Chapter 464
Xu Tian didn't care about his physical strength anymore, he dribbled the ball with all his strength and accelerated, taking advantage of the short gap before the Spurs' defense was in place, and directly attacked.
Both Kawhi Leonard and Patty Mills were a little caught off guard, and there were defensive loopholes in the rush, which gave Xu Tian a certain amount of room to shoot.
Xu Tian jumped sideways to further widen the distance from the defender, ignoring all factors, and forced a three-pointer directly.Top pitcher with a big heart!
BANG!
90-96, 53 seconds!
Xu Tian completed an offensive round in just 7 seconds.
For the sake of safety, Popovich did not hesitate to pause and adjusted his offensive and defensive tactics again.
Kobe stood on the sidelines, more nervous than he was playing on the court. During the timeout, he hardly spoke, just quietly listening to Scott's tactical arrangements, while looking forward to the next game.
Scott said: "There are still 53 seconds left in the game. We have no timeout. If we want to win, we can only watch your impromptu performance. I may not be able to help you more, so I have to give you the autonomy , How to attack, how to attack."
Popovich also has a short timeout in his hands, and arranges defensive tactics as detailed as possible, allowing the players to increase the defensive pressure on the three-pointer.And again, don't give Xu Tian any room to make a move, not at all.
The Spurs players have high tactical understanding and execution ability, and quickly understood what Popovich meant, and returned to the court to continue the game.They chose to serve from the backcourt in order to waste more time.
Now that the Spurs are in the lead, the less time they have, the better they are, so it is necessary to spend offensive time.
Xu Tian rushed over, put on a physical confrontation, and tried to complete the steal from Tony Parker, but this failed, and the latter passed the ball to Kawhi Leonard.
Kawhi Leonard has a pair of big hands, can control the ball better than ordinary players, and can't easily make mistakes.Facing George's defense, he tried with his left foot.
Time is passing by every minute and every second!
Xu Tian rushed over quickly and formed a double-team attack with George, double-teaming Kawhi Leonard who was defending the ball.
Kawhi Leonard reacted quickly enough and passed the ball to Duncan in the penalty area before Xu Tian made a steal.
Duncan turned around and made a fake shot, picked up Josh Smith who was in charge of defense, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and hit a layup with a time lag!
hit!
90-98, 36 seconds!
The Lakers gave Xu Tian a quick serve!
The Spurs' defense was immediately in place, flanking him in the frontcourt to prevent him from getting up to speed.
Seeing George in the frontcourt, Xu Tian shoved away Kawhi Leonard who was about to steal with his right hand, flicked the ball with his left hand, and made a long pass directly.Such a pass would probably be a mistake on an ordinary player, but for Xu Tian, it was as easy as pie.
George received the long pass comfortably, without adjusting the left side, and directly made a three-pointer!
The basketball spins and hits the net with precision!
Nearly all the Staples Center fans were on their feet, cheering for George and celebrating the goal that kept the game alive.
Xu Tian didn't celebrate, and changed into a defensive posture in an instant, defending the Spurs players from the frontcourt.
Tony Parker wanted to pass the ball to Duncan again, but unfortunately his pass was not high enough, Xu Tian took off with all his strength to intercept it, and abruptly completed a steal.
Adam Silver was quite surprised to see Xu Tian's steal this time, and his big eyes, which were originally as abrupt as glass balls, widened a little bit.He didn't expect Xu Tian to have such abilities.
The Spurs made a mistake in the backcourt this time, which caused the Lakers to save time to advance. In addition, the defense was not in place, which gave Xu Tian a chance to show himself.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball and turned around to pass Tony Parker, who wanted to foul, ran diagonally to the left three-point line, and directly made a three-pointer!
Hollow, thread a needle!
96-98, 21.2 seconds!
The sound waves from the Staples Center can almost topple the roof of the venue!
Xu Tian waved his arms and roared to the sky, releasing the suppressed emotions in his heart.He was distracted by the Spurs' double-team defense, and it wouldn't do him any good not to let that emotion out.
Popovich thought about it for a long time, but did not call the last short timeout.This is a very risky move. As for whether it is infamy or praise in the end, he can only leave it to the players.
Kawhi Leonard took the initiative to come to the backcourt, took the serve from Duncan, and forced George to defend him closely.He then passed the ball to Patty Mills, who was defended by Nick Young.
Nick Young's defensive skills and body control ability are not as good as Xu Tian and George's. He didn't pay attention to his movements during the defense process, and lost a thug foul!
96-98, 11 seconds, Patty Mills stood on the free throw line.
Both the Spurs and the Lakers stood up from the bench, watching Patty Mills nervously, but in completely different moods.
Patty Mills failed to resist the boos and missed the first free throw.
Popovich always felt a little unsafe, and his heart was as uneasy as beating a drum, but his expression was calm and he didn't show it at all.
Patty Mills adjusted for a long time before the second free throw, trying to block the interference as much as possible, and made free throws steadily.
hit!
96-99, 11 seconds!
The Spurs used full-court tight man-to-man defense, and the two defended against Xu Tian to prevent him from receiving the serve.
Xu Tian didn't care too much at this time, he pushed Patty Mills away with a subtle trick, found a small space, and took the serve from Josh Smith.
Kawaii Leonard realized that something was wrong, so he rushed to the backcourt and stayed by Xu Tian's side.
Xu Tian dribbled desperately, rushed to the frontcourt in a race against time, ignored the Spurs' three-man defense, directly pulled up, and shot a long-range three-pointer.
The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air!
From everyone's point of view, the ball will be scored, even Xu Tian, who made the shot, is no exception.But fate made a joke.
The basketball bounced on the rim for three full seconds before bouncing out again after the final lights came on.
The original enthusiastic cheers at the Staples Center disappeared instantly, and suddenly became very quiet, which made people feel a little abrupt.
Xu Tian looked at the final score, didn't say anything more, walked directly through the player tunnel, and walked back to the locker room in frustration.
The Spurs players were not excited. They were almost dragged into overtime by the Lakers when they trailed by more than ten points.Although they won by a narrow margin, this situation is what they are worried about.
The series was still long, and neither the head coaches nor the players greeted each other. Only Tony Parker was left to be interviewed, and the rest of the players went through the player tunnel and returned to the locker room.
Xu Tian didn't talk to anyone, and went directly into the bathroom, feeling the hot water from the shower head, and kept replaying the last attack of the game in his mind.He had to do one more jump at that time, would he be more confident in the shot?
There was no one in the bathroom, the locker room was silent, no one could give him an answer.
