NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

The rest of the Grizzlies clenched their fists, and it was clear that Rose's shot gave them a lot of confidence that their team could win the game.

Rose's expression didn't change much after hitting this mid-range shot, but he silently retreated to his own half, like an assassin who had successfully retired.

Chang Tiancheng continued to kill time with the ball, while Smart repeated his old tricks and continued to use his body to cling to Chang Tiancheng and not give him space to dribble.

Chang Tiancheng learned the lesson just now this time, and did not choose to pass the ball out, but directly called Drummond to block it for himself. At the same time, he also switched to his back to control the ball, and used his butt to push Smart some distance away to prevent himself from being directly broken by Smart when he found an opportunity.

After Drummond's cover was in place, Chang Tiancheng immediately used a one-and-a-half turn to bypass Drummond's block and kill the Grizzlies' interior line.

And Adams, who changed his defense, couldn't keep up with Chang Tiancheng's speed at all, and was instantly left behind by Chang Tiancheng.

Jaren Jackson Jr., who was standing on the other side of the inside line, knew that at such a critical moment, even if he let Wembanyama behind him empty, he would never give Chang Tiancheng such an easy chance to score.

So, Jaren Jackson Jr. decisively pounced on Chang Tiancheng, and at the same time was ready for Chang Tiancheng to pass the ball to Wembanyama.

Adams saw that Jaren Jackson Jr. took the initiative to defend Chang Tiancheng, so he turned his head and came to Wembanyama's side, sealing Chang Tiancheng's breakthrough route.

After Chang Tiancheng came to the basket, his shooting route had been blocked by Jaren Jackson Jr., and the route passed to Wembanyama was blocked by Adams, and he was about to make a mistake.

At this moment, Chang Tiancheng suddenly used a behind-the-back pass and passed the ball back to Drummond behind him.

Standing in front of Drummond at this time to defend him was Smart.

Faced with a huge height difference, Drummond almost didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, directly dribbled vigorously, used his shoulder to push Smart out of the way, and then shot a small hook shot near the free throw line.

The basketball rolls around the hoop and eventually slips into the hoop.

The Spurs stretched the margin to five points again.

The Grizzlies never expected that at the last critical moment, Chang Tiancheng did not choose to shoot himself, nor even chose to pass the ball to Wembanyama, but let Drummond, who had not made much of a shot in the whole game, play this key ball.

With time running out, Rose quickly dribbled to the front court and shot a three-pointer from just outside the three-point line.

As we all know, even though this season is the highest three-point shooting percentage for Rose, shooting is still not his forte, let alone this kind of long-range three-pointer.

That's already the range of Curry or Lillard

! But Rose proved at this point why I'm the real superstar of this team

! This shot ended up smashing on the rebound and bounced into the basket, and instantly recovered three points for the Grizzlies!

The difference between the two teams was only two points, and the game was still more than 30 seconds away.

The Grizzlies didn't choose to foul, they wanted the Spurs to play this last offense.

And he has to defend this offense as much as possible, and then use the last few seconds to complete the spurs.

But if you want to limit the Spurs' offense, it can be said that it is even more difficult at this time.

Chang Tiancheng took the ball to the front court, and this time Smart didn't follow as closely as he just did, but put some distance a little and let Chang Tiancheng shoot.

After all, Smart also began to be afraid of Chang Tiancheng's option to break through the basket directly and then pass the ball to his teammates.

He would rather have one-on-one with Chang Tiancheng like he is now.

After Chang Tiancheng did a few crotch dribbles, he originally planned to attack directly with the ball, but suddenly found that Wembanyama on the inside had already circled a position with the help of Drummond's blocking at this time, so he decisively passed the ball over.

Wembanyama received the ball and threw a shot from the ground running, which was his sweet spot, having previously shot 67 percent from the field in this area.

But this time the god of fate was not on his side, and the basketball jumped out of the frame.

Jaren Jackson Jr. jumped to his feet and grabbed the defensive rebound, and at the same time, the Grizzlies immediately called a timeout.

With less than twenty seconds left before the end of the game, the Spurs held a two-point lead at this time, and it was naturally impossible to use the tactic of taking the initiative to foul the opponent to the free throw line.

As a result, Popovich didn't set up too much, but just told the players to defend well.

After a timeout, the Grizzlies sent the ball to Adams on the sideline, which ended up being passed to Rose.

At this time, Rose had already scored two key shots in a row, and the Spurs sent Keldon, who was better defensive, to defend him.

After all, Rose may have played Chang Tiancheng at this time, and the Spurs are also worried that Rose will face Chang Tiancheng's defense and make another three-point kill.

But after Rose found out that it was Keldon who was defending him, he did not do anything else, but continued to choose to go heads-up with the ball.

After a series of dribbling moves, Rose finally seized an opportunity and sprinted straight inside for the Spurs.

Coming to the restricted area, Rose directly closed the ball and jumped with both feet, apparently trying to complete a pull-up layup.

Originally, this action could only score two points for the Grizzlies, but in overtime, the Spurs' starters had a certain physical advantage because they played less time.

Therefore, it is not an unacceptable situation for the Spurs to go to overtime even if the game goes to overtime.

can be the defensive core of the Spurs team, but Wembanyama at this time didn't know what to think, and the gods wanted to block Rose's layup directly, and finally slapped Rose on the arm unexpectedly.

However, Rose did not suffer from the beating by Wembanyama, and still sent the ball into the basket with a lever.

The referee's whistle blew, 2+1, the goal was valid, and Rose had to add a penalty.

This time suddenly stomped Popovich on the sidelines angrily.

With Rose's serve firmly on the ground, the Grizzlies had a one-point lead with four seconds left in the game.

The Spurs served the sideline, and it was Sochan who finally found Chang Tiancheng on the serve.

At this time, Wembanyama wanted to complete the redemption, and kept opening his hand outside the three-point line, jumping and signaling Chang Tiancheng to pass the ball over.
