Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 319 Riding the Savior Alone

Like the countless three-point tactics before, the players of the Nuggets are still standing at the free throw line, running out one by one, there are players who feint, there are players who see the opportunity to shoot, and there are players who are designated by the tactics , As for who it is, it needs to be judged by the players on the Spurs field.

The first one to run out was Ariza. From the point of view of tactical deployment, he was obviously feinting, and judging from the fact that he stretched out his hand and ran away after running out, the tactical deployment was indeed like this.

Followed by Korver, the most accurate three-point shooter of the Nuggets, immediately attracted the greatest defensive pressure from the Spurs. Ginobili and Barry both jumped at almost the same time. Going out, it seems that the focus of the Spurs' defense is the Nuggets' most accurate three-point shooter in front of them.

And almost at the same time, the two remaining Nuggets on the field, Dior and Anthony, started running towards the corners on both sides.

Judging from the running positions of the players on the court, Korver is the player who takes the shot when he has a chance on the court. The ones who are really going to make the final attack are Diao and Anthony who are running towards the two bottom corners.

At this moment, Nash, who had been holding the ball on the outside, flicked the ball directly to Anthony, who was running to his side.

Although there were some twists and turns, the last attack of the Nuggets was handed over to the core of the team. Anthony, who has scored 32 points in this game.

Carl dared to use Korver as a feint, which can be said to be very courageous, and the arrangement of this tactic is not unreasonable, but when the two players moved, the remaining two defenders of the Spurs also He followed up immediately, and the result was that although Anthony successfully received the ball, Duncan jumped in front of him almost immediately. Although the position was different, Duncan's defensive pressure came up, and Anthony If you want to hit this shot, the difficulty will definitely not be small.

At least at the very least, he must work hard to create enough shooting space for himself.

And this process will obviously consume a lot of time. As a result, even if Anthony hits this three-pointer, there will definitely not be much time left. At that time, for the Nuggets who have no timeout, it is absolutely is fatal.

"The Nuggets are in trouble, and Melo is in trouble..." Barkley, who was sitting in the commentary, said with a rare seriousness.

Although the fans at the scene kept shouting, from the gradually weakening volume, they could still feel that they had no idea in their hearts, but even so, their eyes were still staring at Anthony. They believed in their hero, Will give them hope in the face of despair.

In the midst of all the expectations, what Anthony did was completely out of their expectations. He actually chose to pass the ball!
And it was passed to Ariza!
Although because of the transfer of the Spurs' defensive focus, Ariza is now in an unguarded state, but just before this ball, Ariza had already missed a ball. At the moment, what is Ariza's mentality like? Superstars are the ones who are not soft at critical moments. How can Ariza, a rookie, throw the ball calmly?

When Anthony passed the ball, the fans on the scene were in an uproar. Most people were not happy that the ball was passed to the open player. On the contrary, their hearts were completely filled with unexplainable doubts at this moment: Why is Anthony passing the ball?How can Anthony pass the ball?!

In this great atmosphere, Ariza caught Anthony's pass, and basically did not stop, as if he had rehearsed beforehand, took a deep breath, and then aimed at the basket and shot.

With this shot, even Popovich on the sidelines was stunned.

But after Ariza made the shot, everyone put aside all their doubts and puzzles for the time being, and focused their attention on the straight ball with almost no curvature.

"boom!"

After a short flight, the ball hit the backboard hard, and then a bounce that wasn't perfect, but enough, the ball fell into the net bag impartially under the action of gravity and rebound!
Ariza's three-pointer, hit!
There was an inexplicable silence at the scene. Perhaps no one thought that Ariza could hit this three-pointer.

But in the next second, I don't know who started it first. After a loud cheer, the entire arena suddenly boiled.

"Fuck, Trevor!" Buckley couldn't help but swear.

Ariza hit a three-pointer, and it only took about 3 seconds on paper. Putting aside the time for Anthony to pass the ball, there were still about 5 seconds left in the game.

The Spurs no longer had a timeout, they sent the ball quickly, and the Nuggets fouled immediately. It was Ginobili who received the ball, and he was naturally the one who made the free throw.

At this time, with Ariza's three-pointer, the Nuggets have at least the possibility of not losing. If Ginobili makes two free throws, they at least have a chance to tie the score, and if Ginobili makes two free throws If only one score is scored, the Nuggets also have a chance to equalize or even win. For them who were in a desperate situation just before, with almost no chance of winning, this is already a good situation.

The DJ at the scene was obviously already in high spirits. He kept encouraging the fans at the scene, and the atmosphere of the scene seemed to be boiling. The players on the field could no longer hear any sound.

This kind of home court momentum is not only shocking, but also a little scary.

Ariza turned his head to look at Anthony at this time. After Anthony noticed his gaze, he smiled at him. Carl's tactical deployment just now was Anthony as the first choice, and Korver was the second choice. After the arrangement, he had already guessed what the Spurs might do, so he made a bold attempt, because he had greeted Ariza in advance, which made him mentally prepared, and Ariza also worked hard, so At the end of the shot, at least Ariza's mentality was very stable, and with some luck, he lived up to Anthony's trust.

At this time, Ginobili had already reached the free throw line, and the boos of the fans on the scene were overwhelming. Rao had already experienced the baptism of the finals. He performed well this season, and now he felt as if there was something in his heart. A mountain fell down.

Ginobili took a deep breath, glanced at the basket, paused for a while to calm his mind, and then shot.

Manu Ginobili has made 78% of his free throws so far in his career. He is very sure of free throws, and he is the kind of player who is more stable in key events, so Popovich handed him the ball. A kind of trust is naturally a wise choice.

But I don't know if it was because he was too nervous. The moment Ginobili made the shot, he seemed a little lacking in strength. As a result, the ball hit the front of the basket with a "bang" sound, and finally brushed out of the frame!

Ginobili's first free throw, missed!

The fans at the scene were immediately excited. This missed free throw represented a lot. Hope, in an instant, seemed to descend on the Nuggets again.

Ginobili's expression was uncontrollable and a little frustrated, but he took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and then aimed at the basket.

Because there are more than 5 seconds left in the game, if Ginobili misses a free throw intentionally, the Nuggets grab a rebound. As long as he advances quickly, a 2-pointer can kill the Spurs, so Ginobili At this time, making a free throw is safer than missing a free throw, and he also understands this, so after calming down, his free throws this time are much more stable than before.

The result was also as expected, Ginobili's second free throw hit steadily.

The Nuggets had no short timeouts at this time. The second after Ginobili made a free throw, Nash got the ball under the basket and was about to pass the ball out. The Spurs obviously knew this, and they rushed wildly. to their defenders.

But at this time, Nash was very smart. On the one hand, he quickly picked up the ball. On the other hand, he first made a fake pass and then slammed the ball forward.

At this time, Anthony had already rushed forward. At the position of the three-point line, he jumped up to receive the ball, and then quickly broke forward with the ball.

The Spurs' press didn't work, but they didn't give up, but quickly checked back. Although Anthony received the ball, it took time for him to jump up, so when he took the ball and pushed forward, the Spurs' defense was exhausted. up.

Anthony saw Barry in front of him and Ginobili who was about to double-team behind him. He knew that he couldn't stop for a moment. ball.

Anthony's dribble was very sudden, and Barry didn't seem to expect it all at once. When he reacted, Anthony had already passed the ball and ran past him.

At this time, there were only 3 seconds left before the end of the game, and Anthony had just passed halftime.

Ginobili's supplementary defense rushed up immediately.

At this time, Anthony mustered all his strength, took a breath, took the ball, and stepped on three steps directly one step past the center line.

Ginobili wanted to step up to defend, but Anthony had already taken three steps, he didn't dare to make a move, and the attack was likely to be a foul.

Anthony jumped over from Ginobili's side and stepped on the third step one meter from the Spurs' three-point line.

With only the last 2 seconds left before the end of the game, Anthony did not reach the three-point line, but he had no other choice.

He jumped straight up, aimed at the basket, and slammed the ball before the final buzzer sounded.
