Chapter 195 Under the Battle of Tianwang Mountain

Chapter 15 Under the Battle of Tianwang Mountain
The Hornets and the Spurs entered a confrontational mode. Ginobili made a hit from the bottom corner first, but the Hornets immediately served from the backcourt. Paul handed the basketball to Jack directly. After Jack received the ball, he directly killed the Spurs. At the basket, the dunk was successful, and the color was returned!

Spurs attack!

Parker carried the banner of the Spurs' offense. Parker relied on Duncan's stepping forward to cover, and after the left wing broke through, he made a mid-range shot from the bottom corner.Back on the Hornets side, Jack encountered a double-team on the baseline and immediately sent the ball out. After Butler received the ball, he immediately shot an open three-pointer and the ball went into the net.

The Hornets re-established a 6-point lead. Seeing that the Hornets were so tough, Popovich couldn't help it, and immediately called a timeout.

However, this pause was in the first attack and did not have any big effect.Ginobili's frontal three-pointer shot, "boom" the basketball bounced out of the basket.Jack's timely card position under the basket overwhelmed Tim Duncan and grabbed the rebound in front of Duncan.

The Hornets got a chance to further open the score.

Jack dribbled the ball at the top of the arc from outside the three-point line. Jack was ready to go and forcibly broke through the impenetrable defense line of the Spurs.

Jack relied on his super strong first step to throw the defensive Tim Duncan away.Straight to kill the Spurs' penalty area, the Spurs players immediately shrunk back.

Jack wanted this kind of result. Jack's dribbling hand suddenly trembled, and the basketball was directly distributed by Jack to Butler, who was open on the outside.

Butler probably didn't realize that Jack was going to pass him the ball, he wasn't ready.Urging the shot, with a "swap", Butler appeared in the hollow outside the basket.

The rebound was picked up by Duncan.

It was still Parker's dribble that changed direction from left to right, and after swaying away from Paul's defense, he made a mid-range shot with a sudden stop, and the ball scored with a "swipe" sound!
Seeing Parker score a goal in front of him, Paul was also very upset.Paul attacked with the ball, and after relying on Jack's screen, he easily reached the Spurs' basket.

Paul smashed the ball with one hand, dribbled the ball at high speed and pretended to pass the ball behind his back. Holly, who came to help defend from the basket, believed it was true, and subconsciously went to make up the defense...

After tricking Holly, Paul faced an empty basket, a low-handed layup under the basket, and scored the ball!
The scores of both sides are very tight. At this moment, both sides dare not relax at all.Seeing that the Hornets had a tendency to further widen the score, Popovich immediately replaced Ginobili who had just come down to rest.

Ginobili really deserves the title of Demon Sword, and he never relents at the critical moment. As soon as Ginobili came on the court, he immediately broke through and caused a foul by Butler, and Ginobili stood on the free throw line.

"rinse"

"Shabu" made two free throws!
The Spurs relied on Manu Ginobili's free throw to chase the score to the last 4 points.

Back on the side of the Hornets, Jack played Duncan with his back in the low post, and after a few hard shoulders on Duncan, he made a fake shot and shook Duncan up.Jack then jumped up, trying to make Duncan's foul, but the referee's whistle didn't sound!

The basketball Jack threw also rolled out of the basket after a few laps.The ball didn't go in!
The rebound was grabbed by Duncan!
The Spurs attack!
Holly, the cold-blooded killer who had been silent for half the game, also stood up at this time.Relying on Duncan's empty-handed cover on the inside, he slipped to the bottom corner and went out from the inside.

Parker dribbled the ball through the Hornets' defense, directly killed the Hornets' inside line, and attracted the Spurs' players to double-team. After that, he quickly passed the ball to Holly's hands.

After Holly received the ball, he pulled it up and opened his hand to shoot.The basketball draws a very perfect arc in the air.

With a sound of "shabu", the basketball went into the basket very simply and neatly!With 34 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Hornets chased the score to the last point.The situation started off with some disadvantages for the Hornets.

Paul organizes the Hornets' last wave of offense!The ball was still in the hands of Jack inside.

After Jack received the ball, he took Duncan hard for a few times, and turned around at the basket extremely quickly. Jack's body leaned back slightly, his wrist trembled slightly, and the basketball rolled out from Jack's fingertips...

With a sound of "shabu", the basketball hit the net!
Jack made a shot at the buzzer and hit the ball, and the point difference between the two sides came to 3 points again.

With the last 12 seconds left in the third quarter, the Spurs still have the last chance to attack.Parker finally chose a high toss under the basket!

With a bang, the ball didn't go in!

The fourth quarter started, and the players from both sides began to fight hand-to-hand. Everyone broke into the penalty area of ​​both sides to foul!Physical contact also gradually increased, the referee whistled continuously, and Jack and Duncan each stood on the free throw line.

The Spurs still had a three-point gap, and it was Jack's attack under the basket. Jack turned around under the basket, but was caught by Uncle Bao who was about to cut the ball.Uncle Bao cut the ball and was fouled!

"Drip..." Jack stood on the free throw line again at the whistle.

"Boom" Jack's rare first penalty missed!This is also the first time Jack missed a free throw in this game!

"Shabu" but fortunately the second penalty was scored!

The Hornets led by 4 points, and there were still 2 minutes left before the end of the game.The final result of the game is still very difficult to say. Whether the Hornets will be the seventh game or whether they will pack their things and go on vacation is still very hard to say.
