D'Antoni didn't know what kind of adjustments he made. Anyway, after the timeout ended, the Suns increased their shots from beyond the three-point line. Lagabel, Nash, and Tim Thomas' three-pointers were all very good. Diaw and Marion's Although three-pointers are not very reliable, they all have a certain three-point ability.

The Suns are now gambling, betting that their three-pointers feel better than their normal offensive touches, but obviously, they won the bet. In less than 2 minutes, they made three three-pointers. They have scored 36 points in this quarter.

However, the score is still ahead of the Spurs, but the lead is only two points left, and the game time is only one minute and 21 seconds left. The Spurs still have two long and one short three timeout opportunities, and the Suns The team has only two chances left, one long and one short.

Popovich is still waiting very patiently. If the Suns call a timeout, he can save the timeout. It was an unexpected adjustment, and he also believed that the players on the court were already the lineup he was most assured of. Of course, there was a Manu Ginobili sitting off the court who made him feel more at ease, but he was not needed to play yet.

Seeing that the score was gradually approaching, the Spurs did not need Popovich's urging to automatically improve their defensive level. Under Tony Parker's defense, it was almost difficult for Nash to even turn around, and other players were also close to him. Defensive object, even Duncan got entangled with Dior.

Nash barely passed the ball to Diaw, but Duncan spread his arms and blocked his path to the inside pass, and when Marion cut, Stephen kept standing between him and the ball, keeping him from receiving the ball , Naturally, there is no threat of air cutting.

Diaw had no choice but to throw the ball to Tim Thomas on the outside. Robert Horry was staring at him closely. Although both of them were big men floating on the outside, in comparison, Tim Thomas basically didn't attack at the basket. Ability, and Robert Horry is better than him anyway.

Compared with the body, Robert Horry is a few years older than Tim Thomas, and his height and weight are similar, but Robert Horry can squeeze Tim Thomas out of the three-point line abruptly and receive teammates. Passing the ball, Tim Thomas found that there was no chance to make a shot. After trying a few times, he passed the ball to Nash again.

17 seconds have been spent on this attack, which rarely happens for the Suns, and even though the ball was in Nash's hands, Nash still didn't find a chance to make a shot. Tony Parker's physical fitness is fully dominant, Putting all his attention on defense again, Nash couldn't stand him a little bit.

Nash wanted to turn around, but turned around and Tony Parker was still in front of him, and the game time was passing by, Nash had to back up and dribble, and when he was outside the three-point line, he suddenly took off , The body is lying there obliquely, and still throws the ball into the basket.

The Suns went ahead by one point, and there was only one minute and one second left in the game. D'Antoni glanced at Popovich. He was also waiting for Popovich to call a timeout first, and sometimes actively adjusted It's not a good thing. At the same time, he has fewer timeouts than the opponent, so he doesn't want to waste it. Now that he has overtaken the score, he naturally won't call.

No one called a timeout, and the game continued. Tony Parker of the Spurs easily broke through Nash's defense, and then used Robert Horry's screen to block Tim Thomas. Facing compatriot Diaw, Tony Parker seemed to be merciful. , did not go in, but suddenly passed the ball out. After being caught by Stephen, Stephen made a fake shot, tricked Marion into jumping up, suddenly lowered his head and accelerated, and got under Marion's arm. After passing by, facing Dior who came over, Stephen had no intention of showing mercy. After making a move to pass the ball to Tony Parker, seeing that Dior was not fooled, Stephen immediately went up to Dior and squeezed away After a little gap, he rushed to the basket, and after taking off and turning 180 degrees in the air, Stephen made a shot from within a short distance of the basket, and the Spurs entered the leading stage again.

For 47 seconds, the head coaches of the two teams did not call a timeout, as if they were fighting against each other. However, the Suns, under the defense of the Spurs, still could not complete an attack in a few seconds as before. In 13 seconds, Nash found a chance and passed the ball to Lagabel, but Lagabel's shot missed the basket, and the rebound was taken down by Stephen.

At this time, Tony Parker had already run towards his own half. Stephen flicked his wrist and wanted to throw the ball to Tony Parker, but who knew that Nash, who was running in the middle, suddenly took off at this time. He successfully blocked it, and then Nash quickly dribbled the ball to the half court, and made an emergency stop jump shot at a position one step away from Stephen, and once again overtook the score.

In 31 seconds, Popovich thought that he could not continue fighting with D'Antoni. His original plan was to take advantage of him and let him use a timeout in advance, but who knew that this mustache was not as heavy as before. I can't help being angry, and I don't need to wait until now. If he doesn't need it, he will use it first.

Although no matter how the Spurs dragged the game to the end, it would still leave the Suns with an attack time, but Popovich still asked the players to try to drag the game to the end, leaving only a few seconds for the Suns If they can enter the attack time, it means that their own side is out of luck, if they don't, then their side is blessed by God.

But regardless of whether they can score or not, the offense of one's own side must be scored first, otherwise the other side does not need to score, and one's own side will fail. In fact, there is another option at this time, that is, the Spurs will use two or three seconds first. Play a quick attack and then give the opponent more than 24 seconds, then your own side still has time to attack.

No matter this method is very risky, it is hard to say whether your own quick attack will make it or not. Even if it does, the opponent still has ample time to attack, while there is only one or two seconds left on your side, fate is still in your hands In the hands of others, if there are more than 35 seconds, then Popovich may use this method.

In this case, it is easy to guess what the Spurs will choose. Although defense has never been emphasized, it is impossible not to defend at this time. Arrange tactics.

If the Spurs succeed, and only a few seconds are left for the Suns, the Suns may not be able to complete the offense. In that case, no matter if it is a one-point gap or a two-point gap, they can still commit fouls Tactics, the timeout is also used to arrange foul tactics, so D'Antoni does not plan to call a timeout at that time, but wants to arrange the tactics now, and then talk about it.

If there is no problem, this is the last attack of the Spurs. It must be completed. Otherwise, there is only foul tactics. Short, playing foul tactics is also feasible.

Both coaches have made a decision, if the offense fails, they will use foul tactics, but that is just an unavoidable solution. In addition to praying for the opponent's free throws to feel bad, the foul tactics also need to be able to hit the ball themselves. The method was adopted, and now both coaches are focusing on this offense.

The Spurs' offense unfolded unhurriedly. The ball was passed back and forth in the hands of Tony Parker and Robert Horry. Duncan was struggling to find a position. He couldn't create any threats, but now it's different. His foot injury has always made it difficult for him to fully exert his strength.

Meanwhile, Stephen was leading Marion in running training on the court. Ginobili, who had just been replaced by Popovich, stood there and watched with cold eyes, as if he was not a part of the team. Lagabel stared at him intently. , Although he looks like he is staying out of the matter now, but he has a lot of experience with Lagabel. In a certain respect, Ginobili is even more threatening than Kobe, so Lagabel dare not be careless.

At this time Ginobili suddenly moved, Stephen just ran past him, and Marion blocked Lagabel for him as if cooperating with him. Seeing that Lagabel lost his position, Ginobi There was a flat river ahead, and Marion hurriedly turned around and stood in front of Ginobili. Although Stephen was also very threatening, Ginobili's side was more obvious.

Ginobili made a shot, and then quickly retracted, attracting Marion and Lagabel's double-team, Ginobili didn't wait for them to block his own passing line, snapped, and hit the ball It passed under Marion's crotch and came into Stephen's hands.

Stephen got up straight away, took big strides, and hit the basket in two steps. Although Dior reacted and was about to block, Stephen had already jumped into the air. With his height and strong jump, he didn't have the confidence to block the ball from Stephen's hands Come down, so I had to get ready to grab the rebound and hope that the Spurs miss this time, and then he can grab the basket.

Although Stephen took off successfully, he was still some distance away from the basket, and there was a Dior in the middle. Stephen waved his hand in the air and smashed the ball directly to the basket. This kind of attack method or success rate is not guaranteed for dunks. , but if you dunk, you have to go deep into the basket, but now there is no time for that.

Stephen's shot like a shot put did not fail, the ball obediently entered the basket, two points, and the Spurs led the Suns again, leaving the Suns with seven seconds of attack time.

Tim Thomas served, Dior set a screen for Nash on the other side, Nash dribbled the ball as fast as possible across the half court, four seconds had passed, Nash stood outside the three-point line, raised his hand He threw the ball to the basket. Although Stephen tried his best to jump in the air, he still didn't touch the ball.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I made a mistake in the previous chapter. There is a section before the offensive foul that was omitted, so here it is assumed that the four fouls have passed by default, but everyone read it very carefully. This is a bit unreasonable and raised doubts. , Thank you very much, Xuanzhong has revised it.
