Chapter 293: Chasing points! The Spurs don’t want to give up the game!
The current score is obviously not acceptable to Coach Popovich!
But… this stubborn old man did not take a tactical pause.

He hopes that his players can find their own form in the game!
With two minutes left in the second quarter, the Cavaliers finally made a substitution.

The team’s star player, Wang Yan, was replaced by a substitute player!

In other words.

During this period of time, Wang Yan will not appear on the court!

“Wang Yan is off the court! This is definitely a good opportunity for the Spurs to catch up! I hope the Cavaliers players on the court can withstand the opponent’s impact!”

As a Chinese commentator, Yu Jia naturally hopes that the Cavaliers can win tonight!
On the Spurs’ bench, Popovich’s eyes suddenly lit up after seeing Wang Yan leave the court!
It is clear.

As a relatively experienced head coach, Popovich also knew that this would be the team’s chance to overtake the score! !

But… there are only two minutes left for the Spurs players!
At this moment, Ginobili had already moved the basketball to the frontcourt at the fastest speed. For a moment, both Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving focused their attention on this Argentine demon sword!
The latter suddenly stopped and took decisive action!
After seeing this, the two Cavaliers players did not think too much, but reached out to block it as quickly as possible!

It’s a pity that Ginobili’s real idea was not to shoot, but to pass the ball! !
He used all the force of passing the ball to throw the basketball in his hand quickly!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc over the heads of several Cavaliers players and went straight into the hands of Tim Duncan! !

“Chance!”

“The Spurs’ chance!”

“Tim Duncan faced the double-team defense of two Cavaliers inside players and completed the dunk with almost no pressure!”

“Sure enough, when Wang Yan left the court, not many players could limit Tim Duncan’s scoring!”

In the stands of the Quicken Loans Arena, tens of thousands of Cavaliers fans were under great pressure after seeing Tim Duncan complete a dunk! !
At the same time, the broadcast camera suddenly turned to the Cavaliers head coach Scott.

There was no sign of panic on the latter’s face, as if everything was within his expectations!

In fact, in the previous game, the Cavaliers encountered such an embarrassing situation. After Wang Yan returned to the bench, the offensive and defensive efficiency of the entire team was greatly reduced!

However, Scott also understood that this situation would completely disappear after Wang Yan appeared!
at this time.

Jimmy Butler also stood up!

The Cavaliers’ outside player dribbled the ball quickly, and at the top of the three-point arc, Jimmy Butler suddenly chose to make a quick stop jump shot!

Jimmy Butler knows very well that when Wang Yan leaves the court, the current Cavaliers team needs someone else to step up!

“Jimmy Butler!”

“The three-pointer is a sure hit!”

“This Cavaliers’ outside attacker withstood the pressure during this attack!”

“Three-point hit!”

As commentator Yu Jia’s cheers rang out, many Cavaliers fans in the stands showed joy on their faces!
There is no doubt that this is the situation that every Cavaliers fan wants to see most!
“Finally, a second Cavaliers player stood up! Jimmy Butler successfully stood up when the team needed him most! He withstood the pressure of the game!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Spurs’ counterattack was already in place!
The Spurs have little time left to attack, they need to race against time!!
A few seconds later.

Tony Parker has already come to the frontcourt with the ball. Because his dribbling speed is so fast, it makes it difficult for the entire Cavaliers’ defensive players to keep up with the rhythm of the French superstar!
In just a few seconds, Tony Parker rushed outside the three-point line!

Immediately afterwards, Tony Parker looked up at the position of the basket and shot quickly!
The basketball was like a meteor, heading straight for the basket!

“Shh!”

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

This was almost a buzzer-beater at the last moment of the second quarter!

Suddenly, all the Cavaliers fans in the stands looked disappointed.

Obviously, this is not the result they want to see most!
“The first half of the game between the two teams is over! The score between the two sides is 56:50! The Cavaliers, playing at home, have only established a six-point lead!”

“Overall, the Spurs were in pretty good shape tonight, especially on the offensive end! They were able to compete with the Cavaliers most of the time!”

“Besides, a six-point lead is rare in the basketball world. Perhaps, it won’t be long before the Spurs will tie or even overtake the opponent in the second half!”

……

Inside the Spurs locker room.

Popovich roared angrily: “I emphasize again, after the start of the third quarter, our main task is still to focus on defense!”

“Especially the restrictions on Wang Yan, you must be brave enough to fight! Don’t hesitate at all!”

Popovich continued earnestly, “If nothing unexpected happens, after the start of the second half, the Cavaliers will still use Wang Yan as the offensive core. Our task is to defend! Do our best to defend!”

“As long as we can stop Wang Yan from scoring, I believe that the victory tonight is destined to belong to us Spurs!!”

In fact, Popovich did not provide much tactical guidance during the halftime break. In fact, in Popovich’s opinion, the Spurs players are in excellent shape now!

As long as they can be more serious or work harder, victory will definitely belong to the Spurs!

soon.

After more than ten minutes of rest, the third quarter battle between the two teams officially began.

The head coaches of both sides also sent out their strongest lineups to face the challenge!
On the Spurs side, when Ginobili brought the basketball to the frontcourt, facing the layers of defense from multiple players, he did not choose to pass the ball, but instead accurately passed the basketball in his hand to Tim Duncan under the basket!
to be frank.

In Ginobili’s mind, he has always believed that Tim Duncan is absolutely capable of fighting hard with his opponents!
And in fact, it is true.

Under the basket.

After Tim Duncan used his body to hold back Wang Yan, he did not pause for too long. He turned around and attacked immediately!

Suddenly, the basketball flashed past Wang Yan’s head.

This time, the winner is Tim Duncan!
