NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

The goal was valid! The slow-motion shot was undisputed.

The Spurs' protest was rejected, and Popovich was so angry that he cursed the Nets' home camera.

When he kicked the innocent beverage bucket again with his foot,

Muhammad quietly moved the bucket back, which made Popovich kick in vain.

As the guardian of the water dispenser, he felt obliged to protect the safety of the bucket, even if it was the opponent's beverage bucket.

He didn't want the bucket to explode and spread everywhere.

I have to say he is a kind person. This hurt Popovich. He lost his balance due to the missed kick and sat on the floor.

He was as embarrassed as he could be. He climbed up with the help of the assistant coach.

Reporters not far away pressed the shutter to record Popovich's embarrassment.

This also made Popovich more impatient with nowhere to vent his emotions. He couldn't even vent to Muhammad.

He took a few deep breaths and covered his chest with trembling arms.

After the referee finally confirmed that the attack was effective, he reached out and called a timeout.

There were only 31 seconds left in the game. The Spurs still had a lot of things to refine and a lot of cards to play. After all, the leading side had too many options.

Things were far from the worst, but the easiest way to win was gone.

The next safest way was to use up the offensive time and score a goal, so the team would be invincible.

After the timeout, when the players returned to the rest area, Popovich's mentality also adjusted a lot.

No matter how violent his temper is, he would not get angry at the players at this moment.

He still knows when to do something and when not to do it.

Besides, in that round just now, the Spurs' defensive execution was almost perfect.

They almost intercepted the Nets' pass twice in a row, forcing the opponent's offensive time to the last second. He could no longer ask his players to do more.

If it weren't for that damn Chinese player No. 42, the Spurs could celebrate the joy of victory in advance, and the team would also usher in the third championship in the team's history in advance!

The offensive tactics are easy to arrange, especially in the leading stage, mainly arranging the serve and the final shooting options.

More importantly, after the offense, Popovich arranged the defensive handling very carefully, whether it was in or not, and he must make full use of the last timeout!

In the Nets rest area, Frank was trying to repeatedly emphasize the defensive focus and the next attack to the players.

While not committing fouls, the players had to ensure that the opponent could not score, especially the three-pointer, which was the focus of the defensive focus.

Roy was panting beside him, wiping his sweat-soaked hair with a towel.

He was lucky that the ball just went in. It was not because he had no confidence in the shot, but because the time for the attack was completely stuck at less than 0.1 seconds.

It seemed to be destined. Roy knew it when the basketball was thrown out.

But this was just a node on the road to victory. The next step was to test himself more.

It was too uncomfortable to fall behind and chase points. It was equivalent to the feeling of being suffocated by someone holding your head in water.

Roy felt that he had to hold his fate in his own hands. It was time to end the entire series!

Coach Frank arranged it in detail and emphasized it repeatedly.

It can be seen that this rookie coach is not much better than other players. They are equally nervous and excited.

With not much time left in the timeout, Roy asked all his teammates to stand up and form a circle.

In the center was Kidd in a wheelchair.

The staff took Kidd's car back from the locker room. He raised his arm despite the pain, and the palms of others overlapped each other.

Roy's final shout towards the championship also aroused the blood of the Nets players.

"Brothers, the glory is in front of us, we have to hold it. Do you see the O'Brien trophy? Today we have to leave it here, in the sky of New Jersey that we fight for! In order to build the glory of the New Jersey Nets, for that damn trophy, we must win!"

No one will hold back at this point in the game. The game has reached the moment of determination. No matter what, the winner will be decided in these last 31 seconds!

The referee blew the whistle, and the Nets players stepped onto the court amid the roar of "must win".

Each of them had a resolute expression, a firm gaze, and the belief in fighting for it in their hearts!

Serving the ball at midfield,

Carter stood in front of Bowen, opened his arms to interfere with his serve,

The Nets did not change their respective defensive targets, but they had a great deal of defensive strength.The intensity increased,

Roy stood near the free throw line, guarding against any player who dared to attack the basket,

"Beep"

The referee blew the whistle to signal Bowen to serve normally. The Spurs used a tactic they had never seen before,

The four of them surrounded the city, crossed each other and scattered, which brought difficulties to the Nets' defense,

The respective defensive targets gradually moved away from their own defenders under the alternating cover of the Spurs players. Fortunately, Roy made a prompt decision,

"Each of them guarded the player closest to them!"

At least there should be no chaos. After the chaos after the opponent's cover, the other Nets gradually found their respective defenders,

However, the Spurs took this opportunity to pass the ball to Duncan,

This was not beyond Roy's expectations. The calm Duncan, as the Spurs' first height, was very suitable to be the team's first receiver at this time,

The deeper reason was that the Spurs were not in a hurry to attack, and did not need to give the ball to the starter of a quick attack. The ball was in the hands of the ball holder.

Duncan paused after getting the ball, and passed it to Ginobili who came out of the free throw line after a cross screen.

Seeing that the tactic was achieved, the Spurs players moved to the bottom corner and the sideline to open up space for Ginobili.

Ginobili dribbled the ball and slowly retreated, exiting the three-point line.

Looking at the Spurs' offensive timer on the court, watching the time pass second by second.

In order to use up the last second, he needed to compress the time as much as possible.

The Nets knew that no matter how the Spurs consumed it, they would definitely leave space for themselves.

When both sides had a way out, they dribbled and wandered around the three-point line.

The Nets' pressure was all on Jefferson.

The offensive time entered the countdown. At 8 seconds, Ginobili began to accelerate, with a slow dribbling speed.

The whole body was full of fake moves. Ginobili was waiting for someone.

Horry's forward insertion blocked Jefferson and made room for his breakthrough.
