Chapter 201 Overtime
Author: Different Sparks
Da Zhuang, who opened the system half an hour before the start of the game, also smiled after seeing the refreshed buffs. Perhaps the system heard Da Zhuang's call, so it also gave two red buffs.
But even so, Da Zhuang did not expect that this game would be so difficult as to be unimaginable.
In the predictions of all those who are paying attention to this game, they will think that the game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs will be very fierce. This is also a situation that many people hope to see. After all, it is a strong dialogue in the Western Conference, which is equivalent to the previous one.
The continuation of the Western Conference Finals this season, but no one expected that this game could no longer be described as intense. Tragic would be more appropriate.
Even in Da Zhuang's view, not even last season's Western Conference Finals or Finals can compare to this game.
From the first minute of the game, both sides were on the verge of stabbing each other, and the game was tense.
Often the Timberwolves have just made a shot, and the Spurs will hit back with another shot. The scores of both sides also rise alternately. From the beginning of the game to the last minute of the game, there is no time when the score difference between the two sides is the largest.
More than five points, this is also the only game this season where Dazhuang stood on the sidelines from beginning to end.
At this time, there were only 7 seconds left on the court. The Timberwolves led the Spurs by two points, 98 to 96, but the ball in the final attack belonged to the Spurs.
When Popovich called a timeout to arrange the final attack, Da Zhuang was also arranging defensive tactics.
Soon the timeout ended and the two sides began the last 7 seconds.
A game lasts 48 minutes, but only 7 seconds determine the outcome.
Leonard used Ginobili's screen to receive the pass from the sideline, and then accelerated the ball and ran to the left. Parker once again provided a screen, allowing Leonard to contain the Timberwolves' double-team defense.
Da Zhuang was also sure that the Spurs' final attack would be handed over to Leonard. He also guessed that the Timberwolves' defensive tactics were indeed executed very well. Although there was no double-teaming, Bennett's follow-up
The defense really interfered with Leonard's shooting.
The three-pointer finally hit the basket and bounced up. At this time, the Timberwolves bench was already ready to celebrate. Many players raised their hands and were ready to cheer. The Timberwolves fans in the stands also cheered.
Be prepared.
But at this moment, an accident happened. Diaw, who had been suppressed by Oden throughout the game, stunned all the Timberwolves who were ready to cheer. Diaw, who jumped up first, scored the ball when the time was about to reach zero.
The basket.
He won the whole game this time, and with these two points, Diaw scored 10 points in total. This shows how miserable he was under Oden's suppression, but these two points were priceless.
Da Zhuang on the sidelines protested to the referee that the goal should be invalid because the time had expired. After the referee team watched the game video, they made a decision that the goal was valid.
98 to 98, the two sides were tied with 0.1 seconds left.
The last 0.1 seconds were of no use to the Timberwolves, and the game entered overtime.
Da Zhuang on the sidelines shook his head helplessly when he saw this situation. Oden had neglected this once in the entire game, but this time the game had to go into overtime.
And Da Zhuang knows that this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the buff has expired. The next overtime game is the real display of the strength of the two teams. However, the only advantage is that the Timberwolves win because they are young enough. From then on,
The heaving chests of Duncan and others sitting on the Spurs bench showed how exhausted these veterans were.
But what Da Zhuang didn't expect was that these veterans put enough pressure on the Timberwolves.
At the beginning of the first overtime, the Spurs gave the Timberwolves a sufficient surprise.
A 7-0 spurt made the score difference between the two sides exceed five points for the first time in the game.
98 to 105, the Timberwolves fell behind by 5 points.
Now it was the Timberwolves' turn to start chasing points, but fortunately, Middleton quickly stabilized the situation with a three-pointer.
With 58 seconds left in overtime, the score on the field was 113-113, and the two sides were tied again.
To make matters worse for the Timberwolves, something happened. Duncan's offense in the paint not only scored the ball, but also caused a foul on Yi Jianlian. This was Yi Jianlian's sixth foul of the game, so he had no choice but to be dismissed.
Duncan's free throw for the Spurs successfully completed two plus one.
113 to 116, the Spurs once again led the Timberwolves by three points.
What many people didn't expect was that Middleton also responded to the Timberwolves' next attack, and his breakthrough caused Ginobili to foul.
The Argentinian also left the game with six fouls.
Middleton, who stood on the free throw line, made two free throws. The score became 115-116, with only one point difference and 30 seconds left.
"This game should be the most intense game so far this season. I feel like I can't breathe anymore. Both sides are really fired up at this time. It can be said that today's game is no less than one."
Finals."
"Yes, I feel that the game between the two teams in the Western Conference Finals last season was not as intense as this one. It was too tragic. Allen and Ginobili were both sent off, and several players on the court were very dangerous. Oden
It was five times, Duncan was also five times, Leonard was better only four times, Bennett was also five times, and Parker was also five times. As long as there is a foul next time, someone is very likely to be dismissed."
"Yes, at this time I feel that these tactics are useless."
"What's the point of talking about tactics at this time? This is the time to fight for willpower. It depends on who can grit his teeth and survive until the end."
Yang Yi and Zhang Lili were also very excited to watch in the Penguin live broadcast room. At this time, the old partners Barkley and Smith on the commentary table at the Target Center could not sit still at all. They were already standing there explaining the game.
, almost all Timberwolves fans in the stands stood in their own positions.
Next is the Spurs' offensive possession. Parker controls the time with the ball on the outside. In this attack, the Spurs not only hope to score, but also hope to use up the 24 seconds.
The Timberwolves are also well prepared to defend.
But there was no way. Before 24 seconds ran out, Leonard also used the screen to hit a mid-range shot.
115 to 118, the Spurs lead the Timberwolves by three points, with the last 6 seconds left, just like the last replica of regular time.
At this time, Da Zhuang called a timeout on the sidelines. After some arrangements, the timeout ended and the game between the two sides continued.
Only three points could bring the Timberwolves back in this final attack. At this time, many fans in the stands did not even dare to watch.
