basketball myth

The fifth game of the playoffs between the Timberwolves and the Spurs started smoothly under the eyes of everyone.

In such a battle at Tianwang Mountain, it stands to reason that the Spurs should definitely win, so they must be as powerful as swallowing up mountains and rivers.

Unfortunately, they were a little nervous and timid at the beginning, and they didn't play very smoothly.

On the contrary, the Timberwolves played very smoothly after the start, and the players did not seem to be arrogant or careless. After a while, they performed well on the field.

Therefore, after the first quarter, the Spurs unfortunately fell behind 15:24 because they were unable to find their form.

Such a dangerous situation quickly made the Spurs fans at the scene feel cold. Although the fans' enthusiasm for support did not drop much immediately, their worries and worries increased involuntarily, changing the atmosphere at the scene.

However, when the game came to the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly turned upside down again!

The Spurs, under the leadership of the old Big Three, finally made a proficient offensive score, but then it was the turn of the Timberwolves players to fall into a vicious cycle of frequent strikes.

And until the end of the first half, the two sides coincidentally tied the score again, 38:38, with no one taking advantage of the other.

Faced with such a strange situation, not only the home fans of the Spurs, but also more fans watching the game outside the court were stunned, and their mood became completely uncalm.

The performance of both teams in the first half was like a roller coaster, with their offensive status taking turns. It was not like they were fighting a battle at Tianwang Mountain, but rather they were competing to see who was more unstable, so the fans

No one dared to continue to look forward to the performance of both sides in the second half.

In the first half of the third quarter, Li Feng and the Timberwolves still found it difficult to find the basket position, and their performance was very average. The Spurs maintained their normal scoring tendency. But then, in the second half of the third quarter, another round

The Spurs occasionally started to convulse and could not score easily. However, the Timberwolves regained their offensive status and almost recovered all the points.

Throughout the first three quarters of the game, the two teams completely aroused the nerves of all the fans, and the intermittent roller coaster-like performances left the fans baffled.

The fans could only watch, becoming more and more confused. No one could figure out what happened to the two teams in the field tonight.

In fact, this situation was not deliberately created by the Timberwolves and Spurs tonight.

All their abnormal performance tonight should be just a coincidence. Neither of them wants this. They both really want to win the game. But some emergencies are really beyond their control, and weird situations will naturally appear. No,

under their control.

And when the fourth quarter of the game came, fans from both sides and other neutral spectators suddenly became more curious and even anxious. They couldn't help but want to know the next performance of both teams on the field and whether it would continue.

It's like riding a roller coaster like before.

Soon after, they were even more helpless to discover that the situation on the field had changed again!

In the fourth quarter of the game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs, both teams became completely incapable of attacking. They were busy trying to strike, and neither of them had a few smooth attacks. Their state was only down, not up.

It was no longer a roller coaster-like performance, but at the same time it seemed as if it had fallen directly off a cliff.

And it was not until the end of the game that both teams barely scored more than 70 points, which wasted all the nervous anticipation before the game.

In such a huge battle at Tianwang Mountain, neither side was able to show a perfect state, which was indeed a bit disappointing.

However, no matter what, the mood of both sides on the court for the decisive victory of the game still exists.

And sometimes, accidents are part of the game, it just depends on who can adapt more. The fans felt boring, weird, and disappointed, but there was no big difference between the players in the middle of the field. They were playing non-stop all night

They work hard, but sometimes they score easily, and sometimes it's difficult to score. It's just that simple. To say that tonight's battle at Tianwang Mountain is very weird, it can only be said that everything is a coincidence, and they can't explain it.

.

…

Due to the fact that the scores of the previous playoff games between the Timberwolves and the Spurs were in a state of anxiety, almost no one ended up with a big lead.

Therefore, when the Spurs suddenly led the Timberwolves by six points in the last twenty seconds tonight, it was already a considerable point difference.

The Spurs fans were suddenly surprised and delighted. They had unknowingly witnessed the various fights between the Spurs and their opponent, the Timberwolves, and yet they were still leading by six points in the last twenty seconds. Isn't this proof?

Has the rhythm of victory arrived?

At the same moment, almost all the fans watching the game came out of their previous confusion, helplessness, and inexplicable emotions, and looked at this seemingly sudden score in shock.

At 78:72, the Spurs unexpectedly led by 6 points quietly. They were suddenly expected to win the battle at Tianwangshan and continue to compete in the playoffs!

In fact, at this moment, even many players on the Timberwolves still don't understand what's going on on the field.

The performance of both sides tonight was obviously pretty bad. The scoring was also intermittent, and the fourth quarter was even more difficult. Why did the Spurs quietly take the lead at the last moment and still have the ball?

Then, everyone in the Timberwolves quickly became very unwilling, and immediately under Rambis's arrangement, they immediately implemented foul tactics.

In this night's game, although their offensive state may be inconsistent, it does not mean that they are not working hard. They are still extremely eager to win. Even if the current situation is already very difficult, they at least have to scare the Spurs into a cold sweat.

Otherwise, if they really failed, they would still feel depressed that they had lost for no reason.

Besides, it's not like they really have no chance at all.

As for the Timberwolves who were about to execute foul tactics, they didn't have much choice but to decisively deal with Duncan.

They also know that although Duncan's free throw shooting percentage is still somewhat guaranteed at critical moments, compared with several other Spurs players, his average shooting percentage will still be lower. The Timberwolves fouled him and won the penalty.

The opportunities will be greater.

Since the game ended up like this inexplicably, none of the Timberwolves players will be stingy with personal fouls.

Pekovic hit Duncan in time, and while committing his fifth foul, he also sent Duncan to the free throw line as he wished.

There were 23 seconds left in the game, the Spurs were already leading by 6 points, and Duncan had to make a free throw.

In this situation, it seems that they are only a few steps away from winning the game.

The Spurs fans at the scene began to cheer and secretly pray for Duncan's free throw.

Duncan then slowly walked to the free throw line, adjusted his mood, and was about to take a shot.

Looking at the mature, steady and unsmiling expression on his face, the certainty that the first free throw will go into the frame is really not too small.

Subsequently, Duncan lived up to his expectations and quickly made the free throw. He also quickly extended his arms and clenched his fists in front of his face to celebrate.

The Spurs fans are even happier, thinking that they will win this game completely. They are not dead in the playoffs yet, and they still have a chance to move forward this season.

Seeing this situation, Li Feng finally couldn't help but quickly walked to Duncan's side, and solemnly said to Duncan who was about to take the second penalty: "Hey, Tim, I bet you will make the next shot."

, not only can’t make a shot, but we will also steal the rebound!”

After finishing the trash talk that was deliberately used to disturb people, he ignored Duncan's possible answers and reactions and quickly returned to his original position.

The next moment, Duncan gently picked up the ball and was about to shoot, but he couldn't help but frown, not knowing what he was thinking of.

After a moment, he tried hard to pull out the basketball in his hand.

However, the arc after the shot was obviously a little flat!

Snap!

The basketball just brushed against the front edge of the basket and immediately fell down, and was hugged by Kevin Love.

And Love didn't even have time to call a timeout, so he skillfully threw the basketball at Li Feng, who was already sprinting towards the front court!

Li Feng turned sideways while running and caught the basketball as he wished. Then, facing the double encirclement of Tony Parker and Danny Green, he seemed to be forcing a layup to counterattack and score.

But as soon as he stepped in front of the three-point line, he suddenly jumped up without warning. Then, he decisively moved the ball and shot for a three-pointer!

He has always believed that when chasing points, only three-pointers are the best choice.

"Crack!"

The basketball hit the center of the backboard hard and bounced into the frame in an instant, and it went in smoothly!

The first step of the Timberwolves' foul play was completed quickly, taking only five seconds. There were still 18 seconds left on the court, and everything was still possible!
