NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 289 We Want Two Points

"Hoho..."

Duncan felt that he was about to collapse. He sat on the bench and took deep breaths to recover his energy.

Popovich adjusted the lineup. Horry was replaced after playing 2 minutes before this quarter, and now he replaced him again.

At the critical moment, this is a shooter he believes in.

"Tim, you go to the fifth position and entangle the big pest with all your strength. The Suns will never think that we will play the tactic of changing the ball again." He said to Duncan.

"Robert, you go and keep an eye on the No. 69 Chinese, he is not capable of confrontation, but don't put space, he has a bit of a basket." He said to Horry again.

"Bruce, Marion must be watched and never let go." He said to Bowen again.

Finally, he said to Parker and Ginobili: "I want the success rate, don't mess around."

For the Suns, they played a full quarter and scored 6 points on 3 of 8 shots. They performed well, but they were replaced at this time. No. [-], Marbury No. [-], five players, and four defensive champions.

Frank said with certainty: "They want to chase points, so we will defend to the death and delay the time. The initiative is on our side, and we will win this game!"

Both sides played, the game restarted, and the Spurs had the ball.

Popovich found that the Suns lineup had changed. Horry was facing Marion, and there were not many open opportunities. The same was true for Bowen facing Battier. Manu Ginobili was also facing pressure against Posey. Duncan said: "Change the tactics. You go back to the [-]th position to play Marion, and let Horila shoot. If the big pest wants the ball, this is a good opportunity, just cut it directly, without waiting for the shot."

Duncan nodded and talked to the others.

The Spurs attack, Bowen serves from the sideline, Parker advances quickly in the middle, Ginobili and Bowen respond from the left and right wings.

The sun's three-two defense, Shane Battier guarded the high position.

Parker and Bowen picked and rolled in the middle. After breaking through Marbury, they pulled to the right elbow in a high position and avoided Battier's supplementary defense.

He made a jumper motion into the right elbow, which is where he takes a lot of shots now, and immediately drew the defensive attention of Battier and Marion in the low post on the right wing, and then lobbed the ball to Duncan behind Marion. .

Duncan catches the ball and pushes Marion in front. Before Battier double-teams, he hits the board at 45 degrees and the ball is scored.

Li Ba didn't have time to help defend, because when Parker broke through, Horry suddenly pulled away and made a movement to ask for the ball, which distracted him. By the time he realized it, he was already a step behind.

81:84, with 43 seconds left, the attack took 16 seconds.

Sun attack.

Horry almost emptied Li Ba, but Marbury dared not pass.

Li Ba suddenly bypassed Horry in front and moved to the basket, but the Spurs did not double-team him.

"Will it be passed on?"

At this moment, Marbury quickly made a calculation in his heart.

"Try it!"

There is no one around the Hammer, and the chance of lobs is good. Before the Hammer catches the ball, Horry dare not foul, because that is two free throws and one throw.

So, Marbury passed directly, to the basket.

At the moment of his shot, Li Ba's locking skill was triggered, and he immediately rushed to the basket at a faster speed.

"Empty pick? Not good!"

At this moment, Duncan on the right wing and Popovich on the sidelines immediately reacted, but they couldn't stop Li Ba.

"Oh!"

Li Ba stepped on the ground, soared into the air, and pressed his right palm against the basketball flying in front of him.

"boom!"

Heavy dunk with one arm, trembling at the basket.

At 81:86, the Suns regained their lead by 5 points with 30 seconds left.

"what!!!!!!"

Seeing the team leader complete a heavy dunk at the last moment, the shouts of the American West Arena suddenly exploded.

"The ball was beautiful, and the Spurs didn't react at all. Horry's defense against the hammer must have the idea of ​​​​cutting people. It is impossible to go up and carry people, but he let it go too far."

Zhang Lili laughed.

The Spurs called a timeout again. This was the last 20-second long timeout, and there was a [-]-second short timeout in hand.

"Robert, you put that guy in too much, you have to cut the route between him and the basket, you know that."

Popovich growled at Horry.

At the critical moment, the veteran made a mistake.

But he didn't make a substitution, because he needed Huo Li and his big heart to chase points.

The timeout ends, the game returns, and the Spurs serve from the sideline.

Parker advanced with the ball, and Horry suddenly ran to the left bottom corner in the frontcourt.

At this time, the Suns' defensive formation had not been fully deployed, and Horry returned to Liba's defense. Seeing Horry running to the baseline, he instructed Battier to take a look.

But at this moment, Parker passed the ball directly from the backcourt, a long pass, across the entire court, directly to Horry, and Horry caught the ball and shot it.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

84:86, the Spurs trailed by 2 points away.

With 27 seconds left, the attack took only 3 seconds.

"Horry's matchup with the hammer, Popovich's strange tactics are really a headache." Zhang Lili said.

The sun serves and Frank calls for a timeout.

He said to Sean Battier in front of the bench: "Sean, watch him a little bit. The hammer can't leave the paint area, you have to switch defenses in time. As soon as Horry leaves the hammer, you have to follow up in time, you The position is handed over to someone else."

Battier nodded. He was indeed slow to make up the defense.

The timeout is over and the game is back.

At the top of the Suns frontcourt arc, Marbury took control and asked Battier for a pick-and-roll.

Just as Battier was moving, Parker and Bowen suddenly double-teamed him first.

"It's over, the ball is stolen! A mistake at a critical moment is fatal!" Seeing Parker stealing the ball, Zhang Lili yelled anxiously.

The Spurs went down, Ginobili caught the ball, shook Posey on the right-wing three-point line, and then shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

87:86, the Spurs went ahead by 1 point with 15 seconds left.

"At the critical moment, the Spurs' three-pointer was also accurate. Now they are one point behind, and the Suns are passive. Fortunately, the ball is in their hands. At this time, the hammer must not take the ball. Frank should change a few to score now. Come up." Zhang Li sighed.

"Step on the line, step on the line!"

Frank pointed at Ginobili's feet and shouted at the referee.

After replay, the referee made the final decision, two points, 86 draws.

With 15 seconds left, after six contests, the two teams stood on the same starting line.

The Suns served the ball and were knocked out of the boundary by the Spurs. The Suns took the opportunity to call the last timeout.

He replaced Battier, on Joe Johnson.

"Two points, we want two points, we want a success rate."

Frank explained in a low voice, and arranged an offensive tactic: "The Hammer asks for the ball in the low post to attract the defense, Sean pulls it out and takes Duncan away, Stephen rushes in to score, or distributes the ball to Sean or Joe."

On the Spurs side, Popovich said: "They feel mediocre today. Did they only hit three or two three-pointers? It must be two points, and it must be Marbury's breakthrough. We are like this..."
