Chapter 269: The first dunk in history
。 Zhuang Fei did not surprise Larry Bird by replacing Ginobili at this time, at this time the whole team felt sluggish, and the inside line could not be opened, and in the end it could only be a breakthrough hand to strengthen the team, in the face of the Pacers' overcrowded restricted area like Mobley, a breakthrough hand like Mobley was a little difficult to use, at this time the Timberwolves could only replace Ginobili, in fact, Ginobili performed very well in the first half, although the peripheral feel was also very bad, but several wonderful breakthroughs made Larry Bird a little jealous, This time is the most critical time of the game, the fifteen-point difference, not very little, but also not a lot, if this point difference is finally maintained until the end of the third quarter, then the Pacers can be said to have touched the victory of this game with one hand, for the Timberwolves this time is the time to chase points.
"It seems that you, like my previous two games, also used the third quarter as the decisive one, but I will also defend the victory in this game like you did in the first two games," Larry Bird swore secretly in his heart after glancing at Zhuang Fei with a calm face next to him. The Timberwolves gave such a good opportunity in this game, and if they can't take it, it will also be a big blow to the morale of the Pacers, and it is a game that must be won or fought down no matter what.
"Humph, boy, you haven't scored 10 in this game, have you" Dale Davis had a great time, it's hard for any defender to defend a player like Garnett, but he's done a great job in this series. He knows he's a well-known defensive stalwart in the league, but to say that he still lacks the prestige he had before Rodman. The biggest shortcomings of these are, of course, the championship trophies and a representative series. But after this game, Dale Davis believes that both may be able to do both at the same time, and the person who brought those accolades to himself is the young interior player in front of him.
"One of the best power forwards in the league? Hmph, that's it," Dale Davis said secretly in his heart after looking at Garnett's slightly angry eyes, in Dale Davis's mind, even Duncan, who is now said to be godly, he can't look down on it. In the playoffs against the Heat in the last round, he also froze Mourning very well.
"Now is the time for me to correct my name" Thinking of this, Dale Davis's fighting spirit became much stronger, and at this time, Dale Davis also found that the young inside line in front of him had also changed a little.
Ginobili took the ball and looked around, I have to say that the Pacers' defensive arrangement is really good, it seems that they give themselves room to break through, in fact, as long as they break through 100%, they will encounter a combination, after a season of adaptation to the NBA, Ginobili's defensive reading of the NBA has also grown a lot, and it has begun to be valued by NBA teams after becoming famous in the regular season. It was the most painful time he thought he had, and his performance was terrible, but now that is behind him, Ginobili thinks he's going to be able to handle the ball well in the NBA.
"Kevin," Ginobili shouted. Garnett took a detour to the left side of the free-throw line directly from the free-throw line to receive the ball, and the Pacers were more rigid about Garnett's restrictions on the free-throw line, but there was no arrangement on the outside, so Garnett's pick-up was very easy.
Garnett looked at the defender in front of him, who was a little embarrassed, and to be honest. In his heart, he admires the ability of this player very much, and there are not many interior defenders in the league who can make him look at it, Duncan is one, and Mo Ning is one. Add Mutombo, and maybe Dale Davis this time.
"Is it time to be the best player in the league?" Garnett dribbled the ball quietly in place. There was a look of memory in his eyes, the number one player in the league. It's his dream and goal, but he doesn't know what kind of player is the best player in the league, just win the regular season MVP and the finals MVP? Obviously, maybe it wasn't that simple, and then he thought of Duncan, who had scared him a little from last year. …,
"Maybe it shouldn't be wrong to do what he did, I think this is also the real meaning of what the coach said" Thinking of this, Garnett didn't hesitate anymore, but at this time, Dale Davis seemed to be like a big enemy, he was an excellent defender, and the more people like this, the more they could observe what they said, and at this time Garnett gave him a burst of extremely dangerous breath. This time may be a little different from the past, and as soon as Dale Davis thought of this, Garnett was already moving.
"Huh? Is Garnett going to eat Dale Davis alone this time" Michaels was stunned, Garnett has been hiding from playing in these games.
"yes, maybe it's a little different," said Magic Johnson's eyes.
"Hmph, I'll see how you play this ball" Dale Davis calmed down a little and stared at Garnett with blazing eyes, his defensive strategy this time is to let Garnett take a step, let go of the shot and not let it go out, even if Garnett's ability to hold the ball is good, it is too realistic to break through from under his hands, and he is extremely confident in this. As for Garnett's shooting, he didn't care at all, if he had been before, maybe he would have blocked it, but now he won't even block it, and now the whole Timberwolves feel terrible.
Just when Dale Davis thought that Garnett might pull up and shoot directly, he found Garnett suddenly rushing towards him, without a trace of hesitation, just for a moment, the two collided together.
"It hurts, it's so powerful" Just the moment of contact, Dale Davis felt a huge pain in his chest, and it was obvious that this time Garnett's strength was much greater than before, but even so, as a determined defender, he was still in a good position to block Garnett's breakthrough route.
"Boy, if you want to break through me like this, you're still a little tender" At this time, Garnett was facing Dale Davis sideways, and at this time he was obviously preparing to turn his back and break through in another direction, Dale Davis looked at Garnett's series of actions and sneered in his heart, he was extremely confident in his defensive steps. There is absolutely no problem stopping Garnett.
"What?!" Just when Dale Davis was about to move sideways to the left to block Garnett's back from turning, he suddenly saw Garnett, who turned to the left, just a light turn and a complete change of direction, and at this time Davis also reacted and immediately changed the direction of the traverse, but just as he was about to block Garnett again, a huge force came from his right shoulder, which made him sit directly on the ground, and Garnett was speeding away in front of his eyes, At this time, all the Pacers players were stunned by this scene.
It was the first time Davis had been beaten by Garnett so perfectly.
Fortunately, center Smit reacted quickly and immediately put down O'Neal Jr. and prepared to turn back to make up for the defense, at this time O'Neal Jr. was already empty, if Garnett only threw the ball to the basket at this time, O'Neal Jr. would be an aerial relay directly, but at this time Garnett had no intention of doing so at all, but directly killed Smitters who came to make up for the defense.
Almost at the same time, Smiters and Garnett both jumped high, Garnett was ready to dunk, and Smitters was ready to block, Smit is indeed old now, even if he is not old, his bounce speed and bounce height are not as good as Garnett, but Smitters has a height of 2.24 meters, although his strength is not outstanding, but he can also carry it, so the Pacers fans present do not think that Garnett's slam dunk will be successful this time, Even Larry Bird, who was on the sidelines, was lightly relieved to see Garnett's scene, this time Garnett's choice was extremely unreasonable.
Just when everyone thought that Garnett would be blocked, Garnett's speed was rising at a speed that almost everyone could see with the naked eye, even though he and Smiters were already in physical contact and he was still rising into the air, and at this time, Smitter began to decline with some weakness. …,
Garnett surpassed Smitter, and then it was level with the basket, and Garnett was still rising after the basket, at this time Garnett was some distance from the basket, even if Garnett's arm span was superman, there was no way to dunk directly, Garnett also knew this, so he let himself keep rising, and then when he could look down at the basket, he directly smashed the ball in his hand to the basket.
It was a smashing dunk, and Garnett rode on Smitter's neck to complete the smashing dunk, and everyone looked at the basketball that Garnett smashed out, and the ball went into the net at a very fast speed.
Smash the buckle successfully!
At this time, all the people on the scene looked at Garnett, who was still riding on Smitter's neck, as if they were looking at a monster, at this time, Smitter also lost his balance and fell backwards, while Garnett pounced forward with his hands, and his hands hung on the basket without falling.
The sound of Garnett swaying up and down on top of the blue model was particularly harsh at this time, because all the fans in the stadium were silent. Because the Pacers have been leading just now, the Pacers fans on the scene are also extremely excited, but at this time they have no voice.
"It's a beast, it's a beast, it's the best dunk I've ever seen, it's the greatest dunk ever, it's a miracle in basketball history" Michaels shouted incoherently as he got up from his seat before almost everyone could react.
Under Michaels's passionate shout, the magic man Johnson next to him also came to his senses, and then muttered to himself: "It's such a domineering, to hell with all the reasonableness, this is what needs to be done at this time"
If the greatest point guard of all time were to be heard uttering something like 'let reason hell' make a lot of teamists vomit blood.
On the bench of the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei also clenched his fists fiercely, and there was an abnormal flush on his face.
"That's it, that's it" (To be continued)
