Chapter 463 Unpredictable
Ginobili is a player who cannot predict his next move, but he can often play at critical moments, whether it is good or bad, in short, he has a strong sense of presence.He appeared on the path of the basketball at the right time, easily blocked it, and got a defensive rebound.
George wanted to make up for his mistakes, and he was too hard when he counter-robbed, grabbed Ginobili by the shoulders, and brought him to the floor.
The referee blew his whistle and rushed into the field, fearing that there would be a conflict.
The Spurs players are basically players who are so calm that they don't even get excited. They quietly pull Ginobili up so that he can execute free throws.
Xu Tian checked the time and score, stood at the top of the backcourt, and watched Ginobili make free throws.
George blamed himself for his impulsive counterattack just now, but it had already happened, and he couldn't think about it too much. He stood quietly on the right side of the free throw line, ready to fight for the defensive rebound.
The fans at Staples Center didn't show their frustration, and booed Manu Ginobili at the free throw line in a neat and loud boo.
Ginobili has not been in the league for as long as Duncan, but his mentality at critical moments is not too much. He kept his breathing rhythm and executed two free throws steadily.
All hits!
82-94, 1 minutes and 59 seconds!
The Lakers had no timeouts and could only serve from the backcourt. In order to save attack time, Xu Tian let the ball roll on the floor to stop the timer.
Kawhi Leonard was originally one of the core of the Spurs' offense, but in order to defend Xu Tian with all his strength, he sacrificed the offensive part.Even so, a lot of physical strength was consumed, and there was no way to force Xu Tian to pick up the ball in advance, so he had to stand near the center line and wait for Xu Tian's impact.
Ginobili has given up defending Nick Young, standing in a position where it is easy to help defend and double-team, just waiting for Xu Tian to dribble to the frontcourt.
The Spurs' double-teaming was like an impenetrable wall, making Xu Tian feel like he was trapped in the siege.Compared with physical fatigue, this feeling is more uncomfortable.
George received the pass again, did not break through forcibly, and switched to a post-up mode, single-playing Tony Parker who was behind the top defense.He has an advantage in height and weight, and can easily find the attacking space, but this kind of attacking method does not have a very good effect on chasing points.
Xu Tian couldn't get rid of Kawhi Leonard with his regular running position, so he decided to take a risk. He pulled him behind with both hands, and used the movement on the edge of the foul to find the running space.This is a challenge to the referee's scale. Once the referee blows the whistle, Kawhi Leonard will be given two free throws for no reason.
The referee saw Xu Tian's move to grab the position. Since this is the Lakers' home court and the game has entered the last 2 minutes, they continued to let the game go on without any calls.
Among the defensive champions, Kawhi Leonard's movements are relatively clean, and there are no redundant small movements. This is a big difference between him and other defenders.When encountering Xu Tian's position grabbing, he didn't react too much, but just habitually caught up and continued to defend.
George wanted to pass the ball through the crowd, but Ginobili saw it through and made a mistake.
Ginobili was a little too eager to counterattack quickly, and directly passed a long pass to Tony Parker, who was going down the court quickly. The result was a bit too strong, and the pass was directly out of bounds.When such a situation happened to ordinary players, Popovich would definitely yell at him, but it was Ginobili who made the mistake, which caused him to say nothing.
Xu Tian looked at the time, and there was 1 minute and 41 seconds left, and it was quite difficult to turn the tables.
The Lakers sent the backcourt sideline ball to Xu Tian again.
Xu Tian didn't give the Spurs time to react, and quickly charged in Ginobili's direction, like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the Spurs' unformed double-team defense.
Nick Young stood in the left corner, with his hands slightly forward, looking eagerly at Xu Tian who was breaking through the dribble.
Xu Tian attracted the defensive attention of the five Spurs players, hit the ground with his left hand, and passed the ball to Nick Young.
Nick Young has been waiting for a long time, the catch is not adjusted at all, and the open three-pointer is shot.
In Popovich's defensive tactics, the defensive intensity against the rest of the Lakers is very low. If they are shot, they can accept it.
The basketball draws a rainbow arc and enters the net hollow!
85-94, 1 minutes and 29 seconds!
Once upon a time, a point difference of about ten points was difficult to smooth out, but since the beginning of the small ball era, a point difference of twenty points is not enough to make a conclusion.Such a general environment makes the fans not very concerned about the nine-point difference. They always think that there is hope for a comeback.
Tony Parker received the serve, faced Xu Tian's tight man-to-man defense, and decisively passed the ball to Ginobili on the right.
George was responsible for man-marking Ginobili, suddenly increased his defensive intensity, used his body to fight against his route, and completed a key steal.
Ginobili was also a little unsteady. He wanted to counter-rob, but he failed to control his body movements and lost a defensive foul.
Seeing the penalty made by the referee, Xu Tian clenched his fist with his right hand and looked at the time on the scoreboard with a calm expression.This is what they need to pay attention to the most.
Popovich was not satisfied with Ginobili's performance during this period and replaced him with Patty Mills in an attempt to increase the stability of the court.
Ginobili took the towel from the caddy, and when he sat back on the bench, he was still a little aggrieved by the penalty, and kept communicating with Matt Bonner.
George stood at the free throw line, withstood tremendous psychological pressure, and made two free throws!
87-94, 1 minutes and 13 seconds!
Duncan silently stepped out of the baseline and sent the ball to Tony Parker, letting him drive the ball upfield.
Xu Tian then resorted to a full-court tight man-to-man defense, not giving Tony Parker a chance to advance easily.
Duncan saw through the Lakers' defense, stood near the center line, responded to a pass from Tony Parker, and drove the ball upfield.This is the easiest way to break the full-court pressure man-to-man defense, after all, no one wants to stick to the inside player.
Kawhi Leonard received the ball from Duncan, faced George's defense, turned around and played with the ball behind him.
Aldridge and Tyson Chandler are stuck in the paint trying to get a good rebounding position.
George put on the best attitude and went all out to defend Kawhi Leonard.
Kawhi Leonard dribbled the ball with his right hand, felt the change of George's center of gravity on his back, and when the time was right, he turned around and used his footsteps to open his body, and made a jumper shot!
George tried his best to take off, but still couldn't touch the basketball!
Key goal!
87-96, 1 minutes!
Duncan couldn't stop his excitement when he saw the goal. He walked over and stroked Kawhi Leonard's hair with his big hand.Fortunately, he has a furrow hairstyle, which can slightly prevent Duncan's hands from touching the scalp.
The Lakers don't have a timeout available, so they can only serve from the baseline in the backcourt and quickly give it to Xu Tian.
