Chapter 363: Bet Everything and Win Again!
Ginobili feels as if he is in hell these two days!
The cruelty of his master and the insensitivity of his teammates made him, the elegant little prince of flopping, no longer so elegant.
It's all because of the master's rapid rise in status in the team recently.
In the past, when his master was 'bullying' him, someone would help him, but now he can only accept it silently.
Even ** seems to be obeying his master now.
Eastern Washington University's training facility.
Ginobili sat on the sidelines of the training court depressed.
The master's training time alone every day has now become his only rest time.
"It hurts!"
He looked at the prop man in the corner who was being chased by his master.
Ginobili subconsciously made a gesture of protecting the egg with both hands.
He still clearly remembers the scene when Master and Yes played against each other for the first time this season.
The clear sound of breaking eggs still appeared in his nightmares from time to time.
That is to say, after that time, the master has been doing this kind of practice.
Just in practice, never used on the field.
Even in Ginobili's opinion, the master's egg-chasing skill has now been used to perfection.
But the master still has never used it in a competition.
I'm afraid no one in the world knows that this is already the 58th prop man that the master has replaced!
He had once secretly seen those prop owners who had been abandoned by their masters.
Every time after reading it, the bloody and mosaic-like areas scared him so much that he didn't dare to walk too fast for fear of breaking his balls.
The world with eggs is really beautiful!
Legs, hands, elbows, knees, feet...
In order to be able to catch eggs anytime and anywhere in the competition, the master is extremely cruel during training!
"master,
No matter how good you are at chasing eggs, what's the use if you don't use them in the game. "
"It's not that I don't need it, I'm just waiting for an opportunity."
"what chance?"
"A once in a lifetime chance for revenge!"
revenge?
The master has never forgotten the crisp sound of breaking eggs.
"Master, will it succeed?"
"..."
"master?"
"Don't worry, the worst result is that he will be broken and I will be broken too!"
If he is broken, so am I!
Master, you only have one healthy egg left!
So broken...
Only then did he realize that Elbow Forest was such a cruel place!
In the summer, Ginobili, who was sitting on the sidelines of the training court, felt the wind blowing around him and his head felt chilly!
May 13, 2007, Seattle Key Arena, Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals between the SuperSonics and Spurs.
Under the spotlight, the competition officially begins!
"After the Seattle SuperSonics won the last game at Xiaotianwangshan, the result of this game is extremely important to the trend of this series!"
If the Sonics continue to win at home, the big score in the series will become 3-1!
If the SuperSonics lose at home, the big score in the series will become 2-2!
The big score was 3 to 1, which was a gentle sweep of 4 to 1.
The big score is 2 to 2, this is heading for the tiebreaker!
"In the first game of the SuperSonics series, we won a victory in San Antonio with Yes's superb performance. It's so important!"
"The SuperSonics, who won on the road, now completely take the initiative in this series."
"Now, the Spurs need to win a victory at the SuperSonics' home court when Yes is in poor physical condition!"
"But, tonight, Yes didn't sleep before the game!"
When the game started, the national audience in front of the TV was surprised by the passionate commentary by Barkley and Kenny Smith.
Every game in this series is exciting, and they are exciting from the beginning to the end.
This is a legendary series!
For the first time in this legendary series, they saw Barkley and Kenny Smith so involved at the beginning of the game.
There is no way, this game is too important!
This is the game that determines the final trend of this series!
After watching the first two rounds of the first game, **Vitch felt that the Spurs could sweep the SuperSonics.
After watching the first and second games, **Vic felt that the Spurs could beat the SuperSonics 4-1!
After the third game, the Spurs were trailing 1-2. When the fourth game started, his palms were sweating!
He can't understand this series at all!
He also couldn’t understand Yes!
The Spurs and SuperSonics finished Game 3.
Media outlets across the United States have been overwhelmingly reporting that Yes’s sleep disorder continues.
And there is an increasingly serious trend.
Many media are even reporting that Yes will probably not play this game and will take a break!
This is good for the Spurs!
But now, Yes is still on!
And Yes did not sleep before the game like the last game.
Not only did he not sleep before the game, but the relaxation and indifference on Yes’s face now is frightening!
The tiredness, mental irritability and tension on Yes's face completely disappeared!
Yes is playing us? !
This is impossible!
The fatigue before Yes will not be fake!
Yes, it is true that Bruce's ultimate defense consumes a lot of money!
But now, Yes’s ease and indifference are not fake!
So, what's going on? !
Is it true, as reported by the media, that Yes's narcolepsy was greatly relieved because of Rondo's unique massage techniques?
How can this be!
If Rondo's massage is so good, why is he still working in the NBA?
do not understand!
I really can’t understand it!
**Vitch considers himself one of the smartest people in the NBA, and he now completely cannot understand the development of this series.
Maybe now, he can only pin all his hopes on Bruce.
The Spurs offensive players with Duncan as the core have performed to the extreme.
There are no problems with the Spurs' offense in this series.
The Spurs also had no problem defending other Sonics players in this series.
Yes!
This is the X factor of this series between the Spurs and SuperSonics!
This X factor can only be left to Bruce!
The potential of other Spurs players has been exhausted.
The only one who still has potential to tap now is Bruce!
In each of the first three games, Bruce was stronger than the previous one.
Will Bruce be stronger in this game? !
**Vicci had a wry smile on his face.
He now actually hopes that a 36-year-old veteran will break through himself to save the team?
What an irony!
Before the series started, he actually imagined that this series could defeat Yes and the SuperSonics within six games.
Now, he realized how naive his idea was.
Within six games?
Now his idea is very simple, don't worry about the next few games.
This game must be won!
Even if Yes is really tired now, the Spurs can't sit back and enjoy the results.
The Spurs also need to stimulate his fatigue by beating Yes.
For a person who keeps winning, the excitement of his willpower overrides the fatigue of his body!
It’s not so much that Yes’ fatigue was relieved by Rondo’s special massage techniques.
**Vicci even believes that Yes is because he defeated the Spurs in the last game and relieved his fatigue!
Any player who faces Bruce's ultimate defense and hits such a shocking kill will be lifted up!
victory!
Victory in this game is more than just regaining the home field advantage!
**Vicci secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
still have a chance!
In the first three games, Yes, under Bruce's zero-error defense, made a lot of gambling-style offenses. Destiny was on Yes' side.
Yes has been favored by destiny for three games. Now it is Bruce's turn and the Spurs' turn to be favored!
Even one game will do!
In the previous three games, Milicic successfully helped the SuperSonics jump ball.
Today is no exception. For Milicic, it is when he jumps the ball in every game that he can feel the pride of being an All-Star center.
Rondo slowly advanced with the ball,
He can speed up.
But in this series, speeding up the pace of offense and defense is not a good option.
The Spurs have the advantage both offensively and defensively.
The Spurs' advantage will be greater with more rounds.
The only offensive point the Sonics are sure of in this series is Yes.
Yes faced Bowen's defense in this series, and it took an extremely long time to get rid of it.
in previous games.
Faced with such a strong defense, Yes will take the initiative to create opportunities for his teammates.
Facing Bowen this time, Rondo didn't know why Yes insisted on beating Bowen.
However, although he didn't know why Yes was like this, he also knew that he needed to cooperate!
When Rondo advanced, only Ye Si was in his eyes.
Neither the basketball in his hand nor the opposing defender is in his eyes.
Anyway, there is no one 3 meters away from him, so there is no need to worry about someone suddenly rushing out to steal the ball.
Bruce Bowen's defense is still strong in this game!
Before the game against the Spurs, no one in him or the SuperSonics would have thought that Yes would be in such big trouble.
Fortunately, Yes is Yes.
No matter how strong the defense is, he can always score the ball.
Rondo is paying attention to the duel between Yes and Bowen ahead.
SuperSonics fans at the scene, reporters from all over the United States in the media box, and commentators from all over the world in the commentary box.
They are all nervously watching the showdown between Yes and Bowen.
This has been the theme of the past three games.
This time it looks like this time will be no different.
How long will Bowen push Seattle's offense to the limit this time? !
Ye Si on the court frowned a little.
Just in the locker room, after 350 times and 2,201 games in the 2016 Finals, Yeos finally completed 'Irving's rebellion/ascends to the throne in Cleveland after being crazy for 2,201 games by the Cavaliers led by James! ’ large-scale tasks.
This was Ye Si's most painful experience in completing a system task.
But no matter what.
As long as the task is completed.
And because this mission is really torturous.
After finishing, Ye Si was actually in a very good mood.
The expression on his face is also very relaxed and calm.
Yes, after the game starts.
Ye Si discovered that this game is not that simple!
The speed is a bit slow!
Now Bowen is a little slow to follow him!
In this series, Ye's speed has been matching Bowen's speed.
With Ye's speed, he can easily get rid of Bowen's defense if he wants to.
In the first two games of the regular season against the Spurs, when he started running at full strength, Bowen could only follow him and eat dust!
If he wasn't worried about **Vitch changing his defensive strategy against him, he could make Bowen look ugly in every game.
If he wants to happily play one-on-one with Bowen in the game, he needs to improve Bowen's 'ability'.
Slowing down is his method.
Bowen's athleticism is terrible right now.
He also has less competition experience.
But Bowen's defensive skills are really strong.
In the fast game, Bowen's current defense will look very embarrassed due to the decline in athletic ability.
But in slow speed, Bowen's defense is really tight. After all, he is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA in the past ten years. If coupled with some small 'cooperation' from Yeez, Bowen now has The reputation of the best perimeter defender in league history.
Slower is not always better when it comes to slowing down.
'Tangled' with Bowen at a slightly slower pace is not Ye's ultimate goal.
Ye Si's ultimate goal is to suddenly accelerate at a relatively slow speed.
That moment of acceleration was the key for him to completely get rid of Bowen and become open.
The acceleration should not be too different from the previous speed, otherwise it will feel abrupt.
A person who can run 100 meters in 12 seconds suddenly runs out of 100 meters in 9 seconds. No matter how you look at it, it will look awkward.
Therefore, the slow speed cannot be really slow. The limit of slow speed is Bowen's fastest speed now!
Only in this way, when he went out, Bowen couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.
If the slower speed is slower than Bowen's fastest speed, Bowen can catch up.
He is the one holding the carrot in his hand, and the donkey was cooperating with him in order to eat the carrot.
Now, this donkey actually refuses to cooperate? !
Is this because the donkey is not cooperating with him?
Or is it that even if Donkey wants to cooperate with him, he can't?
Carrots are the donkey's lifelong pursuit.
Can a donkey be abandoned like this?
Whether the donkey really doesn’t want to cooperate or whether it wants to cooperate but can’t, you’ll find out after trying it!
The Spurs' players on the court were reassured by Bowen's defense.
If there is one person in this world who can defend Yes one by one, then this person can only be Bruce!
They just need to guard the other Sonics players on the court.
Bowen was slowing down.
Although not very slow.
But it was simply impossible for Yesi to match Bowen's pace and slow down.
He didn't know why Bowen was slowing down now.
If Bowen was unwilling to cooperate and deliberately slowed down, then he would slow down to threaten him.
He couldn't be threatened by Bowen!
The Spurs players who had great trust in Bowen on the court really didn't expect Bowen to be rid of him so quickly.
Not to mention the Spurs players, even Rondo was shocked.
Just after halftime, Rondo quickly threw the basketball in his hand before he could direct traffic with one hand and pose.
"Yes's first attack was very fast!"
"Surprisingly fast!"
"This is the first time Bowen has lost his defensive position in this series so far!"
75…75…75…75…75…
Locked 75 feel!
The feel of 75 is certainly not good enough compared to the feel of 80 or above.
But at night when his overall feel is average, it is a value that can be locked in!
In the second and third games against the Spurs, his touch was still below 75 most of the time.
Overall, the feel of 75 is actually a good one.
"Beautiful 45-degree three-pointer from the left, Yes won the first three-pointer of the game!"
"Deafening cheers!"
"In Key Arena, Yes's three-pointer is the best catalyst!"
“Yes’s hand is still hot in this game!”
After Ye Si hit a three-pointer, his eyes were always on Bowen.
Lost.
have no choice.
pain.
It's not like he doesn't want to match his expression.
It was more like a look that wanted to cooperate with him but couldn't.
Ye Si took a deep look at Bowen and frowned.
Is this really the case?
In the first round of the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, Ye's three-pointer completely ignited the atmosphere.
Amid the crazy cheers from SuperSonics fans, Duncan steadily hit his first mid-range shot of the game.
In this series, no matter what the status of the other Spurs players is.
Duncan's condition is always so stable.
"Bruce, don't be nervous, there's still me."
"I know."
Tim, thank you for being there for me all these years.
After scoring, Duncan retreated with Bowen and was stunned for a moment.
Bruce didn't protest against the touching of his head this time?
Giving up on yourself?
Looking at the bare braised egg in front of me.
Duncan blinked blankly, Bruce was very abnormal today.
Duncan was not the only one to notice that Bowen's current situation was a bit abnormal.
**Vicci is also frowning now.
It wasn't until the fourth game that Bruce made his first defensive error.
He knows this is normal.
But, this way...
**Vicci couldn't accept it!
Yes's movement just now was very average, just getting rid of it with speed, without any skills.
Is it possible that Bruce is used to Yes's difficult offense, but is not used to Yes's simple offense?
Ginobili on the bench now wants to tell everything.
But he thought about the master's expression when he was talking to him when he just left the locker room.
Ginobili gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly into fists.
can not say!
can not say!
Absolutely not!
This is the stage chosen by the master himself.
The final stage...
Ginobili suppressed the strong ups and downs in his chest.
The waves in my chest can be suppressed.
The memory in the mind lasts forever.
That summer, he lifted his first championship, at the AT&T Center, on his master's back.
This game is the eighth game of the season between the SuperSonics and the Spurs!
The two teams are so familiar with each other that they don't even need to deploy targeted tactics.
Now the whole world knows what's at stake in this series.
The showdown between Yes and Bowen!
Therefore, from the beginning of the game, all the cameras were on Yes and Bowen.
In the first attack of this game, Bowen made his first defensive error in this series. This can only be described as shock to fans and commentators around the world!
When does a defensive player in the league get such a thumbs up for a defensive mistake?
Among the outstanding defensive players in the NBA, who doesn’t make several defensive mistakes in a game?
In this 'great' series, Yes and Bowen raised off-ball offense and off-ball defense to an incredible level.
Any offensive failure or defensive mistake will be infinitely magnified!
Just when commentators and fans around the world were shocked by Bowen's opening mistake, they thought that Bowen finally fell before Yes due to physical problems, and felt sorry for Bowen.
The next game refreshed their understanding again!
"Incredible! With his tenacious willpower, Bowen once again kept up with Yes!"
"Yes's pursuit of victory allowed him to overcome physical fatigue!"
"Bowen's pursuit of victory also allowed him to overcome physical fatigue!"
"This is the greatest individual duel I have ever seen in the playoffs in NBA history!"
"Yes and Bowen showed us what is the limit of human beings in this series!"
"As long as you are strong enough, you can be greater than you think!"
After the accident of the first goal of this game.
The game once again entered the rhythm of the previous three games.
Bowen's ultimate defense.
Yes The ultimate offense.
The offensive and defensive rhythm between the two is so powerful that it surpasses everyone else on the field!
Even Kobe, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Ray Allen and others watching this game on the TV are stunned now.
Yes's offense is very strong, they all know it.
Bowen's defense is strong and they know it.
But if Bowen's defense is really so strong, why would he do those crazy things on the court? !
but!
This series, this game, is really exciting!
This series is an epic for these outside players!
This is an epic series for them!
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 26 to 26. Facing Bowen's defense that only made one mistake, Yes scored 14 points in a single quarter!
At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 26 to 22. In this quarter, Bowen made zero mistakes again. Yes scored 12 points in a single quarter!
In addition to the brilliance of Bowen and Yes and the stability of Duncan in this quarter, Ginobili's thrust is also impressive!
After halftime, the Spurs gained a 4-point lead!
In this series, the Spurs led by four points at halftime, which is all a luxury!
In previous games, as long as the Spurs opened the score slightly, Yes could step forward!
Yes scored a lot of points against Bowen's ultimate defense in this series.
These points obtained by Yes are shocking.
What's even more shocking than the numbers of these scores is that those scores scored by Yes are all tough scores, and they are all scores when the team is most critical!
Lots of answer-balls!
The Spurs led by 4 points at halftime, and **Vicci was very excited!
Duncan is excited too!
Everyone in the Spurs felt that a stone weighing on their hearts had finally fallen to the ground.
4 points can give them such a sense of security.
This would have been unbelievable in the past!
Spurs locker room.
Bowen looked at his excited teammates and coaches.
Holding his hands tightly, he was suppressing his impulse!
Now Yes has been fooled!
Now Yes believes in his lack of physical strength and believes that he is just a 36-year-old man after all.
Just like the whole world now believes that Yes has a physical crisis under his defense.
Only he knows that Yes’s body has never had any problems!
Acting, Yes is playing him crazily, acting as his teammates, acting as his coach, acting as the world!
Today, he wants to let Yes know that he can do this kind of acting!
Tonight's game, he slowed down a little bit.
Yes also believed that he was exhausted due to his old age and continuous high-intensity competition.
Now, he finally got the chance to fight for everything!
It's funny to say that before Yes believed in him, he didn't even have a chance to fight for everything.
He only has one chance!
Even if he puts everything he has into it, he only has one chance!
He needs to endure it now!
Even if he can only watch his teammates being tortured by Yes's constant answer-ball, he needs to hold back!
Brothers, after this game, I will take away this devil for you!
At the end of the intermission, Bowen stood up and left the Spurs locker room first without looking back.
Looking at Bowen's back, Duncan and James Vicki were a little stunned.
"Bruce's back looks really tall now!"
master……
Ginobili gritted his teeth and followed out second.
The second half of the game begins.
The SuperSonics fans at the scene are all heart-wrenching.
They now finally experience the feeling of Spurs fans watching this series at home!
On the Internet, there are many videos on YOUtube about "the expressions of neutral fans watching the Spurs and SuperSonics game" and "the expressions of neutral fans watching Yes' two buzzer-beaters."
The reason why these videos have become so popular recently is because the resonance is so strong!
Whether you are a Spurs fan, a SuperSonics fan, or a neutral fan, watching this game really requires a strong psychological quality!
"Less than three minutes into the second half, Yes helped the Sonics tie the score again!"
Looking at the scores of the two teams that returned to the same starting line again.
The expression on **Vic's face on the sidelines looked like he was constipated!
Is this the first time in this series that Yes has helped the Sonics tie the score? !
**Vicci really doesn’t understand.
Bruce's defense is so good, why can Yes always score whenever he wants?
He really can't understand it!
Yes, the state of facing the Spurs in this series is that if you want to score, you can score!
This is why the Spurs veterans are so frightened by Yes!
He doesn't know if Yes will be able to play such a superb offensive state in this series in the future!
As far as this series is concerned, if it weren't for Bruce, I'm afraid he would have a headache!
Even if he is no longer willing to use double teams, facing such a Yes, he can only bite the bullet!
"In this series, almost every game has to be played to the last second!"
At the end of the third quarter, the score on the court was 72-72!
The Spurs and SuperSonics are back on the same starting line again!
Looking at this score, Barkley's commentary voice is trembling now!
In this series, except for the second game, they are all game wins!
He is a supporter of Yes!
Both of the two kills were successful!
However, no one can guarantee that all his kills will hit!
The buzzer beater is not a shooting drill on the training ground!
The person standing in front of Yes is not a prop man, but the greatest defensive player in NBA history!
Maybe adding one would be better.
But while this series is still going on.
When the whole world talks about Bowen, there is a tacit understanding that one of them will be ignored.
Maybe in the future, one will be added when talking about Bowen.
But now, no need!
More than just a suffix that Bowen doesn't need.
Yes, no need!
At the end of the third quarter, Barkley was already prepared for the game to go down to the last second.
But when the decisive moment came again, Barkley's heart still trembled!
"95 to 93! Duncan hit the most critical two points in the game with 12 seconds left in the game!"
"This is Duncan's 40th point of the game!"
"This two points is comparable to the buzzer beater two years ago!"
"SuperSonics requesting a timeout!"
Three decisive moments in four games!
In the first three games, he was defeated twice by Yes!
At the moment the timeout ended, **Vicci found that his hands were shaking slightly!
He knows that a player cannot have a 100% winning rate in the game!
But now, Yes's decisive victory over the Spurs is a 100% shooting rate!
"Bruce!"
Bowen, who was about to play, stopped, turned his back to **Vic, and did not look back.
"This defense, I'm betting everything on me, some of my past, everything now, and everything in the future."
Everything in the past?
Everything now?
And everything in the future? !
**Vicci didn’t know why Bowen said this.
But, he knows.
Bowen has never let him down!
On the court!
Ye Si and Bowen stand together again!
Bowen can clearly feel it. Now he is the focus of the world!
Maybe the next scene will be the focus of the world in the future!
calm!
Bowen once again felt that calmness that came at the end of the previous game when all the pressure was released.
It took a whole game to get Yes into the game!
I watched a whole scene of teammates feeling lost and desperate!
He needs to gamble one last time now!
As long as in Yes's heart, this is not the last time Yes will use him, then his gamble will succeed!
Yes!
You won't let me down, right?
"SuperSonics chose to serve from the frontcourt!"
"Rondo has come out and caught the ball!"
"Yes is running! Bowen is chasing after him! Other Spurs players are ready to attack at any time!"
"Cover! Cut around! Use space!"
The SuperSonics and Spurs players were in chaos on the court!
Only Yes and Bowen are still getting rid of and chasing in an orderly manner!
The intensity of the entanglement between these two people is more than one level higher than the others!
"Yes, get rid of Bowen!"
Very surprised!
The whole world is surprised!
In the previous two kills, Yes only got rid of Bowen's pursuit at the last minute!
And this time, Yes actually got rid of it in advance? !
"wrong!"
“It’s not something Yes got rid of!”
"It was Bowen who deliberately let Yes get rid of it!"
After Barkley shouted in horror, the audience on the sidelines, the media reporters, and the audience in front of the TV all widened their eyes in horror at this time!
This is my best defense!
Everything in the past, present, and future!
Bowen flew out!
Seeing Bowen rushing towards him, Ye Si's eyes narrowed.
What a familiar scene...
"It's over!"
Kobe in front of the TV was so frightened by the pictures on the TV that his face turned pale!
As a master of the elbow forest, he has never seen such a powerful egg-chasing kick!
There is no hiding!
Bowen was flying in the air without even protection!
Bowen is trading his right leg for Yes’s egg!
So cruel!
Rondo, who had just thrown the ball long, looked at the scene happening not far away. His legs were already weak subconsciously, and there was no color on his face.
Yes!
I said!
I'll leave this series with you!
Ginobili on the court couldn't bear to watch the next scene.
What? !
Just when Bowen's right leg was about to catch up, the egg that was right in front of him disappeared...
With a step back, a touch, and a jump, Ye Si, who was still inside the three-point line, jumped up high outside the left three-point line...
Bowen's eyes in the air, which were chasing him astray, had lost focus.
Off course? !
How can this be? !
A swipe!
The ball goes in!
Light!
96 to 95!
Killer!
Boom!
The silence of hell becomes the cheers of heaven!
KeyArena explodes again!
Mixed in the sound of the explosion was the sound of a broken leg.
