Chen Feng sat on the bench. He lowered his head and stared at the sweat slowly dripping from his slightly longer hair. He had forgotten the pain in his ankle. He was so disappointed that he didn't understand why he failed.
Why did the team fail? They played very well and tried their best.
Seeing the cheers and cheers on the other side, Chen Feng really felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. After defeating ten teams with one effort, the Rockets' overall strength was nothing to say. No matter how the Spurs adjusted their tactics, they relied on their physical talents to fight.
The headband on his head has been taken off, and he is holding it tightly in his hand: "You can't admit defeat like this, why should they win as a matter of course? We are also an NBA team, we are no worse than anyone else, not to mention we are still the defending champion.
!”
Thinking of this, Chen Feng suddenly stood up. Without wearing his headband, he walked directly to **Vicci, "Boss, I'm not convinced that we haven't lost yet and I still want to play."
**Vicci frowned, "Chen, you must know that we are already 14 points behind, and the time is only one minute. Even if Jordan comes, it is impossible to win. Besides, your ankle can't bear it."
**Vicci is telling the truth. Chasing 14 points in one minute is impossible no matter what. Thinking back to the McGrady moment and the Miller moment, they were all produced by a combination of opportunities, luck, etc. Since the establishment of the league, there have only been
These two segments can be called "moments".
Chen Feng didn't speak, as if he was back to the time when he first entered the alliance. His hair, wet with sweat, stuck tightly to his face, but Chen Feng didn't notice it at all, and just stared at **Vicci so closely.
Looking at the stubborn Chen Feng, after **Vic confirmed Chen Feng's intention again and again, he had no choice but to agree, and then let him follow him on the court. For example, the strongest rebounding lineup of the Jordan Spurs, such as Favors and Duncan, came on the court.
, Leonard et al.
The rest of the Spurs didn't say anything, but the atmosphere didn't get high-profile because of Chen Feng's arrogance, and of course they didn't give up completely. Everyone was preparing to play according to **Vic's arrangements.
After a while of being so lukewarm, the long pause time was over. At this time, Chen Feng was the first to step onto the court. He did not allow himself to fail like this in att.
At the last minute of the game, the Rockets had already replaced their main players. Chen Feng was now facing Daniels. This is a very good player, but he is just a rookie now, nothing more.
The Spurs served the ball at halftime. This time it was not Chen Feng who returned to the shooting guard position. He ran with super speed. Of course, no one could keep up with him. He received the ball at the top of the three-point arc without waiting for his opponent.
If there is any action, just raise your hand and shoot the three-pointer.
It only took Chen Feng three seconds to hit this shot and score, and the point difference was still 11 points. Chen Feng retreated and returned to defense like a real stadium fighter, pointing his hands at everyone, "Defend, defend! We are not there yet.
lose!"
Daniels is characterized by his excellent shooting and good physical fitness. Of course, he is only good. Chen Feng is much better than others.
Because the game time is almost gone, the Rockets players on the field are a little relaxed at this time. They always feel that there is no time and our task is to run out of time. This emotion is most obvious in Daniels.
After Daniels dribbled the ball with his hips, he then wanted to hand the ball to Conan on the right. Conan's situation in the Rockets is not good. He is just a role player, but this is not the reason why Chen Feng sympathizes with him. What the league needs is strength.
Rather than being pitiful, after Daniels left the basketball, Chen Feng suddenly jumped out and lined the ball up the court.
Chen Feng no longer knew whether his ankle hurt or not. He just wanted to score now. Holding the ball and advancing quickly, he quickly got rid of Daniels who was chasing behind him, but he did not choose to dunk or layup.
When entering the three-point line, a front-up running shot came.
Watching the basketball go into the basket, Chen Feng couldn't help but roar. It only took him 15 seconds to help the team recover 6 points. There are still 45 seconds left, but the Spurs are already only 8 points behind. Mike
Haier looked at Daniels angrily off the court, as if he was disappointed with his performance, but he had no idea how he arranged the team's lineup. You use a role player and a fringe player to defend an All-Star, and the result is
Nature is self-evident.
In the end, McHale still didn't call a timeout. He didn't believe that the No. 1 on the opposite side could really make a difference. Did he think he was LeBron James or Kobe Bryant? Or the former Tracy McGrady?
He didn't call a timeout, and Chen Feng was the first to raise his hands in approval. Chen Feng's opinion of the Rockets' current lineup is that if it's too high, it won't be too low.
This is a group of players who really want to play according to the coach's tactics, and they also want to defend well. But! They don't read the coach's tactics enough, so that they can't even show their own characteristics.
Among the 30 teams in the league, the Spurs' defense is among the top three in the league. The current situation is that the entire Rockets offense can't even penetrate the Spurs' three-second zone. In the end, Conan made a three-pointer at the buzzer, but of course it didn't go in.
The Spurs attack Chen Feng and advance quickly!
Chen Feng quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and took off to shoot two steps away from the three-point line. Everyone didn't know why Chen Feng was so anxious. His shot point just now was too far away, and he advanced quickly.
He didn't even stand firm, but Chen Feng suddenly shot a three-pointer.
Ignoring the exclamations at the scene, Chen Feng was not playing blindly. If you have played basketball, you will know that as a shooter, you will have your own instincts. When you feel it, you will find that the basket is like the sea.
Chen Feng was in such a situation at this time. He didn't care about the opinions of those around him. He only put down his shooting right hand when he watched the rhythmically rotating basketball sink into the basket.
One minute has not been played yet, but the Spurs' No. 1 China Chen has already hit three consecutive three-pointers. There is less than one attack time in the fourth quarter, only 21 seconds, but now the Spurs have only
5 points behind.
The Rockets quickly requested a timeout. At this time, they could no longer afford to gamble. Chen Feng shouted loudly at the center of the field to all the fans, "We haven't lost yet!"
The Rockets asked for a timeout. McHale did not expect that even with a 14-point lead in the last minute, the No. 1 on the opposite side would be forced to send all the main players again. In fact, it was a big deal to lead by 5 points in the last 21 seconds.
He had the advantage, but when McHale saw Chen Feng "swish" and "swish" several times, his hard work throughout the game was almost wiped out.
Scratching his head, McHale was very distressed. If he was being chased by the Spurs like this, he should not hesitate to get the main force up and take down the arrogant Chinese kid opposite him, but now he is confused.
Yes. Because Howard's free throw problem is a problem that the entire league is aware of.
McHale knew that if he let Howard play, then one of the originators of the shark-cutting game, **Vitch, would definitely execute the decision without hesitation. But if Howard was not allowed to play, then McHale knew that if his side
The paint area will probably become the back garden of the Spurs' two or a few guns.
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, McHale now hates himself for not finding a better substitute for Warcraft earlier? As for Asik, well! Okay! Are his free throws worse than Howard's?
There are people who take free throws at critical moments! In the end, Mr. McHale, who frowned, still let Howard play. After all, Howard is his biggest inside support.
The game continues, and it is now 94:99. All San Antonio Spurs home fans have stood up. They will stand and watch the last 21 seconds. They hope that their hometown soldiers can perform a miracle at home and play the ultimate killer.
**Vitch has also made arrangements, just like McHale said. What he said about his appearance** is that if Howard of the Rockets comes on the court, he must foul without hesitation and cannot be in the basket.
A foul will be committed, otherwise with Howard's strength, if the score is 2+1, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Sure enough, the players on both sides had just come on the court. Parsons stood on the sideline and took a free throw, while the five people on the Spurs side tried their best to block the others, leaving Howard alone! Parsons was helpless here. He just sent the ball out, and Chen Feng
He had already rushed towards Howard as fast as he could and hugged Warcraft who had just caught the basketball.
Sending Warcraft to the free throw line is the first task of the Spurs team. Looking at Howard with a solemn look on his face, Chen Feng found that this was the first time he had seen Warcraft with this expression. Now he was standing close to the free throw line. Get ready.
Grab rebounds because his position has changed to small forward.
**Veach hopes to use Chen Feng's defensive ability to limit the opponent's small forward Parsons, who has the best price/performance ratio on the court. Warcraft missed the first free throw, and Chen Feng looked at McHale's face on the court.
It was dark again. But he had no time to gloat. He bent down and prepared to grab the rebound.
Warcraft took aim for a long time before his wrists shook and the basketball flew towards the basket in a stiff arc. "Peng" Hearing this sound, everyone in the Rockets felt their hearts sink. If this happened, the suspense of the game would be further heightened.
Big.
But things in the world are often so strange. When Howard wanted to rush into the paint, the basketball bounced on the neck of the basket, and then plunged into the basket. Howard laughed, and the people on the Spurs side were stunned.
**Vicci felt that God did not seem to be on his side today, but he did not think about how unbelievable it was that Chen Feng hit three consecutive three-pointers just now. It should be said that God has always been by his side and has never left.
Decisively requested a timeout. **Vicchi was not planning any tactics. This short timeout was just to help his players, sending them to the frontcourt to save time. Looking at the players coming back from the field, **Vicchi was very happy.
satisfy.
"I don't want to say anything. Everyone just shoots when they have the chance. I don't have any tactical guidance. Of course, the game has reached this stage. I believe everyone will temporarily suppress any lack of confidence. Our only goal now is to win."
Now the Spurs are united at a critical moment. They want to steal a victory from the Rockets that has already been determined. But now the atmosphere on the Rockets side is also very solemn. Not only because McHale has some
Angry rants, and their own self-esteem issues.
As one of the current leaders in the league, their current goal is the championship. In regular games, they are almost invincible. The call for a modern combination is higher than that of the defending champion Spurs. The current record is not only offensive but also offensive.
Yes, it's almost the same! But now compared to the Spurs, whose combat effectiveness has declined, they are still worse. The two teams are fighting. The most important thing is that they were leading by 14 points a few dozen seconds ago.
Harden and his younger brother will not allow this to happen. They cannot bear the shame of being reversed, and they do not want their 9-game winning streak to be ended. So they have to use their strongest fighting power to defeat their opponents.
The game continued. The San Antonio Spurs' half-court defense has always been the Rockets' strength. Of course, it was relative. If it were before, they would not think that with the Spurs' offense, they could defeat themselves in a positional battle within a limited time. But now
But they didn't dare to be careless. Who knew whether the hand of No. 1 opposite was still so hot.
Now the Rockets lead by six points, and there are 19 seconds left on the clock when Leonard serves the half-court ball. Now Ginobili and Chen Feng are the two main defensive points of the Rockets. This is nothing to say. McHale's defensive tactics are also based on
They came, and as the game whistle blew, everyone on the Spurs side dispersed like butterflies in bloom.
What surprised McHale was that Ginobili, one of the key points, had no intention of catching the ball. Instead, he was the first to come out and help Chen Feng in a pick-and-roll. The Rockets also try their best to switch defenders and give you two points, but that's it.
I won't let you hit three points.
Chen Feng used his speed and the cover of his teammates to finally catch the ball near the center line when the serving time was about to end. At this time, the person staring at him had become Howard.
Howard is a very good defensive player, but that was when he was waiting for work and used his defensive awareness and physical fitness to make up for the defense. However, the current situation is that Warcraft has defended, and he is still facing the very fast Chen Feng
.
There is nothing to say about this matchup. Chen Feng made two consecutive changes of direction and rushed past Howard from the left. Chen Feng succeeded in breaking through. No one doubted his touch and three-pointer. McHale was about to jump on the sidelines.
He stood up and shouted, "Take up defense, don't let him shoot a three-pointer."
Everyone thought that Chen Feng would take action. After all, the three three-pointers just now were still fresh in his mind. Just when everyone on the Rockets turned their attention to Chen Feng and Parsons started to pounce here, Chen Feng
The wind has picked up.
There is still a big step away from the three-point line, but Chen Feng doesn't want to play heartbeat again. Looking at Parsons rushing up from the side, Chen Feng jumps up and passes the ball.
Because he wanted to affect Chen Feng's shooting, Parsons had already started to jump from a long distance. He took off with all his strength, but now he could only watch the basketball fly from him to Ginobili. He had just
Get out of there.
Ginobili, who was completely open, did not expect Chen Fengwei to pass the ball to him. He felt that with Chen Feng's hot touch, he would definitely take the shot himself. Moreover, when Chen Feng asked for the ball just now, he did it in one go.
It really doesn’t look like you’re making a wedding dress for someone else.
This goal must be scored, otherwise Ginobili feels that he cannot hold his head up in front of the home fans and his teammates. Ginobili received the pass with his right hand, these thoughts flashed through his mind, and then in the air
Stretching his body, he breathed a sigh of relief from the moment the basketball was released until it got into the basket.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the fans and commentators at the scene who had been holding their breath for a long time finally turned into cheers and exclamations.
The scene was filled with cheers and screams, and Reggie Miller, one of the greatest shooters in league history, also kept expressing his excitement and emotion.
"Oh God, the Spurs' Manu hit another three-pointer with 12 seconds left. God is on the Spurs' side today. He helped the Spurs' backcourt perform the most perfect magic. They all
Hit 4 three-pointers within minutes, they..."
There were cheers everywhere, as if the game was over. But Chen Feng knew clearly that his side was still 3 points behind, and the ball was still in the hands of the Rockets. No one could say what happened next.
The Rockets timeout ended, and Vicki directly replaced Howard. What they needed now was to use up the last 12 seconds, so he directly used a no inside tactic to ensure free throws.
This lineup makes the Spurs scratch their heads. **Vic just said it. The Rockets' possible lineup and possible tactics have also been considered for this situation. He has no choice but to leave it to fate.
A personal foul.
Chen Feng has already committed four fouls, but he doesn't care. He knows that the winner will be determined in the last 12 seconds. Chen Feng is the fastest, and he is ready to pull down the player who receives the ball as soon as possible.
The person receiving the ball was Harden, McHale's favorite shooting guard and the leader of the Rockets. To Chen Feng's surprise, Harden ran directly to his own half, and Parsons, who was serving the ball, also immediately took the ball.
The ball was served to the frontcourt.
Time was already beating fast. Chen Feng, who was stunned for a moment, rushed to catch up with Harden at full speed. Maybe he didn't know that his ankle was not allowed to exert force like this, or maybe he just felt pain.
He doesn't care anymore. All he needs is victory.
Tony Parker also started at the same time, and two of them chased Harden, one on the left and one on the right. When Parker grabbed Harden's jersey, there were 8 seconds left on the clock, and Harden made a free throw. (To be continued.)
