Chapter 140
Unexpectedly, Giannis had just turned around and found Wembanyama's figure in front of him. I saw Wembanyama jump up, grab the ball passed by Chang Tiancheng with both hands, and directly dunk the ball into the basket!
Giannis turned his head and glared at Chang Tiancheng angrily, in his opinion, now should be a one-on-one duel between him and Chang Tiancheng, but Chang Tiancheng chose to pass the ball, which in his opinion is to find a helper.
But Chang Tiancheng had a relaxed expression: This is your Bucks' own choice, didn't you also acquiesce that our Spurs have two stars?
Giannis suppressed the emotions of the entire third quarter at this moment, he strongly stuck Wembanyama, reached out to Holiday who was holding the ball on the outside to ask for the ball, and then continued to increase his efforts on the inside Wembanyama, and after pushing Wembanyama away, this time he chose to dunk directly.
Chang Tiancheng noticed that there was still more than a minute before the end of the third quarter, in other words, the Spurs should have about two offensive opportunities, and he had to take advantage of them to ensure that the Spurs maintained their lead into the fourth quarter of the game.
Chang Tiancheng did not rush to break through Holiday defense this time, but slowly came to the Bucks' half with the ball, and he wanted to play as much offensive time as possible.
Holiday naturally saw his thoughts, if he faced an ordinary player, Holiday should choose to use his physical advantage to press forward and force the opponent to play the ball quickly. But Chang Tiancheng really broke his defense too many times in this game, so he really didn't dare to take this risk, so he could only watch Chang Tiancheng consume the offensive time a little bit outside the three-point line.
With four seconds left in the offensive time, Chang Tiancheng finally started to act, he first broke through to the inside, and then immediately pulled the ball back, ready to shoot a three-pointer.
But Holiday had already predicted Chang Tiancheng's idea, thinking that Chang Tiancheng would press the offensive time to only a few seconds left, and he was still standing on the inside, he would never choose to break through, and he would definitely shoot this three-point shot.
Holiday directly took a step ahead of the position to jam, and at the same time jumped to block Chang Tiancheng's shot, for this defense, he can be said to be full of confidence, after all, he predicted the opponent's action in advance, and also smoothly occupied a favorable defensive position, naturally able to ensure that this ball is guarded.
But Chang Tiancheng made a move that surprised everyone present, only to see Chang Tiancheng fold his body directly in mid-air, and then wrapped his hand around Holiday under his outstretched arm, and then raised it upwards to complete the shot. At the same time that the basketball slid into the net, the referee's whistle blew, and Chang Tiancheng's unbelievable defense even caused Holiday to foul his beater.
Holiday covered his head directly after landing on the ground, and his eyes showed disbelief. The flawless defense he thought he had was unexpectedly cracked by Chang Tiancheng with a completely unreasonable offense.
Chang Tiancheng hit a free throw steadily, and directly helped the Spurs score four points through this offense.
When it came to the Bucks' offensive round, they could only choose to continue to believe in their star Giannis and continue to pass the ball to him. And Giannis knows that this may be his team's last offense in this round, so naturally he will not think about the problem of physical exertion, anyway, he can make up for it when the third quarter is rested.
Giannis directly chose the simplest and most efficient offensive method, and after a back-to-back single, he didn't even bother to use the sinking step, directly forced an elbow to break Wembanyama, and then scored two points with a one-handed dunk to grab the frame.
But when this shot was over, Giannis also felt that his current physical strength tally was empty, after all, he also spent almost the entire third quarter hand-to-hand with Wembanyama on the inside, and in addition to the interior offense, he also had to be divided some energy on the defensive end, which increased his physical exertion.
But it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, this is the last attack of his own team, even if he directly empties his physical strength slot, it doesn't matter.
With 20 seconds left in the game, Chang Tiancheng is still unhurried with the ball, and everyone knows that he will definitely continue to press the time as he did just now and not leave the Bucks an offensive opportunity.
Therefore, the Bucks' opponent rhythm is also a little slower, and they also feel that Chang Tiancheng will choose to continue to shoot three-pointers.
Especially Giannis, who had just completed the violent buckle, he was gasping for breath while stepping back and staring at Chang Tiancheng tightly. wants to rush over to complete a block on Chang Tiancheng when he shoots a three-pointer, so as to boost the team's morale. Although it is also a question whether his current physical strength can support him to make this action.
But Chang Tiancheng suddenly lowered the center of gravity of his entire body very low, and then threw out an ultra-long-distance ground-hitting pass, which directly stuffed the ball to Wembanyama, who had already killed the inside of the Bucks.
This move also made everyone unbelievable, after all, if Wembanyama completes this finish, it will be equivalent to the Spurs giving the Bucks another chance to attack.
But Chang Tiancheng yelled at Wembanyama: "Let it go, Victor!"
Wembanyama himself didn't want to continue to drag on time, I saw him jump high, facing the Bucks' only big Lopez who was still standing on the inside defense at this time, and directly scored this goal on the head of Da Lopez with a two-handed dunk!
With Wembanyama scoring and less than ten seconds left in the third quarter, five Spurs players quickly returned to defend in order to prevent the opposition's fast break.
And Holiday fed Giannis a whole section of the ball, and after receiving the serve from Da Lopez, he instinctively gave Giannis the last chance to attack.
At this time, Giannis felt a little cryless in his heart. His physical fitness is actually not enough to support him to carry out another inside attack, but now that the ball is in his hands, it is naturally impossible for him to pass the ball out again, otherwise he will be infamous as "throwing the pot", which will also have a certain impact on the morale of the team.
Giannis gritted his teeth and tried to make a break with the ball on the outside.
But Wembanyama had expected him to do so, so he took a defensive position early, leaving Giannis no room to defend at all.
Giannis saw that he couldn't break through quickly, and the offensive time was getting faster and faster, so he had no choice but to force a three-point shot from outside the three-point line.
