After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 50 The lore becomes the absolute tie, overtime...

"The Magic are only one point behind!"

At this time, whether it was the Suns players or the fans, they couldn't help but get a little nervous. After all, they led the whole game, with a maximum lead of almost [-] points, and it turned out that this happened when the game was about to end.

Of course, the Magic had been close to the score before, and it was also when Li Chengming was on the court. It was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs, and the Magic also couldn't stand it.

"The next defense is very important. If the Magic can defend this goal, they hope to overtake the score!"

There are less than 2 minutes left in the game, and every offense and defense is very important to the two teams, which may directly determine the final result of the game.

Of course, the Suns also knew this truth, but it is not the Suns' style to press the rhythm at this time, so after the serve, Nash quickly evaded Bogans' press and went straight to the basket, causing Li Chengming's foul.

When Li Chengming faced Nash's dislocation attack, he naturally showed his immature side. He recklessly wanted to block the shot and was tricked into getting up, but instead lost a foul.

Fortunately, he has only fouled three times now, and the cumulative number of fouls in this quarter has not yet been reached.

Of course, it was a shooting foul this time, so Nash went to the free throw line and executed two free throws.

Another three-point difference, the last minute and 42 seconds.

Turkoglu also wanted to pass the ball to Li Chengming, but Marion broke it out of bounds with his long arm.

After serving in the frontcourt, Arroyo caught the ball and lobbed it to Howard in the penalty area. Howard was sent to the free throw line again. Stoudemire had fouled five times, but D'Antoni did not replace him.

As a result, Howard missed two free throws. Ariza suddenly jumped up and pointed the ball out. Li Chengming and Barbosa got entangled. The ball was kicked out of bounds. scrimmage.

Li Chengming played for a long time today, but he still gritted his teeth and won another offensive opportunity for the team.

Then a pick-and-roll Li Chengming received a return pass in the paint again, and he made a shot with a roar.

At one minute and 10 seconds, Barbosa received a pass from Nash and made a jumper.

At 58 seconds, Li Chengming received a pass again after the pick-and-roll and missed a jumper. The rebound was caught by the Suns. Nash pushed forward quickly and wanted to play a fast attack. All members of the Magic team ran fast.

Hill received the ball from the flank and flicked, Turkoglu flew directly, Hill took advantage of the opportunity to kill the basket, rushed out Ariza, the blocker, he immediately gave it to Marion on the other side, Marion took the ball with a dribble and made a layup .

Howard suddenly shot out from a diagonal stab, and a pegboard cap behind his back directly pocketed the ball.

At this time, Li Chengming, who had just run halfway through, immediately turned around when he saw this, and shouted at the same time.

Howard looked back and immediately threw the ball over.

Li Chengming just passed the three-point line when he received the ball, but there was an extra person in front of him. Barbosa's speed was unbelievable.

But Li Chengming's heart suddenly moved at this time, and instead of advancing, he retreated, withdrew from outside the three-point line, shot directly before Barbosa could react, and then rushed to the basket immediately.

"Li Chengming - shot directly from outside the three-point line - yes! It's Li Chengming who stood up again. He made this three-pointer very decisively. This choice actually has a certain reason. You see, there is only one left in the basket at this time. Chin Bosa is alone, and he must also come up to defend. Li Chengming still has time to grab rebounds with him after shooting.

"I think this is a kind of psychological game of Li Chengming. Of course, he made this goal, which also showed his strong self-confidence."

In fact, even Li Chengming himself didn't expect it. He did exactly what Director Sun speculated. He thought that if he couldn't make a shot, he could still grab rebounds. If he couldn't grab a rebound, his teammates would still be behind, so he wouldn't be beaten fast. fight back.

But since it is in, it is of course the right choice.

The two teams drew again. After 42 seconds, D'Antoni thought about it and still didn't call a timeout. After all, it was just a tie. He believed in the players, most importantly Nash.

But this time Nash didn't seem to work either. He found a chance to pass to Stoudemire. Stoudemire dribbled the ball down but was double-teamed by Li Chengming and Ariza. Ariza succeeded in cutting the ball and Li Chengming went down instantly.

Barbosa and Hill returned to the defense quickly, playing two-for-two in the frontcourt. Arroyo was unlucky and passed Barbosa and passed to Li Chengming. Li Chengming faced Hill and made a gesture to make a shot. Thinking that he was going to shoot, he was shaken for a while, but Li Chengming took the opportunity to go to the basket.

"Li Chengming took off and dunked the dunk! Hey, his size is really worrying, and it doesn't feel safe to land..."

"But after this goal was scored, the Magic finally overtook the score, and now the pressure is on the Suns!"

The fans in the auditorium on all sides have all stood up. Although they have been looking forward to this scene for a long time, it is still very exciting to be at the scene when it really comes.

At this time, the camera was specially shown to Van Gundy, the head coach of the Magic team. He couldn't help patting his forehead on the sidelines, but then he laughed and shook his head again and again, which seemed incredible.

Director Zhang smiled when he saw it: "I think this game should make Coach Van Gundy realize that the team needs to give rookies like Li Chengming more opportunities, and he will definitely reward you handsomely."

Director Sun also nodded, and said, "It would have been difficult to achieve this without Li Chengming during this period of chasing points. He has given the Suns an additional point that cannot be resolved."

Even the defense that he was worried about, at this time, relying on his own judgment of the situation, instead of becoming a loophole, it had a miraculous effect.

At this time, there are still 30 seconds left in the game. Normally, it is a matter of two rounds, but now the Magic has overtaken by two points, and the Suns have to rearrange, so D'Antoni used the last timeout .

When Li Chengming left the field, while receiving the cheers from the fans on the sidelines, the shout of "LI" became louder, and his teammates also came forward to pat him on the head or bump his fists on the shoulders.

The NBA was almost dominated by blacks at the beginning. At that time, white players would even be discriminated against when they came in.

Now that the NBA has gradually become internationalized, players of other races are also increasing, but the "power" of blacks is still the largest.

However, there are many types of blacks, including those from middle-class families like Jordan and Duncan who have received a good education, and those from single-parent families in the slums like James, as well as those from Iverson, Anthony, and Garnett who are related to the community and gangs. related.

Naturally, many incisions were also brought in, and even became a kind of "culture".

It's like there are many tricks in fist bump. Although the meaning is not so important now, if you want to get along with others, you have to learn it if you don't know it.

Of course, Li Chengming also learned it. Using it at this time immediately made the teammates who came to celebrate also increase their sense of identity with him.

Van Gundy didn't have anything else to say except emphasizing his defense against Nash and Barbosa. The timeout passed quickly. After the two sides returned to the field, the Suns served directly in the frontcourt.

Unknowingly, Nash has almost scored 20 points. Today, the Suns are also lagging behind. Hill and Marion are in average condition. If it is not for Barbosa's explosion, they may not be able to play this game.

It was Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll again. This time, the Magic's attention was diverted by Nash. After Stoudemire got the ball, Ariza missed Barbosa. Stoudemire passed to Hill Hill without stopping the ball Barbosa from the outside line, the Brazilian hit another three-pointer, and once again led by one point.

The offense was completed quickly, leaving enough time for the Magic to attack.

But at this time, of course, the Suns have to resort to the "shark-cutting tactic", and when Howard walked to the free throw line, there was a bad feeling from the coach to the fans.

Even the two guides in the commentary booth of CCTV said, "If you lose this game, you will lose to this Howard's free throw."

From their standpoint, of course they hoped that Li Chengming's Magic team would win, and if they lost, they would definitely find someone to take the blame. Anyway, Li Chengming must not be the one to blame.

It has nothing to do with him being behind. He is the main force in chasing points. Now he finally got a chance to drag into overtime. As a result, Howard's free throw was ruined in vain. Even the head coach Van Gundy felt angry.

And Howard, who is always laughing and laughing, sometimes lagging behind and optimistic, has a serious face at this time.

The more serious and unstable the mentality, the more uncertain the shot. After making two free throws again, the Suns still had 16 seconds to attack, and Van Gundy also called the last timeout.

The timeout is mainly for defense. Now that the two teams are tied again, the Magic must firstly be careful not to foul easily, which is equivalent to giving away points for nothing, and secondly, if there is still time after the defense, they can directly try to make a shot.

It would be best if the battle could end within the normal time...

But obviously the Suns would not give them such an opportunity. At the critical moment, Barbosa actually ran out again. The key is that the ball was in the hands of Nash. He accurately grasped the fleeting moment, and Barbosa received the pass. After that, Ariza was too late, and Howard didn't dare to step forward to interfere for fear of fouling. As a result, Barbosa made the goal with only 6.2 seconds left.

But the problem is that there is no timeout for the Magic now. They have to serve from the backcourt. It is not easy to break through the Suns' pressing defense and transport to the frontcourt in more than 6 seconds, let alone score a goal.

Not to mention that the Suns might choose the disgusting person to foul again. Although it seems that fouling is not necessary for them to lead at this time, after all, there is no guarantee that Howard will not hit both free throws, right?

Turkoglu serves, Arroyo and Ariza are running wildly, while Li Chengming and Howard are covering for them while also looking for opportunities to catch the ball.

Seeing that it was almost five seconds, Turkoglu was also a little anxious. At this time, seeing Li Chengming suddenly throwing away and running forward, he froze for a moment and didn't want to immediately throw the ball forward vigorously.

The ball crossed an arc in the air, and the Suns quickly ran over there. Stoudemire even tried to jump up to intercept it in the air.

But the ball finally fell in front of Li Chengming. Barbosa chased the ball the fastest, and unexpectedly hit the ball one step ahead of Li Chengming.

Li Chengming used his longer wingspan to touch the ball first, and then slapped it hard on the ground, pushing Barbosa away at the same time, and finally controlled the ball in his hands.

Then Li Chengming suddenly flicked the ball back, his body nimbly slid to the side like a fish, just avoiding Barbosa's attack, the time was coming, he didn't even look at the frame, stepped into three The moment the line was split, the ball was thrown out with a roar.

It was an unconventional shot, but with Li Chengming's shooting speed, he managed to gain the ultimate time and made the shot before the whistle sounded.

Then everyone's eyes followed the flying ball, watching it draw a parabola and hit the opposite basket.
