Chapter 292 Struggle until cramp, 3 points for the return of the king
·
Zhuan Zhu
After the start of the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides was still tight.
Playing in such an environment is like moving forward with a heavy load, and the efficiency of both sides is not high.
For the Spurs, this kind of off-the-board move is an act of killing one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred. After all, the average age of the Spurs is older than the Suns, and the team has many more veterans than the Suns.
However, compared to the Suns, their players look slightly better. After all, this is the home court of the Spurs, and their players can use electric fans and ice buckets to cool down at any time.
It was hot on the court, and it was too hot off the court.
Fans have begun to artificially cool down, pouring cold Coke and cold beer on their heads.
This scene can't help but remind some old fans of the 1984 finals.
A similar scene also appeared in the classic yellow-green game of the Lakers V2 Celtics. When the finals reached G5, the scores of the two sides were deadlocked. At such a critical point, Celtics head coach 'Cardinal' Auerbach made a big move, and with a big wave of his hand, he directly turned off the air conditioning system in the arena.
After turning off the air conditioner, the temperature at the North Shore Garden Stadium once reached 38 degrees!
In the end, the Celtics also won the battle of Tianwangshan with this unique trick, and won the championship that year.
Popovich's behavior tonight has a tribute to the cardinal.
Halfway through the last quarter, the physical fitness of both sides was severely tested.
Chen Yan was already sweating profusely, and the new jersey he put on during the holiday break almost turned into tights due to the sweat.
Popovich also noticed that Chen Yan's physical fitness had declined, and began to send players to take care of him in turn.
The purpose of posting defense is not to limit Chen Yan's scoring, but to further consume his physical energy.
Popovich is a tactical genius, and he can think of any kind of move. He understands that Chen Yan is the only firepower for the Suns tonight.
Except for the 3-minute break in the first quarter, Chen Yan played all the rest of the time!
Moreover, in the second half, Chen Yan was required to hold the ball and finish almost every round, which further increased Chen Yan's physical consumption.
Even with top physical fitness, Chen Yan couldn't stand it anymore.
Soon, the time came to the last 2 minutes and 07 seconds.
Suns offensive round.
Nash tried to use the cover to go inside, but the exhaustion of physical energy made him unable to pick up his speed. Nash took a step close to the defensive player, then shook his hand and passed to the outside.
Raja Bell made a three-pointer at a 0-degree angle after receiving the ball!
"Bang!"
Hit the iron.
Raja Bell's shot is also the epitome of the Suns' shooters in this game.
Except for Chen Yan, the three-pointers of the Suns' other outside players in this game were only a poor 15-for-3, which can be said to be a big loss.
But fortunately, this offensive rebound was spotted by Dior.
Dior didn't hold the ball firmly, so he took advantage of the situation and gave it to the middle. From the corner of his eyes, he had already caught sight of Chen Yan who was cutting without the ball!
The decline in physical fitness will not affect Dior's creativity. After receiving the ball, Chen Yan hits the basket hard!
Duncan and Finley combined to pull him down!
The Spurs players understood that even sending Chen Yan to the free throw line at this time would not allow him to score directly. This was a matter of momentum.
After landing, Chen Yan lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The Suns players quickly pulled him up. Few people were worried that Chen Yan would be injured because of this, but after getting up, Chen Yan was not in a good condition, and limped towards the free throw line with difficulty.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
After Chen Yan made two free throws, the score was tied at 75!
But at the same time, he also made a substitution gesture towards D'Antoni on the sideline!
Due to severe dehydration and full strength, Chen Yan suffered from thigh cramps.
D'Antoni quickly replaced him with Grant Hill, and the Spurs also replaced Bowen, who had been cut before, at this time.
There is a rule in NBA games that if you foul someone without the ball in the last 2 minutes, you will be fined two free throws and one throw. Popovich doesn't have to worry that Bowen will be cut at this time.
Chen Yan came down to the sidelines with the help of the assistant coach. He would not cry for his teammates to carry him down, let alone go back to the locker room. All Chen Yan could think about was getting back on the court quickly.
Chen Yan understands that the sun needs him very much now.
Chen Yan kept asking the team doctor to press his hamstrings on the sidelines. Seeing this scene, Popovich didn't seem to be disturbed, but he was secretly delighted.
The ball is steady!
The game continues on the field.
Popovich signaled to hand the ball to Duncan, the most stable point on the Spurs field.
Duncan turned around immediately after receiving the ball. Affected by his physical fitness and temperature, Duncan's turning speed was also much slower.
But even so, Duncan still caused Stoudemire's defensive foul.
At the critical moment, Duncan showed no mercy and made two free throws to rewrite the score to 77-75.
Chen Yan is very anxious in his heart. Can he not be anxious when he is not on the court during the most intense stage of the game?
Looking back, Duncan blocked a layup in Stoudemire's penalty area with his big palm, proving with action what a historical power forward is!
Duncan panted heavily after landing, and his physical fitness reached a critical point, hovering on the verge of collapse.
In the next 1 minute, neither side scored in sports, but the Spurs frequently won free throws inside.
With one free throw after another, the Spurs opened the point difference to 39 points with 4 seconds left in the game!
The score was 82 to 78, and there was a dead ball on the field at this time.
The domestic fans in front of the TV suddenly burst into cheers. It turned out that Chen Yan stood on the sideline again!
D'Antoni signaled the referee Sun to make substitutions and adjustments, and Chen Yan reappeared!
Although he returned to the sidelines, the careful fans found that Chen Yan was still a little staggering, and the impact of cramps hadn't quit so quickly, but Chen Yan knew that if he didn't play again, the game would be over.
The Suns attack the ball.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
The home fans galvanized the team with 'Defense' resounding through the arena.
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan immediately possessed himself and cut in.
D'Antoni's tactic is to grab a quick two-pointer first.
Unexpectedly, the Spurs' formation recovered very quickly, especially Duncan almost exerted his last strength to move his feet and prevent Chen Yan from rushing to the frame.
Chen Yan didn't force himself, turned around and handed the ball to the outside.
There was nothing around Raja Bell after receiving the ball, but he didn't choose to shoot this time.
He was too tough tonight, he didn't have the confidence to make this kind of clutch shot.
Raja Bell stopped the ball to observe, and Chen Yan took it out again.
After the two exchanged hand-to-hand cooperation, Chen Yan turned around and shot!
Bowen behind this shot was a little caught off guard!
Chen Yan didn't even look at the basket for this shot, it was a blind shot!
Chen Yan's shot like this is also a helpless move. If time continues to pass, the Suns will still be very passive even if they score this round.
The whole audience is watching the trajectory of the ball.
If the ball fails to hit the Suns, the game is basically gone, and there is still suspense in the game!
The basketball pierced through the sky above the ATT Arena and fell straight into the net!
"Shh!"
82:81.
The Suns bench jumped up all of a sudden!
In the CCTV5 studio, Zhang Lili and Yu Jia were equally happy.
"What is a player with a big heart? This is a player with a big heart!"
"The Return of the King's Three Points!"
今晚纳什准星全无全场9中2，同样大失水准的还有10中3的小斯，6中2的迪奥，6中1的拉加-贝尔。
Even so, Chen Yan still relied on his strong personal ability to carry the game to the last 30 seconds!
