Chapter 284 The last minute of G6! The decisive moment!
Before Lin Qiang could catch his breath, the timeout was over.
The players could only return to the court in a hurry.
Next will be the most critical moment, Kobe is also back.
A rest period of just tens of seconds is far from enough for the players.
At this stage of the game, the physical fitness of both sides has basically reached its limit.
As soon as James came up, he hit a three-pointer.
James, who shot less than 35% of his three-pointers in the playoffs this season, is showing off his superstar style.
Lin Tian was right. After coming back, he hit a step-back three-pointer against James.
Both sides clung to the score, denying either side a chance to open up the score.
Time passed quickly, and the scores of the two teams also took the lead alternately.
As if forming some kind of tacit understanding, both sides almost ran out of attack time every time they attacked without a good chance.
Witnessed by the entire audience, there were only two minutes left in the game.
The score at this time is 73:72, Lakers 73, Cavaliers 72.
As Tyronn Lue took the initiative to call a timeout, the players got a short rest, and the fans seemed to have a brief chance to breathe.
Lin Tian's playing time has reached 46 minutes.
Severe pain spread throughout his body, causing him to grit his teeth.
Although Kobe's playing time is not as much as Lin Tian's, he looks more tired than Lin Tian.
During this short break, the team's doctor was still massaging Kobe's calf.
The tense atmosphere spread throughout the bench and into the audience.
NBA President Adam Silver also showed a rare expression of surprise.
It is really rare to see such a suspenseful G6.
If the Lakers are ahead enough, that's fine, then they can arrange for people to arrange the court in advance. After all, there are many things to do today, including awarding the championship trophy and Kobe's retirement ceremony.
Compared with the championship trophy, a large number of fans come simply for Kobe.
An NBA staff member walked up to Xiao Hua and whispered, telling him that the ratings of today's all-American live broadcast had broken the historical record, which made a smile appear on Xiao Hua's face.
Since Xiao Hua took over as president, the reputation of the NBA has not been as good as that of the Stern era. This is even recognized.
Some NBA fans even bluntly said that he ruined the ratings.
Data proves that the arrival of the small ball era has indeed caused NBA ratings to drop a lot compared to previous years.
Xiao Hua has also been under great pressure in recent years.
Today, he finally achieved a rather proud achievement.
No matter who loses or wins today, the NBA is perfect this season!
After Xiao Hua came to his senses, he found that the two-minute contest between the two sides to recover the Oh family had begun.
The ball is in the hands of the Cavaliers, and James controls the ball himself.
"defence..."
The deafening shouts echoed from every corner of the Staples Center.
Even the waiter who was serving beer to the fans stopped what he was doing and shouted slogans along with everyone.
James dribbled the ball with his left hand and rubbed the jersey on his chest with his right hand.
He raised his eyes and looked at the timer, wanting to try to surprise Lin Tian.
Lin Tian concentrated on defense and did not give James any chance to break through.
The voices of the fans at the scene did give Lin Tian strength invisibly.
After failing to break through, James passed the ball to Irving.
Nick Young, who was guarding Irving, instantly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Irving coolly dribbled the ball behind his back, and then suddenly shot a three-pointer at lightning speed.
This three-pointer is even a bit far from the three-point line.
Nick Young tried his best to block it, but still couldn't.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball flying in the air.
Whoosh!
The ball hit the net hollowly.
A chill that reached straight to the soul swept over him.
All the home fans sighed in unison.
It was almost a three-pointer at the buzzer.
There are 1 minute and 37 seconds left in the game.
James walked up to Irving and patted Irving's butt, with a smile on his face.
Nick Young looked annoyed.
He has tried his best, but this is a magic ball.
Lin Tian was also thoughtful.
Irving's three-pointer reminded him of his previous life.
It was the tiebreaker of the 2016 Finals, and Irving used a three-pointer to help the Cavaliers complete a comeback against the Warriors.
Is it possible that the script will be played out for the Lakers in this life?
Before he could think too much, Howard was already serving.
After Lin Tian got the ball, he walked through half court without changing.
James stared at Lin Tian, as if he was afraid that Lin Tian would suddenly shoot a three-pointer.
With little game time left, Lin Tian refused to gamble his luck with three-pointers.
Like the last offensive round, he quietly consumed the attack time.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye there were only a few seconds left.
According to the tactics arranged in advance, Kobe suddenly ran over and played a pick-and-roll for Lin Tian.
James saw through the Lakers' intentions early on and forced his way past Kobe Bryant, not giving others a chance to defend Lin Tian.
Seeing James pressing forward step by step, Lin Tian passed the ball decisively and then rushed directly to the basket.
After Kobe received the ball, he shook J.R. Smith with a continuous crotch dribble, and then suddenly shot his signature fadeaway jumper.
When Kobe shot the ball, all the inside players and wing players on both sides huddled under the basket and prepared to grab rebounds.
Whoosh!
The mid-range shot was a solid hit.
The audience burst into applause.
The fans cheered and celebrated the goal.
Kobe also took a bite of the jersey on his chest with a fierce look in his eyes. After the ball was scored, the score between the two sides was tied at 75.
There are 1 minute and 17 seconds left on the clock.
Returning to the starting line again, James pushed forward with the ball expressionlessly. He did not choose to shoot a three-pointer, but began to waste time.
Soon, the audience was already in less than a minute.
The game officially enters the count-down time.
Tyronn Lue yelled and ordered the players to move.
Lin Tian's positioning has also mainly become to prevent James from breaking through.
He knows that the physical fitness of the players on both sides has reached its limit.
Shooting a three-pointer at this time is definitely not a wise choice.
Judging from James' character, there is a high probability that he will break through.
Sure enough, James quickly took the ball and went inside.
His bulldozer attack made Lin Tian unable to defend himself.
When he reached the penalty area, James chose to throw.
Lin Tian used all the strength he had to get up and jumped to interfere.
Although he didn't block it, his defense had a great interference effect.
The ball hit the frame first, then wobbled in.
The score was rewritten to 77:75, with the Cavaliers leading by 2 points.
There are only 54 seconds left in the game.
Scott called a timeout to temporarily relieve the players' nervousness.
Chapter completed!
