Chapter 55: Smashing Faith
was blown by the coach's chicken soup, Parsons was full of confidence again, and only remembered that he had just scored one.
If you don't enter, it feels bad, how can that rookie of the Spurs stop him, he feels good now.
Parsons's routine of pressing inside and then using the height to shoot Zhang Xiaotian was already clear with his eyes closed, he was a little bit worse in physical fitness before, how could he still let him succeed now.
When the opponent pressed to the three-point line, Zhang Xiaotian had already taken half a step back in advance, anyway, even if Parsons didn't shoot half a step back, he could prevent a breakthrough.
It's not about giving the opponent space to shoot, it's about giving yourself space to jump up and interfere.
The prediction was correct, so when Parsons pulled it up, one hand had already covered the sky and fanned him.
He twisted in the air to dodge the block, but the shot fell directly into the arms of the Spurs player, waiting for the same mistake.
Parker received the ball and pushed forward quickly and hit another two-pointer to tie the game.
At this point, Jeremy Lin had to take action himself, and the stop-and-go jump shot also entered.
But then Zhang Xiaotian received the ball and squeezed Parsons to hit two points, and the score was tied again.
Time is getting less and less, and the atmosphere is getting more and more tense, and those viewers who were excited not long ago already have a feeling that they dare not watch at this time.
Jeremy Lin broke through the emergency stop again, but this time it was iron.
In the fourth quarter, he took too few shots after the break, and with a lot of physical exertion, he no longer had the majesty he had before.
The Spurs' offense is much more flexible than the opponent's, because there are too many people who can play.
Ginobili, who had been playing soy sauce before, stepped forward and hit a two-point shot on the line, and the Spurs overtook him.
Time 1:06, 120:118, Rockets request a timeout.
After the timeout, Asik of the Rockets came up to block the pick-and-roll, Parsons went down from the other side, Jeremy Lin went around the defender, and threw the ball with one hand, and Parsons picked up the ball.
But Zhang Xiaotian was not thrown away, and under his interference, Parsons struck iron again.
In the final 1 minute, with the lead in hand, the Spurs began to press the time.
Although it didn't hit in the end, it took a lot of time to succeed.
In order to give an offense time, the Rockets chose to shoot quickly and still hit the iron in the next offense.
At this time, the Rockets' defense of Zhang Xiaotian was also extremely tight, the Spurs still pressed the time, and Parker missed the shot at the last time, but only left 7 seconds for the opponent.
In the final defense, Jeremy Lin and Parsons will definitely need to focus on defense.
The Rockets were received by Jeremy Lin, Zhang Xiaotian stared at Parsons and did not dare to relax, and it was possible for Jeremy Lin to pass the ball.
Instead of trying to kill the game with a three-pointer, Lin rushed inside.
Zhang Xiaotian's heart moved, but he still didn't grab it inside.
Parker followed, Duncan blocked, and in the final moments, as long as he blocked the ball, the Spurs won.
Jeremy Lin killed inside, and he may have intended to make a foul, but at the last moment, the Spurs' defense was well controlled.
I just didn't expect Jeremy Lin to hand the ball out of the crowd, and Asik hit it unmarked, 120:120.
There was only 1 second left in the clock, Zhang Xiaotian wanted to end the game, but the Rockets' final defense was in place, not only staring at Zhang Xiaotian, Parker and Ginobili also had no space to catch the ball, Danny Green had no choice but to hoist the ball to Duncan, Duncan's three-point shot did not hit, and the two teams entered overtime.
The whistle blew and the teams of both teams entered the field again.
Zhang Xiaotian clenched his fists, and he would definitely not let the victory slip away today.
People are not grassy people, and he has been hearing outside talking about him and Jeremy Lin, and of course he wants to behave better.
The power of the first offense in overtime was grabbed by the Spurs, and Ginobili tried to shoot directly from beyond the three-point line.
In fact, Ginobili is also the type that becomes more accurate at the critical moment, but it is not as contrasting as Zhang Xiaotian.
With a little less force, the basketball bounced out in a familiar direction.
It's Zhang Xiaotian again, this time he is more direct, and the whole person is rushing towards the opponent's basket.
He has seen his teammates' shots countless times, and if his body reaction and movement speed can keep up, he doesn't want to let go of any frontcourt rebounds.
The ability to play overtime improved again, and Zhang Xiaotian was like a doping, but his head was extraordinarily calm.
The prediction was correct, and at this moment, the divine soldiers descended from the sky.
Zhang Xiaotian grabbed the basketball in the air and smashed it hard.
The dunk was successful, and the Spurs won the opportunity.
When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, it was still a panacea-all-trades, with a block coming out of the inside, and Jeremy Lin erasing the inside line and dismantling it when he encountered an interception.
Seeing that there was no one in front of him, Asik planned to shoot easily, and he felt really good today.
It's just that as soon as the ball was shot this time, Zhang Xiaotian flew over from the side, and a big hand fanned the ball out, Jeremy Lin would pass, but Asik could only do the endpoint.
If the ability is strong, he will wave, most of them are waves on the offensive end, Zhang Xiaotian likes the feeling of preventing the opponent to death.
The Spurs attacked, Zhang Xiaotian asked for the ball strongly, and when the confidence came, the momentum came up, and the passes of his teammates would increase accordingly.
His eyes were fixed on Parsons, and it could be said that his eyes were almost as murderous.
Parsons' pressure suddenly increased, and everyone's physical strength had dropped in overtime, but the opponent in front of him felt more and more fierce, and there was no reason.
Rhythmic dribbling, as if it will accelerate to the inside at any time.
Suddenly, Parsons felt Zhang Xiaotian's gaze pass over him.
Pulling it up is a three-point shot, ferocious and fierce, and many fans have already shouted Zhang Xiaotian's nickname.
Celestial, mighty!
This kind of domineering seems to have the feeling of a top player, and Parsons was instantly beaten into a rookie.
scored 5 points in a row, although it was not yet possible to lock up the victory, but the Rockets were already standing on the edge of the cliff.
Jeremy Lin broke through and threw himself out, barely getting a foul, and it took two free throws to let the team breathe a sigh of relief, and the surrounding home crowd felt a glimmer of hope.
But immediately the Spurs relied on a delicate combination, and Ginobili scored inside to make it 2+1.
The gap became 6 points, and it wasn't just the beginning, but overtime, and the time was delayed by one second and one second.
Parsons didn't understand, facing Zhang Xiaotian twice, this player was obviously mediocre, at most he was about the same as him, originally he felt that he was much stronger than Zhang Xiaotian, but now that the other party is so strong, the memory in his brain has been somewhat corrected.
Why does this person become so strong at a critical moment and put so much pressure on him.
Impossible, confident, he needs to believe in himself, after receiving the ball, Parsons is ready to hit Zhang Xiaotian, as long as the play is done, the messy thoughts in his head will disappear.
Just after he put on a stance, the ball in his hand had already been cut off.
Attacking a dragon quickly, Zhang Xiaotian hit a tomahawk and smashed the confidence of the Rockets players.
