The Way of the Center

"The fans in the aTT Center must have a chill! With nine points, the Spurs entered the fourth quarter with a nine-point disadvantage! Courtney Lee is undoubtedly the Blazers team in the third quarter. The Rockets, he scored nine points on three of three three-pointers in a single quarter, leaving the Spurs behind in an instant. EΔ novel Ww"W. 1XIAOSHUO.COM God, are the Blazers going to win away on the road? I can't wait for Shaq, I can't wait to see the match between the two sides in the fourth quarter!" Kenny Smith was completely overwhelmed by the Blazers' performance in the first three quarters. Even the powerful Spurs were so unbearable by them, this is definitely a manifestation of the strong strength of the Trail Blazers!

But few people have found that Courtney Lee's 9 points, which is a superb dragon set, plays a vital role for the Trailblazers to take the lead now! In other words, if the scores between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers are not expected to be a tie, the scores between the Spurs and the Blazers might be tied!

Others may not see the power of the relationship, but **Vicci knows this. In the fourth quarter, unless Courtney Lee's hand feels equally hot, otherwise, the Blazers will not have a weapon that can allow them to take the lead!

"Don't worry, we still have a full 12 minutes. Just play like just now, believe me, just play like just now, we can turn the situation around!" Just now the Spurs have fallen behind by 9 points, but coach Vicki But has been emphasizing that the players continue to play according to the arrangement just now. He did this because he was afraid that the players would be smart and change their tactics without authorization.

There is no problem with the Spurs' tactics. The only problem is that the Trail Blazers suddenly came out with Courtney Lee!

In the fourth quarter, Courtney Lee's playing time is destined to be reduced. At that time, Vicki will have to see who can stand up and open points in the Trail Blazers!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, An Jie's hook was rarely seen. Said rare, in fact, for the entire season. If we talk about this game alone, this scene has already been born many times.

"Ann's shot still missed, which is really rare. At present, Ann's shooting rate is only 43%, which is really a very low shooting rate for him." Kenny Smith looked at the data. I can't believe that the name in front of this string of numbers will be An Jie. Anjie’s offense has always been known for his high efficiency. The hit rate reached 60 to 70%, which is not unusual for An Jie. But today, I don't know why, but Anjie's hit rate has dropped drastically.

"Tim, that guy is really smart." O'Neal didn't say anything on the side, but after careful observation, he already knew the reason why An Jie's hit rate dropped.

The answer is simple, because...

"That guy always forced me to turn to the left and break through to the left. Through constant squeezing, I had to make all movements with my left hand! I can indeed attack the frame with my left and right hands, but it can't let me play the whole game. All attack with the left hand!" During the timeout, Anjie complained to Ricard again. Duncan's defense is so sophisticated, even detailed to the point.

"It's okay. Next time Duncan defends like this, you will pass the ball to me, or try to squeeze the space. In short, don't fall into the trap he set up specifically for you! Listen, the Spurs have begun to gradually The score is approaching. I want you to unite and persevere! To improve efficiency, I need you to improve efficiency. Be more active in running positions and provide more support to Ann! To hold the advantage, we must keep the advantage to the last second of the game !" Ricard was called a timeout just when he saw the Spurs getting some momentum.

But after the timeout, Ricard was desperate to find that the Spurs' crazy counterattack still did not stop.

When returning from the timeout, Vicki sent the Argentine Manu Ginobili. In this way, all three of the gdp are on the court, and at this moment, they are only five points away from the tie!

Ginobili is the best player on the Spurs team in this game. He has now scored 18 points from the bench. Wesley Matthews has always been a loser, and Matthews is still too immature to deal with Ginobili, a guy with a "demonic look" all over his body.

This time, Ginobili got a pass from Tony Parker in the first half of the game. But "Demon Knife" did not just play alone, but gave the ball to the young small forward Leonard. After that, Ginobili borrowed Dior's off-the-ball pick and roll and ran.

This is the Spurs. Even if a player feels hot today, he still has to implement the team's current tactics. Singles tactics for outside players are very rare in the Spurs.

An Jie didn't dare to leave Duncan for half a step. This expressionless guy was definitely not Griffin and his like. An Jie puts more attention on Duncan, so his reading of the perimeter defense will also be greatly affected by this. Without Anjie's command and the Blazers' perimeter defense, it will be difficult to contain the Spurs' subtle cooperation.

Ginobili ran more than half a circle around the half-court, and in the end, he managed to get rid of Matthews and received a pass from Leonard after going out of the three-point line.

"Can Manu Ginobili take the chance to shoot a three-pointer? For a good shot, Matthews has no time to cover the defense. After a three-pointer, the Spurs are only 2 points away from the tie!"

"Ann was still forced by Tim Duncan very badly. He wanted to pass the ball, but the rest of the Spurs have blocked the pass. **Vicci and Duncan successfully cut Anjie away! Now Anjie If you want to help the team score, you can only rely on yourself!" Kenny Smith talked endlessly. This fierce fourth quarter game completely immersed him.

An Jie looked around, but unexpectedly found that the Spurs' defense was too perfect. Even if his passing level is good, in such a small space, Anjie still can't guarantee that he can send the ball safely.

Suddenly, An Jie wanted to turn to the right and break through, but after turning halfway just now, Duncan blocked his route to death. Duncan implemented the arrangement of Vicki, strangled An Jie to the right and forced An Jie to fight to the left. Facts have proved that the effect of this is very, very good!

Seeing this situation, An Jie simply stopped walking. He suddenly turned to face the frame and took a shot backward. Duncan, who did not react in time, pounced slowly for a second, and An Jie was able to take the shot calmly.

"With a step back jumper in the penalty area, see if An can stabilize the situation." As soon as Kenny Smith's voice fell, the basketball hit the net. An Jie's beautiful goal delayed the Spurs' pursuit of points. But Vicki and Spurs are still in no hurry, because of the momentum, they are still on their side!

**Vicci said before that they can't limit Anjie's scoring. However, they successfully reduced Anjie's scoring efficiency. Facing a guy like An Jie, doing this step is already pretty good.

Although Anjie scored a goal for the Trail Blazers to stabilize the situation, but after that, the Spurs' offense was even more fierce.

"Ginobili's snake-like breakthrough! Wesley Matthews was stunned. Beautiful! A layup would be punished, and Manu Ginobili won a three-pointer for the Spurs. !"

"Manu Ginobili broke through again, and Ann and Gerald Wallace took off and blocked shots at the same time! No, how did the basketball get out of the crowd! Leonard made a three-pointer and hit again! Ginobi Lee's pass is so life-threatening! This is simply a gamble of mistakes if you can't assist!"

"Aldridge seems to be very uncomfortable with Dior's defense. Dior can always think of various ways to interfere with you. Sometimes, these methods are not even allowed by the rules. Look, now Aldridge is also misfired. Let's see if the Spurs can seize this opportunity."

The fourth quarter was very fierce, so the fans also believed that the last 12 minutes passed extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, the game came to the last thirty seconds. At this moment, the San Antonio Spurs have reversed 3 points!

98 to 1o1, this is almost the last chance for the Trail Blazers.

Ricard drew two sets of tactics for the final offense. The first set was with Courtney Lee as the end point, hitting a three-pointer and dragging the game into overtime.

If this plan cannot be implemented, the team will focus on An Jie and let An Jie narrow the point difference first. Then use foul tactics to fight for the right to shoot.

No matter which option it is, the risks are huge. But Courtney Lee's accurate three-pointers today still gave the Trail Blazers fans confidence.

With the ball coming out of the sideline, Raymond Felton was able to receive the basketball under the pressure of the Spurs. After getting the ball, the timer on the backboard also started to move. An offensive that decides fate, begin now!

Anjie mentioned the mid-range, so that he can pick and roll for his teammates, and he can also be the end of the offense. An Jie only needs to stand there for a while, it is enough to make Duncan's nerves tense!

Regardless of Anjie's low hit rate in this game, he was frustrated. But at the critical moment, the Spurs did not lose An Jie's loss!

The only tricky thing is that now the Blazers are behind by three points, not two. Want to drag the game into overtime, Anjie is not the best offensive option.

So when Courtney Lee ran past An Jie, and An Jie completely blocked the chasing Gino Belgium, all the fans in the aTT center took a breath!

As soon as Courtney Lee got rid of the defense, Felton sent the basketball over. Courtney Lee, who got the final shot and fired power, was not nervous. He calmly shot the basketball. Can the guard who laid the edge for the Trail Blazers in the third quarter continue to work wonders?

"Hey!" A loud muffled sound silenced the fans in the entire aTT center for a second. The Trail Blazers still scored, but they only scored two points!

It turned out that Courtney Lee's three-pointer did not directly hit, and An Jie quickly cut in to block Duncan to barely complete the supplement. At the same time, there are only 5 seconds left before the end of the game!

Although Anjie scored a good goal, he knew that the Trail Blazers were still lagging behind.

"Damn it!" Courtney Lee knew that his excellent performance in the third quarter had all fallen short! As long as the last attack is not executed, everything you did before will be automatically scrapped!

In the last five seconds, the Trail Blazers naturally adopted a full-court press defense. However, Ginobili, who was running coquettishly, still received a baseline ball from Duncan.

Ginobili hadn't grasped the ball, he was deliberately fouled by Matthews behind him. Tactical foul, this is the only option for the Trail Blazers.

But unfortunately, the person who is now on the free throw line is the best person in the Spurs' form today, not one of them.

"Two free throws were made, the point difference became 3 again! The Trail Blazers want to continue the game, this is the last chance!"

"Lee! You won't let us down, right!" At the last timeout, Ricard blocked everything in this timeout. Matthews? No, he was looked down upon by Ginobili. Felton? This guy's three-pointers are inherently unstable. Crawford? Nervous Knife feels very bad today, don't expect him to suddenly come on the court and make a key goal. Gerald Wallace? He is not a pure three-point shooter. At the moment, only the hot-feeling Courtney Lee meets the requirements for the last shot.

Courtney Li nodded silently, but he felt that he was under a bit of pressure...

Aldridge once again took the ball from the sideline. Felton still held the ball, Angel was the pick-and-roll, and Lee was the most active player.

But this time, the Trail Blazers don't have more than 20 seconds to play slowly. They must complete the offense within five seconds!

Courtney Lee's defense against Leonard is impressive, and his entanglement is no worse than Ginobili's to Wesley Matthews.

As soon as he caught the ball, the "monster" with long arms and big hands was in front of Li ~ www.NovelMTL.com~ Although he did not completely get rid of the defense, Li had no choice but to make a direct shot!

Leonard took off accurately, and Courtney Lee was stunned by his height!

"It's over!" Before Li landed, he seemed to know the result.

"Pop!" A crisp voice sounded, and a block of lore shots was staged!

Only this time, what was staged in the aTT Center was no longer An Jie chasing Duncan's layup... Leonard accurately blocked Lee’s shot, the Trail Blazers’ The hope of winning was completely shattered.

The red light on the backboard lights up, and the center of aTT is gushing like a volcano in an instant.

An Jie looked at the big screen in surprise. In the first three quarters of the game where they had the advantage, they lost like this?

After a frantic sweep and promotion, An Jie's road to the Western Conference semifinals seemed to be not smooth from the beginning.

The San Antonio Spurs are really an opponent one level higher than the Clippers!
