I'm really a slam dunk

Chapter 119 Victory or defeat

During the timeout before entering overtime, fans both on the scene and outside were inexplicably excited.

There is a lot of discussion:

"The tiebreaker between the Nets and the Spurs was really tragic!"

"Yes."

"If Duch made that last three-pointer... this game is over. The Nets have won this year's championship for the second consecutive time."

"It's a pity that there is no if..."

at this time.

new York.

At Cam's house, Cam was eating KFC chicken legs and hugging a pretty American girl, watching the NBA live broadcast on TV.

Because it's the timeout before overtime.

His attention was on the pretty girl beside him...

quickly.

After the intervening TV commercials were played, the screen cut back to the scene of the game, and the camera happened to show Dookie on the Nets side.

When Cam saw Du Qi, he said to the beautiful girl beside him, "This Asian handsome boy is my brother!"

"brother?"

"Yes."

"People are divided into groups. They are so handsome. What about you...Are you lying?"

"—"

The corner of Cam's mouth twitched, thinking if he can't chat, don't chat, okay?Everyone can still happily be... boyfriend and girlfriend.

"I see the rhythm of the Nets' loss."

Cam was even more unwilling to hear this, "Bah bah bah! Can you stop cursing the Nets? I bet all my money on picking up girls on the Nets to win."

"Picking up girls capital?"

"Uh... where were we talking just now?"

wow——

KFC's chicken leg was thrown onto Cam's face by this pretty girl, "You scum!

Emotional liar! "

"..."

On the day of the finals, there were thousands of betting fans like Cam.

and so.

When the Nets VS Spurs game entered overtime, it also touched the hearts of gambling fans!
back to the scene.

"Overtime is about to start, everyone, we have fought hard all the way here, and the ultimate goal is to compete for the championship! Come on everyone!"

Nets bishop Jesses cheered everyone on.

Then look at Duke.

"Du, it's up to you for the next five minutes. The Spurs' demon swords are already showing signs of fatigue."

"Understood, Coach!"

soon.

Overtime begins.

Both the Nets and the Spurs have deployed their main lineups.

The ball was initially owned by the Spurs. Tony Parker dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to the Spurs' inside line.

Shi Fu Duncan played steadily and unpretentiously, but he could always score.

Second minute of extra time.

The Spurs opened up the score by 4 points!
"Coach Paynter, should we call a timeout?" Jesses frowned and was a little undecided, so he asked Paynter.

There are three 3-second timeouts available for each overtime period.

"I don't think it's necessary."

Paynter replied, “There is no problem with our tactics, now it’s up to us to see how Duch, Carter, and Kidd perform.

Furthermore,
Calling a timeout is actually helping the Spurs get a rest time.

The Spurs are tired now, calling a timeout is not good for us. "

The players of the Nets, such as Kidd, are also very tired, but Du Qi is an outlier, and he does not seem to be tired at all.

'But after using the [Bionic Card], the effect of that stimulating state has disappeared.The effect of this [Bionic Card] is not as good as adding some effects. '

'Fortunately, the Skyhook skill can still be used.It seems that overtime is also counted as one game, and skyhook skills can continue to be used. '

Thinking of this, Du Qi saw Kidd looking towards him.

Boom!

At this time, Kidd was dribbling the ball. It was obvious that Kidd wanted to pass the ball to himself.

Du Qi didn't say anything and just started running.

"hateful!"

Yaodao was tired, seeing Du Qi running around again made him very painful, and couldn't help but talk trash.

Du Qi paid no attention to him. He ran directly from the right wing to the left wing from a position of [-] degrees. When he passed by Kidd, he stretched out his hand.

Tony Parker even spread his arms to prevent Kidd from passing the ball.

Kidd feinted twice and found the opportunity.

snap
Duke catches the ball, bangs, dribbles to the left wing, and Kidd blocks Duch as Tony Parker comes to cover.

Duke jumped up,

Ginobili followed him and jumped up to interfere with the block, but Du Qi jumped so high that he couldn't reach Du Qi's ball at all.

Duke takes aim, kicks, shoots,

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

88 is better than 87!

wow~~
The fans, who were already in high spirits, were full of enthusiasm and cheered because of Du Qi's three-pointer.

Many Spurs fans are starting to become fans of Duch.

"This Asian No. [-] is really amazing!"

"Without his outside three-pointers, the Nets would have lost long ago. The Nets' inside line is simply too bad to watch!"

"Yes."

at this time.

Popovich called a timeout.

"The Spurs called a timeout so quickly."

"It is estimated that there is some new strategy to be deployed."

Pause back.

Fans discovered that Yaodao had been replaced, and even the Spurs' star point guard Tony Parker was replaced.

Come up two role players,

"At a time like this, Coach Popovich really dares to change."

Popovich's substitution surprised everyone.

But it is also almost understandable Popovich's purpose.

Yaodao and Tony Parker have been tortured by Du Qi on the outside, and they are both tired.

Such a substitution.

The Spurs' two new role players have a lot of energy and a solid defense.Whether it is against Kidd or Du Qi, the Nets' outside line has been restricted.

The 4th minute of extra time!
The Spurs have once again led the Nets by 5 points!
"Dangerous!"

"The ace of the Nets, Du, was restricted on the perimeter. The Nets' scoring slowed down, and the Spurs launched a massacre inside. Vince Carter and Nenad Kostic simply couldn't stand it."

Du Qi glanced at the score board with a stern expression.

5 point short!
1 minutes left!
I was targeted by the Spurs again...

Duke has a migraine!
Thinking quickly about how to respond.

The "bottom cards" have been used up, and now only the magic skill of the sky hook is added... and the magic skill of the sky hook cannot exert its power 100%.

Thinking of this,

Du Qi ran to the inside.

"Duta ran inside!?"

Kidd dribbled the ball and was a little surprised to see this scene.

at this time.

Dookie signaled to Kidd inside, let Kidd throw.At the same time, in order to attract the two outside role players of the Spurs, he moved very aggressively.

From left wing to right wing, inside to outside, then inside again.

Kidd made room.

Boom!

Kidd dribbles beyond the three-point line, he wants to make a big shot, a three-pointer!

"No one is watching Kidd!"

But Kidd's three-point shooting rate is far inferior to that of Duch. The ball missed and there was a bang, forming a rebound.

Du Qi rushed inside and wanted to jump up to grab this rebound.

But Tim Duncan, who had already guarded against Du Qi, directly blocked Du Qi.

Duke couldn't jump up.

Watch as Vince Carter and opposing center Nazr Mohamed jump up for the rebound.

Snapped!
Carter's excellent jumping ability, take off this rebound!
"Well done! Carter!"

Du Qi did not hesitate to praise.

Carter grabbed the rebound and wanted to jump for a second dunk.But Duncan rushed forward directly.

Carter didn't hesitate, and split the ball to Richard Jefferson who ran to the outside.

"what?!"

This goal was a wonderful pass, which was beyond the expectations of all Spurs players.

Jefferson received the ball and retreated directly beyond the three-point line.

He had the same idea as Kidd, since Du Qi ran to the inside, he was not afraid that the inside would not have a chance.

So Jefferson jumps up, takes aim, kicks, shoots.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

wow~~~
The whole place is boiling!

"The cooperation of the Nets is very good!"

"It's still two points away!"

"The Nets still have a chance!"

At this time, Bishop Jesses called a timeout.

Calling the Nets back to his side, he said:
"The next step is the Spurs' possession of the ball. Everyone is strictly guarding against this ball. Mark the whole court!"

Pause back.

Ducci and the fans saw it.

"Demon Knife and Tony Parker are on the field. Looks like the Spurs are going to have a showdown."

and!

After the demon knife came up, it was not to be responsible for facing Du Qi.Du Qi was replaced by Robert Horry, a forward.

Ginobili passed the ball to Tony Parker outside the backcourt, and Kidd rushed to defend it.

"Mark the whole court!"

"The Nets are also fighting hard!"

Kidd's defense is in place, so that Tony - Parker progress very slowly.

"Parker, don't hold the ball for so long!"

Popovich shouted loudly from the sidelines that the attack time is only 24 seconds, which cannot be consumed.

Huh!
After Tony Parker faced Kidd for 7 seconds, he had to take the ball out and gave it to the Yaodao who came over to meet him.

Du Qi is responsible for defending the Demon Sword.

At this time, the Yaodao hadn't passed halfway, and Du Qi approached the Yaodao.But not blindly close.

Du Qi is very aware of his shortcomings. In terms of dribbling speed and breakthrough ability, he is not as good as Yaodao, and getting close to Yaodao is not a good thing.

Du Qi didn't come close, and Ginobili quickly dribbled the ball across the half court.

Du Qi lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms.

Unprecedented concentration.

It's a different story after halftime of the demon sword.

First of all, he might shoot threes!Du Qi wants to guard against him.

Secondly, he might break through. Du Qi knew that it would not be easy to defend against the demon sword, but he still had to defend hard when he should and could not let him break through easily.

Just when Du Qi was thinking like this,
Yaodao made a pass from the right and gave the ball to Tony Parker, who had already moved halfway through.

Then he moved up.

'It turned out to be running! '

Du Qi understood.

Quickly followed Ginobili.

Kidd then defended Tony Parker, who went left and right, feinted past Kidd, and made a mid-range shot.

boom!
Smash the iron!

"Grab the basketball!"

"quick!"

Because it was a backcourt rebound, the Nets backup center Nenad Kostic stuck in place very well.

But the opponent's center Nazr Mohammed moved sideways, and the experienced player got stuck back.

This surprised Krstic a little.

Huh!
Huh!
Both of their centers jumped up at the same time.Krstic's eyes were burning. Now that the Nets are 2 points behind, if they can't grab a rebound for the Nets, the consequences will be disastrous!
'I'm going to grab this rebound! '

Kostic's eyes burned.

Nazr did not give in at all, his momentum was astonishing.

Snapped!
Nenad Kostic and Nazr Mohamed touch each other and rebound simultaneously.

at the same time.

Boom!
Whether it was intentional or not, Nazr Mohammad hit Nenad Kostic with his left elbow on the brow of his right eye.

The latter grinned his teeth in pain and gasped for air, his right eye suddenly turned black, and his vision became blurred.

'I don't want to lose! '

This is the last belief that supports the Nets center Nenad Krstic.

He felt a hot and humid liquid flow down from the brow of his right eye, flowed down the corner of the eye, and quickly slid to the corner of the mouth, and a fishy smell penetrated into the tip of his nose.

It appeared to be bleeding.

Krstic aroused a brute force, and with a snap, he snatched the ball from the Spurs center abruptly.

With blurred vision, he saw Carter by his side, and he handed the ball to Carter almost hand-to-hand.

Seeing this scene, the referee on the side hesitated for a while, but finally did not blow his whistle.

This kind of collision is caused by two people jumping up and colliding reasonably. It is not easy to determine whether there is a foul or not.

wow~~
At the same time, there was an uproar at the scene.

"The center of the Nets is so hard!"

"His right eye seems to be injured, is there blood coming out?"

At this time, Richard Jefferson even shouted to the referee: "Timeout! One of our players is injured!"

At this time, the referee could clearly see that there was blood flowing down the Nets center's face.

Immediately blow the whistle.

Enter pause.

"Kostich, how's your right eye?"

"It didn't hit the eyeball, but it's okay... I just can't open my eyes now, and my vision is very blurry!"

Jesses immediately let Kostic off the field.

Winning or losing is important, but the physical injuries of players are more important.

With Nenad Krstic off the court, the Nets brought in a backup power forward.

"Kostich, you did a great job.

You take a good rest, let the team doctor deal with it for you, and then leave it to your teammates. "

Jesse comforted.

Nenad Kostic nodded, and finally said:

"Please everyone, everyone must win!"

Du Qi and others were slightly moved.

……

Soon, the two sides returned to the field and continued the game.

"The Nets are miserable, there are no centers available!"

Seeing the Nets' lineup at this time, many fans felt distressed.

Because during the timeout just now, the Nets had the ball.

and so.

Duch came to the backcourt and served to Kidd.

When Kidd received the ball, he was marked by the Spurs' Tony Parker.At this juncture, the Spurs also adopted a full-court marking tactic.

"Kidd, give it to me!"

When Dookie ran upfield, he reached out to Kidd for the ball.Kidd collects the ball and jumps up a high toss, passing the ball to Duke.

Boom!

After Du Qi got the ball, he dribbled it to the frontcourt while watching the remaining time of the game.

"There are 20 seconds left."

Last attack.

Bang bang bang!
Dookie speeds up the dribble, and Robert Horry comes up on defense.Ginobili, the demon sword, also came up to help defend.

And the demon knife said to Robert Horry:
"Now I'll defend you first, and then I'll switch to you after half-time."

Robert Horry immediately ran away and handed Du Qi to the Demon Sword.

Substitutions, this is a tactic Popovich often adopts.

When Yaodao thought he could defend Du Qi well, he found that Du Qi's ball-handling ability had far exceeded his cognition level of Du Qi.

Boom!

Du Qi made a big turn to the right, broke through Yaodao from the right side of Yaodao, and took the ball across the half court.

Bang bang bang!
Duke speeds up the dribble.

"Robert, stop him from beyond the three-point line!"

"Don't let him shoot a three-pointer!"

Not only Duncan yelled on the court, but coach Popovich also yelled off the court.

Emotional tension to the extreme!
Simultaneously.

Demon Sword Ginobili stared at Du Qi from behind.

Du Qi's idea is very decisive.

At this time, the only way to decide life and death is to shoot a three-pointer.

If you lose, you'll just go to work, if you win, you'll be tender... Ahh!If you win, you are free and happy!

With a snap, Dookie received the ball at a thirty-degree angle on the right wing, jumped up, and aimed at the basket.

Simultaneously.

Robert Horry jumped up.

Dookie saw Robert Horry jumping high and coming very close, so he leaned back to avoid him.

at this time,
The demon knife jumped up.

Jumping up from Du Qi's left side to interfere with the block, Du Qi looked solemn, protected the ball, and then threw the ball with a snap.

"Du he made a three-pointer!"

"But don't go in!"

At this time, the entire arena seemed to be quiet for a moment.

The Spurs players and coach Popovich looked rigid, and some mouths opened into an "O" shape, waiting for the referee for Du Qi's ball.

There was light in Dookie's eyes.

He felt quite comfortable throwing the ball.

Not surprisingly, this ball should be there.

After watching the basketball draw a beautiful arc over the court,
Boom!
The ball missed and hit the outside of the hoop to form a rebound.

"what?!"

Duke's expression changed.

Not only Ducci, the expressions of the Nets players also changed drastically.If this goal is not scored, it means that the game will end in defeat.

Tim Duncan jumped up immediately and grabbed the rebound.

As soon as I dribbled the ball twice, I heard the referee beep, and the game time was over.

99 is better than 97!

The Spurs won the Nets with a 2-point lead and won the championship in the 04-05 season!
Du Qi was a little disappointed.

The players of the Nets also became depressed.

"we won!"

Robert Horry and Yao Dao, who were staying next to Du Qi, started cheering.Yaodao looked even more triumphant, looking at Du Qi with the eyes of a winner.

Duke glanced at him.

did not speak.

To lose is to lose.

At the same time, he saw that Ginobili's right hand was bleeding.

"It turns out you just touched the ball!" Du Qi said while looking at Yaodao's bleeding right hand.

Seeing that Du Qi had discovered the demon sword, he stopped hiding it and raised his bloody right hand. He suddenly saw that the nail of the middle finger of his right hand had been split, and the blood flowed down the nail and into the gap between the fingers.
At this time, Yaodao finally had an unnatural expression because of pain, and said to Du Qi:
"As long as it can disturb you, I'm still willing to shed some blood."

Du Qi ignored him.

Turn away.

here.

The championship battle came to an end. Although Du Qi was a little disappointed, he didn't care too much.

There are many reasons for the Nets' loss.

It's not something he can control alone.

The only thing he can do is try his best to fight for it.

……

competition is over.

Because it is the home court of the Spurs, there are naturally many fans cheering for the Spurs.

There are also many fans who feel sorry for the Nets:
"It's a pity, the Nets' inside line is too weak!"

"Both of the Nets' centers rested in the championship game, which is quite a feat!"

"That's right. With a lineup like the Nets, they can play like this and almost kill the Spurs. The performance is already very good!"

"Especially their ace Du, without him, this championship battle would have ended long ago."

"..."

Du Qi fans, especially the female fans, also shouted loudly:

"Du, we love you forever!"

"Du, we love you forever!"

Listening to these sounds, Du Qi was still very useful.

He looked up, the disappointment on his face swept away, looked at the fans around the arena, and then he blew them a kiss.

"Ahhh, Du is so handsome!"

"It's so handsome!"

Seeing this scene, the Spurs players were a little jealous of Duke.

"After losing the game, there are still so many nympho fans confessing their love!"

"It's really noisy!"

"Why the hell do I feel like Dookie won the championship??"

"Calm down, calm down, who told someone to be more handsome than you?"

"you--"

Just when Du Qi followed his teammates back to the sidelines of the Nets,
【Ding!System random task - defeat the old enemy Spurs, revenge! 】

Uh... It really is a vengeful system!

quickly.

The game data is out.

这场比赛，杜奇出战41分钟（其中包含5分钟的加时赛），拿下33分6篮板2助攻，三分球15投7中。

Still did not break through the 40-point mark.

When the Spurs players were being frantically interviewed by the media and preparing to accept the championship trophy, Du Qi had lost interest and left the player channel first.

……

the next day.

It was December 6th.

nets club,
Inside the office.

Nets manager Thomas was questioning the coaching staff such as Bishop Jesses and Assistant Painter:
"It's really disappointing that the Nets failed to win the championship this year! What's the reason?"

"The outside world is saying that there is a problem with our lineup, Jie Shuai, do we have no inside center available?"

"If it is, then find a way to select a center from this year's NBA draft. Or trade a heavyweight center after the player market opens!"

After listening to the manager's slap in the face,
Bishop Jesses had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply:

"Manager, our squad this year is really not ideal.

The inside lineup is undoubtedly the weakest.

Once our starting center is injured, there is basically no center available.Right now our starting center Jason Collins is still in the hospital with a back injury.

In addition, our backup center Nenad Kostic was hit on the eyebrow bone and bruised in the seventh game of the championship game.

but.

After my observation of Kostic, he has made great progress.

of course.

Our next task is to focus on the weakness of the internal line.

but.

Our Nets' record this year is pretty good, but we definitely won't be able to get a good pick in the draft. If we want to select a satisfactory center in the NBA draft, it probably won't be our turn. "

Thomas continued dissatisfied:
"Then find it from the free agent market! If it doesn't work, just pay a big price and trade it from another team!"
