Chapter 356: Lore!
Doug Collins got up from the bench and felt like a pinprick under his buttocks. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the 76ers still led the Spurs by 3 points 104-101 at this time, if the interior line was missing the Optimus Prime of Gasol Jr., it would inadvertently drop the overall combat power by three layers.
Substitution.
Gasol Jr. walked off the court depressed, and Doug Collins had no choice but to replace Butler with David West on the inside, and like the Spurs, they also formed a large and four small lineup.
The audience booed and rushed to the Argentine and the serious referee.
"Definitely a black whistle!" The fans in front of the TV were even more irrational, closing the coffin, and said righteously, looking at the referee and the bald man in their eyes.
Ginobili walked to the sideline and took the referee's ball, and the game resumed with 1 minute and 37 seconds remaining.
Iguodala held his arm high on the sideline as the Spurs regained 14 seconds of offensive time and opportunity, when the whistle blew and everyone began to run, as they had done thousands of times before.
Duncan and Leonard gave Parker double cover, Parker came out to catch the ball, Lowry pressed the defense, and Parker almost missed the ball.
Then there is the pillar tactic that the 76ers themselves are familiar with, but in the hands of the Spurs, the wing offense is significantly weakened, and the blocking and pick-and-roll connection between the point guard and the interior is strengthened.
The strongest point of the Spurs, the French sports car Parker!
Parker turned to the left side and Duncan, who eventually came out of the screen, played a pick-and-roll team, and their defenders were Lowry and David West, respectively.
Parker lowered his center of gravity and turned to the left, and Lowry was blocked by Duncan, and there was a gap in the defense.
In the mid-range, David West keeps his eye on Parker, ready to pounce on Parker's mid-range pullup jumper, a regular offensive weapon for Parker.
Parker glanced at David West, who was staring at him, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
An accelerated breakthrough to the left, it was actually a direct strong breakthrough in the face of David West, which relied on flexibility and agility, and David West couldn't prevent it.
was only delayed by David West, and Lowry followed.
Parker's baseline abruptly stopped, then he tapped the basketball and threw the ball into the sky with his right hand, and the basketball flew off his fingertips and headed for the board.
"Huh!"
The basketball hit the board into the frame, and the Spurs only trailed by 1 point 103-104!
Gasol Jr. gritted his teeth, if he was still on the court just now, Parker would not have been so easy to shoot, even if it was a high board, it was estimated that it would be greatly affected.
Tang Wenlong's expression was solemn, and the form of the 76ers was very grim.
After he dribbled past half court, he heard Collins call a timeout, which was an adjustment timeout to allow the 76ers players on the court to adjust their form and mental turmoil.
At the end of the timeout, Tang Wenlong returned to the court and pulled out his sleeves.
At 1 minute and 26 seconds, Tang Wenlong stood on the sideline to serve.
Lowry came out, took Tang Wenlong's pass and dribbled to the right, Tang Wenlong stepped into the field, and there were two no-ball covers, David West and Iguodala.
The Spurs rotated the defense, and after interspersing the past, it became Ginobili to defend Tang Wenlong.
Lowry's eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity!
Immediately, a ground-hitting pass was handed to Tang Wenlong, who took the ball and stopped his body, and his back against Ginobili in the right elbow area.
"Misplaced!" Popovich got up from the bench.
In fact, Ginobili is also a wing player, but Tang Wenlong has long been mixed in the position of small forward and big forward, in terms of back ability, even Leonard, who is two meters tall and has good strength, bounce and arm span, does not dare to defend against it, let alone Ginobili who looks thinner.
Tang Wenlong naturally knew that the Spurs would change later, and after getting the ball, he directly slid sideways and leaned back.
Then a soft "bang" came from the contact between the two, Ginobili snorted, his waist was pushed back, and his whole body was knocked into a little fog.
"Bang!"
Tang Wenlong's second impact was even more powerful, and Ginobili was squeezed to the ground and moved back two steps.
The right foot made an axis, the left foot drew a circle counterclockwise, turned around, Tang Wenlong's strong back muscles stuck over, and instantly squeezed the ground Ginobili and couldn't jump, and then when the left foot stepped on his most comfortable point, Tang Wenlong's whole person bounced up.
"Don't think!" Leonard and Ginobili, who arrived on the horse, jumped up together to block Tang Wenlong's space.
Tang Wenlong's backward jump shot was not small, his five fingers were naturally opened, his palms were empty, and his arms were bent in front. Fans even saw Tang Wenlong's small adjustment action of pressing down with both hands when shooting.
Then gently dial it out, with minimal interference from Ginobili and Leonard.
"Huh!" Again! He actually scored 6 points in a row in overtime!
The 76ers immediately led the Spurs by three points at 106-103 and still ensured the initiative on the court.
"This shot is too crucial, Tang Wenlong used a Jordan-style step-back jumper to solve the battle, which fully reflects his unparalleled personal ability, and the Spurs really can't defend it!" Zhang Weiping picked up the microphone and shouted loudly, it is rare to see him so excited to explain the game in recent years.
Spurs fans are wailing in their hearts, this guy is too hateful and terrifying, and when he has the slightest opportunity, he can score immediately, like picking up something.
The morale of the Spurs team plummeted, and although they were able to ensure a strong fighting spirit, there was always a helpless sigh in their hearts.
The clock is in the last 1 minute.
The Spurs are attacking from a positional position, and this wave of offense is extremely critical for the Spurs, and if they can't score, the situation will deteriorate further.
Parker made a pick-and-roll attack around Duncan, and Lowry stared at Duncan, a kraft candy defense.
The small action is not small, but because the referee just sent Gasol Jr. off, the referee obviously will not blow the whistle that is too unfavorable for the 76ers, and directly hand over the court to the players to solve it themselves.
Parker couldn't find a chance and passed back to Ginobili on the outside.
Ginobili shook his head and controlled the ball with his left hand to get in, Iguodala defended it well, and he didn't have a chance to shoot, and he was very uncomfortable to pass the ball to Danny Green again.
The Spurs have been unable to find a suitable opportunity on the outside, and they are inevitably impatient.
After Danny Green rushed in, he was stopped by Jimmy Butler on the dribble, and only hoisted the ball in when he saw Duncan shouting loudly.
At this time, there is not much time left to attack, and Duncan is actually not in a good position, so he can only try to attack after receiving the ball.
David West didn't lose his position, raised his arm high to interfere with the shot, Duncan took a shot, and the basketball rolled out of the basket with a brush, and the Spurs fans suddenly turned pale.
At this moment, a black figure rushed in, stretched out his arm, and grabbed this frontcourt rebound!
Parker!
turned out to be the Spurs' team's favorite Parker! He was like a life-saving fountain, pulling the spurs back from the touchline!
Lowry looked remorseful, and Parker grabbed the rebound and dribbled himself, instantly messing up the 76ers' formation.
Leonard who passed back to the bottom corner of the outside line, and Leonard was also considered an empty space at this time.
"Cast!" Parker made a mouth shape, and Tang Wenlong turned around to make up for the defense!
Leonard took a deep breath and held the basketball in his unusually large hands, bent on his knees, and his posture was steady like a framed photo.
The basketball passed through the heart, and the audience was silent.
3 points, three-pointers at the critical moment!
Spurs fans were in ecstasy, and Leonard's three-pointer was so crucial that with 32.8 seconds left in overtime, the Spurs once again stubbornly tied the score.
The 22-year-old, who is unknown and pigtailed, is going to be known all over the world, and it's the golden goal that will make the headlines of the Holy City tomorrow. No one would have thought that such a young man who is known for his defense and does not smile would have such a strong heart.
"Is it a superstar embryo?" Popovich returned to heaven from hell, looking at Leonard's still calm face, feeling as if he had picked up a treasure, as if Leonard still had untapped potential?
The goal halted the 76ers, and Doug Collins called a timeout in a serious way.
The 76ers players who returned to the bench were also a little frustrated, their mood was the mood of the Spurs players who had just been shot by Tang Wenlong for a crucial two points, and the court always had feng shui in turn.
......
The 76ers came back from a pause, still choosing Tang Wenlong's singles tactics.
Single-core team, almost everyone knows that the most powerful tactic of the 76ers is the tactic of giving full play to the single-core offensive ability, just like Iverson did back then, and now Tang Wenlong is also taking this path, but compared to Iverson, Tang Wenlong's teammates around him are more suitable for him, and he himself is more comprehensive.
The other players of the Spurs looked at the position close to the bottom line, Tang Wenlong chiseled Leonard hard, and couldn't help but sweat for him.
Leonard didn't say a word, gritted his teeth and stiffened, and Spurs fans folded their hands in anticipation of a miracle.
Tang Wenlong was still incredibly skillful in turning his back to shoot, turning around to shoot at a near-zero angle angle, and Leonard's big palm just covered Tang Wenlong's face.
The basketball flies in the air, and the arc is a little high.
"Bell!" In the end, he failed to throw, and turned into a sigh from the audience.
The angle of the shot was just right, the force was a little bigger, the basketball bounced back, Duncan let out a loud shout, squeezed David West, and grabbed the backcourt rebound.
18.8 seconds, another Spurs chance to kill.
The wheels of history roll forward, but in the long river of time, there are always strikingly similar scene fragments.
Popovich doesn't believe in evil, he doesn't believe that anyone else will stand up this time, without Gasol Jr.'s 76ers inside, it is a toothless tiger, seemingly strong, but without deterrence.
The timeout is over, and the Spurs serve on the sideline.
Parker controlled the ball, Spurs controlled the time, Lowry pressed forward, Parker just dribbled with his back to the ball and firmly controlled the ball.
At 14 seconds, the Spurs began to operate tactics as a team, and after the old tactical run, Duncan fell to the low post. At this time, Parker tried to break through, and it was indeed impossible to get the pestering Lowry, hitting the ground and giving the ball to Duncan.
Eight seconds later, Duncan hit David West with his back.
In 7 seconds, Leonard moved to outside the three-point line that Duncan was facing directly, and after Tang Wenlong followed the past, he directly cut off the possibility of outflanking Duncan from the side, and he was anxious.
At 6 seconds, Duncan made a small hook, and David West struggled to jump and block.
This turned out to be Duncan's feint, Duncan drew a circle in the air with the ball in both hands, looking like he was going to shoot, but it was actually a feint! After David West was deceived at this moment, Duncan was instantly in an absolutely advantageous position.
He stepped out with his right foot and walked to the middle of the field, grabbed the basketball with one hand with his left hand and gently picked it up, and the basketball obediently rolled into the basket.....
Incomparably solid basic skills, incredibly big heart!
Duncan turned around and roared, and the moment he scored, it seemed to return to the era when the big four forwards competed for power, which was his most free and easy youth.
The fans at the Wajovia Center were on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and after so many ups and downs, they were all a little numb, and once again fell silent, staring blankly at the scarlet situation of the Spurs leading by two points at 108-106, which was very different from their own fantasy before the game.
At the same time, the 76ers' players and coaches fell into a dead silence, and a minute ago, they thought victory was beckoning, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to face what could be the toughest offense of the night!
"We haven't lost yet, have we?" Tang Wenlong frowned, and when he walked off the field, he spoke softly to his teammates.
There was silence at the moment, and as soon as his words came out, the 5 players of the 76ers listened to it, and they all raised their heads in an instant, looking at Tang Wenlong, whose eyes were shining, and a ball of things in their hearts seemed to be ignited.
yes, we haven't lost yet! There are 3.8 seconds left in the game!
Doug Collins was speechless in surprise, looking at the disciples who walked down the field, they were still full of fighting spirit, as if they believed that it could definitely be reversed.
His gaze shifted to the past, just in time to see Tang Wenlong looking at him with a smile, his smile was full of confidence, at that moment, he himself seemed to have put down his burden, with Tang Wenlong here, what were you afraid of?
......
In 3.8 seconds, the 76ers went out of bounds, and time seemed to stand still all over the world, and the eyes of the world converged on this court.
The camera swept over Tang Wenlong, Iguodala, Duncan, Leonard, then swept over the head coaches of both teams, and finally returned to the panorama, where the referee blew the whistle on the sidelines.
Run!
Without the slightest pause, Tang Wenlong was like a vigorous cheetah, he broke out in an instant, and moved in small steps to avoid Leonard's big hand that was about to secretly grab his clothes.
Moving from the baseline to the left, Iguodala at the top of the arc moved to the bottom right corner, with David West and Ray Allen in between.
When Tang Wenlong was out of the three-point line, Ray Allen ran to the bottom left corner, instantly forming an empty space and attracting the attention of the Spurs.
When Tang Wenlong received the ball, he was two meters away from the three-point line, because it was not so far, he couldn't receive it at all.
The moment he received the ball, it was also the beginning of the countdown to time, except for Leonard, who was closely following Tang Wenlong, Danny Green didn't know when to run out, and the two of them wrapped him together.
Tang Wenlong controlled the ball with his left hand, dribbled to the left without any fancy, and David West, who happened to follow out at the top of the arc, gave a block.
Lowry and Iguodala were both pinned down, and the space on the court was opened. The whole world knows that the 76ers will hand over the ball to Tang Wenlong to solve it himself, whether to throw or pass.
A gentle breeze blows across his face and blows the hair scattered on his forehead.
Two steps outside the three-point line, Tang Wenlong bounced high on his side, bounced so high, as if he was not going to shoot, but to make a tomahawk split.
Someone once described Tang Wenlong as "having springs on his feet and sights on his hands."
At 1.5 seconds, Tang Wenlong had already flown to the highest air, and at this time, the Spurs' Danny Green and Leonard flew together, but the height of the bounce was far less than Tang Wenlong.
When Tang Wenlong raised his arm to shoot, the space was not blocked at all.
"Jumping on one foot, stopping urgently, three points and leaning back, shouldn't you go in?" Popovich had a sense of foreboding as he watched the basketball roll in the air.
Eyes converge, orange basketball rolling.
The red light came on as scheduled, and the final time ended.
The next moment, the basketball "swish" passed through the heart.
The next moment, 40,000 hands in the Wajovia Center Arena were raised at the same time, and a deafening cheer erupted!
The next moment, Tang Wenlong was surrounded by his teammates, the 76ers staff who rushed into the court, the members of the coaching staff, and all the fans who supported the 76ers...... (To be continued.) )
