I'm really a slam dunk

Chapter 81 End the Spurs' 13-game winning streak!

61 is better than 69!

That's the score going into the fourth quarter.

The Nets ultimately did not enter the fourth quarter with a double-digit point difference due to Duch's buzzer-beating three-pointer.

"Good job!"

Bishop Jesses of the Nets praised Ducci, "The point difference is now 8 points, and our pressure is not that great."

Spurs here.

Popovich glanced at the scoreboard and couldn't help shaking his head.Before Dookie hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, he felt that if he entered the fourth quarter with a margin of 11 points, then the game was basically settled.

"That kid... really has two brushes."

Involuntarily, Popovich glanced at Duke.

Then when he looked at the Spurs players, he saw Duncan breathing heavily, and Ginobili was also panting.

"Duncan, Gino, are you all right?"

Popovich asked with a little worry.

"I—I'm fine."

"I'm fine."

Demon Sword Ginobili heard Duncan's answer, and he followed up to show that he could keep up physically.

Ginobili looked at Du Qi on the Nets side. Just now Du Qi turned around and easily passed him, which made him a little upset.

I looked back and thought about it.

One's own carelessness is one reason.

But what's more, that kid's dribbling ability is no longer as rookie as before.

"He's grown."

Ginobili acknowledged this fact.

Soon, the fourth quarter begins.

On the Nets side, the starting center Jason Collins after the break will be sent to the field, as well as the starting Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson, Kidd and Duke.

"The Nets have sent all the main players up, and this is going to be a desperate fight."

"I see."

On the Spurs side, the starting lineup was also replaced.

When the Spurs' main force came on the field, Popovich couldn't help frowning.

He always has a bad feeling.

What it was, he couldn't say.

quickly.

His hunch was confirmed.

After playing for 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, Tim Duncan's shooting percentage dropped sharply, and he frequently missed rebounds.

"Vince Carter slapped himself in the face after being scolded—this self-abuse really worked. He actually grabbed 3 rebounds."

"—I'm afraid this is just one of the reasons."

"Then why?"

"Look at Stone Buddha Duncan is already tired."

Amid the discussion among the fans, Popovich understood the source of his bad premonition.

That is, their leading star Duncan is already very tired.

'The Nets have Richard Jefferson, an excellent forward, and Vince Carter, who has superb jumping ability.

On the outside, there is Kidd, a point guard with very good organizational skills.

in addition……'

Popovich looked at Du Qi,
"That No. [-], Gino couldn't guard against him alone, and Gino also became tired. '

Analysis here.

A trace of sadness appeared on Popovich's face.

The Nets' lineup does have loopholes, but their lineup is very strong in some aspects.

Richard Jefferson, Vince Carter and Kidd are like a troika, holding Duncan back.

This made Duncan very tired.

Especially after Vince Carter recovered, this combination made Duncan even more unbearable.

There is also the outside line No. [-] who has always been active and has always been a hidden danger. He is also very tired for Yaodao to defend against.

thought here.

Popovich immediately reached out and called for a timeout.

"Duncan, you rest."

Popovich arranged for the substitute center to come on.

Then Popovich looked at Yaodao again, "Gino, to be honest, do you need to come down and rest?"

"I... I don't need it!"

"Don't be brave. I still need you to cooperate with Duncan at the critical moment."

"I... I'd better take a rest for a while."

"—"

Popovich choked.

It feels bad.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and replace Yaodao with a substitute player.Then he looked at point guard Tony Parker and said, "Parker, the next step will depend on your organizational skills. You have to work hard."

Pause back to play.

Seeing that the Spurs replaced their head star Duncan to rest, the fans were in an uproar.

For the Nets, coaches Jesses and Painter both had smiles on their faces.

Painter said:

"That's a good sign for us."

"Hahaha! We hope to win."

Just after entering the fourth quarter, the Nets scored a rebound due to Carter's explosion.Give it to Kidd.

Kidd dribbled the ball quickly across half court and handed it to Dookie on the outside.

Without the defense of Yaodao, the Spurs role players who came up to defend Du Qi are much easier to deal with.

Duke stepped back beyond the three-point line and jumped back for a three-pointer.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

"Hahaha, I'm starting his performance!"

When Duch is being targeted, Kidd will flexibly hand the ball to the inside.Jade Jefferson and Vince Carter scored very easily without the threat of Duncan.

They also played very well together.

At the 9th minute of the fourth quarter.

The Nets have unknowingly caught up with the Spurs in points, and even surpassed the Spurs by 4 points!
78 is better than 74!

In the 6 minutes when Duncan and Yaodao were away, the Nets scored 17 points!Scoring momentum is extremely fierce.

Among them, Jefferson contributed 6 points and Carter contributed 4 points, but almost all the rebounds were contracted by Carter.

Kidd made one of two shots from the outside and scored 2 points. Jason Collins scored 2 points for a dunk under the basket.

Du Qi made 2 of 3 three-pointers from the outside and scored [-] points.

At this time.

The Nets had the ball, and just after halftime, Kidd saw Du Qi running out of the open space.Give the ball decisively.

snap
Duke catches the ball, and because he's on the edge of the three-point line, he steps right back outside the three-point line.

"Stop him!"

"Don't let him shoot!"

Seeing this scene, Popovich roared from the sidelines.The biggest threat from the perimeter is Du Qi, a three-point shooter.

The Spurs' star point guard Tony Parker and the backup shooting guard came to double-team Duch.

Du Qi is a fadeaway jumper, and under their double-team, he barely makes a shot.

After the ball crossed a beautiful arc above the court, it slammed on the iron ring inside the basket with a bang, and it hit relatively low, so the basketball quickly smashed into the basket.

wow~~
There was a commotion in the audience.

Dookie fans stood up from their seats, cheered and called Dookie.

81 is better than 74!

The Nets lead by 7 points!
"pause!"

Popovich called a timeout.

"Duncan, Gino, I know you haven't rested enough, but we can't lose anymore."

Popovich came to Duncan and Yaodao and said, "You two come on stage now."

Pick up the tactical board and point the country on the tactical board.

Get back on the field soon.

On the Spurs side, because captain Duncan played, the expressions of the Spurs players became excited and different.

Demon Sword Manu Ginobili could not sit on the bench for a long time. Now that he is on the court, he is staring at Du Qi, and he will not let Du Qi score easily again.

"Everyone, there are still 3 minutes in the game. We still have a chance!"

Duncan cheered on the Spurs teammates, "Our Spurs are the strongest!"

"We are the strongest!"

"We will not lose!"

At this time, the morale of the players is very important.

Keep playing.

When the home fans expected Tim Duncan to lead the Spurs to score first after the break,
Spurs point guard Tony Parker gave the ball to Yaodao.

Boom!

Yaodao dribbled against Du Qi, but Du Qi still didn't lower his center of gravity much.

But the demon knife did not launch an attack.Instead, he confronted Duke on the outside.Dribble the ball with a bang and no rush.

"What does he want to do?"

Du Qi squinted his eyes and put a question mark in his heart.

Bang bang bang!
And at this moment, Ginobili dribbled faster.Dookie spread his arms and made a defensive gesture, but the real focus was on preventing him from making a quick drive.

really.

Yaodao dribbled forward and Du Qi quickly retreated.Du Qi did this to make up for his slow speed.

Make preparations in advance, and when Yaodao breaks through, it is good to block behind him.

Seeing that Du Qi started to move, Ginobili suddenly stopped and shook Du Qi.Du Qi's expression changed, knowing that things were going to go bad.

really.

Boom!

After Yaodao stopped abruptly and shook him away, he dribbled the ball under his crotch and retreated beyond the three-point line.

"What?!" Du Qi frowned.

Yaodao has already jumped up, aiming, kicking, and shooting just like Du Qi.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

wow~~
The audience set off a wave of climax, frying pan:

"Omega! Watching Ginobili play is simply a pleasure!"

"He also hit a three-pointer!"

"It's really appropriate to call him 'Demon Sword', the sharp knife is out of its sheath, killing the opponent by surprise!"

Looking at the scoreboard, the Spurs added three points.Demon Sword Ginobili looked at Du Qi arrogantly:

"Not only are you good at dribbling, but you also suck at defense."

Du Qi's eyes turned cold.

As a time traveler, this kind of situation of being won by someone is not enough to break his mature mentality.

Then Du Qi spoke:

"Then just wait and see,"

Nothing radical, just a cold statement.

Hearing this, Ginobili the Demon Sword felt a sense of calmness and prestige.

This feeling made him uncomfortable.

"Du, don't worry about it."

When Kidd went to catch the ball, he walked up to Duke to comfort him.

Duke nodded.

But the blood in his body was already heating up.

MMP, who do you look down on?

Kidd received the ball and soon passed the half court.At this time, he saw Du Qi reaching out to him for the ball.

"Du, don't worry—"

Kidd glanced at Du Qi. It seemed that Du Qi was stimulated and wanted the ball in such a hurry.

Seeing that Kidd didn't give the ball, Du Qi actively moved up.

This made Ginobili a little depressed.

Because his physical strength can no longer support him to run like this.

And such a hesitation.

Ducci ran out of space at a [-]-degree angle on the left.Kidd has a sharp eye and quick hands, and he throws a long pass.

With a snap, Du Qi jumped up and hooked the ball with his right hand into his hand.

Ginobili quickly stepped forward to defend.

Du Qi has not moved after receiving the ball, and he is not ready to move until Ginobili comes to him.

"Huh? What does he mean?"

"Deliberately wait for the demon knife to defend himself before he launches an attack."

"Is this going to be performed with a demon knife?"

Yaodao stared at Du Qi covetously, and he also felt that Du Qi was waiting for him on purpose.

Du Qi held the ball in both hands, raised it up, and raised it to the right to move the ball.The demon knife then leaned to the right.

Dookie quickly collected the ball, and Bang Bang broke through to his left side.

"What a lame feint."

Yaodao disdains.

Responding quickly to keep up with Du Qi's breakthrough, at the same time thinking about taking the opportunity to steal the ball.

Bang bang bang!
Dookie dribbles faster.

Seeing that Du Qi was going to cross dribble, Yaodao lowered his body's center of gravity, and made a decisive shot with his right hand, trying to steal the ball when Du Qi crossed the dribble.

but.

Sudden.

Dookie's cross dribble turned directly into a crotch dribble, and his right hand flew into the air.

next second.

After Du Qi dribbled the ball from his right hand to his left hand, he dribbled the ball behind his back again, and then directed the ball back to his right hand, rushing directly to the right side of Yaodao.

This movement, so smooth and flowing, made Yaodao stunned.

Without time to think about it, he subconsciously blocked Du Qi's dribble to the right.

Du Qi suddenly stopped suddenly.

Ginobili's body has been driven by Du Qi, and he has to stop suddenly under inertia, but his body suddenly lost his balance.

With a plop, he was shaken to the ground by Du Qi.

Boom!

Du Qi then retreated and collected the ball immediately.

Because at this time, the Spurs point guard Tony Parker came forward to make up the defense.

While collecting the ball, Du Qi jumped outside the three-point line.

Without time to adjust his body, Du Qi jumped up directly.

Tony Parker jumped up to interfere, but his jumping ability really couldn't be compared with Duke.

Duke jumps high, takes aim, kicks, shoots.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

wow~~
The fans in the audience were shocked.

Du Qi fans went crazy, shouting Du Qi's name.

"Oh NO!"

Popovich found it incredible.Originally, he still had hope for the Demon Sword, but this hope was shattered in an instant!

The score widened to 7 points again!
Ginobili had already stood up from the floor, Du Qi said to him deliberately: "Sorry, I knocked you down."

"you--"

Yaodao almost went berserk.

Nets here.

Painter laughed out loud.Bishop Jesses glanced at him and asked curiously, "Coach Painter, are you happy for Duke?"

"Yeah. This kid's dribbling ability can be regarded as good."

Jesse was taken aback.

After Paynter said this, he realized that just now Du Qi used the demon knife to make a knife, and he swung the demon knife down by dribbling the ball, and then took the opportunity to make a move.

'In terms of my ability to observe players, I'm really not as good as Paynter. ' He sighed in his heart.

At this time, there are 2 minutes and 14 seconds left in the game.
