Chapter 865 Life or Victory? Victory!
Yes's face is very calm now.
But he is very excited in his heart!
And his eyes can't hide his admiration for Ibaka.
He was sincere in what he said to Ibaka during the halftime of this game.
He sincerely hopes that Ibaka can break the shackles.
Although in his heart, Ibaka is not as important as Durant and Harden who are destined to become five-star players, but in this season without Durant, Ibaka is his guardian.
Ibaka is a guardian like Durant, a guardian who protects his poor passing ability from being exposed, and a guardian who protects his strength from being exposed.
Ibaka has done his duty very well this season.
As for being able to kill the enemy on the offensive end in addition to taking the blame like Durant, this is a favor, and he has no rigid requirements.
Even if he can't do it after a season, Yes will not be dissatisfied with Ibaka.
But, unexpectedly, Ibaka did it!
In the most crucial game of the playoffs, at the most critical moment, ten out of ten shots!
Ibaka's standing up at the most critical moment not only saved the game, but also saved his 94-point shooting trump card, and even saved his season!
In Yes's plan for the playoffs, the Spurs are not an opponent that needs to use trump cards.
This is an opponent that can be easily passed.
His trump cards need to be used against the Mavericks, the Lakers, the future Heat or the Celtics.
That is the opponent he cannot control and the game he cannot dominate.
If the trump card is consumed in the first round of the game against the Spurs, even if he advances in the future, it will add countless ups and downs to his road to the playoffs this year.
Because of Ibaka's magical performance in the second half, not only did this game become bright again, but this year's playoffs also became clear.
Of course, this is Yes's idea. For old Nelson, Ibaka's magical performance allowed the team to tie the score.
But the situation of the game did not reverse.
Ibaka has now scored ten times in a row. The score is tied, which is the bottom line for Popovich and the Spurs. Popovich and the Spurs will definitely not continue to defend Ibaka like this after the timeout. Popovich will change tactics again after the timeout.
Popovich is forced to change tactics again, which is a gamble for Popovich.
Similarly, it is also a gamble for the Supersonics.
The Spurs need to take the risk of failure when they change their formation.
And the Supersonics need to take the risk of the Spurs' success!
However, looking at the Supersonics players who are now in high spirits, old Nelson's frown slowly relaxed.
In this game, the boys have played so far and he is very satisfied.
Milicic was beaten by Duncan, but he always remained strong and kept his psychological defense line from being broken by Duncan.
Millsap was very, very uncomfortable with Bonner's kite style. Millsap preferred to have a muscle-to-muscle collision with Randolph, rather than playing hide-and-seek outside the three-point line and being led by the nose. But even if he was upset by Bonner, Millsap remained calm. Before Ibaka broke out, Millsap was the most reliable point on the offensive end of the team besides Yes.
Rondo, although his touch was still very bad in this game and the defense did not require him to exert his strength, his pass was the key to Yes creating so many good opportunities for Ibaka and breaking the double-team of Bowen and Jackson!
What about Ibaka? Not to mention,
10 of 10 shots, 24 points in the second half, the key to the team's ability to close the highest 14-point difference, not to mention that Ibaka not only performed well on the offensive end in the second half, but also on the defensive end in the first half.
As for the most important Yes of the team, under the Spurs' strong defense, which may be the strongest defense that an outside player has encountered in NBA history, he scored 8 points in the first half with very limited shots. In the second half, he still scored in double digits, reaching 14 points. In addition to the 14-point performance, Yes also had 10 assists, which directly led to Ibaka's scoring fairy tale. At the same time, there were 11 rebounds. When Milicic was suppressed by Duncan and Millsap was transferred out by Bonner, Yes and Rondo really guarded the Sonics' defensive rebounds without leaks.
Up to now, the outcome of the game and the future situation are still unclear.
But every starting player of the team has put in all their efforts and strength.
Not only the team's starters, but also the substitutes performed very well.
The Spurs' substitute lineup in this game is very strong. The Spurs substitutes led by Tony Parker and Ginobili are definitely one of the best in the entire league.
At least on the surface, Parker and Ginobili are two All-Star players!
If we compare the strength on the surface, the Spurs' bench lineup will crush the Sonics' bench lineup.
In the first half, when the Sonics' starting lineup was at a huge disadvantage and their offense was so bad, the Spurs only led by 12 points. The Sonics' score did not collapse, and the biggest credit for this was the bench lineup led by Barea, Harden and Gasol.
Not only did Gasol have to be beaten by Duncan in the starting lineup and Milicic in turn, and share Milicic's fouls, but he also had to be the mainstay of the rotation lineup. Barea and James Harden were both a bit nervous in offense. Without Gasol's rebounding, the situation was sometimes out of control.
There are also Barea and James Harden. Barea and James Harden were directly facing Parker and Ginobili, two All-Star players, in the substitute lineup in this game. With the help of Gasol, the two did not suffer much loss at the hands of these two All-Stars.
Barea is a championship player. He performed very well in the championship season of the Supersonics last year. He is a big scene man, so it is understandable that he can hold Parker at such a critical moment.
The key is James Harden. As a rookie, he faced an opponent like Ginobili, who is very difficult to deal with even in the All-Stars, but James Harden actually held on!
It can be said that if the outcome of this game is not considered, the performance of the Supersonics players in this game is the most satisfying game of his season.
Just!
He knew, he knew from Yes, from the eyes of the Sonics players, that these Sonics players could not ignore the victory or defeat!
"When there is no opportunity, we will not take it for granted that Yes will charge forward and sacrifice himself to lead us to victory!"
"When the opportunity comes, we will never become a stumbling block for Yes to win!"
"Now, the opportunity comes!"
Is now the opportunity?
Thinking of this, old Nelson's frowning brows all stretched out.
"Boys, the game has been played until now. I don't want everyone to be bound by victory or defeat. That will make us lose our judgment at the critical moment. Let's play a game that will not make us regret for the rest of our lives!"
"This great game should not be a regret in your career, but a sweet memory of your career!"
Seeing old Nelson's current expression, the Sonics players who are now very eager to fight were stunned for a moment.
So far in this round of series, old Nelson's brows have been deeply locked most of the time.
The Spurs are difficult to play, Popovich is difficult to play, especially with Yes's special request that Ibaka must be brought along, and Ibaka has no other tactical value. It can be said that Nelson is dancing in shackles this season and this series. '
Tactically, he really has no way to think of a stable and standard tactic with Ibaka and Yes as the core.
Although he can't think of a winning tactic with such shackles.
But he can dismantle Popovich and the Spurs' tactics.
"After the Spurs' timeout, Serge will be given special attention. Popovich will never let Yes continue to exert too much influence on the offensive end. He will choose the most effective strategy invented by the Nuggets against Yes, which is to use offense instead of defense. Popovich has already used the two strongest defensive players to defend Yes on the defensive end. He can't continue to strengthen the defense against Yes on the defensive end. The only thing he can do is to use offense instead of defense. The two strong points of Parker and Ginobili of the Spurs have proved that they have no ability to suppress Yes on the offensive end. The only player of the Spurs who can suppress Yes on the offensive end is..."
When old Nelson said this, the expressions on the faces of the Sonics players who were still excited just now all turned into horror.
Old Nelson paused and didn't say the name of that person, but anyone who is not a fool can clearly know who old Nelson is talking about.
If old Nelson really magically guessed Popovich's changes and ideas, then? !
"Tim...Duncan..."
Thinking of this name, Milicic's non-mainstream hair dyed milky white on his head trembled slightly.
Like Milicic, all the Sonics players looked at Yes, who was still calm at this time.
Old Nelson and the Sonics players certainly didn't think Yes was an idiot who couldn't get what Old Nelson said.
The calmness on Yes's face made the shocked Sonics players feel much better, and also made Old Nelson show an admiring expression.
"After the timeout, if I guess correctly, Popovich will use Duncan to suppress Yes on the offensive end, and suppress Yes's energy on the defensive end. Yes's defense is very good, small defense against small, small defense against big are very good. For those inside players whose basic skills are not so good, Yes may be able to defend, but Duncan is an alternative. Duncan's skills are not so gorgeous, but he is one of the best inside players in the league. For inside players with solid basic skills, Yes's defensive strength and defensive skills will basically not have much effect in the face of height disadvantages."
When Old Nelson said this, everyone looked at Ibaka again.
Ibaka certainly knew why everyone looked at him like this, because he ignored Duntumon's defense because of his height when facing Duntumon before.
When he has a good touch and a solid shooting action, he can ignore the excellent short defender, Duncan.
What about Duncan?
Duncan is taller and more powerful than him. Duncan's touch in this game is also very good. Although Ibaka doesn't want to believe it, the fact is that Yes is like Duncan in front of Duncan.
"So, guys, after the timeout, our most important thing is to protect Yes, to protect Yes on the defensive end, so that Yes can continue to maintain enough influence on the offensive end to pin Bowen and Jackson there!"
"Next, it's more specific, Dako..."
"Mr. Nelson!"
Just when old Nelson was about to arrange the protection tactics, and Milicic and others were also ready to listen carefully, Yes, who had been silent all the time, actually spoke...
"Yes, do you have anything to add?"
"Mr. Nelson, we want to win this game, right?"
"Of course."
Old Nelson and the Sonics players next to him looked at Yes with some doubts.
Yes looked at the doubtful people and continued calmly.
"Since it's a victory, it's equally important to ensure my influence on the offensive end and the team's influence on the defensive end. I don't want the team to disrupt its defensive system in order to protect me. Duncan is not only an excellent attacker, he is also an extremely excellent organizer."
When Yes said this, how could old Nelson and the Sonics players not know what he wanted to express.
Are these things Yes said true?
Of course it's true!
In order to ensure Yes's offensive influence, the Sonics need to be disciplined on the defensive end. This is gambling!
Popovich is gambling, and Old Nelson is also gambling!
Old Nelson didn't say it so clearly because he didn't want Yes to be under pressure.
He couldn't say at this time that the whole team would sacrifice to protect Yes, so Yes, you must work hard.
Yes is the hope of the whole village, but he doesn't want Yes to really go on the court with such a burden.
However, he really didn't expect Yes to say it so directly...
"Yes..."
Old Nelson's face was surprised.
The faces of other Sonics players were shocked.
Now they understand what Old Nelson's tactical intention is. Of course they will not be unwilling. Yes is the hope of all of them. Isn't it right to sacrifice them to protect Yes?
But looking at Yes's current expression, looking at the faint smile slowly emerging on his calm and cold face, the Sonics players had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"I am very grateful for everything you are willing to do for me, but this time, please allow me to refuse."
Sure enough!
Old Nelson frowned again.
James Harden next to him was blinking his eyes frantically, and these frantic blinking eyes showed how restless he was now.
"Yes, then, that person is Duncan!"
"You, you, you are going to fight Duncan on the defensive end and Bowen and Jackson on the offensive end?!"
Even Rondo's voice was trembling when he said these words at this time.
Is Ye Xiaojiu crazy?
Even the second master who got back the shooting bag was not so reckless? !
Yess glanced at Rondo who was stunned at this time, and continued to smile and said: "Mr. Nelson, now I have only one thing to get rid of you. In the next game, I hope you can let everyone help me kill all the offensive opportunities of all Spurs players except Duncan!"
Kill all the offensive opportunities of other Spurs players? !
Looking at the firm expression on Yess's face, old Nelson sighed and finally nodded.
"It's very simple. If Yes takes Duncan away, we won't let Duncan feel that his teammates have better chances than him."
"But..."
Old Nelson and the Sonics players were still very worried, but when Old Nelson wanted to say something, Yes interrupted him again.
"Mr. Nelson, I promise that the victory of this game belongs to the Sonics and everyone!"
"..."
This momentum, this confidence, this smile...
It was so bright that Old Nelson and the Sonics players next to him didn't even dare to look directly at it!
The long timeout between the Sonics and the Spurs was not very long, but it gave the players of both sides and the spectators on the sidelines or the audience in front of the TV a feeling as if a century had passed!
"Before the game started, I don't think anyone would have thought that this game could be played to this extent!"
"The game has been going on until now, and there is once again a chance to reverse 0 to 3!"
The Sonics tied the score in desperation, which makes people look forward to this result again!
"When Popovich provoked the controversy of the black eight and 0-3 reversal before this series, he never thought that he would face such a situation!"
"Look at the anxious and frightened expressions on the faces of the Spurs fans at the scene, and look at the excitement and crazy expressions of those non-Spurs fans at the scene!"
"The next six minutes are the six minutes for the whole world to witness a miracle!"
Barkley has now completely taken control of the commentary.
Kenny Smith on the side watched in shock as Barkley explained in a way that the Supersonics were about to win this game.
The game has not ended yet, but Barkley has already stood on the side of the Supersonics, blatantly!
Why can Barkley be so blatant?
Because he knows that most of the TV viewers in the United States are definitely on his side!
Another big reversal from 0-3!
And this reversal was even crazier than the Nuggets'. This time, it was not only a reversal, but also a black eight, facing the Spurs, who are now recognized as the strongest team in the league!
This time, it was a real Jedi counterattack of the highest difficulty!
Thinking of this, Kenny Smith took a breath.
Immortality!
Yes and his fairy tale and the team infected by his fairy tale seemed to be immortal!
Just when Kenny Smith was still immersed in the shock of Ibaka's equalization, the timeout that was not so long but felt extremely long finally ended.
Spurs attack!
Looking at Justin Duntmon on the court, Kenny Smith was a little surprised, and there were many people who were as surprised as Kenny Smith.
This time, there were so many timeouts, Popovich did not change the tactics, and Justin Duntmon still stayed on the court?
"Didn't Popovich see that Justin Duntmon's intimidating defense against Ibaka had completely failed?!"
"So, what exactly did Popovich do with this long timeout this time?!"
For a while, whether it was the Spurs fans or others at the scene, there was an uproar.
In such an uproar, Justin Duntmon dribbled the ball across half court.
"Huh?!"
Originally, many people at the scene thought that Justin Duntmon would look for Jackson and Duncan as usual, but what shocked the scene again was that Justin Duntmon actually looked for Yes who had been defending freely before!
"Justin Duntmon wants to single out Yes?!"
"Are you kidding?"
"Popovich called a timeout just to commit suicide?!"
For a moment, the Spurs fans at the scene were not confused, but shocked!
If Justin Duntmon really wanted to commit suicide, why didn't he use Parker and Ginobili to commit suicide? !
"Did Popovich's head explode because of Yes's fairy tale?"
Kenny Smith's face turned a little dark after hearing Barkley's comment.
Although most of the audience in the United States are on your side now, you should also pay attention to your image. Although there are not many Spurs fans, there are some!
However, although Barkley's words were not good, there was no problem. Justin Duntummon took the initiative to find Yes for a singles match. This was indeed a brain-twitch...
"No?!"
Just when Kenny Smith was wondering if Popovich had a brain-twitch, the figure that suddenly appeared in his field of vision made Kenny Smith excitedly stand up like Barkley next to him!
Duncan? !
"It's not Justin Duntummon who is going to play Yes, it's Duncan who is going to play Yes?!"
Almost at the moment when Kenny Smith stood up excitedly, the Spurs fans who were silent and shocked because they thought Justin Duntummon was going to play Yes were shocked again!
And Barkley, who just wondered if Popovich had a brain-twitch, now widened his eyes and couldn't say a word.
For a while, TNT's commentary once again returned to being dominated by Kenny Smith.
"Popovich is going to use Duncan to suppress Yes as a defensive free man on the offensive end!"
"I understand why Duncan has proven that he can't intimidate Ibaka, but he still stays on the court. As long as Duncan suppresses Yes on the offensive end, coupled with Bowen and Jackson's double-teaming on the defensive end, Yes will face three people in this game!"
"Every time Yes looks for a chance to pass the ball to Ibaka, it is an extreme challenge. It requires full concentration and all the energy, physical strength and attention. When Yes's energy, physical strength and attention are consumed by Duncan on the defensive end, Yes will never be able to pass Ibaka such a good opportunity as before!"
"As long as Yes can't pass that ball to Ibaka, Justin Duncan is still a defensive strong point who can defend two!"
Kenny Smith is very excited now.
This is really exciting!
"In the past, the tactics invented by the Nuggets to suppress Yes used the outside line, but this time, Popovich pioneered the inside line!"
"This is another god-level arrangement after Popovich used Duntumon in this game!"
Listening to Kenny Smith's praise of Popovich on TV, George Karl outside the TV was unhappy.
If I had Duncan, I would also use Duncan to suppress Yes at this time!
Can I use Martin and Camby, these rough guys, to suppress Yes? !
But...
This guy Pop is really amazing. He actually found a way to use the same method from Ibaka's defeat of Duntumon that Duncan can use to fight back!
One sit!
One sit!
One more sit!
Then a mediocre basketball with a not very large backward range, not very high take-off height, not very fast shooting speed, and not very beautiful shooting arc flew from Duncan's hands and Yes's head to the basket.
Looking at this mediocre shot.
Popovich on the sidelines clenched his fists tightly.
The Spurs fans in the stands were also watching nervously.
Swish!
When the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded, the originally silent AT&T Center was instantly lit up by the Spurs fans!
Along with the explosion of the Spurs fans were the sighs of other spectators!
82 to 80!
Duncan, who seemed ordinary, used the most ordinary skills to get a seemingly ordinary two points.
It's just that, at such a moment, any mediocre is no longer so mediocre!
Watching the Spurs surpass the score again on TV, James in front of the TV felt that his palms, which were tightly clenched and sweaty, finally loosened.
He had a complicated feeling about this game.
He hoped that the Supersonics would win and that Yes would be avenged in the finals.
He hoped that the Spurs would win and that Yes would be eliminated in the first round as the defending champion.
He never knew which one was dominant in his mind.
Now, he knew that the idea of hoping that the Spurs would win was dominant.
And such an idea made James look unhappy.
"Sure enough, I'm not a great competitor yet!"
Defeat the strongest and become the strongest!
This is the sign of a great competitor.
And the path he is taking now is evaluated by the outside public opinion as: join the strongest and become the strongest!
However!
No matter what, he can't cheer for Yes and the team Yes is in!
Duncan's two points are very, very important, which can be seen from the confidence that Popovich showed on the sidelines again.
"In this game, I not only need to win!"
"I want a perfect victory!"
"I want to limit Yes's score to less than 20 points for the first time in his career in this game!"
Duncan's score made Popovich very confident and made the Spurs fans at the scene crazy.
But the fans who supported Yes and the coconut powder reporters at the scene felt very uncomfortable at this time.
"Old Nelson didn't call a timeout?!"
"Is Old Nelson also confused?!"
The coconut powder reporters who thought that after the Spurs' attack, Old Nelson would call a timeout to arrange a response method, watching the game continue, they were really desperate!
"Old Nelson is not confused!"
"Because he knows that facing the Spurs' style of play, any arrangement he makes is useless!"
"Helping Yes avoid Duncan's sniper will take the risk of the collapse of the defensive system!"
Watching the Supersonics continue to attack without a timeout on the court, Popovich was not surprised. Old Nelson was his master, and he knew very well what kind of person Old Nelson was.
When things are impossible, he will completely hand over the game to his players. He is the kind of head coach who believes that his players can create miracles!
He respected Nelson, but Popovich was very disdainful of this. He believed more in the philosophy of his other master, Larry Brown!
"Players are tools!"
"Players are tools for victory!"
So, before Yes appeared.
Nelson won respect, and Larry Brown won victory and honor!
And he has always been clear that he doesn't want respect, he wants victory!
So he can learn Nelson's tactics, but he will never learn Nelson's philosophy!
"This game, this season, will be the most glorious game and the most glorious season for me and the Spurs!"
On the court, Rondo's dribbling was very slow, very, very slow.
When the Spurs had almost no interference with him, his dribbling was still so slow, of course not to show off like before by directing traffic.
Ye Xiaojiu this guy!
What must win? !
Why force yourself to such a degree? !
For those garbage, is it necessary to challenge Duncan, Jackson and Bowen alone on the court? !
I didn't care about you originally, but since you have been assisting me so diligently over the years, I will help you!
"After Duncan suppressed Yes on the offensive end, Bowen and Jackson's defensive intensity increased again!"
"When one person defends, the defensive intensity increases and becomes more aggressive, and they will worry about being caught by the offensive players. However, when two players double-team, there is no such concern at all. The reason why Bowen and Jackson did not raise the defensive intensity to the highest level before was because of physical considerations. Now, after Duncan shared part of the physical consumption, they can finally go all out!"
"Incredible, is this the double-team of Bowen and Jackson? This almost airtight posture? Not to mention passing the ball, even if It's impossible to catch the ball, right? !"
"The strongest double team in NBA history, this is the strongest double team in NBA history!"
"Yes is facing the strongest defense in NBA history in this game!"
"Yes's score is still 14 points now, right? Not only will the Sonics lose this game, but will Yes's single-game score be less than 30? Yes's first playoff game in his career where he scored less than 30 points? !"
"Don't even mention 30, Yes can't even get 20 points in this game!"
"What's really a desperate game!"
What's happening on TV now makes many people desperate!
But some people are excited and happy.
For example, Jordan.
Because of the fairy tale of Yes and Ibaka, the ground is full of broken glass, spilled red wine, and burned carpets that are still emitting this broken smell.
And he has already lit a new cigar in his mouth and held a new red wine in his hand.
Wonderful!
The only flaw is that the cracks on the TV make him feel a little uncomfortable.
The miracle failed!
The playoffs are less than 30 points!
The game is less than 20 points!
All this is so perfect!
Yes's previous statistics made Yes look like he was not an ordinary person.
Even Jordan felt that he and Yes were not in the same world, and Yes was high above.
Now, Yes is finally going to fall from the sky!
Although the TV has cracks and it is not so perfect, he can feel how difficult Yes's situation is now from the pictures on the TV!
The strongest defense!
The strongest opponent!
He, Michael Jordan, is willing to call Bowen and Jackson's double-team the strongest double-team!
It is stronger than the double-team he and Pippen used to double-team Magic Johnson!
What's more, there is Duncan's help in the middle!
Yes is finally dead this time!
Huh? !
At this moment, looking at the pictures from the broken TV, Jordan showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Incredible, too incredible?!"
"Facing the airtight defense of Bowen and Jackson, Rondo found the only chance to pass the ball after Yes forced a confrontation with Jackson!"
"Rondo actually passed the ball to Yes?!"
Bowen and Jackson looked dazed as they watched the basketball appear in Yes's hands again.
They have already increased the intensity of their defense to the maximum!
Especially Jackson, he increased the confrontation to the maximum, and Yes's chance of using force to knock him away and get the ball was very, very small!
But this time, Yes actually got the ball again!
Yes's strength confrontation shocked him!
At the same time, Rondo's passing ability also shocked him!
"But what if you get the ball!"
"This time, you can't pass the ball!"
Just when the coconut powder reporters at the scene were amazed that Rondo actually passed the ball to Yes, they saw Bowen and Jackson tightly clamped around Yes, and they might be clamped off even if they dribbled a little, and these coconut powder reporters became worried and uneasy again.
It is important for Yes to receive the ball, and it is even more important for Yes to find a chance to pass the ball through his own confrontation and dribbling. Both are indispensable!
But now, yes simply doesn't have enough dribbling space to find Ibaka!
"It's over, it's over, it's completely over this time!"
Lin Rui in the press box was so excited that she almost cried while holding Wang Han's hand.
Anyone who sees Bowen and Jackson's double-teaming will feel despair, deep despair!
"Yes, do you feel despair?!"
"This is my previous despair!"
Bowen's expression now is like crazy!
Seeing Yes's difficulties, he felt that all the sins he had suffered before were vindicated!
Justice finally defeated evil!
What? !
Just when Bowen and Jackson thought that Yes had no way to go, the stubborn figure hit Jackson twice and didn't knock Jackson out of position and pulled him up directly!
"Yes wants to force the pass?!"
"This is not a good passing opportunity!"
Seeing this scene on the court, Barkley's voice trembled with anxiety!
Back, back?
"No, that's not right?!"
"Yes, this is not a pass, Yes, this is a forced attack, forced attack under the extreme double-team of Bowen and Jackson?!"
Looking at the man who jumped high to meet the block of Jackson and Bowen, leaning back and forcibly throwing the basketball in his hand, the Spurs fans at the scene, the coconut powder reporters at the scene, everyone at the scene, and everyone in front of the TV all stared at the figure jumping high, watching the basketball flying to the basket!
For a moment, it seemed that the whole world was silent at this moment!
"Yes... crazy..."
Kobe looked at the screen on TV in a stagnant voice...
And Phil Jackson had closed his eyes.
Even Kobe thought Yes was crazy...
You can see how difficult this shot was!
Despair, this is real despair!
Just...
A swish!
Because the silence of the world became particularly crisp, the swish sound made Phil Jackson, who closed his eyes, instantly turn the look of despair and pity on his face into sluggishness!
How is this possible? !
When Phil Jackson opened his eyes, the score on TV had become 82 to 82!
And the Spurs fans who were crazy on TV just now, now all became as dazed as him!
How is this possible? !
Is this an accident? !
In the Lakers' meeting room, everyone stared at the man between Bowen and Jackson on TV in a daze!
"Can you hit the target with such a double team attack?!"
Kobe's head was buzzing.
He dared to shoot in such a situation, but he absolutely dared not guarantee that he could hit the target!
And look at Yes's expression and momentum now!
"He is sure, he is absolutely sure!"
"Yes is sure of such a shot!"
Yes is sure of such a shot? !
Kobe's excited voice made the entire Lakers meeting room feel as if Kobe was joking with them!
However, five minutes later, no one in the Lakers meeting room had such an idea anymore!
With 28 seconds left in the game, the score between the two sides was tied again!
94 to 94 tie!
In the last five minutes, Duncan of the Spurs and Yes of the Supersonics scored all the points in the last five minutes!
Duncan scored 14 points!
Yes scored 14 points!
The scores of the two were exactly the same!
But the difficulty of scoring for the two was very different!
"Because of Yes's sacrifice, the Supersonics locked up all the Spurs players except Duncan!"
"Because of Yes's strength, the Supersonics held on to the score!"
With 28 seconds left in the game, the Spurs called the last timeout. Including Popovich, every Spurs player's face was free of any pride or confidence.
Everyone's face was shaken!
Even the Spurs fans at the scene were terrified at this time.
The score was a tie, but the expressions on the faces of the Spurs fans were terrified!
"Because it's hard to imagine the horror that every time Duncan scores easily, Yes can return it!"
"In the fourth quarter of this game, Iverson is no longer the answer, Yes is the real answer!"
"If it weren't for Duncan's ability to score all the time, if it weren't for Duncan's continued rock-solidity, the Spurs would have collapsed in this game!"
The timeout ended, the Spurs attacked, and in 28 seconds, each team had an offensive opportunity.
"Duncan is suppressing the time!"
"In such a tense and crazy moment, even Popovich squatted down nervously, but Duncan was still so calm!"
"After suppressing the time, Duncan directly faced Yes and made a dry jump shot!"
When the basketball thrown by Duncan's dry jump shot hit the rim with 4 seconds left in the game, the ATandT Arena, which had been frightened throughout the second half, finally exploded completely!
And Popovich, who had been squatting on the ground nervously, jumped up from the ground excitedly!
"We won, this crazy game is finally over!"
At the same time, just as Popovich and the Spurs fans were going crazy...
"The Supersonics didn't call a timeout!"
"Yes is going to catch the baseline ball in the backcourt?!"
Not good!
The excited Popovich caught a glimpse of the figure who went around to the backcourt to catch the baseline ball, and he was so excited that he broke out in cold sweat all over his body!
"Yes!!!!!!!!!!"
Popovich almost screamed at the court at the top of his voice!
After the Spurs players on the court reacted, all five of them rushed up!
Even at the strongest side, Bowen, who still couldn't reach it, subconsciously jumped high and rushed over with his legs flying!
"Not good!"
Looking at Yes who received the ball in the backcourt, and Bowen who had already kicked over, Kobe even felt suffocated!
At this time, both Yes and Bowen's eyes were extremely firm.
The eyes of the two even made Kobe and everyone in front of the TV feel terrified!
This is the look of giving everything for the victory of this game!
"Bowen is asking Yes to choose life or shooting!"
Life?
Or shooting?
Others are guessing Yes's choice.
But Kobe closed his eyes firmly!
He didn't dare to look at the bloody scene that followed!
Life?
Shooting?
He felt Bowen's flying kick, his teammates' exclamations, and the silence of the whole audience!
71...73...75...77...79...81...
81!
But!
What he wants is victory!
81+20!
No one defends!
No one interferes!
Three-pointer from the backcourt!
Yes ignored Bowen's threat and directly threw the three-pointer in his hand out with a high pull-up!
Looking at Yes's final choice, Bowen's eyes flying in the air were full of despair!
Swipe!
The lights turned red and the ball went in!
In the silence of the whole world, in addition to the crisp sound of the basketball hitting the net, there was an equally crisp click...
97 to 96!
Lore!
Amid the painful wails, the world exploded!
