Chapter 161 Tianwang Mountain

After changing a few players to try, the Spurs finally determined that the tactic they came up with to limit Zhang Chen was a failure. The Warriors' small lineup is still their biggest headache.

At the end of the half, the score was similar to the situation in the last two games, that is to say, it will be dangerous for them to continue this game.

However, the Spurs didn't just use this trick to restrict Zhang Chen, they also had the idea of ​​trying their best to consume his physical strength, but they didn't expect the restriction effect to be too bad.

The Spurs head coach Popovich is also very wise, but every time he meets Zhang Chen, he feels very depressed. Even if it is a winning game, he is always worried, for fear that this guy will go crazy at any time. After winning two games in the playoffs, I thought I didn't need to care about this one, but I didn't expect to reach such a critical moment in the blink of an eye.

Now there is no way to come up with a better solution temporarily, but to make the Spurs players work harder. He doesn't believe that Zhang Chen is strong.

The process of the game seems to be very similar to the last two games. The Spurs have an advantage when the "Twin Towers" are on the court, but as long as one player goes down, the Warriors have an advantage.

But the difference this time is that when the Warriors' small lineup was about to be effective, the Spurs replaced David Robinson.

"With another substitution so soon, are the Spurs planning to increase David Robinson's playing time?"

"It is very possible that David Robinson is still in good physical condition now, and he can definitely fight in one or two games. The Spurs have been strictly controlling his playing time before, in order to plan for a longer-term goal. Now it is time At such a critical moment, it is normal to fight hard."

"In this situation, I don't know how the Warriors should face it."

At this time, it was actually the second half of the third quarter. At this time, the Warriors had just exerted their strength, and they were abruptly interrupted. The score was 61:65 and they were still 4 points behind.

The opponent only let David Robinson rest for a while and replaced them. It is estimated that this lineup will be used in the third quarter to stabilize the advantage of the score. Then they can only follow the substitutions, but they replaced Larry Hughes , When the score needs to be held up, Larry Hughes's defensive ability on the outside is not very useful. It is better to let Mullin stay on the court and increase his shooting points.

This is also to let Zhang Chen bring players who can shoot on the field, just need him to play singles to attract the opponent's defense, so as to give the team's shooting opportunities.

Purely fighting for shooting percentage, the Warriors are also fighting.

However, the situation of Zhang Chen leading the pitcher, that is, the team's defense may have problems, the offense has little impact, and the pressure on the outside defense is not so great. It was originally a rotation method for the Warriors, but now the rotation order has been disrupted. That's all.

"The Spurs' defensive strategy against Zhang Chen has not changed. As soon as he catches the ball, he is double-teamed. Zhang Chen also quickly distributed the ball to the open space. Cummings shot a three-pointer and missed it slightly."

"It feels like the Spurs' defense is betting that other Warriors players will not make shots, but facing a player like Zhang Chen, this may be a lot of defensive methods."

"Zhang Chen split the ball again, and this time it was Mu Lin who made the three-pointer...hit, the veteran is different. He has experienced many such scenes, and his shots are very steady."

"Daniels received a pass from Duncan and also made a throw. The two teams now have one ball and one ball. The game has entered a stalemate."

One minute before the end of the third quarter, Zhang Chen hit a three-pointer, and then he was replaced with Jamison for a rest. The Warriors let Larry Hughes lead the three big men of Dampier, Foyle and Mark Jackson to insist on the third quarter. The last bit of time in the third quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, Duncan and David Robinson of the Spurs sat on the court at the same time, and the Warriors also took the opportunity to change to a small lineup. At this time, they were 5 points behind.

Because the Spurs increased the playing time of the "Twin Towers", they entered the final quarter behind the score just like the two games they lost.

After coming up, they successfully scored a counterattack to recover 2 points. They played for nearly 2 minutes. Just when Larry Hughes was fouled for a layup and went to the free throw line, the Spurs were on the main force. It was earlier than before. The Spurs This is determined to win the game.

Larry Hughes made two free throws, the score of the two sides was 75:77, and the Warriors were still two points behind.

According to the experience of the two teams in the previous games, no matter how the Warriors are in the last quarter, at least the Spurs will not suffer when they play the main force. The sky is impossible, you can only play to your own level.

For the current score, the Spurs are quite satisfied. When the score is leading, they switch to the main lineup, and the chances of winning are much higher. In the previous games, it is almost like this. Whichever team leads wins the final victory. .

However, the score gap between the two sides this time is the smallest.

The final decisive battle just started, Duncan scored the ball in time after being double-teamed, Terry Porter decisively hit a three-pointer, and the point difference that had just caught up to 2 points immediately turned into 5 points.

At this time, as the boss of the team, Zhang Chen must stand up.

He ran over to pick and roll for Blaylock, and after the screen, he played a side perimeter pull. This kind of pick and roll not only helped his teammates win the dribble space, but also got him a very good position to receive the ball.

Blaylock immediately sent the ball to Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen immediately turned around and wiped it inside. If he was slow and pinched up, he might not even be able to dribble the ball.

After he took two steps, the flanking defender had already rushed over. At this time, he was breaking through to the bottom line, and the flanking attack could only come from the side. In the case of not stopping the ball, in fact, the defensive player he directly faced was still only One, it must be looking for a cap when going to the basket. Zhang Chen squeezed the defenders and made an emergency stop to throw.

"The ball is scored. The difficulty of this ball is very high. When Zhang Chen jumped up, he was still drifting in the air."

"At this time, he must also increase the difficulty. The Warriors are most confident in this point. As long as there is an opportunity, a resolute attack is the right choice."

"Jamison went around to defend Duncan. The Spurs' ball moved very quickly, and immediately shifted from the side to the front. With a through pass, Duncan turned sideways to catch the ball and almost put the ball in. With the speed of the Spurs' running the ball, The success rate of breaking the defense around the front is very high."

The two sides are tit-for-tat. The Warriors are in a state of momentum, and they can barely draw with the opponent. It coincides with this time that the Spurs are also in good condition, and it is difficult for their defense to keep up.

There is no way around this. If the opponent is in a good state, the effect of the momentum will not be so obvious, but if you choose the state seal, as long as the Spurs prevent him, it will be useless if the other players can't score. The system has added them. The odds of victory, but there is no guarantee of their victory.

"On the offensive rebound, Zhang Chen actually grabbed the offensive rebound in front of the Twin Towers, and after a feint, he carried the defensive player's rebound, 2+1, as expected of Zhang Chen."

"The free throw is also a steady hit. It seems that he is very tired, but he is still the most aggressive one on the court."

"Persist for a few more minutes, fight for these few minutes, victory will belong to us, work hard..." Zhang Chen roared loudly. Because of the change of the Spurs' rhythm in this game, he also consumed more energy than before, reminding At the same time as his teammates, he was also reminding himself that in the last few minutes, he must win the victory.

"The situation on the field was already heated up. Zhang Chen broke through again. The pinch was only a few tenths of a second slower. He swept towards the inside line of the Spurs like a gust of wind. Duncan made up for it. He judged Zhang Chen's direction very well. correct……"

"The jumping pass, the basketball came to the bottom corner, and only Zhang Chen's vision, strength, and wingspan can pass this kind of ball in the encirclement, and Jamison did not hesitate...Go in, At 92:92 the game was tied and the Spurs requested a timeout."

With only three minutes left, the two sides are on the same starting line again. Only stronger and more determined players can withstand the final test.

There is no need to say much at this time, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Duncan received the ball, the Warriors pinched, Duncan made a pass back, and the Warriors' defenders quickly blocked it, concentrating and releasing their physical strength as much as possible. This is the last-minute decisive battle.

"David Robinson moves laterally, catches a pass and hits a mid-range shot against the defender."

"After the pick-and-roll, Zhang Chen shot a three-pointer more than one step away from the three-point line and hit it. The look in his eyes showed his current concentration. Zhang Chen like this probably wouldn't care about the distance from the three-point line. .”

"The head coaches of both sides loudly reminded the players on the sidelines to pay attention and concentrate."

Thanks to Zhang Chen's performance, the Warriors led by 1 point 1 minute before the end of the game.

Then Duncan made a successful foul. Duncan, who was like a free throw, withstood the pressure and made two free throws, and the Spurs went ahead by one point.

"Zhang Chen started dribbling directly from the backcourt. He was controlling the time. He controlled the game time when the score was still behind. I am afraid that only a player with super self-confidence like Zhang Chen would do this."

"Zhang Chen made a breakthrough... He didn't make a breakthrough, he directly shot a three-pointer and hit it... The Warriors led by 2 points, and the Spurs asked for a timeout again."

"I don't know if the Spurs will remember the finals two years ago. They were killed by Zhang Chen's three-pointer."

At this time, the Warriors had to focus on guarding against the opponent's three-pointers, but also couldn't defend against two-pointers. The Spurs played very patiently after they entered the court, and the Warriors' defense was even tighter. For a while, the opponent had no chance to make a shot.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Duncan suddenly raised it, and he was ready to make a mid-range shot after catching the ball. His mid-range shot was very precise.

The moment Duncan shot, Zhang Chen suddenly rushed out from the side, pressing the ball down abruptly in the air.

"This is impossible..." The audience seemed to be dumbfounded.
