Soon, the 20-second pause time expired and the game continued.
Manu Ginobili made a free throw.
Facing the boos from Thunder fans, Manu Ginobili was under great pressure.
This goal can be said to determine the victory of the game. Therefore, Manu Ginobili's breathing was a little short.
"Huh", after taking a few deep breaths, Manu Ginobili adjusted his breathing.
With tens of thousands of Thunder fans booing, Manu Ginobili made this crucial free throw.
Everyone on the scene was watching this goal because it was so important.
The entire American Airlines Arena became quiet, which made people feel a little weird.
Suddenly, there was a "swish" sound and the sound of a basketball being scraped suddenly made the quiet arena become noisy.
As Manu Ginobili scored two plus one, Spurs fans shouted in excitement, while Thunder fans sighed in disappointment. Even some extreme Thunder fans began to curse the Spurs.
players.
The game is not over yet, the Thunder still have 23 seconds to attack.
If this attack succeeds, then they can tie the score or take the lead.
The current score is 96:94, and the Spurs lead by 2 points.
Russell Westbrook received Kevin Durant's baseline pass and advanced toward the frontcourt.
Westbrook glanced at the timer, and then ran out of time. When there were 10 seconds left on the clock, Russell Westbrook suddenly broke into the middle. The speed was very fast.
Chen Feng tried his best to defend Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook passed the ball to Reggie Jackson on the outside. Reggie Jackson broke through and then gave the ball to Kevin.
- Durant, Kevin Durant faced Manu Ginobili's defensive jumper and shot a three-pointer.
The whole stadium fell into silence once again, and this goal would determine the final outcome of the game.
There was a "bang" sound, and the Thunder fans had disappointed expressions on their faces, but the game was not over yet.
Just as the ball bounced out of the basket, all the players on the inside jumped up and scrambled for rebounds. Especially the Thunder players. They grabbed extremely fiercely.
The rebound was tossed around, and finally Perkins pointed his finger in the chaos as the full-time buzzer sounded.
With a "swish" sound, Perkins' tip-in gave the Thunder a desperate chance to survive.
"Wow..." All Thunder fans at the scene screamed.
Thanks to Perkins' tip-in, the Thunder evened the score in a thrilling manner.
Now, the two teams are going to play overtime.
"ah……"
Kevin Durant roared and bumped shoulders with Russell Westbrook next to him in celebration.
Everyone on the Thunder team and the home fans were very excited, but the Spurs were naturally very depressed.
Because of the victory in this game, I had stuffed it into my pocket, but it was taken away by the Miami people.
Although they did not lose, this result was still a bit difficult for them to accept.
"Guys, don't use this expression. We have not lost, we still have a chance to win. Now, everyone has a good rest. In overtime, I hope everyone can go all out and win the Thunder. As long as we win this game
, we won the match point of this series. Do you understand what I mean?" **Vic asked Chen Feng and others excitedly.
"clear."
After hearing **Vic's enlightenment and encouragement, the Spurs players were relieved.
Anyway, there is overtime, so there is still a chance of victory.
Soon, overtime began.
Derrick Favors and Perkins jumped the ball. The former easily beat Perkins and put the ball in the hands of Manu Ginobili.
A beautiful back pass from Manu Ginobili was passed to Chen Feng. At this time, Chen Feng only had Reggie Jackson in front of him, and the distance between him and him was not short.
Naturally, Chen Feng would not miss such an excellent opportunity. He made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line, and the Spurs opened the scoring 3:0 in overtime.
With a stagger, Chen Feng was so easily broken through by Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook's continuous disguises actually made Chen Feng unable to keep up with the rhythm. Coupled with Westbrook's little moves, it made Chen Feng unable to keep up with the rhythm.
Chen Feng was very passive.
In fact, this has something to do with Chen Feng's physical strength. Although he rested for a while before the start of overtime, his physical strength still did not recover much.
Kevin Durant hit a jumper from the right wing to tie the overtime score at 2:3.
Almost at the same position, Chen Feng hit another three-pointer. Reggie Jackson was well prepared and his defense was almost close to his body. However, Chen Feng crossed the ball and opened up a little distance before jumping up and shooting.
Although Reggie Jackson made up the defense in time, it was a pity that Chen Feng's shot was too fast and his shot was blocked a step too late.
When Thunder coach Brooks saw this, he quickly stood up and shouted: "Kevin, Russell, you two switch defenses, you must guard against Chen Feng."
Under Kevin Durant's tight man-to-man defense, Manu Ginobili's ball passed halftime with great difficulty, and he quickly handed the ball to Chen Feng.
He watched with envy as Chen Feng used his absolute speed advantage to pass Kevin Durant in just a few clicks, so easily and effortlessly. He also had such explosive power back then, but unfortunately he could only use his rhythm now.
Chen Feng cleverly dribbled the ball past Russell Westbrook using his super explosive power. At the same time, the ball was quickly passed out and accurately handed over to Kawhi Leonard on the baseline.
The player shoots the ball easily, and rarely misses such a shot.
Thunder head coach Coach Brooks requested a timeout. Chen Feng's outstanding performance at the beginning of overtime completely disrupted his own tactics and actually helped the Spurs start the game 9:2.
Moreover, Chen Feng's breakthrough was so sharp that even Russell Westbrook's strong defensive ability could not make him pause for a moment.
Coach Brooks, the coach of the Thunder, said seriously: "I am very dissatisfied with the game just now, but this is not only your problem, I also have to bear a certain responsibility. I didn't expect that Chinese Chen Zai played for such a long time.
And there’s so much physical strength.”
Russell Westbrook said helplessly: "Well, his passing skills are also terrible. Not only are his skills excellent, but his explosive power is also very strong. I could keep up with his speed just now, but in physical confrontation
In the middle, I was completely at a disadvantage, and he broke through so easily. I didn't expect that he had such amazing explosive power. To be honest, it is difficult for one person to guard against him."
Although Russell Westbrook looks very strong, Chen Feng is stronger than him. In the words of fans, Chen Feng's physical fitness is simply a bug.
Coach Brooks naturally knows Russell Westbrook very well. With Westbrook being so conceited and saying such discouraging words, Thunder coach Brooks had to take it seriously and thought for a moment before saying:
"In this case, Kevin and Russell, you two should pay attention to double-team defense. The opponent's shooting guard Ginobili is old and his condition will not last long. As long as Chen Feng is strangled, the Spurs will be in disarray.
"
Seeing the eyes of Thunder coach Brooks flashing cold light from time to time, **Vicci felt calm in his heart. The game has reached this point, no matter he wins or loses, **Vicci will not blame his disciple.
Although the consecutive scoring on his side has disrupted the opponent's tactics, the overtime has just begun. The opponent can make adjustments calmly and increase his defense. If he can control himself, the first choice player will automatically
It has to be Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook's defense is as good as his offensive ability, and he also has extraordinary speed. In short-distance contact, he will definitely bring great success to himself.
Big trouble comes.
However, Chen Feng is not very worried. Although he only fought once, his physical confrontation ability seems to be a little higher than Russell Westbrook. In addition, he also has an advantage in speed. Unless the opponent devotes all his energy to
On defense, otherwise I have absolute confidence.
However, Chen Feng alone is not enough. The key is to revitalize the entire team's offense. Flexibility is the Spurs' best style of play. He said seriously to Chen Feng: "Chen, in the following games, you must
Mobilize your teammates quickly and get them into the state. After all, your outstanding performance will only make the opponent double-team you."
Now, the two teams enter overtime, which is the real moment of bayonet.
People on both sides will do whatever it takes to win the game.
After the timeout, the Thunder's scoring machine Kevin Durant used his body to break through to the basket and beat Kawhi Leonard for a layup.
His layup also won cheers from the fans in the audience.
"**, when did Kevin have such strength? He looks really thin." Kawhi Leonard rubbed his shoulders and said depressedly.
**Vitch still underestimated Coach Brooks' determination. As soon as Chen Feng showed strong momentum, the Thunder began to double-team Chen Feng. Moreover, he had two giants, except Russell Westbrook.
In addition to his excellent defensive ability, there is also Kevin Durant. The tacit understanding between the two makes their double-teaming effect undoubtedly reach a higher level.
Under the tight defense of Russell Westbrook, Chen Feng slowly brought the ball across the half court. In just a short period of time, Russell Westbrook tried to sneak attack several times, but failed to implement it.
All he has to do is consume Chen Feng's physical strength! (To be continued...)
