Chapter 28: A Shocking Turnaround

Durant walked out of the gym, after more than an hour of workouts, he was already sweating profusely, and he was ready to go to the bathroom to enjoy it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when he walked to the TV, he couldn't help but stop.

"At this time, the seventh game between the Spurs and the Lakers should be underway, and the Lakers are afraid that they have been crushed!" Durant shook his head, just about to leave, but turned back again.

"Take a look at the score, and if it's a big difference, go take a shower." Durant thought as he turned on the TV.

"Huh? 100-102, the Lakers are only two points behind, and the ball is still in the hands of the Lakers, this is already the fourth quarter, the score is still so close, is it possible that the Lakers want to win? It's impossible, they were 0-3 down before, how could they turn the tables around! ”

Durant was muttering to himself, but when he saw that Zhang Guan was still one step away from the three-point line, he stopped, and then jumped to shoot, and Leonard did not hesitate and pounced directly.

"Three-pointer, in!" Durant stared at the TV with his eyes fixed on it, but he remembered the scene in the final of the World Championships in Turkey four years ago.

Zhang Guan, just like now, stopped far from the three-point line and then shot, and the powerful American team was dragged into overtime by Zhang Guan with this offensive method, one overtime after another!

"It's this attack again! No solution! Durant sighed lightly, but now Durant feels that the Spurs may be more than lucky.

……

"The Spurs are starting to wrap up!"

Popovich apparently couldn't stand Zhang's unbridled three-point shooting and began to use the wrap-and-roll defense, and when Zhang moved near the three-point line, another player stepped forward and joined Leonard in trapping Zhang.

The bag is always the last resort to limit the superstar, but it is also the most effective means, and if you can't prevent you one-on-one, it's always okay for the two to prevent one.

The Spurs' defensive system is mainly team defense, and they rarely use a trap defense strategy, even if they meet James in the Finals, it is Leonard who defends James alone, and other teammates help defend instead of packing. However, in the face of Zhang Guan's scoring method, Popovich still decisively chose the bag.

Superstars are inherently difficult to defend, even the Spurs' defensive system is at most to limit the superstar, and dare not say that the opponent is completely blocked, and it is obviously impossible to prevent the defense from allowing people to score.

If the opponent scores 2 points and the Spurs score 2 points, the two sides are evenly matched, which is acceptable for the Spurs, and a team that plays well will not be afraid to compete with the opponent in terms of shooting percentage. But if the opponent scores 3 points and the Spurs score 2 points, then the Spurs will suffer.

Now Zhang Guan has been shooting outside the three-point line, but the shooting rate is still very high, so Popovich decided to use the bag clip to limit Zhang Guan's three-point shooting rate.

However, Zhang Guan did not sit still, and in the next ball, he just dribbled through the half court, and then directly raised his head to shoot.

"What? Is it an air relay? Leonard, who was in charge of defense, looked back and saw that the basketball went straight into the basket.

A cry of surprise suddenly sounded at the scene, and even Popovich's eyes widened and he looked at a loss.

"Shooting, throwing three-pointers just after halftime, don't play like that! The most important thing is that the ball is still in! Leonard's face was bitter, this kind of situation of throwing three-pointers just after halftime, Leonard is really unheard of.

"If he can score goals like this, then there is no need for a bag!" Now Leonard finally feels that Zhang Guan seems to be an inexplicable existence on the court.

Also depressed was Duncan, who had just run back from the Lakers' basket to his basket, and before he could even stand in position, Zhang Guan scored a goal. And Duncan had to drag his old body back to the front court, which was tantamount to a turnaround run. If it was Duncan when he was young, it didn't matter how many times he ran more, but now Duncan, he really feels tired when he runs a few more times.

……

"Bag clips? If the bag had been useful, we wouldn't have lost at the World Championships four years ago! Wei Shao lay on the massage chair, looked at the TV and muttered to himself.

At the World Championships in Turkey four years ago, the U.S. team used the same method, when Wei Shao and Rose sandwiched Zhang Guan, but it didn't have any effect, Zhang Guan was still scoring like crazy, and finally used up the last drop of blood of the U.S. team in one overtime after another.

"It's been four years!" Wei Shao looked at the ceiling with some wistfulness, at this moment, he seemed to have a hunch that he might soon fight Zhang Guan again.

"Again? How is that possible unless the Lakers make it to the Western Conference Finals? They're 3-0 down, there's never been a team that could come back from 3-0 down! ”

……

Zhang Guan's magical three-pointer made the score 112-109, the Lakers led by three points, and the Spurs began to passive.

At this time, the Spurs did not seem to be in a hurry, but played more and more steadily, players blocked and dismantled, Parker broke through, big players responded, offensive opportunities appeared, and scored points, and the tactical coordination was very smooth, which is also the best offensive way for the Spurs.

The Spurs are like this, full of resilience, no matter how critical the moment, no matter how tense the game is, the Spurs can always be as stable as Mount Tai, such a team is impossible to be taken away by a "wave".

The game entered the final three-and-a-half-minute minutes, and the score was 119-119, and it was still a draw. And Zhang Guan has hit 19 three-pointers in this game.

"Zhang Guan has already scored 69 points, he equals Jordan's 69 points in a single game, and in analysis, he will challenge Chamberlain's record of 70 points in a single game set in 1963!"

Before the commentator could speak, Gasol cut off the ball with a successful defense, Zhang Guan rushed to the front court with the ball, and made another three-point jumper.

"Three-point shot...... Entered! Zhang Guan's 20th three-pointer in this game is also his personal 72nd point! Zhang Guan has surpassed Chamberlain's 70 points in a single game, and also surpassed David Robinson's 71 points in a single game! He equaled Chamberlain's record of 72 points in a single game set on November 3, 1962! Seventh all-time, this result can currently be tied with Chamberlain for seventh all-time! ”

"Zhang Guan, three-point shot, here it is again! Pop up! Whiteside pulled out the rebound, and the ball went to Zhang Guan's hand again, three-pointer! Entered! Oh, alas, stepping on the line, it's a two-point. However, Zhang Guan still scored the 74th point, and this time, he surpassed Chamberlain's single-game 73 points set on January 13, 1962 and November 16, 1962, as well as David Thompson's single-game 73 points, and now Zhang Guan's single-game score has ranked fourth in history! ”

"Free throws, scored, Zhang Guan scored two free throws, scored 79 points, he surpassed Chamberlain's single-game score of 78 points set on December 8, 1961, and now Zhang Guan's single-game score has come to the third in history, there are two more people in front of him, Kobe Bryant's single-game 81 points, and Chamberlain's single-game 100 points!"

Zhang Guan frantically cut points, but the Spurs were still not defeated, the score is now 133-131, and the Lakers are only 2 points ahead.

For the Spurs, seven players scored in double figures, four of which got 20 plus 10 stats, of which Duncan and Leonard scored plus rebounds, while Parker and Ginobili scored and assisted, and Parker and Duncan were only one step away from a triple-double.

The two sides then squandered an offensive opportunity each, and when the ball was back in the hands of the Spurs again, there were 28 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Spurs still didn't panic in the slightest, but continued to play tactically according to the rules, or rather, they played very patiently.

At this time, the Spurs really reflected the essence of a strong team, they fell behind, but they were not in a hurry, but became more and more stable.

The ball was in Ginobili's hands, and at the critical moment, Ginobili seemed to be more qualified than Parker for the position of playmaker.

Passing, responding, passing, and continuing to respond, the Spurs' unhurried performance is like a leading team trying to exhaust 24 seconds of offensive time.

Finally, when the 24-second offensive time was about to run out, the Spurs finally ushered in the opportunity, Duncan's sudden air cut, almost to the basket, the ball also to the basket, the moment Duncan grabbed the ball, everyone thought Duncan would attack directly.

Duncan attracted three defenders, and it was at this moment that Duncan's wrist suddenly flicked, and the ball passed to Leonard, who was fast down on the other side, and Leonard made a layup and scored the ball.

Instead of opting for a three-pointer, the Spurs opted for a more secure two-pointer, playing at home and not afraid to play overtime, and the score turned 133-133 and the two sides were tied again with a little more than five seconds left in the game.

The Lakers didn't call a timeout, Meeks sent the ball to Zhang Guan as fast as he could, and they were ready to grab time to beat the Spurs for a foothold.

"Zhang Guan! Rush over, be careful! ”

"Don't let him shoot!"

Leonard rushed towards Zhang Guan like a hungry tiger pounced. And before Danny Green could rush to Zhang Guan's approach, he took the lead and started jumping, opening his hands to stop Zhang Guan's shot.

And Zhang Guan just froze, and the next moment he bowed violently and jumped between Leonard and Danny Green.

Leonard hurriedly retreated, but he couldn't catch up with Zhang Guan's footsteps, but a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the basketball.

That's Ginobili's hand! The title of "Argentine Demon Knife" refers to his hands!

Ginobili can score, grab rebounds, assist, steal, he can be regarded as an all-round player, but all these statistics, Ginobili can not be regarded as very high. For example, Ginobili averaged only 12.3 points per game this season, but no one will ignore his scoring ability, and in assists, Ginobili averaged just over four assists per game, but the entire league knows that Ginobili is one of the best playmakers.

Ginobili is one such player, he is always there when the Spurs need him, and when the Spurs need him to score, he will score; The Spurs need him to protect the rebounds, and he can grab them; The Spurs needed him to pass the ball, and he was able to get it just right.

Now, the Spurs need to stop Zhang Guan the most, so Ginobili has to contribute a crucial steal.

"Whoosh!" Ginobili was really fast, slapping the ball in an instant, and then hooking it up again, taking the ball into his own hands.

"It's broken! It's Ginobili! ”

"He is worthy of being the No. 1 key in the playoffs, and at such an important moment, he broke Zhang Guan's ball!"

People were in amazement, but the ball in Ginobili's hand suddenly flew up.

"It's Zhang Guan! Anti-steal! ”

Zhang Guan was about to snatch the ball from Ginobili the moment he was stealed, so when Ginobili reached out to hook the ball, Zhang Guan's hand stabbed from top to bottom, and the basketball naturally flew again.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guan moved the ball forward with his hand, and then swooped forward and grabbed the ball.

All these changes came too quickly, from Ginobili stealing to Zhang Guan's counter-steal, that is, a second.

However, at this time, every second is incomparably precious. This time the offense was originally only given Zhang Guan 5 seconds, and Zhang Guan had to dribble from the back court to the front court, and he was delayed by Ginobili like this, and the time was about to run out!

"I'm running out of time!" Zhang Guan didn't hesitate to get up and jump.

Duncan had already pounced.

Duncan knew that after such a destruction by Ginobili, Zhang Guan had lost the rhythm of the breakthrough, and he had only one option, shooting, so he rushed over and reached out to prepare to block.

Zhang Guan jumped, and Duncan jumped too.

Duncan's big hands were raised high, his five fingers were spread, and his face was fierce, waiting for the moment when Zhang Guan shot, and slapped it fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Guan begged to make a move, and Duncan's big slap was also suppressed.

"Whew!"

Duncan's big hand fanned out a gust of wind, but it flew into the air, and the basketball flew over Duncan's head.

"Step-back jumper!" Duncan immediately realized this, and Zhang Guan used a step-back jumper, which was difficult but almost impossible to cover.

"Rebounding!" Duncan let out a loud shout, and he jerked his head back to find that the basket was surrounded by Spurs players.

"Whew!" Duncan let out a sigh of relief, this rebound is not going to be lost.

"Flutter!" It was the sound of a basketball rubbing against a net.

The ball is in!

The timer ran out of last second!

The lights around the basket also came on......

135 to 133!

There was silence at the scene, and in the audience, there were countless fans covering their faces, unable to believe all this

"Lore, is it lore? Zhang Guan killed the Spurs! 81 points, Zhang Guan tied Kobe's record of 81 points in a single game! From 0-3 to 3-3, and then to today's 4-3, a shocking comeback, they really did it! ”
