Chapter 218 Heaven-defying lore! Difficulty stepping into the western lore!
"After Nick Young serves the ball later! Unless there is a good chance to score two points under the basket, shoot a three-pointer!"
Scott took a pen and kept drawing tactics for the next ball on the tactical board.
If two points are scored, it's just a tie and overtime will be played.
If it's a three-pointer, it's a buzzer beater!
Lin Tian, Kobe and others wiped their sweat while looking at the tactical board.
Kobe suddenly pointed his finger at Lin Tian and said: "Lin, I will cover you without the ball later! You come and shoot this ball!"
Lin Tian, who had copied the big hearts of Iverson and Anthony, could actually hear his own heartbeat clearly at this time.
On such an important occasion, will I be the one to shoot the winning shot?
If he misses the shot, his rookie season will officially be over.
And Kobe will also end his NBA career.
The price of losing was too great, and huge pressure swept over him, making Lin Tian feel like he couldn't breathe.
He has played for more than half a season, and this is the first time he has been so nervous.
As if he could see the tension in Lin Tian's eyes, Kobe walked up to Lin Tian and reached out to touch his head: "Kid! You have to face this day!"
Lin Tian took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Come on! Let's end this series!"
On the Thunder side, Donovan also looked serious: "Listen to me! Use all your strength! Even if you break your legs, you must not let Lin and Kobe run out of space! It's best not to let them
The ball comes out! Guys! We have one foot in the Western Conference semifinals! As long as we try our best to prevent the Lakers' last ball! We will win! Be careful, don't let Lin and Kobe catch the ball. If
When they catch the ball, they double-team and double-team!"
Beep...
The referee blew the whistle and the players on both sides stepped onto the court again.
The ten players who came on stage at this time are also today's starting players.
The person in charge of serving for the Lakers is Nick Young.
Because a timeout had just been called, he could serve outside the center line, which saved half-time.
But 2.8 seconds is almost fleeting, and there are basically only opportunities to catch the ball and shoot.
In fact, the player responsible for serving is even more stressed than the four players preparing to receive the ball.
Because you only have 5 seconds to serve, your opponent will definitely try their best to intercept it!
And once one's own players don't have a chance to catch the ball, it will be embarrassing.
In fact, the NBA has no shortage of examples of service errors in decisive moments.
After the referee handed the ball to Nick Young with both hands, he blew the whistle.
The players on the court began to chase each other.
"Defence...!"
The sound made by the Thunder fans at home seemed to be able to overturn the entire arena!
Westbrook was responsible for interfering with Nick Young's serve. He spread his arms and waved constantly, and occasionally jumped up to block Nick Young's sight.
Just like the tactics Scott deployed during the timeout, Howard stood under the basket, Tucker stood on the wing, and Kobe rushed over to provide Lin Tian with an off-ball screen.
When the two passed by, Durant chose to force his way past Kobe! He killed Lin Tian!
The off-ball screen failed! Durant blocked directly in front of Lin Tian, and Robertson followed closely behind Kobe.
5…
4…
3…
There was no timer on site to record the serving time, but Nick Young counted the seconds in his mind.
5 seconds of serving time is too little for him!
When he estimated that five seconds had passed, the four players on the field had not yet been able to get out of the open space.
Nick Young almost jumped up in excitement.
If you delay for another two seconds, you will have to serve!
At this time, Lin Tian ran in the opposite direction and finally deceived Durant and got a very short chance to catch the ball.
Nick Young, who was not good at passing the ball, seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and quickly passed the ball in his hand.
When Lin Tian received Nick Young's pass, Durant had already come back and stood in front of him! Along with Robertson, he also double-teamed directly.
He subconsciously looked up at the timer. The attack time was less than two seconds, and the milliseconds were constantly changing.
As soon as Robertson rushed over, he directly got up and joined forces with Durant to grab the ball from Lin Tian's hand.
They all know that in the last few seconds, there is no problem with the intensity of the confrontation, and the referee generally will not blow the whistle.
Noticing that Lin Tian was in trouble, Yin Baka on the inside was also overjoyed and rushed over to defend.
Because he knew that Lin Tian had lost the best opportunity to pass the ball!
Seeing Lin Tian being flanked by two of the Thunder's top defensive players, Kobe was also heartbroken!
Under such circumstances, let alone shooting, even passing the ball is a luxury!
1.5 seconds…
1.2 seconds…
1 second……
At this moment, the passage of time seems to have slowed down a lot!
Most of the Thunder fans had already stood up and cheered.
As for Lin Tian, who was on the court, the power burst out from nowhere.
He used his upper body to push away Durant, and at the same time, he used his legs hard to barely take off from outside the three-point line!
During the take-off process, Lin Tian held the ball in both hands and passed Robertson's shot.
At the moment when the attack time was about to run out, Lin Tian used his last strength to throw the ball with difficulty while his movements were almost deformed.
Buzz…
The shot clock came to an abrupt end! A circle of red lights on the backboard, symbolizing the end of time, lit up.
The basketball arced through the air and flew towards the basket.
The hearts of the audience, players, staff, and media reporters in the entire arena were all in suspense!
Their eyes, without exception, followed the ball, which was only 24.6 centimeters in diameter.
Everyone’s hearts are in their throats!
Durant also turned back and stared at the basketball in the air, praying ten thousand times in his heart, just not to score.
Whoosh!
Under the gaze of everyone, the ball fell steadily into the basket, making a very pleasant sound as it scraped the net.
The ball seemed a little weak, but it went in!
The Pisacek Energy Center Arena, where more than 20,000 people were seated, was as quiet as if there was no one around!
The quiet atmosphere lasted for three seconds before the Lakers fan area erupted in loud cheers!
Kobe immediately rushed towards Lin Tian, who was still maintaining his shooting posture.
Because of the excessive force, he actually pushed Lin Tian directly to the ground.
Howard and Nick Young also rushed towards Lin Tian.
Players on the Lakers bench rushed onto the court at the same time to celebrate.
On the Thunder side, almost all the players walked towards the referee. Durant pointed at the timer and shouted loudly: "Timeout! Timeout!"
The referee, who was not sure if it was a timeout, also blew his whistle, indicating that he wanted to watch the replay.
As a result, everyone's hearts were lifted again.
Thunder fans still have a glimmer of luck.
Their eyes were all fixed on the big screen at the top of the arena.
The replay center quickly gives slow motion replay.
On the screen, the ball left Lin Tian's finger by about five centimeters before the red light turned on.
At this moment, the home fans were heartbroken!
The referee watched the replay twice more and finally gave the penalty: the goal is valid!
Chapter completed!
