Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"beep......"

whistle.

Popovich called for another timeout.

At this time, there were more than three minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the Spurs trailed by seven points.

In fact, in this whole game, the difference between the two sides has been hovering around a few points, but this time is different from before, and now there are only more than three minutes left in the game.

The less time there is, the worse it will be for the Spurs. Even if they are only 7 points behind, it seems that they can catch up with two or three goals. Is it really that easy? With the current state of the 76ers and Qin Hao's strength, can they really catch up with the 7-point difference casually?

"We need to score..." Popovich said.

For most teams, when the score is behind, the coach tends to emphasize defense, because only when you defend can you fight back and hope to score points.

But the Spurs are different. Defense is their forte, and it doesn't need to be emphasized again, but after defending, they have to score the ball.

This may seem contradictory to the previous sentence, but it is actually two sides of one thing, just like "offense and defense", there is no right or wrong in itself, it just varies from time to time.

"Manu, you have to make more breakthroughs and tear apart the opponent's defense."

"Tim, you have to take the initiative to attack. We have an advantage at this point, and we must make good use of it..."

Afterwards, Mr. Popovich made another arrangement. This is the exhalation, and said solemnly: "There are more than three minutes, we have a chance, come on!"

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

......

After a while, the game continued.

The home fans are nervous at the moment, the situation is not good for the Spurs, they can see it, and time is running out.

They still have confidence, though, because that's the Spurs, you can beat them, but you can't beat them easily.

on the field.

The Spurs attacked. Parker pushed the ball to the frontcourt and glanced at Qin Hao. He and Qin Hao were at a disadvantage. He was not good at speed, and his height and confrontation ability were also at a disadvantage, so in these two games he Among the troikas, it is the one that played the worst.

"Tony."

Seeing Parker's hesitant look, Mr. Popovich frowned and shouted at the field.

Parker came back to his senses. He had the urge to directly single against Qin Hao and score a goal on his head, but when he heard the coach's call, he calmed down and passed the ball to Ginobili.

At this time, the five players on the Spurs field were Duncan, Diaw, Green, Manu Ginobili, and Parker. The two starters, Split and Jackson, were sitting off the field.

This lineup is more flexible than their starting lineup, and the space is more open. Parker walks to the left after scoring the ball, Green stands outside the three-point line in the bottom corner on the right, and Diao comes to the right to give Ginobili Made a pick-and-roll with Duncan down low on the left.

As a result, there was a large space on the right side. With the help of Dior's pick-and-roll, Ginobili immediately broke through. Nene stepped forward and blocked in front, but Ginobili suddenly hugged the ball and moved in a serpentine position. , gave Nei Nei a stunned moment, and settled in place.

But there are cards.

Xiaoka has already rushed over. His defensive awareness is very good. Knowing that Nene is difficult to guard against Ginobili, he seized the opportunity and rushed.

But at this time, Ginobili suddenly passed the ball out.

"what?"

"not good."

Exclamations rang out from the 76ers bench.

The basketball passed through Xiaoka's armpit and gave it to Duncan's hand. This is the meaning of Duncan standing in the low position on the left.

Swish!

Duncan hit the board with a 5-point difference.

"nice shot."

"This breakthrough is really beautiful, and Duncan's ending is also beautiful, and it's still so stable. It's up to Manu and Duncan at the critical moment."

Cheers came and went.

But listening to the fans' comments, Parker was a little depressed. Did you forget one of the troikas? I am transparent.

......

The 76ers fought back.

Qin Hao pushed the ball to the frontcourt, first asked for a pick-and-roll, then accelerated the breakthrough, went straight to the inside line, and shot in the face of Duncan's defense. As a result, Duncan fouled and Qin Hao failed to score the ball.

Fortunately, Qin Hao's free throws have always been very stable. He hit the free throw line twice with two extra penalties, and the difference was widened to 7 points again.

However, it wasn't long before Ginobili shot again. After receiving the pass from his teammate, he made a three-pointer with a drift. With a "swoosh", the basketball hollowed into the net, completely igniting the enthusiasm of the home fans, cheering The sound was high, like thunder.

There were only more than two minutes left in the game, and the difference was 7 points. They really needed such a three-pointer, and they reduced the difference to 4 points.

Coach Luke frowned and called for a time-out adjustment.

"Defend well." Coach Luke said in a deep voice: "Iguodala, you have to pay attention to guarding Ginobili, you can't let him jump out and make trouble again."

"Yeah." Iguodala nodded heavily and felt a little helpless. This guy Ginobili sometimes played unexpectedly and was very difficult to defend.

After some arrangement, the game continued.

Back on the court, Qin Hao made a breakthrough when he got to the front court and attacked the frame directly. There were only more than two minutes left, and he needed to be firmer.

boom!

Too bad the ball didn't go in.

Fortunately, the Spurs' counterattack was not able to score. In the next two rounds, both sides were ironclad, and neither was able to score.

Seeing that there was only one minute left in the game, Ginobili shot again, a counter-run, took the ball from his teammates, then raised the ball, and was about to shoot a three-pointer. Iguodala subconsciously stood on tiptoe. Ginobili passed him with an acceleration, rushed inside, jumped up against Speights, and folded in the air.

Snapped!

beep!

Speights thugs, the referee blows the whistle.

And the Manu Ginobili was still in the air, twisting his body and throwing the ball crookedly, and finally let him throw in.

A 2+1!

For a time, the home fans went crazy and excited.

The 2+1 tie made the score 105:104, and the Spurs were only one point behind, and with less than a minute left in the game, they narrowed the gap to just one point.

With more than thirty seconds left, both sides have an offensive opportunity, and the Spurs have a chance to come back.

Coach Luke called a timeout again, and didn't make too many arrangements, just handed the ball to Qin Hao and let Qin Hao act on the court.

When the timeout came back, Qin Hao came to the frontcourt and immediately felt a huge pressure. The Spurs also knew that he would play the ball, so the defense focused on him.

"Phew." Qin Hao exhaled, called a pick-and-roll, and then accelerated.

But just as soon as he moved, the Spurs immediately shrank the defense line, and the inside line was crowded, and he had no chance to break in. Qin Hao frowned, then stopped and leaned back.
