hall of fame small forward

Chapter 218 The key 24 minutes
Many people wondered how the bite mark on the neck of the chinchilla came from. From the shape of the mouth, it was definitely a girl. Could it be the blonde girl he brought last time?
However, such small details were quickly ignored, because the next match was the most important battle of Tianwangshan, and whoever won would win the match point. Even before the start of this round of the series, many Everyone expected that this would be a close battle between dragon and tiger, but no one expected that the two sides would be so anxious.

In the first quarter, Totoro showed its incomparable offensive talent, with emergency stop jumpers, pull-up three-pointers, fadeaway shots, breakthrough layups, hook shots, and small throws. Use all the moves that can be used to score. The Spurs have nothing to do with such a crazy Totoro. The players in their lineup are old and young. Kurt Duncan Oberto couldn't keep up with Totoro's speed. Anyway, the Spurs took turns to defend Totoro in the first quarter, but no one had a good effect. Totoro made 10 of 9 shots in the first quarter. Scoring 25 points, he broke his scoring record in a single quarter in the playoffs, and also set a scoring record in a single quarter in his personal career. In the first quarter, Totoro absolutely shined in the audience. The Spurs are not ashamed, who else?

But even though Chinchilla feels so hot, the Rockets still don't lead the Spurs by many points, and even fall behind by 3 points. The reason is that one of the Spurs broke out today.

邓肯至少是联盟历史前五的大前锋，可他在这轮系列赛里并没有什么超巨的表现，四场打下来平均23分12篮板4助攻3盖帽，这个数据虽然说不错，但不足以抵消龙猫三场下来场均28+9+6+3+3给马刺所带来的伤害。

Many people say that Shifo is old. Duncan once said to James in 05 that the future belongs to him, and now it seems that it is time for him to switch eras. But today, Shifo told everyone with the data of the first quarter of 14+7 , His time has not passed.

Since no defensive system can limit Totoro, the Spurs did the opposite today, using offense instead of defense. Duncan called Randolph 4 fouls 2 minutes before the first quarter, and David Lee who came off the bench Although there is no foul, the defensive end is like air. Duncan's idiom "whatever you want" is not enough to describe it.

Except for Duncan, Ginobili and Parker also performed normally. On the Rockets side, because the Totoro stepped up their personal offense, everyone else's touch has dropped, so it is reasonable to lag behind.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Chinchilla strengthened his connection with his teammates without waiting for the coach to order anything. Today he has not rested for a minute, and it is estimated that he played the rhythm of the first half again.

But Duncan, the cornerstone of the Spurs, did not end, and Popovich seemed to be fighting with his back today. This game did not reflect his profound rotation charm at all.

But think about it, if they lose this game, they will go fishing in the summer. At this time, do they still have energy for the next season?
In this quarter, Shifo once again returned to the light, as if time had turned back to himself 5 years ago. The offense was extremely resolute and the defense was also very tough. Totoro was thrown by him in a way that was almost pulled by him for a layup. On the floor, although Duncan paid a technical foul, the number of times that Totoro entered the penalty area was significantly less.

Logically speaking, Chinchilla is not the one who suffers and does not gnaw, but facing Duncan's malicious foul this time, Chinchilla really doesn't have much intention of retaliating against the opponent. Something is not quite right, the murderous look seems to be eating him, people often say that the contrast is cute, Shi Buddha is also in such a state today, usually looks honest, but once he gets angry, let those who usually adapt to him Honest people can't stand it.

But today, co-author Totoro feels good. Even if he doesn't go inside and wreak havoc, his mid-range and long-range shooting percentage is high enough. Before the end of the quarter, they led the Spurs by 40 points. If it weren't for the Argentine Yaodao's ultra-long three-pointer in the backcourt in the last attack, the Spurs might have fallen behind by double digits.

Although Shi Fu is powerful, his scoring is also two points and two points. When Totoro's three-point shooting rate catches up with Duncan's two-point shooting rate, the Spurs' scoring speed will definitely not be able to catch up with the Rockets. The reason why the Warriors can make small ball tactics popular in the league is that Curry Thompson and Iguodala Green can all shoot three-pointers.

"His three-pointers cannot be kept accurate. In the second half, we will continue to work hard and continue to defend the penalty area. The victory must belong to us!"

During the intermission, Popovich roared with his players in the away locker room. The importance of the Tianwangshan battle is self-evident. Whoever wins this game is equal to half a foot into the Western Conference Finals.

"We continued to attack in the second half, everybody ran for me, every backcourt rebound and frontcourt rebound gave me to fight, every pass gave me to try to steal, you guys are a bunch of guys in their 20s, And they are a group of 30-year-old old men, since we are young, we will use our physical strength to kill them, persevere, the victory must be ours!"

Coincidentally, in the locker room of the Rockets, Adelman also began to yell despite his gentle appearance. If the advantage of the Spurs is experience, then the advantage of the Rockets is youth, and the game has reached the fifth game. The physical strength of the Spurs players has encountered problems. In the last game, many veterans went to pump the stagnant water. Now they are almost at the end of their rope. If the Rockets overwhelm the Spurs, the Spurs will fall into the abyss, but in turn, if the Spurs survive Come over, then they will turn over and push the Rockets off the cliff with a lot of confidence, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The next two quarters will be the most critical 24 minutes of this round of the Western Conference semifinals.
