I am Really an Insider

Tim Duncan may be experiencing the most thrilling, most critical and darkest nine minutes of his career.

Because in these critical 9 minutes from the beginning of the fourth quarter to now, he did not score a single goal in a sports game.

At this time, the Spurs and the Pacers, the two most sophisticated meat grinders, are in the final competition, both hoping to tear each other into pieces.

The Spurs were only 3 points away from tying the score, and Duncan stepped to the free throw line.

It can be said that Duncan has never been more nervous when facing free throws, never before.

Because before that, Duncan only scored 4 free throws in 9 attempts.

The fierce confrontation obliterated Duncan's soft touch.

But now, what's even more terrible is that Duncan has no strength.

He tried to regulate his breathing, but to no avail.

"Come on Tim, you will definitely make it, Kang Mang! My number one power forward!"

At this time, Wayne, who was at the designated position under the basket, clapped his hands and gave Duncan "encouragement."

This made Duncan, who was already exhausted, completely lose his shooting rhythm.

So the first penalty was missed!

"No, 4 out of 10 free throws. Tim Duncan's free throw shooting percentage today is too bad!"

Miller looked at Wayne and smiled.

The most humble person is invincible!

You may be the first person in the league who can use trash talk to interfere with Duncan's missed free throws.

On the second penalty, Duncan was still trying to adjust his breathing.

This time, under the referee's warning, Wayne said nothing.

but

"Bang!"

"I missed two free throws. Tim Duncan actually missed both free throws! What happened? Who can tell me what happened!"

Mike Brin's eyes widened, while Shi Buddha put his hands in front of his mouth, his eyes looking very frightened.

Yes, panic.

This is definitely the darkest moment of his career!

24 points, 11 rebounds, and a shooting percentage of 44%. This is the data Duncan has handed over so far.

Well, it seems pretty good. Compared to the previous games, it was much better.

But his performance in the past 9 minutes made the data he got at this time worthless.

Many people, including Mike Breen, want to know one thing - what happened to Duncan?

Why did he almost collapse in the fourth quarter?

injured?

Too impatient?

In fact, the answer is not as complicated as people think.

Duncan was simply drained.

Wayne's endless isolations against Duncan in the second and third quarters allowed him to steal Duncan's last 9 minutes.

With double teams and singles attrition, the Pacers really have to deal with one person as a team.

After grabbing the rebound, the Pacers quickly attacked.

At this time, it was just over two minutes and less than three minutes before the end of the game.

As long as you persist for a few more rounds, Tianwang Mountain will be over.

The end of Tianwang Mountain means that the championship is basically guaranteed!

At this time, Wayne continued to hold the ball outside the three-point line.

But this time as soon as he got the ball, Bowen came up roughly and double-teamed with Mohammed.

Wayne held the basketball high, and he really wanted to give Bowen an elbow in the process.

But the last time he did this, Bowen exaggeratedly held his nose and fell to the ground with an innocent look on his face, which won the referee's sympathy and allowed Wayne to take the foul.

Now the game is reaching a critical moment, and Wayne doesn't want to lose the ball because of this kind of thing.

So he suppressed the fighting spirit in his body and passed the ball to Artest.

Yasuko, who has already awarded himself the FMVP trophy, catches and shoots, as confident as Jordan.

All Pacers fans raised their arms in advance. However, this crucial mid-range shot ended in a hammer blow.

"So defensive!" Popovich waved his arm, but the next second, his smile froze.

Because Wayne jumped high and hit the ball into the frame before Duncan could no longer jump.

"Beautiful tip-in, Wayne scored again! After this goal, the Spurs fell behind by 5 points! The situation is not good, and the San Antonio people have been pushed to the edge of the cliff!

Wei's performance was outstanding. He won many head-to-head duels with Duncan today!

Believe me, this will definitely be the masterpiece of Wei's career! "

After Wayne scored, he didn't look at Duncan. Instead, he hooked his fingers at a Spurs No. 5 who looked like Will Smith.

Robert Horry, luckily he is there.

When Tim Duncan was experiencing the darkest moment of his career, Horry, who only scored 3 points in the first three quarters, seemed to turn himself into the omnipotent Duncan in the fourth quarter.

He scored 10 points with sudden shots from inside and outside, and hit consecutive shots at the critical moment when the Spurs fell behind.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Spurs to be only 5 points behind.

Robert Horry, a veritable killer at critical moments!

He was never a superstar, and his career-high scoring season was only 12 points.

But he has one of the best talents - a big heart!

He has a 100% winning rate in the finals and won two rings in the first three seasons of his career.

Whether in Mosaic or the Lakers, as long as he is sent out at critical moments, he will never let you down.

In Wayne's previous life, people even joked that Horry and Cole dominated the 1990s and early 21st century.

Because they won twelve of the fourteen championships from 1994 to 2007!

More terrifying than Bird and Moji during the Black and White Hegemony period!

This is the real black and white struggle for hegemony!

Some thought Horry was simply lucky.

But in the fourth game of the 2001-02 Western Conference Finals, when Horry successfully defeated the Kings, he faced Divac's question. This is Horry's answer.

"Luck refers to those who are unprepared. Look at this shot. I made it in one go. This shot is definitely not luck because I have done it many times in my career."

Well, Horry is always confident when it comes to key shots.

Because he has no pressure on this. Anyway, if he wins, it belongs to him, and if he loses, it belongs to the superstar of the team.

He is just a little role player, a role player who can always kill the game!

This mentality allowed Horry to make contributions at critical moments many times.

The same is true today. If it weren't for Horry, the Pacers could already think about how to play Game 6.

In this offense, Horry once again received the basketball from outside the three-point line, but Wayne stayed close to him.

Horry tried to shake Wayne's center of gravity with a fake shot, but failed.

Because on the last ball, Wayne was deceived by Horry's fake shot, causing Miller, who was covering up, to be dunked by Horry.

This time, Wayne won't be fooled again.

Horry had no choice but to lob the ball to Duncan, so Wayne worked tirelessly towards Duncan.

Duncan watched Wayne running over, feeling helpless to death.

Can you please stop touching me!

Stop falling in love with me!

But no matter how reluctant Duncan was, Wayne still had to do it.

So before Wayne doubled up, he gave the ball to Horry again.

"Hey, this is just a joke between two people." Director Zhang said angrily, can you be as confident as Xiao Wei?

Horry caught the ball and shot this time, but Wayne's defense was faster than he thought!

Wayne almost missed Horry with this shot.

Although not covered, it is indeed a serious interference.

However, the basketball still miraculously jumped into the net.

It's like the kind of goal in the 2K game that is clearly confused but still scored.

Just one word: very fake!

Horry scored 13 points in a single quarter!

"Beautiful, Robert Horry made another incredible shot! Wei only missed the basketball, but Horry was still solid! 2 points, and now the difference between the two sides is only 2 points!"

Everyone's heart was beating out of their chests. This was definitely one of the most exciting Tianwangshan battles in NBA history.

Although he scored, Horry felt a chill down his spine.

That No. 99, doesn’t he know what it means to be tired? ?

He was so quick to defend just now!

Horry, who never panics, panicked this time.

Because he didn't know if he could complete the shot so calmly next time.

The game continued, the Pacers still followed the same old routine, Wayne hit Duncan in a pick-and-roll!

If Wayne had beaten Duncan before, it was just to consume him.

So now, Duncan is really a loophole.

He was so tired that his steps seemed as heavy as lead.

After Wayne walked around the screen, he looked up at the frame and paused, seemingly preparing to shoot.

Duncan immediately raised his arms to interfere, but the next second, Wayne took a big step and broke through Duncan.

Duncan knew he had to shift his weight to keep up, but his body wouldn't respond.

"Baifu, Wei is really an unconventional inside player. He used a fake move to shake off Duncan and hit a jumper, and there it is! The Pacers are still leading,"

Wayne scored again against Duncan. There is no doubt that no one will question whether Wayne is qualified to win FMVP.

Because today, he really embarrassed the league's number one power forward!

Wayne and Horry, these two guys were fighting like gods in the fourth quarter, and neither one could stop the other.

Ginobili also wanted to stand up, so he chose to make a pull-up jumper after breaking through.

But unfortunately, he is not as good as Horry today.

The basketball knocked out of the frame, and Wayne immediately rushed back to the basket to grab the rebound.

However, Duncan made an action that might redeem himself.

He caught Xiao Ao and used his last remaining strength to jump before Wayne arrived.

In the air, using a posture that was almost like playing volleyball, the basketball flew beyond the three-point line!

At this time, Robert Horry was standing in that position, unmarked!

"Horry got another second chance to attack, what will happen this time!?"

Horry jumped up and caught the basketball. When he landed, Wayne was only two steps away from him.

"Fuck!" Horry cursed secretly, this guy is really a tireless defense monster!

You are everywhere!

Are you annoyed?

Horry hesitated, and if he remembered correctly, this was his first hesitation at a critical moment.

Wayne's defensive deterrence put a lot of psychological pressure on Horry.

In the end, Horry voted. He had no choice at all.

But because he hesitated for a few tenths of a second, he missed the best opportunity to shoot.

He threw this ball in a hurry due to Wayne's interference, and he didn't even complete the shooting action.

The legend of Robert Horry was broken by Wayne!

"Bang!"

"No, Robert Horry didn't score this key goal! The San Antonio Spurs, they almost lost their last chance!"

O'Neal hurriedly grabbed the rebound and the Pacers timed out.

Duncan covered his head with his hands. Although Horry's performance was amazing enough, it was still difficult for him to accept the fact that Horry missed the shot just now.

And when Horry, who was also disappointed, was about to leave the game, Wayne wagged his finger in front of him.

"Pass me, if you don't dare to shoot, just pass me! There is only one key ball king in Indianapolis, me."

"This" Horimu circled.

Damn, what kind of mental quality is this? You don’t forget to pretend to be beeping at this time!

You Larry Bird II, you!

Depend on!

However, this did affect Horry's mentality.

He is no longer so confident.

"We still have a chance, and we must guard against their next attack. It's just 5 points behind, which is not fatal!" Popovich was still trying to invigorate the players.

But everyone is really not excited anymore.

Especially Duncan.

He felt like every muscle in his body no longer belonged to him.

His darkest moment is not over yet.

After returning from the timeout, Wayne prepared to execute the decisive shot.

If this attack goes in, the Spurs' confidence will also be shattered and the game will be over.

This time Wayne did not hold the ball, but Payton controlled the ball and pressed time outside the three-point line.

When there were only 5 seconds left in the 24-second attack time, Wayne suddenly came out and Payton passed the ball tacitly.

However

Bruce Bowen suddenly rushed out and destroyed Payton's pass to Wayne. He had long expected that the Pacers would cooperate like this!

Bowen also wants to prove that his defensive skills are not limited to those dirty tricks!

Although Bowen did not grab the basketball directly, the ball was redirected, hit Wayne's thigh and bounced out of bounds!

Seeing this situation, Reggie Miller, who was near the baseline, suddenly started to move. The 40-year-old man dived and fished the ball back regardless of the consequences.

The next second, Miller's head slammed into the technical platform, and blood immediately poured out.

There is no championship so far in his career, only three third teams.

Miller was not the best player of his generation, but why is he always respected and mentioned?

Because he is a real fighter!

Against the intensity of defense in the 1990s, the skinny Miller remained fearless.

"I don't want people to think Jordan and I are rivals, but to me, rivalry means we're equal.

But Jordan and I are not equal. He is much better than me, and I don't have the same talent as him.

But I just like playing against him. I know many players will bow to Jordan, but I will never!

Maybe I should bow to him, but I'm not born that way. "

This is what Miller once said when talking about Jordan. This is the psychological portrayal of a fighter.

He's not afraid of "gods", so would he be afraid of being hit on the head?

Therefore, in this save, Miller did not hesitate even for a tenth of a second!

After the ball was recovered, Wayne got the ball steadily one step beyond the three-point line.

Then, amid Horry's busy interference, he took action calmly.

"It's over, Reggie!" Wayne muttered.

"brush!"

"Beep~~~"

"boom!"

Wayne beat the buzzer from a long distance, raised the knife and dropped it, as if an earthquake had occurred on the scene!

When Horry had lost his magical aura, Wayne, the strongest first-year player in the 21st century, received a pass from the fighter in the 1990s and still hit the shot, completing the fatal blow!

He continued his crazy performance!

Wayne is right, there is only one clutch ball king in Indianapolis!

Wayne turned around to celebrate with Miller, but saw the guy getting up with blood on his face.

Miller hit his head on the edge of the technical stage, leaving a big gash on his left eyebrow.

But his expression remained calm, and he did not forget to give Wayne a thumbs up.

"You led us to victory, boy."

"Your blood will not be in vain, Reggie. Game 5 is ours, and the championship is ours!" Wayne walked up and fist bumped with Miller.

This is like the handover of two generations of fighters!

Popovich looked at the red light on the backboard and the 8-point difference. Suddenly he felt weak in his legs and fell to the bench.

This is really the first time he has encountered such a tenacious opponent.

They can always persevere until the end, no matter how embarrassed or bloody they are.

In Tianwang Mountain, no one can defeat Wei Shen.

Even Tim Duncan, even Robert Horry

After more than a minute, the game ended.

Robert Horry scored 13 points in a single quarter and made 3 of 4 three-pointers. The only one who missed the shot was the one who was frightened by Wayne.

Wayne scored 34 points, most of which were scored by Tim Duncan!

The gold content can be said to be very high.

101 to 94, the Pacers tenaciously defeated the Spurs in Game 5!

Miller's blood-stained game and Wayne's late clearance have become eternal classics on the King's Mountain!

At the end of the game, Wayne pointed to the fans at the trophy on the wooden floor.

The ownership of the championship is already quite clear.

It’s coming, it’s coming, fellow bosses, it’s already the 1st, and if Lao Ge doesn’t make it before 24:00, then all he has to do is beg for a guaranteed monthly ticket! Beg on your knees!
