NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 52
Even if the gangsters on the bench performed well, at the last moment, Adelman still believed in his main players.

With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Kings' main players, who had a few more minutes to rest, appeared again.

Lu Yuanzhi shook his head when he came off the field.

There is no way, Adelman is like this, extremely conservative, not good at adapting, and his favorite thing to do is to control the main force to death.

Of course, this is not the most outrageous thing. When Adelman went to coach the Rockets with Yao Ming, he still clings to the Princeton system he inherited. After all, Princeton has become his signature.

Tell a joke and let Yao Ming play in the Princeton system.

Why don't you let O'Neal deal the cards outside the three-point line?
At the end of the fourth quarter, the two teams were tied at 97.

Overtime!
This is not good news for the Kings. They just played a fierce battle with the Mavericks for 48 minutes last night. They did not have a good rest at all, so they flew to San Antonio and played another 48 minutes with the Spurs.

Now, we have to play 5 minutes of overtime?

Divac can hardly run!
But there is good news for the Kings.

Although the Spurs were at home and maintained good physical fitness before the game, a group of substitutes led by Lu Yuanzhi attacked fiercely at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Duncan, the Spurs' absolute core, had to end his rest early and return to the court.

In this game, Duncan has played 44 minutes and is almost exhausted.

What awaits him is a high-intensity five-minute overtime.

Playing time goes straight to 50 minutes, even an iron man can't handle it, not to mention that Duncan is such a big man, the consumption will be much greater than that of ordinary players.

For Lu Yuanzhi, the best news is that Divac's physical strength can't bear it anymore. Adelman finally remembered Lu Yuanzhi's excellent performance at the beginning of the fourth quarter and replaced him.

When Lu Yuanzhi came on the field, it was Rose who was man-marking.

Robinson is really old. He stopped playing after more than 20 minutes in this game. The Spurs gradually began to give up the Twin Towers and let Duncan play center more.

For the first ball in overtime, the Spurs still gave the ball to Duncan at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Later generations of Chinese fans summarized based on GDP's performance on the field, "Sports cars and Buddhas in good times and bad times, and demons and demons in desperate times", which can be said to be a true portrayal of the Spurs' style of play.

Now that the demon sword has not come yet, Teacher Tony's Taoist heart is broken by Lu Yuanzhi. The only one he can rely on at this time is Duncan, the stone Buddha.

Funderburk, who had a superb performance in this game, worked conscientiously to hold up Duncan. Duncan's physical strength dropped a bit, and he hit him on the back a few times, but he didn't squeeze Funderburk away.

But this is not the end.

Duncan made a quick fake move to turn to the right and go to the center. Seeing that Duncan had collected the ball, Fang Debok strode up to follow him, trying to prevent Duncan's jump shot.

What Duncan was waiting for was Funderburk's move. He didn't move his pivot foot, then quickly turned back and returned to the baseline to shoot.

This step was clearly explained, and the defender was shaken away in an unpretentious manner.

The fans at the scene had already raised their hands and were about to cheer, when they suddenly saw Lu Yuanzhi flying over from the side, the cheers turned into exclamations in an instant!

Yes, Lu Yuanzhi knew that the Spurs would only attack Duncan's strong point at this time. He saw the opportunity and once again gave up marking Rose and came over.

Duncan was really tired. After finishing a set of moves, he just jumped up and threw the ball three centimeters off the ground.

When Lu Yuanzhi arrived, the ball was still rising and before it touched the backboard, he slapped the ball directly towards the backboard without hesitation.

block!

Clean caps!
The ball bounced out of the perimeter and was caught by Mike Bibby. Bibby played a lot of time in this game, and it was back to back. His legs seemed to be filled with lead. He wanted to make a quick recommendation, but he really couldn't run.

None of the Kings players could run, except Lu Yuanzhi.

After landing, Lu Yuanzhi had no time to celebrate. He started sprinting from his own baseline, passing players from the Kings and Spurs one after another, and became the one running at the front.

When Bibby saw this scene, he no longer hesitated and lobbed the ball inside the Spurs.

The ball was passed very comfortably, over the head of Ross who was returning to defense, and Lu Yuanzhi could catch it with just a stretch of his hand.

After receiving the ball, Lu Yuanzhi took off directly and dunked the ball heavily into the Spurs' basket.

At 99:97, the Kings took the lead in overtime.

Lu Yuanzhi gave Duncan a big block on the defensive end and scored a fast break dunk, which was particularly conspicuous among the players who were stumbling and exhausted.

Popovich roared loudly on the sidelines, spraying wildly at Rose.

What about defense?People run from the bottom line to play fast break, can you not catch up?
Rose's scalp was numb from the spray. He never imagined that someone would go straight to the fast break after blocking the shot without showing off.

Shouldn't you just wag your fingers in place?

Or look up and growl?
Seeing that Duncan was indeed tired, Popovich raised his right hand high on the sidelines and made a "3" gesture.

The Spurs players saw Popovich's instructions and quickly ran to the baseline, leaving Parker alone to hold the ball in the high post.

Parker's singles strategy?

At such a critical moment, how dare the Spurs let Parker play singles?
Lu Yuanzhi didn't believe it at all. This must be a cover-up.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Rose lifted up from the baseline to set up a pick-and-roll for Parker. Lu Yuanzhi interfered with Parker, and Bibby quickly rejoined the defense.

But the Spurs' tactics didn't end there. Rose swung from the side and Duncan swooped from the bottom line.

Duncan?

Lu Yuanzhi's eyelids twitched. Was he still trying to beat Duncan?
Lu Yuanzhi ran away with Rose, but his attention was entirely on Duncan.

Sure enough, after Duncan went up to block Parker's subordinates, he suddenly moved to the inside line.

Funderburk couldn't keep up and was half a body behind Duncan.

For a young and mature player like Duncan, it is very dangerous for you to be half a body behind him, because at this time, even if Duncan just experienced a serious injury last year, no matter how tiring this game is, his athletic ability is still there, and his The physical quality is still there, if you can't help but jump up to defend, you may be deceived into a "2+1" by him.

Lu Yuanzhi once again let go of his defense on Rose and accelerated back to the inside.

Rose originally led Lu Yuanzhi to the right side of the three-point line. When he saw Lu Yuanzhi turning around and running to the inside, he quickly shouted "Tim" to remind Duncan.

But Lu Yuanzhi was too fast. Before Ross could say anything else, he had already jumped high and flew towards Duncan.

"Step aside!"

Lu Yuanzhi only had time to yell, reminding Fang De Burke not to foul behind Duncan.

If I worked so hard to defend, and you easily fouled Duncan, wouldn't I be taken advantage of?

Funderburk originally wanted to pull Duncan away, but found that the sound came from a strange position.

air?

Looking up, Lu Yuanzhi had already flown over from the side, his long arms about the same length as Duncan stretched out, covering his head and face on Duncan's newly exposed basketball.

Duncan lacked physical strength and was attacked by Lu Yuanzhi again. The ball was shot away and he fell to the ground.

"beep--"

The referee blows his whistle.

All eyes looked over.

Spurs bottom line?

No foul!

This is a great hat!
Lu Yuanzhi succeeded in making up the defense and gave Duncan a big blood cap!
