Chapter 158
The desire to win, the desire to defeat the defending champions to revitalize the team's morale and confidence, made everyone not give up the game yet.
Offense not working?
Then make up for it in other aspects.
Da Yao focused on protecting the rim and screening.
Hinrich focused on running, using his three-point threat to create as much offensive space for teammates as possible, and defense was also further focused.
Antonio also focused on rim protection and defense.
Big brother Pippen kept clapping and shouting, giving teammates encouragement on a spiritual level.
And Su Yan was the same, while looking for opportunities on offense, he also tried his best on the defensive end, reducing the Spurs' offensive efficiency.
Everyone worked together.
It played quite well.
10 minutes passed.
Su Yan scored 8 points, bringing his score to 45 points.
However... the Spurs, with stronger overall strength, were still leading by 5 points, putting pressure on the Bulls.
The key 2-minute showdown.
The defensive pressure the Spurs gave Su Yan was greater, Su Yan's attack was not smooth, and the two teams didn't play smoothly in the past 3 minutes.
Both fell into a scoring drought.
"Clang!"
Su Yan's mid-range shot under high-intensity defense missed again.
Rebound?
Da Yao couldn't grab it, but tipped it out, at the free-throw line, Pippen collected a crucial rebound, looked at Su Yan who was surrounded.
"Whoosh!"
A pass, found Hinrich who came out of the baseline.
Then half-turned, raised his hand for a three-pointer.
Hand up, knife down.
"Swish!"
Swish, nothing but net.
The Spurs threw the ball from the baseline, although only in his 2nd year, Ginobili, who was fearless at critical moments, made a long pass across half the court from the baseline.
Wanted to find Turkoglu in the logo area.
Result?
Su Yan flashed out like a ghost, intercepting the basketball in mid-air.
"Wooow~ appeared, the steal demon."
After Su Yan stole the ball, he didn't stop the ball, passed it to Hinrich who had just hit a three-pointer and hadn't fully returned to the court, and Hinrich took a step forward after catching the ball.
Left arc.
A step outside the three-point line, raised his hand for another three-pointer.
What now?
"Swish!"
Hit in the air again.
At the critical moment, Hinrich suddenly exploded, three-pointers in a row, hit 2 three-pointers in a row, the Bulls suddenly had a 6:0 wave, not only wiping out the 5-point gap.
But also overtook by 1 point.
The situation turned around.
"Whoosh~"
The arena was in an uproar, Bulls fans who saw the possibility of winning were all rubbing their hands, waving their arms, very excited.
Pressure on the Spurs.
"Clang!"
Parker pushed it up, a mid-range shot after a screen didn't go in.
But.
Duncan in the paint saw the timing, jumped up, and put back in the air... hit.
The "GDP" in front of his eyes, the titles of Parker in smooth situations and Ginobili in desperate situations hadn't been played out yet, the team was still mostly carried by "Shi Fu" Duncan alone.
Look at "Shi Fu" in adversity.
This saying is absolutely correct!
And transition offense... Su Yan used the 【Heavenly Emperor's Eye】, one left and one right, two spins, nimbly bypassing Ginobili and Turkoglu.
Into the paint.
Stopped abruptly and jumped for a mid-range shot.
"Swish!"
Hit steadily.
In the eyes of others, Su Yan's shot tonight, because of his hot state, is actually a hardcore shooting ability under 【Primary Mid-Range Shooting】.
Su Yan also hit strongly.
"COME! ON!"
Mike Breen: ""Shi Fu" Duncan in adversity, hit a strong putback, but "Anticipation Master" Su Yan also responded immediately.
It's burning!
Duncan and Su Yan.
"FMVP" and "Undrafted player comparable to Big Shark", this is a rhythm of exploding against each other at a critical moment!!!" ===== CHAPTER 160 =====
