Chapter 141: A Step Cliff
Just as Tiger and Amy's sweet bet was taking effect, the Spurs called a timeout and the Spurs' perimeter group began to speak.
'Little General' Johnson hit an easy three-pointer with no one to defend.
Seeing this happening, George? Karl's heart immediately lifted.
As a coach, he now knows that his team's defense on the outside is almost a decoration, there is really no way, the twin towers of the Spurs' interior, coupled with Barkley's attacks on the interior from time to time, the supersonic's defensive formation has been compressed very deeply.
In this way, the defense on the outside is basically abandoned.
This is also because the Spurs' outside line has no talent pitcher to rely on, if there is such a character, kill George? Karl didn't dare to do that.
And Tiger on the sidelines, seeing this situation, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker.
On the court, as soon as Payton saw this situation, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "It's okay, we still have one of them, don't rush, take your time." ”
After speaking, he took the serve from the baseline and quickly advanced to the Spurs' three-point line.
The 'little general' Johnson has already followed this guy, Johnson knows very well the toughness of this guy in front of him, as long as he is careless, this guy will steal your victory.
Payton took a look, and the situation in front of him, a sudden start, straight into the inside line on Johnson's right side.
Seeing this, David? Robinson took a sharp step upwards to block Payton's breakaway.
But Peyton was Peyton after all, and he rushed directly at Robinson without letting go, and jumped up with his body twisted against Robinson.
A small throw with one hand, the right wrist threw the ball out very softly, and the left hand leaned forward, just with David? Robinson's hands that tried to block collided.
With the sound of the basketball falling to the net, the referee's whistle also sounded.
A very successful "2+1".
Payton successfully stabilized the situation on the court in his own way, and with 4 minutes left in the second quarter, he successfully made a foul and put the temporary David ? Robinson asked for it, because after this foul, Robinson had already committed three fouls.
In order to protect the players, Vicky can only put David? Robinson replaces, replaced by Sean? Elliott, who pushed Duncan to the center position, and Elliott played power forward.
Payton made steady free throws, then began to quickly retreat to prevent the opponent's fast break.
With David? Robinson's downfall, the Spurs' pressure on the supersonic interior, has dropped a lot.
In this way, the supersonic defense of their own outside line is much calmer, and the Spurs' outside gun group has also appeared dumb.
Once again, the two sides were at a stalemate.
The last few minutes of the game were also idle.
Both sides were waiting for half-time to end and then returning to the dressing room to study how to deal with their opponents in the first half.
In this back and forth, the time came quickly.
The first half ended in a draw.
46:46 The two sides are still at the same starting point, and the second half of the battle will determine the final outcome of the game.
Tiger, who was watching the game on the sidelines, walked to the public smoking area outside the stadium, lit a cigar and smoked it leisurely.
Some of Tiger's memories of his past life slowly surfaced in the midst of the clouds and mist.
Just as he was recalling, Amy also walked out, looking at the loneliness on the face of Tiger who was smoking in the smoking area, not only his heart churned, but this man's story was not the only one he said.
Amy walked up and said softly to Tiger, "Honey, what's wrong with you. ”
Tiger saw that it was Amy, gently snuffed out the fire on the cigar, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I think of something and feel something." ”
Amy stepped forward and gently grabbed Tiger's arm and said, "How do you feel, can you tell me?" ”
Tiger smiled and said, "Some time ago, I received a message that there may be a racial incident in Southeast Asia, and I was a little worried. ”
Amy was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Southeast Asia, that country in Southeast Asia, if such a thing breaks out, will there be many people who will lose their homes and jobs, and their lives will be greatly affected." ”
Tiger shook his head and said, "No, as far as I know, there may be a lot of people who will lose their lives. ”
Amy's eyes widened and she said, "Is this true, Tiger, don't scare me." ”
Tiger smiled bitterly: "This is a matter related to many people's lives, will I scare you with such a thing." ”
Amy looked at Tiger wistfully and said, "Tiger, can you stop these things from happening?" ”
Tiger looked into Amy's eyes and whispered, "Amy, I'm just a rich man, and there are some things I can't solve, but we can help them and reduce their losses." ”
Amy blinked her eyes and said solemnly, "Tiger, I'm going, I'm going to help them personally." ”
Tiger was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately objected, saying: "No, I won't let you go, that's too dangerous, those indigenous monkeys, if you go crazy, they don't care if you are an American or not." ”
Amy still said so firmly: "No, Tiger I'm going, I'm going to help those in need, and this is a good opportunity for our foundation to expand its influence, I won't let it go, I must go." ”
Tiger looked at the woman he loved deeply, and this woman's eyes flashed with a kind of human name, that firmness, that kind of persistence.
Looking at such a look, Tiger gave in and said with difficulty: "Amy, I agree with you to go, but I will send the best security personnel to protect you, they will follow you 24 hours a day, and I will notify the local US embassy and ask them to contact the local political axe to provide you with security, and I will not allow you to go into danger by yourself, if you agree, I will let you go, otherwise, you will invite God out, and I will not let you go." ”
Looking at Tiger's anxious, loving and tender eyes, Amy was completely intoxicated and said, "I listen to your Tiger, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely, I can't bear you." ”
Looking at the beauty with her hands around her arms, Tiger was full of chagrin, why did she say this, if she didn't know, then she wouldn't go, if something really happened, what should I do.
Thinking of this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Tiger's eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: Whoever dares to hurt Amy is even the king of heaven, and I can't let him eat and walk around.
Thinking of this, Tiger smiled at Amy and said, "Honey, let's go, let's go watch the game first, and then discuss this matter, okay?" ”
Amy nodded, and continued to watch the game as Tiger continued to watch.
At halftime, the head coaches of the Spurs and SuperSonics continued to explain to their players what to expect on the court.
The halftime time was very fast and slow, the manager laid out the tactics, and it passed very quickly, while the spectators on the sidelines felt very slow, although there were Spurs cheerleaders and some halftime performances, but the fans still felt that the time passed very slowly.
However, with players from both sides on the court, the second half of the Spurs vs. SuperSonics game officially began.
In the second half, after the start, the Spurs continued to attack the supersonic interior.
However, after the start of the second half, the supersonic interior defense, who had given up on the man marking, began to defend the area.
In the supersonic offense, the supersonic pulled wider and had a greater impact on the interior, with Payton, Ellis, and Hawkins taking turns attacking the Spurs' interior.
Barkley, who is forced to do so, can only continue to fill in on the inside.
And once Barkley recycles the inside line, the supersonic forward group turns on their own firepower.
Within 5 minutes of the second half, the SuperSonics launched a 14:6 attack wave, which stretched the score of the two sides by eight points at once.
The Spurs, who were caught off guard, quickly called a timeout and arranged how to expand the defensive area in order to suppress the opponent's attack.
After making arrangements for surnames, Spurs slowly approached the score again.
The two sides are in a tug-of-war, and both sides are looking for an opportunity to break the deadlock.
Whoever can find such an opportunity first will depend on the level and vision of the managers of both sides.
Vicky and George? Karl is trying hard to find the flaws in his opponent.
The two sides were entangled in this way to the end of the third quarter of the game.
72:70 The scores of the two sides continued to be scorching.
During the break in the third quarter, Vicky smiled at Barkley and said: "Charles, is the first three quarters suffocated, after the start of the fourth quarter, your task is to attack, attack, and attack, the SuperSonics think that your defense is very successful, let the supersonic boys, look at the power of our 'Jazz'." ”
Barkley bared his teeth and said, "I wanted to open fire for a long time, but it suffocated me." ”
Vicky laughed and said, "Okay, then let's fire on all cylinders." ”
At the start of the fourth quarter, Barkley suddenly increased his offensive power, using his power to constantly run over Schramf and attack the basket.
After scoring eight points in a row, the SuperSonics had to start a flanking attack on Barkley.
However, once the flanking attack was made on Barkley, then the two points of attack on the inside were leaked.
The Spurs will increase the pace of attacking the opponent's interior, David? Robinson and Duncan continued to attack in turns.
However, as soon as the supersonic speed shrinks inward, the exposed spur outside line can also effectively combat the supersound.
In this way, supersonic is completely caught in a dead loop, and supersonic is tormented by pain.
Looking at the situation on the field, Tiger, who no longer had the heart to watch the game, just looked at it in a daze, thinking about how his lover could not be hurt in that environment.
And Amy, who was beside him, was sometimes cheering and sometimes lamenting with the change of form on the field, completely ignoring what he just said.
Looking at the lover around him, Tiger's heart was even more uncomfortable.
Just when Tiger, who was watching the game from the sidelines, blamed himself, the game between the Spurs and the SuperSonics had reached the final moment.
Now the Spurs are leading by 3 points, and when the SuperSonics had nothing to do with the Spurs' offense just now, the SuperSonics chose to continue the offense, hoping that if they could not see the opponent on the defensive end, then they would break the opponent on the offensive end.
But the Spurs' defense is just as strong, David? Robinson and Duncan, as well as Barkley's defense, also made it difficult for the SuperSonics to unfold.
In the last period of time, it was only by relying on the individual abilities of Payton and Baker to bite the score tightly.
Now the time is the last 43.5 seconds, and the supersonic will use an offensive meeting to prevent the Spurs' last attack.
The opportunity is in their own hands, and what will be the outcome of the victory.
Just look at the last 43.5.
One step of heaven, one step of hell, both sides are on the edge of the cliff.
