233. The lore, another lore
(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)
When Ginobili made a free throw into the circle, Old Nelson used the last timeout without hesitation. They needed to make the final plan, five seconds, or completely push the opponent into the abyss of elimination 2-0, or start over with a tie of 1-1.
Billups frowned and looked at the scoreboard. He thought for a while and said cautiously: "Boss, we should play inside and let Z play the main attack. Even if we fail, it can cause their fouls. This is the most stable way. Then we play extra time. Although this is the territory of the San Antonios, we are younger and more physical, and those old guys can no longer run."
Old Nelson looked directly at his players and slowly shook his head.
"Three-pointer kill!" Everyone understood the old man's plan. He deserved to be the nickname "Mad Scientist". Old Nelson's plan was really crazy.
The question now is who will take the lead in this attack.
A three-pointer win has nothing to do with ability. It tests the nerve core. If the ball enters, you will be the hero of the team and leave your name to the team's history. Once the ball is not hit, you will become the sinner in the mouths of fans, and often encounter criticism from the media and fans for a long time.
West felt hot all the game, made six of eight three-pointers, and had a magical performance in three consecutive games. Looking at his teammates' hesitation, he looked at Old Nelson and said, "Boss, I..."
"Boss, I'll do it!" Chamberlain said firmly.
Everyone was shocked. Chamberlain didn't make a three-pointer in the entire playoffs. At this time, wouldn't he be seeking death?
Ellis expressed this concern, and Chamberlain smiled heartlessly, "The people of San Antonio must think so too."
West pulled Chamberlain and whispered: "Let me do it, z, I feel more today."
Chamberlain patted his shoulder and said, "Dronti, you can't shoot this ball. You don't have the bet to participate in this bet now!"
As soon as he heard this, West stopped talking. Everyone knows what this finale means. This is the playoffs! Indeed, West performed very well in the playoffs. Now he has many fans in San Francisco and Oakland, but these fans are not loyal. If he fails to win this finale, he will be hacked into a cancer of the team by the media again. In this way, his efforts after coming to the Warriors will be in vain!
This three-pointer is a bet, and the only one who is qualified to enter the game to gamble is Chamberlain.
Seeing his teammates' heavy faces, Chamberlain smiled and said, "Guys, what kind of damn expression do you think you are? It seems we have lost? Damn, you know, I have also made the final shot! And I have been practicing three-pointers, right?"
On Christmas Eve last year, when Miami played against the Heat, Chamberlain did make a final shot, and it was a buzzer-beating three-pointer.
Billups was still worried. He thought for a while and said, "I'll do it, z, my three-pointer should give you more confidence."
The timeout is almost over. Without Chamberlain's rebuttal, Old Nelson made a decision. He said decisively: "Let z come, let God comment on this ball. The San Antonio people have a lot of pressure on the outside defense. Chauncey, you will be seen to death!"
Old Nelson's idea was right. When the timeout was over, Ginobili blocked him from all directions as soon as Billups came on the court. Billups finally got the ball near the center line, and it was even more impossible to make a single three-pointer.
Seeing this, Chamberlain served Billups and immediately rushed to the three-point line. Duncan and Oberto were both inside the three-point line, and Chamberlain was open.
Billups could not wait any longer, so he passed the ball to Chamberlain. Chamberlain turned around and wanted to catch the ball, but the moment he turned around, the boiling blood suddenly frozen, because he suddenly saw a thin figure in a white robe appearing in front of him, blocking the ball's origin.
Bowen!
Old Baowen who did not perform much in the whole game!
After all, Bao Wen is old and the intensity of the playoffs is too high, so he has no chance to perform. He is almost a supporting role in the Spurs, but he only occasionally has some highlights on the defensive end.
But this does not mean that the Warriors can underestimate him. Popovich's skill is famous in the NBA, and the Spurs' strength is also famous in the NBA. Bowen's ability to start in this team proves his strength, and being able to win Popovich's favor for a long time shows how unique he is.
Many people just know that Bowen has a good defense and is dirty. For the team to sacrifice himself, but few people have noticed that Bowen, who has such weak physical fitness, can survive in the NBA today. He relies on his outstanding overall view and superior football businessman.
Many people know that Duncan has a high football quotient. His Bachelor of Psychology from Wake Forest University is famous, but Duncan often said in front of the media that someone in the team is smarter than him, that is Bowen. But Bowen has always been low-key, which has been deliberately ignored by people.
When Bowen saw Chamberlain's eyes fluttering and scanning the position outside the three-point line, he knew the opponent's plan. He kept silent, like a cobra preparing to hunt. When Chamberlain waved his hand to ask for the ball, Bowen, who had been pretending to chase Ellis' defense, suddenly attacked and blocked Chamberlain and successfully broke the ball.
This is the first steal from defensive champion Bao Wen in this game, but everyone knows that this kind of steal is more precious than all the steals in the game.
After the steal, only three and a half seconds, Bowen drove the ball forward quickly. He did not look at Ginobili and Parker on both wings. Although the two people ran faster, he just focused on dribbling the ball to the frontcourt. Ellis had no choice but to reach out and wanted to foul Bowen.
But after Bowen rushed to the front three-point line, he rose directly from the ground without hesitation!
Three-pointer!
"Swish!"
Hollow hits the death!
Chamberlain's heart suddenly sank to the bottom! The Warriors players' hearts sank to the bottom! There were countless Warriors fans at the scene, and they burst into tears in disappointment!
Bowen had only one steal in the game, and only made one three-pointer, but it was this steal and this three-pointer that killed the Warriors.
The moment the three-pointer fell into the basket, the outer edge of the rebound also turned red, and the beep that represented the end of the game sounded sharply. When the game ended, the Spurs won the final victory 92-87.
When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, the fans' booed in the At&T Center Stadium. It was not that they were booing the Warriors, but that they were gasping for breath to vent their pressure: "Fuck, this game is so exciting, the players are all fucking big hearts. Damn it, it was not until the last second that they decided to win or lose!"
Duncan, who had always been calm and silent, was also excited. The Spurs players rushed up, including the substitutes on the bench, and they laughed and surrounded Bowen. Kent Thomas roared and picked him up, and the others screamed and carried him to his shoulders.
Chamberlain stood at the midfield line with a dull face. He had just chased him here and Bowen made a long shot and hit a three-pointer. In fact, when Bowen stole the ball, Chamberlain was stunned. He didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, but he subconsciously chased him up, and then watched the opponent hit a three-pointer, so he was so stupid that he was at a loss.
West took off his jersey and smashed it hard on the floor. Billups and Ellis looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Harrington was better. He shouted to Chamberlain: "Hi, z, this is no big deal. We have won one of their home games. Below are our two away games. Our chances are more than these ****s.
Compared to the disciple's disobedience, Old Nelson's performance was much more natural. He smiled and walked up to shake hands with the proud disciple Popovich, and said happily: "Beautiful job, boy, Bowen's old dog has a very sensitive sense of smell, but I think it has nothing to do with you, right?"
The old coach is very proud, so he doesn't admit that he was defeated by Popovich.
Popovich smiled more happily - please, he is the winner, who is happy if he is unhappy? He smiled and said, "What does it matter? It's like what you paid for today's game. What I saw was Chamberlain's rookie fighting for life and death on the court. He is such a great guy. Hi, old man, don't you think he wasted his talent in San Francisco? How about letting him come to me?"
Old Nelson laughed and said, "When you dream, you can think about it, you'd better pray to God, I'm crazy about gaining and losing my heart, otherwise no matter who it is, I can't get Z out of the team. Also, remember that the terms of Bird's Veteran are in my hands. No matter who quotes Z, I will match his offer!"
Popovich said tit-for-tat: "But the Warriors are not your team."
Old Nelson smiled mysteriously and leaned over to Popovich and whispered: "Tell you a secret. Although this team is not mine, it will be no different from mine."
Popovich looked suspicious. Is Mulin going to be fired? Does Old Nelson want the general manager and the head coach to catch him again?
This kind of thing is very common in the NBA. When Old Nelson was on the Mavericks, he was the general manager and head coach. Some other teams did this, such as Isaiah Thomas used to be in the New York Knicks, and Pat Riley now is in the Heat.
This is the first time Chamberlain was killed, and it is the playoffs. What's even more terrible is that he has to take half of the responsibility for being killed this time, because the ball was thrown away in his hands.
After all, Chamberlain is just a nineteen-year-old boy, and he is not a perfect warrior.
Of course, he is getting further and further on the road to Perfect Warriors. This encounter is a test. If he can survive, he will be closer to Perfect Warriors.
However, the transformation process is always painful, and Chamberlain is really in pain now.
Just as he was about to go back, he grabbed him from behind. Chamberlain turned around and saw that it was Bowen, and said unhappy: "What's wrong, are you going to show off in front of me? Be careful that I'll beat you all over the ground for teeth!"
Looking at Chamberlain's frustrated look, Bowen laughed and said, "This is not the super-z I am familiar with. You won't be killed by my kill, right? Boy, everyone knows that the alliance will be yours sooner or later, but it's not that we old men are still in our own positions now."
"I'll send you back to the grave right away." Chamberlain shot back viciously.
