basketball hero

Chapter 703

Pause back, the game continues.

For the Raptors, the regular season was actually too smooth, which may not be a good thing.In particular, they have won two championships in the past two seasons, and the players are all human. According to the principle of diminishing marginal utility, the more championships there are, the lower the desire for championships.After all, players like Ying Xiong, who are already No. 1 in the league and are still improving themselves, are in the minority after all.For many players, basketball is a profession, a means of earning a living, and it has not risen to the point of giving everything until it becomes an ideal.

The Spurs adjusted very quickly, and the team's tactical quality is also very high.After being beaten by Ying Xiong twice in a row, they played more patiently on the offensive end, constantly looking for good offensive opportunities through active running and skillful conduction of the ball.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two teams still played inextricably.As a result, at the end of halftime, the two teams tied for 2.

At halftime, Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy took off their headphones and started chatting.

"The score in this game is really low enough! If the scoring situation in the second half is still the same, and the score in the whole game does not exceed 90 points, in this era, it is too low!" Mike Breen said.

"Both teams have done a good job defensively, and they are playing seriously. Of course, the touch is really not very good." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Jeff, who do you think will be Toronto's biggest opponent in the West this year?" Mike Breen asked.

"At present, the Golden State Warriors in the West and the San Antonio Spurs today." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"What about the East End?"

"Only the Cleveland Cavaliers have a chance," Jeff Van Gundy said.

"What about the Atlanta Hawks?" Mike Breen continued to ask.

"No accident, they don't have any chance!" Jeff Van Gundy's tone was very firm.

The second half of the game started soon.

Ying Xiong came up with a step-back 3-pointer to open up the situation for the home team.

But Parker quickly responded with an emergency stop jumper!

"Both teams felt good in the second half!" Mike Breen said.

"See if it lasts!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Subsequently, the two teams fell into an anxious confrontation again, and neither could score easily.

"Shouldn't be doing his best!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Well, I agree with this. In the finals, he was not in this kind of game state, that is the real him." Mike Breen nodded and said.

"The scary thing about Ying is that the horrible data in the regular season is not what he achieved at his full strength." Jeff Van Gundy said.

The two teams have been in a stage of anxious confrontation. Until the last 30 seconds of the game, the two teams still tied at 83.

At this time, the two teams each had a short timeout, and the ball was in the hands of the Spurs.

The Spurs have two options, play a quick attack and then defend a wave firmly, so that they can have two offensive opportunities under normal circumstances; another option is to use up 24 seconds and play a wave steadily, even if If you don't enter, you will only have 6 seconds to attack the opponent.

Parker dribbles and kills time at the top of the key.Obviously, they intend to use up the 24 seconds.

Jeremy Lin came up to press, but it didn't work.He didn't dare to go too far, for he was afraid of fouls, and he had to know that both sides had already reached the point where fouls were free throws.

When there were 10 seconds left in the shot clock, Duncan came up to cover Parker.

Parker started, and with the help of Duncan's cover, he took the ball and rushed in.

Although the old sports car is old, the threat of a breakthrough is still not small, and the Raptors can't help but shrink.

At this time, Parker gave the ball to Danny Green on the outside.

Danny Green wobbled and made a 3-point shot...

Under the gaze of [-] fans at the scene, the ball bounced out of the frame...

The hearts of the fans of the home team hung in their throats, and when they saw that the ball was missed, their hearts were temporarily relieved.

But - it's not over yet!
Duncan got stuck, used his long arms, and made a tip-up!
"Good shot! Bang—Tim's ball is too critical!" Mike Breen explained passionately.

With 5.3 seconds left in the game, Duncan made a quasi lore and almost killed the game!

The fans at the scene sighed...

"The pressure is on Toronto!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"See who can be the hero of Toronto? Should it be? Jeremy? DeMar?" Mike Breen explained passionately.

Raptors coach Casey immediately used the last short timeout.Of course he had to use this timeout to arrange the final attack.

The hearts of the fans at the scene once again hung in their throats, and they all focused their attention on the yellow-skinned player wearing the No. 25 jersey of the home team.

"Yes, will you turn into a hero again and save the game?" Many Raptors fans asked silently in their hearts.

——If you don’t know the answer, only the facts can give you the final answer.

A short 20-second timeout came quickly and the game continued.

The fans at the scene have stood up, they are watching this may be the last 5.3 seconds of the game.

The Raptors removed big men like Valanciunas and Amir Johnson. The five players on the field were Yingxiong, Jeremy Lin, Lowry, DeRozan and Terrence Ross.

——This is an all-out lineup, and all five of them can shoot 5-pointers.This forced the Spurs not to dare to attack easily, because in 3 seconds, the ball can be easily poured into the hands of open players.

Jeremy Lin sent the ball out of bounds, and the Spurs' defense was very tight.

The ball was sent out and Lowry caught it.

Lowry and Ying Xiong passed the ball hand in hand, and the ball was in Ying Xiong's hands again.

Ying Xiong received the ball, and the other 4 players pulled away to let him one-on-one.

"Should I come by myself?" Mike Breen explained enthusiastically.

The Spurs did not flank. At this time, they did not dare to give their opponents a 3-pointer. They could only pin their hopes on Leonard, who had been selected to the best defensive team.

Leonard didn't dare to release Yingxiong's 3-pointer, but he was also afraid that if he pushed too hard, his opponent would directly break through to the basket for a layup.Therefore, his position is relatively intermediate, and he hopes to be able to take care of both ends in time.

Ying Xiong slowly advances with the ball, he doesn't seem to plan to attack immediately, he seems to want to completely use up the time.And Leonard didn't dare to make a move. In this place, even if he fouled early, he would send his opponent to the free throw line in vain.And with Yingxiong's free throw percentage, it's no different from sending points.

Moreover, once a foul is committed, the opponent may cause a 3-point shooting foul, and the result will be even more unbearable.

"It doesn't seem to be time for San Antonio!" Mike Breen explained excitedly.

Not much time left, Ying Xiong faced Leonard, directly pulled up, and confidently made a 3-pointer...

The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and under the watchful eyes of everyone in the arena, it made a steady hit!Almost at the same time, the indicator light for the end of the game came on——

"Bang - should kill San Antonio!" Mike Breen cheered passionately.
