Chapter 391: Timberwolves VS Spurs (4)
In the commentary box, Barkley and Kenny Smith both changed their expressions.
Kenny Smith said: "The competition has entered the final bayonet fight stage, and it is exciting and exciting. No one thought that Danny Green, the young man on the fourth-quarter schedule of "Bobo" Vic, would become a surprise player for the Spurs. He made 3-of-4 three-pointers in the fourth quarter and scored nine points, and I think the lad will make the headlines tomorrow. ”
Barkley also sighed: "I really didn't expect such a dramatic change, the Spurs were already tired after the end of the third quarter, and it looks like the overall situation has been decided." But they have used unexpected changes and tenacious willpower to support them until now, which is admirable.
The two sides arranged the final tactics and walked back to the field.
Zheng Ke walked in front of Danny Green, he looked carefully at the man with small stubble, and smiled: "Jefferson has been squeezed down by you?" You can do it! ”
Danny Green hadn't yet learned Zheng Ke's trash talk, and after Zheng Ke opened his mouth, he picked up the conversation and retorted: "It's just that I feel better today." ”
"Oh?" Zheng Ke didn't expect Danny Green to answer, his current trash talk is famous in the NBA circle. Except for some feelings like Anthony and Pierce who have mixed up with Zheng Ke, most people will choose not to hear it and ignore Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke became interested, and blurted out: "How good does it feel?" Do you feel good about the skin of your Holy City nightclub girls? Oh yes, a good baby like you shouldn't have been to a nightclub yet, right? Or maybe "Bobo" Vicky is very tightly managed, and I don't think Tim will take you around, right? Come on, come on the Timberwolves, I'll take you to Minnesota's prettiest girl."
Danny Green: ""
The race is on. Spurs serve on the sideline. It was passed to Parker, who dribbled to the top of the arc and opened up the distance between him and Billups with Duncan's pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll was done, Parker drove straight in. He was very fast, and he hit the inside in an instant.
Without the aftermath of Jordan Jr., Parker played a high throw two meters in front of Pekovic and scored two points. 104 to 100.
The Timberwolves players are feeling the pressure and playing so anxiously that they haven't had a few times this season.
Under pressure, mistakes will inevitably occur. On the Timberwolves' side, Lefu responded with a high position, and when he gave Afralo who was running back in the air, the basketball was cut down by the quick-eyed Ginobili, who immediately dribbled and rushed, and the Spurs planned a rare fast break.
Even if Lefu enjoys extremely high popularity in China, this is a critical time. It is inevitable that it will be sprayed by Chinese fans.
"Damn, what kind of pass is this, will it be played?" "A birdie ball at this time? Give Zheng Ke a beating! “
In the eyes of Chinese fans, at this time, Zheng Ke is no problem, and it is a big mistake if his teammates have problems, and it is absolutely unacceptable.
The Spurs were not fast on the counter-attack. At least the speed of Zheng Ke and others' retreat makes it difficult for the Spurs to launch an effective fast break. Ginobili quickly advanced to the front court outside the three-point line, and after observing the situation on the court, he decisively chose to stop outside the three-point line and wait for his teammates to arrive.
There were 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the race.
After the Spurs players plugged in the back row, Zheng Ke and others had already lined up, and Zheng Ke stood in front of Ginobili, who was in possession of the ball, with open hands and strict waiting.
Spurs aren't in a hurry to attack, it's their usual style.
Even though they were four points behind on the field, the stability that went deep into the bone marrow made them seem to be able to stay calm at all times. Ginobili didn't force the attack either, and Parker came over and gave the ball to Parker. Let Parker start organizing a new round of Spurs offense at the top of the arc.
Parker and Duncan blocked and dismantled in the high post, and after going around and around, the high post got an open opportunity and made a pull-up jumper.
Hit! 104 to 102.
This series of hits made the Timberwolves' heart tangled in their throats, and Parker just had a series of highlights. Looks like he's going to be the savior who saves the Spurs! "Don't panic, don't mess around!"
Billups pushed forward with the ball and let out a loud cheer to boost the morale of the Timberwolves.
At this time, every goal is crucial, and in the space of more than two minutes, it is likely that a small mistake will ruin a good situation. The pressure is on the Timberwolves players at the moment, and Billups gestures to signal Zheng to run without the ball, which is one of the best tactics for the Timberwolves to play in positional battles.
Zheng Ke understood, ran out of the baseline, and received a pass in advance of Loops in the left elbow area.
Zheng Ke received the ball and shot directly, accompanied by a little backward and drifting. In front of him was Danny Green, who pounced on him later, and the two of them put on a show-like scene in the air. "Huh!"
This kind of catch-and-turn jumper is one of the points that Zheng Ke is most sure of.
The two teams each missed a shot, and the game entered the final two minutes, when the 106-102 Timberwolves still led by four points, which meant that the Spurs would be able to tie the score at least two rounds.
At 1 minute and 51 seconds, Duncan missed a single shot in the low post, but grabbed a rebound in the front court and hit a rebound. 106 to 104.
The margin was too close, and the Timberwolves were in possession of the ball, but there was a feeling that the Spurs might tie the score in the next round.
Zheng Ke dribbled the ball through half the court and did not choose to pass. After the top of the arc let his teammates pull away, the Spurs didn't dare to come up at this time, and Blair let go of Pekovic and wandered around the paint area, ready to defend the box at any time. Standing outside the 45-degree three-point line on the sideline, Duncan could only follow him, because Lefou's three-point line was too accurate to be guarded.
A one-on-one situation was formed, and Spurs fans sweated for Danny Green.
Zheng spent the last 14 seconds before dribbling forward and making a couple of back-to-back crosswalks to get close to Danny Green on the three-point line. "Do you want to break through?" Danny Green's pupils dilated, and he retreated slightly like a lobster.
And the "bobo" vic on the sidelines suddenly crossed a light in his mind, and then stood up in horror and blurted out: "Don't retreat, he wants to shoot!" ”
"He's going to shoot!"
Before the words of "bobo" vic fell, Zheng Ke stopped his body outside the three-point line, and then suddenly grabbed the basketball, drove his feet to jump with one foot, and his body "swished", and flew into the sky like a gravitational pull out of the earth's gravity, and he was going to pull out of the three-point line at this critical time.
Danny Green only reacted at this time and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Huh!"
When he came up, Zheng Ke had already shot, and the arc of the basketball projection was not high, but it was a real three-point hollow ball, swinging a snow-white net.
At 1:36, the Timberwolves led by five points at 109-104.
Zheng Ke's key three-pointer with a big heart and an unreasonable shooting method completely detonated the target center. The Timberwolves fans, who were forced to be suppressed by the Spurs' chasing points, roared hysterically and slapped their palms frantically as if they were trying to vent their frustration in their hearts, and the sound that came out instantly overshadowed all the sounds in the center of the target, and even the DJ's amplified sound disappeared into the wave of encouragement.
Spurs take a timeout.
"Bobo" Vic had nothing to say, he had no time to comfort Danny Green, who was obviously a little depressed, at this time. The Spurs are back in a life-or-death moment, and the offense in the next round is crucial, and if they lose, the Timberwolves' morale will be even higher, and the Spurs will struggle even more.
At this time, "Bobo" Vic can only pin his hopes on Duncan.
"Bobo" vic said: "Tim, the next round is up to you. The Timberwolves are currently very strong on the outside, and relatively not that strong on the inside. Lefou's height and arm span are far from yours, and his steps are not so nimble, he can turn around and pass him."
The clock is within two minutes, and Jordan Jr. can finally play.
The NBA stipulates that fouls on non-players in the last two minutes are considered technical fouls, and they will be charged with two free throws, so that the Spurs will not dare to use shark slashing tactics or anything. So we can often see that for the final tactical foul, there are often players who chase the ball carrier all over the court, and they are subject to this rule.
Spurs serve, Parker dominates.
Parker and Duncan played pick-and-rolls first, but the Timberwolves defended tightly and he didn't get a shot. Parker then distributed the ball to Ginobili on the wing, and at this time Duncan walked to the right low post, leaning on Lefou, spreading his arms, ready to feed the outside player.
Ginobili hoisted over, Duncan holding his hands steady.
Thibodeau's strong interior play against the Spurs at this time is no exception, and this Spurs team is still not much different from the team that won the championship in '07 in the end. Although Duncan is not in good shape in the regular season this year and has been plagued by some injuries, his strength is still there, and if he plays the Timberwolves, without a point advantage, it is basically impossible to win.
So, Duncan got the ball, Duncan was low, and Duncan was going to play hard (to be continued.)
