Chapter 157: Goodbye! spur
The fourth Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and Spurs is in its final moments, David? Robinson's six-time foul finish brought great difficulty and pressure to the Spurs.
Seeing that the Rockets were already starting to celebrate the victory, Barkley felt a wave of sadness, can we only look like this, can I only watch others win in the end, and I can only taste defeat.
The agony Barkley, looking at everything in front of him, lowered his head in frustration and waited for the end of the game.
Just when Barkley was confused, Duncan walked up to Barkley and said, "Charles, what are you thinking, the game is not over yet, we haven't lost yet." ”
Duncan usually has very few words in the team, a silent big boy, this is Barkley's evaluation of Duncan, but Duncan's outstanding strength still wins Barkley's respect.
Looking at the big boy who was much taller than himself, Barkley shook his head and said, "Tim, we don't have a chance. ”
But Duncan shook his head firmly and said: "Man, the game is not over yet, we still have a chance, we have no way back, we can only hold on to the end." ”
After that, he had already returned to the basket and grabbed the position with Garnett to wait for the free throw from the bus.
The free throws of the bus are still relatively good, and after the two free throws are hit, the bus goes off the court and is replaced by the big Ben Rockets to quickly return to defense.
Looking at the young man who was still attacking with a straight face, Barkley's long-lost passion was adjusted.
Barkley shook his head and thought to himself: What's wrong with me, am I really giving up, no, I won't give up easily.
Thinking of this, Barkley, who had gotten rid of his confusion, walked to Duncan's side and said: "Tim, thank you, I believe you will be a great player in the future, but this game, leave it to me." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the Rocket's half court and began to attack.
Duncan looked at Barkley as he walked forward, a smile on his dull face.
Coming to the Rockets' half, Barkley took the initiative to ask for the ball. After Robinson went off the court, the only one on the court who had such full force was Barkley.
Looking at Barkley in front of him, Horry felt as if he was facing a fierce beast coming from the wilderness.
Barkley started again, but still relied on his own strength to knock away Horry and made a successful layup.
Seeing that the score was leading again, Barkley immediately retreated to his own half to start defending.
With just over a minute to go, Spurs once again took a two-point lead.
Barkley, who returned to the defense, yelled: "Guys, we have to keep this ball, as long as we keep the whole ball, we have hope." ”
The Spurs responded with a bang, and their morale soared.
By this time, the Rockets had advanced beyond the Spurs' three-point line, and the Rockets' players began to run.
However, Bodi Roga, who took the ball to organize the offense, went straight to the three-point line, and didn't look at the 'little general' Johnson in front of him, and raised his hand to make a three-point shot.
"Huh"
The basketball hit accurately, Bodi Roga looked at the 'little general' in front of him, spread his hands, and turned back to defend.
This goal was a great blow to the morale of the Spurs, and the frustration in the hearts of all the Spurs players can be imagined when they watched the score after their hard work to take the lead, and was overtaken very easily.
Barkley saw this situation, but it stimulated his emotions, and he looked at the rocket and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting, I haven't been so involved in it for a long time." ”
The Spurs continued to attack, and Barkley was once again the main point of attack.
However, this time, after Horry was knocked away, just as Barkley was about to shoot, a dark shadow burst out in front of him.
slapped it hard at the one in his hand, but Barkley, who was holding the ball, smiled, faked a real pass, flipped his wrist, and the basketball flew directly into Duncan's hand under the basket, and Garnett, who had already made up for it, had completely empty Duncan.
After receiving the ball, Duncan, without dribbling, jumped up in stride and was about to make a violent dunk.
However, a voice suddenly sounded in Duncan's ears, bursting out, "Don't you think about it." ”
A rocket player with an explosive head soared into the sky, and his powerful arm pressed directly into the basketball.
Duncan felt the power coming from basketball, and his heart was already turbulent.
That's where this kid came from, isn't he Elliott pestering? How can you catch up.
Just in Duncan's heart, the basketball in Duncan's hand had been violently covered.
And Horry, who retreated to the inside line, hurriedly grabbed the ball and held it in his arms.
With a very lethal block, the rocket quickly began to counterattack.
Bodi Roga took the ball and went straight to the Spurs' basket.
The Spurs' quickest players to retreat are newcomers Elliott and 'Little General' Johnson.
Watching Bodi Roga go to the basket, the two of them hurriedly retreated to the basket to prepare to prevent this one ball.
Bodi Roga looked at the two people who retreated the fastest, and after slowly stepping into the paint area, he took off into the air and prepared to make a layup, and Elliott and Johnson also jumped up, ready to change the Rockets for a block.
However, at this moment, Bodi Roga's wrist flipped and passed.
The two Spurs defenders looked horrified and followed the basketball to find the receiver.
Is it Ray? Aaron, this guy known as the new generation killer.
Ray who took over the basketball? Aaron, breathing steadily, held up the basketball with both hands, and pushed the basketball out with his wrist.
The basketball arced beautifully over the Alamo Arena and went straight into the hoop.
A fatal three-point shot, at this moment, the hearts of all Spurs players were completely shattered by this ball.
The morale of the Spurs has completely dropped to a low point, and all the Spurs players who have fought hard for a while have all the fatigue, frustration, and unwillingness at this moment.
With 47.4 seconds to play, the Rockets already had a four-point lead.
Looking at this goal, Ray? Aaron just clenched his fists tightly and quickly returned to the defense.
** Vicky, who was sitting on the side, was also in a trance for a while, thinking in his heart: It seems that he really lost.
At the reminder of the players on the side, the players on the court called a timeout and returned to the sidelines to wait for the head coach to lay out the final counter-attack tactics for the Spurs.
Looking at the player with an eager face, ** Vicky took a deep breath and thought: I can't fall, even if I lose, I also hold my head high to meet it.
Picking up the tactical board, Vicky explained the final arrangement.
Lao Tang was also making the final arrangements, and he heard Lao Tang say: "The Spurs will definitely choose foul tactics, you come down, you go on the bus, you must be stable, this may be the last counterattack of the Spurs, everyone must hold on, as long as we survive, then I will be the final winner of the game, and we will have the opportunity to touch the highest honor, come on, guys." ”
"Come on"
"Come on"
"Come on"
The Rockets cheered themselves up.
The game continued, and just as Lao Tang expected, the Spurs began to foul tactics.
But this tactic didn't work, and the Rockets hit consecutive free throws with 12 seconds left.
The Rockets are already eight points ahead.
The big picture was decided, and the Spurs missed two three-pointers in a row.
I could only watch as the rocket wore out the last 12 seconds.
102:94 The Rockets won a tough victory over the Spurs on the road, leading the Spurs 3:1 and getting the match point.
When time was up, Bodi Roga threw the ball to the roof with all his might.
If you don't hit someone, he doesn't care, it's a tough game, and both sides have exhausted their last bit of physical strength.
The Rockets are better, because there are more people playing, but the Spurs are different, after the game, Barkley sat directly on the floor, and his face could no longer distinguish whether it was tears or sweat.
Barkley sat there crying like a big child.
This time David? Robinson walked up and picked up Barkley and said, "Charles, don't do this, we still have a chance, and we will make a comeback next year." ”
Barkley covered his mouth and said sadly, "Man, do we still have a chance?" ”
David? Robinson put his arm around Barkley and said, "We still have a chance, we're going to win a championship." ”
The Rockets were there to celebrate because they knew they had one foot in the Finals.
Lao Tang looked at his players with great satisfaction, because they survived the most difficult moments, and victory was already ahead.
And Tiger, who was far away in Houston, watched the result of the game, and sang loudly, which scared the servants of Tiger's family to think that their boss was nervous.
The Rockets' victory in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals has laid the foundation for the Rockets to advance to the Finals.

After the game, major media are also scrambling to report that the rocket has put his body into the finals, and the score of 3:1 has established the tone of the game, as long as the rocket itself does not make mistakes, then it is no longer a suspense to enter the finals.
When the reporter asked Lao Tang what he thought of the opponent in the finals, Lao Tang said very indifferently, no matter who it is, the final victory must be ours.
made all the reporters excited, a large number of "Rockets have set their sights on the championship", "The champion coach is not afraid of the opponent" and a large number of reports.
The staff of the team brought a large number of newspapers to Lao Tang.
After reading it, Lao Tang smiled indifferently and said, "Pure." ”
On the phone, Tiger expressed his support for Lao Tang, and Tiger said: "Rudy, let it go, there is me behind, I see who dares to find death." ”
For his boss, Lao Tang really can't say anything.
In Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs and Rockets once again had a fierce confrontation.
