"The two teams are really in balance," Magic Johnson pondered after watching Jackson shoot that three-pointer, and the game also started in the third quarter when the Spurs and Timberwolves stood at a level of strength, rather than the Timberwolves being beaten passively like in the first half.

What kind of opponents are more exciting? Some people like to take advantage of people's illness to kill people, and some people like to beat the opponent when the opponent is at the peak, just from the evolution of this game, the Timberwolves and Spurs have returned to the peak of their strength, the Spurs are open on the outside, and the Timberwolves are on the inside.

The performance of the two teams in the third quarter also shows this fact, the two teams have indeed become evenly matched, the Timberwolves really can't prevent the Spurs on the defensive end, this is a fact, it can be said that the Timberwolves can't defend the NBA this season with all the teams with two star inside, not only the Spurs, but also the Rockets, Heat, Lakers, etc., but Zhuang Fei has never wanted to find a defensive center because of defense, of course he hopes that the Timberwolves' defense can be strengthened, But he definitely did not sacrifice the offense in exchange for the so-called interior defense, the Timberwolves should have the style of the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves do not need to consider the opponent's offense, but let the opponent consider the Timberwolves' offense, this is what Zhuang Fei wants to do, with the current Timberwolves lineup, the Timberwolves want to win the championship, the Timberwolves' goal of learning is never the Pistons or Spurs in the future, Zhuang Fei really wants to learn only the Lakers when they won three consecutive championships, crush everything of the opponent with their own offense, and the extreme defense can win the championship, The extreme offense can also win the championship. Zhuang Fei is an attacking madman.

If Zhuang Fei previously envisioned that the Timberwolves could really play an invincible offense, they had to wait for Garnett to have the strength to play inside, so that the Timberwolves' offense would be three-dimensional, but now there is no need. Because now the Timberwolves have played an alternative three-dimensional offense, although it is not the norm, but it is enough in such a game.

"I really didn't expect the game to drag on to this point, how good it would be if I didn't save my strength in the first two games of this series, if that was the case, we would have won now" Vicky had some regrets and regrets, he really didn't expect the Timberwolves to have such a tenacious style and such amazing strength, and he didn't expect that the Chinese of the Timberwolves would be so difficult, and this round of the series became a round of tactical fair. Now every timeout of Zhuang Fei will make Vicky's heart palpitate, afraid that Zhuang Fei will make something strange come out again. Vicky is now in a dilemma, and finally chose to improve more protection for the two big men on the inside, so that the score between the two teams is once again in a stalemate. The race is getting more and more suffocating.

"Although now we have recovered the disadvantage. But there is no way to overtake the Spurs" D'Antoni looked at the situation on the court and was relieved at the same time, but at the same time, it was a pity that the Timberwolves had found the offensive mode of the regular season, and the Spurs had also lowered under the defensive pressure of the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves did not suffer a loss in terms of the overall situation, but even so, the Timberwolves still could not complete the overtake in the score.

"It shows that our attack is still not strong enough. Zhuang Fei said lightly, the Timberwolves' offense still needs to be upgraded to a higher level, and in the shrinking season, it is estimated that only the Spurs and Timberwolves are playing in 100% state in the entire NBA, and the state of other teams has been affected. But the next season will be different, when all the NBA teams have plenty of time to adjust their teams. The Timberwolves' opponents are not just the Spurs, and even the most powerful is the Lakers led by Phil Jackson. Therefore, Zhuang Fei definitely does not think that the Timberwolves can sweep the league next season with their current offensive strength, which is absolutely not enough.

"It seems that this game can only be decided in the end, but in the end, we are the most disadvantaged" D'Antoni also nodded at Zhuang Fei's words, and said with some regret. If the score is not recovered in the fourth quarter, then the Timberwolves are in trouble

Duncan slowly walked off the court, looked up at the score of the court scoreboard and frowned, the third quarter of the game ended, the final score was 78-76, this quarter Spurs let the Timberwolves score 30 points, this is still the most points conceded by the Spurs in the playoffs in his memory, and the score of the two teams was also chased to only 2 points at the last moment, if it wasn't for Pierce in the third quarter of the whistle ball did not score, it is estimated that the current score has been overtaken by the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves' attacking freak for the entire third quarter left the Spurs players at a loss, and it was the first time they had encountered such an opponent and situation.

"Tim, what do you want" Robinson smiled and patted Duncan's shoulder and said, he felt that Duncan was a little bored in this game as a whole, which was no way except for the opening Spurs to focus on two interior offenses, and when the Spurs found their feel on the outside, Duncan was more just trying to score with his teammates, and he didn't have many shots of his own, and on the defensive end since the Timberwolves got the group to grab the frontcourt rebounding tactic in the third quarter, he was also overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, Robinson thought Duncan was troubled by this.

"David, this is the hardest series I've played since I entered the NBA." Duncan withdrew his gaze from the scoreboard and said to David Robinson with a wry smile.

"yes, the Timberwolves really don't put us under the pressure that other teams can compare to this year, but I still believe we can win" David Robinson paused with a smile and continued: "Because we have Tim, we all believe that kid named Tim Duncan can bring us victory, Tim, as long as you don't get lost, we have hope at any time"

"Is it?" although his face was still expressionless, David Robinson clearly felt Duncan's mood change.

The Spurs' bench is very quiet at this time, don't look at them have now experienced a tie-break of seven and a tie-break, but in the real sense, they were forced to take out all their strength and could not grasp the initiative The only game is this, it can be said that for the first time, Spurs found that their fate is actually no longer in their own hands.

"It's a tough game, so I won't say anything extraneous. No matter what the method, we have to win this game, and from the fourth quarter we have to play ball by ball, and there must be no mistakes and mistakes. All offenses must have Thiem's involvement, let Tim decide the distribution of offense, we want a success rate, preferably a 100 percent success rate, now is our advantage, we can win" Vicky swept the Spurs players with cold eyes, now every offense is the key, and there must be no negligence.

On the other side, the atmosphere on the Timberwolves bench is a different kind of solemnity.

"Steve. Are you okay" Zhuang Fei looked worriedly at Nash, who had begun to lose his breath, and said, although Nash was in excellent shape in this game, but now he has been fighting for 36 minutes in the third quarter, he and Pierce Duncan have not rested for a minute, and before the game, the Timberwolves' team doctor told Zhuang Fei that Nash had reached the limit of physical fitness. But Zhuang Fei has no choice, and the Timberwolves can't do without Nash now.

"Whew, coach, don't worry, me. It's okay" Nash took away the white wet towel covering his head, exhaled deeply, adjusted his rhythm and said, this game is going to bring victory to the team no matter what. Nash looked at his teammates and coaches around him, and his worried eyes were unusually warm. It's a collective he truly loves, the impulsive Garnett. Reckless Pierce, Weak Lewis. Nervous Jackson, he doesn't want to make these people sad, he doesn't want to disappoint the coach, he has been silently watching everyone behind his back in this team, and he also wants to silently protect this group of people and these happiness, so he will definitely not back down at this time.

Looking at Nash, whose eyes were firm and almost out of strength, Zhuang Fei still gritted his teeth fiercely, and kept Nash on the court, everyone had the right and reason to choose their own insistence.

"I don't arrange any tactics in the fourth quarter, because there is no need for it now, I have already said what I should say, and now it's up to everyone" Zhuang Fei raised his right hand high after speaking, and the Timberwolves players saw the same thing.

"Goal, victory, goal, champion" This is the first time Zhuang Fei shouted this slogan in public

"I knew he was starting again" D'Antoni sighed helplessly on the sidelines, in this comparison with the Spurs, the Timberwolves have stood at the same height as the Spurs, the same level, and it is difficult for the two teams to say who is stronger and who is weak, but the Timberwolves still have a very fatal flaw compared with the Spurs, that is, the Timberwolves do not have a decision to carry the team's flag at a critical moment like Duncan, which is one of the biggest embarrassments that the Timberwolves have encountered in this series. Every time the fourth quarter was a game, the Timberwolves were inferior to the Spurs.

The fourth quarter of the Timberwolves and the Spurs has become very slow in the rhythm of the game, both teams dare not play fast now, now both teams want a success rate, at this time, whoever starts to make mistakes first will be the first to collapse, and when both teams do not make mistakes, then they will start to compete for the success rate and stars of the two teams, Nash's afterglow gently glanced at Duncan, who was ready to attack himself, this super interior line that had brought countless disasters to the Timberwolves took over the game in the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves are extremely aware of this, but there is no way, and there is no doubt that the Spurs' highest offensive success rate is when Duncan takes over the game.

Nash watched Duncan get to the basket after breaking through Jackson and pushing Garnett to complete a beautiful hook shot, and from the fourth quarter, the difference between the two teams was only 2 points because of Duncan's sudden power began to widen again.

"Oh? Wake Forest, this kid is really good, the Timberwolves are about to collapse" Magic Johnson in the stands looked at Duncan who suddenly became powerful and said in surprise, Duncan grew up under his witness, and now he has grown into a player who can give what he needs at critical moments, and he is not inferior to the giant shark in Los Angeles in this regard.

Zhuang Fei and D'Antoni nervously watched the development on the court, there is not much he can do for such things as the star Fawei, he has defended Duncan well enough, but still can't block him, and Duncan didn't have much of his own offense in the first three quarters of this game, so he now has enough physical strength to take over the fourth quarter of the game.

As the game progressed, time was passing little by little, and the Timberwolves' point difference began to slowly widen, and the Spurs fans on the sidelines seemed to see their team's hope of winning this game. Their shouts are getting louder and louder. As if it was in line with the offensive rhythm of the Spurs, and the same was true for Vicky on the side, he was relieved to see Duncan's current state and hot hand. If this game continues, the Spurs will definitely be able to suppress the Timberwolves, which is to suppress the Timberwolves with the power of the stars.

90-85, this is the current score of the two teams, the Timberwolves have performed enough, but now the score is still slowly being pulled away, this time the offense is still the Spurs, if this goal is scored then the final point difference will be widened to 7 points, then it will be really difficult to chase.

Nash stared closely at Johnson, the junior general in front of him. My heart is a little heavy, now the difference is almost 7 points, and there is not much time left in the game, only 6 minutes. He doesn't want to lose, he really doesn't want to lose, he doesn't want to see his teammates and his head coach sad, he's been happy since he left the Suns and came to the Timberwolves, he's found true joy in basketball. He didn't want this happiness to end, he wanted to go on with his brothers, and then let everyone witness their glory, which was already very close. But now it's distant. He was really unwilling, very unwilling.

"If only I could have the magic power of those three games"

"If only I had the power to change the fate of the team"

"If only I could be stronger. Our team will definitely be able to beat Spurs."

Nash wasn't the boss of the team, but he had a strong sense of self-blame at this time. Nash slowly raised his head and looked into the distance blankly, the fans were still shouting wildly, they were still sparing no effort to shout for the Spurs, Nash closed his eyes gently, thinking back to the three games at the beginning of the season that he never dreamed of, he was looking for this invincible feeling, and now the Timberwolves need his invincible state.

The little general Johnson saw Nash suddenly in a daze, and his heart was happy, and he immediately accelerated to break through Nash and then killed the Timberwolves' inside, this time the Timberwolves' pinching attack on Duncan was in place, since Duncan had contained such a huge defensive pressure, he could also stand up and score at this time, and the Timberwolves guard didn't know why he suddenly started in a daze.

"What is that kid doing, standing there looking up in a daze, forgetting to defend?" Vicky on the sidelines looked at Nash with some leisure, this kid created a lot of trouble for him, in the previous two games when the Spurs lost, Nash was able to hit key shots many times, and Nash's shooting in this game still made him feel cold, but now Vicky is no longer afraid, no one can win the current Spurs, the Timberwolves are definitely not good.

But just when Vicky was happily thinking about how to make fun of Zhuang Fei after winning, Nash suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes became extremely firm, and Vicky's heart suddenly burst out, as if something bad was about to happen. Just when Zhuang Fei was wondering why Nash was standing still, a pleasant electronic sound suddenly sounded in his ears. When he heard the specific content of this electronic sound, Zhuang Fei almost stood there like Nash, unable to move.

"Ding, the host player Steve Nash comprehends the mysterious power in the Magician star card on his own - inheritance, Stephen Nash will accept the inheritance of the Magician star card in this game, Ding, Steve Nash and the Magic star card match 100%, Steve Nash will get 100% of the Magician's ability in this game"

"Legacy?" Zhuang Fei opened his mouth and was dumbfounded, which means that now Nash is possessed by the magician's ability again?

"Cāo, it can't be such a coincidence" Zhuang Fei looked at the Nash on the court and found that his whole temperament was different.

At this time, the little general, who had already killed under the basket, suddenly found that someone seemed to be chasing after him.

"Avery, be careful" Duncan felt that it might be bad when he saw Nash suddenly chasing Johnson like a gust of wind, and sure enough, after Duncan's reminder, Johnson looked back and was startled, Nash was already chest against his back, and when he was about to dribble away, he found that his ball had been broken.

Pierce first saw Nash stay there and was ready to go over to make up for the little general, but in the middle of the game, he saw Nash suddenly start quickly, and a very familiar feeling told him that Nash would definitely be able to break the ball, so the moment Nash started, Pierce flew towards the Spurs' half, and he believed that the Timberwolves would have a chance to break quickly. So Pierce didn't hesitate at all, and gave up defense and went fast under the puzzled eyes of all the Spurs players.

Pierce's trust was not wrong, Nash did break the ball, and after breaking Johnson's ball, he handed it to Pierce, who had already played a fast break.

"Fast break, fast break again, Pierce's beautiful dunk, the Timberwolves played a fast break again, the difference was only 3 points, and the game left suspense again" ABC commentator Michaels shouted excitedly as he looked at a somewhat different Nash, almost standing up.

"That's what it feels, that's what it feels," Nash muttered to himself, looking down at his hands.

That's what made him invincible at that time.
