With 15.8 seconds left, the Spurs really did a superb job of controlling the time, and there was no problem.

Not a little wasted.

Now that they are 3-point ahead, the Lakers are still 3-point behind, and the way they can play has become much smaller. Because the attacks inside the 2-point line can basically be ignored by the Spurs. Only defend against three-point shots. Or be on the safe side, serve a frontcourt ball first, then grab a 2-pointer, and then execute the foul tactic and bet on the Spurs to miss a free throw.

The basic tactical style of play is these two, and D'Antoni is also hesitating and hesitating now.

Whether to grab 2 or bet on three points. But the best result of the three-point shot, that is, dragged into overtime, is not possible to kill in one go. What about the 2-pointer? The Spurs must have been the most consistent and best man for free throws in the final moments, and Duncan will not play as a result. This is not surprising, although Duncan's free throw shooting rate is not said to be "can be cut", but it is not very good, and his career is less than 7 percent, so at this time, the key is to get Duncan off the court. After all, the time is only 15.8 seconds, and it is really impossible to wait until the offensive round to replace Duncan.

And whoever basically analyzes it can be analyzed, D'Antoni has been an NBA head coach for so many years, and this ability is still there. It can't be Parker, because the Frenchman's free-throw shooting rate has not been high, that is, around 7 to 5, and it is only about 7 to 2 in the playoffs this season. In this case, he could not be the first choice. Leonard? His free throw shooting percentage in the regular season is good, but unfortunately he is still young in the playoffs, and his state fluctuates greatly, only 6 percent last year, and only 7 percent 3 this year, so it is not appropriate to give it to him. Overall, the Spurs' highest free-throw percentage is the Italian Marco. Belinelli, but this guy has a bad mentality, and his playoff state is far worse than in the regular season, so it is not appropriate to give him such an important key free throw. In this case, the most suitable person is Manu. Ginobili too.

Ginobili, big heart, Mr. Key, hard mentality, free throw shooting rate as high as 8 into 6 in the playoffs this season, is in addition to Marco. One of the Spurs' highest free-throw percentage outside of Belinelli. In addition, he is stable in possession of the ball and has a well-rounded technique, so it is the most reasonable thing to give him. So after some struggle, Mike. D'Antoni still chose to grab a 2-pointer first, and this tactical play determined D'Antoni's personality to a certain extent. He's always making tactical mistakes when he's in critical moments, or you could say he's unlucky. However, once or twice is "luck", and if there are more, it is difficult to say.

Unlike D'Antoni's small-ball play, which led the times, his key tactical decisions are always a bit "unbelievable".

But it's not that this style of play is wrong, grab one in 15.8 seconds, foul immediately, call a timeout, and then send the ball in the front court, there should be at least 7~8 seconds left. At that time, it is not too late to gamble. However, there is something that is not taken into account, and that is to grab a 2 point, can you really guarantee that you will score? The Spurs' defense at critical moments, the data shows that this season has been very strong, and the main focus on 3-pointers does not mean that they don't defend 2-pointers at all.

If you don't win, then there is no way to talk about the rest of the things.

Huge pressure enveloped the Lakers, and Tang Qian could clearly feel that the role players were overwhelmed by the pressure, and the nodding action was more like a mechanical subconscious, rather than really understanding D'Antoni's thoughts. This Lakers team is not the Lakers team of 08-10, and the role players of that Lakers team are very "hard-hearted". For example, Fisher's ability is indeed limited, but people dare to invest in stability at critical moments, and Ci Shiping, who also has a brain that doesn't know what it means to be nervous. The current Lakers don't have such people. Role players, none of them can be on top.

One of them has too little experience in the competition, whether it's Nick. Young, Meeks, Wesley. Johnson, Kendal. Marshall doesn't have any major tournament experience, or even playoff experience, but they don't add up to a few times. There's only one Jordan. Famar has experience in the Western Conference finals, but Famar's three-point shots are also accurate and inaccurate in the playoffs, which can be seen by looking at the changes in his playoff shooting percentage. Therefore, throwing them this kind of super key ball that is eliminated if you don't score, and you die if you don't score, is completely walking a tightrope, and it is the same as walking directly without a balance bar and inexperienced.

The end can be imagined.

Well, don't talk about them, Tang Qian himself feels that there is a great sense of pressure around him, if it weren't for the fact that he has gone through many finals baptism in the "different space", the situation of various elimination battles and life-and-death battles is not strange, it is estimated that the first time he encounters it, he will also feel a little "breathless", and it will not be much better than them.

Why do the best teams in the playoffs like to recruit seasoned veterans? Even if this veteran is not very useful in the regular season?

Here's why, the gap between the experienced and the inexperienced is not obvious in normal times, but the real pressure moment will suddenly be separated. So this ball, the Spurs' primary defensive target, is No. 24 Kobe.

As for Tang Qian, who is on the inside, they have all temporarily relaxed their "supervision".

After all, Tang Qian can't shoot a three-point shot, and at this stage, the Spurs can afford to throw the 2-point shot at all, and you have to figure it out, if you really want to do this, it's a big deal to pull it down with all your might. Because there is a situation where the ball is ready to attack, it doesn't matter if you "cut people" and "cut sharks". The last 2 minutes of the rule limit are not valid for it. This is why O'Neal is always more of a "spectator" in the final moments of the Lakers. There's no way, when you get the ball and you're ready to attack, that person can still foul and send you to the free throw line. Tang Qian's free throw crystal brick has indeed "yarded" to the peak of nine pieces, but it is only Chamberlain's free throw fluctuation between 6 into 1 ~ 6 into 3. It's not that good, the main thing is the playoffs......

Lost, still one point ahead, if the Lakers don't come up to foul, they will lose, and if they come up to foul, they will also make free throws, so they are still in the lead. Therefore, it is not difficult to choose between two or three.

Sure enough, the Spurs took Duncan in this defensive round,

Replaced with Matt, who is a little more reliable in his free throws. Bonner, anyway, as long as the Lakers dare to give the ball inside, then the price of fouls will be pulled down by No. 29. The shooting rate of more than 6 percent, it is hard to say, but the probability of 1 of 2 free throws is still very large, and at that time, the Spurs will go to the free throw line to score 2 goals, a 4-point difference, and the game will completely lose the suspense of reversal.

So that's why, as soon as the Spurs came up, they focused on No. 24.

The first is that the No. 24 will basically take over the Lakers' key ball at this time, and the second is that the Lakers have no other better choice at the moment. After the timeout, the two sides returned to the court, and at this time, it is estimated that Lakers fans around the world are in the same mood and mentality. It seems like 15.8 seconds is a long time.

In the live broadcast room of the domestic Tianchao Sports Channel, Yu Jia and Yangyi also felt nervous and said:

"The remaining 15.8 seconds are so important that they will determine whether the Lakers are eligible to continue the series."

"Indeed." Yangyi also stared at the broadcast screen and said: "This ball is quite critical, it depends on how D'Antoni will arrange to play." If you score 2 points, you have to quickly foul and grab points, and if you score 3 points, you are betting on it. Serve, oh, depending on the situation, it is 2 points, Gasol serves on the sideline of the front court, looking for someone, looking for someone, looking for Kobe, this ball is not good, Kobe Bryant was surrounded, did not get out of his body, and the ball could only be given to the vacant Meeks in the end. Meeks can make a move, it's an opportunity, huh? Meeks actually, Meeks didn't make the first move? Why is that? He hesitated, and by this time the Spurs' defense had turned around again! The opportunity is gone! Meeks was a little anxious, he almost lost the ball, and the basketball was given to Steve on the side. Nash, there are 7.9 seconds left in the clock. Nash didn't rush to handle the ball right away, he chose to go to the top arc to stabilize it, and seemed to be looking for the most suitable passing space. There was no time to pause and said: "It's a pity that Meeks hesitated just now, and the Lakers don't have time to grab another 2-point shot, and now they can only bet on a three-point shot." ”

Yang Yi is right, and it is precisely because of this that the Spurs' defense has become more targeted.

The inside line, it's basically completely let go, anyway, give you 2 points, it doesn't matter, the time is gone, and the game is over. This ball was so angry that D'Antoni on the sidelines almost had a bloody brain, because of such a sudden "change", the arrangement of what he just said during the timeout became useless "nonsense". Now, instead, you can only bet three points and bet on it. If you don't bet, you lose, if you bet, it's just a draw, and the Lakers' situation is quite passive.

But this is the real reality of the game, there are many things, which are beyond the control of the plan, and the unexpected situation, D'Antoni copes, obviously not half as subtle and spicy as the Spurs' Popovich. This is the absolute gap in coaching ability.

The remaining 7.9 seconds will determine the Lakers' final success or failure of the season, and if not, then ......

The Spurs are almost fully defensive, and Kobe Bryant is also tightly entangled with 2 people, with a large range of movements, which must be a foul in normal times or in the regular season. But at this juncture, the referee will definitely not give the whistle easily.

It's time for the players to make decisions, for the players to dictate the game.

At this time, it's not nice to say, "The Emperor of Porcelain" Harden is here, and it's not easy to make.

A word, unless there is a particularly serious intentional foul, there is no whistle.

The fans shouted at the whole stadium to defend, and at the same time there were some unpleasant words that followed, and at the home of the Spurs, you, as the visiting team, are treated as a matter of course. The tsunami-like shouts of the mountains are really difficult for ordinary people to resist. However, Nash was unmoved, he just watched the half court quietly, as if he was not in a hurry at all, and did not realize that the time was about to run out.

He just controlled the ball like usual, his eyes were sharp and he knew the whole game.

"Steve, don't waste your strength, we're not going to let you get away with it." Parker said "trash talk" while defending: "Admit defeat, this is your fate, the Western Conference Finals is your highest stage." Nash looked at the half-court and didn't rush to refute Parker, because something the former said was right, the Spurs have already figured out the Lakers' final play, and now the Lakers don't have time to play 2-pointers anymore, and the means and scope of the offense are more limited and easier to speculate.

This kind of discourse, with the unquestionable power of reality, is the most likely to disturb people's hearts.

Parker has played in the league for so many years, and he is not the stunned young man he was at the beginning, Nash has an MVP, but Parker also has an FMVP. And it is estimated that many people do not know that as of the 2013-2014 season, in the last 30 years of the NBA, the 2 championships have been the team's scoring champions, and there are only 7 people. Jordan, Olajuwon, O'Neal, Duncan, Kobe, James and Tony. Parker. So Parker has been underestimated in a lot of ways, just like his defense. This is also a big problem playing under Popovich in San Antonio, and the league does not have a strong presence, including Duncan, who is also in the top 10 of history, and his presence is almost at the bottom.

Time passed by minute by minute, and time was running out for the Lakers, and many reporters even turned on their tablets to write down a rough draft of the Spurs vs Heat first.

Countless Lakers fans also closed their eyes in a little despair.

The Spurs were so targeted that they basically anticipated all aspects of the Lakers' intended offense.

Duncan sat on the sidelines, he looked at the number 29 on the field and said:

You're really strong, and you've played perfectly since the rest of the series, but unfortunately, your future isn't here yet.

At least this season, in the future, it still belongs to the San Antonio Spurs.

So......

Just thinking about it, suddenly a scene on the field made Duncan suddenly interrupt his thoughts, because the No. 10 on the field was actually transported and suddenly rose from the ground. 40-year-old Steve. Nash, the ball, didn't pass the ball, but ...... Shoot yourself.

That's right, with 3.2 seconds left in the game, Steve Nash, himself outside the three-point line in the top arc, pulled up and shot.

The ball was sudden, but Parker's reaction was quick, and he pounced almost half a second later.

"Steve. Nash shot? This ball Nash came on his own? Will it go in? Will it help the Lakers tie the score? In the live broadcast room of Tianchao Sports Station, Yu Jia said loudly that his ball is equivalent to saying the voice of all Lakers fans.

Yes, will it go in? Will it work?

"Oh~ No, it's not good, Parker's ball is too timely, this ball may be directly blocked."

"This ball shows that Nash is old, and in his peak moment, the speed and speed, including the height of the jump, are much better than now. The Lakers are more than lucky. ”

Yang Yi is pessimistic, because this ball fool can see that the interference with Nash is too great, and it is almost impossible not to be disturbed. His true overall ability has declined too much compared to back then. But just when Parker's heart was filled with a hint of joy, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, as if he saw a little smile on the body of the 10th in Los Angeles.

At this time, how can you still laugh? Blinded yourself, right?

But soon, someone helped him sit down "this glance".

"I'm old, but ...... I can still move. ”

"I'm not old yet."

Parker's ball didn't go to the basketball, it went to Steve. Nash's small arm, because Nash also leaned back a little bit at the moment of his shot. It was this slight recline that just opened up a line of distance from Parker, and then saw the Lakers' No. 10, and continued to shoot hard.

There was no Frenchman in Nash's eyes, and he seemed to have penetrated Tony. Parker, with a flick of his arm and a bend of his wrist, the orange basketball burst out of the air.

In that moment, Nash was like growing the long hair he once had, and his shot was steady and decisive.

Do you think Nash is Paul? In fact, when Nash led the team at his peak, his attack power was always extremely strong.

Not to mention the club with an average of 30+ super high shooting percentage per game in the series, just the last four, five or six games of the 05 playoffs and the Mavericks, do you know what Nash's total shooting percentage is? 60.3%！！！ 40.3 points in three games!!

Do you understand the concept??? When Nash was at his peak, his defense was indeed inferior to Kidd and Paul, but he also had his own strengths. That's the score. Nash's scoring ability has been proven many times in the playoffs.

It's not like he can't play the No. 1 position with a high-explosive score.

So Nash's scoring has always been a greatly underrated aspect.

He's also a hidden killer in the Alliance.

As soon as the ball was shot, in fact, Nash knew that it was in, there was no reason, it was just feeling, it was confidence.

This ball will definitely not run.

Definitely not biased.

Brush~

On Parker's panicked face, the Spurs Nets behind him were impaled by the basketball.

Basketball grazing the white waves set off by the Nets, and San Antonio's home court suddenly quieted.

That's not all, at the same time, Nash fell to the ground, and the referee's subsequent whistle was what really gave Parker a heavy blow.

There was no blood on his face.

At that moment, he heard what seemed to be someone on the ground speaking to him:

"Hey~ young man, I'm sorry, you were killed by my old bones."
