Chapter 253: The Last Moment (Thanks to Brother De and Brother Xi for the Reward)

The Spurs executed the last attack, yes, the last attack, not the last attack of the third quarter, but the last attack of the whole game!

Unknowingly, the fans watching the game in the ATT arena suddenly found that a game had reached the last minute, and it was already the 11th minute and 45 seconds of the fourth quarter, that is, there were only 15 seconds left, and the game was over.

The Warriors held the lead, giving them a one-point lead over the Spurs at 94-93.

With 15 seconds left, which is a crucial 15 seconds, the Spurs score a goal and they can knock out the Warriors and advance to the Western Conference Finals; And if the Warriors prevent this ball, then they will create a black eight miracle for two consecutive years - eliminating the first in the eighth and the first in the second round in the fifth place, both of which are the same miracles!

Popovich called a timeout, the old coach looked as solemn as ever, and the Spurs players were tired but still calm, gathering around Popovich to listen to the tactical arrangements. The stars are in awe and confidence in the veteran coach and believe that as long as they follow Popovich's arrangement, there will be no problem in scoring a goal.

Popovich trusts his men as well, glancing at everyone around him, including Ian Mashinmi, who hasn't played since coming to the playoffs, and everyone here is someone he has handpicked to join the Spurs, and everyone he can trust.

When the players gathered around, Popovich did not directly arrange the tactics, but first said calmly in a deep voice: "Congratulations, boys, you will enter the Western Conference Finals again, and you are one step closer to our fifth championship!" ”

Just one sentence, the momentum of the Spurs suddenly rose, even Duncan, who has always had a calm temperament, couldn't help but show excitement on his face, yes, we will enter the Western Conference finals after all, the Warriors are very powerful, but they are still the same as other teams, just our stepping stones, their bravery, but it shows that our honor is more dazzling.

The fans stood up, whether it was the Spurs fans, the Warriors fans, or the neutral fans, they looked nervously at the empty court, and no one dared to blink, because they knew that what was going to happen next was probably the most exciting attack of the season, and no matter what the reason for missing this opportunity, it would be enough to make them regret it for life.

At this time, a group of people walked into the court, they were all brightly dressed, and a few people in the center walked vigorously, showing the momentum that can prove that their identities are extremely unusual, in addition, there are several people around them, whether white or black, are all tough men, there is no doubt that these fat and strong men are naturally security guards.

The leader of these people was a handsome young man, and after entering the stadium, he led everyone to the stands at the top of the stadium. Stadiums, especially football and basketball courts, are closer to the back, the lower the ticket price and the worse the effect, these people obviously have the financial means to buy the first row of golden seats, but they don't do that, but to squeeze the back row.

"Richards, why are we going to watch the ball from behind the worst? What else can you see then? A middle-aged man frowned and asked the handsome young man, who was none other than Richards, who had dealt with Chamberlain several times.

Listening to the middle-aged man's question, Richards laughed, and he said loudly: "We are not here to watch the game today, if we want to watch the game, why don't we enter before the game?" We are looking at the future of the Warriors today, so we are better here, as for the reason, it is very simple, I learned a lot of philosophical words during this trip to ancient China, one of which is 'stand tall to see far'! ”

These people are extremely eye-catching in terms of clothing and physique, but no one pays attention to them after entering the stadium, who cares? At this moment, even if God comes, he can't steal the limelight from the Spurs and the Warriors!

"What just happened?" Someone asked, "How did the game play like this?" ”

Things in the fourth quarter are magical, the game between the two sides, it is really Mars hitting the earth!

Before the end of the third quarter, the Spurs also had the most offensive back, when Popovich called a timeout, and the situation was exactly the same. That attack on the spur sword went off the rails, and it was so exciting, even if it was so tense now, there are still many people reminiscing.

Parker organized the attack, he got the ball from the midfield and turned and rushed forward, West followed him like kraft candy, this time Parker did a double change of direction again, and there was also a sharp stop, just like he did when he shook West down before.

But this time, West was not shaken off at all, he was close to Parker's back, so close that even if Parker rushed all the way into the penalty area, there was still no chance to shoot.

But Parker didn't think about attacking, he suddenly passed the ball to Ginobili who received the ball on the wing, Ginobili got the ball without greed, and threw the ball out of the way, and then Duncan, who had helped Parker cover and stayed outside the three-point line, got the ball.

After receiving the ball, Duncan stabilized his body a little, and then jumped up and shot in Chamberlain's horrified gaze - three points!

No one expected Popovich to arrange the offense like this, and when Duncan was seen jumping up at the three-point line with the ball, the exclamations of Barkley and Smith in the TNT live broadcast room rang out at the same time: "Oh, shit, who dares to say that old Nelson is a mad scientist I must smoke him in the mouth, damn Popovich is crazy!" ”

Before they could finish speaking, the ball landed in the hoop with precision.

73-70, Duncan's three-pointer made the Spurs fans go crazy, and at the last critical moment, they chased the score to only three points!

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Spurs took advantage of this momentum to further launch a fierce attack, first Duncan shot and sent the game into the final quarter, and then Jackson's pass was stealed by Parker's fast hand, and then he passed to Ginobili to break fast, facing Ginobili who was taller than himself, West could only foul, and then Ginobili hit both free throws, and the Spurs chased the score to 74-73 in one fell swoop, overtaking the score!

Billups, a veteran with a big heart, became the Warriors' savior, as he slammed into the Spurs' three-second zone twice in a row to score points as the Warriors held their ground 77-74. The scores of the two sides alternated, and the fans in the audience were addicted to watching it, and many people directly took out the quick-acting heart-saving pills prepared in advance, this kind of game was too exciting.

Then Nelson Sr. called a timeout, and after coming back, Chamberlain scored two more points with a strong basket, and Parker ate an offensive foul at the critical moment, and he was still a little tender in the face of Billups, although he also won the FMVP. What made Spurs fans even more alarmed was that in the subsequent defense, the Spurs lost the rebound again, and Chamberlain grabbed the offensive rebound and completed the feat of playing 2+1 under Duncan's tearing.

Soon the Spurs stabilized their ground, Ginobili scored two points in the chaos, and Bowen passed the ball to assist Damon Stackhouse to score on a driving layup, and the Spurs took the score 81-86.

In the face of the Spurs' counterattack, Chamberlain resolutely counterattacked inside, he made a foul on the Spurs again, and suppressed the Spurs' momentum with two free throws, but then Duncan offset Chamberlain's free throws with a hook hand under the basket, and Billups and Chamberlain played a coordinated pass to the basket, and the latter held the ball and dunked.

Duncan was not to be outdone, he turned around and faced Chamberlain to break through, but he turned around like a guard and changed direction once, successfully shook off Chamberlain and scored a layup, the game became a contest between two super insiders, the score was still rising alternately, and neither side's lead had reached five points!

The turning point came later, when Chamberlain blocked a shot from Stackhouse, Billups passed the ball and assisted West for a layup, giving the Warriors back control at 92-87 for the first time in the entire fourth quarter, with a team lead reaching five points.

But then, Bowen and Ginobili hit three points in succession to overtake the score at once, and there were thirty-seven seconds left before the end of the game, and the Warriors patiently passed the ball and handed the last attack to Billups, who also lived up to high expectations, and he suddenly scored a basket in the restricted area with Chamberlain with only two seconds left on the offensive time, so that the rest was the current situation, and with 15 seconds left, the Warriors led 94-93.

A whistle blew, the last attack began, the players on both sides stepped onto the court with solemn faces, Duncan, Horry, Bowen, Ginobili, Parker, five players with big hearts stood in the half, and the five of them joined forces, representing the strongest offensive strength of the Spurs.

Across from them, Chamberlain, Evans, Barnes, Jackson, Billups, the five of them, are the Warriors' strongest defensive lineup, and there is no doubt that it will be a spear-and-shield collision, whether the Spurs' spears are sharper or the Warriors' shields are tougher, everything will be revealed fifteen seconds later.

But it's a bit ironic, because their style is just the opposite, the Warriors are good at offense, the Spurs are good at defense, and if this time the offense and defense are reversed, let the Warriors attack and let the Spurs defend, the fans believe that the game will be more exciting.

It's just that there will always be a lot of impermanence in life. Isn't life wonderful because there are so many incredible things?

Duncan served, Ginobili, Parker and Bowen, the three of them shot three arrows together, from the left, right, and center to the three-point line murderously, they only fell behind by one point, and they didn't need three-point tactics!

Horry received a pass from Duncan, and then he handed the ball to Parker with a pinpoint long pass.

"Quick! Block! Block! Billups roared hoarsely, the game has reached the most critical moment, this is about to see the bayonet red, he beckoned his teammates to quickly return to the defense, while chasing Parker tightly, Evans is even more strict with Duncan, as long as Duncan dares to touch the ball, he dares to foul!

Physical strength has never been Parker's strong point, he only rested for two minutes in this game, and now he is almost tired of heart failure, but when he got the ball, he still mustered up the remaining physical strength, and immediately became energetic, and one person held the ball in the Warriors' interior line to intersperse attacks, like a sharp knife into the human body.

The ball was beating fast under Parker's control, and he received, dribbled, accelerated, and all three actions in one go, and in a few steps, he had already stepped into the penalty area.

On the left side, Bowen slowed down and walked diagonally, with a foxtrot pace, echoing Parker from afar, swinging out and ready to meet Parker.
