Chapter 118 Critical moment (please subscribe!)

After Ginobili's goal, Thomas immediately called a timeout. Now the score is very tight, which is a good opportunity to overtake!

Hu Lin once again sat on the sidelines!

This time, Hu Lin is very calm, because he has fully understood the situation in the NBA, that is, a big star is a big star, you don't care about his state, as long as he is healthy, you have to let him play, especially It's the critical moment!

Of course, there is another reason, that is Boss Fu's injury, and there are more than 8 minutes left, and Hu Lin firmly believes that he will definitely have a chance to play.

After Marbury came on the field, he was immediately guarded by Bowen, which was all instructed by Popovich.

Generally speaking, Bowen's defense is very bad boy army style, especially small moves, if you want to do a difficult move, then you really have to think about whether you will spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair , Those actions of his are not foul, and they don't look so dangerous, but they just make you feel very uncomfortable.You must have played basketball before you can experience this. After you fly, you feel that there is something blocking you below. This, it is really...

For Marbury, Popovich studied very clearly.This guy likes to work alone, and once Marbury is on the court, he will definitely control the firing power in his own hands. Therefore, using Bowen to control Marbury is really a good way to restrain the entire Knicks.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the score was pulled apart by every minute. Both sides were all main players, but there was a gap in strength.

"Okay! Hu! You play! Remember to be smart, you know? Smart!" With 3 minutes and 49 seconds left in the game, Isiah Thomas asked Hu Lin to change his clothes, and then called to his side and told him.

Thomas has nothing to do now. Before that, he called a timeout, beat the referee fiercely, and even glared at Popovich, but none of these could reverse the decline in the scene.

91 to 80, the Knicks have fallen behind by 11 points!
"This opportunity is really good, we must seize it!" Hu Lin said to himself in his heart, if the game can be saved, then Thomas has absolutely no reason to let Hu Lin sit on the bench again!

Substitution!

Enter Hu Lin!

He tightened his shorts, gave Marbury a high-five, and he appeared on the court.

Now the Knicks' lineup is Curry, Lao Li, Ah Q, and Crawford, and they are about to serve the baseline ball in the frontcourt.

Go forward, everyone runs to the basket, and then, when the referee blows his whistle, all the guys run out again!
When Crawford received the ball, he didn't intend to give it to Hu Lin. It seemed that he wanted to organize the offense himself.With a big wave of his hand, Lao Li, the insider, obediently came out to block him.

Blocking Ginobili, Oberto's footsteps can't keep up with Crawford, but the Spurs' inside defense is still there.As a small forward, Bowen has a good defensive awareness, so Crawford chose an emergency stop jumper!

"Bang!"

Miss!

"Drink!" Curry has really worked hard this season. It seems that he has forgotten his heart problem. With his large cross-sectional area, he grabbed this offensive rebound.

However, judging by the meaning, he wants to attack by himself!
He was defended by 'Stone Buddha' Duncan, and it was already a great shame to be caught with one of his own backcourt boards. How could Curry be so arrogant, so Duncan played a very oppressive defense.Although Duncan's current position is unfavorable, he forced Curry to the innermost part of the basket, which is very difficult to shoot.

Hard up!

Curry is really good at using his body in offense, and he was still squeezed out of his position a little bit under such a difficult situation.

Shot!

"Bang!" Unfortunately, it was still too forced!

After the basketball hit the hoop, it didn't fly too far. Almost everyone in the AT&T Center Arena was watching the basketball.

Suddenly, a big hand appeared above the basketball!

"Kuang Ang!"

It's Hu Lin!He almost dunked the ball through Duncan!
"Shhhhhh!..." The first thing that erupted was the booing of the fans!

"Dantou, you are amazing! You are so fucking amazing!" Curry was so happy that he bumped his chest hard against Hu Lin!

"Tiger! You bastard, haha!" Lao Li also came.

"Get back to defense! The game is coming!" Hu Lin was a little bit unbearable, and immediately reminded everyone that the business was important. A team like the Spurs is very good at seizing this kind of opportunity.

Sure enough, Tony Parker would not let go of this opportunity when the opponent's foothold was unstable. His speed was really fast, as if his speed when dribbling was faster than empty running!
Hu Lin has been paying attention to his opponent, he didn't give Parker a chance to sneak away, and stuck to Parker's side tightly.

Really fast, and hard to follow!

It's like Parker doesn't have kneecaps, he can change direction however he wants, Hu Lin is really tired from following.

Finally got rid of it!
Into the Knicks free throw line, Parker finally free.

"This yellow man is really annoying! No!" Parker suddenly had a new warning sign.

Although he was freed, Lao Hu did not give up easily. He immediately turned around with Parker, and then reached out to steal the ball from behind Parker!
It's a pity that Parker is not just waiting for nothing, he immediately received the ball in his hand and went straight to the layup.

"boom!"

As soon as the basketball was released, Lao Li, who flew obliquely, pinned it on the backboard!
"Beautiful!" Just after Lao Hu yelled, he immediately took the ball and pushed forward!

"Wahoo!!" The Knicks' bench kept waving white towels.

"Hush!!!..." The fans were booing!

And Hu Lin launched a fast break in such an environment!

It's Bowen again. At every moment like this, Bowen will appear where Popovich most wants someone.

Seemingly a little scared, Hu Lin hesitated after facing Bowen, and his speed dropped all of a sudden.

Hurry up!

Just when Bo Wen also stopped, Hu Lin suddenly accelerated.

The jersey was torn, the arm was pulled, and Bowen's leg was still where Hulin must pass.Although it was awkward, Hu Lin still shook off Bo Wen, because the reason why he made these small movements showed that Bo Wen could no longer keep up.

Get into the paint!

Although the Spurs didn't have a good position, Oberto and Duncan were both inside. The Spurs' fast break just now, the two of them didn't move much.

Seeing Hu Lin coming in, Duncan immediately raised his long arms!Although he doesn't jump high, but his position selection is very precise, coupled with his extremely long arms, Duncan's defense has always been praised.

Collect the ball for a layup, protrude your right foot in a diagonal direction, and then exert force in the opposite direction, swinging the basketball with your hands holding the ball.

Eurostep!
By the time Hu Lin stepped on the ground with his left foot and completed the last step of the layup, he had already thrown Duncan away. Although it seemed that he had not completely escaped, there was already room for a safe shot.

"Bang! Shah!"

After hitting the board and hitting the basket, Hu Lin scored two more points!

"Nice job!..." The Knicks' bench floated a white towel again.

"Hush!!!..." The audience was still venting their dissatisfaction.

91比84尼克斯还落后7分，比赛还剩下3分22秒。

"Manu, that guy's Eurostep was so good just now, I even thought it was you for a moment." Duncan said to Ginobili before running into the frontcourt.

"Oh, haha, that's fine, then I'm not the only one being scolded." Ginobili was referring to the nickname 'snake'.

"Ha ha……"

The Spurs are very mature, and they rarely panic. This is the temperament of a champion.

After three passes and two downs, Ginobili hit the ground to Duncan, who hit the board at 45 degrees and scored two points!
Curry worked very hard, but it still didn't have much effect.

93:84.

It's just that the Knicks can't attack now, and the commercial time is here!
Official pause.

"We still have a chance! Show them a bit of power! Next we will do this. After the double screen, Ah Q, you pull out, and Jamal, you also have to move. Pay attention, Dantou, we have to focus on the three-pointer !..." Thomas was eloquent, gesturing and arranging tactics.

Lao Hu basically understood these things as soon as he heard them, and he didn't need to ask the coach to explain them in such detail.What Lao Hu is most concerned about now is 'Egghead', which means that he will stay on the field, this is really...

"It seems that I can finally get enough playing time." Hu Lin seemed to have seen hope at this time.

It's just that Marbury, who was sitting on the bench, didn't show any expression. When everyone came on the court, he still punched them one by one. I wish them all a good performance!
The official timeout is a short timeout, only 20 seconds, so the two sides returned to the field soon.

Hu Lin dribbled forward, still making a double-screen gesture.

Everything went well, Ah Q arrived at the appointed place smoothly and reached out for the ball.

However, Lao Hu did not give him the ball, but directly passed it to Lao Li who immediately turned to ask for the ball after the inside screen. This cooperation so far is exactly the same as that of Hu Lin at the beginning of the fourth quarter!
Seeing David Lee taking the ball, Oberto, who had followed out, could only take it back immediately, so.

"Whoosh!"

Ah Q finally caught the ball.

"Shh!"

Three points hit!In other words, if Ah Q hadn't suffered from a back injury, his three-pointers would still be quite accurate!

"Nice job!!!" Thomas almost dropped his tactical board!This is a tactic he personally arranged, and everything is under control, which is really cool.

The Spurs are not vegetarians. Ginobili went inside and scored two points, using the same Eurostep.

95 to 87, with 8 points left!
It's still a double screen, since the coach has arranged it like this, then let's do it!

Ah Q pulled out again, Hu Lin gave it to Lao Li again, but this time there was no chance to pass to Ah Q, Bo Wen directly blocked Lao Li, and then Parker from the outside line stepped in to help defend, what does that mean? Just to break Lao Li's ball.

"Crack!" The basketball returned to Hu Lin's hands. Parker left and he should be vacant, but the Spurs' rotation was good, and Ginobili filled Parker's position.

"Whoosh!" Then Crawford should be empty.

"Shh!"

Three points hit! 95 to 90, there is still a gap of five points, and now there are 2 minutes left, the defense will be the key this time.

Now is the critical moment of this game!
