If it wasn't for his own future, Vujacic would definitely refuse to play, but now, he seems to have no choice, no matter how good he is, he is just a rookie, and a rookie has no right to refuse.

Look at the current lineup of the Lakers, the old center guy Divac, this buddy is probably already thinking about retiring early. He originally wanted to make a comeback when he returned to the Lakers, but after he really came back, he realized that there are talents in every generation It turns out that this old guy doesn't have much room to survive.

Power forward Medvedenko, the Ukrainian big man is nothing but high spirits and good mid-range shooting. Even if Vujacic has a good relationship with him, he will say the same. This Ukrainian sucks. Especially his poor rebounding and defense.

Small forward Walton, he has nothing to say, if he doesn't have a good father, who knows what kind of onion he is!

Point guard Derek Brown, this guy is even more unreliable than Atkins. On the court, he can only play the role of transport captain, which is to transport the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then hide in a basic Watch the big show in the corner where you can't catch the ball.

The Rockets lineup is also very loving, center Mutombo, power forward Taylor, small forward Padgett, shooting guard Gannis, point guard Tyronn Lue!
Obviously the game has entered garbage time!

The so-called garbage time is an original creation of the NBA. When the difference between the two sides of the game is so great that it is impossible for the lagging side to catch up with the score, the main players will be replaced at this time, and the two sides will use substitute players to finish the game. Call it garbage time.

In his previous life, Vujacic had never played in garbage time, but he never expected to have the opportunity to enjoy it now.

The score was thirteen points behind, with two minutes and 42 seconds left. In fact, it would be a bit early for Jackson to announce his surrender now. The Lakers did not have a chance to counterattack, but Kobe was exhausted and had cramps. Jackson was a little discouraged and simply announced his disarm.

But since they are all disarmed, why replace Vujacic?
Fight! ?

That's right!This is Jackson's true intention, which is to fight!Now that the game has been played like this, instead of letting the Rockets slowly grind the Lakers to death, it is better to show weakness, and then let Vujacic play to fight, maybe there will be a turnaround.

Didn't Van Gundy see it?

Of course not. After all, Van Gundy learned from the magic operator Riley. Of course, he can't see through Jackson's thoughts. It's just that there are only two minutes left in the game, and he doesn't need to continue to practice the main force. Signs, the [-]-point difference is not so easy to smooth out, and when the time comes, once the momentum is not good, just replace the main force.

The game restarted, and the Rockets had an offensive opportunity. Tyronn Lue carefully dribbled the ball across the half court, but he was not in a hurry to attack. Obviously, he was planning to delay the time.

Of course Vujacic couldn’t let him get what he wanted. Although he was very reluctant to play in garbage time, since he was on the court, he had to do something. .

Seeing Taylor pull out the pick-and-roll, Vujacic rushed over immediately and threw Ganes to Medvedenko's defense. It seemed that Vujacic was going to defend the Rockets' pick-and-roll tactics, but when he ran nearby, suddenly Turning around, he threw himself at Tyronn Lu.

Tyronn Lue's appearance is very similar to Iverson, but the facts have been proven many times. This is a dou who cannot be supported. Facing Vujacic's attack without warning, his psychological quality is obviously not enough. , Wanting to dodge, he slapped the ball directly on his feet.

A gift from heaven!

Naturally, Vujacic would not refuse. He took a horizontal step, grabbed the flying basketball in his hand, and then rushed directly towards the Rockets' half court.

"Back to defense!"

Van Gundy yelled hoarsely from the sidelines, but is there anyone on the Rockets who can catch up with Vujacic?

Tyronn Lue's speed is very fast, but his defensive experience and skills are rotten, coupled with his tragic height, even if he can catch up, Vujacic will not take this small role seriously .

Tyronn Lu also knew that his pursuit was ineffective, but he couldn't just sit idly by!
For Van Gundy, who has always managed the army strictly, "not being active in the game" is a heinous crime.

Tyronn Lu didn't want to joke about his future, so he could only run wildly behind Vujacic, and he was about to catch up, but at this moment, Vujacic suddenly stepped on the brakes, and his body After a pause, he adjusted his rhythm, jumped up, and shot!
Swish!
Three point hit!

The gap between the two sides is still ten!

It is said that people with high skills are bold, but Vujacic chose to bet on three-pointers instead of the chance to slam dunk all the way.

You must know that if the shot is missed, someone may jump out and accuse Vujacic of being reckless, but he just hit it.

Due to the inertia of his body, Tyronn Lue, who had just chased back, had already run in front of Vujacic. When he reacted and turned around, Vujacic had already made a three-pointer, and all he could do was watch the basketball hit the net.

There are two minutes and 30 seconds left in the game!

Van Gundy on the sidelines frowned slightly, and looked at McGrady who was eager to try on the bench. He was hesitating, hesitating whether to replace McGrady.

The Rockets' offense was still seeking stability, and Tyronn Lue was still in control of the ball, but this time, he didn't dare to stick to the ball anymore. After halftime, he dribbled the ball and handed it to Taylor inside.

The Rockets' current bench lineup, if you want to say that the most sure scoring point, is this buddy.

Once upon a time, Taylor, who wore the No. 23 jersey of the Los Angeles Clippers, was once considered to be an all-around forward in the league whose skills were catching up with Chris Webber.After joining the Rockets in the 2000/2001 season, he was considered to be the pillar of the Rockets in the future. However, the injury changed everything. The Achilles tendon in his right ankle was torn, which made Taylor absent from the entire 2001/2002 season. , The 6-year annual salary of 4800 million has become an unforgettable pain in the Rockets' heart.

In the 2002/2003 season, Taylor returned to the arena, but because he was incompatible with Van Gundy's basketball philosophy, Taylor could only live on the bench.

Until now, this all-around power forward who was once considered the backbone of the Rockets inside has been reduced to the point where he can only play in garbage time.

Taylor received the ball, but looking at him, he was obviously absent-minded. It could be seen that he was also quite dissatisfied with the current situation.

Medvedenko jumped out at the first time, and Taylor's mid-range shooting technique is very good.

Although he has been gradually degraded, Taylor's strength cannot be ignored. Before Medvedenko could stand still, Taylor dribbled the ball to usher him up. Take a shot and hit it!

Twelve minutes left, two minutes and 22 seconds left!

Seeing this, Van Gundy was a little relieved. His only dissatisfaction was that the Rockets' offense ended too quickly.

"quick!"

Vujacic shouted, now there is no time to dawdle, it is a waste of time to let Brown honestly bring the ball to the frontcourt.

Divac froze for a moment. Although he was dissatisfied with Vujacic's disrespect and spoke to him in a commanding tone, he still passed the ball.

After Vujacic received the ball, he ran all the way to the Rockets' half court. Gannis stepped forward to intercept and was directly overwhelmed by his speed. Seeing this, the other defensive players of the Rockets quickly guarded the basket. Uncle Mu He and Taylor are also ready to fight.

In the previous game, Vujacic hit the basket several times. One of them has personal experience, and the other can see clearly, so naturally they dare not be careless.

But when the Rockets stabilized the inside defense, Vujacic suddenly stopped in front of the three-point line. The previous speed was too fast. At this time, he suddenly braked, and there was another ear-piercing sound of friction between the soles and the floor .

What is he doing?
Vujacic quickly gave everyone the answer, take off, shoot!

Swish!
In again!
"Oh! God! He is simply a lunatic, a lunatic!" Kenny Smith roared excitedly, "Two consecutive three-pointers were completed while dribbling the ball at high speed, this is crazy, too Crazy!"

After the goal, Vujacic did not choose to return to the defense, but called his teammates who were going back to the Lakers' half to implement a tight defense against the Rockets.

There are still nine points in the difference, and there are two minutes and 18 seconds left in the time. That is to say, Vujacic's fast break and three-pointer just took only four seconds.

If Vujacic was still betting on the first three-pointer, then he deliberately made the second three-pointer. He found that the hand feeling today was too good, and it would be a waste if he didn't make good use of it.

Yes!That's right!
After Vujacic came on the field, he never thought about spending the garbage time honestly. He has never been a person who sits and waits for the opponent to take the victory, and it is still in front of his eyes. Vujacic can't stand it.

Although it is difficult, Vujacic wants to try it!
The reason why he made two consecutive three-pointers was because Vujacic wanted to force McGrady out as soon as possible. Otherwise, the time would be too long. At that time, McGrady, who has had enough rest and recovered his physical fitness, will play again, and the game will easily return to the Rockets' control.

Van Gundy began to hesitate again. He is not a decisive person. After Vujacic hit another three-pointer, the first thought in his mind was to replace Tracy McGrady. There was a problem. Is it appropriate to replace Tracy McGrady after less than 1 minute of rest.

On the court, under the tight defense of the Lakers, the Rockets almost made a mistake, but fortunately, Tyronn Lue was fast enough. At the moment when the basketball was about to go out of bounds, he flew to get the ball back, Padgett went up Basket hit.

Eleven points to go!There are two minutes and nine seconds left in the game!

Although the Lakers' full-court press failed to work, it succeeded in allowing the Rockets to speed up the pace and not give them a chance to delay time.

"That kid is very smart!" The experienced Jackson saw Vujacic's intention at a glance, and his heart was shaking again, between Kobe and Vujacic.

In terms of overall strength and influence, there is no doubt that Kobe has the upper hand. In terms of influence, Vujacic is a rookie. However, Jackson found that he is now more and more fond of Vujacic, a rookie who is not worrying. .

Outstanding strength, calm mind, but also very smart, young, with unlimited potential!

Such a rookie is rare in the NBA!

The Lakers' offense was handed over to Vujacic as soon as the kickoff was started, and the Rockets all returned to defense and set up a defense line.

If the Rockets' players on the court are the main players at this moment, it is not easy for Vujacic to make another three-pointer, but if it is these substitutes, it is much easier to solve the problem.

Holding the ball forward, Vujacic's speed is getting faster and faster. After halftime, Gannis can't help but meet him. He wants to steal the ball, but Vujacic's technique is very good. The basketball is on both sides of his body. Constantly changing positions, Gannis had no chance at all if he wanted to strike. The only thing he could do was to keep backing, backing.

Then~~~~~
Vujacic suddenly jumped up and made a jumper!
Gannis was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he was dissatisfied with his reaction, so he also jumped up, leaning forward, trying to block the shot.

Seeing this, Vujacic was overjoyed in his heart, exerted strength on his waist, and his body seemed to be pushed into the air. Gannis had already landed on the ground, and his body was still falling just now. shot!

Swish!
The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, a defensive foul!
In an instant, the entire Staples Center Arena was completely ignited, and the remaining fans jumped up from their seats one after another, cheering, and some fans even embraced each other excitedly.

The cheers belonged to the crazy Kobe just now, but now, it only belongs to Vujacic.

Vujacic was also very excited. After watching the basketball hit the net, he waved his fist vigorously and let out a cry.

This domineering scene fell in Hilary Duff's eyes. The little girl who had tasted love for the first time was full of love in an instant, and was completely fascinated by Vujacic.

McGrady couldn't help standing up at this moment, looking at Vujacic with disbelief in his eyes.

That kid just did it on purpose!
That's right!Vujacic did it on purpose, he just wanted to induce Gannis to block the shot, and then cheated for a foul.

The three-pointer was valid, one free throw was added, and after the free throws were hit one after another, Vujacic scored four points in this attack.

There are still seven points in the score gap, and there is one minute and 58 seconds left in the time!
After McGrady sat down, looking at Van Gundy with a solemn expression, he suddenly said, "Boss! Do you need my help?"

Van Gundy was taken aback. In his memory, McGrady had never taken the initiative to ask for a fight. He was slightly taken aback and said, "No! Look again! Look again!"

Van Gundy still couldn't make up his mind. Vujacic's performance really shocked him. He attacked three times and scored three times. He scored ten points in less than one minute, but he still didn't want to ruin his plan.

etc!Wait and see!
The Rockets' offense, Padgett missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the offensive power fell into the hands of the Lakers.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Vujacic, who was rushing forward with the ball, suddenly heard a burst of shouts from the audience, was slightly taken aback, and then smiled.

At this moment, in the eyes of those fans, Vujacic is the MVP in their minds. When everyone thought the Lakers would lose, Vujacic stood up. The performance has already satisfied them.

The fans who chose to stay and fight the Lakers to the end are lucky. Those fans who left the field early will definitely regret it when they know all this afterwards.

No one cares about the outcome of the game at the moment. What people want to see has already appeared in front of their eyes. Now they want to see how long Vujacic can go crazy.

This time, Vujacic did not make another three-pointer, because he found that after the three-pointer just now, the Rockets' defense against him from the perimeter became tighter, and power forward Taylor was pulled out to guard against his attack at any time. three-pointer.

In this case, Uncle Mu, I'm sorry!
Vujacic suddenly changed speed, like a gust of wind, blew past Gannis, then pulled the ball and turned around, shaking Taylor, who was defending, almost fell to the ground.

Then he took a step forward, leaped high, and Uncle Mu raised his giant palm, but Vujacic didn't give the African mountain a chance to wag his fingers. He got higher and higher, completely pressing Uncle Mu under him. , and then slashed down fiercely with one arm.

Death Dunk!

Boom!
Wow~~~~~~~~~~~
The fans at the scene had been ignited by Vujacic's three-pointers just now, and at this moment they witnessed this sedum-like death slam dunk, and the people were completely crazy.

The shouts of "MVP! MVP! MVP!" almost toppled the ceiling of the Staples Center arena.

"Tracy! Go to the court, kill that kid, and let him know that the NBA is not as simple as he thought!"

Amidst the shouts of the fans, Van Gundy couldn't sit still any longer, jumped up, yelled at Tracy McGrady, wait! ?What a fart!
Is it necessary to let tomorrow's newspaper clearly write such damn news as "The Rockets were overthrown by the Lakers in garbage time because of carelessness"?
McGrady smiled, stood up, first stretched his arms, and then said with a relaxed face: "Boss! As you wish!"

McGrady, who had just rested for more than a minute, hadn't recovered yet, but at the moment a raging fire was already burning in his heart, and his desire to fight was completely aroused by Vujacic's miraculous performance.

At the same time, there was another person on the bench who was also deeply stimulated. This person was Kobe. He tried his best in the previous game, but he still couldn't narrow the gap with the Rockets, but Vujacic did it anyway. It's here. Although the main force of the Rockets was not on the court for more than a minute just now, no one can ignore the three consecutive three-pointers and the death dunk just now. Vujacic is the real thing .

If this kid is willing to be his arm, rebuilding a Zijin Dynasty is just around the corner, but unfortunately, Kobe can feel that Vujacic is not a person who has been under others for a long time, and this rookie's ambition is no less than his.

Kobe really wanted to play, but his legs didn't allow it at all. Before he left the court, he was almost alone carrying the explosions of the Rockets' two core cores on the inside and outside. He tried his best, but He didn't become the team's hero.

Vujacic didn't pay attention to Kobe. He is a person who doesn't like to look at other people's faces. At this moment, all his attention is on Tracy McGrady.

The series of performances just now finally forced out this strongest opponent.

As soon as McGrady came on the court, he took over the Rockets' offensive dominance again. After McGrady got the ball, the other players on the field immediately pulled away to create singles opportunities for their core.

Once, twice!

McGrady just dribbled the ball slowly, his eyes fixed on Vujacic, like a wolf that would pounce on him at any time.

Vujacic knew that Tracy McGrady's attack mode was fully activated. Once this scoring maniac went crazy, no one could stop him.

Vujacic's defense can only be regarded as average. In most cases, he can only rely on his speed advantage to block the opponent's assault route. However, facing McGrady, his advantage has not yet come out. The key is McGrady's first pass. One step too fast.

Twelve seconds have passed since the attack time, and the game time is being consumed bit by bit, but Vujacic dare not make a rash move.

Suddenly, McGrady stepped forward with his left foot, and Vujacic subconsciously shifted his center of gravity toward the right side of his body, but at this moment, McGrady retracted his left foot, then took off and shot!

Swish!
Vujacic only had time to turn his head, just in time to watch the ball hollow into the net.

Also three points!

The point difference suddenly returned to eight points, and the game time was only one minute and 38 seconds left!
Huh~~~~~~~~~~
Vujacic let out a sigh of frustration, turned his head and looked at McGrady, his opponent had already retreated towards his own half, and pointed at Vujacic, which clearly meant to say: You can do it!Me too!

There is no doubt about McGrady's ability, but he was a super madman who created a miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes in Vujacic's previous life.

In his previous life, Vujacic had the honor to witness the magical McGrady moment on the spot. At that time, he was the lucky one of the NBA Asian promotion activities to watch an NBA game live for the first time.

Although it has been a long time, Vujacic still remembers that moment. When Parker missed the last three-pointer, the DJ at the scene yelled: "Oh my God, the Rockets stole the victory!"

Then all the Rockets players rushed onto the court, hugged each other and shouted: "Miracle, we created a miracle!"

Even the unsmiling Van Gundy couldn't help smiling when he saw the reporter: "Let these guys go crazy, this is more exciting than the playoffs."

Compared with the madness of the Houstonians, the Spurs were almost dumbfounded.

After the game, Spurs coach Popovich could only sigh helplessly. At that moment, he seemed to really see God. It was God who didn't want them to win that game.

The Spurs' German Brown even said: "Is this done by humans? It's impossible. The moment I lost the ball, I knew he would score. This is arranged by God. God will help he!"

When Popovich stood at the door of the visiting team's locker room for an interview, his face was expressionless: "What else can you do? You can only wait for this moment to be remembered by history. Anyway, it is not the first time we have played such a bad game." The villain."

When the reporter asked him: "McGrady's performance or Fisher's 0.4 seconds, which one makes you feel more desperate?"

Popovich could only smile wryly: "It was a myocardial infarction that time, but this time I watched someone stab you with a knife again and again, but you couldn't do anything about it."

Tracy McGrady has created an unrepeatable miracle, the kind of miracle that people will give a thumbs up when they talk about it decades later, and as a supporting role in this miraculous show, the Spurs believe that they are defeated by this light, apart from admiration In addition, there should be no other feelings such as regret.

As the protagonist, Tracy McGrady didn't seem too excited after the game. He sat quietly in the corner and spoke in a low voice. He said that he just did what he should do: "This is my role. When the game is stalemate, the team The best players in the game should step up."

Just like Tracy is doing now!
Originally, the game had entered garbage time, and everything was about to end, but Vujacic refused to admit defeat and wanted to jump out to challenge the rules, so McGrady, the core of the Rockets, naturally had to accept the challenge without hesitation.

Shaking his head, all memory of Tracy McGrady's previous life was thrown away, and Vujacic caught the ball and headed for the Rockets' half court.

The Spurs were stabbed to death by McGrady's miracle, but Vujacic did not want to accept that fate.

Swish!
Almost against McGrady's body, Vujacic hit a seemingly impossible three-pointer. McGrady's defense was very good, and it could even be said to be impeccable, without any loopholes, but Vujacic's three-pointer was still Entered, there is no reason to enter.

The score is still five points away, and there is one minute and 20 seconds left in the time!

But just five seconds later, the score gap was widened to eight points again. It was still Tracy McGrady, one step away from the three-point line, and he suddenly shot a three-pointer. Vujacic didn't even have time to make a block .

"Oh my God! Those two men on the court are crazy. They are challenging the limit and hit consecutive three-pointers. I will never see such a scene again in my life!" Kenny Smith doesn't know what to say now. What's the matter? The Rockets are his home team. He hopes that the Rockets can win, but as a fan of Vujacic, he doesn't want Vujacic to lose in the duel with McGrady. In short, it is very contradictory.

In the next game, the Lakers made a mistake in their cooperation and the pass was cut off, but Tyronn Lue made a quick move with the ball and was chased by Vujacic and directly placed on the backboard. Get a quick slam dunk.

There are still six points left in the score gap, but there are only one minute and five seconds left in the game. With an eight-point gap, the Lakers' chances are running out.

Huh~~~~~~~huh~~~~~~~~~huh~~~~~~~~~
After Vujacic completed the slam dunk, he couldn't help panting heavily. Although he only played for a little over one point, the rhythm of the game changed so fast that he had no chance to adjust. .

It was the same for McGrady. He didn't recover, and started running back and forth on the field. His physical fitness was not very good, so it was inevitable to feel tired.

However, the game will continue!
It was McGrady's offense again, and Vujacic was still defending, and their duel was still going on.

Vujacic has hit four three-pointers, two two-pointers, and one free throw. He has done well enough, but in the face of McGrady, it seems that all his efforts have become somewhat pale.

Vujacic's expression changed, but he couldn't hide from McGrady's eyes: "Are you planning to give up?"

Vujacic was taken aback, and said with a sneer, "What a joke! Could it be that you are scared!"

While Vujacic was speaking, he made a sudden shot. Tracy McGrady was caught off guard and took the basketball in his hand.

Fast attack!

Vujacic got the basketball and went down all the way. He knew that Tracy McGrady was chasing closely behind him, but he still ran one meter away from the three-point line, suddenly jumped up, slid forward, and lifted the ball. About to shoot.

McGrady also jumped up behind Vujacic, with one hand on top of Vujacic's head, and slapped the basketball in his hand.

Vujacic took the basketball down slightly in the air, waited until McGrady's palm slapped him, and shot again.

Swish!
Again!

There are still three points left in the score gap, a gap of one goal!
The scene was boiling again. Just now when McGrady played and hit two consecutive three-pointers, the fans of the Lakers were already desperate. Although Vujacic performed very well, McGrady was equally good. The game will become two big scorers The mutual competition, but the game seems to have no suspense.

But Vujacic's steal and three-pointer made the fans rekindle the fire of hope.

Five three-pointers. In just 2 minutes, Vujacic scored five three-pointers, including a three-plus-one. What's even more rare is that after Vujacic reappeared in the fourth quarter, All the shots have not yet been missed. A miracle. If the Rockets can win this game, it can be called a miracle.

miracle! ?
McGrady's gaze became more and more determined. Although it was at the Staples Center, this was his game. Since it was his game, he would not allow anyone to destroy it.

"Give me the ball!"

McGrady beckoned to Taylor who was about to serve the bottom line!
