Chapter 333: Fight the Strongest Opponent! Take the most difficult points! Win the most dignified game!
Very helpless!
Vicky is really helpless!
In this game, he is already using Duncan to help defend Yes.
At half-time, Yes still scored 24 points!
Facing the combination of Duncan and Bowen, he scored 24 points at halftime!
Bowen is one of the best outside defenders in the NBA over the past decade.
Duncan is one of the best interior defenders in the NBA over the past decade.
In the face of these two people, even if he is known as the nemesis of the Spurs, the famous Kobe Bryant can't play such a half game!
In the previous battle between the Lakers and the SuperSonics, he had thought about using Duncan and Kobe Bryant to solve the Yes problem.
The combination of Duncan and Bowen is not as powerful as that of Duncan and Kobe.
But the gap is mainly on the offensive end.
On the defensive end, Duncan and Bowen's power is already the strongest inside-outside combination in the entire league!
Especially in this game, Duncan and Bowen have performed very well on the defensive end!
Yes is the league's strongest off-ball offensive player.
Vicky has studied a lot of Yes games.
He'd never seen a player do what Bowen did today!
Yes's almost no offense, Bowen was in place.
But it still can't be prevented!
It's uncomfortable!
Every time I play against Yes, it's really uncomfortable!
I didn't have a match against Yes, and I want to play against Yes!
But with the match against Yes, he needs to rack his brains to solve Yes's problems!
I'm looking forward to it, but I'm afraid of being hurt!
That's how he's feeling right now!
"Thiem, continue to attack Milicic in the second half, several inside lines of the SuperSonics, only Milicic can defend you, Milicic is now in a foul crisis, after Milicic is off the court, you can attack more fiercely, Thiem, I hope you can fully release the offense in this game! I hope you don't score less than Yes in this game! ”
Unleash the offense completely?
Score no less than Yes?
It's not easy.
Before the game, Duncan was confident to do it, but after halftime, he didn't have that confidence.
Yes!
His offensive prowess is beyond imagination.
Even Bruce was of no use in front of him!
You can't blame Bruce, who has actually done a great job in this game.
It's just that......
"Bruce, you played really well in the first half, don't put unnecessary pressure on you, yes the first half outburst is not your fault. There were fewer fouls in the second half, I need you to stay on the court more, Crawford was a little too harsh on us today, you need to be a little bit more mindful of what you do. ”
In this game, Duncan and Bowen are the two most important players.
、
Very happy with Duncan, ** Vic, and very happy with Bowen, ** Vic.
The only thing that was a little dissatisfying was that Bowen was targeted by Crawford's whistle.
Well, that's normal in the NBA.
Yes is actually a good scale, the NBA's new chosen son only got the star whistle in the second half of the season.
And Yes is also very different from other players who have a star whistle, Yes never actively looks for opportunities to star whistle.
Yes never yells at the referee after every attack: "My bowl!" ”
With Yes's current status in the NBA, according to James' standards, Vicky feels that David Stern doesn't pay enough attention to Yes.
"It's a very tough game against the SuperSonics, it's going to be very difficult for us, we need to be focused, hungry and not take it lightly at any time!"
"As long as the person standing across from us is yes, we must be prepared for the worst at all times!"
The Spurs have a lot of veterans, Duncan, Barry, Bowen, Finley, and Horry, who is still in the hospital, they are all well-informed veterans in their thirties.
They've never seen Vicky become so cautious because of any player!
Even the Spurs' youngsters, Parker and Ginobili, have been with Vicky for a long time.
They've never seen anything like that before.
It can only be said that Yes gives ** Vicky, and the pressure on the Spurs is too great!
Yes is strong and the game is hard to play.
But, this is a game that can't be lost, we need to get back the fifth place in the West that belongs to the Spurs!
In the stands at the Key Forme in Seattle.
David Stern was happy with the first half of this game.
The game was tight enough and the key players performed quite well.
This is what an NBA spotlight game should look like!
"Joey's first half blow was brilliant, he's the best in the league and one of the most trusted referees."
Ever since James, the once chosen one, was spoiled by his star whistle, David Stern has been converging the NBA's star whistle.
In order to find the next Jordan, after James appeared, he was too eager for quick success.
Under the pampering of his star whistle, James did not turn into Jordan.
Instead, it becomes a player who needs to take a few extra steps to make a layup, and the more open the shot, the more pressure there is.
James' predicament in the NBA now is not just the snake-letting tactic that Yes came up with.
Another reason is that at his behest, James' questionable breakouts and layups are no longer allowed to be questionable.
It doesn't matter if you take one step or two, it's all a walk!
Not only that, in every game of James, if the referee misses James's steps, he will be fined for demerits!
In order not to be fined, many referees only need a slight problem with James's breakthrough, that is, they would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let go of one.
It's only been two months, and James' average turnovers per game have risen from 3.7 to 5.7!
Even in many games, James is trying to reduce possession and break less.
I can't break through, I can't shoot very well, and I have never learned without the ball.
If you don't struggle, you really can't talk about it.
James's struggles on the court, David Stern watched them all.
Now James's confidence is shaken, his despair is exploding, and he looks like he is about to be played.
But David Stern didn't relent.
He never denied that he loved James a lot.
Since James entered the league, he has always grown up under his pampering.
His love for James made James even lose the name of the chosen one when he faced Yes!
James is three years older than Yes!
But in front of Yes, James is more like the younger one!
Fortunately, James is also really young, and he can also return to the right path and continue to grow.
James can no longer rely on his favorites to play.
He needs real progress!
James is very painful now, but as long as he gets through this painful period, there will be spring in front of him and a sea of stars!
Now Yes has become the undisputed number one card in the future of the NBA.
But James is still important.
Yes in the West, James in the East!
In his mind, the pattern of the future alliance is still one east and one west, one person and one city!
He's looking forward to James' future growth.
He was confident that James would not let him down.
With so many lessons learned from James, David Stern certainly won't make the same mistake with Yes again.
Yes can be allowed to have a star whistle on the body, but it must not pass!
Whoever dares to give the Yes star whistle like you did to James back then, I'm sorry, you're not fit to officiate the NBA game.
Whoever dares to destroy my Yes, I will dare to ask for someone's job.
Uncle Stern is so domineering in the NBA!
Therefore, although Yes has the treatment of a star whistle, there are really not many referees who dare to give Yes a star whistle treatment in the game.
If you don't have that level, don't look for death by yourself.
Joey Crawford is one of the few referees in the league to have this calibre.
In the first half, David Stern was pleased with Crawford's blow.
It will not affect the spectacle of the game.
It doesn't make Yes feel like it's all too easy.
At the end of the first half, Yes didn't seem to be very happy with Crawford's blow in the first half.
After the game, their eyes were glued to Crawford.
Yes also want the same favor as James back then?
It's impossible!
Even if Yes is no longer satisfied, it is impossible for him to give any player the same treatment that James did back then!
So, yes, use your strength to defeat the strong enemy in front of you!
"The game is back!"
David Stern once again set his eyes on the Supersonic Nine who was back on the court, and his eyes were full of love!
At the beginning of the third quarter, in the second half of the second quarter, Yes, who stopped attacking after Bowen went off the court, began to attack frantically again!
Looking at Yes, who is bombarding the Spurs on the field, ** Vicky is going to shut himself up!
Don't you want to be so ruthless!
You're in front of Bruce Bowen!
I just finished arranging the tactics against you in the locker room, and before I started to implement it, you directly dismantled the table?!
Bowen is really desperate right now!
He was the most desperate person in this game!
More desperate than Milicic!
Duncan's abuse of Milicic is like abusing vegetables, but it's not that vicious!
Moreover, what is most bitter about Bowen now is that he not only has to be abused by Yes on the field, but also has to cooperate with Yes's performance!
If his defense of Yes really let Yes cross the road in the early morning, he would have been replaced with a hair dryer a long time ago!
In order to keep him on the field, Yes can easily beat him, but she always lets his defense be in place before defeating him!
It looks like most of his defense is in place, in fact it doesn't work at all!
Yes's shooting is too good at choking time!
Every time it's calculated, he can be in place without interfering with his timing!
It makes it look like he's still good defensively, and he's still able to defend almost every time against the league's best off-ball player, which is very impressive.
Bowen is really bitter in his heart!
He has been in the NBA for so many years, and he has never seen anyone dare to play with him like this!
What's even more bitter is that Yes plays with him like this, not only can he not resist, but he can only cooperate!
As soon as the third quarter began, Milicic was already paying attention to his defensive moves.
He is really the only center that can play supersonic.
He's going to go down, and the center forward position can only be topped by Millsap!
In terms of Millsap's strength, let him take the center position, and the supersonic can only shrink the whole team.
Why did Milicic come off the field with four fouls in the first half?
It's because I really can't go down!
It's the same as Bowen on the opposite side of the Spurs, and the Spurs are the only ones who can look very good at Yes defense.
Milicic was very careful.
But with 5 minutes left in the third quarter, Milicic still fouled again!
"Milicic's body inertia has hit!"
At the moment when Crawford's whistle sounded, Milicic wanted to chop off his right hand, which had just been out of control!
Can't control your hands in such a crucial game!
63 to 63!
Now when the supersonic and Spurs are at their most anxious, he stupidly paid for a foul!
"Milicic has committed five crimes!"
"Milicic has to go down!"
Duncan hit both free throws, 65-63, and the Spurs once again overtook by two points!"
Seeing that Milicic was finally knocked off the field by Duncan, the ** Vic on the sidelines even waved his arms excitedly!
Milicic five fouls!
The twist of the game has finally arrived!
However!
Just when ** Vicky appeared because of the turn of the game, Supersonic took Duncan's second free throw and directly launched a fast attack!
Rondo motioned to Millsap to quickly serve the baseline ball, Rondo didn't stop, and directly threw a long throw, and the basketball flew to Yes, who had already rushed to the front court!
Even Vic is now excited about Milicic's departure, and no one on the Spurs court except Bowen, who has been following Yes, has noticed that Yes has played a fast break!
"Rondo is such a chicken thief! No, Rondo's fast-break awareness is too good! ”
"It's unbelievable that in the face of Yes, the fastest in the league, Bowen, who is already thirty-six, can keep up!"
Keep up with Nima!
Yes, you're going to play this?!
Bowen really wants to cry now!
Yes, it's true, and even how fast he can run now!
In the face of such a toy like Yes, he can't run away!
And you have to run with all your might!
Otherwise, ** will definitely squirt him!
A thirty-six-year-old veteran, in the game, in order to defend, such a desperate chase, such a picture is very touching!
Originally, because of the lack of concentration of the players on the Spurs, ** Vicky wanted to spray directly on the sidelines.
But seeing Bowen who was crazy to chase Yes, ** Vicky was so moved that he didn't say anything!
"Bowen can keep up with Yes?!"
"It's a miracle!"
"God was touched by Bowen!"
Touched Nima!
Bowen wanted to foul, but he didn't dare to reach forward!
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he would follow Yes!
If you lose Yes, you will be held accountable, he is chasing well, why do you want to reach out?!
He can only perform with Yes now!
Yes suddenly accelerated?!
No, Yes is ready to shoot!
Playing with him all the way with the same speed as him, accelerating and throwing away distance from him when he can shoot, and leaving him a chance to jump up and pounce!
Yes, don't you want to be so ruthless!
Bowen's heart was crying, but his body could only jump and pounce out!
"Incredible defense?!"
"Bowen can defend this in place?!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary seat were stunned!
They talked about a lot of Yes games.
I've also watched a lot of Yes games.
Whether it's NCAA or NBA, there are at least 100 games!
After Hurricane Garfield blew, it was the first time they saw that a hurricane had actually been caught up one day?!
Brush it up!
The crisp sound of brushing the net brought Barkley and Kenny Smith, who were still lamenting Bowen's defense, back to reality!
Three-point hit!
Bowen's recovery defense has been excellent.
But a hurricane is a hurricane, and a yes is a yes!
This can be entered, but there is really no way!
Vicky's face is ugly.
But what else could he say?
Bowen has done his best!
Bowen has already shown his top-tier defensive prowess.
In the first two games against the Sonics, Bowen didn't do his best.
In this game, Bowen has given everything!
But in the face of such a Yes, what can Bowen do?
Squirt Bowen?
Of course not!
No, he even needs to give Bowen a round of applause!
Just as Vicky was standing on the sidelines about to applaud Bowen, a few rapid 'beep' whistles rang out!
Seeing the exaggerated bald referee on the court making a foul move towards Bowen, ** Vicky was directly dumbfounded!
Not to mention ** Vicky, Bowen himself was dumbfounded.
Foul?!
Nima's foul!
If I can foul Yes, can I make Yes shoot?!
"Foul! Crawford blows his fifth foul on Bowen! ”
"Just like in the first half, after Milicic fouled for the fifth time, Bowen immediately fouled five fouls as well!"
Milicic is off, and Bowen must follow!
This sense of déjà vu is too strong!
"Bowen's clothes are brought to Yes's clothes!"
Kobe Bryant, who was in front of the TV, found out the basis for Crawford's blowing when the TV replayed the controversial footage for the first time.
But this is far-fetched on how to look at it!
Looking at Bowen in a daze on TV, and Vicky, who was arguing on the sidelines, Kobe Bryant was very sympathetic, but he was also slightly relieved.
Of course, he is in favor of hypersonic and Yes in this game!
As far as the next schedule of the supersonic speed, if you want to hold the fifth place in the West, it is a fantasy!
If the Lakers want to get the fifth place in the West, the biggest opponent is the Spurs!
If Spurs lose to the SuperSonics in this game, that's the best result!
Milicic was beaten down by Duncan, and Bowen had to go!
Kobe Bryant is not stupid, he can certainly see what Crawford wants to do!
"** Vicky is still protesting, but the protest is not working, Crawford is already warning ** Vic!"
looked at the ** Vicky, who was warned to appeal for Bowen as well, thinking about Bowen who just gave everything in order to chase Yes.
Duncan, who had been standing next to him without speaking, smiled.
There was no laughter, but a hearty smile appeared on his face.
Duncan, who has always had an expressionless look on his face, actually showed such a smile at this time!
At the moment when Duncan showed such a smile, even **vic, who had been complaining to Crawford, was stunned.
Tim actually laughed on the court?
This smile ......
Certainly not laughing at Bruce!
Beep beep!
There was another rapid whistle, and after the ** Vicky, who was still stunned, came back to his senses, his face was pale!
T!
Crawford blows T!
And the object of the point is actually Duncan!
"Duncan ate T!"
"Duncan was actually blown by Crawford because of his smile!"
Ross Barkley and SuperSonics fans on the sidelines were stunned by Crawford's series of actions!
Even the assistant beside David Stern looked at David Stern in a bit of a panic at this time.
This is Tim Duncan!
Just give Tim Duncan a T because of a smile?!
Why is Crawford so good at playing?!
Facing the assistant's panicked eyes.
David Stern's eyes narrowed and he smiled.
"There was controversy before, and now there will be no controversy."
President, are you kidding?
Haven't you seen how Vicky and the Spurs players get excited before?
Now that Crawford gave Duncan a technical foul because of Duncan's smile, you actually said the controversy was gone?
Because Crawford gave Duncan a technical foul, the big controversy was gone?
Even if you really use technical fouls to settle the controversy, you should give Yes technical fouls to settle it!
It's just that what stunned the assistant was that ** Vicky, who was still noisy just now, calmed down instantly after Duncan was whistled for a technical foul.
"Now a lot of people in the league should learn how Joey blows the game correctly and how to establish his own fairness on the court."
David Stern smiled and then put his eyes on the court.
One shooting foul, one technical free throw foul.
66 to 65!
Now because of Yes's three points, it was overtaken by supersonic by one point.
Now the SuperSonics have two more free throws!
And the player who executes free throws at the supersonic speed is still Yes!
With Yes's free throw shooting percentage, after two free throws, the score on the court is likely to become 68-65!
From being one point behind to three points behind!
In a game like Spurs and the SuperSonics, any point is precious, let alone two!
**Vicky is very distressed!
It's useless to feel distressed!
Whoever made that dead bald head on the field was Crawford!
Bang!
The ** vic, who was still resentful of Crawford, was pulled back to reality by a sound of iron!
Iron?!
Yes missed a free throw?!
How is this possible?!
Yes has missed a lot of free throws this season.
But there was never a penalty at a critical moment!
Now is the moment of truth!
Another clang!
** Vicky, who was still surprised, is now not just surprised, but shocked!
"Same position, same frontier, Yes is deliberate!"
"Yes is deliberately missing a free throw!"
Buckley excitedly stood up from his seat.
Yes is a deliberate miss!
Without Barkley roaring there, Kobe Bryant also guessed Yes's intentions!
Yes is actually avenging Bowen and Duncan?!
"Now I finally know why Yes didn't attack again after Bowen made four fouls in the first half!"
"Yes, I don't want to get such a point!"
"Fight the strongest opponent! Take the most difficult points! Win the most dignified game! ”
"Yes this game used his practical actions to show the world what is really the domineering of Hurricane Garfield!"
Fight the strongest opponents!
Take the most difficult points!
Win the most dignified game!
Kobe, who originally disdained Barkley's hindsight, now has an expression of disbelief on his face!
Yes really think so?!
Kobe Bryant had a hard time believing Yes was thinking so.
It's a life-and-death battle!
Fight the strongest opponents!
Take the most difficult points!
Win the most dignified game!
For the sake of these three beliefs, Yes is willing to give up the chance to easily beat the Spurs?!
Bryant didn't want to believe that what Barkley was yelling at right now was real.
But, only this can be explained!
Yes?!
Looking at the supersonic nine on the TV, which is now focused by all the cameras, Kobe's hands have been clenched into fists!
The things that Barkley is now roaring at have had a huge impact on the tens of millions of viewers in front of the television!
On the soccer field, there are often players who give up points.
But in the NBA, many people are seeing free throws for the first time!
And it's such a crucial game, such a critical point in time!
"Yes, I'm apologizing to my teammates!"
"Yes apologizes to my teammates for missing two free throws!"
"Yes, after apologizing to his teammates, looked at Bowen sitting on the sidelines!"
"Yes is clapping!"
"Yes applauding Bowen!"
Looking at the Yes on the court who voluntarily gave up two free throws and now took the lead in applauding Bowen, the expression on Vic's face is very peculiar now.
Incredible, unbelievable, surprised, you're lying to me, it's true?!
The expression on Vicky's face is now very complicated!
Even the Spurs players on the court who were ready to attack stopped!
Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Finley, Barry, all looked at Yes with incredible expressions.
"This is the most touching picture I have ever seen in my commentary career!"
"That's what we love about Yes!"
"That's what we love Yes!"
"And this is the mind that the chosen one should have!"
"I repeat! Fight the strongest opponents! Take the most difficult points! Win the most dignified game! ”
"Rather than scoring points in the rotation lineup, that's what the Chosen One should do!"
"The NBA's law of the jungle has buried too many ideals, and Yes is the player who helped the NBA pick up ideals and fairy tales!"
"The supersonic players on the scene, led by Yes, are applauding Bowen!"
"Bowen used to be the most hated player by supersonic fans, and now, they're applauding Bowen for being unjust!"
Applause, crazy applause!
Vicky really didn't expect them to get a round of applause at the Key Arena!
Or this kind of crazy applause from the audience!
Vicky didn't expect it, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and every other Spurs player didn't think of it!
In particular, the object of these applause is still for Bowen!
After being stunned by the crazy applause of the audience, the ** Vicky and the Spurs substitute players on the sidelines, Duncan on the court, also applauded.
"Bruce, your defense has earned the respect of Yes, and your defense has earned the respect of all the supersonic fans!"
Matt Bonner, who was sitting next to Bowen, looked excited and envious!
Being wrongjudged by the referee has been experienced by every NBA player!
But who can get such respect as Bowen?!
Bowen: This is probably the first time in NBA history!
An NBA player, if there is such a moment in the NBA, it can already be a perfect curtain call!
The teammates around me are crazy and excited about themselves!
But Bowen is now dumbfounded.
In the eyes of teammates, Yes's current applause is the applause of angels!
But in his opinion, Yes's current applause is a demon's talisman!
Yes is still playing him!
Yes is playing him like crazy in this game!
Yes, now playing his routine is getting deeper and deeper!
Look at the supersonic nine, who applauded him with a serious face.
Bowen is really going to cry now!
Knowing that Yes is playing with him like crazy now, he now has to cooperate!
The applause of these demonic talismans was what he wanted most now!
It's uncomfortable, I want to cry!
It was very uncomfortable, and I wanted to cry very much!
"Bruce, you, you're crying?!"
The Spurs players next to him, who were still happy for Bowen, suddenly burst into tears when they saw it, and everyone's faces showed expressions of understanding.
Even ** Vicky was moved!
Bruce never cried like this when he was broken by Yes!
He has been with Bruce for so many years, and he has never seen Bruce cry so sadly!
It's all moving!
It is said that Yes is a fairy tale in the NBA, and now, ** Vicky feels that he finally believes it!
Fairy tales?
Looking at the ten players on the court who were clapping, and looking at Bowen, who was now crying.
He looked at Crawford, who had just upset him.
**Vicky secretly made a decision!
You can not only respond to Yes's fairy tale, but also win and take revenge, why not?!
"Spurs asked for a timeout!"
"** Vicky is replaced by Bowen again!"
"Bowen, who was just replaced for his fifth foul, has been replaced again!"
"At the same time, the supersonic side has also been replaced by Milicic, who is also in a foul crisis!"
"This is a yes-driven, spurs and supersonic combination of a slap in the face to Crawford!"
Yes, this face is a bit hard!
Barkley and Kenny Smith couldn't help but exclaim!
And what is even more amazing is that Crawford, who was slapped in the face by Yes and the Spurs supersonic, did not react at all!
Once the game starts, do whatever you want!
There was no targeting of Bowen or Duncan.
A fair look that even touched himself!
"It turns out that Yes was unhappy with Joey in the first half not because he wanted James's treatment, but because he didn't even want the treatment he has now?!"
David Stern, who had always been very calm before, was really surprised now!
Two Chosen Ones!
In the face of his favor, the choices of the two are completely different!
One is pampered and proud!
The other is dismissive!
"No wonder even fans who don't like Yes don't hate him!"
The assistants around David Stern all sighed involuntarily.
"Who hates a fairy tale like that?!"
Yes made the most touching choice in this game, and it's time for the NBA to change!
"Let's enjoy a game that is destined to go down in NBA history!"
Yes, just let me see where you have the confidence to be dismissive of me!
David Stern is looking forward to it!
When the game is over, look at the score on the scoreboard, 91-87!
David Stern was also amazed!
Bryant was shocked!
He, really did it?!
Did the superSonics really win?!
In the face of the Spurs, who are now going all out, Yes really won?!
On TV, the fans of the Key Arena are going crazy!
And Kobe's ears kept buzzing with Barkley's roar!
"Fight the strongest opponent! Take the most difficult points! Win the most dignified game! ”
"Yes, it did!"
"Yes really did!"
