Chapter 651 Good night, San Antonio
"Tomorrow, yesterday, the past, the future, people comfort themselves in this way, and their souls die in this meaningless self-comfort. We have neither tomorrow nor yesterday, so we don't have to miss the past or yearn for the future. The only thing we can hold on to is the present moment. The greatest quality that White Wolf exhibits is not omnipotence, but the unwavering belief that he is omnipotent." - Dwayne Casey.

As long as they win this game, they can defeat the Timberwolves in one go, prevent the birth of a dynasty, and thus shine in history.

No one wants to miss this opportunity, it is the best opportunity.

With Garnett not here, they just need to defeat Bai Jidong.

Ginobili's offense was flickering like a silver snake. Battier was chasing and was fouled by Ginobili.

Shane Battier has fouled five times, Garnett is not there, it is too difficult for him to limit Ginobili alone.

"Xiao En, leave it to me." Bai Jidong said.

Battier was about to walk away when the sound of substitutions came from the sidelines.

Casey went all out and replaced Battier, who was exhausted, with Vashabek.

Everyone knows Vashabek's strengths and weaknesses. He is an athletic genius and a basketball novice.

It is unrealistic to expect Vasha Baker to make up for Battier's vacancy. His advantage is that he is young, he may bring surprises, and he may change the trend of the game because of a mistake.

Ginobili missed the free throw, Simien got the rebound and passed it to Bai Jidong.

"Bonu, can I pass the ball to you?" Bai Jidong asked.

Vashabek replied in a deep voice: "I will throw the ball in."

The three-pointer that Spanoulis missed earlier strengthened the determination of the Spurs to double-team Bai Weidong.

They have already decided that it doesn't matter if other people score or not, Bai Jidong must not be allowed to score.

The Spurs' defense is crazy, so brutal and reckless to double-team a player, except for the peak Jordan and Kobe in the regular season last season, no other person can get this kind of treatment in the high post.

"Can you still trust these soft-footed shrimp? They can't even make open three-pointers!"

Bo Wen vainly tried to interfere with Bai Jidong's judgment with words.

"Who do you think I am?" Bai Jidong asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm Kobe?"

As soon as the words fell, and was about to launch an attack, the Spurs double-teamed suddenly, and Vashabek and Spanoulis got vacant at the same time.

Surprisingly, the target of Bai Weidong's pass was not Vashabek, who had just entered the field and had an unknown touch, but Spanoulis, who missed an open three-pointer last round.

The people who connected the ball were all dumbfounded, but they couldn't imagine how other people would react.

Spanoulis puts the ball away and throws it with full force.The goal that carried the hopes of countless people did not disappoint.

"The goal has been scored! The point difference has been reduced to 3 points!"

Spanoulis jumped up excitedly, as if throwing in a lore.

Vashabek was still confused, he thought Bai Jidong would pass it on to him.

Bai Jidong cheerfully ran to his side and asked, "Accident? Surprise? Are you moved?"

"A surprise but not a surprise." Vashabek said bluntly.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "That's good, keep this sense of anticipation, there will always be a time for you to shoot."

Vashabek didn't have time to listen to Bai Jidong's nonsense, all his attention was on Bo Wen.

The 3-point advantage is fleeting, and it can be regarded as no lead.

Duncan leaned on Olowokandi and raised his hand to pass the ball.

No matter when, Duncan is the most trusted point of the Spurs.

As long as Duncan is around, Spurs fans will feel at ease.

This trust is built up over the years.

As soon as Duncan took the ball, he gave people a sense of "this ball is stable".

Olowokandi went on to be educated by Duncan.

Also the No. [-] pick, Olowokandi was stunned by Duncan's explosion.

Webber and Smith can only be anxious. The three of them are known as the No. [-] fraternity, but only Olowokandi can get a stable playing time.

Duncan's score was like a bag, and he fouled Olowokandi again. This was Olowokandi's fifth personal foul.

Olowokandi was unusually calm tonight, he seemed to know what was on his back.

Duncan goes to the free throw line. As long as he makes the free throw, the point difference can return to 6 points. That is a great encouragement to the team. He must make the free throw.

"boom!"

The free throw hit the front of the basket and luckily fell in.

Duncan clenched his fist and shouted: "Good!"

As Bai Weidong dribbled the ball across the half, the game entered the final 4 minutes.

Bowen stepped forward to stick to the defense, and his defensive movements became bigger and bigger.

From the beginning of the game till now, although Bo Wen didn't make any destructive dirty moves, all kinds of insidious little moves have left more than a dozen scars on Bai Jidong's body.

This level can't stop me!
Bai Jidong firmly believes that he can break through the clouds and mist, and see the blue sea and blue sky that none of them have ever seen.

"My God! So fast!"

The speed at which Bai Jidong broke through Bowen was beyond people's perception, and the double-team was not even formed in time.

"Don't try to act wild!"

Duncan stepped forward to block Bai Weidong's way forward.

Bai Jidong flew up in one step, knocked Duncan away with his whole body, grabbed the ball with his huge and powerful right hand, scooped it up from the bottom, and lifted it towards the basket.

During this period, the referee had already blown his whistle and ruled that Duncan was fouled, but that was not the whole scene.

The ball landed on the left side of the basket, jumped a few times, and rushed into the basket reluctantly, marking a perfect end to this attack.

"Damn it! Good shot!"

Olowokandi has no words to describe the excitement in her heart.

Ximien panted heavily, looking at Bai Jidong like a god.

Every teammate is full of respect for what Bai Jidong has done.

Bai Jidong walked to the free throw line, caught the referee's pass, made a steady shot and scored an additional penalty, scoring his 24th point in the fourth quarter.

"The White Wolves only need to score 6 more points to break the 20-year playoff single-quarter scoring record held by "Sleeper" Floyd. Fifth on the record for points scored in a single quarter in the playoffs."

"Floyd's performance is undoubtedly phenomenal, but I believe that White Wolf's scoring will not stop. He has the opportunity to hit Floyd's great record!"

The Spurs called another timeout, and Bai Weidong's performance made people tremble with fear.

After the timeout ended, the Spurs played a wave of smooth tactical coordination.

Duncan used a high pick-and-roll to gain space for his teammates, and after the block was completed, he slipped into the basket to take advantage of the loopholes.

Without Garnett, the defense of the wolf pack is unsystematic, and without Battier's perimeter defense, there is also a lack of momentum.

After such cooperation, the Timberwolves made frequent loopholes, the basket was penetrated, and the Spurs scored another 2 points.

The Spurs' strategy against Bai Weidong is still double-teaming. The double-teaming strategy has been reduced from three-man double-team to two-team, and Duncan inside is always ready to make up.

Spanoulis was no longer available, and Parker followed him the entire way.

Vashabek was neglected intentionally or unintentionally, but Bai Jidong spread the word whenever he saw the opportunity.

Vashabek made a shot and stepped on the line to make a two-pointer.

Go in!

"The final variable in this game depends on whoever stops scoring first, or it can be said that the team with better defense will win the game."

The game came to a 120-second countdown, the Spurs led by 3 points, and the ball was also on the Spurs' side.

Manu Ginobili has the ball and the guy who guards him is the Defensive Player of the Year winner.

It is worth mentioning that after Jordan, Bai Jidong is the second player to win double first team, steals, scoring, MVP, and best defense at the same time in the same year.

However, in the year when Jordan dominated both ends of the defense, he did not win a championship.

"Will White Wolf be the same as Jordan back then?"

Bai Jidong blocked Ginobili's way, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Ginobili and Bai Jidong are not the same level of stars, but no one will underestimate Ginobili because he has never dominated the league.

Since this Argentine led Argentina to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games, the whole world has looked at him with high regard.

"White Wolf, do you want to try the delicious pampas lamb?" Ginobili asked while holding the ball.

Bai Jidong didn't say a word, he didn't look like him at all.

Ginobili still wanted to say a few words, but Bai Jidong's expression was more rigid than Duncan's.

"OK, let's get started." Ginobili started running through the three-point line.

When Bai Jidong reacts, the former will directly change the direction against physics, which is a direction that a normal person can never do.

Bai Jidong couldn't keep up with this rhythm and lost his position in an instant.

Ginobili had no time to be happy, Bai Jidong behind him immediately caught up.

The terrifying sense of defensive coverage made Ginobili unable to find space to shoot, so he could only pass the ball. This was the stupidest decision he made tonight.

Bai Jidong blocked the pass and destroyed the pass. Spanoulis picked up the ball and was fouled by Bowen just as he was about to make a fast break.

The referee who has been on the side of the Spurs finally did the right thing - Bowen was called a flagrant foul.

The Timberwolves got two free throws. Spanoulis slowed down and stretched his muscles and bones without feeling hindered.

Bowen's villain still had a little effect. Spanoulis, who made 85% of his free throws, actually missed one of them.

"It doesn't matter, if you score this goal, it will be divided equally." Bai Jidong shouted.

Bai Weidong served the ball to the Greek, and ran to the low post to ask for the ball.

Such an abnormal move made the Spurs almost unable to react.

Bai Jidong received the ball easily, and only then did the Spurs know what Bai Jidong wanted to do.

Scoring two points is definitely easier than scoring three points. Before shooting three points, it was because of too many losses. Now it only takes two points to tie, so what the hell is there to shoot three points?

The Spurs' double-teaming bankrupted Bai Weidong's low-post plan, and he could only find a way to score again.

In order to prevent Bai Jidong from scoring, the Spurs did everything possible, with Bowen chasing behind and Ginobili blocking in front.

Spanoulis made a decisive decision and launched an attack alone. This change disrupted the arrangements on both sides, and the entire front was in chaos.

"Vassilis, what the hell are you doing?" Himeon shouted.

Spanoulis has no time to answer, he is now a thorn in the eyes of everyone in the Spurs.

If it weren't for him, Bowen would not have been sentenced to a flagrant foul; if it weren't for him, Bai Jidong would have been surrounded to death.

Spanoulis' attack was restricted by Duncan so that he couldn't make a shot. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong. He just felt that they couldn't leave everything to Bai Jidong alone.

At least, they want to give Bai Jidong a comfortable space to attack.

In the last few seconds, Bai Jidong ran from the low post to the free throw line, and Spanoulis passed the ball hard.

Bai Jidong caught the ball and made a jump shot at the buzzer.

With 90 seconds left in the game, the two sides tied.

"damn it!"

Popovich stomped hard, dissatisfied with the result.

At the critical juncture, the Timberwolves' defense did not fall but rose, and the intensity actually increased a lot.

At this time, the referee also restrained a lot.

The rest of the time, the game will be decided by the players themselves.

Bai Jidong saw Ginobili's breakthrough route and stepped forward to destroy it.

Ginobili could only regain control of the ball and stabilize his center of gravity to avoid accidents.

Bai Weidong took the lead and launched a suffocating pressure on the Spurs' perimeter.

If it wasn't for Duncan's low post to be in place, he would probably be forced to make a mistake this time.

The situation was urgent, and Duncan had to fight by himself.

The time left for Duncan is not rich, he has to decide how to make a shot in a few seconds.

Olowokandi's defense made Duncan make a judgment. With a pressure on his back, he let go of the strength on Olowokandi, dribbled the ball and went to the line to attack the basket.

"I won't let you score!" Olowokandi roared.

Duncan's layup missed, but he grabbed the offensive rebound and put the ball in the basket.

"Technically you did, but it's a pity," Duncan said.

No one likes to hear Duncan say that, and Olowokandi has nothing but sulking at himself.

Spanoulis quickly crossed halftime and was about to make a gap for the team, but was intercepted by Bowen like blocking the way.

"No!"

Unable to bear the consequences of this mistake, Spanoulis turned around to chase, but slipped on sweat.

The Greek was already desperate, and he saw a figure chasing after him.

Until the end, is it still up to him to solve the problem?
Bai Jidong was already running fast enough, but the Spurs' counterattack was even faster.

Bowen passed the ball to Parker, and the French sports car fired up for a layup.

Bai Jidong panted heavily, and Parker ran away from him with a smile on his face.

"The point difference is back to 4 points! It seems that the legend of the White Wolf has come to an end."

"With 51 seconds left, the Spurs lead by four, let's see what happens after the timeout."

Casey has no time to scold Spanoulis, he only cares about Bai Jidong's state.

Bai Jidong wiped the sweat on his neck with a towel, seeing that Spanoulis was sulking alone, he ordered an extra drink from the trainer.

"You will make people think that we have lost."

Hearing this, Spanoulis looked up.

"Feel sorry……"

"If you lose this game because of your mistakes just now, then you really need to apologize to us, but the game is not over, we haven't lost yet."

Bai Jidong said.

"Clap clap clap!"

Bai Jidong clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention: "We are only 4 points away, that is to say, a three-pointer and a two-pointer can solve the problem."

"Brothers, cheer up!" Bai Jidong's high fighting spirit infected others, "The world is at our feet, do you want to step over it with me, or lie down and rot?"

Casey put down what she was doing.

It is lucky to coach a player like Bai Jidong, because he can solve all problems.

Similarly, for those coaches with ideals and aspirations, coaching Bai Jidong is also unfortunate.

For example, at a time like this, you feel that it doesn’t matter if you exist or not.

"Aren't you running fast? Why couldn't you catch up with Tony just now?" Ginobili asked provocatively.

Bai Jidong smiled helplessly: "Although I run fast, sometimes I still can't catch up."

"Then wait to lose, the outcome has been decided!" Ginobili said.

There is not much time left for Bai Jidong, he must complete an attack in a short period of time, then lead his teammates to defend against the Spurs once, and then score another goal.

Bao Wen posted it, clearly not giving Bai Jidong a chance.

The referee's looser standards made Bowen's actions completely unscrupulous, and every time he made a move, he rushed at someone.

"Guard him! Bruce!"

"you can!"

"Let him know how great you are!"

"cut……"

Holding the ball in one hand, Bai Jidong laughed unrulyly and said: "Bruce Bowen, the audience's cry is your elegy, tremble, your death knell has already sounded!"

The inhuman step has pulled away Bowen's center of gravity, but instead of moving forward, he deliberately pulled back to lift the ball...

Bo Wen jumped up unconsciously, he shouted in horror, this is Bai Jidong's fake move, he jumped too early!

Bai Jidong slammed into Bo Wen's body head-on, the referee blew his whistle, and then shot a three-pointer.

A head-on hit!

"Oh my god~~"

The Werewolf team on the scene, teammates off the field, fans in front of the TV, and the moment the goal was scored, they could no longer suppress the emotions in their bodies, and countless people roared wildly.

Spanoulis excitedly pushed Bai Chengdong away, Olowokandi and Simien jumped like monkeys, and even Vashabek cried out excitedly.

Bai Jidong wiped off the sweat from the corner of his mouth, and gave Ginobili a mocking look.

Well, what did you just say?

Bai Jidong didn't speak, but his intention was obvious.

"Shh!"

"The White Wolf completed a four-point play and scored 28 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, surpassing Charles Barkley's 1997-point playoff scoring record in a single quarter in 27, second only to Floyd's single quarter 29 points."

"Great is no longer enough to describe the performance of White Wolf!"

The Spurs called a timeout, and Casey guessed they would let Duncan play the crucial shot.

Sure enough, the Spurs chose to let Duncan play the ball.

The Timberwolves made preparations in advance, Bai Jidong shrank inward, forcing Duncan to pass out, and then quickly pasted Bowen.

"It's time for the White Wolves to prove that 'Defense of the Year' deserves its name."

The ball was in Bowen's hands, but he couldn't handle it, and even passing the ball was an extravagant hope.

Bai Weidong's defense is like a big net, engulfing all his options.

Bowen was cornered before Ginobili ran out of space and was about to pass the ball.

Bai Jidong saw through the path of the ball and sent the ball flying.

The Spurs' offensive time was exhausted when the ball rolled to the backcourt.

10 seconds!
The Timberwolves have 10 seconds left!
"The Timberwolves throw the ball in bounds!"

"In the last ten seconds, they have no timeout!"

"Will White Wolf write a perfect ending for this perfect script?"

Elliott was so nervous that he couldn't breathe. He thought of the night when Fisher beat the Spurs in 0.4 seconds.

The Spurs seem to be unable to escape the fate of becoming the background, could it be that tonight...

Bai Jidong calmly arrived at the front court, letting time pass by.

In the last five seconds, Bai Jidong accelerated his breakthrough, and the Spurs quickly double-teamed him.

Bai Weidong's breakthrough didn't go deep enough, and he made an emergency stop on the right side of the free throw line.

The pitching right hand was in the air, and as the red light came on, the game was over.

"Shh!"

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"White Wolf draws a great end to this great night!"

Elliott has mixed feelings. He has witnessed greatness, but his beloved Spurs are a footnote to greatness.

"Good night, San Antonio."

Bai Jidong looked at Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Bowen, Horry...

"Good night, you bastards."

　I finished it in one go, and originally wanted to divide it into two chapters, but found that such a chapter was not enough for 3000 words, so I just sent it out directly.
