knife point guard

Chapter 259 [Defending the title! Win the championship again! 】

beep!

The whistle sounded.

Game start.

During the timeout, TNT's cameras captured the dispute on the Pacers' bench. Suhi and Carlisle were arguing on the tactical board. Although no one knew what they were talking about, it is not difficult to see from this scene that the Pacers are suffering an unprecedented huge pressure.

As Kenny Smith said, the Pacers may even lose the finals three to zero.

As disgusting as what the Spurs did, you have to admit that what he did worked.

Suzy walked onto the court.

The Pacers restarted.

When Su Xi got the ball, he charged inside and then settled in the key area.

At this time, the Pacers players who followed him on the court were: Fred Jones, Artest, Stephen Jackson, and Foster.

Foster urged to play, his nose no longer bleeding.

This is a small lineup.

The Spurs' lineup is: Tony Parker, Ginobili, Robert Horry, Tim Duncan, and Mohammed.

Su Xi did not enter the penalty area. He directly named Tony Parker in the most critical key area. He squeezed Parker away with a post-up shot, then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.

The action is pretty standard.

Swish!
  Basketball was caught.

The Pacers scored.

AT&T Arena made a dull sound.

This is Su Xi's warning to Spurs fans.

Michael Jordan squeezed his fist slightly, he liked Su Xi's attack.

In his opinion, the star player should score points in the most difficult places and nail down the opponent's defensive formation when the team is in trouble.

Suhi hit this shot, and the Spurs' defense fell into a passive position. They must find Bowen's replacement to prevent Suhi's destructive power from expanding.

The Spurs' defense is not afraid of attackers, but they are afraid of players who can score points in front of them.

back.

The basketball was handed to Duncan, who singled out Stephen Jackson. He quickly turned around, and Artest immediately flanked Duncan. The two locked Duncan, and Duncan passed the ball subconsciously. The moment he passed the basketball, Su Xi rushed out like lightning.

He jumped up and collided with Ginobili in the air. Ginobili was knocked down by Su Xi.

Su Xi grabbed the basketball and ran forward.

After Ginobili landed, he couldn't pursue it because he sprained his foot.

He squatted on the ground and made a sound of pain.

However, Su Xi did not stop at all. He rushed into the penalty area like lightning. He forced his way through Tony Parker's defense. Even though Parker pulled his clothes hard, he still jumped like a bull and hit the basketball into the basket. basket.

Parker couldn't stop the angry Su Xi.

beep!

The whistle sounded and Su Xi walked to the free throw line.

Popovich protested on the sidelines, shouting loudly and putting pressure on the referee.

He believed that Suhi committed a flagrant foul, and he believed that Suhi should be sent off because Ginobili was injured.

There is no justification for his rant, except for the fact that the home fans support him.

Most viewers in front of the TV thought Popovich had a double standard.

Suhi and Ginobili are competing against each other in the air. They are competing for the ball.

Ginobili was injured because he did not have enough confrontation and physical fitness. In this case, he should not be allowed to play. The risk of injury will definitely increase when he plays, not to mention an aerial confrontation with a player with strong physical fitness like Su Xi.

Popovich's accusation at this time can only illustrate his hypocrisy and double standards.

His players intentionally hurt Pacers players, and he even did so with a smile.

Now, when one of his players is accidentally injured, he will cry and complain about unfairness.

Are the Pacers players not players?

Swish!
  Su Xi hit an extra penalty, further widening the point difference.

Ginobili was sent off the court and replaced by Brent Barry.

The game continues.

Tony Parker launched his assault under the defense of Fred Jones. He quickly rushed to the penalty area, and used a turning movement to shake off the defending Foster, and then he took off and shot.

This is a classic operation of French small sports cars, and the success rate is very high.

However, the moment he completed his turn and was about to lay up, a figure came from outside the three-point line, jumped violently, stretched out his right hand and blocked the shot in the air, as sharp as an eagle catching a chicken.

Snapped!
  Su Xi's right hand hit the basketball, and the basketball hit the backboard hard and bounced out.

After Su Xi landed, he quickly ran back. Foster also grabbed the rebound. Duncan came up to help defend. He flicked the basketball hard and passed it to the frontcourt.

But as soon as he landed, Tony Parker, who was trying to get through from his side, bumped head-on into his thrown elbow... Bang!

He hit the bridge of his nose on the spot, bleeding profusely.

Su Xi had already received the ball in the frontcourt. Facing Horry's pursuit, he showed no fear. He treated him like air and threw him aside with a change of direction. Entering the penalty area...boom!

Su Xi dunked again.

The walkers are full of momentum.

Tony Parker was bleeding profusely.

The Spurs originally had a great advantage, but now, Ginobili and Tony Parker have been injured one after another, the point difference is still widening, and morale is no longer on their side.

Popovich yelled on the sidelines. He claimed that Foster was an executioner. He claimed that Foster was a murderer.

However, Foster did not confront him, he just pointed to his nose.

This action speaks louder than a thousand words.

When Foster's nose was beaten and covered in blood, Popovich didn't say anything, and the referee didn't even say anything.

Foster was still attacked directly from behind by Bruce Bowen after a layup.

And Tony Parker's injury was simply an accident. The slow motion shows that if Tony Parker hadn't wanted to take a shortcut, and if Duncan hadn't pressed, the collision would have been impossible.

Foster was a normal pass.

"Retribution!"

The CCTV host on the other side of the ocean blurted out.

His words spoke to the voices of hundreds of millions of fans in front of the TV.

When the Spurs tricked Bowen, they should have thought that their players would also get injured.

Although the Pacers did not intend to retaliate.

But God is fair.

Charles Barkley also said this: "God is fair. Today is not the weekend, God goes to work, and he sees everything. Now the Spurs and Pacers are also affected by injuries, who among them will have the last laugh."

The Spurs requested a timeout.

They have now lost their three most important players on the perimeter, which means that only Duncan is left as their offensive core.

Popovich racked his brains after determining that Tony Parker had a broken nose and was unlikely to play again like Foster. He feels a little desperate, he doesn't want to be swept, and there is no record of being swept in the finals in his career.

He deployed new tactics. He asked that every ball be given to Duncan and defend the home court in the last two minutes.

Even losing to the Pacers 1:4 would be better.

beep!

The whistle sounded.

The game continues.

As soon as the Spurs served, Su Xi entangled him and pressed the whole court.

He didn't give the young rookie Udrih any chance to make up for his experience. He went directly to the confrontation, entangled and locked him up, then used his strength to clear the way, completed the steal, passed the basketball to the outside, and Artest took a jumper... Whoosh!

Three point hit.

Since the last timeout, the Pacers have gone 9-0 and their lead has expanded to double digits.

The game time is only 1 minute and 49 seconds.

Everyone knew that the Spurs were helpless.

Although Duncan is very good, how are they going to give the basketball to Duncan?
  With Susie, Artest and Jackson, it's not too much to say that there is an iron chain across the river, right?
  And the whole world can see the murderous look in Su Xi's eyes now. He counts every penny and plays every ball personally. He is obviously active at another level.

"This is a dimensionality reduction strike."

Thomas was bragging in the stands.

But no one could argue with him. Suhi stood up when the team was at its most desperate, with two fast breaks and one mid-range attack, plus steals, blocks and assists.

Who dares to say that Su Xi's strength is set off by the Pacers as a whole?

The Spurs used a full-court screening strategy, specifically arranging Horry to cover on one side.

This gives Chinese fans across the ocean a very familiar feeling.

"Why did the Spurs play the tactics of the former Chinese men's basketball team?"

The CCTV host laughed heartily on the TV.

Udri is a good point guard prospect, but he is still far from Su Xi.

He finally reached the frontcourt and passed the basketball to Duncan.

Duncan got stuck on Jackson and turned around to take action when Artest rushed in and hugged him directly for a foul.

Artest is very decisive.

Duncan goes to the free throw line.

He struggled a little.

boom!
  Didn't score the first goal.

Swish!
  The second goal is scored.

But it doesn't help.

They lost their most precious time.

Then, Su Xi controlled the ball.

Su Xi no longer plays at a fast pace, he slowly advances forward, he comes to the three-point line, and he slowly controls the time.

Udri's attempt to press was like trying to scratch an itch, unable even to get Su Xi to take protective actions.

Popovich stood on the sidelines, helpless.

He wants to request a timeout, he wants to declare garbage time.

Su Xi spent 15 seconds, and then he began to push in, using his body strength.

Udri couldn't stop him, Su Xi pushed inside the three-point line, suddenly turned around, and Barry came to help defend, but his defense was ordinary.

Su Xi turned around lightly, shook them both away easily, jumped up and took action... Whoa!

hit!

The difference was further widened.

The Spurs tried to play a fast break, and the basketball was passed directly to Barry.

But Barry's ability to control the ball was very sparse. Under Artest's close defense, he couldn't even move forward. He quickly collected the ball and was forced to the baseline by Artest. He could only throw the basketball into the penalty area.

He thought Duncan could take the basketball away.

But Su Xi quickly rushed over to resist Duncan, and Foster rushed in front, jumped up and took the basketball away.

The basketball was handed to Su Xi, who passed the half court with the ball and continued to consume time.

Popovich took a look at the score difference and didn't let his players foul.

It doesn't make sense anymore.

Su Xi went to the basket and Mohammed reached out to foul him.

Popovich came on the bench.

At this time, Su Xi walked to the sidelines and said to Reggie Miller: "Reggie, come on. Come and make the last shot of your career."

35 seconds left.

Reggie Miller limped to his feet, touched.

Artest took the initiative to leave the game and replace him.

Then, Su Xi looked at O'Neal: "Can you still come up?"

"Of course!"

O'Neal looked proud.

Stephen Jackson also took the initiative to leave the game.

Swish!Swish!
  Su Xi made two free throws.

Then, the point difference widened to 15 points.

The Spurs' substitute players casually played a wave of offense and scored two points.

O'Neal Jr. sent the basketball to Su Xi with his left hand. Su Xi dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Reggie Miller who was standing outside the three-point line.

At this time, the entire Pacers bench had stood up.

Reggie Miller took the basketball and he aimed for the basket, with Suzy standing next to him.

He used all his strength to throw the basketball.

He didn't take off.

Before this shot in his entire career, he had hit a total of 2599 three-pointers.

Before he took the shot, he already knew it was the last three-point shot of his career.

The all-time leading scorer never expected to throw his final ball this way.

However, the moment he took action, he felt better than ever.

He opened his arms after taking action.

Swish!
  The three-pointer completed a smooth parabola and then fell into the net.

The Pacers bench was in an uproar. Jordan and others all stood up and applauded the veteran. Charles Barkley even choked up in the commentary box.

Miller can be regarded as the star of their generation.

They were moved by Miller's lifelong persistence in Indiana and finally getting a good home.

Miller's face was full of tears at this time, and he hugged Su Xi forcefully: "Thank you, Jack!"

"We should thank you, Reggie." Su Xi patted him on the shoulder: "But you should be cooler now. Do you want to finish your last dance with tears on your face?"

Miller heard this and wiped his tears on Su Xi's shoulder. He turned around and made his classic move.

He bowed to the crowd around San Antonio.

Just like his ultimate defiance at Madison Garden.

However, there was sparse applause in the arena.

No one booed him.

This made him give up the more classic and arrogant provocation ceremony: the throat slitting ceremony.

So much for Reggie Miller's legendary career.

He completed the final three points.

He got his second career championship ring.

The Spurs spent the last 7 seconds.

The whistle sounded for the end of the game.

The game was full of ups and downs.

But in the end, the Pacers had the last laugh.

They were the 2005 NBA champions.

The Spurs players vacated their home court and left with their heads down.

They are the biggest losers of the season and will spend time reflecting on why they failed.

Now, the glory belongs to Indiana.

David Stern walks to the court and he will award the award to Susie and the Pacers.

Although the voting for MVP is still in progress.

But besides Su Xi, who else could it be?
  The Pacers are not a multi-core team, they only have one core, and that is Suhi the Lamb.

Suxi the Lamb has made the greatest start in history, winning two championship trophies and two finals MVP trophies in the first two seasons of his career.

This is where he surpassed Magic, surpassed Bird, surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, surpassed Russell, surpassed Chamberlain, and surpassed Jordan.

TNT footage was given to Jordan.

Jordan looked calm.

He looked like he didn't feel any threat, but who knew what was going on inside?
  But now, what people are more concerned about is: Where will the little sheep Susie go next season?
