Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After this timeout, both sides began to change into the rotation lineup.

What makes the home fans feel depressed is that the Spurs' bench lineup is almost like a magic soldier today. Before, with the bench lineup, Qin Hao, Xiaoka, Lu Wei, Speights, Mozkov played inextricably and inextricably.

At this time, the 76ers are playing Butler with the bench, but they can only play equally well with the other side, and can't take advantage of it.

Whenever the 76ers score a goal here, the opponent can always return.

Until the end of the third quarter, the 76ers failed to overtake the score and were still behind by 2 points, making the players feel very depressed, and they didn't understand how this happened.

"It's okay. The opponent played really well." Qin Hao clapped his hands and greeted his teammates. "The fourth quarter is the key. Play well and win the game."

"Um."

"Yes, the fourth quarter is the key."

Everyone said one after another, but their hearts were all solemn.

If they can't take the lead in the first three quarters and gain an advantage, they will be under a lot of pressure in the last quarter, and they may be deadlocked to the last few minutes, or even the last minute, and the variables will be huge.

at the same time.

From the coach to the players, the Spurs are not in a relaxed mood.

Although they are still ahead, the 2 points difference is nothing at all, after all, there is a whole quarter left in the game.

For the 76ers, the inability to resolve the battle in three quarters means that there will be a lot of variables. Conversely, the same is true for the Spurs. The three quarters cannot open up the points difference and fail to accumulate enough advantages. Then the result will change in the fourth quarter. It's hard to predict.

Soon, the fourth quarter began.

The two sides returned to the court. The 76ers had a small card on the side. Let the small card play with Lu Wei, Speights, Mozkov, and Iverson.

Seeing Iverson on the court, the home fans were all excited, and the voice of "AI" resounded throughout the arena.

In the previous three quarters, each time the 76ers' bench lineup could only tie the opponent, and sometimes even fell into a disadvantage.

So at this moment, coach Luke boldly replaced Iverson, hoping that Iverson will use his experience to let the bench perform as it should.

When I arrived on the court, Iverson was a pick-and-roll breakthrough, but instead of shooting by himself, he divided the ball, shouted at his teammates, directed them to move, and passed the ball.

Huh!

This opportunity was good, Speights made a jumper.

"Good job, that's it." Iverson yelled at Speights, high-fiving him.

In the next few rounds, Iverson gave full play to the role of Big Brother, constantly commanding his teammates, mobilizing the players' initiative, and making them play better as much as possible.

"Mozkov, go low, go low."

"Xiaoka, go to the bottom corner and wait there... just cast it, don't hesitate, this is the point where you should shoot..."

I could only hear Iverson's constant shouts. Under his leadership, the 76ers substitution lineup changed its previous situation, played extremely well and gained the upper hand.

This can be regarded as a surprise.

In fact, entering the finals stage, Iverson's playing time has been further compressed, averaging only a few minutes per game.

This is also helpless. After entering the finals, the confrontation intensity has further increased, and the 76ers are not easy to play in every game. With Iverson’s current physical condition, it is difficult to adapt to this intensity of the game. Therefore, it is more of a spiritual leader.

Just now coach Luke put Iverson on the court, which was also a bit risky.

Fortunately, the result turned out to be good, but it also made Coach Luke's heart relieved. At this moment, they have overtaken the score, from 2 points behind to 2 points ahead.

"beep......"

When four minutes passed in the fourth quarter, Popovich called a timeout and started to change with a stern face.

He was not satisfied with the team's performance in these four minutes. He even let Iverson, a veteran who has reached the end of his career, led a group of young people to gain the upper hand, not only catching up with the score, but also overtaking the score. It shouldn't be.

"There are 8 minutes left, which is also the last eight minutes." Old Popovich was also unable to maintain his composure at the moment, his tone trembling, "We have to play these eight minutes, and we have to take out 120%. Because we can’t lose, and we can’t afford to lose.”

"Yeah." Everyone nodded their heads in awe.

Later, Popovich spread out the tactical board and made another arrangement.

The 76ers are here.

Coach Luke also replaced and replaced the main players.

Iverson was also replaced. With a smile on his face, he patted the arms of Qin Hao and Butler, and said, "I will leave it to you next."

Iverson actually didn't score many points in the past few minutes. He only scored one goal and scored two points, but he played a big role.

When the opponent called for a timeout, the moment he came off the court, he suddenly felt like he was drained of all his strength. In just a few minutes, it seemed that all his strength had been used up.

At this moment Iverson knew that it was time for him to say goodbye to this stage.

He also understands that there is only so much he can do. Fortunately, in such a crucial game, he can still play and make a difference. However, the next step is to rely on young people, because their fuel tanks are already empty.

"Um."

"Don't worry, we won't let you down."

Qin Hao nodded together and stepped onto the court.

......

The suspension is over.

In the auditorium, the fans all stood up and there were still 8 minutes left, but at this time the atmosphere on the court had become extremely heavy, as if the air was about to freeze.

Everyone knows that this is the last eight minutes, and whether this series will come to an end or will be dragged into a tie-break, just look at the last eight minutes.

"attack!"

The Spurs offense.

Parker pushed the ball to the frontcourt, still a positional battle, passing the ball continuously, using tactical cooperation, using the tacit understanding between the players to tear the 76ers' defense, and then looking for opportunities to shoot.

boom!

The Spurs failed to score this time.

The 76ers counterattacked, Qin Hao came to the frontcourt to break through, encountered the opponent's besieged, scored the ball outside, passed to Butler, Butler shot a three-pointer, but also failed to score...

I don't know if it is because the atmosphere is too depressing at this time, the players are under too much pressure, or because the defense of both sides is too fierce.

For a time, both sides were hitting the iron again and again.

It lasted for more than two minutes before Qin Hao broke through and made a strong hit, causing Duncan to foul, and walked to the free throw line to make two free throws, breaking the scoring shortage on the court.

After this ball, the 76ers' offense has improved, and the Spurs' scoring drought has also come to an end, but the game has only more than five minutes left. And as the time of the game is getting less and less, the game is getting more and more tragic, and it is really desperate.

PS: I wish you all a happy National Day, and wish the motherland prosperous and strong!
