Defending champion

Chapter 59
(Sorry! I made a mistake in uploading yesterday! It’s gone to Manuxiang!)

In the United Arena of the New Orleans Hornets, at this time, it was as silent as a forest.Only occasionally a few fans can be heard coughing.

The fans in the first three rows could vaguely hear the roars of the head coaches of both sides when they arranged tactics.

The fans stood up involuntarily, their faces were full of anxiety and solemnity... The fans' breathing was much faster than usual.Even Kenny and Jazz, the very excited commentators just now, became very sensible and silent.

With the last 45 seconds left in the game, the worst part is that the Rockets are now leading by 3 points.Moreover, the ball is still in the hands of the Rockets.This situation is very bad for the Hornets.

However, it is difficult to say the result of the game.Because this is the arena of the NBA, this is where miracles are born.

As soon as the Hornets players returned to the bench, the head coach Byron Scott immediately took the tactical board to arrange tactics, walked over, and shouted at the Hornets players: "We will also defend this time. Put the Rockets offense down or we're doomed. Wait a minute, Michael Jack, you should..."

beep!
Byron Scott's tactics had just finished, and the 20-second short timeout was over.

"Defend against this wave of attacks, kill the Houstonians, and protect the home victory!" Jack roared first!
"Defend against this wave of offense, kill the Houstonians, and protect the home victory!" All the players roared into a ball, and walked onto the court with a murderous look.

Looking at the murderous Hornets, Hornets coach Byron Scott nodded thoughtfully.I thought: It depends on you whether you can win or not.

The Rockets replaced a lot of good offensive players. In addition to the two big offensive players Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, they also replaced Battier with the ability to shoot open three-pointers.The purpose of the Rockets' pause and adjustment this time is very clear-to score this offense and clean up the Hornets.

Players from both sides returned to the field.With the last 45 seconds left in the game, the Hornets were still 3 points behind and the ball was still in the hands of the Rockets.It is really very difficult for the Hornets to reverse the game.

However, even so, the soldiers of the Hornets did not intend to give up.

Jack clung tightly to Maddy's side, waving his hands.And Alstom, who was holding the ball, also couldn't have the energy to watch the situation of the audience under Chris Paul's crazy defense. He focused on dribbling to avoid Chris Paul's non-stop balls.

The players on both sides were in constant contact with each other, violent collisions, sweat and sweat.The Hornets want to use their own flesh and blood to prevent the Hornets from attacking this time.

The game turned into a body-on-body duel.

Yao Ming, who was on the inside, realized that the Rockets' outside line was in trouble. According to Dafan's tactics, Yao Ming immediately came out from the inside to respond.

Seeing Yao Ming coming to pick and roll, Alston was overjoyed, accelerated with all his strength, and rushed in the direction where Yao Ming came to pick and roll.Alston and Yao Ming cut past Yao Ming shoulder to shoulder, without giving Paul any room to snatch the pass.Paul bumped into Yao Ming's body. Paul was rebounded heavily by Yao Ming's strong body and fell to the ground.

Alston relied on Yao Ming's pick-and-roll to get rid of Chris Paul's defense. Alston broke through to the free throw line and was unguarded.Worse for the Hornets is that this is Alston's shot.

Jack realized something was wrong at this moment, and he made the most correct defensive decision in this game.

Jack withdrew from outside the three-point line, missed the Rockets' most terrifying scorer McGrady, and went to defend Alstom.

Alston made a mid-range emergency stop jumper. Alston's shot rhythm was very well controlled, and the height of the jump was just right.Alston is also very confident in his shot this time.As soon as the ball was shot, a very large arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Alston shouted loudly: "It's all over! This match is up to me..."

Alston's words are not finished yet.At this time, a ghostly figure came out from Alston's side.That was the figure of Jack...

Jack's legs stopped suddenly, and after stabilizing his center of gravity, he jumped up high and rushed towards the basketball thrown by Alston desperately.

"Don't even think about it! Are you 1 years too early?" Jack growled loudly at Alston with a tyrannical face.Then he threw Alston's basketball in the air, and with his big fan covering the sky, fanned the ball to Paul in the backcourt.

Van Gundy on the sidelines was also very satisfied at the beginning. Alstom was able to adapt in time and such a good shooting opportunity appeared.However, when he saw Jack who was helping to defend, he was stunned for a while, and his face sank all of a sudden. "Ah! When did he appear here, who can tell me!..." He couldn't figure it out.

After landing, Jack didn't hesitate at all, and used his speed when he was running a hundred times, desperately chasing the ball.The ball is not out of bounds yet.

Paul and McGrady were chasing the ball together with Jack. McGrady was one position ahead of Paul because of the long feet of McGrady.At this point, basketball is within reach.

At this moment, Paul yelled: "Fight!" Paul took a step ahead of McGrady, and flew towards the basketball, like a tiger on a rabbit.

Paul took the lead and grabbed the basketball before McGrady.

Jack sees that Paul has the ball first, and immediately changes the course of his run.He knew that as long as he ran to the basket, Paul would definitely pass the ball.Paul, who was lying on the ground, exerted the last bit of strength in his body, smashed the ball towards the ground, and bounced back to Jack.

The audience's eyes widened at that moment, and everyone held their breath without exception!

"Pomp" This is Jack's fourth dunk in the fourth quarter.The Hornets are still 1 point behind, with 27 seconds left, the Rockets have the ball.

"Yeah..." All the fans shouted like crazy, and kept waving their arms.

At this time, the Rockets have no timeout.

The Rockets immediately attacked.This time they played relatively conservatively. The 24-second attack time was consumed by them for 20 seconds before they started to attack.

The Rockets want to consume 24 seconds of attack time.

McGrady made a strong three-pointer when the attack was approaching in 24 seconds, but this time he was not creating miracles.

"Three non-sticks!"

Jack under the basket took the rebound.

Jack quickly requested a timeout, with 3 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Hornets were still 1 point behind.

…………

At the same time, Kenny was in the commentary who could criticize Dafan's tactical arrangement at this critical moment just now.

"I think Dafan must have had shit in his head. Look at what tactics he has arranged for the players in this round? He can definitely use 24 seconds to score one. I don't know. Know when Van Gundy became so conservative." Kenneth Smith took the lead in firing.

"Man, who do you think Byron will give the last shot to? How will Byron arrange the last shot? Is Jack who was feeling hot just now or their core guard Chris Paul?" The Sir did not answer Kenny's question, but threw the topic to Kenneth Smith.

"Well, I guess this one should be Paul! Paul has a relatively wide shooting range. He has the ability to shoot three-pointers. There are three seconds left, so he can only arrange one three-pointer." Kenny expressed his opinion.

Jazz did not refute Kenny's opinion this time either.It is indeed the best choice for the Hornets to give the ball to Paul at the last moment.

……

While Kenny and Jazz are talking.

"beep"

The whistle sounded to continue the game.

The players of the Hornets quickly huddled together, posing in a single word, standing near the free throw line.

One by one from the inside to the outside, Paul relied on Jack's two off-ball screens and received a pass from JR Smith.Byron seemed to be putting the final shot in Paul's hands.

After Paul received the ball, he didn't hesitate at all. He made a quick start and made a three-pointer like a horseback archery.

At this time, there are still 2 seconds left on the display board on the court.

The arc of the ball Paul threw was very high. After running for a few tenths of a second, the basketball finally rolled to the basket.

The sound of "bang", the sound of heavy hammering, shattered the Hornets' last hope of winning.

Paul did not stage a lore magic.

The substitute on the Hornets' bench unknowingly dropped the towel in his hand, and they didn't realize it either.

This world suddenly became extremely cold to them.

Some fans at the scene turned their heads away, not daring to see the scene in front of them with their own eyes.Some fanatical fans even hid their faces in pain...

At this moment, two seconds has become extremely long, the whistle has not yet sounded, and the game is not over yet.Jack used his actual actions to tell the fans present that as long as the game is not over, anything is possible.

Jack, who was outside the three-point line, rushed to the penalty area with lightning speed, roared, and jumped high, about to be bounced high into the air by the basketball.Going into the basket, he slammed down frantically.

"Bang bang!"

"beep"

The groan of the basket and the end of the game whistle sounded at the same time.

Jack smashed the rocket and sealed his throat with a sword!
