Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 182 The Final Battle 6
This time, Johnson was extra careful not to rush into the inside blindly and get caught in a double-team.

Although Horace is not on the court, the presence of Wang Hao is still very effective in protecting the basket.

A meal of passing the ball finally allowed the Spurs to find an opportunity.

This time it was Antonio. Taking advantage of Wang Hao's help in defense, he was finally able to break through.

It's just that Wang Hao's reaction was also quick and he fouled directly.

Antonio caused Wang Hao's third foul, and no one in the Spurs could create a foul crisis for the Sonics.

Although he paid for a foul, the number of fouls did not count, and there was no chance of free throws at all.

Not only that, but it also destroyed a goal that the Spurs were likely to score, which is definitely a profit.

I don't know if it was affected. The second tactical cooperation, the Spurs obviously failed to make it.

Tribert missed a hasty shot!

The supersonic protected the rebound, and Wang Hao asked for the ball immediately, which stimulated the Spurs.

Antonio didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly pushed forward, not giving Wang Hao a chance to make a sudden move.

Who would have imagined, at this moment, Wang Hao suddenly passed the ball, and then quickly got rid of it.

With his speed, it is definitely unrealistic to completely get rid of the opponent without the cover of his teammates.

Moreover, even if he can get rid of the first shot, there will definitely be a supplementary defense to catch up immediately, and he will not be given a chance to shoot.

Wang Hao had no such intention at all, and saw that he quickly entered the inside position after giving the ball to Shamond.

That's right, he wants status alone.

The tactic just now was actually Gary Payton he applied. This time, he replaced Wen Baker.

Shamond couldn't pass the ball to Wang Hao immediately, so he chose to transfer the ball quickly.

Brent Barry is very conscious of a role player, and he quickly gave the ball to Wang Hao without stopping.

Not to mention Wang Hao's current status, but Wang Hao's current state is also very trustworthy.

At this time, the Spurs players were a little confused.

Are they going to double-team?
Wang Hao is in very good condition, and he also has an advantage when facing Antonio in the paint.

Double team?The problem is that there is no such option in their tactics!
If he really chose to double-team, what if Wang Hao just bluffed and passed the ball instead?
The situation on the field is ever-changing, so there is no time for you to think about it slowly, time waits for no one.

There is nothing to say, Wang Hao started digging in after receiving the ball.

Although in the low post, he has no skills to speak of, but he is not really useless.

What's more, the advantages of height and weight are here, and Wang Hao has an absolute advantage in confrontation.

"Damn it, double-team him!"

At this time, Popovich was already standing on the sidelines roaring, and his angry appearance was really scary.

Unfortunately, it's still too late.

Three times, five divisions, two, Wang Hao pushed Antonio under the basket, and directly chose to force it.

What he worries about is being double-teamed.

Antonio was obviously in a hurry. Seeing that Wang Hao was about to make a layup, he chose to make a layup.

"Di!"

Without any accident, the referee's whistle came as scheduled. Don't forget, this is the home court of the Supersonics.

On the sidelines, Popovich had a dead face, and on the court, Antonio was telling the referee something.

However, the penalty cannot be changed.

Standing on the free throw line, Wang Hao took a deep breath, meticulously triggered his muscle memory, and shot the free throw steadily.

"Shh!"

78:73
The difference of 5 points is an obvious difference in such a slow-paced game.

Within 5 points, such a difference can be ignored.

For a point difference of more than 5 points, it will take at least three rounds before the point difference can be evened out.

This is also a small advantage.

Only more than 10 points can be regarded as a relatively stable advantage, at least an advantage that allows mistakes.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle sounded again, but it was Popovich who asked for a timeout, and he didn't dare to delay any longer.

Popovich didn't scold the players angrily, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have much time and he couldn't bear to delay.

Popovich saw the situation change, as did Paul Westphal.

Although Wang Hao didn't know what preparations Popovich made during the timeout, he saw Paul Westphal's preparations.

It is estimated that it is almost the same!
"Gary, you go on the court, remember, we have to make good use of Wang's current fiery state to widen the point difference in one fell swoop.

Also, the defense can't fall, we don't have a foul crisis, show me enough toughness.

Each of us has six fouls, and those fouls won't carry over to the next game, so don't hold back. "

……

That's right, Paul Westphal felt that the decisive battle should be brought forward.

It is estimated that Wang Hao did not expect that because of his sudden outburst, the decisive battle between the two sides was brought forward.

Of course, this is exactly what he expected.

He didn't want to gamble on that little bit of luck and the favor of the goddess when it really came to the last moment.

With 8 minutes and 23 seconds left before the end of the game, the two sides have switched back to the main force, and the decisive battle is about to begin.

Gary Payton and Duncan don't actually have much time to rest, but no one cares much about it.

In this day and age, averaging 40 minutes per game is commonplace, not a big deal.

If we go back more than 10 years, even going into battle with injuries is widely respected, and people are really regarded as iron.

Except for the young general John Avery Johnson, the two sides basically sent their starters to fight.

No way, Avery Johnson is also a 35-year-old veteran, older than David Robinson.

In place of Avery Johnson is Terry Burt, who is not a traditional point guard.

Well, Avery Johnson isn't considered a traditional point guard either, and the Spurs' point guards aren't traditional.

It is enough to have a good scoring ability and a certain ability to organize and control the ball.

As for what to do with the offensive organization, relying on the system and relying on Duncan, none of this is a problem.

Wang Hao continued to make free throws, and then made a steady hit.

In less than 2 minutes, he scored 8 points, which was when he was at his hottest.

"Wang, pay attention, I will pass the ball to you."

Before playing, Gary Payton said this to Wang Hao, and even he admitted Wang Hao's fiery state.

What's even more commendable is that he didn't give birth to fear and jealousy, but was willing to cooperate with Wang Hao.

In comparison, Gary is indeed a relatively team player.

For him, he knows that one person can't dominate the court, so he is willing to cooperate.

As long as he can win the game, he is willing to be a tool man, let alone a green leaf.

In the previous few years, he treated Sean Kemp like this, but unfortunately, their team failed to go further.

It's a pity that the Spurs don't intend to admit defeat.

Duncan put up the screen at the first time, but unexpectedly it was a false screen, and he quickly pulled away to catch the ball.

At 45 degrees to the right, in the mid-range position, Duncan didn't give him a chance to help defend at all, so he shot very simply.

With a beautiful wipe on the backboard, the basketball fell steadily into the basket.
