Chapter 273
Everyone in the entire Spurs home stadium could only hope that Roy's block just now was a foul,
then Carter's goal could be declared invalid.
Under the huge public opinion and the noisy voices,
the referee could only go to the technical desk to check the video of Roy's defensive round.
This ball was related to the direction of the finals and was extremely critical. The referee himself was a little hesitant.
The game fell into a stagnant state.
All the fans at the Spurs home stadium had stood up, and they stretched their necks to look at the three referees at the technical desk, trying to see from their expressions The result of the penalty was predicted in advance.
The result of the referee's penalty came out quickly. The three referees unanimously maintained the original penalty. Roy's block was valid.
"Shh~shh~shh~"
The boos on the court continued until the big screen on the court replayed the scene of Roy and Duncan's confrontation under the basket.
Roy jumped and blocked the shot from three angles in slow motion. His palm pressed firmly on the basketball without touching Duncan at all. It was filmed clearly.
Roy's movements were clean and neat, without any dragging, and it was clearly seen. This was definitely a great shot that shocked everyone!
At this moment, the Spurs players no longer had any objection.
The boos from the fans were like a stuck, and everyone looked incredulous. The boos were stuck in their throats and could no longer make any sound.
After all, fans in this era still have to have some dignity. There are some fans who cling to their opponents, but they are a minority after all.
Most fans, although they support the home team, can only accept this kind of goal with the ironclad evidence of slow motion played over and over again on the big screen.
The episode delayed the game for more than a minute. Roy took the opportunity to drink a few more sips of beverage and take a few breaths off the court.
The game resumed with only 28 seconds left.
The Spurs' lead was reduced to a mere one point.
The Spurs' main force seemed even more nervous about the Nets, who were chasing points.
Because of the team's mistakes in the last round, the result of the game has become more unpredictable.
Ginobili received the baseline ball from Parker.
Then the referee blew the whistle.
While both sides were still in a tense stage, it turned out that it was the Spurs coach Popovich who called a timeout at this moment.
The main forces of both sides walked to their respective rest areas.
The Spurs coach Popovich looked gloomy at this time. He was really not satisfied with the team's performance in the past minute.
The Nets beat them consecutively. Two, and one was blocked, the five-point lead turned into a bubble,
"Listen, next round, we must score, this is our home court in San Antonio, we must win the championship here, don't be lucky, think that the next game in their home court, we also have a chance, I tell you, we have no chance, except now we will have no chance!"
"You can't win the game at home, you still want to win the away game and win the championship, do you think it is possible!"
I looked at the players who bowed their heads, thought for a long time, and cast my eyes on Ginobili,
"Manu, the ball is given to you in the last round, we need your offense, we need you to keep the victory here!"
The Argentine's clear eyes looked at the head coach with a serious face,
This is trust, but also a burden, and it is more likely to be a scapegoat!
However, the Pampas Eagle was not afraid of failure at all. The unyielding instinct deep in his heart ignited at this moment.
He glanced at his teammates, Duncan, Parker, and all the role players.
He turned his head and looked directly at the head coach, nodding heavily!
In the Nets rest area, Coach Frank had another inspiration.
"Focus on the next round. We must first defend their serve. Don't be soft when we have the chance to steal!"
"Roy, I think they will give the ball to Duncan in the next round. You must guard him for me. Also, pay attention to the two small guys of the Spurs and don't let them find opportunities!"
Luo Yi listened to the words of head coach Frank and shook his head firmly:
"Coach, I don't agree with your point of view. In my opinion, they will definitely give the ball to Ginobili in the next round. He still needs someone who is really worth our vigilance. He is a dangerous guy!"
Coach Frank looked at Roy and wanted to refute, but thinking that Roy had predicted correctly throughout the game, he probably believed him for once.
So he adjusted the focus of the tactics and put all the defensive forces on the Spurs' perimeter.
"Richard, you must keep an eye on him and the little Argentine.Son, Raja can give up Parker to help defend when necessary, and Vince, you must be alert in the entire area from the three-point line to the reasonable collision zone, and pay attention to help defense at any time. Chuck, keep an eye on that old guy Horry, I don't want to see his three-pointer at this time! "
...
The one-minute timeout went by quickly, and the referee's whistle brought both sides back to the court.
The Spurs served the ball in the midfield, and Bowen stood on the sideline holding a basketball and looking into the playground. In front of him stood Vince Carter, waving his arms vigorously, trying to interfere with his sight.
The Nets players used all their tricks, and the pressure on the players reached the maximum, especially for Ginobili.
Every step he took, Jefferson cooperated with other players, making his running extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the Spurs had anticipated this. Popovich had already made arrangements. Ginobili came out from the baseline and passed two off-ball screens, but still received the ball near the midfield.
After trying their best, they failed to prevent the opponent from getting the ball, so the Nets decisively changed their strategy and switched to normal man-to-man defense.
Jefferson leaned down, lowered his center of gravity, and stared at Ginobili intently, trying to judge his next move from his expression.
The Spurs simply opened up one to four to make room for Ginobili to play singles.
The time on the court was passing by every second. Everyone knew that Ginobili would run out the time and launch an attack at the last moment.
As time ran out, the Nets players gradually became anxious. After all, they were the lagging side. If Ginobili ran out the time, the Nets would have less than three seconds to attack!
But they couldn't commit a foul. If the score behind widened again, the situation would be even more unfavorable for the Nets.
Seeing that the Spurs had less than 12 seconds to attack, Duncan at the bottom line started to move.
He moved upwards After reaching the three-point line, he and Ginobili made a simple screen on the outside.
Ginobili and Duncan cut into the restricted area of the Nets at the same time, and the two were parallel from the waist.
In the middle of the two was Roy, who raised his arms high to prevent Ginobili from passing the ball.
After passing the free throw line, Ginobili sped up his movement, raised the basketball in his hand, and made a passing motion in the direction of Duncan.
Roy subconsciously took a step back. In this tense moment, every pass could be fatal.
