Chapter 393: Timberwolves VS Spurs (6)
"Bang!"
"Hey"
Immediately followed by the crisp sound of iron, the sighs of the audience rang out in the target center, and the fans' faces could not hide their disappointment, and after that, they looked at the situation on the field with more worry, and their hands could not help but cover their mouths.
"Rebounding!"
Vicky, who was already standing on the sidelines, yelled, reminding the Spurs players to scramble for this crucial rebound.
Under the basket turned into a real hand-to-hand combat arena, Love and Duncan, Jordan Jr. and Blair, several shirtless men were entangled like twisted arms, and they used each other's strength to get stuck in the most advantageous position, and the basketball fell on the hoop, and then bounced off the right rebound, bouncing off.
Two arms, one black and one white, stretched out and grabbed the rebound.
"Open!"
Duncan shouted, and the muscle power of the dragon-like thick arm exploded, and the aerial body and Lefu had the advantage in the confrontation, "Smack!" He was the first to get the rebound.
"Pause!"
"Pause!"
"Pause!"
Almost at the same time, Vicky, Ginobili and Duncan, who had the ball, gestured to the referee to ask for a timeout.
The Spurs took a timeout, the score was still 111-110, the Timberwolves led by one point, and the Spurs only had 14.8 seconds left.
But now, the suspense is stacked.
The audience was silent and disappointed. Afflalo's missed three-pointer gave the Spurs a chance to turn around. Afraro himself was remorseful. I knew that I should really take two steps into it just now, just thinking about the 4-point advantage and leading the insurance, but I didn't expect that the pressure on the Timberwolves would be even greater after I couldn't shoot.
Smith was also thrilled at this time. The speed of his speech increased a lot, "Things have changed!" A late offensive shockwave from the Spurs caught up with the score, and Afflalo's three-point miss gave the Spurs a chance to equalize or even overtake the score! Will Spurs come back? Will the Spurs slam out? ”
Barkley opened his mouth, eager to scold Afflalo, but after smashing his mouth, he still chose to purse his lips and remain silent.
Everyone knows that the Spurs are a tough nut, but they didn't expect the Spurs to force the Timberwolves into such a situation. Danny Green, who shot 4-of-5 from three-point range in the fourth quarter, became the Spurs' hero. His performances are fantastic. The battle of wits and courage of the coaches of both sides, Zheng Ke's great might, everything made this great game enough to go down in history.
And now. The classics continue
After the game, the players on both sides also kept silent. Zheng Ke turned his head to look among the Spurs' player pile, found Danny Green, who played a miraculous performance in the fourth quarter, and then a gleam flashed in his eyes. Foot movement. Walked over. Thibodeau's timeout just now saw Zheng defend Danny Green himself, while Ginobili left Afraro in defense.
The audience can't tell the difference between such defensive changes, but it feels like the players of the Timberwolves and Spurs are crowded together, and it is not clear which defense is which. But the players on the court themselves knew as if they were mirrors, and Danny Green could feel the immense momentum of the athletes leaning next to him.
The whistle sounds, and people move.
Before the time of the game began to turn, the Spurs players immediately followed the arrangement of the final attack of **vic. A wall of cover was formed at the elbow area. Danny Green ran from the high post to the bottom corner, after the wall did the cover. Also starting to move, Parker followed Blair's cover and ran to the perimeter, looking like he was going to catch the ball.
Ginobili went around the outside and suddenly got up and ran back to the other side of the three-point line at 45 degrees, and under Blair's second cover, Afflalo's footsteps were significantly delayed.
Duncan's eyes lit up, and he made a pass in advance.
The basketball was whizzing by, Ginobili had just reached 45 degrees, and the time of the game was turning at that moment.
"Don't think about me!" Afflaro then arrived, his defensive stance was extremely standard, his heels not touching the ground, and his hands were spread like eagles catching chickens.
Thibodeau didn't dare to guess the Spurs' tactical strategy at this time, ** Vicky is cunning like a fox, and both outside and inside offense are possible.
And Ginobili, who received the ball, grabbed the basketball, and went to the inside with a cat waist, and after choosing a time difference, he had a little advantage in the confrontation with Oflaro.
Attacking the basket directly or breaking through the ball?
The fans are thinking, but the players on the pitch don't have time to react. Jordan Jr.'s excellent sense of helping to defend was reflected, and he immediately moved quickly and stepped into the paint area, ready to give Ginobili a loud hat at any time.
Ginobili also struggled to break through with Afflaro's interference, and after dribbling two steps, he chose to split the ball and handed it to Parker, who had already run to the bottom corner.
"Whew~"
The referee's eyes shifted as the basketball shifted, and his eyes focused on Parker, who received the ball.
At this time, Ginobili's Argentine cells were reflected, and then inertia, he pushed on the leaning Aflaro, who was stumbling and losing his center of gravity by his hidden small movements. At this time, Ginobili began to run back, retreating outside the three-point line.
At this critical time, Afflaro didn't dare to fall with the trend, if the referee didn't blow the foul, he would be finished. So after suffering a small loss, he used his strong body adjustment ability to stabilize his center of gravity, and then ran out and followed behind Avlalo.
Ginobili re-received the pass with eight seconds left and the Spurs were yet to attack effectively.
"There is no choice but to attack!"
Looking at Danny Green, who was lost in Zheng Ke's defense, Ginobili's eyes froze, knowing that he had no choice and that he had to force the ball to solve it. So he immediately dribbled across a step, exploded at full speed, controlled the basketball with his left hand, and broke through to the left side.
The two made physical contact, with Afflaro defending well.
After three steps. Ginobili suddenly stopped, his movements strange. Afflaro followed, but he also continued to burst out. Always ready for another dribble breakthrough from Ginobili. Having seen a lot of tempo changes like this, Afflaro has seen a lot.
Ginobili didn't choose to attack under the basket with more lethality and shooting percentage, but suddenly took a big step with his left foot, his body drifted back diagonally, and his left hand made a shooting pose.
"Step back jumper?" Despite his surprise, Aflaro reacted immediately.
Ginobili shoots with a weird left-handed position and is very fast. The man had already thrown the ball while he was still in the air, and Afflaro's block had no effect on him. but it covered his eyes.
"There it is!"
After the Shaolin abbot sounded in the eighties, Afralo's face was pale. This offense and defense are his responsibility. It had a great impact on him.
However, the entire target center became even more silent, and the rapid breathing of everyone in the silent arena could be heard. Many female fans with the logo of the Timberwolves team painted on their beautiful faces have foggy eyes in their eyes, most of them are from local universities in Minnesota, who have witnessed the rise of the Timberwolves in recent years, and especially hope to see the Timberwolves reach the top again like in 09.
112-111, with 1.74 seconds left in the clock, the Spurs overtook by one point!
The Timberwolves didn't have waves when they were downwind, but they were forced to look like this by the Spurs. It has to be said that the Spurs are a natural nemesis for the Timberwolves. It is also a mountain that Zheng Ke has been pressing on his head since he entered the NBA. Just like the Pistons who suppressed Jordan back then, the Spurs also played the role of the biggest stumbling block on the road to superstardom.
And at present, it seems that this stumbling block is smelly and hard, and it has had a huge impact on the timberwolves, which are known as the invincible army.
Thibodeau said: "Zheng Ke, take a direct shot when you have a chance to catch the ball, we believe in you." ”
Zheng Ke nodded, it was inevitable that the last attack of the Timberwolves would be executed. This is the responsibility that he must bear as the boss of the team, so after Thibodeau confessed, he was obligated to take it. Of the Timberwolves, only his jump shot could not be blocked, and he also had a high shooting percentage on the last shot of his career.
The time to test the Spurs' defense came, Thibodeau arranged a cover for Zheng Ke, and the sideline was Jordan Jr., who had no last offensive ability but grew tall, and among the three of Lefou, Afflaro, and Billups, Billups was the second shot option, pretending to slip the bottom line to attract firepower, and Zheng Ke passed through the cover of Lefu and others.
The timeout is over and the players step onto the field.
Zheng Ke's heart was beating rapidly for the first time, and so far in his career, he has seen all the winds and waves, but this execution of the last shot always made him feel a special feeling in his heart, excitement, excitement, nervousness, and all kinds of flavors mixed together. As soon as the referee's whistle blew, he began to run, running past the Lefous cover in the straight line, and his body exploded with speed, passing all the defenders in an instant, and rushing out of the three-point line 45 degrees.
Zheng Ke received the ball, and Jefferson pounced with his teeth and claws.
At that moment, his thinking was so clear, after taking the ball, he turned his body, pretended to shoot, sent his right hand, and avoided Jefferson's defense as if he was shifting, and then adjusted the center of gravity of the whole person's body. He jumped two calves, one in front of the other, and then bent his knees and jumped very high.
Duncan jumped up and stepped forward to block it, Zheng Ke's arms were straightened, and the height of the whole person's jump, plus the arm span, just made his hands higher than Duncan's fingertips.
"Go!"
Zheng Ke secretly sighed in his heart, pressed his wrist down, and gently pulled out the basketball with his fingertips.
With only one point and just over a second, most coaches will probably opt for a two-point shot. However, Thibodeau chose the Zen master-style teaching, and it was completely left to Zheng Ke to decide, Zheng Ke scored two points when he had a two-point chance, and Zheng Ke ran to the three-point line to catch the ball and chose three points!
The ball is in the air and the red light is on.
The arc was perfect, the ball speed was not fast, and in the anticipation of Timberwolves fans around the world, the basketball began to decline and gradually approached the hoop.
It was as if time had stood still at that moment, and everyone's hearts had stopped.
"Huh!"
Hollow into the frame, net flowers flying (to be continued......)
PS: It's almost the end of the season, good
