Chapter 69 The curtain falls, exchange for Holy Light treatment!
Of course, Anderson won't take it easy.
He kicked off his feet fiercely and jumped up vigorously.
In the air, his exaggerated mohawk and the "free.bird" tattoo on his neck are clearly visible.
Suddenly, Anderson looked like an exaggerated flamingo.
But I have to say that his jumping height is very impressive.
At the highest point, Anderson's head is almost level with the basket!
You know, he is already a nearly 33-year-old veteran!
Duncan obviously underestimated Anderson's bounce, but at this time it was impossible to change his moves.
In the process of pressing the basketball to the basket, he faced off with the Birdman.
The hands of the two began to wrestle with each other across the basketball.
Eventually, Anderson lost some strength and fell backwards.
Although Duncan maintained his balance, he was unable to complete the dunk.
The basketball lost control and flew out.
Griffin and Blair on the side both jumped up and looked like two dragons grabbing the pearl.
Griffin, who was more explosive, took the lead and caught the basketball.
But then something unexpected happened.
Blair, who arrived one step late, could no longer control his body, and his head just collided with Griffin's head...
Bones collided with bones, making a dull sound.
Griffin endured the pain, threw the ball to his teammates, and then held his forehead in pain.
Lowry looked at his fallen teammate and wanted to give up the attack, but saw Griffin's hand waving forward.
Xiaogangpao immediately understood what he meant, lowered his head and accelerated, leading his teammates to launch a counterattack.
McGrady and George stepped up their long legs and followed up from both sides.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Lowry made a blind pass and found Tracy McGrady on the left.
The t-mac took off directly and looked like it was going to explode.
In the blink of an eye, Jefferson, who was back on guard, felt cruel and reached out his hands from behind to pull McGrady down.
He exerted so much force that T-mac completed a half-turn in the air and turned his back to the basket.
But McGrady has never seen any kind of defense.
With a flick of his wrist, he actually completed the shot without seeing the basket.
The ball bounced around the basket several times and finally fell into the net.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Beep!"
Spurs defensive foul.
Two points scored, plus a penalty!
But after the goal, McGrady did not do any celebrations. Instead, he turned and ran towards his teammate Griffin who was lying in the backcourt.
The on-site director also cut the camera back to the Rockets half.
At this time, Blair, who had hit the person, had recovered and slowly stood up from the ground.
But Griffin still covered his head in pain and fell to the ground.
"Oh my gosh! Griffin looks like he's in pain, I hope he's okay."
"Although Blair didn't mean to hurt anyone with this shot, he didn't stop after finding out that he couldn't grab the basketball... This pounce was too reckless!"
Zhang Weiping commented.
Soon, the Rockets' team doctor also rushed to the court and checked Griffin's injury.
About two minutes later, Griffin slowly got up from the ground, and with the help of the team doctor, left directly from the player tunnel.
"It's too difficult for Griffin. He performed very well in these games, but just when he was about to start, he got injured again."
"I hope he's okay."
Yu Jia prayed with regret.
McGrady stood aside, quietly watching Griffin leave the court.
But if the camera is close, you will find that t-mac has silently clenched his fist.
…
The game continues.
McGrady steadily hit the extra free throw.
Offense and defense transition.
After switching defense, t-mac faced Tony Parker.
This time, McGrady devoted 120% of his concentration to defense.
Poor Parker, he thought he could easily complete a single against McGrady, who was not "good" at defense.
Unexpectedly, after turning around in his signature move, his layup was ruthlessly nailed to the backboard by T-Mac.
Chasing the big hat!
This is not over yet!
After completing the block, McGrady did not pass the ball to the point guard, but held the ball to promote the counterattack.
After passing half court, he quickly dribbled to a place two steps beyond the three-point line.
Spurs players are very afraid of McGrady's outside shooting ability.
Gary Neal and Richard Jefferson rushed towards McGrady.
But t-mac ignored the two people who rushed towards him and directly pulled out his hand.
"Oh! McGrady is holding up two people and forcing a shot!" Zhang Weiping said in surprise: "I have to say, this shot was not the right shot..."
"Shua~"
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
"It's not what the defensive players think, it's very unexpected. This is the star's choice!"
Zhang Weiping forcibly regained his respect.
"puff..."
Yu Jia on the side couldn't help but laugh, and almost spit out the water he just drank.
After hitting a long three-pointer, McGrady remained expressionless.
Obviously Griffin's injury aroused his fighting spirit.
Although Blair did not mean to hurt anyone, as the core of the team, it is human nature for McGrady to feel angry when he sees his little brother on the team being injured.
The other Rockets players were also motivated after seeing the attitude shown by the team boss.
Soon, they united as one and launched a 12:2 shock wave, establishing a double-digit lead in one fell swoop!
Spurs coach Popovich saw that the situation was not good and immediately sent Ginobili from the bench.
As soon as he saw Yao Dao preparing to play, Tony Allen ejected directly from his position on the Rockets bench.
Mark Jackson smiled slightly and agreed to his request.
In addition, he also sent Danny Green at the end of the bench.
Green walked to the technical stage, high-fived George as he came off the court, then took a deep breath and walked onto the court.
When he saw all the Spurs players, he suddenly had a strange feeling.
It's like... these people have some kind of connection with him.
Of course, Green didn't know why he felt this way.
He shook his head, stopped thinking about irrelevant things, and devoted himself to the game.
At the same time, in the private room, Shen Fei tapped his right hand on the table, thoughtfully.
"While the players are in great shape now, let's put the game away..."
The Asian young man murmured to himself.
............
The game continues.
Although the Spurs replaced Ginobili with a super sixth man.
But because of the existence of Tony Allen, it is difficult for him to show his "demon sword" style.
On the contrary, Rockets youngster Danny Green feels hot.
He hit three-pointers from two bottom corners one after another to help the team continue to expand its lead.
Although Duncan continued his dominant performance in the paint, he still helped the Spurs unable to reverse their decline.
At the end of the third quarter, the score difference between the two teams reached 20 points.
The fans at Toyota Center spontaneously stood up and gave the players warm applause.
On the sidelines, Spurs coach Popovich looked at Danny Green and couldn't help but want to recruit him.
"This young man has a steady style of play and a decisive three-point shot. He is a malleable talent."
"It would be great if you could come to the Spurs."
............
During the break, CCTV commentator Yu Jia suddenly said excitedly:
"Dear viewers, we have just received the latest news - Blake Griffin will not return to the game due to concussion. But his condition is basically stable, so there is no need to worry."
At the same time, on the Rockets' bench, the players' expressions suddenly became much more relaxed, and they had obviously received the news.
"Everyone, work harder! There is only the last quarter left. As long as we can hold on to the first 6 minutes, we will basically win this game!"
Mark Jackson said while clapping his hands.
"Don't worry, coach, their morale is low now and they can no longer afford to make any trouble."
Maddie said calmly.
............
McGrady’s words proved to be a true prophecy.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides entered the transition period again.
This time, Ginobili failed to perform a magical performance, and the Rockets relied on the enhanced firepower of the bench players to maintain a 20-point difference.
Seeing that there was no hope of reversal, Popovich did not send his main force back to the court.
When the red light of the timer came on, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at 121:105.
The Rockets defeated the Spurs with a 16-point advantage and won 4 consecutive victories!
Shen Fei in the box immediately called out the system in his mind.
After seeing that the reputation value was updated to 100 points, the Asian young man smiled slightly and immediately redeemed a [Holy Light Healing].
