Chapter 397

Bruce Bowen looked at Chen Mo eager to try, as if he was still thinking about how to make a move.

At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly raised his hand and shook his big elbow, which made Bruce Bowen shudder.

After serious thought for a moment, he resolutely gave up.

It was really the livid purple all over his body that reminded him that those big elbows were not vegetarian.

After the third quarter, both Pat Riley and Popovich chose a tactic together.

The main force!

At such a critical moment, the role of the main lineup is too great, and no one wants to give up.

The two sides come and go, the score is constantly changing, and the overall situation is very anxious.

Seeing the time go by a little bit, 2 minutes and 21 seconds, this is the last time before the end of the game.

94:89
This is the score of the two sides. The Heat still lead by 5 points, but the situation is not safe.

No, Ginobili, who had just rested for 2 minutes, came back and immediately broke through and scored a layup.

94:91
5 points become 3 points, that is, the gap of two goals, or even one goal.

Not to be outdone, Chen Mo used the rhythm change to hit Robert Holly, and used the speed to create a foul.

Foul free throws, this is the easiest way to score at this stage, and it is also the most stable.

Chen Mo naturally had to grasp it carefully, first took a deep breath to relieve his fatigue, and then made a move.

Two free throws were made, and the score opened up again.

The offensive power returned to the Spurs, and at this time, there were less than 2 minutes left in the game.

To be on the safe side, the Spurs' offense was naturally handed over to Duncan.

At this time, the Heat did not dare to double-team easily.

At the critical moment, if you really want to double-team and cause a vacancy, taking it is the most worthwhile loss.

Although there was no direct double-teaming, the defense must be indispensable. Chen Mo and Antoine Walker both made moves, mainly for interference.

Haslem single-handedly defends Duncan. To be honest, it must be bragging to say that there is no pressure.

It's just that after Duncan got the ball, he didn't act immediately, but took a breath first.

Up to now, Duncan has played more than 42 minutes, and there is almost no rest in the second half.

There is no way, the Heat have always been in the lead, and the Spurs want to chase points, so Duncan can't end.

Looking at Duncan's appearance, everyone knew that he was very tired.

To be honest, Popovich regretted it a bit, why didn't Duncan take more rest?
No way, if Duncan hadn't been leading the team to chase points, maybe it wouldn't be only five points away now.

"Tim, it's up to you!" Popovich prayed silently.

Duncan gritted his teeth, first made a feint in the face of Haslem, and then chose to break through.

It's home again, and with his status, the referee must take care of him to some extent.

In other words, as long as there is a breakthrough and physical contact, there is a better chance of getting a free throw.

Just like Chen Mo just now, he actually did the same.

What's more, Duncan at this time was also a little worried about missing the shot, because he was really tired after all.

I don't know if it's not fast enough, Haslem blocked it at the first time, and didn't let Duncan complete the breakthrough.

This kind of physical contact is an excellent defense, not a foul.

Duncan also knew that the situation was not good. At this time, there was no time to delay.

What's more, Chen Mo, as well as other Heat players are all shrinking quickly, ready to double-team at any time.

Relying on his physical advantage, Duncan froze for a chance to make a shot and chose to make a direct shot.

However, when the body is already very tired, it is easy to cause muscle injury by exerting force.

Sure enough, at the moment of the shot, there was a clear pain in the sole of the foot.

Not a muscle strain, but pain in the bottom of the foot.

Another shot from fatigue, and affected by the pain in the soles of the feet, this time the shot was naturally wide.

Antoine Walker protected the rebound, and Chen Mo directly launched a fast break after receiving the ball.

Facing the defense of Bruce Bowen and Ginobili, Chen Mo made a strong one-for-two and scored a layup.

98:91
At this time, Duncan tried to get up from the ground, but after the shot, he fell down.

As for Popovich, he stood on the sidelines and roared, yelling and complaining, wanting to foul.

The referee glanced at Popovich helplessly: Old guy, you are too much.

Duncan's shot just now, because it was squeezed out of space, Haslem had no time to block it.

What he did was very simple, that is, he stood up straight, raised his hands high, and interfered as much as possible.

In other words, Haslem had physical contact with Duncan, but it was before the shot.

When Duncan shot, the two had no physical contact at all, and Duncan fell down purely by himself.

He knew exactly what was going on: plantar fasciitis!

In fact, since last year, Duncan has been more or less affected by this injury.

It's just that it's not particularly serious, and the Spurs and Duncan don't particularly care about it.

It's a pity that an injury like plantar fasciitis requires a lot of rest.

In the NBA, this is impossible. Duncan plays about 100 games a season, not much more.

This is not a normal training, and he is not a player who likes to be lazy in training.

After a long game, especially this round of the series is particularly difficult, I actually got a little sick.

The same is true for the finals in the original time and space. The Spurs would have had a chance to end the battle in six games.

In the end, they won the championship by virtue of the tie-break, precisely because Duncan played a little abnormally in the sixth game.

It is because of the effects of plantar fasciitis.

That is to say, starting from next season, Popovich dare not use Duncan in this way, but strictly protects it.

It's hard to choose a champion, and it's a historical champion, so what if it doesn't take 20 years?
Duncan tried it, and it wasn't too serious, or rather, this situation has continued.

He declined to be substituted by Popovich.

Sure enough, on the next attack, Duncan received a pass from Ginobili and immediately responded.

98:93
Unfortunately, time was running out, and the Spurs had to resort to foul tactics.

And Chen Mo's free throw made the Spurs feel desperate.

On the defensive end, the Heat also didn't make a single mistake, and didn't even give a three-pointer a chance.

Especially Robert Hawley, under Chen Mo's reminder, was closely watched by Antoine Walker.

102:97
In the end, the Heat still won the battle of Tianwangshan.

"Won!"

Although it was not the final battle, but only the fifth match, Chen Mo was still a little excited.

Can you not be excited?
The championship is close at hand.

Won the battle of Tianwangshan, that is to say, the Heat got the match point.

And then, with the remaining two games in Miami, the Heat have a huge advantage.

Of course, it was still early to cheer and celebrate, and the last game was not so easy to win.

The Spurs are bound to refuse to give up, and no one knows what kind of strength they will unleash in desperation.
