NBA: Ultimate Tormentor

Chapter 178 Ghost Tactics: Continuous Pause in the Final Quarter!
There are 7 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

The Spurs attack and face Tony Parker with the ball.

Monta Ellis gambles for the steal, body diving toward Tony Parker's ballhandler.

But was dribbled behind by Tony Parker.

Tony Parker lowered his center of gravity and was about to accelerate when a big hand suddenly appeared.

With a sound of "snap!", the big hand slapped the basketball, and with a sound of "Boom!", the out-of-control basketball only bounced on the floor before being caught by Qin Dong's big hand.

There are 5 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

Qin Dong, who didn't rest for a second, ran with the ball.

"Boom!"
The moment the dunk is completed, the red light of the timer lights up.

The first game is over.

32: 28!

Relying on his bottomless physical strength, Qin Dong survived until the confrontation with the Spurs' substitute, and took the opportunity to hit a wave of climax.

Narrow the point difference to only 4 points.

Before the start of the second quarter.

On the Spurs bench, the players were discussing Qin Dong.

"The physical strength of that little bastard is really scary." Tony Parker said panting.

"Yeah, it felt like he had no idea what fatigue was," Manu Ginobili said.

Although Shifu Tim Duncan didn't speak, he nodded with deep comprehension.

"I don't believe he can play a full quarter in the second quarter." said George Hill, who was blocked by Qin Dong once and stealed once in the first quarter.

"Dude, don't take him lightly."

"In the last round of the series, he averaged 45.8 minutes per game."

Manu Ginobili said.

"hiss"

Hearing this terrifying average playing time, Tim Duncan, who had a calm expression on his face, couldn't help but take a breath.

"Manu, Tim, come here." Popovich beckoned to let the players come over, and he was going to start the tactics for the second quarter.

"We can't let him stay too comfortably under the basket. We need to move the ball more to draw his defensive attention." The "he" in Popovich's mouth is naturally Qin Dong.

Although Qin Dong's defensive efficiency was not as terrifying as the previous round of the series when facing the GDP combination.

But his deterrence of the penalty area at the basket has a blinding effect.

And
You can't expect the Warriors' rotation players to keep their three-pointers going.

Popovich first hoped to mobilize Qin Dong's defense by transferring the ball, creating more easy-ball opportunities for the team.

Secondly, if you really can't create opportunities, let Tim Duncan attack hard at the basket and make a hard solution. It is best to make Qin Dong suffer from foul troubles.

In the first round of the series against the Thunder
No one in the Thunder can effectively punish Qin Dong in the low post.

But the Spurs are different
They have the world-recognized No. [-] power forward.

The second quarter begins.

What makes Warriors fans feel excited and distressed is that
Qin Dong, who did not rest for 1 minute in the first quarter, played again.

Both sides sent the starting lineup of the first quarter.

The Spurs attack, and Duncan gives George Hill a high pick-and-roll.

The two made a handoff and Duncan got the ball.

George Hill cut.

At this time, Duncan noticed that Qin Dong, who was defending the weak side, was like a beast hiding in the darkness, ready to show his sharp fangs at any time.

Duncan faked a pass and feinted a shot, tricking Qin Dong into shifting his center of gravity.

Suddenly, Duncan flicked the ball to Antonio Davis behind Qin Dong.

The latter catches the ball!
Direct hit!

But what surprised him was that Qin Dong, who had lost his defensive position a second ago, was able to recover after rushing towards Duncan's pass.

Such terrible defensive resilience.
Let him have a feeling of facing the peak Kevin Garnett.

Although there is a big gap in height between the two, the sense of defensive deterrence is almost the same.

of course
With this ball, Qin Dong was still a little slower, and Antonio Davis made a shot.

The Warriors attack, Stephen Curry and Qin Dong pick and roll.

Richard Jefferson switched directly to Curry.

Qin Dong quickly pulled him away.

Curry kept dribbling the ball under his crotch, suddenly took a horizontal step, and made a three-pointer.

Curry's step back to the left wasn't a big one.
But Curry's three-pointer was too fast.

Jefferson, who is 201cm tall, defended one-on-one, but he didn't catch it.

With a sound of "Shua!", Curry hit a three-pointer.

"nice shot!"

"Curry, who made 3 of 1 three-pointers in the first quarter, can raise his hand."

Director Zhang of the Tianchao Sports Live Broadcasting Room said.

"Well. Want to beat the experienced Spurs in the playoffs."

"Want to take the win from the GDP portfolio."

"Curry's three-pointer must be opened."

Teacher Su said.

but
It's really not exaggerated to be Curry in the rookie season.

The three-point shot in the next offensive round, with a sound of "哐!", the basketball hit the iron and bounced out of the frame.

After the missed shot, Stephen Curry spread his hands towards the referee, indicating that the opponent's defense violated his cylinder.

The referee didn't bird him.

Be reasonable.
This time Jefferson's defense did have a lot of suspicion of fouling, but the whistleblowing scale in the playoffs is large, and the referee can really ignore this foul.

rebound!
Qin Dong rushed to the basket the moment Curry made a shot.

George Hill, who switched him, was a short man with a height of 191cm and a weight of 87kg.

Qin Dong's domineering body squeezed directly.

The position of this rebound is in the area where PJ Tucker and Antonio Davis are located.

PJ Tucker failed to grab the position and was blocked by Antonio Davis, but PJ Tucker's confrontation also prevented Antonio Davis from fully taking off.

With a sound of "snap!", Qin Dong rushed to the basket, leaped high, and grabbed the rebound directly from Antonio Davis's head like nine stars picking the moon.

The moment he grabs the offensive rebound.
Curry, who was outside the three-point line, started misleading without the ball.

Seemingly running to the left, he suddenly pulled his body back and accelerated to the right with all his strength.

Richard Jefferson didn't follow.

After receiving the pass from Qin Dong, Curry made a three-pointer with a knife, and with a sound of "shua!", he made a shot.

"nice shot!"

"Pretty!"

"Xiao Qin's offensive rebound is really beautiful."

"The pass is also good."

"In the end, Curry also shot beautifully."

Both the Spurs and the Warriors played well offensively in the second quarter.

Qin Dong put all his energy on defense and rebounding.

Curry is focusing all his energy on offense.
Of course, Curry wanted to focus on defense, but he couldn't.

Both sides come and go, and the score keeps rising.

The game was at 5 minutes and 13 seconds into the second quarter.

Relying on his own offensive threat, Curry assisted PJ Tucker to hit a three-pointer.

This goal allowed the Warriors to complete their lead for the first time tonight.

50: 51.

The Warriors led by 1 points.

quickly
The Warriors were in the defensive round again, relying on Qin Dong's excellent defensive flexibility and mobility, directly crossed from the strong defensive side to the weak defensive side, interfering with Ginobili's layup.

The Warriors got the right to the rebound and initiated an offensive and defensive transition.

In the process of advancing with the ball, Curry made a pass in the middle of the gap and passed it straight to the fast-moving Qin Dong.

"Boom!", Qin Dong dunked and ended, scoring the 10th point of the game.

50: 53!

The Warriors' lead came to 3 points.

This made the Warriors home fans suddenly excited and excited.

But soon.
Tim Duncan first screened without the ball in the high post, then suddenly sank to the low post, and directly hit Jordan with his back.

Little Jordan was shaken by Duncan's fake move and jumped up. Duncan took the opportunity to lean on him and threw the basketball out at the same time.

"drop!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

Defensive foul by Jordan.

"Shua!"
Duncan seemed to throw the ball around, but he still scored.

2+1!

Duncan made an extra free throw!

The difference was instantly smoothed out.

"Hey, this little Jordan likes to jump around, why did he do it again?" Director Zhang of the Tianchao Sports live broadcast room said.

"Yeah, Jordan didn't like to dance so much in the first round of the series against the Thunder."

"Counting this foul, Jordan has fouled four times so far."

"It's time to rest."

Teacher Su said.

"Hey, there's no way, who made him face Tim Duncan." Director Zhang sighed.

The Warriors requested a timeout after Duncan made a free throw.

Jordan, who was charged with 4 fouls, was replaced by Andris Biedrins.

After Biedrins played, Duncan did not continue to play hard in the low post.

More is to cover for teammates and support high positions.

It's just that when the tactics can't be implemented, it will be terminated.

The thing that fucks up the Warriors the most is
After Andris Biedrins came on, he lost a lot of defensive rebounds.

Duncan, who seems to be on the floor, is always able to make tip-ups with his fingertips at the most appropriate time.

Facing Tim Duncan with top ball intelligence, top static talent, and top rebounding sense
For the first time, Qin Dong exposed his shortcoming of lack of height to play the 4th position.
Although Qin Dong can jump and jump
Rebound awareness is also very top
But the Spurs tried their best to prevent Qin Dong from rushing for offensive rebounds. As for the defensive rebounds under the basket, the Spurs players hung on Qin Dong's body like pendants, which made it difficult for Qin Dong to take off.

Halftime is over.

62: 56!

The Spurs regained the lead.

And the game entered the second half.
The Spurs let the GDP combination debut at the same time.

Manu Ginobili's outside touch suddenly exploded. He received a pass from Duncan twice in a row, picked it up and shot.

Corey Maggette didn't lose his position on defense
But he just got in.

In this year's regular season, the unusually low-key, unobtrusive Spurs, relying on the tacit understanding between players and the experience of veterans, took the Warriors second in the Western Conference in the regular season.

75：62，比赛进行到第三节6分11秒，马刺已经取得了13分的领先优势。

But as the strength of the three declined
At 8 minutes and 19 seconds of the third quarter, Popovich replaced the GDP combination at the same time.

The gears of fate began to turn.

82: 65!

17 point lead
Qin Dong, who still hadn't had a rest, led his team to nibble away.

The third quarter was 10 minutes and 19 seconds.

Monta Ellis gave the ball to Qin Dong who just ran outside the three-point line on the right wing.

Richard Jefferson, who defended him, was very tight, and there was almost no room for a shot.

After receiving the ball, Qin Dong didn't make any fake moves, and directly relied on the league's top 5 first step to eat Jefferson raw. After breaking through to the basket, he faced the Spurs' backup center Ian Mahinmi.

With a sound of "Boom!", a frontal buckle was completed.

84: 72!

The game lasted to 1 minutes and 23 seconds in the fourth quarter.

Qin Dong ran without the ball and came to the corner beyond the three-point line.

Richard Jefferson was completely rid of it.

"Shua!"
88: 80!

The point difference was chased to only 8 points left.

The game lasted to 2 minutes and 11 seconds in the fourth quarter.

Qin Dong shot out from the flank and interfered with George Hill's layup. Then, with a "snap!", he quickly received the rebound.

Qin Dong found that the defensive attention of the Spurs players was on Curry.
Qin Dong made a decisive decision and pushed the fast break with the ball himself.

Qin Dong's ball-holding speed is considered good among the 3 positions. Seeing Qin Dong pushing the fast break by himself, the Spurs were a little caught off guard.

Qin Dong quickly went down to steal the chicken and succeeded.

90: 86!

Only 4 points left.

"drop!"

The Spurs requested a timeout at this time.

Popovich stared blankly at Qin Dong who was going to the Warriors' bench.

In fact, when the point difference was chased to only 10 points in the fourth quarter, Popovich wanted to request a timeout.

But he held back.

Because what he thought was that it was impossible for Qin Dong to continue running tirelessly.

However.
Surprisingly, Popovich
Qin Dong really did it.

Although it is not clear how he feels inside, judging from his performance on the court, he is really not tired at all.

"horrible!"

"too frightening!"

"This physical strength is more brutal than that little guy on the stage of the 07 Finals"

"Such astonishing physical strength and willpower are really 'rare'."

Popovich sighed in his heart.

Of course, Popovich knows very well that no matter how physically strong a person is, it is impossible not to be tired after playing high-intensity games for so long.

Let him still have this vitality on the court.
In addition to physical strength, there is also a tenacious spiritual will.

After the pause.

The troika of the Spurs, GDP returns.

This made the Warriors fans who had just seen hope feel suspended again.

But Qin Dong, who was in a hot state at this time, got rid of the ball without the ball, came to the bottom corner, and faced Ginobili who rushed in front of him, with a sound of "whoosh!", he shot a three-pointer.

"Drip!" The referee whistled.

Manu Ginobili made a three-point defensive foul.

"Shua!"
Three point hit.

3+1!

Qin Dong made a steady penalty.

The score is tied.

this moment!
At the Warriors' home court, Oracle Arena gave out thunderous applause and cheers of "Qin! MVP!"

Deafening! ! !
Followed by.

The Spurs wanted to return one quickly. Duncan singled Jordan in the low post. Jordan was gouged by Duncan's bottom step. Qin Dong came to help defend. Duncan's big hand was like a big spoon, and he threw the basketball in his hand to Antonio behind him. - Davis.

The latter made a mid-range shot.

"Bang!"

The Warriors protected the rebound.

Curry chased and hit the iron with a three-pointer.

After Qin Dong scored that 3+1, the offense of the two teams suddenly failed.

Duncan faced double-teaming. Although he passed a lot of good shots, none of his teammates made any shots.

The Warriors couldn't get into the Spurs' basket.

So far, although Duncan has only 3 blocks in the game, he has completed 18 successful frame protections.

Among them, Qin Dong contributed 6 times to him.

of course
This is not Qin Dong directly speeding up and rushing to the basket to face Duncan.

Even if Qin Dong passed the defender with his first step, the defender still kept chasing after him, forming a certain amount of harassment in the rear.

In addition, there is Duncan's frame protection under the basket.
Although Qin Dong made 2 dunks in front of Duncan, his finishing efficiency after the breakthrough was extremely poor.

but
Stephen Curry stepped up in the clutch in the fourth quarter.

2 in a row, hitting a three-pointer against George Hill.

At 9 minutes and 11 seconds of the fourth quarter, Curry, who hit two ultra-long three-pointers in a row, was still defended by George Hill alone.

As an old-school coach, Popovich did not choose to double-team Curry who put on the 'Kuritian' skin.

Curry dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, suddenly lowered his center of gravity and took a step forward, and George Hill immediately retreated.

Curry also bounced back at this time.
Three-point shot!

"Shua!"
Hit again! ! !

104vs110!

With Curry's unreasonable three-pointer, the Warriors opened the point difference to 6 points.

Looking at Curry who made a three-pointer, Popovich's assistant coach kept saying something, but Popovich was unmoved and still did not choose to double-team Curry.

He doesn't believe that three-pointers can shoot dead people! ! !

Soon, on the offensive end, facing Qin Dong's misplaced defense, Duncan took a deep step to chisel Qin Dong, but was interrupted by Jordan's help defense at the end of the layup.

Duncan put the basket and hit the iron.

Just the next second, Duncan moved the basketball into the basket with a little hand.

106: 110!

"drop!"

The Warriors requested a timeout.

After Qin Dong returned to the bench, the staff applied ice to Qin Dong's knee.

Qin Dong was panting heavily.

Sweating.

I was so tired that I didn't even want to talk.

Although Qin Dong's physical strength is the limit of an NBA player, he can't stand such a toss.

As the coach Don Nelson, Qin Dong didn't respond when he saw Tim Duncan pointing his finger at the offensive rebound just now.
As long as there is a drop of oil in Qin Dong's body, he will spare no effort to take off and interfere.

But Qin Dong did not
This let Don Nelson know that his lover's physical fitness has been exhausted.

Pause ends.

Warriors coach Don Nelson again requested a timeout.

2 pauses in a row.

This not only confused the fans, but even Popovich was confused.

Is this Warriors planning some strange tricks?

Two pauses.

Nearly 3 minutes later, Qin Dong's physical strength recovered a little.

After playing again.

Curry, who felt hot, found that the Spurs hadn't even double-teamed himself.

Curry passed George Hill with a false move from the outside line, and broke into the free throw line. Facing Duncan who didn't plan to pounce, Curry took a step forward and hit the board with a high throw.

in turn.
The Spurs attacked, and after Duncan got the ball in the low post, the Warriors double-teamed.

However, after Duncan arched Jordan with his back, he suddenly turned around. Not only did he pass Jordan, but he also tricked Qin Dong who came to help defend, and Duncan hit the board.

"Fuck!"

Qin Dong was also quite speechless.

Although Duncan scored two consecutive goals, the point difference did not narrow.

With 40 seconds left before the end of the game, the Spurs are still 6 points behind.

The Spurs attacked. After facing double-teaming, Duncan chose to play the ball this time and gave it to Yaodao.

A sports car in good times, a Buddha in adversity, and a demon sword in a desperate situation to slay chaotic demons.

However.
The reason why the demon knife is called the demon knife
In addition to the highlight performance in desperate situations, there is also the fact that he often cheats.
"whoosh"

Ginobili's three-point shot at a critical moment was interfered by PJ Tucker who defended
The basketball thrown did not even reach the basket.

Do not stick directly.

This ball!
Watching Duncan put his head in his hands, staring blankly
Popovich had his hands on his hips with black lines all over his face.
With Ginobili's three-pointer, he made a three-pointer.

The game completely lost suspense.

In the end, the Warriors won the victory in a narrow and dangerous manner.
