When Ginobili made a free throw, Nelson Sr. did not hesitate to use the last timeout in his hand, and they needed to plan the most after the game, five seconds, or 2-0 to completely push the opponent into the abyss of elimination, or a 1-1 draw to start over.

Billups frowned and looked at the scoreboard, he thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "BOSS, we should play the inside line, let Z take the main attack, even if it is unsuccessful, it can cause their fouls, so it is the safest." Then we played overtime, and even though it was San Antonio's territory, we were younger, we were more physical, and the old guys couldn't run anymore. ”

Old Nelson looked directly at his players and shook his head slowly.

"Three-point kill!" Everyone understands the old man's plan, worthy of the nickname 'mad scientist', and old Nelson's plan is really crazy.

Now the question is who will lead the attack.

The three-point kill has nothing to do with ability, the test is the big heart of the nerve nucleus, and if the ball is scored, you will be the hero of the team and leave a name in the team's history. Once the ball misses, you will become a sinner in the mouth of the fans, and you will often have to be criticized by the media and fans for a long time.

West felt hot all over the court, hitting six of eight three-point shots, and had a magical performance in three consecutive during the period, looking at the hesitation of his teammates, he glanced at old Nelson and said, "BOSS, I ......"

"Boss, I'm coming!" Chamberlain said firmly.

Everyone was surprised, in the entire playoffs, Chamberlain didn't shoot a single three-pointer, and at this time, to shoot a three-pointer, wouldn't it be looking for death?

Ellis voiced this concern, and Chamberlain smiled heartlessly, "The people of San Antonio must think so, too." ”

West pulled Chamberlain, and he whispered, "Let me come, Z, I feel more today." ”

Chamberlain patted him on the shoulder and said, "Delonti, you can't shoot this ball, you don't have a bet to participate in this game now!" ”

As soon as he heard this, West stopped talking, and everyone knew what this kind of lore meant, this is the playoffs! Indeed, West's playoff performance is very good, and now he has a lot of fans in places like San Francisco and Oakland, but these fans are not diehards, and if he misses this shot, then he will be hacked by the media again into a team cancer, so that his efforts after coming to the Warriors will be in vain!

This three-pointer is a gamble, and the only one who is eligible for the Warriors is Chamberlain.

Seeing his teammates' faces heavy, Chamberlain smiled and said, "Guys, what kind of damn expression are you guys on?" As if we've already lost? Damn, you know, I've also hit the lore! And I've been practicing three-point shooting all the time, haven't I? ”

On Christmas Eve last year, against the Heat in Miami, Chamberlain did hit a killer shot, and it was a three-pointer at the buzzer.

Billups was still worried, he thought for a moment and said, "I'd better do it, Z, my three-point shot should give you more confidence." ”

The timeout was almost over, and without Chamberlain refuting it, old Nelson made a decision, and he said decisively: "Let Z come, let God comment on this ball, the San Antonio people have a lot of pressure on the outside defense, Chauncey, you will be watched to death!" ”

Nelson Sr. was right, when the timeout ended, as soon as Billups came on the court, Ginobili blocked him from all directions, and Billups finally got the ball near the halfway line, and it was even more impossible to shoot a single three-pointer.

Seeing this, Chamberlain immediately rushed to the three-point line after serving to Billups, Duncan and Oberto were both inside the three-point line, and Chamberlain was empty.

Billups couldn't wait any longer, so he passed the ball to Chamberlain, who turned around to catch the ball, but the moment he turned around, the boiling blood suddenly froze, because he suddenly saw a thin figure in a white shirt appear in front of him, just blocking the way of the ball.

Bowen!

Old Bowen, who didn't show much in the whole game!

After all, Bowen is old, the playoff intensity is too much, he doesn't have much of a chance to perform, and his role in the Spurs is almost a trick, except for the occasional bright spot on the defensive end.

But this does not mean that the Warriors can underestimate him, Popovich's old spiciness, the Spurs' toughness is also famous in the NBA, Bowen can prove his strength when he starts this team, and being able to get Popovich's favor all the time shows how unique he is.

Many people just know that Bowen's defense is very good and dirty, and he can sacrifice himself for the sake of the team, but few people notice that Bowen, who is so physically weak, can get mixed in the NBA today, he relies on his excellent overall view and superior ball quotient.

Many people know that Duncan has a high ball quotient, and his bachelor's degree in psychology from Wake Forest University is prestigious, but Duncan often said in front of the media that there is someone on the team who is smarter than him, and that is Bowen. It's just that Bowen has always been low-key, which has been deliberately ignored.

When Bowen saw Chamberlain's eyes wandering and had been scanning the position outside the three-point line when he was serving, he knew the opponent's plan, he was silent, like a cobra ready to hunt, when Chamberlain waved the ball, Bowen, who had been pretending to chase Ellis's defense, suddenly attacked in front of Chamberlain and successfully broke the ball.

It was the first steal of the game by defensive titan Bowen, but everyone knows that it is more valuable than all the steals in the game combined.

After the steal, the time was only three and a half seconds, Bowen himself rushed forward with the ball, he did not look at Ginobili and Parker on the wings, although these two people ran faster, he just concentrated on rushing to the front court with the ball, Ellis had no choice but to reach out and want to foul Bowen.

But after Bowen rushed to the three-point line in the front court, he did not hesitate and rose directly from the ground!

Three-point shot!

"Huh!"

Hollow hit!

Chamberlain's heart suddenly sank to the bottom! The hearts of the Warriors players instantly sank to the bottom! The Warriors fans at the scene, I don't know how many people were disappointed, tears of disappointment!

Bowen only made one steal and only made one three-pointer, but it was this steal and this three-pointer that killed the Warriors.

The moment the three-pointer fell into the hoop, the rebound turned red, and the beep that represented the end of the game sounded sharply, and the game was over, and the Spurs won the most difficult victory 92-87.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the ATT Center Court was booed by the fans, not because they were booing the Warriors, but when they were gasping for breath to vent the pressure in their hearts: "Fuck, this game is so exciting, the players are all fucking big hearts, damn it, it took the last second to tell the winner!" ”

Hearing the beep, Duncan, who had always been calm and silent, was also excited, and the Spurs players, including the bench, rushed up, they laughed and hugged Bowen, Kent Thomas roared and picked Bowen up, and the others screamed and carried Bowen to their shoulders.

Chamberlain stood on the midfield line with a sluggish face, just now he chased here Bowen shot from a distance and hit three points, in fact, when Bowen stole the ball, Chamberlain was stunned, he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, just subconsciously chased up, and then watched the other party hit three points, stupidly overwhelmed.

West took off his jersey and slammed it to the floor, Billups and Ellis looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Harrington was better, and he yelled at Chamberlain: "Hey, Z, it's not a big deal, we've won one of their home games, and here are our two away games, we have more chances than these **** raises."

Compared with the disciple's gaffe, the old Nelson's behavior was much more natural, he smiled and walked up to shake hands with Popovich, the proud disciple, and said with a happy face: "Well done, boy, Bowen's old dog has a very sensitive sense of smell, but I guess it has nothing to do with you, right?" ”

The old man was very proud, so he didn't admit that he was defeated by Popovich.

Popovich laughed even more - please, he is the winner, who is happy if he is not happy? He laughed, "What does it matter? It's like what you gave in today's game, and what I saw was Chamberlain's rookie fighting to the death on the court, and he was such a great guy, hey, old man, don't you think he's wasted his talent in San Francisco? How about letting him come to me? ”

Old Nelson Ha Da laughed and said, "You can think about it when you dream, you better pray to God that I have lost my mind, otherwise no matter who it is, I can't get Z out of the team, and besides, remember that the Bird veteran clause is in my hands, no matter who quotes Z what price, I will match his offer!" ”

Popovich said-for-tat: "But the Warriors are not your team. ”

Old Nelson smiled mysteriously, leaned over to Popovich's side and whispered, "To tell you a secret, although this team is not mine, it will be no different from mine immediately." ”

Popovich's face was full of doubts, is Mullin going to be fired? Is the old Nelson going to grab the general manager and the head coach again?

This kind of thing is very common in the NBA, when Nelson Sr. was the general manager and head coach when he was with the Mavericks, and other teams have done it, such as Isaiah Thomas in the New York Knicks, such as Pat Riley in the Heat, for example, now Pat Riley is in the Heat, all like this.

Chamberlain was killed for the first time, and it was a playoff game, and what was even worse was that he had to bear most of the responsibility for this tragic killing, because the ball was lost in his hands.

At the end of the day, Chamberlain was just a nineteen-year-old boy, and he wasn't a perfect fighter yet.

Of course, he is going further and further on the path of the Perfect Warrior, and this encounter is a test, and if he can get through it, he will be closer to the Perfect Warrior.

However, the process of metamorphosis is always painful, and Chamberlain is really in pain now.

Just as he was about to go back, a man grabbed him from behind, and Chamberlain looked back and saw that it was Bowen, and said with an unhappy face: "What's the matter, are you going to show off in front of me?" Watch out for your teeth when I hit you! ”

Looking at Chamberlain's depressed look, Bowen Ha smiled and said, "This is not the SUPER-Z I am familiar with, you won't be killed by my lore, right?" Boy, everyone knows that sooner or later the alliance will be yours, but it's not now, we old men are still in our posts. ”

"I'll take you back to the grave at once." Chamberlain shot back viciously.
