All-round Athlete

Chapter 929: No. 21 Rookie

"Lore! Lore!"

The Lakers bench has jumped up, they began to celebrate the victory.

However, in the next second, the referee made a pause gesture. The referee believed that the game was not over yet. They had to determine whether it was a lore or a quasi-lore. Time, whether time has really run out.

The referees gathered in front of the small screen, watching the video carefully, while the scene was completely silent. On the scene, in front of the TV, countless people were waiting for the referee's final verdict!

The referee is still confirming and discussing, and the broadcaster has given a slow-motion replay of the ball just now.

"Looks like the ball went into the box first!"

"That's right, the moment the goal is scored, there should still be time."

"I will return the watch, I will definitely return the watch, and this is the home court of the Spurs, so I will definitely return the watch. The Spurs still have a chance!"

The fans at the scene also saw the slow-motion replay on the big screen, and the feeling of narrow escape made them boil instantly.

Returning to the table is certain. The three referees have already reached a consensus, but the key is how much time should be given to the Spurs.

0.2 seconds? 0.3 seconds? 0.4 seconds? What is certain is that it is definitely less than 1 second, not even 0.5 seconds.

The referee is extremely cautious. This is the seventh game of the series, and it is a goal scored at the last moment of the game. It is even more related to the first 0-3 comeback in history. If there is a dispute at this time , The saliva of public opinion alone can drown these referees, so every 0.1 seconds, the referees will be careful.

Finally, the referee gave a conclusion.

"0.4 seconds! The referee returned the clock for 0.4 seconds! From the video, it was almost at this time when the goal was scored. This time the referee's penalty is still very fair." The commentator said.

"0.4 seconds, it turned out to be 0.4 seconds! Have you forgotten that in the Western Conference semifinals of the 2004 playoffs, the Lakers played against the Spurs, and that time was also 0.4 seconds! The history is surprisingly similar, but this time it was the Spurs Hold the last 0.4 seconds!" The guest next to him suddenly said.

Many young fans may have only heard about this incident from the mouths of their predecessors, while those slightly older fans recalled that scene one after another.

In the Western Conference Semifinals of 2004, the Lakers' F4 combination had high hopes, but in the Western Conference Semifinals, they encountered the Spurs who won the championship last year. At 11.5 seconds, Kobe made a quasi-lore, and the Lakers led 72 to 71. The Spurs' attack was blocked, and there were only 5.4 seconds left in the last attack. Duncan faced O'Neal's defense, and when his body lost balance, he threw the ball. The Spurs took the lead 73-72. Exactly 0.4 seconds.

Then, it was Fisher's 0.4-second lore that helped the Lakers win the battle of Tianwangshan! That lore has been praised by fans to this day.

That lore is exactly ten years from now, and these ten years seem to be a reincarnation. Today, the referee gave the Spurs 0.4 seconds, which is the same time as Fisher's lore ten years ago.

...

0.4 seconds means that the ball will be thrown out immediately after taking the ball, and no opportunity to stop the ball is allowed. This was the case with Fisher's lore that year. He didn't hesitate after catching the ball and threw it towards the basket. Later, according to the slow-motion playback, the moment the ball was shot, there was 0.1 seconds left before the end of the game, and it was too late. Even from catching the ball to shooting, it takes 0.3 seconds at the fastest.

At the same time, the Spurs still have to face a choice, whether they want two points or three points. A two-pointer can be tied, and then the two sides enter overtime, and a three-pointer, the Spurs can directly overtake the score and give the Lakers a counter-lore!

And the Lakers have only one choice, and that is to defend three-pointers with all their strength! If a two-pointer is scored, it will be overtime at best, and if a three-pointer is scored, the Lakers will lose, and they will bid farewell to this year's playoffs.

No one can guess what tactics Popovich, the old fox, will use. It seems hopeful to ask for a two-pointer. After all, the focus of the Lakers' defense is the three-pointer, but Popovich may also counterattack. Do it the way you want. Even if the Spurs choose a three-pointer, no one will question it, because that is Popovich's choice.

The game restarted, the Lakers replaced the five players with the best athletic ability, and there was only 0.4 seconds left. At this time, the awareness of assisting defense, supplementary defense, etc. is no longer important, because the Spurs simply cannot Passing, this time is a one-on-one defense, and only needs to be defended once, so athletic ability has become the most important factor.

Duncan was about to serve, but before the ball was sent, Popovich requested a timeout.

"Popovich used this serve to test out the defensive deployment of the Lakers. A short timeout of 20 seconds is enough for Popovich to arrange new tactics." The commentator said.

The 20-second pause was fleeting, and the players returned to the court once again, this time with Manu Ginobili serving.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the Spurs players immediately scattered and rushed towards the space where there was space.

I saw Danny Green running back, and suddenly flashed an open space to catch the ball.

"Be careful Green!"

As soon as the words fell, Bazemore gave Fengchu the gap. At the same time, Leonard bowed in a low position and stretched out his arms to catch the ball.

"Leonard has a chance!"

At this moment, Ginobili threw the ball out, he did not throw the ball outside, but threw it directly towards the basket.

"A lob? It's an alley-oop!"

Parker suddenly bent down, sprang out from the gap, rushed towards the basket, and then jumped up.

"Is it Parker? Could it be Parker's alley-oop! Playing an alley-oop with a point guard, who would have imagined this kind of tactic, only Popovich!"

Whiteside rushed over immediately. He believed that with his height, wingspan and jumping, Parker would never catch the ball.

But Parker is just a trap, he is to attract the attention of the Lakers. Another person leaped high, appeared in the midair, intercepted the basketball in the air with one hand, and with a light push, the basketball turned into a beautiful arc and flew towards the basket.

On the tall back, there is such a number printed: 21!

It is the No. 21 rookie of the Spurs, Tim Duncan!

He completed this attack with an alley-oop one-handed throw.

The basketball is still flying in the air, but the lights on the backboard are already on.

"Oops!" Gasol turned his head and looked at the trajectory of the basketball flying in the air. Just by intuition, Gasol could feel that the ball was probably scored.

"Pfft!" The basketball accurately entered the basket.

"Go in! Go in! Goal in 0.4 seconds, Duncan, it's Duncan, he saved the Spurs!"

"Same as ten years ago, a goal in 0.4 seconds. Ten years ago, the Lakers knocked down the Spurs in 0.4 seconds, and today, ten years later, the Spurs gave the Lakers a heavy blow in the same way! It's a pity It's a two-pointer, if it's a three-pointer, the Lakers are going home!"

"Is this the Lakers repaying the debt for the lore ten years ago? The same 0.4 seconds, the same goal. But today God seems to have left a glimmer of hope for the Lakers, 135 to 135, followed by overtime !"

"Overtime, this wonderful contest is finally going to overtime!"

The scene instantly fell into a boil, the fans jumped up excitedly, they cheered, and they were extremely grateful that Duncan pulled the Spurs back from the brink of death, that kind of exhilaration after the disaster, that The heartbeat of scoring a goal at the last moment is really hard to describe in words.

The Lakers looked frustrated. They never expected that in 0.4 seconds, the Spurs turned the tables and the cooked duck flew away!

D'Antoni sighed. There is really no way to meet a player like Duncan. This is the ability of superstars. They make the impossible possible. For a coach, when encountering a superstar's super performance, perhaps he can only pray that his luck will be the same.

Moreover, Popovich's tactical arrangement this time is indeed good enough. Ginobili serves, Parker attracts Whiteside's attention, and Duncan uses an alley-oop throw to complete the shot. The combination of GDP is perfect. Completed this attack.

D'Antoni cheered up forcibly, and he comforted his players: "It's okay, the game is not over yet, we are still tied, and there will be overtime. By then, we must beat the Spurs!"

...

"Don't be too happy, we haven't won yet, we just entered overtime!" Popovich's face was still stern, and his words poured cold water on the Spurs players. Let them calm down instantly.

The Spurs playing at home should be less afraid of overtime. Everyone knows that the longer they play at home, the more advantage the home team has. But another factor that the Spurs have to consider is age.

The young Spurs are indeed a bit older, and the "Mediterranean" on Ginobili's head can make people feel that the years are not forgiving. As for the No. 21 rookie, he is already 38 years old. It is really difficult for him to play more than 40 minutes in the high-intensity playoffs.

It is said that the Spurs' substitutes are similar to the starters, and the effect of being a substitute is the same as being a starter, but when it comes to the critical time, they still have to rely on the "old and not fading" GDP combination.

...

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse! The Spurs really deserve to be a top team, and Popovich is also worthy of being a top coach in the NBA. At least in the tactical game just now, D'Antoni was completely defeated by Popovich." Vichy..." Zhang Guan looked at the opposite side, the Spurs' GDP combination was still on the court, and the other two players were Leonard and Danny Green.

"And Duncan, is this guy really 38 years old? No. 21 rookie, this title really lives up to his name..."

...

Jump ball, overtime begins.
