, and then threw the ball out at the three-point line in the backcourt!
Shot, whistle blows!
Really snipe!
This kind of ball is not uncommon in the NBA, and the time is almost up to throw the ball casually, which is basically a form and a bet on luck.
But!
Because it was Sun Hao who played the ball, everyone's eyes were on the spinning basketball.
And at the same time, the thoughts that popped into their minds were: this ball...... Won't go in, right?
But in the next second, their thinking became: This ball, to score!
Because of this ball, the trajectory is too positive!
Some fans have even figured out where the parabola will fall through physics formulas, which is exactly the direction of the basket!
"Huh!"
It turns out that their physics is really good!
"Yay! baby! That's it! That's it! ”
At this time, in the apartment in Auckland, Walker had already jumped up and screamed and cheered.
After Sun Hao's super super and ultra-long three-point shot, he broke his NBA single-quarter three-point record!
A new playoff NBA single-quarter three-point record was born!
After setting the NBA single-quarter scoring record in the regular season, Sun Hao broke an incredible record!
With the defensive intensity of the playoffs, this record is no less difficult than a single-quarter scoring record!
The Lakers' bench was boiling, and O'Neal rushed up again and hugged Sun Hao into his arms.
“my.boy!”
And immediately after, O'Neill couldn't help but shout loudly.
“??”
Sun Hao looked confused.
This title in history was set specifically for McGee after O'Neal retired!
Because McGee has a low ball quotient, there are always some absurd scenes in the game!
my.boy means child, or silly child!
However, just like the breadth and depth of Chinese, the same word in English can have many meanings.
What O'Neill is saying here is obviously not the same as what he said about McGee in history.
The meaning of this is obviously happiness and praise!
Because Sun Hao's performance is excellent, and he is on the same team as him! He is proud and proud!
Yes, 7 three-pointers in a single quarter and 25 points in a single quarter in the playoffs!
Such a performance, well, Kobe Bryant has never played!
In O'Neill's opinion, this is more important than anything else!
Phil Jackson also laughed again not far away as Grandpa KFC.
Sun Hao's performance in this section was definitely strategic.
In the past games, the Lakers basically took the lead at the beginning, and the bench was chased back by the Spurs.
But now the first quarter is over, and the score on the court is 36-21!
The Lakers led the Spurs by as many as 15 points in a single quarter!
Let's not say that 15 points is a hurdle in the NBA game, let's just say that Popovich's tactical deployment has been completely disrupted.
The current situation is that Ginobili is about the same physical exertion, and the Spurs are at an absolute disadvantage.
Even Popovich didn't know what to do to continue adjusting.
Phil Jackson profoundly implemented the idea of "taking advantage of your illness to kill you", and replaced O'Neal at the beginning of the second quarter when Sun Hao came off the break!
Popovich, a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
Phil Jackson and Nelson Sr. are nothing like that.
Old Nelson and him are like routine martial arts, seeing the moves, they may occasionally come up with a strange move to win.
But Jackson, like his nickname "Zen Master", gives people a feeling of being in a fog and unable to figure out the routine.
Many times you will think that he is a typical "inaction", but sometimes you will find that he can grasp your soft underbelly and be erratic.
But it turns out that his path can be successful.
Like now, Popovich is getting a little out of temper.
At halftime, unlike the stalemate of the past five games, the Lakers led the Spurs by 17 points at halftime, 62-45!
Well, the Lakers extended the lead they built up in the first quarter!
When the camera was shown to the fans at the scene, the disappointment and confusion in their eyes could not be hidden.
They had expected the Spurs to bounce back at home and then go to Los Angeles to face the Lakers.
But because of the presence of G6 Sun and because of Phil Jackson's precise strokes, the Spurs seem to have lost this opportunity.
No, it won't!
After giving birth to this idea, they immediately rejected it again.
Because they're the Spurs, the most well-established and resilient team in the league, and they can't lose!
The lead at half time is accumulating strength, and in the second half they will fight back!
The expectations of the fans came true when they came back in the second half.
Coming back in the second half, the Lakers took the lead, Horry missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and Duncan protected the defensive rebound.
The Spurs were on a fast break, and Parker received a long pass from Ginobili and made a layup.
After O'Neal's strong attack on the inside was strongly blocked by Duncan, back on the offensive end, the Spurs played the same combination as they did in the opening game:
Ginobili broke through the ball to Duncan in the middle, the difference is that Duncan flashed past O'Neal like a tango this time, and scored with dexterity!
Suppressed, not beaten, Duncan has never been beaten in history, and neither can O'Neal.
And that's not all, after Sun Hao and O'Neal played an instantaneous combination and assisted O'Neal to score in the air, Ginobili turned back against Finley's defense and retreated to hit a three-point shot!
Look at Duncan in adversity, look at Ginobili in desperate situations!
Stone Buddha and demon knife take turns!
Under their leadership, the Spurs came back in the second half with a wave of 7-2 offensive to narrow the gap to 12 points!
The cheers at the scene vibrated and the fans were enthusiastic.
The situation of the game is developing in the direction they were expecting!
They know the Spurs, and the tough Spurs can't just torture and admit defeat easily!
A reversal game is more exciting than a stalemate game!
"Huh!"
But just as they were in high spirits, a basin of cold water poured down from their heads.
Sun Hao, a three-point shot on the offensive end and O'Neal after blocking!
What stone Buddha, what demon knife, can't stop the footsteps of G6 Sun!
The point difference is back to 15 points again!
If the Spurs want to cross this hurdle, they have to ask Sun Hao if he agrees!
Spurs, still not giving up!
"When everything seemed to be to no avail, I went to see a stonemason knocking stones. He struck 100 times in a row, and the stone still didn't move, but when he struck the 101st time, the stone split in half, but I knew that it was not the last blow that made the stone crack, but the result of the first 100 blows. ”
The Spurs' locker room motto, the famous 101 percussion theory.
At this time, it is not to give up.
They worked hard to attack and defend every round, and they were confident that at the end of the day, they would be able to make the final decision.
In fact, they did, with Ginobili scoring a goal on a serpentine breakaway, and Duncan successfully holding off O'Neal's strong attack on the defensive end!
Looking at Shi Buddha's humming and reddening expression, I knew that he had used all the strength to repair the car at this time!
Back to the offensive end, it was Duncan again, and he attacked O'Neal and caused O'Neal's defensive foul!
Stone Buddha, it's really hard!
Duncan made both free throws from the free throw line and showed O'Neal free throw teaching.
56 to 67!
The difference has been narrowed to 11 points!
From 12 to 11 points, it's like they're hitting a stone, and the impact of each time may be small, but the effect is accumulating.
"Defend! Defend! ”
The shouts and cheers at the scene were overwhelming.
The loud they shouted was the anticipation of the Spurs' comeback and their belief in their 101 hits.
"Huh!"
But the familiar scene was repeated again.
Sun Hao took advantage of Ma Long's cover to retreat out for three points, and then entered!
His 10th three-pointer of the game!
The shouting stopped abruptly, and there was a kind of despair in the eyes of the fans that could not be hidden.
Obviously, according to the script in the movie, their tenacity, their beating, will make victory come in the end.
But Sun Hao, this damn Sun Hao!
Ginobili, the shot that broke through the basket was covered by O'Neal!
I really don't think of O'Neill as a big shark anymore!
The Lakers played a defensive counterattack, Sun Hao, and a quick stop chased three points in the fast break.
The ball crosses a graceful parabola in the air.
"Huh!"
Sun Hao's 11th three-pointer of the game!!
This three-point shot tied his own record for three-pointers in a single playoff game!
At the same time, it also reopened the score on the field to 17 points!
The Spurs knocked out all the hammers, and finally they found out that it was a diamond in front of them!
The scene was in an uproar.
Their belief collapsed after Sun Hao's 3 three-pointers in this quarter!
