Chapter 140: The Third Quarter Contest

"Guys, look at the Twin Towers, they've been fantastic, and the 25-point margin of 25 points after they came on the court was immediately chased down to five points. www.biquge.info With the two of them there, no one can stop the pelicans. Gentry raised eyebrows and praised the Twin Towers for their performance in the second quarter.

If the Pelicans have always been in the past, as long as they are more than 20 points behind, it is basically impossible to turn the tables again, but now that the team has Cousins, and with the performance of the Twin Towers in the second quarter just now, it is not a luxury to win by 25 points.

At halftime, Brother Thick Mei took a sip of water, and there was joy on his face, he had been in the Pelicans for so long, in addition to Holiday , he finally had another strong helper, and he didn't expect Cousins to be so strong.

Brother Thick Eyebrows once thought that he would spend his time in the Pelicans because of the inaction of the management, but looking at the current situation, he misunderstood the management.

At halftime, the third quarter began, and Bushy and Cousins returned to the court.

On the Spurs' side, Parker, Ho Dong, and Leonard are also back on the court.

In the third quarter, the Spurs served, and Parker said on the court: "Still follow the run-and-gun tactics, everyone moves!" ”

Ibaka and Diamond both pulled out to cover the pick-and-roll, and then cut inside, with Leonard and Ho Dong running around the field.

Parker broke through to the inside through the cover and slipped the ball into the inside for the inward Ibaka, who received the ball and passed it to Ho Dong non-stop, at which point He Dong had already opened up in the bottom corner.

Although Solomon Hill is active in defense as a starter, his defensive ability is completely vulnerable in Ho Dong's opinion.

He Dong's footsteps flew, and a crotch dribble behind his back easily forced Hill to succeed, and then entered the penalty area, turned his back and pressed against the body of Brother Thick Mei to enter the inside line, and finally jumped up and hit the board with all his might.

The basketball dodged the shield of the test god and hit the board.

He Dong scored two points for the Spurs, and the score came to 57-50.

When it was the Pelicans' turn to attack, Holiday used the cover to create handroom and shoot a three-point shot.

"Bang!" But a huge tower suddenly rose in the restricted area, and Cousins suddenly made a force to pick up an offensive rebound in the air and made a one-handed dunk.

Although Diamond has worked hard in the card position, there is still a gap between him and Cousins, who was completely suppressed by the latter in the penalty area, and was completed by the latter on the top of his head.

Cousins pulled back two points to make it 57-52, with the margin still five points.

Then the Spurs attacked again, He Dong received the ball outside the three-point line, several crossovers passed Hill again, entered the penalty area to attract the defense, and then flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Leonard in the mid-range position.

The latter made a decisive shot from a mid-range position, but at the moment of the shot, the angle was off and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Bushy Eyebrows picked up the defensive rebound and handed the ball to Holiday .

Holiday drove the ball to the front court, and Parker then passed the ball to the bushy eyebrows who went down.

Brother Thick Eyebrows received the ball, shook a shot, and after shaking Ibaka up, he smiled slyly, and his body was close to the latter's body to shoot.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blows, and Ibaka defends for a foul.

Brother Thick Eyebrows hit the board, and there was a penalty.

The crowd booed and tried to interfere with the penalty shot.

After patting the ball and adjusting his breathing, Brother Thick Mei raised his hand to make a free throw and hit it steadily.

The score came to 57-55, and the difference was only 2 points.

Popovich stood on the sidelines, his eyes blank, and he didn't choose to call a timeout, because he didn't have much to say now, and the game was decided by the five players on the court.

If the score is overtaken, or if there is an offensive or defensive problem on the field, it is not too late for him to call a timeout.

Parker understood the current situation, and while controlling the ball and advancing, he raised his right hand and shouted, "Don't rush too much, play hard!" ”

He Dong stepped forward to make a pick-and-roll, then cut outside to the three-point line, and Parker's pass was in place.

After receiving the ball, he once again succeeded in forcing Hill, He Dong entered the penalty area, and threw his hand in the face of the thick eyebrows who made up for the defense.

The arc was deliberately raised, and after Brother Thick Mei jumped, his raised hands failed to touch the basketball.

The feel was very soft, He Dong was very sure of this shot, and the basketball then hollowed into the net under the gaze of the audience.

He Dong stepped up and stabilized the situation for the Spurs, and the score came to 59-55. The margin widened to 4 points.

In the next few Pelicans offenses, Bushy Eyebrows and Cousins both shot and kept popping out of the frame, and the latter was rewarded with a block by Diamond.

Diamond had a little excitement on his face after capping off Kaoshen's shot, the opponent was the league's No. 1 center, and now he also capped him once.

On the other hand, the Spurs' next offense, Parker, Leonard, and He Dong each hit a three-pointer, and Ibaka also made a mid-range shot, and the score came to 70-55, and the difference widened to 15 points.

With only the last few minutes left in the third quarter, the margin reached 2 digits, and Pelicans head coach Gentry had an ugly face, but he didn't expect the Spurs' outside firepower to be so fierce, as long as the twin towers entered the low tide period when they couldn't score, the Spurs could seize the opportunity to bombard the game with a bang.

The game on the field continued, Brother Thick Mei received the ball in the low position, faced Ibaka, dribbled a step, and wanted to turn around and lean back to shoot, but at the moment when he turned around with the ball with both hands, he suddenly felt empty in his hand, and He Dong broke the ball like lightning.

Without hesitation, He Dong ran wild like a cheetah, and his prey was only one, the pelican basket.

Brother Thick Mei and Cousins couldn't catch up, Holiday was not slow, and he was standing near the three-point line before, and after seeing He Dong cut off the ball, he immediately chased after him to make up for the defense.

The two were close to each other, and Holiday was looking for an opportunity to reach out and break back, but He Dong had been very steady in his possession of the ball, and he did not give the former any chance to break the ball.

Rushing to the three-point line, He Dong suddenly held the ball with both hands, started with both feet like stepping on a bomb, stepped on the free throw line with his right foot, stepped into the restricted area with his left foot, and got rid of Holiday in two big strides in an instant. Flying one-handed tomahawk slash smash shut.

The score came to 72-55, and the margin was stretched to 17 points.

Popovich on the sidelines smiled slightly, and the five players on the Spurs did not disappoint him. The situation is still under control. He didn't have to rearrange his tactics.

Holiday had an expressionless face and a trace of helplessness in his heart, He Dong's strength is too strong, not like a rookie at all, it stands to reason that a rookie will appear in the "rookie wall" after the All-Star break, and his data and performance will decline, but this He Dong seems to be fighting more and more fiercely.

He Dong has also heard of the "rookie wall" of the evil sect, but he adheres to a belief that if there is a wall in front, it will be smashed, and if there is a ghost in front, it will kill ghosts.

When the dunk was successful, He Dong and his teammates high-fived each other, and today's run-and-bomb tactics made him really feel very cool, and he didn't need too much tactical transmission of the ball, as long as he received the ball, he could choose to end the offense, because of the fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, in the face of a slow-paced team like the Pelicans, it was easy for players on the court to have vacant opportunities. He Dong was able to unleash offensive firepower like a fish in water.
