Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 259 Super Giant Showdown
260、Super Giant Showdown

"Di!"

The referee's whistle immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the players on the field.

On the Lakers side, everyone looked relieved. After all, a foul was caused and there was a chance of free throws.

It's just that, after being relieved, he looked a little worried. After all, it was O'Neal who made the free throw.

As for the Sonics, they were all panting heavily, with a somewhat helpless look on their faces.

Ewing explained to the referee anxiously: "No foul, I didn't foul.

Mr. Referee, you should be able to see that he raised his elbow, which is an obvious foul. "

In the last round of offense, O'Neal did put up his big elbow and was suspected of fouling.

It's just that Ewing's thug foul was also true later.

Now that the referee has already blown his whistle, he will not make changes easily, especially at such a critical moment.

What's more, does Star Whistle know?

As the top star today, O'Neal can naturally enjoy the star whistle.

As for Ewing, it is already a thing of the past, so of course there is no such treatment.

All eyes were on him as O'Neal walked to the free throw line.

"Shh!"

First free throw.

The Lakers players smiled gratifiedly, but as for the Sonics, they were a little serious.

Second free throw!
This time, the Sonics were directly fooled. After all, this was O'Neal's free throw!

I didn't see O'Neill's excited look when he just scored the free throw, it was like picking up money.

Score, 98:100
Time, 0 minutes 47 seconds

Do you know why you care about this ball?

There was less than 1 minute left, and in the previous two attacks, the Sonics had already defended the Lakers.

Unexpectedly, the Sonics lost both rebounds.

For the first time, O'Neal stretched out a few fingers and took the lead in dialing the basketball to the outside line, allowing Megan Fox to grab the ball.

Megan Fox still missed the three-point line from the bottom corner, and this time, O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound again very strongly.

Not only that, he also got the opportunity to directly attack the basket.

In this case, it is impossible to prevent it, and Ewing's choice of foul is already the best choice.

After all, O'Neal's free throw, the Sonics are very confident.

The whole game is coming to an end, and the Sonics have also tried to kill the shark several times, but the effect is not bad.

Prior to this, O'Neal's free throws were only 15 of 7 free throws, and his shooting percentage was less than 50%.

The Sonics' ability to keep the score in this situation has something to do with O'Neal's free throws.

But never expected that at such a critical moment, O'Neal was so tough and made two free throws.

"Rebound, rebound, how many rebounds do I have to say?
You can't rely on inside players for rebounding, but you need everyone to help and guard the basket. "

……

At such a critical moment, Paul Westphal didn't have the slightest thought of saving, and directly called a timeout.

In other words, in today's Supersonic hands, there is only a short timeout of 2 seconds left.

Perhaps because of the long timeout, the head coach felt that there was enough time, so he simply started scolding.

In fact, the scolding is very reasonable.

After all, in the defensive round just now, it wasn't just that the Lakers were too good, but the Sonics made too many mistakes.

Three consecutive offenses, not to mention the Lakers, even if it is another team, they can score the ball.

And all of this is because of the problem of defensive rebounding.

Get rebounds, win the world.Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it still makes sense.

After all, there are only two ways to switch from a defensive state to an offensive state, free throws from outside the line, or grab rebounds.

Without rebounds, the chances of offense will even be reduced by half. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?
Fortunately, Paul Westphal did not completely lose his mind. While cursing is important, the game is even more important.

"Gary, control the time for me, I want to guarantee the team's two offensive opportunities.

Also, don't make any mistakes. Once you make a mistake, the game will be over, and there will be no victory to speak of. "

……

Paul Westphal first emphasized the details, and then proceeded to the specific tactical arrangement.

After all, in his opinion, tactics should be based on the premise of ensuring that there are no mistakes.

Otherwise, everything is useless.

Emphasized some details, and told the players not to make mistakes, and then the specific tactical arrangement.

In fact, the Supersonic players didn't just know this tactic.

How could the so-called tactical arrangement at the critical moment be a temporary thought of by the coach?
In fact, as early as in daily training, there are drills for various situations.

At most, in actual combat, there will be some changes in details.

"Wang, can you throw the ball in?"

Hearing Paul Westphal's sudden question, the whole team's attention was drawn to him by the way.

I have to say, the pressure is directly full!
Who can guarantee 100% of such things as key shots, after all, there are too many accidental factors.

Even if you can successfully play tactics and successfully throw the ball, it is still the same thing whether you can get in or not!
Not to mention Wang Hao, even Kobe and Jordan, there is no guarantee.

But Paul Westphal asked.

To be honest, if it wasn't because he was the head coach, Wang Hao even wondered if this guy was sent by the opponent to mess with his mentality.

In fact, Paul Westphal also has helplessness.

The defense just now was a huge blow to the Supersonics' confidence.

Not to mention, O'Neal's two free throws made people even more desperate, which is impossible in normal times.

In this case, it will give the Sonics players a feeling that the goddess of luck is on the side of the Lakers.

Don't think that old Americans are all about science and don't engage in feudal superstition. In fact, they are more superstitious.

If you put it in normal times, you don't need too many adjustments. If you put people in the game, you will naturally focus on the game.

As long as you don't think about it, you won't have these problems.

But the problem is, it is the last minute of the game, and it is only a few seconds before the winner is decided.

At this time, once there is a mistake, or negligence in defense, it is absolutely fatal.

I didn't see that Paul Westphal yelled uncharacteristically just now, but it was actually to adjust the mentality of the players.

It's a pity that Paul Westphal is a bit different.

Seeing the listless appearance of the players, even Gary Payton's expression was rather gloomy.

This made Paul Westphal a little worried.

That's why he suddenly asked the question, the meaning was obvious, it was to let Wang Hao drive the confidence of the whole team.

Wang Hao was a little dumbfounded, but what can he do?It's not just that I can only bite the bullet and say.

"Of course no problem, I'll take care of everything."

Just after Wang Hao finished speaking, the referee was already urging the Supersonic to play quickly.

Although there are still 47 seconds left, the Sonics did not control the time very tightly.

To put it bluntly, they want to fight for another offense.

PJ Brown sent the ball to Gary Payton, and besides that, Ewing and Lewis all concentrated around Wang Hao.

The moment the ball was delivered, Ewing and Lewis immediately took cover positions, and Wang Hao immediately looked for an opportunity to run out.

Is this a tactic specially prepared for Wang Hao?

That being the case, why didn't Gary Payton join the pick-and-roll team, requiring him to pass the ball one more time?

Of course, these issues are Phil Jackson thinking.

As for the Lakers players, they have already devoted themselves to the game at this time, so there is no time to think.

Kobe seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He squeezed out of the crowd and followed Wang Hao immediately.

It's just that Wang Hao has already appeared outside the three-point line. Although the opportunity is not obvious, it is still there.

Ever since, everyone's eyes were on Wang Hao, and they seemed to be waiting for Gary Payton's pass.

However, to everyone's surprise, the expected pass did not come.

Fisher immediately noticed something was wrong, because Gary Payton made a breakthrough, instead of passing the ball, he made a breakthrough.

Fisher didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly followed, but was suddenly blocked, as if he had hit a wall.

Every time, it was PJ Brown's pick-and-roll.

After PJ Brown finished playing the ball outside the bounds, he ran over immediately, looking like he was going to rush inside, but it was actually a pick-and-roll.

Horace Grant reacted a row slower, but it was this beat that prevented him from blocking Gary Payton in the first place.

At this time, Gary Payton had already entered from the center line.

The Lakers players turned pale with fright, no matter who they were, they were somewhat moved by Gary Payton.

Will the Sonics choose two points or three points?
In fact, this is a question of half points. Three-pointers have Wang Hao, and two-pointers can tie the score.

Is it useful to tie the score?
Of course it is useful, because there is still enough time. Normally, the Sonics still have a chance to attack.

O'Neal, Megan Fox, and even Kobe were all pulled by Gary Payton, and their attention was shifted.

At this time, Gary Payton chose to pass the ball when no one expected it.

I saw him suddenly throw the ball out.

And in this position, it was Wang Hao who ran over from the other side, and there was already a big vacancy.

Where is Kobe?
Kobe was naturally stopped.

Because Gary Payton broke through from the middle, Kobe followed Wang Hao and appeared near 45 degrees on the right.

Just as soon as he stretched out his hand, he could infect Gary Payton, so he really stretched out his hand.

It's just that Kobe is very poor, it's just interference, but there is no blind foul, after all, it is such a critical moment.

And at this moment, when Kobe's center of gravity moved, Wang Hao moved again.

Wang Hao went directly from outside the three-point line to the other side.

Kobe reacted quickly, but when he was about to chase, he was blocked again by PJ Brown.

I have to say that in this tactic, PJ Brown is very important, first free throws, and then two consecutive pick-and-rolls.

That is, he was able to move in a wide range in such a short period of time, and he also completed two pick-and-rolls.

This is the tactics of supersonic speed, hit the east and hit the west, and then hit the east and the west.

A two-pointer to tie the game never said what the Sonics wanted, what they wanted was a three-pointer.

Yes, this is actually a lore tactic.

More than that, in fact, this tactic itself has multiple changes.

For example, Wang Hao's first move, and Gary Payton's breakthrough, when necessary, can change from a feint to a real attack.

The basketball fell firmly into Wang Hao's hands. At this time, Grant could only jump up from a long distance in an attempt to complete the interference.

It's a pity, this is Wang Hao!

The basketball left Wang Hao's hands in a very standard spinning posture, and then flew to the hoop.

"Shh!"

Such a wide open three-pointer is unlikely to be a surprise to Wang Hao.

95 rated three-pointers, do you think you are bragging?

"Nice job, Wang, I love you to death."

"My God, Wang, you are the god of basketball."

"Wang, you are Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan from outside the three-point line."

……

It was at this moment that the emotions on the field were instantly ignited, and the supersonic players were extremely excited.

As for the worry and haze just now, it was swept away.

As for the fans at the scene, they had already started singing battle songs, as if they were opening champagne at halftime.

Wang Hao quickly signaled his teammates to calm down, and such things as opening champagne at halftime must never be done.

101:100
The Sonics once again completed the overtake, and it was with only 30 seconds left in the game.

I have to say that this time is a bit embarrassing. Even if the Lakers complete an offense, the Sonics still have a chance.

The Lakers were also unambiguous, and immediately called a timeout. Not only that, but when the game resumed, there were personnel adjustments.

Robert Hawley was substituted again. As the famous big heart in the NBA, he naturally attracted much attention.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers sent the ball to Kobe. As the core of the outside line, he should hold the ball as it should.

First consume time, while trying to score the ball, the Lakers do not intend to leave too much time.

Seeing that the time was within 15 seconds, Kobe did not delay any longer, and immediately began to prepare for the attack.

Wang Hao was engrossed, thinking that Kobe would play by himself, but unexpectedly, he actually gave the ball to O'Neal.

It is estimated that Phil Jackson made a special request, but Kobe, who is not yet a black mamba, dare not really take the words of the head coach as a deaf ear.

After O'Neal got the ball, he was about to attack, and the Supersonics had already prepared for it, and immediately double-teamed.

The Lakers seemed to have expected it, and passed the ball again. After Kobe got the ball, he went straight.

It seems that there is no tactic, but in fact, the OK combination connection is already the most powerful tactic.

Because just this inside-out pass has messed up the Supersonic's defense.

Thanks to Wang Hao's preparations, Kobe didn't rush over directly.

However, Kobe is also very straightforward. In an extremely difficult situation, with a very extreme fallback, he made a shot.

Wang Hao smiled slightly, right, this is Kobe.

When he was prepared, he was sure that although he did not complete the block, he interfered with Kobe.

Sure enough, Kobe's shot bounced out of the frame.

In this super giant duel, it seems that Wang Hao's performance is even better, surpassing Kobe.
