Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After this pause, both sides began to change lineups.

What makes the home fans depressing is that the Spurs' bench lineup is like a magic weapon today, and they have been indistinguishable from Qin Hao, Xiaoka, Lou Wei, Speights, and Mozkov before relying on the bench lineup.

At this time, the 76ers are playing with Butler with a bench lineup, but they can only play on a par with the opponent, and they can't take advantage of it.

Whenever the 76ers score a goal, the other side can always fight back.

Until the end of the third quarter, the 76ers were not able to overtake the score and were still 2 points behind, which made the players feel very depressed and did not understand how this happened.

"It's okay, the opponent played really well." Qin Hao clapped his hands and greeted his teammates, "The fourth quarter is the key, play well and win the game."

"Um."

"Yes, the fourth quarter is the key."

Everyone said in succession, but their hearts were all dignified.

They cannot take the lead in the first three quarters and gain an advantage. In the last quarter, they will be under a lot of pressure. They may stalemate until the last few minutes, or even the last minute, and the variables will be extremely large.

at the same time.

On the Spurs side, from the coach to the players, the mood is not easy.

Although they were still ahead, a 2-point difference was nothing because there was a whole quarter left in the game.

For the 76ers, not being able to solve the battle in three quarters means that there will be many variables, and conversely, the same is true for the Spurs. If the three quarters cannot widen the point difference and fail to accumulate enough advantages, the result will change in the fourth quarter. unpredictable.

Soon, the fourth quarter begins.

The two sides returned to the court, and the 76ers were on the side of Xiaoka, let Xiaoka play with Lou Wei, Speights, Mozkov, and Iverson.

Seeing Iverson playing, the home fans were excited, and the voice of "AI" resounded throughout the arena.

In the previous three quarters, the 76ers' bench lineup could only be tied with the opponent each time, and sometimes even fell behind.

So at this moment, Coach Luke boldly replaced Iverson, hoping that Iverson would use his experience to make the bench perform as it should.

As soon as he arrived on the court, Iverson was a pick-and-roll breakthrough, but instead of shooting himself, he divided the ball, shouted at his teammates, directed them to run, and passed the ball.

Swish!

The opportunity is good, Speights hit a jumper.

"Nice job, that's it," Iverson yelled at Speights, giving him a high five.

In the next few rounds, Iverson gave full play to the role of Big Brother, constantly commanding his teammates, mobilizing the players' initiative, and letting them play as well as possible.

"Mozkov, go low, go low."

"Xiaoka, you go to the bottom corner and wait there... Directly cast, don't hesitate, this is where you should shoot..."

I only heard Iverson's incessant shouting. Under his leadership, the 76ers' bench lineup changed its previous situation and played extremely well and gained the upper hand.

It was a pleasant surprise.

In fact, entering the finals stage, Iverson's playing time has been further compressed, the average playing time is only a few minutes.

This is also a helpless thing. After entering the finals, the intensity of confrontation has further increased, and every game the 76ers play is not easy. With Iverson's current physical state, it is difficult to adapt to this intensity of competition. So it's more of a spiritual leader.

Just now Coach Luke put Iverson on the court, which was also a bit risky.

Fortunately, the result turned out to be good, which made Coach Luke feel relieved. At this moment, they have overtaken the score, from 2 points behind to 2 points ahead.

"beep......"

When four minutes passed in the fourth quarter, Popovich called a timeout and started making substitutions with a stern face.

He was not satisfied with the team's performance in these four minutes. He even let Iverson, a veteran who has reached the end of his career, lead a group of young people to gain the upper hand, not only catching up with the score, but also overtaking the score. It shouldn't be.

"There are still 8 minutes left, and it is also the last eight minutes." Mr. Popovich couldn't keep his composure at the moment, and his tone was a little trembling, "We must play these eight minutes well, and we must give 120% strength, because we can’t lose, and we can’t afford to lose.”

"Well." Everyone nodded in unison, all in awe.

Afterwards, Mr. Popovich spread out the tactical board and made some arrangements.

Here's the 76ers.

Coach Luke also made substitutions and replaced the main players.

Iverson was also replaced. With a smile on his face, he patted Qin Hao and Butler on the arms and said, "I'll leave it to you next."

In fact, Iverson didn't score much in these few minutes. He only scored one goal and scored two points, but he played a great role.

When the opponent called a timeout, the moment he came off the court, he suddenly felt as if all his strength had been drained. In just a few minutes, it seemed that all his strength had been used up.

At this moment, Iverson knew that it was really time for him to say goodbye to this stage.

He also understands that there is only so much he can do. Fortunately, in such a crucial game, he can still play and play a role. But next, it's up to young people, because their fuel tank is empty.

"Um."

"Don't worry, we won't let you down."

Qin Hao nodded in unison and stepped onto the court.

......

Pause ends.

In the auditorium, the fans all stood up, and there were still 8 minutes left, but at this time the atmosphere on the field had become extremely heavy, as if the air was about to freeze.

Everyone knows that this is the last eight minutes, and whether the series will end there or will it be dragged into the tiebreaker, depends on the last eight minutes.

"attack!"

The Spurs attack.

Parker pushed the ball to the frontcourt, still in a positional battle, passing the ball continuously, using tactical cooperation, using the tacit understanding between the players to tear the 76ers defense, and then looking for opportunities to shoot.

boom!

The Spurs failed to score this time.

The 76ers counterattacked, Qin Hao came to the frontcourt to break through, encountered the opponent's blockage, threw the ball out, passed it to Butler, Butler made a three-pointer, but failed to score...

I don't know if it's because the atmosphere is too depressed and the players are under too much pressure, or because the defenses of both sides are too fierce.

For a time, the two sides were hitting the iron again and again.

It lasted for more than two minutes before Qin Hao made a breakthrough and made a strong play, causing Duncan to foul and hit the free throw line to make two free throws, breaking the scoring drought on the field.

After this ball, the 76ers' offense improved and the Spurs' scoring drought came to an end, but there were only more than five minutes left in the game. As the time for the game became less and less, the game became more and more tragic, and it really reached the point of desperation.
