Chapter 198
In a moment
""Boom!"
Amid the deafening cheers in the arena, the final 2 minutes and 17 seconds of the decisive battle came.
The home fans could not sit still at all. Popovich's"Hack-a-Shaq" tactics made them extremely irritated.
They were eager for the Clippers to win and hit the old man hard in the face.
Let him know
"The"Hulk" Su Hao is a super center who is superior to the"Great Shark" O'Neal.
The inferior hacking tactics can't limit him at all.
"Come on Su Hao!"
"The last two minutes are our chance!"
"What a bullshit"Hack-a-Shaq" tactic.
Our"Hulk" has already scored 50 points. No matter what means you use, you can't stop him from leading the Clippers to victory."
""Su Hao, go!"
Fans cheered for Su Hao and the Clippers, and the home team's morale was high!
The main game is coming
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Curry pushed the ball over and landed at the top of the arc on the right side, trying to find Su Hao for an alley-oop. He attacked as soon as he got the ball.
He didn't give the Spurs a chance to foul.
At the same time...if he and his teammates had a good offensive opportunity, they could also end it.
When the offensive time was exactly 17 seconds,
Parker rushed up and fouled Su Hao again.
He continued to cut.
"Damn your legs, so disgusting!"
"No, isn't it not allowed to use the"Hack-a-Shaq" tactic on a player without the ball in the last two minutes?!
Isn't this a violation?"
"No, the Spurs are very cunning, they used the"Hack-a-Shaq" tactic on Su Hao at the last moment.
There is no problem with this!"
"What a dog!"
"……"
The complaints from the home fans were getting louder and louder.
In their opinion, Su Hao's free throws were not in good condition tonight. If he missed two free throws this time, the Spurs would have counterattacked and would have directly overtaken.
The score difference of 10 points was worn out abruptly. This game looked really infuriating.
""Step!"
However, Su Hao strolled leisurely and calmly stepped onto the free throw line.
"Hmm?"
Grandpa Bobo noticed Su Hao's state and was a little confused."How can you stay so relaxed?
This shouldn't be"
"Hmm?"
Coach Dunleavy also felt Su Hao's calmness."He was a little nervous and uneasy before, how come he suddenly became so confident?
Big heart? The more critical the moment, the calmer it is?
Or is it a natural leadership ability, the more critical the moment, the more he can really stand up and help the team win?"
Both coaches stared at Su Hao, watching his next two free throws.
How was it?
"Swish!"
""Swish!"
With Mark Price's 90.5% free throw rate, Su Hao made both free throws without any suspense. The score difference was three points.
The Spurs attacked.
Ginobili pushed over and landed at the top of the arc on the right side. Russell followed up to defend.
Ginobili looked at his teammates, rushed to the left, suddenly stopped, and made a drifting three-pointer. It was an outrageous shot.
He shot it against Russell's block.
It was extreme. The difficulty was also extremely great.
As a result... Ginobili hit such a magical shot
"Unbelievable!"
"The sword of desperation shows its power!"
The score difference is tied.
If Su Hao makes one of two free throws or misses both free throws in the next free throw, won't the Spurs overtake?!
The Clippers fans are restless.
Fortunately, there are only two minutes left, and the Spurs can't foul Su Hao without the ball.
This is a good thing.
As long as Su Hao doesn't take the ball and keeps falling under the basket to grab rebounds, the Clippers will have a higher chance of attacking.
""Bang, bang, bang!"
Curry pushed over, Parker followed up immediately, and Ginobili on the wing also rushed over.
Double-team.
They wanted to steal the basketball from Curry's hands, force Curry to pass the ball, and preferably make a mistake.
Curry's ability to control the ball and pass the ball is okay, but he is a rookie after all, and he is somewhat uncomfortable with the defensive intensity at the last moment of the game.
In a slight panic, he passed the ball to Gordon on the other side, and Richard Jefferson's backup defense quickly followed.
The Spurs' defense has always been suffocating.
Gordon didn't give up the chance.
Another point.
Direct turnover.
Ginobili completed the steal from Gordon and quickly pushed for a counterattack. Fortunately, Rasor's speed was not slow.
Catch up.
Disrupt the Spurs' fast break counterattack.
The Spurs fell into position, waited for teammates to come over, and continued to pass the ball, connecting with continuous screens.
Parker on the right side had an opportunity to cut in and attack the basket directly.
But.
Su Hao was guarding the restricted area.
Parker was inexplicably a little panicked, and didn't dare to layup for fear of being blocked.
"Sizzle!"
Automatic brake.
Parker shoots with a jump shot
""Bang!"
Missed.
Rebound?!
Su Hao jumped high.
His long arms seemed to be able to touch the top of the rebound. He was strong enough to protect the basket in the fight with McDyess and Duncan.
He waited for a while.
No one cared.
He immediately planned to pass the ball to Curry in the front court and let him push the fast break counterattack.
However, the Spurs were going to implement the"Hack-a-Shaq Tactic" tonight. Richard Jefferson rushed over and fouled Su Hao before he passed the ball.
""Beep!"
The whistle blew.
Su Hao once again stood on the free throw line.
""Great job!"
Duncan encouraged Richard Jefferson,"We need to foul Su Hao before he passes the ball.
Send him to the free throw line.
This way we can have more chances to win the game!""
"I hope he misses both free throws!"
McDyess prayed in his heart,"At most he can make one of two free throws, it's impossible for him to make both free throws!"
Su Hao made the first free throw.
""Shua!" Su Hao made his second free throw. He calmly passed the ball, raised it, pressed his wrist, and flicked the ball, all in one go.
""Shua!"
The spinning basketball, in a small arc, with a crisp sound, went through the net.
It was a hollow hit.
Su Hao made two free throws again.
In Mark Price's free throw ability, making such a free throw was not worth mentioning.
But in the eyes of outsiders.
Su Hao, who had been unstable and not very good at free throws before, had made 4 free throws in a row at the most critical moment.
"Wooow"
Reggie Miller exclaimed,"Su Hao, who had missed two free throws many times before, actually made two free throws in a row in the final moments of life and death, scoring 4 points in a row. This is equivalent to a real attack of 2 times, making the Spurs'"Hack the Shark Tactic" go to waste."
"That's right."
Drexler affirmed, but added,"After all, the current score difference is only two points.
The Spurs'"Hack-a-Shaq" tactic was generally successful.
The Spurs just need to play steadily and make the offense, and the game will still be able to hold on.
The outcome is still very suspenseful!"
"Beautiful!"
Curry jumped up excitedly.
He was a little worried about Su Hao's free throws, but who knew that he made all four free throws, which directly established the advantage for the team.
"That's it."
Su Hao and Curry slapped each other and snorted,"You want to use the cheap"Hack-a-Shaq" to deal with us? No way!"
The game continued.
The ball was transferred.
After Parker pushed over, he passed the ball to Duncan in the middle of the arc, and then gave the ball to Ginobili.
The elusive snake-like breakthrough, Russell wanted to follow, but couldn't.
Ginobili rushed in.
Facing Su Hao's defense, he made a European layup, and after a fake left and right footsteps, he suddenly found that Su Hao was still in front of him!!!
