Chapter 128: Sabotage

There is really no way to do this, the current Rockets' offense is all done by Yao Ming on the inside and Maddie on the outside, and the other players simply don't have the ability to stand up and help these two share the burden of scoring.

Up to now, except for Maddie and Yao Ming, no one in the whole game has scored more than five points, and the starting players are even more weak, Juwan Howard has shot ten in front of Duncan, only two have been scored, and only five points have been scored, which is already the highest score except for Yao Mai, Sula has made 7 shots, but only two goals have been scored, and only four points have been scored.

Bowen, played 22 minutes and didn't score a point! The bench score is also more ugly today, and it is not the opponent of Devin Brown at all, looking at the situation in front of him, Jeff Van Gundy's frown is furrowed.

Originally, watching such a game, it is estimated that Jiang Yang had fallen asleep before, but now he is watching it with taste, the layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, don't underestimate Jiang Yang in the past few months, these months have made Jiang Yang from a layman who can only watch the excitement, to an insider who can watch the doorway, the so-called fans who watch the football game are basically pseudo fans.

There is no fixed supporter, whoever plays well will support whomever he wants, and Jiang Yang used to be like this.

However, it is obvious that neither the Spurs nor the Pistons are good-looking, so Jiang Yang looked a little boring in the last copy, but now Jiang Yang has joined Boston and become a member of Boston.

The Celtics are also a defensive player, integrating the usual defensive tactics of Doug Rivers into the game in front of him, Jiang Yang feels that he has benefited a lot, and the originally somewhat boring game also makes him watch it with taste.

In the first seven minutes of the fourth quarter, the Spurs, who had maintained only a slight lead, used effective defense to score nine points in a row in the eighth and ninth minutes of the fourth quarter, playing a wave of 9-0 offense**, and with three minutes left in the game, the difference was stretched to the largest of the game 73-62, stretching the score to as many as 11 points.

At this time, Maddie's kind of talented player has a particularly unique surname in his bones.

After dribbling past half court, he directly pulled out the jump shot under Bowen's defense, Maddie had already scored 20 points before this, and it was not impossible to score 20 points in Bowen's hands, but it would consume a lot of physical strength.

Just like Maddie now, when he made a move, even Jiang Yang felt that his hand shape had changed.

With such a forcible shot, the chance of getting in is almost zero, and it is really just like what Jiang Yang thought.

Maddie's shot slammed directly and smashed on the neck of the basket, and then bounced high, Duncan and Yao Ming on the inside jumped at the same time, although Duncan jumped higher than Yao Ming, but Yao Ming's height did have too much advantage.

Easily grabbed ahead of Duncan, clicked the basketball, and the basketball changed its flying direction, plunged into the basket next to him, and made up for it, and the gap of 11 points narrowed by 2 points to 9 points.

Seeing that the score was closer, Po Povic, who was outside the court, made an offensive gesture, and after Devin Brown and Duncan, who came on as a substitute for Tony Parker, made a cover, they directly wiped into the interior and wanted to make a layup, but they were directly blocked by Yao Ming, who had just made up for a goal, a big blood cap, and directly fanned the basketball from the three-second zone to the outside of the line.

Looking at Yao Ming's block, the fans at home this time had just reacted, and there was a burst of cheers on the field.

And Po Povic immediately called a timeout, a basket at a critical moment, a block, Yao Ming, a big man, has already boosted the morale of the Rockets, and he can't allow his team to make mistakes at such a critical moment.

"Devon, after a while, be steady, what I need now is to score, understand?" Obviously, at this time, he still wants to believe Devin Brown, who has scored 20 points in this game, and snapped Povich's words, Devin Brown nodded, walked to the sidelines, and followed the main players to the court again.

This time it was Devin Brown who started to receive the ball, according to Popovich's request, basically ninety percent of the ball was given to Duncan, because in the whole team, no, it should be said that the most stable player in the league is Duncan.

Duncan's 45-degree angle small hitting rate is definitely more than 60%, plus now he is facing Juwan Howard, the shooting rate is as high as more than 70%, and it is understandable to give the ball to Duncan at this time.

But if nothing else, how will Jiang Yang play? Po Povich thought of it, and Jeff Van Gundy also thought about it, so he had arranged for Juwan Howard to go around the front to defend Duncan, and Devin Brown's first impression was to pass the ball to Duncan, but after he found that Duncan was surrounded, he hesitated and rushed into the interior with the ball himself.

Indeed, he now has the second-highest score on the court after Duncan, but the second-highest does not mean that he is the second-in-command.

hit the interior again, and the result was also not good, and he was directly pressed down by substitute small forward Padgett with a big hat.

Although the ball was picked up by Ginobili next to him, he was guarded for 24 seconds because he stayed in Devin Brown's hands for too long, and watched the ball flow out of his hands.

Po Povich's face off the field is almost green, looking at Devin Brown on the field, he is no longer angry!

"Jiang, come on!" Jiang Yang, who already felt that he had never forgotten to play, was concentrating on studying tactics there, and was suddenly startled by Popovich's roar, and glanced at the people around him, after letting himself play, he quickly took off his coat and ran to the sidelines, waiting to play, and now the Spurs are indeed unavailable.

Parker's hand felt bad to a certain limit today, and he is basically impossible to play now, and Devin Brown needless to say, he was capped twice in a row, which is indeed a little brainless, and the first time to make up the hat can be said to be an accident.

But twice in a row, it can only be said that this guy owes a hat! Now that he has been defended for another twenty-four seconds, it is strange that Po Povic is not angry, and with a little regret, Devin Brown returned to the sidelines and sat back on the bench after high-fiveing Jiang Yang.

When passing by Popovich, he didn't even give this young man who had already scored 20 points a good look, which shows how much he hated these two mistakes, and Jiang Yang came to the field at this time.

Jiang Yang's main position is point guard, this position will not change, the current Spurs lineup on the court is, center Nestor Lovich, big forward Tim Duncan, small forward Bruce Bowen, scoring guard Malik Rose, point guard Jiang Yang, and at this time the Rockets' lineup is as follows, center Yao Ming, big forward Juwan Howard, small forward Padgett, scoring guard Maddy, point guard is to replace Maddy on the temporary field, only 5 feet 10 inches tall Andre Barrett, he and Jiang Yang opposite! One is only 177 centimeters and the other is 198 centimeters, a difference of 21 centimeters.

But Andre Barrett isn't scared, because he thinks he has the dexterity that the big men don't have.

It turns out that he is indeed quite dexterous, after dribbling after half the court, he directly wants to break through in the face of Jiang Yang, but is Jiang Yang so easy to break through? Jiang Yang had long known that the other party was mainly dexterous, so they had always been one and a half steps away from each other. Originally, if the height was about the same, basically less than ten centimeters, then Jiang Yang's distance was very dangerous, for example, Maddie, there are a hundred ways to buké Jiang Yang at this distance, but Barrett can't, his stature is too short, this position, unless he has Nate Robinson's bounce, otherwise just wait to be covered.

In addition, he was not ready to shoot, and looking at Jiang Yang's movements, he broke through directly.

As soon as Jiang Yang let go, after letting go of his straight line impact, he kept squeezing the opponent with his chest, and at the same time, his left hand was also underneath, pinching the opponent's waist with small movements.

Originally, he thought that there was only one black man, but who knew that Jiang Yang, who had just come up, was also a black man.

As a last resort, in order to maintain his balance, he had to hold the basketball in his arms, and then walked two steps with his usual surname, at this time he didn't throw the basketball but also threw it, because he was Jiang Yang's big body board in a gear, and he couldn't see any other teammates at all, at this time he could only see the basket, and helplessly threw the basketball to the basket, and Jiang Yang was waiting for this opportunity, Jiang Yang was like a helicopter, flying up directly, and the right hand without small movements could be raised high for the first time, happened to stop on the route of Barrett's basketball, and with a slap, like a fly swatting a fly, he slapped the basketball directly, and Sura next to him picked a leak, just jumped and shot, Jiang Yang came again!

Jiang Yang is actually also blind, his defense is only B+, and he mainly focuses on the outside line and defense.

Like something like a cover, Jiang Yang is basically blindfolded, like the one just now, Barrett's height is too short.

And this Sula's, Jiang Yang originally just wanted to interfere, but Sula threw the ball directly into Jiang Yang's hands.

What else is there to say, Jiang Yang directly slapped the basketball down, at this time Duncan next to him picked it up directly, and then handed a long pass to Marik Rose, who made a layup with Padgett and was covered again, Padgett didn't score a point today, but there were two blocks, I have to say that today is a big block delivery, after Bowen grabbed the basketball, he tried the jump shot, but he didn't score, and in turn, Lasu's jump shot also didn't score, and was pushed to the rebound by Bowen, and after handing it to Duncan, Duncan advanced to the front court, Turning around at a forty-five-degree angle, Yao Ming couldn't let Duncan score at this time.

can only foul, and Duncan's free throws are not very sharp, one of two free throws, 74-64, and at this time there is 1 minute 02 seconds left before the game, the difference between the two sides is ten points, it can be said that the Rockets basically have no chance at this time.

Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout and brought on Barrett for Maddie in preparation for the final game.

At the beginning of the game, Juwan Howard handed over the basketball to Maddie and let Maddie play alone, Maddie faced Ginobili, a quick breakthrough, he broke through the defense of Ginobili, which was not very good, and rushed into the interior, but under Duncan's defensive pressure, he could only shoot quickly, but unfortunately the ball shot a little off, and the basketball fell out directly on the rebound, but in the position of the interior center, Yao Ming's height is not comparable to Nestor Lovevic.

After grabbing the rebound directly, jump again and dunk the basketball! It was his second frontcourt rebound in three minutes, and it was all scored! On the other hand, on the Spurs' side, Bowen made a very big mistake at a critical moment.

After being stealed by Padgett, the latter dunked directly, and the score narrowed to 74-68!

With only a six-point deficit remaining, and with 47 seconds left in the game, the foul was set in motion, and this time it was Ginobili who made both free throws, leaving the Houstonians with 44 seconds left to challenge an eight-point deficit.

"It's almost time!" Thinking that this game was Maddie's battle for the right name, Jiang Yang couldn't help but look at the time in front of him.

He remembered very clearly that the most glorious moment of Maddie's life was this game, the legendary 33 seconds and 13 minutes were born in this game, and what Jiang Yang needed to do was to destroy Maddie's offense!

Watching the opponent serve, after Sula dribbled past half court, he handed the ball to Maddy, who had been 8 of 25 shots and 1 of 8 three-point shots, looked at the time, and made a dry jump shot directly in front of Ginobili.

The basketball drew an arc very accurately, and then fell straight into the basket, three points! There are five points left in the difference.

At this time, there were exactly 33 seconds left before the end of the game, Jiang Yang knew that the wheel of history was already turning, but if it wanted to move on, it had to ask Jiang Yang if he agreed!

The Spurs sent the ball out, this time it was still Ginobili who made free throws, Ginobili hit two free throws again, the ball went to the front court, and it was still in Maddy's hands, Maddie just received the ball, Duncan, who received Po Povich's instructions, ran to Maddy's side to help defend as soon as possible, but Maddy's feeling today came, and he jumped again directly outside the three-point line.

'Brush! This crisp sound stimulated the nerves of the Spurs players, and then the referee's whistle exacerbated this feeling, 3+1, Maddie scored a goal, did not cause Duncan's foul, and added a steady shot.

It only took two dribbles to the frontcourt, and the Rockets had gone from eight points behind to just three points!

At this time, the Spurs immediately asked for a timeout, and after the timeout, Padgett found an opportunity to foul Duncan, but Duncan's rare free throws today were outraged, and after two free throws and two hits, there were 16 seconds left.

With five points left behind, Houston called a timeout, and after a 30-second timeout, it was that person and that No. 1 again, and he went straight to the outside to pull out three points again, and the basketball rushed into the basket with reluctance.

10 points, with 11 seconds left in the game, Maddie had already scored 10 points in the final moments.

With two points left, the Spurs are about to lose, and the benches on the sidelines are a little unwilling to close their eyes.

Duncan looked helplessly at Maddie, who was celebrating the victory of the game in the distance, at this time the Spurs had no timeout, so they needed to play according to the original arrangement of Pop Povich, Pop Povich's arrangement is like this, continue to use the pass to consume time, Duncan also did this, Duncan, who served on the outside, originally wanted to give the ball to Ginobili, but Ginobili was seen dead by the Rockets players, and he could only give the ball to Bowen.

At the moment when Bowen received the ball, a little black hand, with lightning speed and the bell ringing to prevent the world from being full of love You are not negotiable, took the basketball down directly, and it was the hateful No. 1 again.

The moment he received the basketball, Maddie had already rushed to the three-point line, and when he saw Maddie rushing here, not only Popovich, but also the players on the court, and most of the fans on the sidelines raised their hearts to their throats!

All looked at Maddie in front of him nervously, and Maddie still looked relaxed, two steps, he had come to the three-point line, just when he wanted to pick up the ball, jump high and hit the basketball, a person suddenly appeared behind him, hugged Maddie who was running forward, directly limited Maddie outside the three-point line, and the referee's whistle also sounded, black No. 66, hugging foul, white No. 1, on the free throw line!

Seeing the referee's gesture, Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, he had originally thought about blocking Maddie or something like that at the last moment.

But if you think about it, it's impossible, but not being able to be a heroic image doesn't necessarily mean that you can't destroy Maddie's wonderful moment like a ruffian, so Jiang Yang has been waiting for Maddie's last ball.

When the last ball was released, Maddie ran behind Bowen, and Jiang Yang had been preparing for the foul.

Sure enough, Maddie didn't let Jiang Yang wait for a long time, as soon as he arrived, Duncan passed the ball out, and it happened to be stealed by Maddie.

The next thing was much easier, and when Maddie wanted to shoot, Jiang Yang directly pounced and hugged him.

At this time, Maddie's last three points did not shoot, and he could only get a foul, and glanced at Jiang Yang lightly, Maddie came to the free throw line, and now there is only 2 points on both sides, if this goal is scored, then Maddie can almost be said to have killed the Spurs, because now there are only three seconds left in the end, three seconds of time, three seconds of time, counting the time when the basketball flies, the time when the basketball goes into the basket, it is almost consumed, and Jiang Yang's foul at the critical moment has played a very big role, With a smirk on his face, Maddie walked onto the free throw line, and Popovich's face slowly improved.

Two free throws, the big deal is that the Rockets equalized the score, and the Spurs still have a chance, and if they can't make a kill, they can still play overtime!
