NBA: Miller moment at the start

On the Lakers bench, Walton Jr. scratched his head and couldn't make a decision.

If they defend,

Curry can be handed over to Caruso for defense,

Klay can be handed over to Pope,

They have no height disadvantage, and Wang Ba can help with defense, but Durant is a bit unsolvable,

Only D'Antoni can understand Walton Jr.'s pain,

In the Western Conference Finals last season, the Rockets lost to Durant,

Durant has a height advantage, whether it is the backcourt duo, or Tucker and Ariza on the front line, Durant only needs a simple back-to-back, a large turnaround and a fadeaway jump shot, and he can easily hit it;

Bamot's footsteps are not as fast as Durant, and Capela in the mid-range There is no connection. To sum up, it can be said that:

Those who are shorter than Durant are at a disadvantage in height. Those who are taller than Durant are not as fast as him. Those who are faster than Durant are not as accurate as him.

The only ones who are more accurate than Durant are his teammates.

The Lakers also have no one who can defend Durant. In the final period of the Warriors, it is very likely that the Splash Brothers will open up and give the ball to Durant.

If you want to defend for one round, someone must be able to defend Durant, and it must be a single defense.

If you double-team, someone is bound to be missed.

The Warriors have players on the court.

The Splash Brothers cannot be missed. Iguodala and Looney have experienced big battles. If they dare to leave others open, they dare to shoot. If they dare to shoot, they dare to score.

Who can defend Durant alone?

Wang Ba stood up:

"Coach, let me defend Durant."

His teammates looked at him in surprise. The only one in the league who can defend Durant alone is Xiaoka. It depends on whether Durant is in good condition.

Wang Ba?

Durant had played him several times in the past, back-to-back or direct pull-up, which was impossible to defend. Where did he get the confidence?

The system gave it to him!

"Coach."

"We only have two choices now, foul or defend."

"Fouling and giving free throws is equivalent to giving away points. The Warriors have a high probability of making both free throws. If they succeed in grabbing 3 points, they will still be 1 point behind. If they continue to foul and grab 3 points, it will be a tie."

"Everyone's physical energy is exhausted, and there is little chance of winning in overtime."

"Since no one can limit Durant, it doesn't matter who defends. Let me try. I found some experience in the process of playing against Durant, which may be useful."

He has a 3-point experience card, and the tactic of fouling to grab 3 points can be fully implemented, which will eventually produce two results.

The Warriors missed 1 of 4 free throws, and he won the game.

The Warriors made all 4 free throws, and the two sides tied and entered overtime.

He no longer had the energy to play overtime. Instead of betting that the Warriors would miss the free throws, it was better to bet that the Lakers could defend the last round.

Besides,

The Warriors were more likely to score 2 points. Even if they failed to defend, they were still 4 points behind and could still grab 3 points. It was just that time was a bit tight.

Walton thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.

"Then you defend. If you really can't defend, you can foul in advance, but be careful not to give the 2+1 opportunity."

Wang Ba nodded:

"Understood!"

After the timeout, the players from both sides came on the court. There was silence.

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle to signal the start of the game.

The Lakers did not press, and Curry dribbled smoothly to the frontcourt. Caruso kept a distance of 1 step from him, allowing him to break through but not shoot.

Curry was not in a hurry. He dribbled the ball to kill time and did not plan to play immediately.

There were 10 seconds left in the offensive time. Ingram moved towards him and Curry passed the ball to Durant.

The moment Durant received the ball, Wang Ba was already in position.

He turned and stepped forward, facing the basket, and used his steps to force Wang Ba to distance himself from him, and then he made a simple and rough pull-up shot.

A height of 208 cm versus a height of 191 cm, with a 17-centimeter advantage, did not require any extra movements.

However,

As soon as he lifted the ball, Wang Ba suddenly jumped up and slapped the ball.

Durant was shocked.

With his experience, he judged that the ball was going to be blocked, and he immediately leaned back to avoid it.

Bo!

A crisp sound rang out.

Although Wang Ba touched it, Durant's shooting power was very strong, and the basketball still flew to the basket.

Bang!

The basketball hit the edge of the outer frame, making a muffled sound.

Just as the fans were about to scream, Durant landed and rushed behind Wang Ba.

"It's over!"

"The ball bounced back!"

The fans were in despair.

The basketball bounced back by chance and was caught by Durant.

Little Walton shouted on the sidelines:

"Foul!"

"Foul!"

Wang Ba was the closest to Durant. He stuck to him, and McGee and Ingram also surrounded him at the same time.

Durant had three choices:

Pass the ball.

NBA has a rule that in the last two minutes, if a foul is committed against a player without the ball, two free throws and one throw are required.

He passed the ball to an open player.The Lakers dare not foul Iguodala or Looney, which can waste a lot of time.

The risk is that if Looney and Iguodala miss one free throw, the Lakers have a chance to tie the game.

Stay where you are and wait for the foul free throw.

The advantage is that he is confident that he can make both free throws. The risk is that the Lakers have too much time, and they can grab 3 points and then foul.

Dribbling wastes time.

You can use up all the time. The risk is that you may be double-teamed and make mistakes.

At the critical moment, Durant still chose to believe in himself.

He turned his back and dribbled the ball to the baseline. McGee and Ingram failed to touch him, and Wang Ba stuck to him but did not foul.

Little Walton was so anxious that he jumped up and down:

"Foul!"

"Foul!"

"Fuck!"

The fans also shouted anxiously:

"Foul!"

"Foul!"

"What is Wang doing!"

They couldn't understand why Wang Ba didn't foul, and Barkley was also confused:

"Why not foul?"

O'Neal shook his head:

"The Lakers have no chance of winning in overtime, so we might as well take a gamble."

Barkley was even more confused:

"Gamble? What to bet on?"

O'Neal said mysteriously:

"Betting on Durant's mistakes..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Durant's body suddenly tilted out of bounds, and he was about to go out of bounds. He pushed the ground with one leg and turned around to pass the ball.

He just turned around to equip the ball, and suddenly his hands were empty. He jumped up by inertia and made a passing motion, but there was no ball.

Roar! !

There was a huge cheer at the scene,

"Steal!"

"Wang Ba completed the steal!"

"Too awesome!!"

"Durant's acting is good, the pass without a physical object is performed."

"Not to mention his action is quite serious."

"I just want to say that Durant is so miserable."

Beep beep beep!

Wang Ba grabbed the ball and called a timeout immediately. They needed to arrange tactics.

Durant looked grim and looked at the score,

136:134.

There were 1.9 seconds left in the game, 2 points behind, the Lakers had the ball, and theoretically there was still a chance.

O'Neal and Barkley both stood up and waved their fists and shouted:

"Steal! It's really a steal!!"

"It's unbelievable that Wang Ba completed the steal at the last moment... Just now you said Durant was going to make a mistake, how did you see it?"

"Please look at the big screen."

The big screen was replaying the ball just now,
