Chapter 151 Key Free Throw
When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Li Weisi also caused Cheeks' foul. Since the number of free throws was up, he got two free throws.

Li Weisi naturally made two free throws, without any surprise, the score between the two sides returned to one point again.

It only took 7 seconds to attack Li Weisi. At this time, there are 42 seconds left before the end of the game. The Warriors must defend this goal.

It was the 76ers' turn to attack, and the ball was handed over to Barkley again.

Barkley was still dribbling the ball lazily. Rodman, who was facing him, had no intention of reaching out to steal it. Nonsense, the guy on the opposite side has a lower chassis than him, how can he reach it?

So, when Barkley faced Rodman's defense, he still had free time to touch his big breasts, uh, mainly to wipe the sweat from his hands, nothing else.

After wiping, seeing that the time was running out, Barkley stomped his waist, stepped on the ground with both feet, and rushed out.

Seeing this, Rodman quickly backed up to block Barkley's path, but Barkley rushed two steps, and immediately made a jumper with an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.

It's hard to imagine that such a fat man has a soft touch. Although the arc of the basketball is relatively flat, it still enters the net hollowly. He is really a fat man with comprehensive skills and flexibility.

After the goal, the Warriors did not call a timeout, and at the same time Malone quickly served the ball, Li Weisi only took three seconds to break through the half.

At this time, there are 11 seconds left before the end of the game, and the point difference is still 3 points away. It is necessary to shoot a three-pointer.

But what Li Weisi can think of, the 76ers have no way to dream. Along the way, Li Weisi is full of people in front of him, breaking free, shooting, absolutely not!

Li Weisi looked at Cheeks and Irving in front of him. Cheeks was in charge of pestering him, and Irving was in charge of blocking shots. At a critical moment, Li Weisi knew that he had no chance of scoring a goal when he shot at this time, and he couldn't even make a normal shooting posture. .

In desperation, Li Weisi could only give up the first shooting point, choose to break through, and look for opportunities.

Soon, Li Weisi found an opportunity. When he broke through Owen, his eyes suddenly became clear. Of course, it was impossible to shoot. The two behind him were in danger of being blocked at any time.

The reason why it was an opportunity was that Li Weisi saw Hornacek standing on the sideline. At this time, because Owen came to flank Li Weisi, Hornacek was left unattended.

In addition, Hornacek's shooting rate is quite good tonight, and he also made 5 of 3 three-pointers, so Li Wei thought he didn't want to directly hand the ball to Hornacek.

The ball was passed very comfortably, and it happened to be Hornacek's receiving point. Hornacek adjusted his breathing, kicked the ground, and lifted the ball. Everything was very smooth.

Just when he was about to make a shot, a huge body rushed in front of Hornacek at a fast speed. Barkley was this fat man again.

The basketball was slapped away by him and flew towards the auditorium like a cannonball.

"NO!" The Warriors players on the bench yelled in their hearts. Barkley's block undoubtedly ruined their normal efforts tonight.

"Didi..." But, at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded just in time.

"Foul, three-point foul!" When the referee's gesture was shown, the Warriors' bench shouted, very grateful for the referee's fair penalty.

It turned out that Barkley was too fast when he sprinted, so when he jumped up, he had physical contact with Hornacek before hitting the ball, and Hornacek was knocked into the air because of this. out of the field.

"NO! NO! That's not a foul, it's a risk! Damn it! Are you blind?" Barkley was of course dissatisfied with the referee's decision, and quickly complained to the referee, even losing control of his tone for a while.

"Charles, please pay attention to your attitude, or you will pay the price?" The referee avoided the saliva splashing from Barkley's mouth and warned Barkley.

"The price? What's the price? Give me a T? Okay, come on! Anyway, you're a black whistle, so just give it!" Barkley couldn't restrain his inner anger. Seeing that the game in hand was blown away like this, Who is not angry.

At the critical moment, Irving stood up, pulled Barkley away decisively, held him in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, Charles, they only made three free throws and it was just overtime. We haven't lost yet." , but if you get blown T, then we really lose, calm down!"

In the end, under Owen's best persuasion, Barkley calmed down and did not conflict with the referee. This also made Li Weisi, who was watching the play, sigh. Sure enough, T was not given so easily.

On the other hand, Hornacek became a major contributor to saving the Warriors. Malone excitedly hugged Hornacek from the sidelines back to the field and rubbed his hair vigorously.

After some celebrations, the chaotic stadium finally returned to silence, while the boos of the arena continued one after another. On the one hand, it was dissatisfaction with the referee, and on the other hand, it was also to increase interference for Hornacek's free throw, even if the penalty was not One goal and they'll both be victorious.

Standing on the free throw line, Hornacek couldn't hear the voices of other players on the court at all. The boos and flashing lights made him look like a blind and deaf man, and even his thinking became extremely slow.

Nervous, he never expected that a second-round first-year rookie like himself would decide the outcome of the Christmas game. You must know that he had already found a job in an accounting firm before and gave up fighting in the NBA.

There were more and more thoughts in his head, until the referee blew the whistle and passed the ball to him, then he quickly eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind, took two shots of the basketball, and looked towards the bright basket.

He bent his knees, raised the ball, and shot, but the moment he made the shot, he realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, his consciousness was correct, and the basketball hit the rim and flew directly behind the backboard.

"Not in! Yes!" Seeing that Hornacek missed the first free throw, the audience fell into a sea of ​​cheers, because they knew that not scoring the goal meant that the victory had already fallen into their own pockets.

"NO! Damn it!" In the box, seeing this scene, Frank was so angry that he beat his chest and yelled loudly. At this moment, he had no time to care about his image.

Originally, Barkley's block made him think the team had lost, but the referee called a foul, which made him feel hopeful again, but with Hornacek's first free throw, he fell back into the The trough, the ups and downs of life are really exciting.

"Calm down, take your time!" Ma Long saw Hornacek's nervousness, so he quickly reminded.

But at this time, Hornacek, who missed the first free throw, had fallen into deep self-blame, and couldn't listen to Malone's words at all. Then, he mechanically made the second free throw.

Still miss!

Hornacek's heart instantly fell into the bottomless abyss, and he felt that he was swallowed by endless darkness, so that he couldn't breathe.
