Chapter 166 A decisive promotion

"Defend! Defend! Defend!..."

All the Spurs fans in the stands of AT&T Center stood up and shouted defense in unison. At this time, the sixth round of the game between the two sides was coming to an end.

There are only 57 seconds left before the end of the game. At this time, the Timberwolves have the offensive ball on the field.

At this time, the score on the court was 97 to 98, and the Spurs were one point behind the Timberwolves.

In this game, the system issued two red buffs to Da Zhuang, but he was still entangled with the Spurs until the end of the game.

In this game, Leonard is like a god coming down from the earth, almost relying on him alone to drag the game to this point.

So far in the game, Leonard has scored 47 points, and also contributed 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Bennett was directly beaten by the opponent in this game, early in the fourth quarter at 6 minutes and 23 seconds.

At that time, he got his sixth foul of the game and was sent off.

Middleton faced Ginobili's defense and stood on the left side with the ball. Then Yi Jianlian immediately stepped forward and prepared for the pick-and-roll, and Ginobili was also ready to go around from the front, but at this time

Middleton did not move in the direction Ginobili wanted, but suddenly accelerated toward the bottom corner with the ball.

This move was completely beyond Ginobili's expectations, so naturally he was half a beat slower in reaction, and it was this half-beat that caused a loophole in the Spurs' defense at this moment. Middleton, who was accelerating, suddenly

He made an emergency stop and then collected the ball and made a shooting motion, which immediately forced Split to defend.

Next, the basketball in Middleton's hand was indeed released, but instead of flying toward the basket, it flew directly to Yi Jianlian, who was already standing at the top of the arc.

After receiving the ball, Yi Jianlian adjusted for a moment and then shot a three-pointer.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball flying in the air.

At this time, when Yi Jianlian shot the basketball, there was already a smile on Chen Dazhuang's lips on the sidelines.

One of the red buffs in this game was applied to Yi Jianlian. The open three-point shooting rate increased by 50%, and the misplaced three-point shooting rate formed after the screen increased by 30%. This

It's very powerful.

As expected, Chen Dazhuang was not disappointed.

The basketball quickly fell into the basket accurately.

This three-pointer completely pushed the Spurs to the edge of the cliff.

97 to 101, four points behind the Timberwolves, with 42 seconds left in the game.

Then Popovich called a timeout. It could be seen from this guy's face that the Spurs were indeed at a critical moment. The next offense was very critical for the Spurs, whether it was three points or two points.

If they can score, there is still hope for the game, but once they are defended by the Timberwolves, the chance for the game is basically lost.

Another more important thing is time. The Spurs don't want to waste too much time in this offense.

Chen Dazhuang is also very aware of this, and Dazhuang knows that the opponent will definitely use Leonard to end the offense. After all, the game is now in progress, and the shooting percentage of other Spurs players cannot be guaranteed. Only Leonard's touch is still hot.

.

"Chase, keep your eyes on Kawhi, remember, I don't ask you to guard him, you just need to follow him, don't let him easily complete the shot, others should help guard, remember

, control the opponent's three points, rather give them two points than give them

Three points, do you understand? Guys, with these last few dozen seconds left, you will create the history of the Timberwolves. Your names will forever be engraved in the history of the Timberwolves. You will be remembered by all Timberwolves fans.

Keep this in mind, come on, kill them!"

"Kill them!" All hands were joined together, and the final battle began.

When the timeout is up, the game continues.

Parker took advantage of Duncan's position to run back and catch the sideline ball from Split, and then Leonard directly stepped forward and caught the ball hand-in-hand with Parker.

Budinger followed very closely, and strictly followed Chen Dazhuang's instructions not to attack easily, but just clung to the opponent. Duncan mentioned the high pick-and-roll, and at this time Yi Jianlian also followed up and interrupted.

Leonard tried to use the pick-and-roll screen to create a shot opportunity, and here Budinger didn't care about the opponent at all after Duncan completed the pick-and-roll, but directly formed a double-team with Yi Jianlian on Leonard.

The defensive tactics of the Timberwolves are very clear. I would rather let you go to Duncan than let Leonard go. At this time, Leonard's position is also very awkward. He is 30 degrees to the left and has lost the ability to move around.

space, time passed by second by second, Leonard knew that he could not delay it any longer, and had no choice but to hand the ball to Duncan.

Duncan, who received the ball, was completely left open, and seeing that the Timberwolves still maintained their defensive intensity against Leonard, they could only complete the offense with a mid-range shot.

The basketball hit the board and fell into the frame. I have to admit that this move is indeed Duncan's unique skill. Chen Dazhuang on the sidelines shook his head slightly after seeing the basketball fall into the basket. It's not that he didn't care about the team's defense this time.

He was not satisfied, but admired that Duncan still had that expressionless expression even after the fight.

The Stone Buddha is worthy of being a Stone Buddha. Even after being beaten to this level, he is still as motionless as a mountain.

99 to 101, the Spurs are still two points behind, and there are 33 seconds left on the clock.

Chen Dazhuang called a timeout from the sidelines.

In the next attack, the Timberwolves not only have to score, but also try to use up 24 seconds as much as possible. This time is very difficult for the Spurs, because the two-point difference is to implement foul tactics, or to go all out.

Defense, this requires Popovich to make a choice.

The game continued. After Yi Jianlian sent the sideline ball, Da Zhuang also knew that Popovich chose to defend himself with all his strength and then tried to take advantage of the opportunity of the last attack.

Don't worry, labor and management will definitely not give you this opportunity this time. Da Zhuang stood on the sidelines and watched the game on the field and thought in his mind that when he shook hands later, he could sneer at this old guy.

After Rubio received the pass from Yi Jianlian, he did not pass the ball to Middleton on the outside, but lobbed it to Oden who was stuck inside. At this time, the Spurs' Middleton's defense was the tightest.

, in Popovich's opinion, the chance of the Timberwolves handing the ball to Middleton is very high, and the opponent's touch is also the highest on the team, even Yi Jianlian, who has the red buff, is not as good as the opponent.

Therefore, the Spurs' defensive focus is also on Middleton.
