Chapter 140: A supersonic battle of life and death
Game 3 of the first round of the noisy playoffs has officially begun, and the Rockets are easily repairing the Timberwolves.
The situation is already clear, the Rockets can completely let the Timberwolves who play soy sauce go home, and the third game is basically a matter of going through the motions.
However, the most fierce battle in the West is the battle between the SuperSonics and the Spurs. It is also unlucky for the SuperSonics, with the same record as the Lakers, but for the relationship of the division, it ranks third, and directly faces the Spurs in sixth place.
It would be better if it was fourth, after all, the overall strength of the current Suns is still a little worse than that of the Spurs.
No way, let's fight, who let us run into it.
The SuperSonics were very unfortunate to encounter an explosive Barkley in the final quarter of the first game, hitting five three-pointers in a row and scoring 22 points in a single quarter, and the SuperSonics lost the first game with a tragic 108-101, giving the Spurs the lead.
In the second game, the supersonic did not dare to be careless at all after the start, strengthened the defense of Barkley, effectively cut off the opponent's internal and external contact, and isolated the opponent's scorers.
In the end, he won the second game with difficulty.
Although 98:89 won by 9 points, the Spurs' toughness also made the SuperSonics suffer enough.
Today, it's the third game, which can also be said to be the decisive game, whoever wins this game will win the match point, and whoever has one of his feet has already stepped into the semifinals of the West, George? Both Karl and Vic took this game very seriously.
In the supersonic locker room, George? Karl took this tactical board and explained the on-field tactics of today's supersonics. I heard him say: "Today's game is very important, and I don't want to repeat the key surname of the game with you." I'll tell you now, what we should pay attention to in this game, everyone knows that the strongest points of the Spurs are that, in the first game, we didn't limit Barkley enough, which caused him to explode in the final quarter and completely crush us. In fact, the biggest key to this is caused by our lack of restrictions on the Spurs' interior line, with David? Robinson and Duncan's inside containment, we gave Barkley a lot of space in the final game, and gave him a chance to break out. And in the second game, our inside Baker and Jim? McGee and the two men protected the interior very well, fully limiting the Spurs' interior and giving us the opportunity to limit Barkley on the outside, so we were able to win the second game. This fully shows that the inside line is the key to our victory, there is no doubt about it, and in the end I think you all understand what I think. ”
Supersonic everyone nodded and said, "Understood." ”
George? Carl also nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started, guys, we take one step forward and we will go to heaven, and one step back will be hell, you can choose for yourself, I can tell you everything I can tell you." Once you're on the court, it's up to you to play, but I'm sure the final victory will be supersonic, guys. ”
George? Karl was making the final mobilization, and the supersonic players were also cheering themselves up, shouting: "Forward, supersonic." ”
And, in the Spurs' locker room, ** Vic is also making the final tactical arrangements.
** Vicky looked at the Spurs players, took the coaching whip, pointed to the large tactical board and said: "In the first game, we were able to defeat the opponent, one of the main reasons is that David and Tim controlled the inside line, which opened up a considerable space for Charles on the outside, and added the opponent's physical strength problem, so that we won the first game, and in the second game against the SuperSonics, the SuperSonics strengthened the defense of the inside line, greatly inhibiting our inside line, resulting in the lack of our internal and external offensive and defensive chains." Therefore, the focus of this game is the competition for the inside line. Charles, your game task today will be very heavy, you need to connect the whole inside and outside today, it will be very difficult, do you have a problem? ”
Barkley nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry, coach, there's no problem." ”
Vicky nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's go and defeat the opponent, go, boys." ”
After speaking, he motioned for the Spurs players to come on the field.
The game started in such a tense atmosphere.
The players of both sides entered a tense state of play from the beginning.
The players of the SuperSonics and Spurs, all keeping in mind the instructions of the head coach, fought on the inside, Jim? McGee resisted David to the death? Robinson, Duncan and Baker were also entangled, and the two sides began to fight on the inside without giving an inch.
There was also a special person on the sidelines today to watch the game.
That's Tiger the boss of the Rockets? Jones, is he accompanying Amy? Adams came to relax, the game between the Rockets and the Timberwolves was nothing to watch, the Rockets were like a strong man bullying a minor, and the combat effectiveness was not on the same level at all. Therefore, Tiger chose a city that is closer to Houston, and the strength of the two sides is relatively close to play a more exciting team, so Tiger and Amy came to San Antonio to watch the third game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs.
Without alarming the Spurs club, the tickets for the front row of the two games were sold, and Tiger and Amy began to enjoy the two-person world.
Tiger looked at Amy and said with a smile: "Honey, I was going out with you to relax, but I didn't expect you to come and watch basketball with me." ”
Amy smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, Tiger don't say that, after leaving you for so long, it's easy to have free time, shouldn't I spend more time with you." ”
Tiger was happy when he heard it, and said: "Hehe, our Amy is now a strong woman, it was originally a man to accompany a woman, but when you become a woman and accompany a man, why aren't you afraid that I will steal it." ”
Amy gave a big roll of the eyes and said, "If you dare to steal fish, I will tie a bow on your little brother and see how you steal fish." ”
Tiger pursed his lips and said, "Amy, you always say bow, bow, what the hell is that thing." ”
Amy glanced at the crowd around her and whispered in Tiger's ear, "It's to smear the Hindu god oil on your little brother, and when it works, make a knot inward, I usually call this a bow." ”
After hearing this, Tiger immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart: I didn't expect that this girl is still a fierce character, if something really happens outside in the future, buddy will be unlucky.
Amy looked at Tiger's cold sweat and embarrassed face, and covered her mouth for a happy meal.
Then he pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, Tiger, what's wrong with you, why are you sweating all over your head, are you sick?" ”
Tiger was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, no, dear, I'm fine, don't worry, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine." ”
Amy asked deliberately, "Yours are really okay." ”
Tiger nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "It's really okay, it's really okay, let's watch the game outside, the game has already begun." ”
Tiger quickly changed the subject, but fortunately, the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs had begun.
Amy also shifted her attention and began to watch the players on the field play.
The game between the Spurs and the SuperSonics was in a state of white-hot heat from the first second.
The fierce inner struggle between the two sides is the focus of both sides today, the combination of Duncan and Robinson, which can be called the most powerful interior combination in 10 years, still occupies a certain advantage, after the start of the game, basketball is frequently sent to the inside, David? Robinson and Duncan took turns attacking the supersonic inside.
For a while, the supersonic inside line was in turmoil, and other supersonic players did not take turns to return to the inside line to assist in defense.
But the results of the help defense were not very good, and in the first quarter of the game, Duncan and David? Robinson and the two combined to score 19 points, leaving all the home fans ecstatic.
At the end of the first quarter, Vicky vs. Duncan and David? Robinson expressed high praise.
** Vicky said: "It's so good, guys, you're so good, you guys have been very good in the whole quarter of the game, and although Payton scored 10 points in the first quarter, he may keep it that way, continue to attack their interior and let them know that we're good, Charles is also doing a very good job, the inside and outside are very good, okay, just do it, break them down, let's get to the semifinals." ”
After that, let the Spurs players play.
The supersonic players were on the bench, and they were well beaten by George? Karshin was reprimanded.
George? Karl said: "What are you going to do, you don't want to lose the whole series, do you want to go home like this, if you don't want to, give me some spirit, you must increase the intensity of the Spurs' interior defense, don't be afraid, it's useless to be afraid, Beck, McGee, you two must go up to the top to know, don't be afraid of fouls, this is the playoffs, you know this is the playoffs." ”
The supersonic players are all with their heads down, ready to give their opponents a good look.
Looking at the situation on the field, Amy, who was watching the game from the sidelines, asked Tiger: "Tiger, my dear, look at who will win this game in the end." ”
When Tiger heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Amy, this is very difficult to say, now the Spurs have an advantage, but as long as the supersonic adjusts their tactics, they also have a chance to win, now it depends on how the two sides play their advantages on the field." ”
Amy looked at Tiger, pouted and said, "I thought you could see at a glance who wins and loses, aren't you known as an expert in basketball problems." ”
Tiger sneered, "Hehe, isn't that just bragging." ”
Amy gave Tiger a blank look, "hummed", and continued to watch the game.
Tiger also wiped the sweat from his head and continued to focus on the game.
In the second quarter of the game, the supersonic really strengthened their control of the interior line and slowly caught up with the score.
With six minutes left in the second quarter, the SuperSonics finally leveled the score.
However, Tiger, who was off the court, looked at the form of the game on the field, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He could see that the Spurs had the upper hand.
Because, the supersonic outside defense has become a huge hole, because Barkley is now also involved in the interior offense from time to time.
Now the supersonic defense of the outside line has almost been released.
Even if the 'little generals' Johnson and Negro, Jr. Jackson, no matter how low the shooting percentage is, it will be a huge threat.
If Vicky can't take his chances, he's not a good manager.
The Spurs' counterattack is about to begin.
Thinking of this, Tiger smiled cheaply and said to Amy, "Honey, shall we make a bet?" ”
Amy looked back a little strangely and asked, "What bet, Tiger, what are you going to bet on?" ”
Tiger looked at the form on the field, and pretended to be solemn and said: "My dear, let's bet on who wins or loses, and bet on who is on top and who is down at night." After saying that, he smiled.
Amy's face turned red when she heard this, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, don't regret it, hmph, I'll bet on Supersonic to win, if you lose, you can stay down there." ”
Tiger hurriedly nodded in agreement, thinking to himself: Anyway, I'm on top, or you're on top, I won't suffer, what am I afraid of.
Just after the two completed an intimate bet, the Spurs' counterattack began.
