"What a desperate moment," Magic Johnson sighed softly from the stands, now he felt like his eardrums were about to burst, the entire Alamo Arena was simply overturned, and all the Spurs fans had begun to wake up from the despair just now, and began to sing and dance again, as if they were ready for the victory that had come.

"One of the greatest Western Conference Finals in NBA history, it's true, if the Timberwolves can still complete the counter-shutout, then even one of them can be removed" Magic Johnson looked up at the scoreboard, 102-104, a difference of 2 points, 3 seconds.

The Timberwolves' bench was quiet and terrible, everyone felt like they were prostrating, with Elliott's shot, the Timberwolves players' hearts changed instantly, and even some players had a psychological breakdown, such as Rashad Lewis, who was already crying, after entering the playoffs, the Timberwolves' starters appeared more on the bench, and he became a veritable fake starter, which is also Zhuang Fei's protection of him, after all, he is just a high school rookie, and the regular season is already reluctant, He hasn't been used to this kind of confrontation in the playoffs, so more often than not, the Timberwolves have Mobley on the court. Lewis cried, and Pierce, one of the team's leading players compared to him, was stunned, completely confused, sitting on the ground as if he had lost his soul, not knowing what to do, and constantly repeating "how can this be, how can this be".

In addition to these two people, everyone else is depressed, even Garnett, who has always been lawless and unknowing, is also depressed, and now the Timberwolves are on the verge of collapse, and everyone's psychological defense has begun to crumble. 3 seconds? Scoring a goal in 3 seconds against the Spurs' defense, it was too difficult.

Nash quietly looked at his teammates from the sidelines, without making a sound, he was waiting for the head coach's final decision, but when he saw Pierce's distracted expression, his heart suddenly twitched, if the Timberwolves can't win this time, then Pierce will be unable to extricate himself from this psychological burden for the rest of his life, which is a fatal blow to him, and Elliott is the one who completed on his head.

"This game must be won" Nash looked at Pierce and swore in his heart, and just as he was thinking about avenging Pierce, head coach Zhuang Fei interrupted his thoughts with a loud shout.

"Paul, what the are you thinking, stand up for me" Zhuang Fei looked at Pierce, who was paralyzed on the ground, and felt distressed in his heart, and shouted at Pierce.

Zhuang Fei rarely scolded the players like this, everyone looked at Zhuang Fei carefully at this time, and even Lewis, who was still crying just now, stopped sobbing. Pierce, who was still immersed in his own world just now and kept blaming himself, also came back to his senses and looked at Zhuang Fei guiltily, if he was cautious and careful with that ball, the Timberwolves would definitely not be such a result.

Seeing that Pierce played the jīng god again, Zhuang Fei's face looked a lot better, his heart is also very messy now, it is impossible to say that he does not regret it, when Garnett resisted Duncan, Zhuang Fei once saw that the goddess of victory was waving to him, but in an instant, the goddess of victory left, although Zhuang Fei is in a bad mood now, but the arrangement still needs to be arranged, although it is only 3 seconds, but it is definitely not impossible to win.

"Now our tactic is very simple, is to put the ball in Nash's hands, everyone covers Nash, let him receive the ball, this time the sideline ball is sent by Kevin, everyone is lined up, we use an explosive service method" The explosive serve, as the name suggests, is that everyone gets together first, and then as soon as the referee's whistle blows, everyone scatters, which not only opens up space but also makes it easier to receive the ball.

"In the end, no matter who receives Kevin's sideline ball, he must find Nash as soon as possible, there is really no chance to attack by himself, and you Kevin, I need you to be decisive when you serve, and try to pass the ball as soon as possible when the Spurs players are not defending in place" Zhuang Fei looked at Nash and Garnett with a solemn face, and the two nodded fiercely.

There is nothing wrong with Zhuang Fei handing over the last shot to the Nash Timberwolves, and Nash's performance in the final moments of this game deserves everyone's trust.

"Our goal this time is to get the ball in, so you don't have to think about three or two points, Steve, in the end it's all up to you, whether it's a break or a shot, you decide"

No one is more nervous than Zhuang Fei now, watching the Timberwolves players walk on the court one by one, Zhuang Fei's heart is also pinched, and his legs have been spinning, if he stands down again, he is really afraid that he will regret lying on the ground the most, just when Zhuang Fei was about to turn around and sit back on the seat, he saw ** Vicky on the side of the court with his head in his hands, his eyes were staring at the court tightly, his mouth seemed to be still chanting, I don't know what he was saying, seeing this scene Zhuang Fei himself was relieved, not to mention that he was just trembling with his legs now, now** Veki was almost already a jīng god, and he was a little nervous.

"The players should be more nervous than me now," he was a little surprised to think of these young players reaching such heights this year. There is no comparable thing to say and do.

"Now the two teams are all in place, according to the position of the Timberwolves, they are ready to use an explosive serve, the Spurs have removed the Admiral, and now Robinson has no effect on staying on the court, only 3s, the Spurs must not leak people now, and the five people on the Timberwolves have extremely high offensive ability, and it is dangerous to put anyone" Michaels said nervously, his palms are now full of sweat.

All the players from the Timberwolves and Spurs gathered around the free-throw line, and the two teams were close to each other at the free-throw line, and the two teams were now ready to scatter at any time.

As the referee blew the whistle, all the Timberwolves players scattered and separated, Nash immediately ran outside the three-point line on the right side, and the little general Johnson and Kerr actually stared at Nash, Nash couldn't receive the opportunity to pass the ball at all, not only that, optimistic about the Timberwolves players scattered, Duncan also decisively gave up the restricted area and rushed out, and came to the free throw line near ready to help defend.

Garnett was a little anxious when he saw that Nash couldn't catch the ball for the first time, so he hesitated, and the other Spurs defenders also found their own opponents, and at this time, the Timberwolves missed the best time to serve, and Jackson could only come to the center circle to respond, and Garnett passed the ball out, which also made Zhuang Fei on the sidelines frown, and this time the sideline ball did not play to cooperate.

There are only three seconds, Jackson didn't dare to dribble and stop the ball, but he can't attack near the center circle now, just when he was hesitating what to do, he saw a Pierce who pushed Elliott away, this time Jackson didn't hesitate, Pierce quickly got the ball two steps outside the left three-point line, and at the moment Pierce received the ball, Elliott also followed, at this time Pierce was running towards Nash almost at his maximum speed, and Nash was also running towards him, Zhuang Fei on the sidelines looked at this situation, his throat was about to jump out, and it was obvious that Pierce wanted to give the ball to Nash. But is there enough time, Zhuang Fei subconsciously looked up at the timer, and his back was almost cold.

"The Timberwolves are still playing tactics? There's no time, it's time for Pierce to make a shot" Michaels exclaimed on the sidelines, and just then, Pierce and Nash met at the top of the three-point arc.

"It's all up to Steve," Pierce put the ball in Nash's hands and used all his strength to stop Johnson and Kerr. He's the sinner behind the team, and now it's his only chance to make amends, even if it's all he has to clear all the obstacles for Nash.

Nash looked at Pierce, who was almost bared teeth, and there was no hesitation in his heart, Pierce's block was very good, not only blocking Kerr and Johnson but also blocking Elliott very well.

"This ball will definitely go in" Just as Nash threw the ball, his eyes shrank at the heart of the timer, which had been reset to zero.

The ball was gliding in the air, and at this time everyone had already subconsciously looked at the ball, and Zhuang Fei, who had been paying attention to the timer, shook his head and sighed after seeing Nash throw the ball.

"Brushed" a three-point shot, but the scene was still dead, no one cheered, the Spurs did not, and neither did the Timberwolves. The two teams fell silent as if they had agreed.

"It's in, it's in, but it's time," Michaels muttered

The atmosphere of the press conference after the game was very strange, the winning ** vic was very silent, and the losing Zhuang Fei was also silent.

"It's not because I'm upset that I don't speak, on the contrary, I'm happy with our team's performance, they've done enough to do it, so I'm not upset, I just want to give a place to the winner tonight, Mr. Greg is the biggest winner tonight" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, no one could see the bitterness on his face.

**Vicky was very surprised, Zhuang Fei didn't go crazy as he imagined, today he won, but this process made him still have palpitations when he remembered it, and now his mood has not calmed down.

"Our team won, the Timberwolves are strong, really strong, we were lucky to win, that's what I said," Vicky said with a sigh.

After Vicky finished speaking, the reporters off the court were stunned again, **Vicky was still saying that the Timberwolves won the game some time ago, but now why did he suddenly say that he won the game because of luck? Vicky is an almost hard-hearted man, and it's too hard to change his mind. But it was clear that this match definitely left an indelible mark on his heart to make him say such things.

"Coach Z, which team do you think New York or the Pacers can win" Just as the scene fell silent again, a reporter from New York suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with this game.

Zhuang Fei knew at a glance that he was a reporter from the New York Times, he was too familiar, he was too familiar with reporters in New York. Originally, Zhuang Fei was not interested in wasting too much time in the press conference, after all, there was still a group of young players in the Timberwolves locker room who needed him to comfort.

"Knicks, I think the Knicks will win" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, this is not Zhuang Fei's nonsense, the Pacers are really not the Knicks' opponents, not at present.

"You mean the Knicks are going to make it to the Finals?" The New York Times reporter almost didn't believe his ears, and Coach Z, who had always been against New York, was optimistic that New York would make it to the finals. Not only was he surprised, but so were the others at the scene. **Vicky also looked at Zhuang Fei for a long time, and he also heard a little about the relationship between Zhuang Fei and New York.

"If the Knicks really made it to the finals and then won the championship, would you regret declining the invitation from New York" The New York Times reporter looked at Zhuang Fei with a proud tone, he now wanted to see remorse and pain on Zhuang Fei's face, but he stared at it for a long time and didn't see Zhuang Fei have the slightest expression.

"Champion? Hehe, I think the Knicks can enter the Finals, but I also think that the Knicks will be swept by the Spurs, 4-0, and this is the final result of the Finals," Zhuang Fei said with a playful smile as he looked at the New York Times reporter whose face had become ugly.

"Hmph. Mr. Zhuang, you're jealous," the New York reporter said sarcastically.

"Jealousy? No, no, it's true, because the current Timberwolves can sweep the Knicks 4-0, and I think the Timberwolves, as the champions of the West, should have no problem, **Mr. Vicky, do you say yes? Zhuang Fei suddenly turned his words and looked at ** Vicky.

At this time, Vicky, who found that he had become the focus of the audience, could only smile bitterly in his heart, but when he heard Zhuang Fei say that the Timberwolves could beat the Knicks 4-0, he once again had a fighting spirit in his heart.

"He can really grasp people's weaknesses," looking at Zhuang Fei's departing back, ** Wei thought to himself, this opponent is really terrible

When Zhuang Fei walked into the Timberwolves locker room, all the Timberwolves players lowered their heads and looked depressed, this game is really a pity The victory is only one step away, but it is this step that makes them feel that the world is separated.

"Why, it looks like it's soulless"

The Timberwolves player knew that Zhuang Fei was back when he heard the voice, and when he looked up, he found that Zhuang Fei didn't seem to be angry at all, nor did he look frustrated, and even had a smile on his face.

"Coach, it's all my fault, if it wasn't for my mistake in defending Elliott at the end, we would have won" Pierce cried with a sad face, almost crying.

"Coach, it's not all Paul's fault, if it weren't for my hesitation to serve the sideline, we would have had enough time to complete the stunner" Garnett saw Paul Pierce jump out to take responsibility, as the boss of the team, he had to complete the task given to him by the team at a critical moment, and it was naturally his responsibility.

Just after Pierce and Garnett took the mistake, other Timberwolves players also talked about their mistakes and mistakes made in this series, which made Zhuang Fei amused and moved at the same time. These players have really grown, and this losing series has really changed them a lot.

"Okay, don't fight," Zhuang Fei interrupted with a smile as he saw them becoming more and more excited.

"You've done great, I'm satisfied, everybody makes mistakes, nobody is a god, you're still young, most of your players are in their first year in the NBA, some of you have never been in the playoffs, so I'm very happy with your performance this year."

"We lost, but we didn't fail, as long as we can improve ourselves, we will definitely be able to come back again"

"We're just 0.1s away from the championship"

"Only 0.1s away from the championship" All the Timberwolves players were chewing on Zhuang Fei's words, and they all had a realization in their hearts, and the frustration on everyone's faces slowly disappeared, replaced by a look of longing and longing.

"Coach, don't worry, next season we will grasp the 0.1s of our own destiny"

"Yes, coach, we will be able to succeed next season"

Seeing that the faces of young players such as the Timberwolves regained the vitality of young people, Zhuang Fei was also a lot more relieved

The game was lost, and the Timberwolves didn't have the heart to stay in San Antonio, and the Timberwolves flew back to Minnesota on a charter flight overnight, and when the Timberwolves returned to Minnesota up and down, it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning.

"This year's summer is over," the Timberwolves couldn't help but feel a little trance when they got off the plane.

But when everyone in the Timberwolves walked out of the airport, they found that the airport was surrounded entirely, and there was a dense crowd outside the airport, and these people all shouted after seeing Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players.

For a while, the sound of cheers and shouts came and went, and at this moment, Minnesota, which was already very quiet, was noisy again.

Zhuang Fei looked at these fans who had been waiting for hours and was a little moved, although the Timberwolves lost but won a lot of things, the most important of which is the support of all the fans in Minnesota, you must know that when Zhuang Fei first came here, everyone was cheering for him and his players.

"Kevin, are you crying?"

"I didn't, it's just a little windy now"

"I'm suddenly hoping that we can do it all over again, and if we do it again, we will be able to beat the Spurs and give these fans the NBA trophy."

"The coach said, we haven't failed yet, sooner or later we will win the championship, I swear"

"I also swear that the next time they come to greet us, they will see the championship trophy and I hope they can see the championship flag flying over the target center every night."
