Yes, Jin's breakthrough looks sharp, not like Meng, and his 360-degree dunk proves that his athleticism is super strong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What does this mean?

Messina took a breath unconsciously, such a Jin Feng made him dare not imagine.

"Greg, I'm really inferior to you when it comes to looking at people," Messina said sincerely.

This is Messina's heart, although Jin Feng was the first thing he paid attention to, and he persuaded Popovich to sign it.

However, he just positioned Jin Feng as a substitute player.

On the contrary, after seeing Jin Feng training for the first time, Popovich asserted that Jin Feng had great potential, and later gradually made up his mind to focus on cultivating Jin Feng.

This contrast is too obvious!

…………

On the court, Jin Feng chased the score to only 2 points after the dunk, but Harden immediately responded on the offensive end, he assisted Capela to dunk the basket, and once again extended the score to 4 points.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Spurs failed to overtake the score and still trailed the Rockets by 4 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jin Feng was substituted for a break.

And during his rest, the two teams on the field are still inseparable, and the difference is always within 5 points!

However, in the past 8 minutes of the fourth quarter, the situation on the court changed abruptly!

James Harden hit two three-pointers in a row to extend the deficit to eight points in a matter of moments.

The 8-point difference was also the largest difference between the two teams in the fourth quarter of the game, and at this moment, there were only 3 minutes left before the end of the game.

Popovich decisively called a timeout!

"Defend better, move the ball more, remember, don't shoot blindly"

This was Popovich's instructions during the timeout.

At the decisive moment, Popovich chose to believe Jin Feng, and he let Jin Feng play instead of Simmons.

On the Rockets' side, Beverley is also back on the court.

Facing Jin Feng again, Beverley became much more "well-behaved", he just silently focused on defense, instead of arrogant trash talk attacks like when the two first faced each other in this game.

First, the Spurs attacked, Parker quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, handed the ball to Leonard, and then quickly ran behind Leonard.

Leonard passed the ball to Parker again and made a pull-up jumper, and Parker made a quick mid-range shot.

"Huh"

Hit! The difference narrowed to 6 points.

The Rockets' offense is still handled by Harden, who handed the ball to Anderson on the left side when he came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line.

Anderson caught the ball and threw it, but, unfortunately, the basketball bounced off the basket a few times and still bounced out and missed.

Parker gave the ball to Aldridge, who was one step from the three-point line, and Aldridge played Anderson with his back, using his physical advantage to get past Anderson, and after Aldridge turned to the right and shot.

The shot was a bit too strong, and the basketball smashed on the back edge of the basket and missed.

However, the rebound was grabbed by Gasol, and Gasol, who grabbed the rebound, originally wanted to make a basket for a second offense, but his air was directly blocked by Capela.

At the moment of emergency, Gasol threw the ball out, and he threw it to Jin Feng on the outside.

After Jin Feng received the ball, he did not hesitate, his hand fell with a knife, and he shot three points instantly, Beverley was helpless about this, and now he seemed to have completely lost defensive confidence in front of Jin Feng.

This is not to say that the "iron-blooded" Heibei is gone, but when he was defending Jin Feng, he became a little hesitant, he was afraid that if he stuck too tightly, Jin Feng might break through directly, or because the action was too big, he was sentenced to a foul, he now has five fouls on his back, and if he fouls again, he will be sent off the game, at such a critical moment, being sent off the field is obviously not good for the team.

didn't dare to stick too tight, then, this gave Jin Feng a chance to shoot three points, and Beverley could only witness Jin Feng's shot.

Unsurprisingly, Jin Feng's three-point shot hit again, and the score was narrowed to 3 points.

"China Jin's 3 points at a critical moment, hit"

At this time, there was only 1 minute and 58 seconds left in the game.

Both teams were very defensive at this time, and with 1 minute and 7 seconds left, Beverley was finally sent off.

However, in the end, he did not get this foul from Jin Feng, but from his idol Parker.

Harden made a pass error, Parker steals a fast-break layup, and is pulled by Beverley, who is following him, and the referee blows Beverley for a shooting foul.

Beverley then left the court with six fouls and Parker was given a free throw.

Parker hit both free throws safely.

At 109:108, the Spurs trailed by just one point.

In 1 minute and 7 seconds, the difference between the two teams was only 1 point, which made the atmosphere in the Toyota Center extremely tense, and everyone almost held their breath, paying attention to the situation on the field to see who could have the last laugh.

After Parker hit both free throws, D'Antoni's side immediately called a timeout, and he wanted to use the timeout to set up a strategy.

And the Spurs are the same, Popovich points to the tactical board, and keeps arranging something.

After the timeout, the players from both teams returned to the court and the Rockets had the ball.

"When it came to the final battle, it was really nerve-wracking..."

The Spurs came directly to a full-court press, and Leonard began to defend Harden from the backcourt, but Harden's ability to control the ball is really not covered, and under Leonard's defense, he can still firmly control the ball.

After halftime, Harden did not rush to attack, but dribbled the ball back and forth at the top of the arc.

There are only 9 seconds left in the 24-second attack time!

8 seconds!

………

3 seconds!

Harden shot, he faced Leonard's defensive three-point shot, because he was afraid of Harden's ability to make fouls, so Leonard did not dare to stick too tightly, which gave Harden a chance to shoot three points.

"James Harden made a three-pointer at a critical moment, no"

Although Leonard didn't stick too tightly to Harden, his terrifying long arms still affected Harden's shooting to some extent, so Harden didn't shoot.

The rebound was snatched by Gasol with only 45 seconds left on the game.

The Spurs attacked, and after Leonard received Parker's pass from the free throw line, he didn't rush to shoot, but took the ball out of the 3-point line.

15 seconds!

8 seconds!

Facing Ariza's defense, Leonard also flew a three-pointer.

"Huh"

Hit!

109:111! Spurs overtook the score!

"Oh, kawaii deadly three-pointers, Spurs lead by 2 points, the Rockets have one more offensive chance, they still have a chance"

In the last 28 seconds, the basketball was in Harden's hands from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

At this time, no one directly fouled Harden, after all, Harden is not Howard, and his free throw ability is very good.

15 seconds!

9 seconds!

James Harden broke through, he rushed to the basket and Aldridge pounced.

Harden passed the ball and Anderson received it in the left corner.
