Chapter 853 Strike of the Holy City
If the time ends before these 10.8 seconds.

The Lakers are paralyzed, and this incident is also the most frequently mentioned failure after Tang Qian retired.

Because it is painful, it is so profound.

Popovich was not as angry as usual when he got off, but took out the tactical board directly and began to quickly draw tactics.

"I'll serve the ball straight up the frontcourt and play a T tactic. Toni, you'll give the ball to Danny after the half court, and then go directly to the 45-degree angle on the left and beyond the 3-point line. Don't give the ball directly to Tony. Turn it around. Give it to Boris at the top arc first, Boris, you handle the ball according to the situation, if Tony has a chance, give it to Tony, if not, then give it to Tim in the penalty area. Tim drives to the basket and then gives the outside screen a chance, or Tony goes to the inside to do an unconventional low screen, Tim moves to the other side of the penalty area or goes out to the high position. If it is Tony, it is the same as the whole court. Open, wait for Tony to go to the 3-point line and then move to the strong and weak side, Tim covers the low post, Boris covers the high post, if you go on the wing, it is a double screen in the middle, so as to create the largest non-interference shooting space, understand?" Seeing that the Spurs players nodded, Popovich said again: "Don't stop the ball as a whole, but move the ball decisively. You must grasp it well for more than 10 seconds. The more we get to this time, the more we need to reflect our San Antonio execution. Strength and mental strength, usually so many tactical exercises, now is the time to practice!"

"Go up, end the Lakers at home, let the whole world know that this year's Western Conference champion is still our San Antonio Spurs!"

The Lakers are still immersed in the joy of overtaking the score, including Mike D'Antoni, who is a bit erratic, feeling that the happiness came too suddenly.And this situation is actually a very dangerous mental laxity.But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame the Lakers, because they have played this round of the series for so long, and it is the first time they have a real lead. The real victory is in front of them. is increasing day by day.

Playing again, the Spurs served the frontcourt ball, and the Lakers immediately came up to defend. After Parker got the ball, he gave it to Danny Green who was outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, and then he went to the other side without the ball. Run at a 45-degree angle on one side.Of course, Jordan Farmer is chasing after him, but at this time, Dior, who mentioned the position of the top arc, took a step, and the screen delayed Jordan Farmer, but now the screen is not solid, it just blocks and withdraws .But it also slightly confused the Lakers' defensive formation.

There are more than 8 seconds left in the time.

Danny Green passed the basketball to Diaw at the top arc. Seeing that Parker's position was not good, Diaw immediately passed the basketball into the right penalty area of ​​the Lakers at the top arc.That place, because there was only one Duncan, was pretty empty.However, after Mike D'Antoni saw that the Spurs passed the basketball choice to No. 21 Duncan, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

why?Because although all four of the Spurs went to high positions and emptied the Lakers' inside defensive force, as long as the Eastern No. 4 remained in the inside, D'Antoni felt that the Spurs were attacking the Lakers' overall strongest point. up.

After all, Tang Qian is the league's consecutive block leader. At the same time, he is also the owner of DPOY and the first defense this year. The 38-year-old Duncan wants to rely on singles to attack hard. In fact, the success rate in D'Antoni's view is not too high.And Duncan is not an insider like Nowitzki. Although he has a mid-range range, he mostly takes open shots. Like Nowitzki's shooting, his shooting percentage will only be dismal.Therefore, seeing the Spurs' ball go to the inside Duncan's hands, D'Antoni subconsciously had this idea in his heart.

The Spurs pulled away, and it seemed that Duncan was going to play singles. Tang Qian also waited for it. Looking at the Spurs No. 21 holding the ball in front of him, his expression was very serious and serious.He also made up his mind not to let Duncan score this goal.And based on his current "half-god descent" and the "defense The.Zone" state he has just entered again, the 38-year-old Duncan is considered a "super god", and Tang Qian will not lose his suppressive confidence in his defense of.

If the Spurs really want to rely on Tim. Duncan to solve the problem, it is a big mistake.

This Duncan is no longer the Duncan of 10 years ago.

If he wants to play himself one-on-one in the low post, his chances of winning are very small.

This is not Tang Qian's arrogance, or the Duncan in front of him is no longer the Duncan he used to be. Even the top ten super giants in history cannot avoid physical decline and decline.Maybe it will last longer than ordinary stars, but it will definitely not reach the age of 38.Even if he is as strong as Jordan at the age of 38-39 and returns to the Wizards, hasn't he lost the absolute dominance a few years ago?
At the age of 30, the competition is cost and maintenance, and at the age of 35, it is possible to fall off the cliff every year.

Everyone is the same.

No one is immune.

Duncan played singles, turned around and wanted to go directly to the inside basket, but he didn't make a shot, and passed the basketball in his hand after going deep inside.At this moment, the time is only more than 5 seconds.

Didn't hit?Are the Spurs really ready to wait until the last second?Their team execution is so strong?

Mike D'Antoni watched from the sidelines, and suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

But now, he can't do anything.

Because he just feels, and doesn't know what the Spurs will do, and you expect him to control and fine-tune the team's defense in real time on the sidelines, that is a dream.It's better to rely on the Lakers players' own defensive awareness and defensive instincts.

Kobe is not stupid. He knows that the Lakers' strongest defensive point is himself and No. 29 on the inside, but he has a limited number of outsiders to take care of, and it is impossible to double up.So...the safest way to defend is to drive the Spurs' offense to the Lakers' inside and basket. After all, compared with the wings and high positions, the range of the inside is undoubtedly much smaller, so No. 29's defense is more likely to be used. come out.

Kobe went to force Leonard to enter the interior, and did not give him the possibility of shooting from the outside. Leonard really gave up the shot quickly, and he passed the basketball in his hand to the interior again.And this place is very strange.Because there was no Spurs player in the place where Leonard passed the ball.This... Could it be a pass error?
Mike D'Antoni watched Yixi off the court, but within a second, Duncan of the Spurs moved. Of course, Tang Qian would not let him succeed after seeing it. With the agility and mobility of the striker level, he quickly Just kept up with Duncan, making it impossible for Duncan to catch up with the passing position of the ball in the first place.

good!Won!This ball is hot without the ball moving in the way very well and in time!
Mike D'Antoni thought in his heart.

Yes, Tang Qian's defense is no problem, but the Spurs' ball did not end like this. In fact, Duncan's problem was considered by Popovich at all.So the following scene appeared, Tang Qian suddenly stopped, and he let Duncan leave his hindrance at a critical second.what happened?It was a Spurs player from the outside who cut into the inside at high speed, and then blocked Tang Qian's follow-up and obstruction.

This person is No. 9 of the Spurs, Tony Parker.

Although Tony Parker was only 188 cm and weighed only about 185 pounds, such a sudden block caught Tang Qian by surprise, and he was blocked for a second.And this second is enough for Duncan to move to the other end of the paint and get the ball.

The Spurs commentator also became nervous, and he began to say loudly and even slightly panting: "Passed to Tim, the ball Tony entered the inside line in time, he helped Tim resolve the problem, Tim took the inside line on the left When the ball arrives, this is an opportunity for a temporary unguarded shot!!! If the shot is thrown into the Spurs, the score will be equalized, and the two sides will enter overtime to fight again!"

After hearing this commentary, Tang Qian became a little anxious, and he forced Parker away from the inside.However, the playoffs were still a critical moment in the Western Conference Finals. The referees adjusted the penalty scale tacitly, and no one had the intention of blowing the whistle.

"Hot! Guard him! Don't let him make this ball!!!" Kobe looked back from the outside and shouted loudly, because now time is running out, as long as he guards, the Lakers will win .

Duncan was expressionless, and you couldn't tell if he was in a hurry. He just followed the steps and pushed out his right arm at his own pace.If Tang Qian can't block the ball, with the Spurs' No. 21 inside basic skills, the probability of scoring is at least as high as 8%.So Tang Qian couldn't care less, kicked his feet on the ground quickly, stood up from the ground, and then his whole body was like a helicopter rising out of thin air, heading towards the sky to kill.

Although this ball Tang Qian also took off quickly and hastily, but the height is enough, even if it can't be covered, it can cover the sky and block out the sun, giving Tim Duncan a great sight interference and rhythm interference in this shot.

Just when the Lakers were satisfied with Tang Qian's personal defense this time, the biggest change occurred.

I saw that No. 21 actually grabbed the basketball back and didn't throw it? ? ?
Tang Qian, who was already in the air, was stunned by this scene. He looked down in disbelief, only to find that Duncan was holding the orange basketball tightly with his right hand, and did not make a move.

Is this... a one-handed shot and a fake move? ? ?
In fact, this ball is used more by outside players, such as the great Michael Jordan, who used his big hands to often play this kind of one-handed passing and shooting feints.I didn't expect Tim Duncan tonight also...

Duncan's face still didn't fluctuate. He didn't even turn his head, and threw the basketball to the rear. At this time, there were only 1.7 seconds left before the end of the game.

After Kobe reacted, he sprinted frantically towards the bottom line, but at this moment, he was stopped by the cover set up by the Spurs.I could only watch as Danny Green of the Spurs took a three-pointer from the bottom corner. The basketball crossed the sky with a high arc, and then... swipe~, with incomparable precision, and fell into the Lakers' net bag .

At the same time, there is also game time at the end.

drop~~~
The red light comes on and the game is over.

PS: Don’t worry about being unreasonable, it’s the same as Kobe’s injury last time, Xiao Zi has already thought about it, everyone just needs to keep reading~ hehehe~~~
