Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 241 Hell Heaven
According to rumors, McGrady has been interviewed by reporters.

"T-Mac, which player's physical talent would you most want to have? Except yourself, of course."

"KG, he's unbelievable, he doesn't look like a person from Earth at all."

"So, if God let the two of you switch bodies, would you be willing?"

"I don't want to."

"why?"

"Because in that case, I'd have to guard Tim Duncan."

Generally speaking, until the last moment, Zen Master would never be willing to use Garnett to defend Duncan. Compared with single defense, Garnett's ability to help the Lakers help the Lakers more obviously.

But now it's the final stretch, and despite the overall lead, the team will be without reliable starting power forward Karl Malone for a while, so there's no room for loss in any game.Nene played at the end of the third quarter and barely allowed Duncan to score under the help of his teammates. However, the Spurs are bound to make adjustments in the fourth quarter. It is unrealistic to expect a second-year rookie to defend the league's top three superstars.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wade was replaced, and he used an ice pack to cover the tip of his elbow that fell when he landed just now. Billups and Artest returned to the court.

For the Spurs, Parker rested, Ginobili and Prince partnered in the backcourt, Turkoglu, Rasheed Wallace and Duncan were all on the court, and Popovich did not plan to use Malik, who was not effective. Rose came to give the Lakers buffer time.

The tempo of the whole game was very slow, and the Spurs were better at playing in this tempo. As soon as they came up, seeing the Lakers made a defensive adjustment, the Spurs fed the ball to Rasheed Wallace and let him play alone Nene.

In the series, Rasheed Wallace averaged only 14.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. Compared with the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs, the data dropped sharply, and he played very depressed.

The opponent was finally no longer the long-armed, trash-talking spider monster, and Rasheed Wallace planned to vent his grievances.

Leaning inward twice, he turned around and made a fake jump shot. After deceiving Nene's center of gravity, he licked the basket with his low hand.

But Nene didn't seem to intend to let Rasheed Wallace get these two points easily. He remembered the coach's arrangement and hugged Rasheed Wallace down when he lost his position.

Roaring what kind of temper Tianzun is, it was about to explode at that time, but Duncan arrived at the first time and stopped Tianzun together with his teammates.

Nene got a flagrant first-degree foul, and the Spurs made two free throws.

Emotions seemed to suffer as Rasheed Wallace, who made over 70 percent of his free throws this season, missed two free throws.

The bottom line ball was sent, Ginobili lobbed the ball to Duncan, and Garnett tried his best to defend.

After two tries, there was no chance. Artest's help defense also arrived. Seeing that the attack time was running out, Duncan could only forcefully turn over and miss a jumper.

Defensive rebound by Nene.

For the Lakers, the offense has also become easier. Billups and Artest felt cold today. They missed all 7 three-pointers combined. The Lakers can only hand the ball to Kobe to solve the problem.

Prince waved his long arms, stuck to Kobe's side and kept interfering, making Kobe's shots more difficult.Duncan watched from the side, ready to drop Nene and come to help defend at any time.

Kobe forcibly pulled and missed.

The two sides entered the hand-to-hand combat mode in advance, relying on their respective stars to score points in singles. Each round has to be pressed for about 7 seconds before launching an attack. In order to reduce mistakes, the number of transmissions for each attack is very small.

With about 2 minutes left, the score was 79 to 78, the Lakers led by 1 point, and they played a 10-9 in 8 minutes. Both sides devoted all their energy to the defensive end.

When Artest helped defend Duncan, he got his sixth personal foul and graduated with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.

Zen master thought about it, and instead of replacing Battier, he replaced rookie Wade.

Prince's independent offensive ability is average, and Battier's defense is not so important at this time. On the contrary, Wade's impact is what the Lakers urgently need now.

Although Parker returned to the court with 8 minutes left, the Spurs had more of the ball in Ginobili's hands.

As the saying goes, prosperity depends on Parker, adversity depends on Duncan, and despair depends on Manu.

This is not because Ginobili's key ball ability is so good that it cannot be improved, but because the Argentine is bold and not restrained by Popovich, and often wins by surprise. According to the principle of survivor bias, people tend to remember him for turning the tide Forget about the games he lost, they were hopeless anyway, you won't lose money if you lose, and you can earn blood if you win.

But in this kind of [-]-[-] competition, the choice of the demon sword is often a deadly double-edged sword, which can make you scold your mother one second and really smell good the next second; over him.

Dribbling through half court, ignoring Duncan's request for the ball and Wade's defense, he directly made a three-pointer.

Popovich was so angry that he almost rushed into the field. What kind of poor shot choice is this?

There was no suspense, but the long rebound bounced far away. Ginobili grabbed the rebound himself, took advantage of the chaotic Lakers defensive formation, wiped it to the basket, and made a layup.

The Spurs lead by 1 point.

Wade holds the ball and uses Nene's screen to forcefully attack the Spurs inside.

Duncan helped defend in place at the first time, Wade scored the ball to Nene who followed up, and the Brazilian slugger planned to make a thunderous dunk through Duncan.

But the background emperor didn't intend to be the background this time, Shi Buddha stretched out the palm of the Tathagata, and covered Nene's dunk.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Wade leaped high and turned the ball in the direction of the Lakers players outside.

Billups received the ball, and the dunk just now did not touch the basket. There were only 2 seconds left, and there were still two steps away from the three-point line.

Billups, who missed all four three-pointers before, made the fifth three-pointer of the game. The arc of the basketball was higher than usual, and he hit the middle of the basket with precision.

82 to 80, with 1 minute and 16 seconds left.

Garnett only scored 2 points in the fourth quarter, but under his full coverage, Duncan only scored 5 points.

This is unacceptable for the Spurs who are in desperate need of scoring.

Duncan received the ball and made a shot fake, but Garnett was indifferent.

Turning to a back hit, he squeezed hard inward, and Garnett struggled to withstand it.

Turn your back and feint.

Garnett was not out of position.

The double-team came again, and Duncan could only walk in the middle. Before the Lakers players surrounded him, he leaned forward and made a non-mainstream throw.

The action is ugly, but as long as the score is perfect.

Garnett slammed the basket with the ball in both hands, and the ball was almost defended to the extreme.

82 tied with 58.2 seconds left.

Kobe broke through and attracted Wade, who double-teamed and followed up with the ball, but Ginobili showed his angelic side, seeing through all the quick steals, finding Parker who was coming down immediately, and assisting the French sports car to score a layup.The Spurs seem to see the dawn of victory.

Garnett held the ball in a high position, and Kobe singled Prince in a low position. He faked his opponent and leaned up, causing a foul while struggling to throw the ball.

Two points scored, but also a penalty.

Heaven and hell are the thin line. The AT&T Center, which was buzzing with cheers just now, is completely silent at the moment.
