Chapter 187: Popovich: I hate 3-pointers!

After a timeout, the Spurs replaced Robinson with Marrick Rose.
This substitution, like the first half, was also the toughest time for the Spurs.
Originally Robinson + Rose, one outside and one inside, Duncan + Ferry, one inside and one outside, two time periods, the presence of two partners is the best.
But now that Ferry can't make it, he can only switch to Rose and Duncan.
Rose has no mid-to-long range shooting ability, which means Duncan can only attack more from near the free throw line.
This will undoubtedly reduce his deterrence inside.
The fact is true, Duncan's mid-range is still very stable, but his damage to the inside has become weaker.
Looking back at the Mavericks, Sun Hao's strength on the outside also forced the Spurs to pull out the defense again, which gave Huo Ershu more room to play inside.
One decrease and one increase, although Sun Hao's performance is not as strong as the previous period, the Mavericks still played well with the Spurs.
At the end of the three quarters, the Mavericks led the Spurs 75 to 72!
Equal to this quarter, the Mavericks beat the Spurs by 5 points!
This is incredible without Nowitzki playing.
In the fourth quarter, Kukoc continued to perform well on the bench. He scored 4 more points and scored 13 points. This became the biggest surprise for the Mavericks bench tonight.
However, the Mavericks failed to open the score during this period.
Because of the Spurs, Popovich had Duncan in the first quarter!
The situation in front of him made Popovich careless.
This adjustment also sends a message that he will end the game in the sixth game!
This quarter played more than 5 minutes, the score on the field was 85 to 82, the Spurs led by Duncan and surpassed the score.
Old Nelson called a timeout. After the timeout came back, the main players of both sides returned to the court for the final moment of victory.
Popovich stood on the sidelines with his hands around his chest.
The 3-point lead is not too much, but the Spurs have survived the most difficult period.
Now that Robinson is back, the Spurs have a chance to take the game steadily.
As long as... Sun Hao's performance is no longer as crazy as the third quarter.
In fact, that kind of performance is difficult to replicate.
In the Mavericks' offense, Sun Hao missed a three-pointer from the outside.
After the third quarter, the Spurs significantly strengthened his perimeter defense, and even Duncan stood at the free throw line and was ready to help defend.
However, Huo Ershu grabbed an offensive rebound!
As in the second half of the third quarter, the Spurs' defensive focus shifted outward, giving Ershu Huo more performance opportunities!
Ershu Huo took advantage of the opportunity to break through to the layup and continued to score for the Mavericks!
85 to 84!
The point difference is back to 1 point!
The difference between the two sides has not been widened tonight!
Don't talk about the fans at this time, even the fans in front of the TV held their breath.
This is definitely the fiercest match since the series.
Duncan turned around and missed the shot, immediately grabbed a second offensive rebound, and then shot Bradley's foul.
The stone Buddha is still unstoppable, but when the camera closes up, he can see the obvious ups and downs of his chest.
Ferry can't play, Robinson is old, Duncan played the most time in this series, even if he is Stone Buddha, he is starting to get a little tired.
Duncan, after all, is not a real stone!
However, after adjusting his breathing, he still made two free throws, helping the Spurs to open the score to 3 points again.
Sun Hao made a figure-eight run in the frontcourt and took the cover of Ershu Huo to take a three-pointer.
Duncan tried his best to rush out to help prevent interference, but Sun Hao's rate of fire was still fast, and he shot it before his interference.
One of the most obvious advantages of the three-pointer over the inside game is that even if the consumption of running positions is included, he consumes less physical energy.
This didn't show much in the front, but the advantage came out at the last moment.
"Uh!"
With a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three-pointer is still in!
This was already his seventh three-pointer in the second half!
Ultimate Profound Meaning·Basket Ocean Art!
"damn it!"
Popovich, who was quiet throughout the second half, couldn't help but explode in the end.
He really, really hates three-pointers!
87 flat!
With the last 5 minutes left before the end of the game, both sides stood on the same starting line again!
This is destined to be the kind of game that will reach the countdown stage.
The time is getting less bit by bit, but the point difference on the field is always between 1 and 3 points. Players on both sides are red eyes in every round.
Two minutes before the end, Sun Hao fell while running, and his expression was painful after the fall.
This time it was not a small action made by people, but Harris was experienced and asked the team doctor to help immediately after the old Nelson called a timeout.
This is too fierce, and the feet cramp.
Although the physical consumption of the confrontation is not as great as the inside play, every attack by Sun Hao is accompanied by countless moves, and his feet can't hold it.
Sun Hao was helped to the bench to deal with it, and the players on both sides were panting heavily.
This game is like a marathon.
The end is not far away, but they are still keeping pace.
"We have to applaud this team. Perhaps the performance tonight is hard to replicate, but they are awe-inspiring."
In this round of the series, the Spurs staged a basketball game, but there are always people who can't run.
It's just that the Mavericks won with their own performance.
Sun Hao came back from the cramp and the game continued!
The Mavericks sent the sideline ball, and Sun Hao continued to run, making another figure-eight run. He came out to catch the ball and faced Daniels' three-pointer.
"Uh!"
The ball, go in!
His eighth three-pointer in the second half!
"..."
Popovich was dumbfounded.
Is this a person?
It's really not a human being, because Sun Hao's 8 three-pointers have already created a new NBA record for the number of three-pointers made in the halftime of the playoffs!
Duncan's frontcourt attack was double-teamed, and Stone Buddha stepped forward every step of the way, and some of his shots barely broke out!
His physical energy is almost exhausted...
"Boom!"
The next second, Duncan suddenly violent, long arm directly dunk the ball into the basket!
"call!"
Duncan took a long breath after dunking.
His stamina is indeed not much, but his willpower is still there!
Sun Hao turned around and missed a three-pointer.
His hands are still hot tonight, but even so, it is still impossible to enter all of them.
Looking back, Duncan doubled the ball to Porter on the outside.
Porter made a three-pointer.
"when!"
The shot hit the back edge of the basket, but after a bounce it went in!
94 to 92!
The Spurs got a two-point lead.
The game, only the last 15 seconds are left!
Old Nelson called a timeout.
Potter yelled at Sun Hao.
"You can't win! I said, you can't win!"
When Sun Hao abolished Ferry in the last game, Porter was very angry.
With this three-pointer, he finally found his chance.
Sun Hao had already walked to the bench before suddenly turning around and walking towards Potter.
Potter was also a master who was not afraid of things, and took the initiative to stand up and prepare to confront Sun Hao.
"That position, I will end the game in that position."
Sun Hao didn't do anything, it would be foolish to impulsively be exchanged by the Spurs at this time.
But he said something arrogant to the limit.
Not only did he want to kill, he also assigned a lore position!
At this time, the referee thought the two were going to conflict, and came to separate the two.
Potter cut with disdain.
You really think you are Larry Bird!
Back on the bench, old Nelson is ready to deploy tactics.
"Tang, I'll shoot a lore, forty-five degrees."
Sun Hao almost used a commanding tone.
The teammates were shocked. No one had ever dared to talk to old Nelson like this before. Sun Hao had already killed the red eye.
But what made others even more unexpected was that Old Nelson nodded!
Why didn't you nod your head? Sun Hao used three-pointers one by one to fight back the game on the brink of collapse in the second half!
He has this right.
When the timeout came back, the Mavericks had a substitution adjustment, and Kukoc played for Bradley.
Popovich was taken aback by this substitution.
The Mavericks even gave up the center.
This is to open up space for breakthrough tactics?
It's not impossible. There is a two-point difference on the field, and it is the safest way to get two points for overtime.
The color of disdain on Potter's face was even thicker, and Sun Hao turned out to be just talking.
The sideline ball was delivered to Sun Hao, and everyone else pulled it away.
Sun Hao is holding the ball against time.
Daniels didn't dare to try steals easily. After the entire series was played, he knew that Sun Hao's first step was very fast, and he would easily be passed by if he rushed out.
Time goes by every second and becomes less.
Popovich hadn't reacted yet, but when the time entered the last 6 seconds before the Mavericks had played tactics, he knew what Sun Hao was going to do.
This is a three-pointer!
His judgment has gone wrong!
Who would have thought that the Mavericks would finally play such an adventurous tactic!
He immediately yelled and motioned for Potter to double-team.
Potter turned and rushed towards Sun Hao.
Sun Hao glanced at Nash, and Potter was forced to go back again.
Nash's three-pointer is also very accurate!
Popovich got anxious when he saw it and shouted for Potter to double-team.
Potter ran by for the second time at this time, it was too late.
Sun Hao's false move to break through to the left and then pull back to the right hip to retreat.
The position he retreated to was exactly the position Sun Hao pointed at Potter.
"impossible!"
Potter yelled again, but it was too late to catch up.
Sun Hao faced Daniels' three-pointer.
"beep!"
Soon after the ball was shot, the red light on the sidelines had followed.
Win.or.go.home!
One goal will determine the outcome.
On the sidelines, including the hearts of everyone in front of the TV, they mentioned their chests.
The Mavericks were really bold, and finally chose such a tactic!
But it is also very exciting!
Anyway, it's just a loss at best!
Sun Hao made a 3-pointer shot backwards slightly.
His posture is very beautiful.
What's more beautiful is that the ball surpassed Daniels' defense and drawn a beautiful parabola in the air.
A few years later, when Nowitzki recalled the last goal.
"I know he will definitely make it!"
Even though it has been a long time, the two have experienced a lot, but the trust in Nowitzki's eyes has not changed.
"Uh!"
A crisp sound came through the loudspeaker.
The Spurs fans at the scene held their heads in disbelief.
Potter was even stupid.
94 to 95!
Sun Hao, kill the Spurs!
In the position he and Potter said.
After closing his eyes and breaking the record in the All-Star three-pointer contest, Sun Hao's pretense career has added a strong stroke!
And this was his 9th three-pointer in the second half!
One-third of the rain!
The players on the Mavericks field rushed to the field for the first time, and the players on the bench rushed to the field excitedly, including a parkour-style action by Cuban who also jumped on the field.
The Mavericks really won!
In the absence of Nowitzki, they really won G6!
Sun Hao was also running, but instead of rushing to his teammates, he rushed to the technical stage.
Behind him are teammates chasing him.
The staff at the technical station were all frightened, not knowing what Sun Hao was going to do.
But they will know in the next second.
Sun Hao jumped directly onto the technical stage and shouted directly at the auditorium.
"Dirk! This.is.for.you!"
The fans near the technical station heard it all.
At this moment, they may finally understand why the Mavericks are playing so hard and so crazy tonight.
Because of this moment, Sun Hao called him out.
For Dirk!
Nowitzki also played with his teammates after the game. Although he did not dare to go too fast because of his bad foot injury, he also walked near the technical stage now.
After hearing Sun Hao shout those words in front of his face, his smile was full of happiness.
He is really fortunate to have teammates like Sun Hao.
The photographers on the sidelines were also crazy to capture this scene.
Nine three-pointers in the half, the lack of the main will win the Spurs, calling out for Dirk.
This is destined to be a classic.
After the game, the two teams gave a final handshake.
"This is your night, but I will win the next one."
Duncan said this when shaking hands with Sun Hao.
If you change someone else, it would be rubbish, but Duncan's mouth is completely different.
He agreed with Sun Hao's performance tonight, but also expressed his determination.
"I look forward to it."
Sun Hao replied with a smile.
They are already worth it to bring the game back to Dallas.
As for the tiebreaker, that is two days later.
He doesn't want to think about those now.
In the press conference after the game, the Spurs home team was in front, and the audience was full of reporters.
Popovich has a bad face.
Tonight's Spurs absolutely did not stay, although Ferry did not play, but the Mavericks also gave a Nowitzki!
This is the typical game that Popovich sees that cannot be lost.
"I hate three-pointers!"
Soon after the conference started, Popovich couldn't help it.
"Basketball shouldn't be like this."
"You made a three-pointer and the opponent didn't, and then you won. Should basketball be like this?"
Popovich used affirmative and rhetorical questions in succession ~EbookFREE.me~ to see that he was really suspicious of Sun Hao's three-pointer tonight.
But after venting his emotions, when Popovich was asked about the Mavericks' performance tonight, his attitude was once again unexpected.
"They are worthy of this victory."
The game is over, there is no poisonous milk to say.
There is only one possibility for Popovich to say this, and the Mavericks' performance tonight convinced him.
This is the charm of basketball games.
Even opponents who are at the same level will have a certain moment of identification with each other.
It's not that basketball hasn't played, but there are always people who can't escape.
