play for it

Chapter 245

Just when Wallace was about to give up and let Yang Ke complete the layup like that, he saw Frank standing on the sidelines, and remembered why he reappeared, and remembered the respect Monroe had when he left the court.

The coach trusts him, the teammates trust him, if he just gives up so easily, why should he play? Why should he let them down? And why should he lie to himself?
ha?!

Turns out... my heart never died!

Although I was an undrafted rookie, I was also a 4-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.In 04, relying on the tenacity and bloodiness of the grassroots team, they defeated the Zijin Lakers unprecedentedly and won the championship.

I'm Big Ben!
There was a flash of light in his eyes, and Wallace suddenly forcibly twisted his body, ignoring the pain caused by the discomfort of his knee.At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his peak, and his sprint speed beyond the limit allowed him to catch up with Yang Ke in two steps.

With a sharp kick of both feet, Wallace caught up with Yang Ke in an instant with his monster-like jumping ability.Raising his arms high, his eagle-like eyes allowed Wallace to accurately lock the basketball on Yang Ke's left hand in the air.

This is impossible!

In the air, Yang Ke, who was about to make a shot, suddenly shrank his pupils, and he saw Wallace soaring into the air.While extremely shocked, he did not make any evasive actions.

With a roar, Wallace slapped out a shocking hat with his right arm, and the basketball was slapped out of the court by huge force.And Yang Ke was even dazed by the cover, and he didn't even stand firm when he fell, and directly hit the column cap at the bottom of the basket.

The scene was silent for a moment, and it took only a moment for all the fans to react, standing up one after another, cheering heartily.They have always believed in the team and watched the game on the spot, as if they saw the iron-blooded insider again.

"pause!"

Seeing clearly that Yang Ke fell to the ground, Popovich's face tightened, he stood up from his seat, walked straight to the referee, and raised his hand to call for a timeout.

During the pause prompt, Leonard trotted to Yang Ke's side, stretched out his hands, looked back and forth, and asked nervously, "Yang, are you okay?"

"fine!"

Yang Ke shook his head, grabbed Leonard's hands, and stood up from the floor.The studs at the bottom of the basket are stuffed, so when you hit them, it still hurts, but basically you won't get hurt.

For a while, he couldn't figure out why he was hated, and Yang Ke hadn't come out of the shadow of being hated. Fortunately, Leonard reminded him that he didn't forget that this was a precious time-out.So while thinking, he walked off the court.

Looking at Yang Ke who was slowly walking in, Popovich raised his hand to hand over the drink, and asked at the same time: "How is it? Are you not hurt?!"

The pain in the body gradually disappeared. Yang Ke shook his head, took the drink, twisted off the lid and took a sip, then gasped and said, "No, it's just that he didn't stand his center of gravity when he landed."

"Well, go and rest."

After looking up and down, Popovich immediately nodded reassuringly, stretched out his hand and patted Yang Ke on the shoulder, and told him to rest on his seat.But he himself stayed where he was, and he didn't plan to make any adjustments to the tactical arrangement during this timeout.

In fact, the team's current offensive and defensive performance does not have any problems.The reason why Yang Ke was hated was due to two important factors.First, Yang Ke's basket skills are still a bit immature after all, his intentions are too obvious, his movements are too rigid, leaving a lot of loopholes.

As for the second thing, it was "Big Ben" Wallace's unexpected performance, which made it impossible for people to see that he was a veteran who was about to retire...

Thinking of this, Popovich turned his head and cast his eyes on Wallace standing beside Frank. He will never forget the 05 Finals.

The finals that year were called the league's historical level defensive battle, although the fans didn't like it very much.But that series of games had a profound enough impact on Popovich and the Spurs that they learned a lot.

At this time, Borrego, who had settled the players, walked up to Popovich with a few strides, holding the tactical drawing board, and asked in a low voice, "Coach, do you need to replace Yang Ke?"

Hearing this, Popovich closed his eyes, looked back at Borrego up and down, and then said: "Replace Yang at this time, do you want to destroy him?"

Knowing the meaning of Popovich's words, Borrego also knew that replacing Yang Ke at this time was indeed a big blow, but he also had his own corresponding thoughts, so he explained: "No, I'm just afraid that he will get hurt. After all, after all three of GDP were injured, the team's situation is very bad."

"We made demands on Yang, and since he has made changes, we have to trust him without reservation. Besides, what if he is really injured?"

After waving his hand, Popovich smiled and said, "It's just a playoff with a chance, don't worry about it, at worst we'll come back next season!"

Borrego was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that the team hadn't missed the playoffs for more than ten consecutive years, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out and patted his forehead, and said with a smile, "It's my fault, my problem."

The timeout was fleeting, and players from both sides re-appeared one after another. Since the basketball was fanned out of the court by Wallace, the offensive ball was still in the hands of the Spurs.

call!
Taking a deep breath, Yang Ke bent over and stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. Following the referee's whistle, he suddenly started and ran to catch Leonard's serve.

The original attack time was running out, so Yang Ke didn't stop, and started to single-handedly fight Prince.And because Prince still focused his defensive attention on Yang Ke's outside attack, Yang Ke passed him again and quickly entered the inside.

Bang!Bang!
Looking at Wallace from afar, who was already sternly waiting for him at the basket, Yang Ke didn't back down just because he took a big hat, and his speed increased instead of decreasing, and he went straight forward like a strong wind.

At this moment, the entire Spurs team knew what Yang Ke wanted to do, and the players on the bench stood up.Although Popovich said that his face was as calm as ever, he secretly clenched his hands.

come on!

Staring fiercely at Yang Ke, Wallace put on a defensive stance, full of confidence in his heart. Since he successfully defended the last round, this time is no exception. He is not that old yet.

When he broke through to the free throw line, Yang Ke's eyes became sharper and brighter. Suddenly, he collected the ball through a strong ball control, controlled the trajectory of the ball and felt at ease.

Both feet landed at the same time, and then Yang Ke squatted down slightly, and instantly completed the energy storage. Finally, he faced the basket and faced Wallace, and jumped with both feet suddenly.Obviously, this is a jump layup.

　Tomorrow is my birthday, which coincides with Sunday, so I must relax, wow.
