Chapter 354: A Goal to Decide the Championship!
Popovich called a timeout, and he was going to lay out the final attack!
With that goal, the Spurs could almost take the championship!
Li Wei is arranging defense.
At times like these, he believes the Spurs are either David Robinson singles or Duncan singles!
At the last minute, everyone is nervous, and only the easiest way to score is the safest, safest, and most effective!
What's more, the Spurs have no shortage of superstars, and they have what it takes to finish games!
"Who's going to defend David Robinson?" Li Wei asked.
"Of course, it's still my defense!" Garnett is the only one.
Li Wei nodded and said, "Okay, Kevin, you have been doing a good job today, don't panic at critical moments, just defend as usual." Who wants to defend Tim Duncan? ”
"Me!" Big Ben was the first to raise his hand.
"I want to guard against it too!" Da Bo raised his hand for the second time.
Nowitzki raised his hand for the third!
Seeing Nowitzki raise his hand, Li Wei nodded.
His idea was to let Nowitzki continue to defend, Duncan was injured, usually floating, and the other two were too short to interfere with. And Big Ben and Big Bo are both free throw pit goods, in case they grab a rebound and are fouled, the picture is too beautiful to watch.
Nowitzki is the future of this team, how can he not stay on the pitch in the final moments?
"Duncan's knee is not good, I guess I can only shoot, let's leave it to Dirk. Dirk, don't panic, just do your best to prevent it. Dabo, you go to defend Elliott, Charlie, Avery Johnson is yours, we use today's second set of defensive plans, don't change the defense when you encounter a block, try to prevent a breakthrough! ”
"Yes!" The crowd replied.
Back from the timeout, Spurs serve!
Avery Johnson receives the ball and Charlie Ward defends him to death!
The little general didn't panic, but kept holding the ball outside to shoot the ball, he was wasting time!
The Spurs want to play this 24-second full time so that the Knicks don't get too much time left!
With seven seconds left on the offensive clock, Avery Johnson finally made a pass!
All five players on the Spurs court are now pulled apart, with David Robinson in the left waist position and Duncan in the right corner position!
Avery Johnson wanted to pass the Admiral, but Garnett realized it, and the two were completely twisted and not very easy to catch!
So, Duncan on the right side receives the ball!
Nowitzki saw Duncan catch the ball, and immediately threw up his arms and pushed hard. This is an era when pushing people without foul play, and only by pushing hard can you interfere with the other party to the greatest extent!
Duncan has a knee injury, how can he push forward against Nowitzki, he hesitated slightly, and made a step-back jumper!
Costas said: "Duncan shot, he shot a long-range two-pointer!" ”
Doug Collins said: "He made a bit of a hasty shot, but it's time to attack!" ”
Nowitzki raised a hand to interfere with Duncan's shot, but unfortunately it didn't!
Then this long two-point smashed on the rebound and bounced into the basket!
The entire Alamo Arena fans jumped up and cheered!
Kostas said: "Beautiful board goal! Duncan actually scored the last goal! ”
Doug Collins said: "It's a quasi-lore, 95-97, the Spurs lead!" ”
Costas said: "The referee is checking the remaining time...... With two seconds left, there are only two seconds left for the Knicks! ”
Doug Collins said: "Let's see what the Knicks are going to do next. In 2 seconds, just enough for one shot, the Spurs have won again, and the Black Eight New York Knicks, who have been creating miracles, can they create miracles again? ”
The Knicks called a timeout!
This was the team's last timeout, and Li Wei knew he had to decide who would make the last throw!
If the last shot can be scored, the Knicks will take the game to overtime or win the championship. If the shot is missed, then the glory will belong to the San Antonio Spurs!
Who will execute the last vote?
Li Wei's gaze swept over everyone in the team!
Marksman Alan Houston has been the Knicks' first choice for his final shot, but he was very iron today!
Garnett was defending David Robinson all the time, he was not as tall or heavy as others, and now he was tired and out of breath!
Stephen Jackson is super god in front today, but he is super ghost in the back, and he doesn't go in a row!
Dirk Nowitzki has just been hit by Duncan's headshot, and his mentality is a little unstable, if he misses the shot again, will it affect his confidence, and then affect his entire career?
Moreover, he is only a rookie now, and if he executes the last shot, will the veteran players on the team have an opinion?
Nash did well today, but he's too short to score a final shot against a defender?
On the sidelines, the commentator was also discussing who Li Wei would choose to execute the last shot!
Costas said: "Doug, if you encounter a situation like today, with only 2 seconds left, a goal is a matter of life and death, the winner wins the championship, and the loser goes home, will you choose a three-point strategy or a two-point strategy?" ”
Doug Collins said: "If the Knicks choose a three-point shot, they can win or lose by one shot, but we also have to take into account that the probability of a three-point goal is relatively low, and it is easy to bet and lose." If you score a two-point goal, you can only go to overtime, but the probability of scoring is relatively high.
If it were me, I would devise a tactic that can shoot both threes and twos, and the player who serves will decide whether it is a three-point or a two-pointer. If there is a chance to shoot a two-point shot, then it must be a two-point shot, and if there is no good chance for a two-point shot, then it can only be handed over to the outside player to shoot a three-pointer! ”
"It's also a good way to leave the decision to the players, because the situation on the pitch is changing quickly and the coach can't take everything into account," Kostas said. Doug, next question, if you were Coach Lee, who would you give the last shot to? ”
Doug Collins said: "It's definitely going to be given to Garnett or Houston, and at that point, you have to give the ball to the star of the team, and if you let the role players shoot it, the lead players will definitely have an opinion." ”
Costas said: "But today Houston is very inaccurate, and he can't shoot repeatedly!" ”
Doug Collins said, "That can't be helped. Even if Houston didn't score all game, he was still the Knicks' top scorer, and I think Coach Lee has to give him credit. You see Duncan has a knee injury today, and he played with an injury, and Popovich still handed over the key ball to him, and the star of the house is to dominate the game at such a critical moment. ”
Costas said: "Duncan really interpreted the word superstar very perfectly today, especially the few goals that turned the tide at the last moment, which were completely heroic!" ”
Doug Collins said: "If the Spurs win the championship, he will be the MVP of the Finals!" ”
On the other side of the world, Teacher Song and Director Zhang were also chatting.
Zhang instructed: "Duncan, this player is really terrible, he plays with an injury, and the key ball is scored when he says it!" ”
Teacher Song said: "Coach Zhang, how do you think the Knicks should play?" ”
"I think the Knicks should shoot three points, and the last shot must be given to Da Yao to shoot. If you think about it, Houston and others today have no feelings, only Stephen Jackson is accurate, but Jackson is not good behind him, digging a big hole for the team, and he can only find someone else who is good at three-point shooting. Da Yao is very good at shooting three-pointers, and he is tall and not easy to be blocked, so it is safest for him to vote! ”
Teacher Song said: "Thank you for the wonderful analysis of Director Zhang, the timeout is up, let's see how the Knicks execute this last shot!" ”
Director Zhang suddenly shouted: "Ouch, Da Yao is on the field!" Did you see it, Da Yao is on the field! ”
