Chapter 928 Shocking Comeback

Durant came out of the gym. After more than an hour of exercising, he was already sweating profusely. At this time, he was going to the bathroom to enjoy it.

However, when he walked to the TV, he couldn't help but stop.

"At this moment, the seventh game between the Spurs and the Lakers should be going on. The Lakers must have been crushed!" Durant shook his head, and was about to leave, but turned back.

"Look at the score, if the gap is big, go take a shower." Durant turned on the TV while thinking.

"Huh? 100 to 102, the Lakers are only two points behind, and the ball is still in the hands of the Lakers. This is already the fourth quarter, and the score is still so stalemate. Is it possible that the Lakers are going to win? Impossible, they It was 0 to 3 behind before, how could it be possible to come back!"

Durant was muttering to himself, but when he saw that Zhang Guan was one step away from the three-point line, he stopped, and then took off to shoot, and Leonard did not hesitate, and directly rushed over.

"Three-pointer, scored!" Durant stared straight at the TV, but at this moment he remembered the scene in the final of the World Championships in Turkey four years ago.

Just like Zhang Guan is now, he stopped at a place far from the three-point line, and then shot, and the powerful American team was dragged into overtime by Zhang Guan's offensive method, one after another An overtime!

"It's this kind of attack again! There is no solution!" Durant sighed lightly, but now Durant felt that the Spurs might be in danger.

...

"The Spurs are starting to double-team!"

Popovich obviously couldn't bear Zhang Guan's unscrupulous three-point shooting, and began to use double-team defense. When Zhang Guan moved near the three-point line, another player stepped forward and joined Leonard. Double-team Zhang Guan.

Double-teaming is always the last resort to restrict superstars, but it is also the most effective method. One-on-one can't defend you, and it's always no problem for two to defend one.

The Spurs' defensive system is mainly team defense. They rarely adopt a double-team defense strategy. Even when they encounter James in the finals, Leonard alone defends James, and other teammates assist in defense instead of double-teaming. . But facing Zhang Guan's scoring method, Popovich still decisively chose to double-team.

Superstars are inherently difficult to defend. Even the Spurs' defensive system is at most limited to superstars, and they dare not say that they can completely defend the opponent. impossible.

If the opponent scores 2 points, the Spurs will also score 2 points. The two sides have an equal drum, which is acceptable for the Spurs. A team that plays cooperatively will not be afraid to compare the shooting percentage with the opponent. But if the opponent scores 3 points and the Spurs score 2 points, the Spurs will suffer.

Now Zhang Guan has been shooting outside the three-point line, but the hit rate is still very high. Popovich decided to use double-teams to limit Zhang Guan's three-point shooting rate.

However, Zhang Guan didn't just sit still. He made the next ball, just after he dribbled the ball across half court, he raised his head and shot.

"What? Is it an alley-oop?" Leonard, who was in charge of defense, looked back, but saw the basketball directly into the basket.

Suddenly there was a cry of astonishment, and even Popovich's eyes widened, looking at a loss.

"Shooting, throwing a three-pointer just after halftime, don't play like this! The most important thing is that the ball is scored!" Leonard looked bitter, this kind of throwing a three-pointer just after halftime The situation, Leonard is really unheard of.

"If he can score goals like this, then there is no need for double-teaming!" Now Leonard finally feels that Zhang Guan seems to be an incomprehensible existence on the court.

Also depressing is Duncan, who just ran from the Lakers' basket back to his own basket, and Zhang Guan scored a goal before he even got a firm position. And Duncan had to drag his old body back to the frontcourt, which was tantamount to making a back and forth for no reason. If it was Duncan when he was young, it didn't matter if he ran a few more times, but now Duncan really feels tired after running a few more times.

...

"Teaming? If double-teaming was useful, we wouldn't have lost in the World Championships four years ago!" Westbrook lay on the massage chair, looking at the TV and muttering to himself.

At the World Championships in Turkey four years ago, the U.S. team used the same method. At that time, Westbrook and Rose double-teamed Zhang Guan, but it didn't work. Zhang Guan was still scoring crazy. In the end, in one overtime after another, the last drop of blood of the US team was exhausted.

"It's been four years!" Westbrook looked at the ceiling with some melancholy. At this moment, he seemed to have a premonition that he might fight Zhang Guan again soon.

"Fight again? Unless the Lakers can enter the Western Conference finals, how is this possible? They are 0 to 3 behind. There has never been a team that may come back from 0 to 3!"

...

Zhang Guan's magical three-pointer made the score 112 to 109. The Lakers led by three points, while the Spurs began to be passive.

At this time, the Spurs did not appear to be in a hurry. Instead, they played more and more steadily. Players picked and rolled, Parker broke through, big players responded, offensive opportunities appeared, and scoring was completed. The tactical coordination was very smooth. This is also the offensive method that the Spurs are best at.

This is what the Spurs team is like, full of resilience. No matter how critical the moment is, no matter how tense the game is, the Spurs can always be as stable as Mount Tai. It is impossible for such a team to be "one wave" take away.

In the last three and a half minutes of the game, the score was 119 to 119, which turned out to be a tie. And Zhang Guan has hit 19 three-pointers in this game.

"Zhang Guan has already scored 69 points. He has tied Jordan's score of 69 points in a single game. In analysis, he will challenge Chamberlain's record of 70 points in a single game set in 1963!"

Before the commentator finished speaking, Gasol successfully blocked the ball in defense, Zhang Guan rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, and made another three-point jumper with an emergency stop.

"The three-pointer... scored! Zhang Guan's 20th three-pointer in this game is also his 72nd personal point! Zhang Guan has surpassed Chamberlain's 70 points in a single game, and also surpassed David Robinson's 71 points in a single game! He tied Chamberlain's record of 72 points in a single game on November 3, 1962! The seventh in history, this score can now be tied with Chamberlain for seventh in history!"

"Zhang Guan, the three-pointer, here it is again! It bounced out of the frame! Whiteside pulled out the rebound, and the ball was in Zhang Guan's hands again. Three-pointer! Go in! Oh, unfortunately, stepped on the line, it was a two-pointer However, Zhang Guan still scored the 74th point. This time, he surpassed Chamberlain's 73 points in a single game on January 13, 1962 and November 16, 1962, and David Thompson's single game. 73 points, now Zhang Guan's single-game score has ranked fourth in history!"

"Free throw, scored. Zhang Guan made two free throws and scored 79 points. He surpassed Chamberlain's record of 78 points in a single game on December 8, 1961. Now Zhang Guan's single-game score has come to the third in history. , There are two people in front of him, Kobe Bryant's 81 points in a single game, and Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game!"

Zhang Guan scored points crazily, but the Spurs were still not defeated. The score is now 133 to 131, and the Lakers are only leading by 2 points.

For the Spurs, seven players scored in double figures, and four of them scored 20 plus 10. Among them, Duncan and Leonard scored plus rebounds, while Parker and Ginobili scored plus assists. Duncan is only one step away from a triple-double.

Then the two sides each wasted an offensive opportunity. When the ball returned to the Spurs again, there were still 28 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Spurs still didn't panic at all, but continued to play tactically step by step, or in other words, they played very patiently.

At this time, the Spurs really reflected the background of a strong team. They were behind, but they were not in a hurry for success, but became more and more stable.

The ball is in Ginobili's hands. At critical moments, Ginobili seems to be more competent than Parker to play the role of organizer.

Pass, support, pass the ball again, continue to support, the Spurs' unhurried performance is like a leading team, trying to run out of 24 seconds of attack time.

Finally, when the 24-second attack time was about to run out, the Spurs finally ushered in a chance. Duncan made a sudden air cut, almost reaching the basket, the ball also reached the basket, and the moment Duncan grabbed the ball , Everyone thought Duncan would attack directly.

Duncan attracted three defensive players. At this moment, Duncan's wrist flicked suddenly, and the ball was passed to Leonard who was about to come down on the other side. Leonard made a layup and scored the ball.

The Spurs did not choose a three-pointer, but chose a relatively safe two-pointer. They were playing at home and were not afraid of overtime, and the score became 133 to 133. The two sides tied again, and the game remained Play the last 5 seconds a little more.

The Lakers didn't call a timeout. Meeks sent the ball to Zhang Guan with the fastest speed. They were going to fight for time and beat the Spurs.

"Zhang Guan! He's rushing over, be careful!"

"Don't let him shoot!"

Leonard rushed towards Zhang Guan like a hungry tiger. Before Danny Green rushed to Zhang Guan, he took the lead in jumping, with his hands open to prevent Zhang Guan from shooting.

But Zhang Guan just paused, and the next moment he bowed suddenly, and jumped between Leonard and Danny Green.

Leonard retreated in a hurry, but he couldn't catch up with Zhang Guan's footsteps. However, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the basketball.

That's Ginobili's hand! The title of "Argentine Demon Sword" probably refers to his hands!

Ginobili can score, rebound, assist, and steal. He can be regarded as an all-around player, but Ginobili cannot be regarded as very high in all these statistics. For example, in terms of scoring, Ginobili averaged only 12.3 points per game this season, but no one will ignore his scoring ability; another example is in assists, Ginobili averaged only a little more than 4 assists per game, but The league knows Ginobili is one of the best playmakers around.

Ginobili is such a player, he always appears when the Spurs need him, the Spurs need him to score, he will score; the Spurs need him to protect the rebound, he can grab the rebound; the Spurs need him Passing the ball, he can pass the ball just right.

But now, the Spurs most need to stop Zhang Guan, so Ginobili has to contribute a key steal.

"Whoosh!" Ginobili's hands were really fast, and he slapped the ball in an instant, and then hooked it again, taking the ball into his hands.

"It's broken! It's Ginobili!"

"As expected of Mr. Key who ranked first in the playoffs, at such an important moment, he broke Zhang Guan's ball!"

People were amazed in their hearts, but the ball in Ginobili's hand suddenly flew up.

"It's Zhang Guan! Anti-steal!"

At the moment Zhang Guan was intercepted by Ginobili, he planned to snatch the ball from Ginobili's hands, so when Ginobili stretched out his hand to hook the ball, Zhang Guan's hand slammed from top to bottom. With a poke, the basketball naturally flew up again.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guan moved the ball forward with his hands, and then rushed forward to grab the ball.

All these changes came too fast, from Ginobili's steal to Zhang Guan's counter-robber, it took only one second.

However, at this time, every second is extremely precious. This attack originally only gave Zhang Guan 5 seconds, and Zhang Guan had to dribble from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Being delayed by Ginobili, the time will soon run out!

"There's no time left!" Zhang Guan stood up and shot a jump shot without hesitation.

Duncan has already rushed forward.

Duncan knew that after Ginobili's sabotage, Zhang Guan had lost the rhythm of breakthrough, and he had only one option to shoot, so he rushed over and stretched out his hand to block the shot.

Zhang Guan jumped up, and Duncan also jumped up.

Duncan's big hands were raised high, his five fingers spread out, and his face showed a fierce look, just waiting for the moment Zhang Guan shot, and slapped him fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Guanqiu made a move, and Duncan's big slap was also suppressed.

"call!"

There was a gust of wind from Duncan's big hand, but it missed, and the basketball flew over Duncan's head.

"Fallback jumper!" Duncan immediately realized this. Zhang Guan used a fadeaway jumper. Although this kind of jumper is difficult, it is almost impossible to block it.

"Rebound!" Duncan yelled, and he turned his head abruptly, only to find that the basket was surrounded by Spurs players.

"Huh!" Duncan let out a long breath, this rebound will not be lost.

"Puchi!" It was the sound of friction between the basketball and the net bag.

The ball went in!

The timer runs out to the last second!

The lights around the basket came on too...

135 to 133!

There was silence at the scene, and in the auditorium, countless fans covered their faces, unable to believe all this

"Lore, is it a lore? Zhang Guan beat the Spurs! 81 points, Zhang Guan tied Kobe's record of 81 points in a single game! From 0 to 3 to 3 to 3, to today's 4 to 4 3. A shocking comeback, they really did it!"
