Chapter 211 Tie-break (V)
one cent!
Stoudemire panted heavily and watched the score of 86:87 on the big screen. He felt that he had reached the limit of his physical strength. What he had fought so far was purely willpower, and he had nothing else to show for it. up.
Although they worked very hard, the gap in overall strength could not be filled simply by hard work. The original nearly [-] point difference was caught up to only one point. Although they all had shame on their faces, D'Antoni did nothing wrong. Where they were happy, they praised the results of their efforts, which made them even more embarrassed.
After all, the Suns were still in the lead at first, but now they lost almost all of their lead in just half a quarter of the game. Now the Spurs and the Suns are back on the same starting line, and the morale of the Spurs is getting stronger and stronger. The confidence of the Suns players gradually declined, and they finally failed everyone's trust.
D'Antoni has been encouraging them with a smile, telling them not to lose heart, and no one will blame them. After all, there is a gap in strength, and it has reached D'Antoni's expectations to be able to achieve this level.
The rest is up to him.
All eyes are on Gao Tian, who has been indifferent all the time. The other main players of the Suns have to rest for 3 minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter. It was handed over to Gao Tian, and Gao Tian was the only one who took the substitute to fight the Spurs at such a critical time.
The Sun's tactic is very simple, that is, to give Gao Tian a single game. If someone would say that such a person playing a game that everyone watches is extremely ugly, it is not a real basketball game at all. Basketball is a team sport, but now No one would say such a thing, because only in this way can the success rate of the sun be the highest and the most reassuring.
Now defending Gao Tian is the Spurs' nominal small forward Fabrizio Oberto, who looks like a supercharged player in the Spurs' lineup and used as an arrow to defend Gao Tian. Isn't this equivalent to giving Gao Tian points?
But the Spurs are also very helpless. What can they do? Those who can defend from the outside are already in deep foul crisis. In order to interrupt Gao Tian's offensive rhythm, the Spurs have no choice but to use the enhanced version of "Jordan's Law". It is said that it will cause huge pressure on offensive players, but the threat of Gao Tian's three-point shooting is much better than that of Jordan and most players in the league. Their defensive formations often have problems because of this. "Jordan's Law" is true. It worked, but it fell far short of what they wanted.
"Facing Oberto's defense, Gao Tian is obviously very relaxed. Holding the ball in the right corner, he signaled to open up space. He is going to eat this poor guy alone again."
"Ginobili rushed over from the top of the arc to double-team Gao Tian. Gao Tian pretended to pass the ball to Barbosa at the top of the arc, defrauding Oberto and Ginobili's attention, and made a breakthrough!"
In an instant, Oberto lost Gao Tian's figure in front of his eyes. He waved his hand to catch Gao Tian, but in the end he only caught an afterimage, not even the corner of Gao Tian's clothes. The horrified Oberto looked back at Gao Tian His throat moved uncontrollably when he faced the Spurs center with a brutal dunk. It was the first time he was so afraid of a player. Is this really a player they can guard against?
No matter how fierce Gao Tian is, the Spurs are not vegetarians. Although under Gao Tian's indiscriminate bombardment, the Suns made the Spurs helpless on the offensive end, but the Spurs also beat the Suns very embarrassingly on the offensive end. The Spurs' offense was very smooth under the go-between. In addition, the Spurs' demon sword finally showed its edge at the most critical moment. Within 1 minute, it used a three-pointer and an invincible snake-shaped breakthrough to score eight points in a row. D'Antoni's heart stopped beating.
However, Gao Tian didn't care at all. At this time, he could feel his whole body was on fire, his blood was boiling in his veins, and he was so hot that he hit two consecutive three-pointers after the main player came on the field. Coupled with a 2+1 shot by Duncan who broke into the paint, the Suns instantly widened the point difference to 8 points. This is the largest point difference between the two sides since the start of the game, and it happened [-] minutes before the end of the game. when!
"Spurs... are in danger!"
Kenny Smith shook his head. From the screen, he could see the solidified atmosphere of the Spurs bench. At this time, some Spurs players who were not determined were showing despair. Gao Tian almost destroyed their hope.
"It's Duncan again!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith made the same move, and the two were surprisingly consistent. When the Spurs were most desperate, it was still Duncan who stood up. He made continuous kills at the basket, and his free throw percentage for the season was less than [-]%. He hit five free throws in a row. After missing the last free throw, he grabbed a rebound and made a second tip-up. The point difference returned to seven points again, and he jumped to the three-point line on the defensive end to give Raja Bell blocked the shot, and the opportunity that Gao Tian worked so hard to create was wiped out.
After Duncan played, the Spurs became more stable. Duncan's huge ability to protect the frame at the basket caused huge troubles for the Suns. The continuous blocks made the Suns players dare not go to the basket at all, and the fierce Spurs players outside The Sun's defense made almost all the open positions of the Suns into blacksmiths, and it was difficult for Gao Tian, who was often forced to the basket by two or three people, to receive the ball smoothly.
Popovich was right again.
In the intense playoffs, Nash and Lagabel finally tilted the balance of victory to the Spurs with four strikes in the most critical 3 minutes, following Duncan stepping on the three-point line with 24 seconds of violation Hit a two-pointer, and the Spurs succeeded in overtaking by one point!
Time, there are 56 seconds left.
Everyone in the American West arena was silent, only the roars of D'Antoni and Popovich echoed in the arena, and many fans could hear the sound of "dong dong" coming from their hearts. Hold your hands tightly on your chest and pray to God, Phoenix can no longer lose to the Spurs!
The heavy-faced Nash directly called a timeout after receiving the teammate's baseline serve and dribbled it to the frontcourt. Duncan's crucial goal just now hurt the Suns' confidence too much. They needed a timeout to stabilize.
"Gao, then you use Stoudemire and Raja's double screen to go from the free throw line to a semi-circular top and then Dior's serve will come to you. The next game is up to you, whether it is a three-pointer Point or two points, we all believe in you!"
"it is good!"
Looking at his teammates' expectant or longing eyes, Gao Tian's heart suddenly trembled. All the unhappiness in the past was put behind his head, but now everyone's hearts are tightly united. They are all for Fight with one goal, that is victory!
