Chapter 268
As soon as the basketball hit the basket, Roy had already jumped again at close range.
He squeezed in between Duncan and Horry and tried his best to grab the rebound.
As he fell, the two inside players of the Spurs tightly wrapped Roy, not allowing him to jump and shoot again.
The Nets players' hearts were immediately tightened. With the two inside players surrounding the basket, everyone could only watch helplessly.
Roy protected the basketball in his arms and tried not to expose it to the opponent's eyes. He struggled to get up. He had already thought of his breakthrough point under the basket. It was definitely not Duncan, but veteran Horry.
He used his broad shoulders to push Horry away and gave him a little space to jump.
Then he exerted force with his legs and jumped up. Brother Dun stretched out his arms above his head. With his experience, he was ready to block the shot.
Maybe Horry is not a very Good defender, but the tacit understanding and experience of the two of them with Duncan is definitely enough.
When Roy jumped, Duncan also jumped. In mid-air, the two strongest inside players of the year faced each other under the Spurs' basket.
One offense and one defense represent the highest level of the league's inside players this season. Duncan's defensive block was well prepared and had blocked all the shooting points in front of the basket.
Originally, I thought the block was a sure thing, but after Roy jumped, everything changed.
In the extremely narrow gap, Roy's explosive power was fully demonstrated at this moment.
While jumping high, Roy found that there was no shooting space in the air. He grabbed the ball with both hands and dodged.
Following the impact of jumping forward, moving in flight, his super long arms stretched forward again, his hands went around the other side of the basket, and he turned around and dunked the ball into the basket!
Silence! The whole audience was silent! Deathly silence fell on the Spurs' home court, which was just full of boos. All that was left was Roy's roar under the basket.
Carter reacted immediately and rushed to Roy and hugged him on his back.
McGuinness rushed to Roy like a little bear and gave him a bear hug.
All the substitutes in the Nets rest area had stood up. Head coach Frank excitedly threw away the towel in his hand and raised his arms.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds at this moment: "Beast, this is definitely a beast, shocking physical fitness and bounce, why does the Nets have such a monster!"
The Spurs head coach opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.
93 to 96
Roy's continuous efforts allowed the Nets to maintain a slight lead.
Although the gap was not large, Roy's performance almost made the Spurs' home fans despair!
Is there really a player in this world with more powerful talents than Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal?
The media at the scene and in front of the TV were silent. Is this what everyone calls a dull Asian player or Chinese player?
Roy was so powerful tonight that it was trembling. All the key balls hit the weak spots of the Spurs. He should rely on his own strength to support the Nets until now!
Popovich wanted to call a timeout, and he put his hand down after thinking about it.
He knew the player in this state best. He couldn't defend him, and he could only rely on his own offense to drag him down!
Although Roy scored a goal at this moment and felt very proud, only he knew his own state at this time.
Scoring a second attack under the basket is indeed very inspiring, but the physical consumption is even greater. Relying on his young body to hold on until now, Roy's breathing has become less smooth than before.
Yes, Roy is tired. Even an iron body can't stand the finals. He carries the pressure and intensity of the team alone!
The Spurs, who were lagging behind, became more and more crazy. When the Nets just returned to their position and found their own defenders,
Spurs' Parker had already taken the ball through Horry's pick-and-roll and rushed directly to the Nets' three-point line.
Roy was panting heavily, and he slowed down Parker's movement step by step.
Parker knew that he would definitely not get any good results if he forced a breakthrough, so he circled around Roy and forced Roy to chase him.
He chased along the baseline from the left waist to the bottom corner on the right, followed by a long pass to Ginobili at the top of the arc.
Ginobili broke through the layers of defense of the Nets and faced the basket of the Nets.
Helpless Roy could only give up Parker and chased back to the inside to make up for the defense.
Facing the aggressive Roy, Ginobili jumped in the air and passed the ball to Duncan on the free throw line behind him.
Roy dodged Ginobili and went straight toHe rushed to Duncan again,
Duncan at the top of the arc was not in a hurry, and made a fake move, tearing a hole in the Nets' defense that had been turned upside down again,
The basketball was passed diagonally to Ginobili, who had slipped to the bottom of the foot at some point,
Ginobili, who was not defended, made some adjustments amid Roy's wailing and hit a steady three-pointer!
96 to 96
The Spurs tied the score at the most critical moment,
The Spurs home court, which had just been silent, cheered again, as if the silence just now was just for this moment of explosion!
Roy did everything he could, but still couldn't escape the fate of being fooled,
If his teammates were a little useful in this round, Roy wouldn't have to run so far and be fooled around by the opponent,
The offense was not strong, and the defense was unstoppable. It all depended on Roy to clean up the mess behind him. There will always be times when he can't clean up, just like now.
Roy felt more and more tired. He supported his knees with his arms and looked up at the distance. He felt disgusted. He panted and glanced at his teammates. Suddenly, a voice lingered in his mind: Why not give up! At this moment, Roy could only be described as exhausted. Everything seemed hopeless. "Beep" The referee's whistle brought Roy's thoughts back to the court. He turned his head subconsciously and saw that it was Coach Zhu Frank who called a timeout. Roy slowly followed his teammates and arrived at the rest area last. Mulan took the towel from his teammate, wiped his face, and threw it on the ground. He took a few gulps of the drink next to him and fell into his teammate's arms! All the players looked at Roy in silence. They could feel Roy's fatigue and the emotions that were about to burst out.
Roy looked up and scanned his teammates:
"Guys, no one will give you everything. To achieve our goals, we must pay the price of tears, blood, and sweat. Imagine the ups and downs we have gone through. We are only one game away from 3 minutes. I said I would take you back to New Jersey, but please don't give up on yourselves!"
"Many years later, I hope that when you recall this game, you can hold your chest high and say to your children and family: I fought hard, I worked hard, I never gave up, and finally I took the victory from here with pride and won the championship at home!"
