"Lore! Lore! ”

The Lakers had jumped on the bench and they began to celebrate the victory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the next second, the referee made a timeout gesture, and the referee decided that the game was not over, and they had to determine whether it was a stunner or a quasi-shut-up, and they had to make sure that the time had really run out when the ball went into the basket.

The referees gathered in front of the small screen, watching the video carefully, and the scene was silent, at the scene, in front of the TV, countless people were waiting for the referee's final verdict!

The referee is still confirming and discussing, and the broadcaster has already given a slow-motion replay of the goal just now.

"It looks like the ball went into the frame first!"

"That's right, the moment you score, there should still be time."

"It's going to be back to the table, it's definitely going to be back to the table, and besides, this is the home of the Spurs, so it's going to be back on the table, and the Spurs still have a chance!"

The fans at the scene also saw the slow-motion replay on the big screen, and this feeling of escaping death made them boil instantly.

The return table is very certain, the three referees have already reached a consensus, but the key is how much time should be given to the Spurs.

0.2 seconds? 0.3 seconds? 0.4 seconds? To be sure, it's definitely less than 1 second, not even 0.5 seconds.

The referee is extremely cautious, this is the seventh game of the series, and it is a goal scored at the last moment of the game, and it is related to the first 0-3 turnaround in history, at this time, if there is a controversial decision, the saliva of public opinion alone can drown these referees, so every 0.1 seconds, the referee will be careful.

Finally, the referee gave a conclusion.

"0.4 seconds! The referee returned the watch for 0.4 seconds! Judging from the video, when the ball went in, it was about this time, and this time the referee's decision was still very fair. The narrator spoke.

"0.4 seconds, it turned out to be 0.4 seconds! Have you forgotten that the Western Conference semifinals of the 2004 playoffs were also the Lakers vs. the Spurs, and that time was also 0.4 seconds! History is strikingly similar, only this time it's the Spurs who have the last 0.4 seconds! The guest next to him suddenly spoke.

Many young fans may have only heard about it from the mouths of their predecessors, while those who are slightly older have recalled the scene.

In the 2004 Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers' F4 combination was pinned on high hopes, and in the Western Conference semifinals, they met the Spurs, who won the championship last year, and in the fifth game between the two sides, the battle of Tianwang Mountain, with 11.5 seconds left before the end of the game, Kobe Bryant hit a quasi-kill, and the Lakers led 72-71. The Spurs' offense was blocked, and there were only 5.4 seconds left on the last offense, Duncan faced O'Neal's defense, and when his body lost his balance, he threw the ball in, and the Spurs took a 73-72 lead, leaving the Lakers with 0.4 seconds left.

Then, it was Fisher's 0.4-second strike that helped the Lakers win the battle of Tianwang Mountain! That stunner has been praised by fans to this day.

That kill, exactly ten years ago, it seems like a cycle, and today, the referee gave the Spurs 0.4 seconds, the same time it took Fisher to kill ten years ago.

……

0.4 seconds, which means that the ball is thrown immediately after receiving it, and there is no time to stop the ball. This was the case with Fisher's stunner, he didn't hesitate to throw the ball at the basket after receiving it, and later according to the slow-motion replay, the moment the ball was shot, there were 0.1 seconds left before the end of the game, that is, it took 0.3 seconds from receiving the ball to shooting.

At the same time, the Spurs have a choice between two points and three points. The two-point goal can tie the game, and then the two sides enter overtime, and if the three-point goal is made, the Spurs can directly overtake the score and give the Lakers a counter-kill!

And the Lakers have only one choice, and that is to go all out to defend against three points! If a two-pointer is scored, it will be overtime at most, and if a three-pointer is scored, the Lakers will lose, and it will be a complete farewell to this year's playoffs.

No one can guess what tactics Popovich will use, and it looks like a two-point shot will be more hopeful, after all, the Lakers' defense focuses on three-point shooting, but it is entirely possible that Popovich will do the opposite. Even if the Spurs chose the three-point shot, no one would question it, because it was Popovich's choice.

The game restarted, the Lakers replaced the five most athletic players, and there was only 0.4 seconds left, at this time, what kind of defense awareness, supplementary defense awareness, etc. no longer mattered, because the Spurs could no longer pass the ball, at this time it was a one-on-one man-to-man defense, and it only needed to be blocked once, so athleticism became the most important factor.

Duncan was about to serve, but before the ball could be delivered, Popovich called a timeout.

"Popovich has used this serve to test the Lakers' defensive deployment, and a short 20-second timeout is enough for Popovich to set up a new strategy." The narrator spoke.

The short 20-second timeout was fleeting, and the players were back on the court again, and this time the man who served was replaced by Ginobili.

The referee's whistle blew, and the Spurs players immediately scattered and rushed towards the open space.

I saw Danny Green run backwards, and suddenly flashed an empty spot to catch the ball.

"Watch out for Green!"

As soon as the words fell, Bazemore gave this gap to Feng Xiao, and at the same time, Leonard bowed down in a low position and stretched out his arm to catch the ball.

"Leonard has a chance!"

At that moment, Ginobili threw the ball, and instead of throwing it to the outside, he threw it directly in the direction of the basket.

"Throwing a ball high? It's an air relay! ”

Parker bent down suddenly, burst out of the gap, rushed to the basket, and jumped.

"Is it Parker? Could it be Parker's air relay! Playing an aerial relay with a point guard, who can imagine this tactic, only Popovich! ”

Whiteside immediately rushed over, believing that with his height, reach, and bounce, Parker would never be able to catch the ball.

But Parker was just a trap, and he was there to get the Lakers' attention. The other man jumped high, he appeared in mid-air, intercepted the basketball in the air with one hand, and then gently held it, and the basketball turned into a beautiful arc and flew towards the basket.

On that tall back, there is such a number printed: 21!

It's the Spurs' No. 21 rookie, Tim Duncan!

He completed the attack with an aerial relay-style one-handed throw.

The basketball is still in the air, but the lights on the rebounding frame are already on.

"Oops!" Gasol turned his head and looked at the trajectory of the basketball flying in the air, and with his intuition alone, Gasol could feel that the ball was going in.

"Poof!" The basketball goes into the basket accurately.

"In! The ball is in! 0.4 second goal, Duncan, it was Duncan, he saved the Spurs! ”

"Same as 10 years ago, 0.4 seconds goal. Ten years ago, the Lakers knocked out the Spurs in 0.4 seconds, and today, ten years later, the Spurs have given the Lakers a hard blow in the same way! It's a pity that this is a two-point shot, if it's a three-point shot, the Lakers will have to go home! ”

"Is this the Lakers paying off the debt of a 10-year-old stunner? Same 0.4 seconds, same goal. But God seems to have left a glimmer of hope for the Lakers today, tied 135-135, and then overtime! ”

"It's overtime, this wonderful battle is finally going to overtime!"

The scene instantly fell into a boil, the fans jumped excitedly, they cheered, they were extremely happy, Duncan pulled the Spurs back from the brink of death, the joy of the aftermath, the heartbeat of the last goal, it is really difficult to describe in words.

The Lakers were frustrated, they never expected that in 0.4 seconds, the Spurs would turn over and the cooked duck flew away!

D'Antoni let out a long sigh, there is really no way to meet a player like Duncan, this is the ability of superstars, they make the impossible possible. For a coach who encounters superstar performances, he may only be able to pray that his luck is just as good.

And Popovich's tactical arrangement this time is indeed good enough, Ginobili serves, Parker attracts Whiteside's attention, and Duncan uses an aerial relay throw to complete the shot, and the combination of GDP completes the offense perfectly.

D'Antoni forced himself to cheer up, and he opened his mouth to comfort his teammates: "It's okay, the game is not over yet, now we are still deciated, there is overtime, and at that time, we must beat the Spurs!" ”

……

"Don't be too happy, we haven't won yet, it's just overtime!" Popovich's face was still cold, and his words were like a basin of cold water, pouring on the hearts of the Spurs players, making them calm down instantly.

The Spurs playing at home should be more afraid of overtime, everyone knows that the home team is fighting, and the longer they play, the more advantage the home team will have. But there is another factor that the Spurs have to take into account, and that is age.

The Spurs' youth is indeed on the older side, and the "Mediterranean" on Ginobili's head can make people feel that the years are not forgiving. As for the No. 21 rookie, he is already 38 years old, and it is really difficult for him to play more than 40 minutes in the high-intensity playoffs.

It is said that the Spurs' bench can be almost the same starter, and the effect of the substitute is the same as the starter, but when it comes to the critical time, it still has to rely on the "old and undecrepit" GDP combination.

……

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse! The Spurs really deserve to be a top team, and Popovich is also worthy of being the top head coach in the NBA, at least in the tactical game just now, D'Antoni lost to Popovich. Zhang Guan looked across the field, the Spurs' GDP combination was still on the court, and the other two players were Leonard and Danny Green.

"And Duncan, is this guy really 38 years old? Rookie No. 21, that's a real name......"

……

Jump ball, overtime officially begins.
