"God, Zhao Chen hit a step-back three-pointer again. This is his signature offensive move. Who can stop him?"
"Are the Spurs really going to be swept?"
the TNT commentator shouted.
The ATT Arena was extremely quiet due to Zhao Chen's step-back three-pointer.
Popovich also urgently called to stop the game.
If they lose this game, there is still a way out for the Lakers, but there is no way out for the Spurs.
If the Spurs lose again, their series will not be over as experts say, but it will really be over.
There was constant sweat on Duncan's forehead. His gray beard and deep eyes made him still look extremely calm.
The power of time makes Duncan feel that the Zhao Chen in front of him is extremely powerful and difficult to deal with.
"Tim, give me a pick-and-roll later and I'll rush in." Ginobili came over to find Duncan and said.
Ginobili wasn't planning on shooting the 3-pointer as Popovich told him to.
The Lakers' perimeter defense is too strong and the defense is suffocating. Popovich's tactical arrangement makes it impossible to find opportunities. This is their on-court experience since they faced off against the Lakers.
Popovich doesn't seem to realize this yet.
They didn't feel it during the regular season, but now, Ginobili has to admit that Popovich has not kept up with the rhythm of the times. He only views the Lakers according to the way they deal with traditional strong teams.
This approach is fatal.
Far from enough.
The Lakers' singles are too strong, and their three-point ability is too outstanding, and ordinary defense can't guard them at all.
Pause back.
Ginobili controls the ball and conducts tactical command.
Mills and Belinelli opened up space, but the Spurs didn't play Parker at the critical moment, and Parker didn't shoot...
Kobe defended Ginobili, and Duncan put up a screen to help Ginobili block Kobe.
With a snake-like pace, Ginobili held the ball into the paint and passed Jokic. He turned around deftly and made a layup to score the ball!
103 to 102.
"Oh, the Spurs still expressed their determination to win this game."
"Looking at the desperate situation, Ginobili once again showed his value. It is not that easy for the Lakers to win this game."
shouted the local San Antonio commentator! !
After seeing that the team failed to defend the ball, Scott on the sidelines was a little anxious at first, but after he saw Zhao Chen and Kobe on the court, he gradually calmed down.
"How to attack?" Kobe asked Zhao Chen while waiting for the serve.
"Create space, I'll take care of it." Zhao Chen said after looking at Kobe with a determined look.
"OK, I'll leave that to you." Kobe nodded.
Within a season, trust was established between Kobe and Zhao Chen.
Jokic sent the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball past half court.
The time has already entered less than two minutes.
The time on the timer also kept beating.
The Spurs fans at the scene held their breath after cheering.
Zhao Chen put too much pressure on them.
This time it's not Leonard who is guarding Zhao Chen alone, but Danny Green.
Danny Green didn't dare to get too close because he was afraid of Zhao Chen's breakthrough, but he didn't dare to go too far because he was afraid that Zhao Chen would shoot directly.
Danny Green has average talent and not strong athletic ability, but he is active defensively, has good awareness, and is full of experience.
Zhao Chen did not choose to play Danny Green in isolation, but waved for Jokic to cover.
Jokic came up with Duncan and took Danny Green away.
Duncan stayed to guard Zhao Chen out of position.
Kobe and Harris pulled apart on both sides.
The Spurs did not dare to attack easily during this period, and they were also afraid of Zhao Chen's assist.
The tactic during the last period of time is one-on-one defense!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Zhao Chen continuously changed directions to shake Duncan.
Duncan has more experience than when he was young, but his body really can't keep up with Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's continuous changes of direction were a kind of torture for him.
Even more relaxed, Zhao Chen took a sudden step and then retreated in a super big way!
Duncan can't defend himself!
Zhao Chen's eyes were instantly empty!
The knife falls from the hand! !
Kick the ground to exert force! !
Gorgeous arc! !
"Uh-huh!"
106 to 102.
The score difference widened to 4 points.
Duncan was squatting on the ground. Guarding against Zhao Chen was a kind of physical and mental torture.
"Oh, continual retreats widened the gap."
"Duncan really tried his best. It's really impossible to let him guard Zhao Chen now."
"Poor Duncan..."
"Zhao Chen is awesome and reliable at critical moments!"
The fans at ATT Arena fell into silence again. They were no longer so confident. They once again felt the atmosphere of danger.
Zhao Chen today is too scary.
It was so scary that Kobe was willing to be his supporting role at critical moments.
Spurs attack.
Ginobili dribbled to the frontcourt, and Kobe defended alone.
Ginobili did not control the time, but made a sharp change to Kobe's right.
Kobe couldn't keep up, Ginobili got into position, and Kobe continued to put pressure.
Zhao Chen followed Leonard and gave Leonard no chance to connect the ball.
Ginobili himself hit Jokic hard.
Jokic's defense range was large, and Ginobili's flying layup was interfered with.
The layup missed, and Duncan got the rebound!
Duncan wants a beater!
But just when the basketball and the backboard are about to collide!
"boom!"
A palm flew out from behind Duncan and nailed the ball firmly to the backboard!
Pegboard big hat.
The player who flew up was Zhao Chen.
This is not the only time that Zhao Chen made a big mistake at a critical moment!
He's done this defense many times.
Duncan's current movements seemed to Zhao Chen to be too slow.
Zhao Chen's next shot was controlled by Jokic.
Jokic protected the ball firmly, and the Spurs players quickly retreated after they couldn't grab it!
"Many people think that the Spurs have a chance to win until the last minute, but I don't think so. The Lakers are the best team in the league at playing key shots. Zhao Chen shot 75% at key moments this season. As long as it's In a game where the score difference was within 5 points in the last two minutes, Zhao Chen's success rate was too high," Barkley shouted.
"Yes, the Spurs are facing a difficult moment at this time. Duncan has just encountered Zhao Chen's nail board block, which is a bit difficult for him to accept." Kenny Smith said.
Jokic gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and the fans at ATT Arena felt their hearts go cold.
Zhao Chen is not only terrible offensively, but his defense is also terrible.
Although the fans were cold-hearted, they still insulted Zhao Chen.
"Zhao, go back to Los Angeles!"
"This is our territory."
"You're going to lose this game."
"Yellow people are not suitable for playing basketball."
"Go back and sleep with your girlfriend."
....
The fans' foul language continued throughout the game.
The quality of the fans here is really low.
Zhao Chen is the main target! !
In the frontcourt, the Spurs finally did not dare to let Zhao Chen play alone.
Ginobili and Danny Green flanked Zhao Chen at the same time.
Zhao Chen chose to pass the ball to Kobe, and Kobe faked a shot, attracting the defensive attention and then passed the ball to Zhao Chen. Jokic blocked Ginobili for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen found an opportunity to retreat while dribbling and dodging!
Outside the three-point line, facing Danny Green's defense one meter to the right, Zhao Chen once again found an opportunity, stepped back to collect the ball and made a quick jumper! ! !
This ball Danny Green sealed his hand on Zhao Chen's face! !
but! !
"Uh-huh!"
109 to 102.
Zhao Chen retreated and hit consecutively to seal the victory!
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen put his index finger in the middle of his mouth and then challenged the audience!
Shut up, everyone! !
Very arrogant posture!
Zhao Chen's strong shot that ignored the defense made Barkley open his mouth.
Barkley shouted: "This guy's strong shooting ability is so abnormal, he just ignores the defense."
"That's the epitome of this season, no matter what level of defense he's facing, he can put the ball in the basket," Smith said.
The air in the entire arena was frozen.
A three-point combo with a step back at the last moment?
What a fart!
Ginobili and Popovich both closed their eyes in despair.
And there was a carnival on the Lakers bench! !
In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 111-104, with the Lakers leading the Spurs 3-0!
The Spurs lost this home game cleanly! !
