Chapter 141: The Fourth Quarter Goes to War

The 17-point margin made the game a big game again, and it all stemmed from the Spurs' fast-paced offense and defensive switching and run-and-gun tactics. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gentry, who was standing on the sidelines, saw that the score difference was widened, and he was really bitter and tearful, and finally relied on the twin towers to tie the score, but he didn't know that the score was pulled away by the Spurs in the third quarter.

Brother Thick Eyebrows and Cousins glanced at each other on the court, and there was a trace of unwillingness in their eyes. The twin towers finally proved their strength, but the score was still pulled away.

The Pelicans attacked, and Brother Bush didn't plan to lose like this, he took the initiative to catch the ball at the three-point line, and then played crossover, and staggered his body with a big stride to shoot a three-point shot.

Everyone in the audience looked at it, Brother Thick Eyebrows seemed to be a little biased this time, and the arc was not high enough, could it be that it would end with iron?

But Cousins, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled slightly, rose to the ground, and took advantage of the moment when Diamond was distracted, and dunked the ball in the air relay.

Diamond was slow to make up for the defense, raising his hands high to make up for the defense as Cousins jumped, but ended up paying for a foul.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew and Cousins scored a dunk, plus a free throw.

Cousins then made a safe free throw to put the score at 72-58 and the margin to 14 points.

The point difference was still in double digits, and the Spurs were not panicking, and Parker leisurely controlled the ball to the front court to organize the offense.

Leonard ran into the corner and Parker passed the ball right away.

But this time, Parker's alertness was reduced, and it was Holiday who was defending him who broke the ball by lightning.

Holiday broke the ball and launched a fast break, rushing to the front first, and Parker behind him chased after him, reaching out to break the former.

The probe fails, and Parker staggers to pounce on Holiday on top of him.

The latter, who had also been in the NBA for many years, knew what to do at this time, and immediately threw the ball in the direction of the basket with both hands.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle again, and Holiday managed to draw a three-point foul on Parker's body.

But it wasn't over yet, Holiday threw the ball at the halfway point, and the basketball hit the board magically under the gaze of countless eyes from the audience.

Relying on luck, Holiday created a chance to play 3+1.

There was a sound of cold air coming from the audience, and Holiday scored an incredible goal this time.

Popovich yelled at the referee on the sidelines: "Tony didn't foul!" Jrue Holiday is cheating on fouls! ”

The referee ignored Popovich's roar, and he didn't bother to argue with the manager, the referee had to have his own majesty, and he didn't change the whistle.

In the boos of the audience, Holiday stood at the free throw line, hit the free throw, and successfully played a 3+1 to narrow the gap to 10 points. The score came to 72-62.

Gentry smiled, he wanted to rush to the ring right now and give Holiday a kiss.

The faces of the five people on the Spurs court were cloudy, and He Dong spoke up at this time to stabilize the army's heart: "It's okay, they can chase the score, and we can also open up the difference." ”

The Spurs attacked again, He Dong received the ball with his back in the mid-range position, and then decisively turned and threw a jumper.

The action is very beautiful, but there is a slight deviation in the arc of the shot, and this time the shot is a pity to hit the iron bullet frame.

Bushy Grabs the rebound and puts it in the hands of Holiday who once again holds the ball and initiates a transition attack.

With only 10 seconds left until the end of the third quarter, time was running out, Holiday controlled the ball in the front court, Bushy Eyebrows cut inside, and Holiday hit the ground to pass the ball to his hands.

The thick eyebrows who received the ball, pressed the time, chose to step back and shoot from the middle distance at the last moment, and faced the double save of Leonard and Ibaka, and hit the drift shot.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans narrowed the deficit to eight points and brought the score to 72-64.

At the intermission, Popovich was furious, and he pretended to be angry and asked the five people on the court to "reflect" for 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, and "reflect" on what was not done well on the court.

Pretending to be angry can both knock and alert the Spurs players and keep them focused into the game.

As for the "introspection" for 3 minutes, it was purely to let the five people on the field rest for a while, and they had to rely on them to end the game at the last moment.

My sister-in-law and Ade's performance on the court was okay today, and I don't know if they can maintain their offensive firepower in the fourth quarter.

On the Pelicans' side, Gentry took Bushy Eyebrows and Cousins off the court, and the interior players were replaced with Jones plus Asik's lineup of "Former Rockets Nuke" and "Former Rockets Restricted Area Kong".

Both have obvious shortcomings, the former is porous defensively, the latter is okay defensively, but the footwork is slow, and the duo is not very good offensively. In short, the role on the court is to hold on a little longer to ensure that when Brother Bush and Cousins return to the court, the situation does not collapse.

Holiday didn't take a break, and as a deft defender, he had plenty of energy and was fine to play the rest of the game. The Pelicans are really short of strong guards, and everything on the outside has to be handled by Holiday alone.

The Spurs came off the bench with Mills, Ginobili, Tielin, Ade, and sister-in-law.

In this lineup, all 5 people have the ability to shoot three-point shots, and the offensive firepower is unlimited, but the defense is not very reliable except for Tielin.

This set of bench lineups is enough to see the depth of the Spurs bench lineup.

In contrast, the substitutes on the Pelicans' side are completely old, weak, sick and vulnerable.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans took the lead in attacking, Holiday controlled the ball to the frontcourt, his eyes swept away, and the other four were all tightly defended, and there was no way, it seemed that he could only end the offense by himself.

With the advantage of height, Holiday controlled the ball to meet Mills' defense, made a mid-range pullup jump shot, and hit a solid mid-range shot, adding two more points to the Pelicans, bringing the score to 72-66, and narrowing the gap to 6 points.

The Spurs did not panic, Mills controlled the ball to the front court to organize the attack, handed it to Ginobili, the former suddenly sprinted into the penalty area at the moment of passing, and the latter showed his true colors at the moment he received the ball, and came to a behind-the-back ground pass, sending the ball to the former who cut into the inside.

Mills received the ball in the penalty area, feinted, attracted the attention of the defense, and then passed the ball to Tielin standing in the bottom corner with a flick of his wrist, who received the ball and immediately shot with a decisive three-point move.

Tie Lin didn't shoot iron this time, and hit the net with three points.

The score came to 75-66, and Tielin stopped the decline with this three-point shot, and the difference expanded to 9 points.

The Pelicans attacked again, Holiday had a little helplessness on his face, his outside teammates were too weak to give the ball to them, but he had to save a certain amount of physical strength to prepare for the last moment, it was best not to choose to shoot alone, otherwise the physical consumption was too fast.
