288 The Big Three Shows Out, Two Stands of Winning at Home

The game is still in full swing, the Suns' counterattack flames are still fierce, and the strength of the Pistons does not allow them to lose this victory at home!

After Andre Iguodala dribbled the ball through halftime, she handed the ball to Zhou Yi as soon as possible. After receiving the ball, Zhou Yi immediately pressed his waist to protect the ball and was ready to break through.

Goran Dragic stared at the yellow-skinned boy in front of him, with a strange and serious expression on his face, and lowered his waist and spread his arms to make a defensive posture.

Goran Dragic did not have a contemptuous attitude towards Zhou Yi because he was a rookie. He knew that Zhou Yi in front of him was definitely no worse than those stars. No, in Goran Dragic's eyes, Zhou Yi is already a super player, and a super player that can make anyone have a headache. Therefore, his defensive attitude towards Zhou Yi is the same as when facing superstars such as Kobe.

Zhou Yi's expression was as usual, and he gave a look at Greg Monroe, who was competing for the position with the Suns center near the penalty area, immediately gave up what he wanted to do, ran out of the three-point line at the first time, and played a pick-and-roll for Zhou Yi.

After Golan Dragic was blocked by his teammate Greg Monroe, Zhou Yi quickly seized the opportunity and immediately dribbled the ball horizontally to the right, leaving Golan Dragic's defense range. He also collected the ball at the same time, jumped on the spot, and threw the ball out.

However, he is still nearly one meter away from the three-point line at this moment.

Extra-long three-pointer?

This question arose in people's minds at the same time. They don't understand why Zhou Yi chose to take action at such a long distance. Zhou Yi can definitely use breakthroughs to score more stably.

Driven by doubts, people silently stared at the basketball flying in the air. When the basketball reached near the basket, the doubts in people's hearts were completely resolved...

The ball was near the basket, but its flying route completely deviated from the basket and smashed straight into the rebound! However, just when people thought that Zhou Yi missed a three-pointer due to forced attack, a figure wearing the Pistons' white No. 1 home uniform suddenly rushed into the penalty area, and when the ball was about to hit the rebound, he jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air with his right hand, and smashed the ball into the basket!

"Bang!" The passionate and domineering air relay heavy slap was completed with one hand!

"Roar~~~~" After McGrady landed, she didn't even look at Robin Lopez standing beside her. After taking a deep breath, she let out a beast-like roar in the sky.

After hearing this roar, the Pistons fans felt a sudden burst of blood rushing into their hearts, and then it quickly spread to their bodies, causing the blood in their bodies to move wildly.

"Tracey~~~~McGrady~~~~" The roars echoed throughout the audience, and all the fans were frantically, raging, excited, and boiling!

Full of passion, crazy boiling! Unlimited excitement, unlimited passion!

John Custer felt the hot and boiling atmosphere on the court, and a smile of relief and sigh appeared on his face: "Haha, it seems that the outcome of this game has been decided..."

Zhou Yi silently watched McGrady running to the backcourt with Andre Iguodala and celebrating with high fives. He smiled slightly on his face and said softly: "It seems that this deal really liberated McGrady! Andre Iguodala's arrival has brought new vitality to the team."

Steve Nash looked solemn, and the situation is very unfavorable for the Suns.

Steve Nash controlled the ball and steadily advanced towards the Pistons half. After halftime, Steve Nash suddenly accelerated and rushed into the Pistons' penalty area.

Zhou Yi pressed Steve Nash tightly and blocked his shooting angle and passing angle. But Steve Nash still passed the ball out, and it was very beautiful.

Grant Hill received a pass from Steve Nash and took action from outside the three-point line. With a "swish" sound, the ball was hollowed into the net.

The Pistons missed the offense, Steve Nash grabbed the backcourt rebound and launched a full attack, completing a perfect cooperation with Robin Lopez.

Steve Nash assisted Robin Lopez with his hands and his hands filled the basket.

Zhou Yi missed a three-pointer, but power forward Greg Monroe grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored a heavy dunk with one hand.

At two minutes and thirty-one seconds in the fourth quarter, Andre Iguodala successfully intercepted Grant Hill, launched a fast break, dribbled the ball into the inside of the Suns, and passed the ball behind him to Zhou Yi who was running towards him. After receiving the ball, the latter made a quick stop and jump shot from mid-range after receiving the ball.

On the Suns' side, Steve Nash responded with a three-pointer.

McGrady gently lifted the ball and slowly wandered around. His blurry eyes, which were like sleepless, were always placed on his opponent. The uninformed person looked at McGrady and would definitely think that he had not woken up yet, and could even be said to be sleepwalking.

However, it was McGrath's expression that made every nerve in his cousin Vince Carter's body tense, and he did not dare to be careless or did not dare to make any moves. Because Vince Carter knew very well that McGrath is definitely a dangerous guy now. As long as he made a move, he would definitely fall into a land of no return.

McGrady, he seemed to have no intention of fighting, and was in a sleepwalking state, but in fact, he was always brewing an attack and could completely destroy his opponent.

Just as McGrady walked to the outside of the three-point line and faced the basket, he changed his movements. He suddenly stopped dribbling, his body turned naturally, his knees bent, and his whole body relaxed, and he looked like he was going to shoot a three-pointer!

Seeing McGrady's movements, Vince Carter immediately gritted his teeth, jumped up reflexively, raised his hands and tried to block McGrady, but when he jumped up, he realized that he had made a huge mistake. McGrady did not jump and shoot at the first time.

McGrady's face showed a sneer of success, and then he jumped forward, knocking his body against Vince Carter, causing his body to lose balance.

"Drip!" The referee's whistle sounded at this moment, and McGrady also pushed the ball with both hands as soon as her body lost balance.

"Bang!" What disappointed McGrady and the Pistons was that the ball did not score. However, this does not mean that this attack only achieved this time, because the referee has not made a foul penalty yet!

"No. 25, the foul was made and three free throws!"

McGrady made two of three free throws, and the last free throw was confiscated. Suns' Marsin Gotat took the defensive rebound. Immediately, Suns' head coach Elvin Gentry called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Suns suddenly burst out with combat power that they had never had before in this game. They seemed to have changed into a team, giving the Pistons a painful blow, which surprised the Pistons and the fans of the court.

With one minute and fifty seconds left in the game, the Suns finally narrowed the gap to single digits. Fans at Auburn Mountain Palace Arena could not believe everything in front of them. With the Pistons' offense being smooth, the Suns actually approached the score bit by bit. In less than two minutes, they still maintained an advantage of 8 points, but the fans could not see the gap of 8 points. How can the team's victory be guaranteed?

Although the ball is in the hands of the Pistons, they do not need to attack now, they only need the team's defensive defense. It doesn't matter whether the team scores or not. In the remaining time, as long as they make good use of their advantages and suppress the Suns' counterattack, victory is what they most hope to see.

Zhou Yi suddenly staggered and made a mistake in dribbling. For some players, in just a moment, it was enough for them to complete many moves. Steve Nash, who was just defending him, was the best among them. At the moment when he was stunned, his right hand spitted a letter like a poisonous snake, and cut off the ball in his hand like lightning, turning around and making a long pass.

The Pistons players were obviously not prepared for this mistake. Seeing Marsin Gotat jumping high in the three-second zone, holding his hands high above his head, and when the person reached the top, he smashed it hard. Such a powerful and heavy dunk made the entire arena tremble.

126:120, looking at the dazzling score on the scorer, John Custer finally called a timeout. In just a few minutes, the Pistons' advantage of more than ten points was exhausted. What made him even more annoyed was that since Steve Nash came on the court, three Suns players have scored one after another, and Robin Lopez, the inside, defended very well, and twice resolved the Pistons' key goals.

This is definitely not the strength of the Suns, nor is it the strength of the Pistons. However, the performance of the two teams on the court is exactly the opposite of their real strength. There is still one and a half minutes left in the game. As long as the timeout is properly used this time, the initiative in the game is still in his own hands.

"The Pistons' timeout is very timely. Judging from the current scores of both sides, the Pistons still have absolute initiative. However, according to the performance of the two teams just now, the advantage of these 6 points is not very big, and there will be no two round trips. The Pistons must pay the most attention to now, that they must not make mistakes." Zhang Heli analyzed.

John Custer is not only worried about this, but the Pistons' rebounding also took advantage of the problem. Within more than three minutes just now, Marsin Gott took three frontcourt rebounds in a row, giving the Suns three attack opportunities. Now the game is at a critical moment of fighting every minute, and each rebound is worth a thousand gold.

The Pistons have just insisted on playing a lineup with a big team with four small teams. This lineup wins in speed, but its weakness in rebounding is destined to be unavoidable. Now it seems that the lineup just now has little effect for the Suns. In order to regain the balance on rebounding, John Custer sent Samuel Durhamport again.

Samuel Durhamport is a new player to join the Pistons this season. In order to strengthen the strength of the inside, the Pistons deliberately poached him from the Kings this season.

Since joining the Pistons, Samuel Durhamport has performed very well in the early stage, averaging 78 points per game and also taking 75 rebounds per game. However, as the season deepens, Samuel Durhamport's performance has declined a bit, and it is ultimately due to the injury.

After Samuel Durhamport came on the court, he teamed up with Greg Monroe to gain the upper hand in the interior Pistons.

On the Suns' bench, Elvin Gentry looked very serious, and he clicked a few times on the tactical board, and arranged the following tactics to the players in a deep voice.

"At this stage of the game, both teams no longer have much physical strength, especially the Suns. Now they are fighting for one breath. Once someone's anger is released first, there will be no hope for the game." Yu Jia's expression also seemed very serious.

Samuel Durhamport is worthy of being a powerful player. After playing, he immediately took a frontcourt rebound. Zhou Yi made a wonderful pass and made a three-pointer. The difference between the two teams opened the double digits again. This goal can be said to be the most valuable goal of the Pistons so far. The game time is only one minute and thirteen seconds left, with a 9-point advantage. The Pistons' victory is close.

Will Bynum off the court and a group of substitutes could no longer sit still, stood up, raised his fists to celebrate the Pistons' victory. The fans of Auburn Palace Arena immediately became active, and many people began to cheer for the arrival of victory.

Elvin Gentry's face suddenly turned pale. He was still full of confidence just now, but the Pistons' goal made him give up completely, and there was less than a minute left.

Zhou Yi enjoyed the wonderful moments with all his heart, but he was not proud because Steve Nash was standing there in front of him.

Steve Nash was running towards his halftime, and in a blink of an eye, he reached outside the three-point line. At this time, a black shadow quickly passed by him. Steve Nash's movement was so slow in front of him, and there was no omission in every move. Seeing Steve Nash's elegant jump, the ball quickly flew out of his fingers.

"Swish", in fact, Zhou Yi doesn't need to listen to it, and he knows that this ball will definitely score. Steve Nash's shooting standards just now are like textbooks.

McGrady didn't notice Zhou Yi's distractedness. Seeing that he was still in the Suns' half, he felt a little happy. This was an excellent opportunity to launch a fast break. As long as Zhou Yi plays this fast break, he can truly lock in the victory.

Zhou Yi had just come back to his senses and saw a huge basketball flying quickly to his eyes. His instinctive head flashed. Steve Nash easily caught the ball, and a long pass quickly handed it to Robin Lopez. At this time, there was no Pistons defense player in front of Robin Lopez. Robin Lopez's dunk seemed to be about to break the Pistons' rebound.

With one minute and five seconds left in the game, the Suns players broke out again. No, it was Steve Nash. He scored five points in a row in just half a minute, and everything seemed full of suspense again.

The two teams fought to 130:126. Now the Pistons only have a 20-second short pause left, but obviously yuehan kusite will not foolishly help the Suns call the timeout at this time.

At this time, the Suns showed a strong counterattack momentum, which made the game more suspense, especially after Steve Nash reappeared, the Suns completely suppressed the Pistons.

Zhou Yi broke through with the ball, attracted double teams, and handed over the ball to McGrady.

McGrady made a mid-range jump shot, and the ball entered with a "swish".

The Pistons have regained their momentum, and the Pistons' new three giants have all shown their value as core players at critical moments.

The Suns attacked, but the Pistons defended for three seconds, and the Suns got a chance to throw one free throw.

With Steve Nash's free throw hit, the suspense of the game was reborn. There was no previous attention to the victory or defeat of the two teams, but instead focused all their attention on the game.

Zhou Yi's mood is the most complicated now. At the most critical moment of the game, his distraction made the team walk to the edge of a harsh cliff. John Custer's loss of composure just now also had a lot to do with him. He would definitely not have expected that the player he had always been the most at ease was the culprit who pulled the team into danger.

Looking at the excited expressions on the Suns players' faces, Zhou Yi felt unprecedented fighting spirit in his heart. He was known for his calmness and perseverance during the game, but at this time, he also had an impulse in his heart. He would get up wherever he fell, and his mistakes would be saved by himself.

John Custer looked anxious and had no usual calmness. He was very proud of the timeout just now and recovered the decline at the critical moment of the team.

Steve Nash took the serve from Grant Hill and began to organize the team's offense. Now it's less than a minute, and he has really entered the countdown stage.

Steve Nash broke through with the ball, then passed the ball to Marsin Gotat. The latter hit Samuel Durhamport and hooked the ball. The ball jumped and finally fell into the basket.

132:129, the Pistons only led by 3 points.

At the most critical moment of the game, every second is crucial. In order to prevent the Pistons from regaining the rhythm, the Suns players tacitly defended the whole game. At the last moment of the game, the lagging side generally adopted two tactics. One is to guard the whole game with a tight defense, and the other is to make mistakes with the opponent. The other is to make foul tactics. However, now they are behind, and there is still time, so they will not use foul tactics. And now they are facing the Pistons. Their players on the court are very stable in free throws.

Zhou Yi just received the ball at the three-point line, and Steve Nash appeared next to him immediately, trying to force Zhou Yi out of the field.

Zhou Yi passed him with a false alarm. Steve Nash's heart tightened. The seemingly simple movement just now, but Zhou Yi seemed very decisive and did not have any fatigue in playing a game. It seemed that the mistake just now had stimulated the young man's self-esteem.

After fighting with the young man in front of him twice, Zhou Yi's deepest impression on Steve Nash is his resilience. In terms of absolute speed, Zhou Yi may be a little inferior to himself at his peak, but in these two head-on battles, the performance of the two can only be considered equal. At critical moments, he can always get rid of the desperate situation.

Zhou Yi just passed halftime, and Steve Nash did not give him any room to buffer, so he pressed him directly. Once Zhou Yi was fully activated, even Steve Nash in his heyday might not be sure to stop him, let alone Steve Nash is now at the end of his strength.

Elvin Gentry could no longer sit still at this time and walked around anxiously on the sidelines. Especially when he saw Zhou Yi's expression, he even shouted to defend.

The Suns had already moved into regional joint defense at this time. The Pistons were different from other teams. The five players on the court all had good scoring abilities, and no one could be neglected.

Let the sweat on his forehead drip to the ground along the tip of his nose, Steve Nash did not dare to reach out to wipe it. At this time, Steve Nash seemed to have completely entered the defensive state, and the noise of Auburn Mountain Palace Stadium could not enter his ears at all.

Zhou Yi showed a speed of lightning, and appeared in Steve Nash in the blink of an eye. At this time, in the arena and all the fans in front of the TV knew that the most valuable goal in the game appeared. With less than a minute left in the game, this duel will directly affect the final result of the game. The Suns have no choice but to retreat. Once this goal cannot be defended, there is only theoretical possibility to win the game.

Seeing that the two bodies were about to collide, Zhou Yi's movements seemed to have not changed much. At the same time, the movements in his hands were also changing subtly. He took the bounced ball with his left hand and quickly hit Steve Nash's left side. The ball was very fast. Steve Nash's heart condensed, and his body's center of gravity slightly retreated, and Zhou Yi's movements kept changing.

The moment the ball was shot, Zhou Yi made an unexpected move, and his body quickly turned to 360 degrees on the spot, and a gentle song with his right hand appeared on the right side of Steve Nash. Steve Nash, who realized his mistake, was ready to make up for defense at the first time, but in a quiet moment, Andre Iguodala had already pulled to the outside line quickly and made a simple barrier with Zhou Yi.

Just as Zhou Yiqiu was about to take action within the three-point line, Grant Hill had already rushed out quickly. When Andre Iguodala pulled to the outside line, he had already estimated his intention and followed him quickly, finally blocking Zhou Yi in time.

Zhou Yi is not the kind of player who likes to do so. After his shooting move was cut off by Grant Hill, the ball hit the floor to Grant Hill's right and quickly bounced to Samuel Durhamport in the inside. At this time, Grant Hill had already defended himself, and Andre Iguodala was naturally empty.
