Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 345
Leonard's strike, the Lakers' counterattack, Kanan's three-pointer!
This time, there are no Spurs players behind Kanaan!

Amid Coach D's shouts, the moment Kanan hit a three-pointer, the entire Staples turned into a boiling ocean after being shocked.

"Oh my God! Kanaan's fast break three-pointer hit. Garnett's backcourt pass directly found Kanaan in the frontcourt. It was an incredible pass. Garnett's backcourt pass was incredible. ! What’s even more incredible is that Coach Xiao Du’s conductor is right next to him. They all say, Coach Xiao Du, this is from heaven and is the gospel of God!! They all say, Coach Xiao Du, at this moment, is like God. Same!!!"

After hitting a three-pointer, Mr. Zhang Lili in the commentary box went completely crazy.

His voice was hoarse, choked, and trembling, but he was once again full of energy.

"42 to 35, the Los Angeles Lakers are now only 7 points behind. Coach Xiao Du once again gave the Lakers hope of catching up and winning. The Lakers, Coach Xiao Du, they have not lost yet!!! "

On the other side of the ocean in China, in front of the TV and in front of the computer, all the viewers watching the live broadcast of this game can be described as thundering with joy. I don’t know how many people are howling at this time. I don’t know how many people are roaring at this time. Kanan is going crazy on the court.

Although the Lakers are still 7 points behind, they have recovered by five points in two rounds. This kind of momentum is incredible for the Lakers who were once in despair and fell into darkness.

The already desperate Lakers, already in darkness, actually saw the light again!
Coach Xiao Du, under such a game situation, once again allowed the Lakers to see the light of day! ! !
On the court, Kanan was very excited after hitting the three-pointer.

This is understandable. His last super three-pointer was blown away by the referee, but this time, no one can stop him!
Therefore, Kanan flew from the front court to the back court to find Garnett!

Garnett was standing under the basket in the Lakers' half. During the Lakers' offense, Garnett didn't even move!
The energy saving is incredible!
Garnett has played countless careers with his current body. His understanding of his body, the distribution of his physical strength, and his understanding of his abilities have reached the ultimate level.

Garnett has always been considered a player in the NBA who is good at everything except defense. He is almost always above 85 points, and not many are above 90 points.

Such characteristics, if only for a career, are indeed disadvantages.

But if there are N careers, it would definitely be Wang Bang.

Even if it is an attribute of 85, if you can use it to the extreme, it is quite terrifying.

For example, Garnett's pass.

As a 38-year-old veteran, to lead the Spurs to win the championship, Garnett focuses on physical distribution, game reading and the ability to control the team.

A flexible old goblin like a fat man is scary, but not that scary.

The most terrifying thing is that an old goblin who does everything to the extreme is terrifying.

At the very least, Garnett's pass in this game really scared Popovich, shocked the Spurs, and stunned the entire NBA audience and experts.

Not to mention Garnett's magical and acrobatic behind-the-back ball in the first half of this game.

Just talk about the fast break pass just now.

Most fast break passes inside are shot as quickly as possible and rarely wait.

Unless there is only one teammate in the frontcourt, and this teammate is the fastest and cannot be caught up by others, then you can wait until the teammate reaches the offensive position and then pass the ball.

But what about just now?
Kanan and the Lakers players are being chased by Spurs players!

The more seconds you wait, the more accurate the defensive players will be in predicting the pass.

Defensive players are not fools and will judge the passing path and intercept the ball.

Therefore, in this situation, the best way is to pass the ball early. However, passing the ball early also has disadvantages, that is, it is difficult for the offensive player to attack immediately after receiving the ball, so he will be chased by the Spurs players behind him.

Pass the ball early and you run the risk of being caught.

If you pass the ball late, you may make a mistake in passing the ball. Even if you don't make a mistake, you may miss the opportunity to pass the ball because there may be no space to pass the ball, and you will directly lose the opportunity for a fast break.

Between these two options, 99.99% of NBA players currently and historically have chosen the first option in the end. If you are caught, you will be caught. At the very least, there will be a chance for a fast break and no mistakes will be made.

This time, Garnett chose the second option.

Moreover, it is extremely accurate!
Kanan just reached his offensive position and just received Garnett's pass!
And Garnett's passing, timing and grasp of space can be described as perfect!

So much so that even Magic on the sidelines now stared with wide eyes, looking at Garnett who was excited and jumped directly on top of Kanan on the court.

"Magic, can you pass this ball?"

The magician was stunned for a moment.

Then he shook his head seriously.

"If it's passed to James, Durant, Kobe, Jordan, I can pass it out, but this person is Kanan... I'm not sure, but I'm sure, even if I can pass it out, there won't be any Garnett is so accurate!"

After the magician finished speaking, the famous Lakers next to him were all silent.

Yes, Kanan is not a perfect pot, not even a good pot. On the way, the Spurs players, except Ginobili, are four others: Finson, Leonard, Danny Green, and Duncan. , all good defenders.

It’s not easy to pass it on time.

The final pass was so perfect, Kanan didn't even need to adjust when receiving the ball, he just attacked directly, this is crazy!

Really cowhide!
"Magic, is KG's current passing ability better than yours?"

This time, the magician shook his head again.

"I don't think KG's passing ability is better than mine, but I really can't pass many of the balls he can pass."

This has nothing to do with passing ability.

Garnett is taller than him and has great vision, passing vision and timing. This has nothing to do with passing ability.

"The four power forwards in the NBA, or the three power forwards, Duncan and Nowitzki have already blocked Garnett's path. Compared with Duncan and Nowitzki, Garnett is so amazing. Mediocre, but now, in this game, Garnett, do you still dare to say that he is mediocre and has no characteristics?

Garnett, under the guidance of Coach D, actually found a third path that was not that of Duncan and Nowitzki, a path that no power forward in NBA history has ever taken!
In the history of the NBA, there has never been any power forward who has polished passing to such a level!

No, in the history of the NBA, there has never been any player who has passed the ball and organized it so well!
This is a real organization. Assists are never an organization, but this is definitely a real organization!

It only took Coach D a year to let us see a Garnett we had never imagined. Even the most die-hard Garnett fans never thought that Garnett could actually be on this road. , walked out of his own way!
Now, like Duncan and Nowitzki, Garnett has his own way, and he is no longer inferior! "

As a special guest on TNT's commentary for this game, McHale has been silent during this game.

O'Neal was so bright that both he and Kenny Smith were suppressed.

But this time!
McHale is really happy for his once most proud disciple Garnett.

"Kevin, these words don't seem to come from the mouth of a famous Celtic star. In other words, you admit that you are not as good as Coach D, and you are even worse than Coach D in one year in ten years?"

"Hahahaha, Kevin, I was joking. Of course you are an excellent coach. I know you very well. Hahahaha, I was really joking just now..."

However, before O'Neal could finish speaking, he was interrupted by McHale.

"Shaq, you are right. It only took Coach D one year to convince me. He knows KG better than I do. His eyes can see the bright light of any player and can discover the hidden potential of all players." In terms of my deepest potential, I am not as good as him, and all coaches in NBA history are not as good as him!"

"Including the cardinal?"

"Including the Cardinal!"

McHale's answer was firm.

So determined that both O'Neal and Kenny Smith were dumbfounded.

The Celtics fans in front of the TV were even more dumbfounded.

Although Coach D is recognized by most NBA fans as the strongest head coach in NBA history.

However, the fans of the Celtics did not admit that their Cardinal was not as good as Coach D.

It is impossible to admit it until Coach D has won so many championships!
But this time, McHale's words were so damn explosive.

McHale is not your average Celtics fan.

He's not even an ordinary Celtic star!

McHale said this with great persuasion.

After coming to their senses, the Kai team fans were very angry!
but!

They can't find any reason to refute it!
because!

on the field!
Garnett is doing something sexy again!
The Spurs' offense, this time, is finally no longer Leonard's offense.

The Lakers turned to Leonard offensively and defensively, putting great pressure on Leonard.

Leonard's physical fitness is not like that of Kobe and Jordan.

There are many players who can combine offense and defense, but historically speaking, there are only a handful of players in the entire NBA who can combine offense and defense throughout the entire game.

If you want to prevent a player from performing well offensively, then wearing him down on the defensive end is definitely a good choice.

That's what the Lakers are doing.

When everyone attacks, they pick-and-roll Leonard and let Garnett teach Leonard a lesson.

Pierce is doing exactly that now.

When on defense, Leonard was challenged crazily.

Pierce's defense isn't as good as Antetokounmpo's.

However, it is indeed suitable for defending Leonard.

Leonard is very uncomfortable now.At this moment, the Spurs can only hand over the offense to Duncan.

This is so obvious!
Therefore, Garnett did not choose to face Duncan one-on-one this time.

Instead, Duncan was handed over to Ebanks and Antetokounmpo.

He ran to defend Ginobili!
Seeing this scene, Duncan was of course extremely surprised and hit the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili hits Garnett in a misplaced position. Isn't this a sure thing?
then!

Duncan's eyes widened!

Ginobili broke through, and Garnett remained motionless. His body only made slight contact with Ginobili, and Ginobili fell to the ground as if he was electrocuted.

Considering Ginobili’s record of diving and the classic GIFs between Ginobili and Antetokounmpo, this time everyone felt that Ginobili was diving at first glance.

Even Duncan thought Ginobili was diving for the first time!

Everyone thought it was a flop. The referee on duty was being stared at by Du Kang and the media around the world, and he did not dare to call Garnett for a defensive foul against his will.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and called Ginobili for a flop, giving the ball to the Lakers.

This round can be said to have stunned Popovich on the sidelines and all the Spurs fans who came from afar.

At this time, he was actually diving. Was Manu's brain kicked by a donkey just now?

The grumpy Popovich even started a hair dryer on the sidelines.

"Manu, were you fucking mentally ill just now? At this moment, you fucking fell down!"

Listening to Bobo's extremely angry scolding, Ginobili gritted his teeth.

He didn't dare cover his ribs with his hands.

Even Tim looked puzzled at this time.

Just when Ginobili wanted to get up silently.

A hand stretched out.

Ginobili looked up and was stunned.

Garnett!
"The ribs hurt, right?"

! ! ! !
Ginobili's eyes widened.

"No need to pretend, maybe I know you better than you do."

Garnett looked at Ginobili who still didn't extend his hand, then looked at Duncan who was walking over not far away. Garnett's outstretched hand finally touched the back of Ginobili's head.

This feel!
It's a pity that I didn't make this braised egg.

"Manu, don't worry."

After Duncan came over and pulled Ginobili up, he looked at Ginobili with concern.

Although I don’t know why Ginobili took such an idiotic dive just now, but...

This is Manu. He believes that Manu is not the kind of player with a negative golf IQ. He is a demon. He is very demonic. Maybe he had some demonic thoughts just now, but he just didn't show it.

So, after Duncan pulled Ginobili up, he rubbed the back of his head to encourage him.

Ok?
Although Duncan did not delve into what just happened, Ginobili breathed a sigh of relief.

but……

This feel?
Ginobili rubbed his eyes.

This is indeed Tim!
Looking back again, that was indeed Garnett!

Ginobili shook his head and slapped his face amid Duncan's confusion.

Illusion, it must be my illusion!

The game continues.

As the morale of the Lakers players was awakened by Coach D, the Spurs' offense was in trouble.

It is said that it is a dilemma, but in fact, it does not look like a dilemma.

Because, on the court, the Spurs can always get some mismatched opportunities.

For example, Leonard played one-on-one against Pierce who was suppressed by back-up play in the previous two games.

For example, Ginobili's one-on-one opportunity to beat Garnett.

In such a game, such opportunities are actually good opportunities.

In a game like this, if you give Jordan, Kobe, and Durant one-on-one opportunities, they will laugh to death.

but!

This is such a good opportunity!

The Spurs' offensive efficiency is very touching!

In the final attack of the third quarter, Ginobili once again got a chance to beat Garnett in isolation.

This time, Duncan still trusted Ginobili very much and wanted to hit the ball to Ginobili.

Looking at Duncan without any hesitation.

Ginobili's hands trembled when he caught the ball.

He wants to stay on the court and continue to help Tim!
He wants to stay on the court and continue to contribute to the Spurs and Pop!
But, he was caught!

He was caught by Garnett!

This was no accident, no fluke, Garnett did catch him!
He has indeed become a liability to the team now!

"That's enough, Tim, that's enough..."

Ginobili, who was holding on to the basketball, gritted his teeth, opened his eyes, and prepared to throw the basketball back to Duncan.

"Tim, don't worry about us anymore, attack it yourself!"

However, Ginobili's behind-the-back pass, which was a fake shot, was unexpectedly caught by Garnett in front of him, who stretched out his long hand!

"OMG!!! Steal!!! Garnett stole Ginobili!!!"

This time, Garnett still didn't run and stood still, while the other four Lakers players rushed out like a flood, like beasts!

"McCaw!!!"

Coach D’s voice came again!
Ming card!

Actually, there is no need for Coach D to shout.

Duncan is locking McAway's passing route!
Because only McAway can have an absolute chance.

Garnett, on the other hand, was actually preparing to pass the ball to Pierce.

In the last attack, he will always believe in Paul Pierce!

This is not a rational judgment, but an emotional judgment.

And Coach D's shout made Garnett's wrist tremble!
McAway!
"Coach, thank you. I understand. I can never rely on emotion to play like I did before. Even Paul, the softest part of my heart, can't affect my judgment!"

"Mike!!!"

A shout from Garnett!
Basketball is flying!
McAway is flying too!
Clang!
Buckle!

The lights are red!

55 is better than 55!

The third quarter is over!
The Lakers tied the score at the end of the third quarter!
silence!

A brief silence followed by boiling!
In Popovich's eyes, there was despair!

The scene of the post-match press conference.

Reporters from all over the world were all staring at the smiling man on the stage in stunned silence.

This man is creating classics!
This man, he, is going to be super awesome again! !

Can this game become an eternal classic, can it be awesome again? !
