One Guard

Chapter 364: Shot, turn around

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "Oh! No!" When Yiyang assisted Carter and hit a three-pointer, countless Thunder fans in the stands hugged in pain. Lived in his own head. Obviously the situation has been firmly controlled, obviously victory is close at hand. But who would have thought that Carter, who was already "harmless to humans and animals", would actually play Mr. Key at a critical moment.

"People always ignore Carter's ability outside the three-point line. In fact, Carter is definitely a player with a big heart. The pass just now is very calm, and Carter's shot is even more cold-blooded. Two points difference, 38 seconds Time has passed, the game is getting more and more interesting, this may be the most exciting game since the start of the new season!"

Although the Mavericks scored a three-pointer, the Thunder still held the initiative. At the last moment, even a lead of just 1 point can bring a huge advantage.

99 to 101, even Carlisle, who was standing on the sidelines, had his heart pounding. If the Mavericks lose again in this game, they will usher in a bad start to their three-game losing streak. No matter in terms of record or player confidence, they cannot afford to lose this game. Be sure to withstand the pressure, boys!

Westbrook planned to break through Yiyang directly, but found that Yiyang was sticking to him like super glue on his hands. In order not to delay the battle, Westbrook still handed the ball to Durant in desperation. As for himself, he continued to run, looking for scoring opportunities.

What makes Westbrook desperate is that no matter who he borrows off the ball in the pick-and-roll, no matter how unexpected his back run is. But Yiyang can always be like a ghost, haunting him all the time.

After running for a long time, Westbrook even waved his arm angrily. The guy's emotions had been completely disturbed by Yiyang's crazy entanglement.

Seeing this situation, Durant felt that it was better not to hand the ball to Westbrook. Even if he catches the ball, in his current state of impatience, it will be difficult for him to make the ball.

So the tall and long-armed Durant took the ball and made a few three-threat steps. He wanted to single Carter!

Carter's defense isn't bad, but it's not top-notch either. Even in his prime, Carter's defense was never impressive, except that he couldn't make a mistake.

After the knee was ruined, Carter relied more on experience and body on the defensive end, because his lateral speed was very slow.

It was with this point that Durant suddenly took a big step with his long legs. Carter knew in his mind that he had to block the opponent quickly, but his legs didn't listen!

"Damn it!" Carter cursed and turned around immediately. At this time, Durant has passed by him.

"KD's steps are so big that ordinary people can't keep up with him. With just one step, Durant passed the old Carter. Will he kill the game!?"

As soon as O'Neal's voice fell, Durant immediately stopped and shot a jumper. However, Durant was about to throw the ball after he took off, when Yiyang suddenly jumped out and got in between Durant and the basket!

"When!?" Durant stared in surprise at Yiyang who rushed towards him. Just now, Yiyang was still clinging to Westbrook. Why did it suddenly appear in front of me now?

In fact, after seeing Carter being breached, Yiyang decisively left Westbrook behind to defend. Yiyang is not only excellent in single-defense ability, but also has top-notch cooperation awareness.

It was too late for Durant to look for Westbrook, so he had to face Yiyang's interference and increase the arc of his shot.

The basketball flew to the hoop, and everyone's hearts were in their throats. Due to Yiyang's timely interference, Durant's basketball hit the basket's neck and missed!

"Not in! Durant missed the shot, and the Thunder got a chance to kill the game!"

Just as Barkley was yelling excitedly, the Congolese Ibaka leaped high and grabbed the rebound firmly before Haywood and Nowitzki!

"Serge,

He grabbed the offensive rebound! The Mavericks must miss Tyson very much now. Without him, the Mavericks have long lost their dominance at the basket! "

Ibaka grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately took off for the second time to dunk directly. Haywood had no choice but to foul early.

Under Haywood's shoving, Ibaka's dunk hit the rim. Fortunately, Heywood hit hard enough. If he just pulled lightly, maybe Ibaka could successfully dunk the ball in and get a chance to hit a three-pointer.

"Brandon Haywood made a defensive foul, and Ibaka will stand on the free throw line! Although Kevin's shot and Serge's dunk missed, the situation is still very dangerous for the Mavericks!"

After Ibaka was violated, everyone in the Thunder came forward to high-five the Congolese one by one. This offensive rebound is priceless!

Ibaka has a surprisingly soft touch despite his physical strength. The guy hits half-stops from time to time and shot a decent 75 percent from the free-throw line last season. Therefore, the Thunder team is very confident that Ibaka will definitely be able to make both free throws steadily and completely end this damn game!

However, not everyone can withstand the high pressure at critical moments. Although the Thunder still lead by two points, Ibaka's mind is full of what to do if he misses a free throw.

So, Ibaka's first free throw really deviated from the basket.

"Oh, Serge actually missed the first free throw! From this point of view, Brandon Heywood's foul is very worthwhile." O'Neill shook his head, not all young people can be like Yiyang and Du Rand was as unflappable as he was in danger.

Before the second free throw, Ibaka shot the basketball many times, hoping to find the ball. In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, there was no sound at all. The fans were afraid that any sound would interfere with Ibaka's free throw rhythm.

Taking a deep breath, Ibaka sinks his shoulders, bends his knees, lifts the basketball over his head, and releases the shot. At the moment of the shot, Ibaka yelled "rebound!"

He was too nervous, shooting skater!

Dirk Nowitzki and Haywood made a block, completely covering the penalty area. The basketball fell against the front of the rim, and Haywood hit Perkins with his big butt, and then jumped up high to securely protect the defensive rebound, which was considered a redemption.

Meanwhile, Carlisle hastily used up his last timeout. There are 22 seconds left in the game, the last timeout and the last attack will determine the final outcome of this game!

"It's such a pity that Ibaka missed two free throws. It seems that today, even God is on the side of the Mavericks." Although he said so, there was no "pity" expression on Barkley's face. Ibaka missed two free throws, and this guy was very happy. In this way, the Mavericks have a chance to tie the score and even kill the game!

"Our primary goal is to equalize the score and try our best to drag the game into overtime! But if there is no chance, it is not impossible to try to shoot from outside the three-point line." Off the court, Carlisle is nervously arranging the tactics of the final attack.

From Carlisle's words, Yiyang made two points clear. First, the primary goal of the head coach is to equalize the score more safely, at least not to let the team lose. Second, three-point shooting is not a bad idea!

"Jeter, you replace Sean. At the critical moment, I need you and Carter to cross positions and involve the opponent's defense. Dirk, Brandon, do a double-screen pick-and-roll for him to open up the basket space and create a breakthrough Opportunity. Listen guys, we have fought to the last moment, we must not give up! Beat them, let those guys who look down on us taste the taste of failure!" Carlisle said, pointing to the bench behind him and yelling Thunder players.

"1, 2, 3!" Nowitzki stood up and shouted, and put his hand in the crowd.

"calf!"

Just when everyone on the Mavericks team, including Delonte West's "crazy" was cheering with everyone. Lamar Odom sat silently by himself, as if everything that happened now had nothing to do with him. He knew that he and the Dallas Mavericks had completely broken.

The game restarted, and the tense atmosphere had reached its highest point. Barkley and O'Neill are guessing whether Carlisle will hand over to Yiyang or Dirk for the final attack. And this is also a problem that plagues the Thunder.

Yiyang took the ball across the half court unhurriedly, and then dribbled the ball at the Thunder team's logo to delay time. It seems that whether the attack is successful or not, the Mavericks will not leave any time for the Thunder.

When the number of the timer on the backboard changed to "10", Yiyang just started. At the same time, Nowitzki and Haywood brought up two insiders one after another, double screen!

At this moment, Carter and Terry skillfully crossed their positions and tore up the defense. It seemed that everyone on the Mavericks field had the possibility of a shot.

Seeing this scene, Barkley couldn't help feeling that Carlisle was indeed a master of tactics. But at critical moments, tactics are secondary. The most important thing is the player's final blow!

Seeing that the pick-and-roll was in place, Yiyang suddenly picked up his speed and broke through to Nowitzki's side. At this time, the inside line has been completely emptied. According to Carlisle's intention, Yiyang will go straight to the basket and prepare to break through for a layup to tie the score!

However, just when Yiyang stepped into the three-point line, Kevin Durant came to defend him! Yiyang wanted to pass the ball to Carter, but found that Westbrook, who was delayed by Nowitzki, did not come to chase him, but made up for Carter, blocking the pass route.

"The Thunder's defense is perfect! If they insist on breaking through, they will fall into Durant's trap!"

Yiyang also knows that it is not easy to hit a layup under Durant's huge defensive range. At this time, I don't have any passing route.

Then, we have to implement plan B!

Yiyang leaned against Durant and took a step in. Just when Durant was about to retreat with all his strength, Yiyang suddenly changed direction, as if he was about to break through to the other side!

Durant immediately changed his center of gravity, but Yiyang did not accelerate forward after changing direction, but took a step back and jumped back outside the three-point line.

"Not good!" Durant rushed forward immediately, but he had been tricked by Yiyang into changing his focus continuously, so he didn't have time to react so quickly.

After Yiyang took a step back, he directly shot a three-pointer. Durant stretched out his long arms to cover him, and it seemed that Yiyang was disturbed.

But in fact, Yiyang's mind is as calm as water. When Durant blocked it, when the time on the rebound timer was running out, Yiyang's heart rate might not have exceeded 90 beats per minute!

Watching Yiyang retreat smoothly, Brickley, who was watching live TV at home, raised his arms ahead of time. After the shot was made, Yiyang turned around and walked towards the Mavericks' bench.

In the next second, the basketball fell rapidly and hit the bullseye! At the same time, the red light on the backboard lights up, and the game is over!

"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! Also, he killed the game in the most incredible way!" After that, people could only hear Charles Barkley's hoarse roar.
