Defending champion

Chapter 196
Chapter No.16 Tie-break
The game entered the last 2 minutes of the Tianwangshan battle. The Spurs were still 4 points behind the Hornets, but the Hornets had the ball.So far in the game, it is still unknown who will win and who will win?
This wave of offense is very important for the Spurs. Parker had just dribbled the ball for halftime, and Popovich immediately stepped into the court and asked the referee for a long timeout.

Popovich's timeout did not change the current situation of the Spurs. On the contrary, their situation was even worse after the timeout!

The young Hornets showed enough resilience to the Spurs. The Hornets' mad dog defense shocked the Spurs generals.The Hornets successfully defended against the Spurs' attack. At the most critical moment of the game, the Spurs were defended against a 24-second offensive violation by the Hornets!
The ball came to the hands of the Hornets again, and now there is 1 minute and 26 seconds left in the game, 80 to 84, and the Hornets lead by 4 points.The Hornets have a great chance of winning this game, it only depends on whether the Hornets can grasp it at the last moment.

Paul dribbles on the outside to organize the offense!One hand is steadily dribbling the ball, while the other hand is raised high and constantly changing gestures according to the situation on the field, and, in his mouth, he keeps shouting: "move...move...move... "

Suddenly, dribbling, Paul casts a meaningful look at Jack.Jack, I understood in time. In fact, to be honest, Jack really couldn't understand the meaning in Paul's eyes.However, I have been training with Paul for so long.Jack didn't use his brain to think at all. Looking into his eyes, he subconsciously ran towards Paul to pick and roll him.This may be the so-called tacit understanding!
Parker, who was defending Paul, realized that someone was about to pick and roll, looked back subconsciously, and took another step forward. Paul moved, and like a sharp knife, Paul rubbed straight in from Jack's shoulder...

At this time, the Spurs' penalty area was stretched to an unusually empty space.Duncan immediately defended, and Paul faced the Spurs' inside pillar Tim Duncan in the Spurs' penalty area. If Paul wants to force a layup with this ball.It will be very dangerous!

Paul couldn't care less, he jumped up suddenly, half-turned in the air to face Duncan, the ball in his hand swung out with unimaginable force...

Facing Paul's move, Duncan was also very shocked!Duncan had no idea what Paul was up to.

"Damn it! Robert made it up! Block his shot!" Duncan yelled at Holly with a tyrannical face and his face was abnormally distorted; but it was too late.

A black shadow passed by Duncan's side, the basketball passed by Paul happened to be impartial, and Jack received Paul's pass!

After catching the ball, he took advantage of the momentum and started straight away, striding and bending his knees, Jack jumped up like a spring on the dry ground, jumped up from the ground, and slammed into the basket with a thunderous force...

"Forcing..." The referee's whistle sounded along with it!

The Spurs blocked the foul and Jack scored!Additional penalty!Jack got a two-plus-one chance.

During the high-speed travel just now, Robert Hawley wanted to come over and stop it.However, when he saw Jack's body rushing up like a heavy bomber.He just gave up. He didn't want to be injured when his career was on the verge of retiring. It was really not worth it for a veteran like him.

Although Holly thought about avoiding it, it was too late now.Jack took the initiative to dribble and attack, and dunked directly on Holly's head.

injustice!He still hasn't figured out what it's like to be number one?This ball is really unfair to Robert Hawley!He hasn't figured out what's going on?It was called a foul.

However, when Jack dunked, Holly did not stand still, and his footsteps were not clear.Moreover, it is still the home court of the Hornets.In order to take care of the fans on the scene, the referee can only sacrifice the cold-blooded killer.

"But...but..." At first, there was a lot of boos from the team, and the boos were of course for Holly.After the booing was over, they went up, the earth-shattering whoops and cheers.According to the lineup of the Hornets this season, it has made history, but according to the current development trend of the Hornets.The Hornets may be making history today.

Jack stands at the free throw line and executes the free throw!

"mvp...mvp...mvp...mvp..." The fans at the scene shouted in unison...

"Shabu" Jack finally lived up to expectations, added a penalty and scored, and succeeded in hitting a three-pointer.Jack's two plus one fundamentally cut off the Spurs' dream of winning.

"Beep..." The whistle sounded at the end of the game, but the Spurs still failed to create a miracle.In the end, the Spurs lost the game 88-94!
In the battle of Tianwangshan, Jack did his best. In this game, Jack scored a game-high 29 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks and 5 assists. The most important thing is that Jack didn't make a single mistake in this game.Moreover, he has repeatedly made key shots for the Hornets at critical moments.

After the Hornets won this game, the total score of the two sides entered a 3-3 tie!The two sides entered the tiebreaker.

At the press conference after the game:

After losing the sixth Tianwangshan battle, the three tanks of the Spurs were obviously in a very depressed mood. They sat on the interview booth with a blank face, answering the reporter's questions one after another.

However, looking back at the Hornets side, after winning the Tianwangshan battle, the Hornets players were very excited and began to talk nonsense at the press conference.

The Hornets are a very young team. The oldest member of the Hornets is PJ Brown, who is 33 years old, and the others are some young guys who are 23,4 or [-] years old.It is rare to fight the defending champion of the previous year to the seventh game.

For the young Hornets, not to mention winning, even playing to the seventh game with the Spurs is a very remarkable existence.

"Great! Man, we won, and we will keep winning." JR Smith also hugged Butler's neck very excitedly, grabbed the microphone of the media with one hand, and shouted.

"We are the best team, and the Black Eight Miracle is ready to be born!"

………………

However, as the number one hero of the game, Jack did behave very calmly.Jack is not a man with ego, he will not naively think that if you win Game [-], you can win this series.This game is just one of many games.Before he had time to savor the joy of victory carefully, Jack immediately had to devote himself to preparing for the next battle.

Although Jack was able to do this, his teammates didn't seem to have recovered from the joy of victory?
