Is there such a thing? Is there really a team that can do this? Have the Spurs in history really done it?
Or is this just a "forcible reinforcement" move made by history in order to defend its original inertia?
No one knows, whether it is yes or no, it is at this point anyway, you either lose or win.
The Lakers called a timeout, which was also the last timeout they could use in this quarter. No one thought that the Spurs would have such a "big move". At this time, even the Heat watching in front of the TV screen
The team also felt palpitations. Come on, that’s the “whole team The.Zone”! This is truly the “whole team The.Zone” that the whole team is in! It’s not the kind of side ball that the whole team was in before. It counts as an explosion of the whole team.
"The.Zone".
When "Zen Master" Jackson proposed this concept, he probably thought that it was just a theoretical state and an ideal state. Unexpectedly, in the hands of Popovich, an "old drunkard", he really made a lot of fine-tuning through a lot of practice
, accomplished this by force. Therefore, all the teams in the league were a little surprised.
It means that the Spurs team has become "nearly invincible" all of a sudden.
In the future, James will say that the Spurs in the 13-14 season are the strongest opponents he has ever encountered. Perhaps, it is not a matter of "flattering".
At this moment, no one on the Lakers team could look normal anymore.
It is impossible to defeat this without a "miracle".
What kind of "miracle"? It would take 35 seconds and 13 minutes, 8 points in 10 seconds, that kind of "miracle".
It is impossible for one person's offense and defense to fight against a team in this state. People are now truly "clasping their fingers into a fist." No matter how thick your fingers are, can you really fight against a "fist"?
So...is it impossible?
As soon as this thought appeared, it was almost impossible to get rid of.
I knew my opponent was strong, but I didn't expect it would turn out like this.
The Spurs fans on the forum went crazy, but the Lakers fans were basically dumb.
Mike D'Antoni can no longer devise any tactics. The current situation cannot be solved by a head coach of his level. Perhaps if he replaces several other famous coaches in Presidential Hill, it is hard to say.
Is this the Spurs' "real trump card"?
The "history" of dog days! Are you sure you didn't do anything in it???
Tang Qian felt a little unbalanced in his heart, because this situation had never happened before in the original time and space. The Spurs have a team's explosive strength comparable to that of the "Legendary Green Army". It's okay to say, that's true. "The whole team.
Zone"? Sir, I have played against the "Legendary Green Army", okay? They have definitely not reached this level! They are definitely not good!!!
But Tang Qian doesn't want to think about it. His existence, Kobe's current state, and the Lakers' situation this season are reasonable. Aren't they originally unreasonable, or even non-existent?
"The.Zone"? Is the entire team's offense and defense exploding? So it is difficult for one person to defeat him???
Then...now with the Lakers, I am the only one who can seize that 1% chance!
Only I can!!!
Nash seemed to have made a very important decision. At this moment, the depression, shame, and unwillingness of the entire series were all gathered in his heart. Then he lowered his head, slowly tightened his shoelaces, and stood up to play.
"Steve, do you still want to hit me? I'm not Patrick." Parker teased while defending. As long as the Lakers make a few more mistakes after a timeout, the game will definitely end early. As a perennial player in the league,
The elite No. 1 position, it is impossible for the French not to know this. But Nash ignored him. Kobe was obviously in a bit of an abnormal state tonight. He was trapped by his "Tiebreak Curse", so someone needs to step up from the outside.
.
Nick Young, Jordan Farmar, they are either inexperienced or incompetent, so they need me to step up.
"Steve is dribbling the ball. We can't make any more mistakes now. We don't have enough time anymore. We have to handle it more carefully. Ah? What? Steve suddenly shot from the top of the arc? This..." Don't say it
Bill McDonald was stunned, and Parker, who was guarding Nash, was also a little confused. Does this guy still dare to shoot? Does he really think he can still score?
As a result, I swiped~ and the basketball entered the net and went in.
123-136, the Lakers are still 13 points behind.
The Spurs turned around and scored, 123-138, and the score difference became 15 points.
Nash controlled the ball, forced a break through Parker, rushed inside, and passed the ball to Tang Qian. Tang Qian took the opportunity to dunk under the basket and scored 2 points.
125-138, still 13 points.
The Spurs' breakthrough layup caused a defensive foul on the Lakers. They made 2 free throws, 140-125, and it became 15 points.
Now, who can come to save the Lakers now? Who can come out to burn it?
Countless Lakers fans were sitting in front of their TVs and computers, already nervous to a certain extent, but this could not affect Nash. He broke through again, and then faked a shot and quickly passed it backhand. The ball went out and the basketball reached Knick outside the three-point line.
In Yang's hands, strangely enough, Nick Yang felt that the ball was extremely comfortable and natural, as if it had been adjusted for him. He knew that Nash had good passing skills, and the ball he passed was originally better than
The rest of the Lakers were much more comfortable, but it was so comfortable that it seemed like he didn’t need to adjust the ball at all after getting it. This was the first time he caught the ball. Even if Steve Nash passed it to him, this was his first time with the Lakers.
once!
Nick Young is different from Meeks. He is not the kind of person who dares not take shots. Although he is often criticized for his poor brain and shot selection, right now, the Lakers don't just need such "bad brains" and "shooting"
A "bad choice" person?
You must dare to take shots and shoot decisively.
The basketball flew out of Nick Young's hands, and more than a second later, although it was not hollow, it rolled into the Spurs' basket. The 3-pointer was hit!
"Nick made a great shot! This ball is very crucial!" Bill McDonald said.
128-140. In fact, Nick Young himself was a bit clueless about this ball. After all, daring to shoot is one thing, whether he can make the shot is another matter. However, he still made the shot. Even at the moment of release
, a little unstable, but still went in.
Why? Because Steve Nash passed the ball so steadily and so well, Nick Young's shooting "error tolerance rate" has increased a lot. This is really not a fantasy statement. If you really compete with Gao
If you have played against a top-level point guard, you will know that there is a big difference between passing the ball and receiving the pass from him. This can directly make your shots and actions faster, more timely and more efficient.
In line with your own rhythm. This is true for basketball and football. Passing well and steadily will definitely benefit the attacker.
The Spurs played a Post.Sets tactic, which was specially designed for the low post. Ginobili rushed from the wing to the elbow area to cover Duncan, who was pretending to hold the ball and support him. Duncan took the opportunity to hold the ball and get inside. Duncan took the shot.
Tang Qian moved to block the ball. But the arc of the ball was so weird that it didn't look like a shot at all. Sure enough, such a high parabolic throw was unlikely to hit the basket, so Duncan's ball was a pass. Spurs
In the 3rd position, Leonard made an alley-oop dunk with a diagonal stab.
Boom~
Access the network~
128-142.
The Lakers still had Nash holding the ball, Nash broke through, and Parker defended, but the former turned around and broke through, and once again reached the inside. What? How could he still have this kind of breakthrough ability? He is 40 years old?
If you want to have this ability, wouldn't you have used it before? Why...wait? This guy is...
After Nash broke through Parker, he made another fake layup. The basketball seemed to have eyes and flew directly into the hands of Nick Young, who had just moved to the right at a 45-degree angle.
Nick Young didn't expect that Nash's pass would be so timely. He and he arrived at the position almost at the same time.
I was stunned for a moment before taking the shot, and the ball... went in again!
Another assisted three-pointer!
131-142.
Parker finally discovered the problem, that is, the 40-year-old man in front of him had actually entered a "super god state"!
"Super God"? He is already this age? His strength has dropped a lot, and his physical fitness is almost exhausted. How can he still be "Super God"?
How did he do it? So, does the spirit transcend the body?
The Spurs attack, with continuous large-scale shifts across the board, and the basketball moves at high speed. Although under normal circumstances, this is simply a "looking for mistakes" rhythm, but right now, there is no problem at all. The five Spurs have formed a truly inseparable team.
of the whole.
After receiving a high-quality screen from the bottom corner, Danny Green made a three-pointer and hit it again.
131-145, Lakers fans all lamented.
But unexpectedly, Steve Nash actually succeeded in scoring the next ball, allowing Tang Qian to hit the ball from the inside, which also caused Leonard, who was defending, to get a foul and an extra penalty opportunity. Tang Qian did not miss the ball.
Score a goal, brush~, 2+1 is successful.
134-145, 11 points left.
The Spurs' tactical attack, Leonard used the screen to take a 2-point shot and hit the ball.
Nash continued to break through, and Parker made a hard pass on this ball, but Nash directly came up with a "circle", passively allowing Tang Qian to become a screen, and went in with the ball. The Spurs blocked Nash's pass.
route, but Nash took it on his own.
Although he didn't make a hit, he still got 2 free throw opportunities.
Quickly~ A steady 2-for-2 from the free throw line, 136-147, still 11 points away.
The Spurs gave the ball to Parker to beat Nash, but it became one of the turning points of the game. Because Tony Parker was actually intercepted by Lakers No. 10 when he was dribbling. Nash wanted to hold it
He almost fell to the ground after the ball was thrown, but he still gritted his teeth and forced himself to steady his body, staggering forward, adjusting while dribbling.
Leonard's return to defense was very timely. After all, he is still young and energetic, and Popovich is good at allocating player time, so his physical fitness is still quite abundant at the moment. If Nash directly chooses to go fast for this ball
If he goes for a layup, there is definitely a probability of more than 70% that the Spurs No. 2 will stage a vigorous chase.
But Nash didn't look back at all, and chose to force a layup, which made Leonard instantly jump up, stretch out his long arms, and block the shot. However, the ball was blocked. Leonard's timing of blocking the shot was not a problem.
, Nash’s jump was not very high, but it was a missed shot. Leonard was still surprised, but he heard the Lakers’ on-site commentator Bill McDonald say: “This is really a beautiful pass, and another one.
Nick, will he go in? Nick didn't adjust, Nick took the shot, three-pointer, Yes! Hit! Nick! Young!!!"
Nick Young is also feeling it! He waved his hands excitedly and made an "O.K glasses" gesture, making the whole audience cheer for him. 139-147, the Lakers finally caught up to single digits again
.
Popovich discovered a problem. It is not enough to fight against "The.Zone" by one person's offense and defense. However, what if it is the master of the No. 1 position, what if it is Steve Nash? This is equivalent to...
...He forcibly connected the entire Lakers team by himself.
Just like when he was already in his thirties, he could still start going crazy after landing in Phoenix City.
Force the entire team to resist! Force the entire team to resist!
Yes, it's useless for one person to be super offensive and defensive, but what if it's a situation like Nash's?
Like the "Magic" back then, how about forcing an outbreak to connect the entire team?
What about this model? Maybe, it’s not someone from the Lakers team who is fighting against it.
However, it is impossible for him to last long. He retreated not long after he broke out before. In this state, it is even more impossible to last. Because his body cannot bear it anymore.
Because he is over 40 years old after all!
Popovich is invincible in tactics, invincible in military management, and invincible in coaching players. The Spurs have always been super stable.
However, he also has an "old problem" of always being unable to estimate some "supernormal" or "miraculous" things.
This is why the Spurs always serve as the backdrop for all kinds of great records and scenes.
Of course, Popovich cannot be blamed for this, because "miracles" and even "miracles" are factors that cannot be calculated.
You can calculate everything to the maximum, but what about things beyond the limit? Can you? No one can.
That’s why Vince Carter beat the Spurs in 1.7 seconds, Fisher beat the Spurs in 0.4 seconds, Marbury beat the Spurs in 0.9 seconds, Howard alley-ooped the Spurs in 0.8 seconds, Tracy McGrady scored 13 points in 35 seconds, and Paul beat the Spurs.
The Spurs, Ray Allen's so-called "saved" key three-pointer, and so on. This series is the "masterpiece" of the Spurs.
Therefore, there are limits to calculations that can be considered exhaustive, because there are some things that cannot be calculated.
For example, Nash, he can no longer feel the condition of his body. His whole body is like a juicer that is constantly extracting, just to allow himself to stay in this state for one more second and one more minute. The Spurs missed the shot.
Nash was heavily defended on the Lakers' next ball. The basketball could only be passed to Tang Qian in the paint. But just when Tang Qian was about to hit the ball, he found that the ball in his hand had been "touched away".
"Who? Not a Spurs player, but Lakers No. 10, Steve Nash.
This ball was later called the "Phoenix Wind Hand" because Nash went crazy and everyone else stole it.
Tang Qian didn't expect Nash to do this, and the Spurs even less expected it. Nash passed the ball, and Kobe shot a three-pointer and hit it. This was one of the few goals Kobe scored in the fourth quarter and one of the few points he scored.
And all of this is because of Steve Nash.
Like an old phoenix bathed in fire and wind, he began to burn himself completely.
This is definitely a classic example of "the spirit transcends the body". This kind of example is rare. Even Jordan and Kobe will not have too many in their entire careers. But once it occurs, it will definitely be a classic among classics.
Of course, the premise is to win, otherwise, there will be no need to discuss and talk about it.
142-147, the Spurs wanted to hit a "cheap ball", but unexpectedly, Tony Parker, who had hit the ball accurately before, was caught by Nash and was forcibly touched. Well, that is, he barely caught up.
A block came from behind. Oh my god, Steve Nash only blocked 0.1 shots in his career! There were only 14 blocks in the playoffs. I didn't expect that this 15th time would appear at such a critical point in time.
Nash already felt uncomfortable playing the ball, so he did it reluctantly. After all, his body was not what it used to be.
But he couldn't stop, because if he stopped, he wouldn't be able to go in again.
If...if the Western Conference Finals is really destined to be my highest stage...then I will burn the last of everything here. But the Lakers must go further! They must advance because of my efforts.
ah!!!
On this ball, the Spurs' team defense reached a tight level. This is basically when the Lakers' tactics and coordination failed. The Spurs have always focused on defending the inside area, and Kobe's touch was not good, so.
One and a half steps away from the top arc, Steve Nash took action.
Parker didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Lakers No. 10 would handle it so "sloppily". He jumped to block the shot and interfered, which was half a step too late. However, Nash did not make the shot. No matter how brave he is, he is not a superman.
The energy is basically almost exhausted. Completely exhausted. Therefore, the accuracy of this ball has naturally declined.
But no one expected that the rebound would be thrown out by the Lakers' No. 29 and forcefully won.
Even though he was surrounded by the Spurs after landing, Tang Qian still swung his elbow and threw the offensive rebound high.
Because there was no one in sight, the ball only had a general direction. The basketball landed a few meters away from the top arc three-point line. There were only two people closest to this place, one was Tony Parker of the Spurs and the other
It's Steve Nash of the Lakers.
Without saying a word, the two people started chasing the basketball at the same time.
But Parker is obviously much faster. After all, Parker is only 32 years old and is still on the tail end of his peak, so it is normal for his legs and feet to be faster than Nash. But at this time, everyone on the Lakers team was surprised.
Because in the next second, Steve Nash actually jumped out of the air and directly towards the orange basketball.
Bang! Nash was so willing to take care of his body that he finally got the basketball half a second ahead of Parker.
Then, he kept walking, even though his chest and ribs seemed to be numb, he ignored it.
He rushed directly to the Spurs' three-point line, and then took advantage of the fact that no one was guarding him while he was still breathing.
Shoot the ball.
The basketball drew an unusually high arc, flew over the high post, crossed the free throw line, passed the reasonable collision zone, and flew towards the Spurs' basket.
Brush~
"Life, hit!!! Hit!!! Steve Nash!!! Three-pointer!!! Three-pointer!!! Only 2 points away, we are only 2 points behind San Antonio!!!"
Come on!!! Come on Lakers!!! Lakers!!!" Bill McDonald couldn't help but choked up. He never thought that at this juncture of the Lakers, Nash would be the winner.
It would be this 40-year-old guy, Steve Nash.
Popovich was angry. He called a timeout, but he had nowhere to vent his anger, because he could see that the Spurs were playing well as a whole and were still in the "Team Zone", but they were beaten.
The opponent caught up with the score difference.
Just rely on an old guy in his 40s to catch up with him through explosive and "super-god" connections.
In the remaining minutes, neither side could guard the other. In the last 17 seconds, the score was tied at 155-157. If you still remember the score at the beginning of the fourth quarter, you will know that these two goals
The Lakers and Spurs all scored close to 60 points in this quarter! This has both broken the league's playoff single-quarter scoring record set by the Lakers in 1962!
To put it simply, both teams played like crazy! They played like crazy! No one could guard the other!
But the Lakers were still lagging behind, even though they still had the ball for the final shot.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The most tense moment has arrived. This goal is crucial to the Lakers and the history of the entire NBA league."
"You must fight cautiously and cautiously."
T.N.T live broadcast room.
"The Lakers should give this ball to Kobe. At such a critical moment, it is unrealistic to penetrate inside and break through. The Spurs' defense will definitely improve to the extreme. It is most appropriate to give it to Kobe, who has the most offensive ability and offensive means.
."
"However, Kobe is stuck in his own 'Tiebreak Curse' in this game. Can he do it?"
ESPN Live Room.
"Defend Kobe well, defend the inside with heavy troops, and you will win this game."
"History is still on San Antonio's side."
Just when Nash was in control of the ball, a sudden situation occurred. Danny Green of the Spurs suddenly pushed Steve Nash, who was dribbling the ball forward. Nash had no strength at the moment, and he was relying solely on his breath.
Support, so this time, he actually rolled over directly from the sideline and fell towards the technical table.
Wait, this scene is so similar to the scene against the Spurs in 2007, Horry's move.
The Spurs are very strong, but they are also recognized as a team in the league that will do whatever it takes to win.
This time, whether intentional or not, there is a bit of a "yin" element.
But it's different from Horry's move in 2007. The range of that move was really too big, and the range of this move is so small that it's almost hard to see. Moreover, the main reason is that Nash's current physical fitness is far inferior to that of Nash.
It was Nash in 2007. Therefore, if the referee was going to call this ball, it would definitely be for Nash dribbling out of bounds.
After all, he stumbled on his own and got out, right? Besides, at this time, no one dared to blow the whistle again.
The last time Nash was whistled for a 3+1 penalty, many people complained, especially Spurs fans. They thought it was a "black whistle" and a "nanny behavior" by the league, and they wanted to force the extension of the game. In fact, the ball passed slowly.
Looking back at the action, it was all a foul. It was just that many people clung to the unspoken rule that "players decide the game at the last moment", which made the referee take the blame and put pressure on him.
If this "bluff" continues, Spurs fans will probably be in trouble.
Moreover, Danny Green's movement of the ball is very hidden, and it is indeed difficult to see it.
So, the Lakers are going to make a mistake? Just like in 2007, the whole team will fall because of their own mistakes?
Fall in the Western Conference Finals again? Fall under the iron heel of San Antonio?
No, no! Absolutely not this time! I must...save this ball!
"Steve, Steve didn't take any protective action. He turned around and went to get the ball. The basketball was passed out by him the moment it landed!" Bill McDonald said: "The ball just landed.
He directly dribbled the ball in, hit from the middle, hit from the middle and dunked! BANG!!! It’s in!!! The Spurs didn’t stop the ball!!! It’s in!!!”
"The ball went in!!!"
Did you get in? That’s great. This time, I have no regrets.
No more regrets.
Steve Nash hit the technical platform and fell to the ground.
PS: Try to finish the Western Conference Finals tonight! Everyone, cheer for Xiao Zi! All of Xiao Zi’s outlines have been written, so there’s no need to worry about failing to finish. Don’t worry~ This is the first update!!! Thank you so much for the Pope’s oath.
