Chapter 154: Serious Impact

Vicky put his hands in his pants pockets to hide his chagrin and some uneasiness. Although he is not a character who likes to hide his emotions, as he gets older and older, it seems that it is difficult for Vicky to even press his subconscious psychology.

After all, the legendary coach is also 65 years old, and his approaching seventy years of experience has made his coaching experience more sophisticated, but it has also made some of his abilities less powerful than they were when he was in his prime.

Pick-and-roll, damn pick-and-roll...... The old coach thought in his heart, the Miami's blocking and pick-and-roll tactics were simply pervasive, blocking Addison and Bosh's blocking and pick-and-roll routes, but they didn't expect them to evolve a new blocking and pick-and-roll combination, and also seized the biggest hole in the Spurs' defense.

The Chinese rookie's ability was even stronger than I imagined, the second quarter was stronger than the first, the third quarter was stronger than the second...... ** Vic's mind kept replaying Addison's ground-hitting pass that broke the bag, and the kind of precision and timing that can be called the pinnacle made the old coach couldn't help but be stunned. Previously, ** Vicky had already given this Chinese rookie a lot of praise, but now it seems that he still underestimated Addison's ability.

Although the margin was reduced to two points, the Spurs still fell into a positional battle, and a team that didn't even know what impatience was was going to be able to change tactics just because the score was close was imminent.

Parker and Ginobili made a transmission of the ball from the three-point line, the French point guard ran to the wing with Addison, and Ginobili held the ball close to the top of the arc to face James. Ennis's marking. The Argentine demon knife slowly dribbled to the right side of the top of the arc, and he keenly observed that Leonard took advantage of the counterrun and then suddenly turned to shake off Chris. Bosh cut inside the box and immediately sent the basketball inside like a cannonball!

Manu. Ginobili is also very good at passing the ball in depth, with speed and no warning. Ennis didn't have time to reach for a steal. Of course, such a pass could have deceived his teammates as well, but Leonard was very focused and caught the pass.

Leonard, who hit the inside, saw Whiteside's hideous expression that he didn't take the foul seriously at all under the basket and hesitated, and at the last moment of the game, the referee would not easily blow the foul to the player, thinking of this, Leonard gave up the intention of forcibly causing damage, attracted the attention of Whiteside's defense and passed the ball to Duncan, who was mentioned in the high position.

"Smack!! The sudden crisp sound made Leonard, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but expose his shock and panic, Duncan, who was in a high position, only received invisible air in his hands, and a yellow-skinned figure wearing a Heat away jersey grabbed the basketball knife before the 'Stone Buddha'!

"Steal! God, fatal steal!! "Kenny. Smith shouted, "The Spurs are likely to pay for their oversight!! ”

Tony. Parker couldn't believe his eyes, he originally took Addison to run to the wing just to prevent this Chinese rookie from participating in the defense, but he never expected that the other party would dare to let go of himself to help defend and steal?! What if Duncan had just received a pass before he did? With the ability of the 'Stone Buddha', he will definitely pass the ball to Parker who is in the empty position as soon as possible!

But it's all if...... Addison had managed to intercept the basketball, and the Heat point guard pulled the ball up with his right hand and turned around, temporarily freeing himself from Duncan's pressing, and then pushed the basketball straight to the front court with both hands......

Ginobili couldn't catch up with James, who had developed a habit of going fast, no matter what. Ennis's young small forward led the Spurs' half. Ennis, who had already fought all over the court, didn't have much physical strength to perform a violent dunk, and simply pressed the basketball into the basket with one hand.

"Drip !!" The referee's shrill whistle followed, and Vic called a timeout and took the board from the assistant coach with a frown.

"Great job! Addison! First of all, I'm not favoring the Heat, but Addison's surprise steal and long throw this time is too beautiful!! Buck defended himself with an apparently elated expression, but it didn't do much, and many Spurs fans watching the live broadcast had already begun to curse the big fat man with inconsistent words and deeds, "The Heat tied the score in one minute!" This is definitely not what ** Vicky wants to see! ”

***

"1 minute! We only had 1 minute! Instead of turning on the 'hair dryer' mode like Leonard, Vicky said to all the players, "I just need the success rate now, no matter what kind of offensive method, just score the ball!" As soon as we are ahead, we will play foul tactics on Whiteside!

"Remember, the most important thing is that the next round must be done! As long as there is a lead, everything is easy to solve! ”

Spoelstra was also emphasizing the importance of success to his players, but he never expected Vic to start playing his starting center......

Knowing that the referee began to come and urge, the players of both sides returned to the field, and the managers of both teams did not make any substitutions, and the field was the strongest lineup they could put out.

Tony. Parker dribbled to the top of the arc amid the shouts of the Holy City supporters, and he could only be seen as decent in this game under Addison's defense. The French point guard didn't let Duncan bring it up, but called on Leonard to cover himself.

Bosh simply switched Tony. Parker, Addison rolled over and stuck in front of Leonard at the first time. While the small forward has a wide range of offense and strength, he's at least not as tall as Duncan, making it easier to entangle.

Leonard wanted to go down and look for opportunities, but Addison stayed by his side, constantly struggling in positions so that Parker couldn't find a chance to play the ball forward. Parker had to give up the pass to Leonard and instead break through Bosh. 'Dragonlord' did a good job of changing guards, keeping up with Parker's footsteps and not allowing him to find a chance to break inside.

Time was running out when Ginobili in the bottom corner suddenly rushed towards the 60° position on the flank. Parker cleverly flipped the ball to the Argentine Devil. Ginobili received the ball and made a sharp stop, holding the ball forward with both hands and bouncing it forward to force James back. Ennis, and then made a decisive shot from beyond the three-point line.

Ennis's block was a beat slower than Ginobili's, but he still saw the basketball across the box and into the net......

Spurs fans were in a frenzy, with roars and cheers filling every corner of the stadium. 37-year-old Manu. Once again, Ginobili made a meritorious contribution at a critical moment, and this old fellow, whom Vicky called 'an angel and a demon', was as fierce and sharp as ever, as precise and deadly as his nickname 'Spirit Snake'.

Addison signaled to Ennis immediately after the opponent's goal, hoping to sneak up on a transition attack while the Spurs were rejoicing over the goal. But before he could rush up with the ball, the referee's whistle sounded first.

Tim. Duncan blatantly fouled Whiteside, who was off the ball, and grabbed the Heat's young center with a blank look on his face. Addison slapped the basketball in his hand when he saw this, and the switch sneak attack failed, and he could see the Spurs' intentions at a glance.

"Sh*t......" Spoelstra on the sidelines cursed in a low voice, at this time if he couldn't see what ** Vic was thinking, he wouldn't have to be the head coach.

This old guy actually used all the tricks that hurt him?! "Chop" Whiteside...... Since joining the Heat, the Heat center has only shot about 50 percent from the free-throw line, and the coaching staff has not focused on training him in this area. Spoelstra was worried that Whiteside, who had never experienced such a scene, would be out of sorts if he had missed even 50 percent of his free throw attempts......

As it turned out, the manager's fears were not unfounded, as the Miami man had just finished serving the ball at halftime when Whiteside was fouled again. However, this time the person who fouled him turned into Leonard, who also put on a wooden and calm face, and saw that Whiteside was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

The Heat center, who walked to the free-throw line, was disturbed by the strongest boos from the Spurs fans since the opening kick-off, and Whiteside took a deep breath and took the basketball from the referees.

"Bang Bang !!" The basketball thrown is ridiculously slanted and pops off the side basket. Whiteside shook his head helplessly, trying to adjust the strength of his shot on the second free throw, but the basketball still smashed the basket, only this time to smash the other side of the basket.

Spoelstra folded her arms over her chest, her brow furrowed fiercely. He could see that Whiteside's psychology was seriously affected......
