Chapter 34: The Last Critical Moment
**Vicky looked at the player who was standing in front of him and didn't dare to take a breath with a very ugly face, and scolded directly, "I asked you to play, did you ask you to play for me like this?" I need you to play your defense, Duncan isn't on the court, are you going to be unable to play? ”
"Duncan, he's a man, not a god, and he needs time to rest, what are you trying to do? If you don't want to play, you can tell me, you see, there are so many teammates on the bench who haven't played, you don't want to play, but they want to play very much, give you play, you don't play well, you say I will replace you on the court, why do you say I will replace you on the court" scolded like this** Vicky still did not get any better, and then said "Wait for the GDP The three of you get together in advance, I originally wanted Duncan to rest for a while, but I didn't expect you to be so weak"
**Vicky really wants Duncan to rest for a while, because Duncan is old after all, and he is gradually entering the title of veteran, for this**Vicky is still very clear, if Duncan is still very young, he will never let him rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter, because the team's score has fallen behind, so he will definitely send Duncan on the court, but this will obviously not work.
Duncan has been in this league for more than ten years and is already a veteran, and now Vicky has begun to pay attention to Duncan's physical condition, and also consciously gives Duncan more opportunities to rest to avoid injury. This is undoubtedly the best way, but this will ** Vicky really has no choice but to send Duncan to the court.
As a player, Duncan is naturally very eager to play, so he has no problem with the coach.
There is no personnel adjustment on the Cavaliers' side, it is still led by James, and the Brown Cavaliers also wanted to replace Huang Jun on the court just now, but in the end, it was better to think about it, after all, it would be their Cavaliers who would be ahead, and the lead advantage could also be said to be very large, and the advantage of ten points was indeed more playful, but there were still ten minutes left in the time, and the situation could still be reversed.
Parker dribbled the ball and handed it directly to Duncan on the inside at halftime, and it was not James who would defend Duncan on the Cavaliers, but Asik on the bench on the inside, Asik's performance this season is obvious to all, it can be said that he is very good, as a second-round pick, his performance is completely beyond his value.
In addition to James being able to defend Duncan, Asik is also the best, so handing over Duncan's defense to him is also a very wise decision, and it can also be regarded as a challenge to Asik, after all, Duncan is a superstar who is very difficult to defend, and it is indeed a test for him.
Duncan singled Asik with his back, and Asik firmly held Duncan behind Duncan's back, preventing him from easily entering the three-second zone. Duncan didn't give up, and he didn't think about using his strength to push the young Asik away, but chose skill.
Duncan first turned to face Asik, and then with a false shake, Asik thought that Duncan's mid-range shooting ability was very good, so he jumped up, but he didn't expect that the other party just made a simple feint.
In the final analysis, Asik didn't know Duncan well enough, and he didn't know Duncan's way of playing at all, and Asik, who was shaken up, naturally couldn't put pressure on Duncan on defense, only to see Duncan take a light stride to the inside, and then came a one-handed dunk, easily scored two points for the Spurs, and pulled the score back to single digits.
On the Cavaliers' side, James first arrived at the halfcourt, and then received the pass, James looked at Mason who was defending in front of him, his eyes were full of disdain, he took a light dribble, and then directly made a long-distance two-point jumper, completely ignoring Mason's defense in front of him.
Mason also jumped up, but he didn't cover James's shot, he could only watch the ball shoot, and then it may be that James's hand was not very good, the ball was not scored, and the rebound was directly grabbed by Duncan, and then handed over to Tony Parker's hands to let him organize the team.
Tony Parker chose to quickly dribble the ball to the halfcourt, and did not choose to stabilize at the first time in the half, but adjusted, and then went directly to the inside, and at this time the defender Parker was just a substitute role player Gibson. In the face of Gibson's defense, Parker broke through directly, obviously Gibson's defense was not enough in his eyes, and Gibson himself knew that his defense was really not good.
However, Gibson is still very persistent, watching Tony Parker want to break through himself, he increased his attention, staring closely at Tony Parker to see if he can see the opponent's breakthrough route, so as to find the best way to defend.
But is Parker that easy to defend against? If it was that good defensively, it wouldn't be a sports car, and it wouldn't be a starter for the Spurs, so Gibson's wish was doomed.
I saw Parker suddenly dodge, coupled with light footsteps, directly past Gibson's defense, and then a rebound layup scored two points for the Spurs, at this time the Spurs were only six points behind, which is a very good signal for the Spurs.
Then the game continued until five minutes left in the fourth quarter, by which time the Spurs had chased the score to only one point, the score was eighty-three to eighty-four, and the Spurs trailed the Cavaliers by one point at home, and during this time, Huang Jun did not play and has been resting off the court.
At this time, the Cavaliers also called a timeout, obviously to arrange the team's tactics in the next five minutes, and then Huang Jun and others will inevitably return to the court, for this everyone on the field knows, whether it is the players, coaches or fans watching the game on the spot, they all know that all the main forces will definitely be replaced on the field.
"Smith, it seems that this game is very interesting, at one point it was ten points ahead, but at this time it was only one point, but I still believe that the Cavaliers can win this game, because I believe in Huang Jun." Barkley said, looking at Smith.
"Hehehe, yes, then continue to watch the game, and the result will only be known when the game is over, do you say?" Smith also looked at Asik and said disapprovingly.
When the final five minutes of the game began, the lineup on the field was as everyone expected, both sides were all starters, and there was no trace of hiding.
Huang Jun controlled the ball, changed direction continuously, and then found a trace of vacancy, directly opened the gap, broke through to the inside line, in the face of Duncan's supplementary defense, Huang Jun's eyes scanned everywhere, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he passed the ball in his hand, the ball was not worn to Landry, nor to the hands of Ilgoska on the inside, but to the bottom corner.
Battier in the bottom corner just ran out of an empty space, which is obviously a very good opportunity for Battier, you must know that Battier's bottom corner three points are very accurate, so Huang Jun's ball pass is very wonderful, very timely, completely beyond all expectations.
Everyone thought that if the ball was to be passed, it should be passed to the hands of the inside player, but they didn't expect Huang Jun to come to a large-scale transfer of the ball, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Battier, who received the pass in the bottom corner, directly made a three-point shot, very quickly, because if you don't shoot, I'm afraid there will be no better chance to shoot, because someone next to you is killed, so you have to shoot, although it looks very hasty, but the opportunity is very good, and Battier's heart does not have a sense of haste at all, and the shot can also be said to be very stable.
Brush, a crisp sound of the net came out, three points hollow into the net, and then Battier smiled slightly and returned to the defense.
Next, Spurs Ginobili's three-point miss, the rebound was picked up by Huang Jun, mainly too many people are competing for this rebound, and Huang Jun has always been nearby, and he is also very concerned about this rebound, so when he saw it fall to the side, he stepped forward without any hesitation and picked up the rebound, and launched a counterattack at the first time.
However, the Spurs' retreat is still very fast, so Huang Jun's counterattack did not succeed, but what does it matter, if it can't be a big deal, it will stabilize and play the attack of positional warfare, and it is not only counterattack and fast attack.
Huang Jun, who stabilized, directly handed the ball into James's hands. Let James complete this offense, this will make the Cavaliers lead the Spurs in the score, it can be said that now the initiative of the game is completely in the hands of the Cavaliers, which will not only have to perform well, but also look at the Cavaliers' face, only the Cavaliers continue to make mistakes, the Spurs have a chance to win this game.
James directly passed Mason's defense very easily, but James did not choose to break through to the basket, but directly pulled up the jumper, the Spurs' defensive strategy is very simple and wise, that is, let you James shoot, prevent your breakthrough, so everyone just watched James jump shot.
And James will indeed be very powerful, this jump shot hit directly, although James's jump shot rate is not very high, but it is not a mess, his shooting rate is still very high when it should be hit, mainly James dares to shoot at a critical moment. Knowing that a direct jump shot is not very good, he still chooses a jump shot.
The Cavaliers have pulled the difference to six points, which is really good for the Cavaliers, because the time has been reduced a little bit, if the Spurs want to win, in addition to scoring the ball themselves, they must also pray that the Cavaliers do not score, and at the same time ensure that they do not make mistakes, once they make mistakes and are scored, then the Spurs This game is even more difficult to play.
The Spurs know this, and they know how important each next offense is to them.
