Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 549 Drag into Overtime
Seeing that the victory at hand was about to slip away, no one in the Blazers team was reconciled. When Adelman called a timeout, all the Blazers players sat on the court without saying a word, but the focus in everyone's eyes , are telling others that they have not given up.

Seeing this scene, Adelman felt relieved in his heart, because it is not terrible to be tied. The most terrible thing is that the players lose their fighting spirit. In that case, even if they lead by [-] points, they will lose the game.

Adelman, who was going to make a long speech to wake up the players, also threw away all the rhetoric he had prepared, and changed his rhetoric instead.

"We have been able to get to this point, which has exceeded many people's expectations, but I don't think this is our end. There are still more than two minutes before the end of the game. We have every chance to make history. Bring the series to Golden State! Whether this can be done requires the joint efforts of everyone, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" For Adelman's question, everyone said in unison.

Yes, if we can get to this point, no one will easily admit defeat, time is running out, as long as we grit our teeth and persevere to the end, victory may not be ours?
It is with this belief that the Trail Blazers players stepped back on the court, and this time, they felt that the sense of fatigue had disappeared, and the only thing left in front of them was to work hard to win.

The game restarted, and it was the Blazers' turn to attack.

After Porter dribbled to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Drexler again.

As the core of the team, this special attack must be completed by Drexler, and Porter knows this very well.

Drexler got the ball, adjusted his breathing, and hit Richmond again.

Drexler, who studied Dr. J since he was a child, failed to learn the essence of Dr. J due to physical and technical limitations, but because of this, his playing style can be described as elegant.

Take this ball for example. After a simple test, Drexler turned around in an instant and perfectly left Richmond behind. Unlike most people who chose to shoot tonight, Drexler at this time Le knew he couldn't feel good, so he went inside, trying to get closer to the basket.

Seeing that Drexler had gotten rid of Richmond, Rodman quickly defended and tried to intercept Drexler, but at this time, the "glider" had already taken off.

Drexler jumped high and glided in the air to the basket, and Rodman, who jumped up to stop Drexler, was gliding with him.

It wasn't until Drexler smashed the ball into the basket, the referee blew the whistle, and the penalty was two plus one. The home fans woke up like a dream and cheered for Drexler loudly. handsome!
Relying on Drexler's shocking dunk and the additional free throw, the Blazers suddenly accumulated a 3-point lead. At the same time, the morale of the Blazers returned to the peak.

Just when the Blazers teammates were full of confidence and ready to fight the Warriors, Li Weisi had already rushed into the Blazers' defense with the ball.

The Blazers' inside line was very crowded, and Li Weisi, who was the shortest, seemed to end up being blocked if he made a move at this time.

And at this moment, Li Weisi seemed to have dribbled the ball and was about to get out of the inside line. Just when everyone thought so, Li Weisi suddenly turned back, leaving everyone on the outside line, and the inside line was now empty.

Naturally, Li Weisi would not miss such an opportunity. He simply picked the basket and scored the ball.

Obviously, Drexler's dunk did not scare Li Weisi, and he was at his best at this time. If the Blazers want to win, they must pass him first.

Therefore, in the next game, the two teams kept playing magic balls, but the point difference was never widened. In this way, time was running out before they knew it.

With 4.3 seconds left in the game, Kersey scored two free throws due to a foul by Lewis and made both free throws to give the Blazers a three-point lead with 109:106.

In this regard, the Warriors quickly called a timeout and arranged for the last chance to attack.

At this time, for the Warriors, it has reached the last moment, and they must shoot a three-pointer. At this time, it is meaningless to make two quick points.

And, to make matters worse, the Blazers thought with their heels and knew that the ball must be given to Li Weisi.

Back from the timeout, Rodman served from the sideline, and Li Weisi's side, Porter and Kersey, had already geared up and followed Li Weisi closely to prevent him from receiving the ball.

Because Kersey ran to defend Li Weisi, Rodman, who was serving, had no Blazers in front of him to stop him.

Obviously, the Blazers' intention is to prevent Li Weisi from receiving the ball, and I will admit that others can shoot the lore.

Seeing this situation, Rodman looked around and found that although Lewis and Richmond were also being defended, they were relatively weak and easier to catch the ball.

But how could Rodman allow the Blazers' plan to succeed, especially at this moment when he and Li Weisi looked at each other, just looking at him one more time in the crowd, Rodman understood the meaning contained in Li Weisi's eyes The idea, that is, this ball, give me!

And this also strengthened Rodman's confidence, he decided to take a slanted sword and fight for a big one.

At this time, because Kersey had his back facing Rodman in order to defend against Li Weisi, Rodman's serve directly hit Kersey's back.

Corsi, who was attacked, turned his head immediately, only to see that Rodman had jumped into the court and got the basketball.

And just at this moment of distraction, Li Weisi suddenly jumped out, and with the help of Rodman's body, not only received a hand-to-hand pass from Rodman, but Rodman also blocked Kersey and Porter at the same time. In front of him, Li Weisi created a fleeting shooting space.

For Rodman's hard work to create an offensive opportunity, Li Weisi certainly would not let him down. After getting the ball, Li Weisi shot immediately, and completed the shot just before Porter arrived.

At this moment, the air in the entire arena was almost suffocating, and everyone was staring at the basketball, watching him slowly fly towards the basket.

"Don't go in! Don't go in!" This voice is the true thought of almost every Trail Blazers fan. Some timid fans don't even dare to watch the ball, but after closing their eyes, out of curiosity, their eyes reveal A crack, it can be seen how entangled the heart is.

Unfortunately, the final result backfired. The basketball went straight into the basket and Li Weisi hit a three-pointer.

Since time ran out as early as the basketball was flying, Li Weisi dragged the game into overtime as the ball hit.
