Chapter 662: Defending the Home Arena One
Ginobili makes a left-handed three-point shot.
He is a well-known key man in the league, and in the 05 Finals, he single-handedly picked up the entire Pistons team and completed various offensive tasks assigned by Popovich.
Outside the three-point line, the perennial shooting rate is 38 percent, and the appearance is 39 percent, which can be called an outside marksman.
His eyes were like torches, looking at the ball frame, and his eyes revealed a firmness.
The basketball kept spinning in the air, and Yang Di quickly got his position under the basket.
"Huh!"
Hollow into the net.
Ginobili clenched his fists and yelled, his long hair fell out badly in the past two years, but the feeling did not fall, and at the critical moment, he still had to rely on his three points to make the scene.
Correspondingly, the Warriors called a timeout.
At 37.9 seconds, everyone looked up at the timer and score above the arena, and felt the excitement of dancing on the tip of a knife.
Win or lose in these last few tens of seconds, and every pass, shot, offensive run and cover for the Warriors is very important, and if a player makes a mistake and can't complete the task according to the route envisioned by the coach, it can end up being a big mistake.
The atmosphere was even more tense, and the fans clenched their fists to their chests and stood up one after another, covering their eyes timidly, not daring to watch this cruel scene.
In the frontcourt, the Warriors serve.
Yang Di appeared on the stage, and the camera was focused on him.
So far in this game, Yang Di has cut down 29 points and 12 rebounds, which is basically the same as the average data per game during the regular season.
The referee handed the ball to Danny Granger, who served on the sideline.
The Warriors players started to run, Yang Di ran from under the basket to the elbow area to cover Ray Allen, Ray Allen received the ball at the top of the arc, Yang Di turned and walked inside, Duncan and Elson blocked Yang Di.
Ray Allen moved outside to dribble, and the Spurs deliberately put back to Bowen on the perimeter after a timeout.
Bowen clung to Ray Allen, who beckoned Yang Di to come out, and the two were at the top of the arc, ready to start blocking the attack.
Yang Di sank his center of gravity, tied up his horse steps, and steadily blocked Bowen.
Ray Allen dribbled to the right and Duncan switched to follow him.
The Spurs didn't dare to let go of Ray Allen easily, and that was one of the most accurate shooting players in the league today!
Yang Di withdrew and cut to the basket, the strong back muscles squeezed Bowen away, and at the same time, the long arm rose, Bowen was behind him, and Yang Di couldn't help but squeeze in.
Ray Allen dribbled forward, exchanged to his left hand, then held the ball with both hands and hit the ground and passed to Yang Di.
Yang Di had already squeezed into the paint area at this time, caught the ball passed by Ray Allen, and immediately gathered all his strength to hit the back, and Bowen was hit by him and the whole person floated backwards.
Yang Di turned around and made a jumper, and Duncan came to the side to help defend.
In the air, Yang Di's waist and abdomen were straightened, and after a stay in the air, he pressed down on his wrist and pulled the ball out.
As everyone watched, the basketball fluttered through a trajectory.
"Huh!"
Respond to the network.
"In, in!"
"Yang Di, who has a big heart, threw a basketball at a critical moment!"
91-88, the Warriors scored 6 points in a row, of which Yang Di contributed 4 points, and now hit a key two-pointer, and the balance of victory suddenly tilted on the Warriors.
Spurs come back from a timeout and tee off on the sideline.
Spurs fans are wondering, can Ginobili continue the magic? Will Popovich opt for a quick two-pointer to indent the score in the final 26.3 seconds? What will the Warriors' defensive strategy look like, and the damn Yang Di won't run to the outside to block again, right? With this guy's bounce and reach.......
Unexpectedly, Ginobili, who had performed well at the crucial moment before, actually appeared in the service position.
It seems that Popovich may have arranged some other roles for Ginobili, or simply this is just a tactic, and the person who finally serves may also be the team's attack point.
The whistle blows, and Ginobili serves.
Duncan blocked the defending Fisher for Parker, who received the Ginobili ball and moved to the top of the arc, and Ginobili quickly got out of the run.
Passing by Duncan's side, Ginobili accelerated.
Duncan strides and moves slightly, keeping a tight block of Danny Granger who is following Ginobili.
"Fill in the position!"
Granger roared, and Yang Di let go of Duncan to defend Granger.
Parker dribbled and shook at this time, deceived the center of gravity of the defensive Fisher, and quickly broke inside, the Warriors' various defenses collapsed, and the Spurs actually seemed to choose to break through the fast two-point shot.
Yang Di took care of one or the other, and the move between Parker and Ginobili was undecided.
Parker consciously moved away from Yang Di and threw a low-handed layup to hit a two-pointer from the high board.
With 20.9 seconds, the Spurs trailed by just one point, 90-91.
The Spurs' choice is not surprising, and when time remains, choosing to shoot away from the basket will be the most bizarre decision, but what they didn't expect was that the Fisher defense, who was given high hopes, was like paper paste in front of Parker, and the French sports car was in full swing, and like Ginobili, scored their own iconic goals.
The game remains in suspense.
The Spurs followed with foul play, and in the midst of full-court pressing, Danny Granger couldn't deliver the ball and called a timeout.
During the pause, Montgomery arranged a serve tactic to deal with the tight defense of the whole court.
After Yang Di came on the court, he stood up in the front court, blocked Bowen who was chasing him for Ray Allen, and then the Spurs defense rotated, Yang Di ran to take the serve, and immediately suffered a deliberate foul from Duncan.
Yang Di walked to the free throw line and prepared to make a free throw.
The audience resounded like a tsunami of "MVP", although the selection result of this season's MVP is almost a certainty, but in the minds of Golden State fans, Yang Di is their MVP.
Yang Di took a deep breath, his chest was like a bulging bellows, and his strong chest muscles and arm contours were revealed, like a demonic beast.
Raise the basketball and gently dial it out.
"Huh!"
Hit.
"Huh!"
In the cheers, Yang Di stabilized his mood and received the ball and hit the second ball steadily.
Popovich called the Spurs' final timeout for the game.
The Spurs still arranged Parker's main offensive tactics, after Parker won the ball in the frontcourt, Duncan covered Ginobili, and Parker went deep inside to attract the Warriors to wrap the ball out.
Ginobili covered but didn't have much room to catch the ball, and Parker passed to Finley in the open space.
Veteran Finley made a three-point shot from the bottom corner when he was unguarded.
Miss!!
Yang Di jumped up, squeezed everyone away and focused on the rebound, then jumped a second time and grabbed the rebound, Parker and Elson pounced, crashed into him, and rolled out of the baseline together.
The referee blew for Elson's rebounding foul, and Yang Di got up from the floor and roared angrily with the ball.
I slapped the basketball with both hands, and I felt like I was going to blow it up.
The fans rose to applaud and let out screams and cheers of excitement!
Yang Di hit both free throws, and the Spurs lost the last chance to turn the tables, and after running out of time, they lost the first game against the Warriors.
