449. Miracles Strike Again
San Antonio fans were going crazy, especially those who left the court to go home a minute before the end of the fourth quarter.
Imagine that these fans left the stadium with a sense of satisfaction and excitement: their beloved Spurs had won two straight games in the Finals, essentially determining the ownership of the championship, and there was only one time in NBA history when a team failed to win the championship with a 2-0 advantage in the Finals: the Lakers in the Magic era, and they were beaten by the Green Shirts that year.
Spurs fans don't believe their team will be as resilient as the Lakers, and in fact they don't believe the Bobcats can have the toughness of the top green shirts. All in all, they left the arena contented, and then planned to take a shower and get a good night's sleep, and maybe wake up with their Spurs taking home the third O'Brien Cup in history.
But the result? When they got home, they took a shower, turned on the TV, and then they heard the big networks broadcasting the game: "...... At the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, Game 2 of the NBA Finals was played as the Bobcats narrowly defeated the Western Conference champions Spurs with a score of 96-95......
You can imagine how shocked Spurs fans were when they heard the news, many people thought that their bathwater was adulterated with marijuana, causing them to hallucinate, and if they continued to listen, they knew that the water company definitely did not poison the bathwater:
In the last 58 seconds of the fourth quarter, Bobcats star Ben. Wallace made 5-of-5 three-pointers and scored a total of 16 points on a 3+1, setting an NBA one-minute scoring record, which was previously held by former Philadelphia 76ers star Dr. J. Irving, who once scored 12 points in one minute. In addition, Ben. Wallace made a steal and a block in the final 58 seconds. One of the blocks was in the last second when he shot to block Tim. Duncan's turn around little hook! ”
After the game that night. Waeben laughed wildly and was brought down on the court by the crazy Bobcats players, and Jordan and other members of the coaching staff rushed up to crush him under him regardless of his image. It was a game they had never experienced before, and Huaben exploded with 16 points in the final minute to completely conquer the neutral fans across the league.
The Spurs players were dazed, and when Warben slammed Duncan's small hook hand, Vicky almost fainted on the court with a heart attack. All the players were dumbfounded, Brent. Barry even kept rubbing his eyes, and they still couldn't accept such a result.
Was it overturned like this? An unprecedented reversal? In the last 58 seconds, he was chased by the opponent for 14 points? What the is this? The Spurs players were about to cry. Duncan was no longer the expressionless stone Buddha, and the muscles on his face twitched as if he were grimacing. Huaben hit him too hard.
"Miracle in 58 seconds and 16 minutes". This is the evaluation of the fans for Huaben's last-minute behavior, no one even cares that he scored 40+ in the Finals, and the 16 points in the last minute are so dazzling that when this game is over, the attention of the NBA Finals is directly equal to the Super Bowl Finals.
"We want to know what a person's limits look like." Fans used these words to answer reporters' questions about why they didn't know basketball and were ready to watch the NBA finals.
Because of Wang Zhizhi. CCTV also broadcast the game live, Huaben's omnipotent horror posture is perfectly presented in the field of vision of Chinese fans, relying on this season's crazy performances, he successfully surpassed Kobe, Iverson and others to become the most watched foreign star, and his popularity soared, directly equal to Jordan the Great.
In this high-profile situation, on May 16, the third game of the NBA Finals officially began, and the Bobcats sat at home to face the Spurs. According to the statistics of the television network. TNT's viewership for this moment was more than 25%, which means that one out of every four viewers in the United States watched the Finals at this time. …,
The highest Finals ratings in NBA history were Jordan's retirement battle against the Jazz in '98, which was 19%, or lower than this one. However, this rating is still not close to the Super Bowl. The latter once produced a record 34% ratings. In the United States, the Super Bowl final is the equivalent of the Spring Festival Gala in China.
The Time Warner Center was silent when the Spurs players played, and according to reporters, the fans' explanation was that they had to save their energy and cheer for the Bobcats' goal while the game came.
But apparently the fans weren't telling the truth, because when the Bobcats players entered, Time Warner Center became a sea of joy, especially when Wabeen played, and the thunderous applause and cheers were deafening.
Hua Ben walked out of the players' tunnel, and the fans on both sides stretched out their arms to shake hands with him, while the big screen above the stadium began to play Hua Ben's crazy performance in the last 58 seconds of the game, and it was also played in 360 degrees, with occasional slow-motion explanations. This scene is simply rubbing salt to the wounds in the hearts of Spurs players, especially the last block played to Huaben, which broke Duncan's heart.
There are no changes to the lineups on both sides, with the Bobcats being Oku + Warben + Gerrard + Patin + Allen; The Spurs are Nesterovic + Duncan + Bowen + Parker + Barry.
The 58.16 minutes of the previous race encouraged Wabeon, and this time he won Duncan on a jump ball and picked the ball to Pattin.
In order to get his rhythm, Padding quickly moved forward after holding the ball, Parker stepped back to defend, and Varben stood up outside the three-point line. At this time, Bowen and Barry went directly to the bag, and the three points of Huaben in the last game scared the courage of these people.
Waeben passed the ball to Allen, who held the ball and attacked the inside, cut straight in from the middle like an arrow, and soared into the air to dunk.
Duncan served to Parker, who ran forward slowly, Allen and Patin looked at each other, and the two pounced together like hungry wolves, reaching out to grab the ball.
Parker hurriedly passed the ball to Barry, and Padding turned around and went to chase after him, making Barry Sr. scramble.
The Bobcats' physical pressing had some effect, and the Spurs started the game with a stiff run, and Parker made a mistake when he broke through the ball, throwing the ball off the court and straight to the Bobcats' bench.
Wang Zhizhi grabbed the ball and habitually wanted to shoot. Then he realized that he had made a mistake, so he laughed. Give the ball to the referee.
The scene brought joy to the fans on the sidelines, with Allen's dunk contrasting with Parker's mistakes, and the overwhelming 'thank you undercover' resounded over the court.
Duncan patted Parker's ass to comfort him, but Padding ran across the halfcourt with the ball, so scared that the two couldn't communicate and hurriedly chased down.
Patin was still ready to pass the ball to Waben, but Bowen also began to press this time, chasing Waben like a shadow, leaving him with no chance to connect the ball. Seeing this, Patin shook his head. A sliding step changed direction and broke through from the other side of Parker. Barry switched to defend and Patin turned to look at Aaron, who hesitated.
At this moment, Patin seized the opportunity to pass him and rush into the inside, and Duncan stuck Oku to make up the defense. The two were still far apart, and Patin jumped up and threw a throw. The basketball glides through a smooth arc and finally falls into the hoop with precision.
This season, Pattin's throws are getting more and more accurate, and that's the benefit of talent, and Patin is still growing.
4:0, maybe it's back at home, maybe it's the win in the last game, the Bobcats have returned to their previous sharpness and played a completely different start from the previous two games.
Duncan saw that the Bobcats were about to get up. Reach out and ask for the ball to open the singles. Hua Ben is behind him, both of them are power heroes, one is the boss at home, and the other wants to break through the level to avenge the last game, and the two are fierce against each other. …,
Wabbon stuck to Duncan's back, and the latter's ass slammed backwards. But it didn't have any effect, and now Waaben is not even afraid of O'Neill's back push, let alone others? Duncan is a smart man, and when he found out, he immediately turned around and switched to a face-frame attack.
Duncan bent over to look at Huaben, he made a probing step first, and Huaben was unmoved. At this time, Duncan spread his legs and 'snapped' two crotch dribbles, rushing inward like a defender, Wabel moved horizontally to top the defense, but Duncan took a step back and jumped up quickly.
Playing the board at a 45-degree angle, Duncan's move is something that no one can prevent.
"Soft eggs!" Huaben took the opportunity to scold, and Duncan's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard this. Indeed, for a man with a bachelor's degree in psychology, trash talk is crap.
Patin passed the ball to Waben, and this time he wanted the ball just after half-time, otherwise Bowen would stick to him again.
Wajben trotted to stand one step outside the three-point line, and Bowen and Barry swallowed their saliva and sandwiched up one left and one right.
Seeing this, Hua Ben suddenly took a step forward, twisted his body and rushed in the direction of Bowen. Bowen hurriedly took half a step back to support his body, but when he got to the front, Waben's shoulders shook sharply, he slapped the ball with his hand, took the ball with his right hand and pushed his shoulder forward, knocking away the thin Barry and quickly killing it.
Duncan came out to make up for it, Wabbon threw the ball in, and Oku got up to make a layup. However, Duncan's forward move was a false move, as soon as Wabeen passed the ball, he immediately retreated, Oku just jumped, the ball was almost blocked as soon as he shot, he hurriedly raised the shot, and the basketball hit the hoop.
Nesterovic was short and wanted to grab the rebound, before a big man rushed up from behind like an eagle, grabbed the rebound with one hand, and then jumped up quickly after landing on the ground, and knocked Duncan away with a two-handed dunk.
Fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and after the Wajben dunk, the Time Warner Center sounded like a wave of applause and cheers, and greeted Duncan by the way.
"Buckle the garbage of San Antonio, long live Charlotte, Charlotte will win!"
"Kick the ass of these bitches and teach these sons of bitch!"
"Kill them and let him eat! Tim. Duncan is a soft egg who has nothing to show for himself! ”
Wabbon smiled and shook his head, and asked Duncan as he ran down, "Hey, baby, aren't our Charlotte fans enthusiastic?" ”
Duncan glanced at him and said slowly, "I don't feel it, I have selective deafness." ”
The basketball was repeatedly upside down in the hands of the Spurs players, and Duncan tested it and passed it to Bowen after feeling bad. Gerrard's defense is also strong enough, staring at Bowen and not letting go, Parker ran in the direction of the two with Pattin, Gerrard was interfered with, and the ball was passed to Parker by Bowen.
Seeing this, Gerrard took a step back and jammed Parker to give Padding a chance, and as a result, Parker passed the ball back, and Bowen hit a three-point shot and hit a long shot. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
