Chapter 552 We Are the Champions

At 11:[-] p.m. on NO.[-], Game [-] of the Finals between the Kings and the Bulls continued at the United Center.

Noah did not miss the game, but played with two particularly conspicuous black knee pads, which greatly increased the momentum of the Bulls.

It belongs to the big counterattack drama.

Su Yang was not careless, and told the kings and generals not to be careless. The first quarter was full of offense and defense, and he did not dare to relax in the second and third quarters.

Between the two teams, the game reached the end of the fourth quarter. With Green fouling, Gasol stood at the free throw line.

"Green fouled five times..."

Assistant coach Mike Brown reminded him, Su Yang nodded, and then looked at the scoreboard. There was 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the game.

The reason why Green fouled just now was because after Anthony hit the iron with a three-pointer, he grabbed the rebound and failed to grab Gasol.

That's a bit of a big move.

In other regular time, it is estimated that Green will be called a technical foul. The referee is really taking care of the king this time.

Cheers erupted in the arena.

Gasol stood at the free throw line, hit the first free throw, and also hit the second free throw. The Bulls chased the score to 104 to 105.

The king then requested a short timeout.

The five of Curry returned to the bench.

Su Yang didn't take the tactical board, and said directly: "There is no problem with our offense. The next step is to prevent them from scrambling for offensive rebounds. We must do a good job in advance. Don't rush too fast just because you want to get an extra rebound. Rebound..."

Gasol, who went all out, was too aggressive inside to grab the rebounds. Back then, he teamed up with Bynum to kill Howard.

Now Noah's rebounding is not bad.

The short pause ended and the whistle sounded in a blink of an eye.

Players from both teams returned to the field.

The Kings kicked off the ball from the bottom line in the backcourt. As soon as Curry crossed the center line, he encountered a close-up attack from Rose, and Covington hurriedly covered.

The defensive shouts in the arena were deafening.

Su Yang raised his eyebrows.

This time I didn't play a delayed position, mainly at the last critical moment, allowing Curry to hold the ball more firmly. After the previous three games, the Bulls are already familiar with the team's 352+14 system. If the third game hadn't been for Butler's extremely sluggish, The Bulls could move back a game.

While thinking about it, Ross squeezed through the cover and chased.

Butler stepped forward at the same time to prepare for the delay, and was intercepted by Green, but Curry was forced to circle, and Rose had already caught up.

In a hurry, Curry dribbled the ball.

Grab it back quickly, raise your hands up to observe the LOGO position.

Covington was ready to respond from the top of the arc, but Butlert stuck to it like 520 glue, not giving him a chance to play.

Fortunately, Gay lifted up from the left wing at the same time, with his back against Gasol, bent his knees to catch Curry's ground pass, and protected steadily.

Curry hurriedly started and went down to take away the potential double-team, the basketball was passed to Green where the LOGO was, and the Kings reorganized.

There are only 11 seconds left on the offensive clock.

After Gay passed the ball, he ran down the shelf wall, and Curry took the opportunity to make an emergency stop and run back. With the help of the screen, he got rid of Rose and rushed to the left 45 degrees.

Green passed the ball immediately.

Gasol immediately double-teamed.

Curry had nowhere to go.

Gay quickly cuts in and takes Gasol away.

But with only 6 seconds left, Curry failed to make a fake shot, carried Rose's defense, and forced a two-point shot.

The difficulty is too high.

The basketball bounced back with a clatter.

Antetokounmpo strode and rushed, jumped under the basket, collided with Gasol and Noah in the air, and failed to grab it.

Noah got the rebound and turned to Rose in front of him.

The United Center erupted into cheers, fans stood up and watched, and Jordan also stood up with a smile to watch the last moment.

On the side of the Bulls bench, Thibodeau touched his head with both hands uncontrollably, as if he wanted to shout some tactics, but didn't speak.

Su Yang stood up with the king's bench and glanced at the scoreboard casually, and found that Rose had already scored 30 points.

Just thinking about it, Gasol started from the short corner on the right, and with the help of Anthony's cover, he went up to the right elbow and raised his hand to receive the pass.

That's half a second apart.

Gasol passed the ball back, stepped up and raised the wall to block Curry, and screened for Rose. In the left half, Anthony walked the bottom line and used Noah's screen to temporarily get rid of Antetokounmpo and go around the left wing. Butler Dash to the basket from a 45-degree threat.

Ross thought for half a second.

Step by step, put the ball on the right, watch Green change defense and intercept, skillfully change direction forward and switch to the left hand, accelerate vigorously, rush to the edge of the penalty area like lightning, shrink and block against Covington, and chase Green close to him, Raise your hand and throw the ball to the left corner.

Butler catches the ball with his hands raised high to aim at the basket.

Huge space.

But for some reason, Butler didn't rush to shoot a three-pointer, but waited until Covington returned to the defense and approached before crossing and breaking through.

It's like a short circuit.

Maybe also not confident.

Between the flashes, Gay and Covington double-teamed back and forth.

Butler jumped to his feet and threw the ball hastily to the left wing.

Anthony caught the ball and put on a three-threat posture. Facing Antetokounmpo's fierce eyes, he raised his hand and threw the ball to Rose who circled to the top of the arc with the help of a stacked cover, and then went down to the left waist, and stuck his back to Antetokounmpo. He raised his hand to ask for a basketball, signaling a heads-up.

With only 11 seconds left in the attack time, Rose hesitated a little, raised his hand and hit the ground to pass the ball, and the rest of the Bulls retreated after seeing this.

Anthony caught the ball with his left foot as the axis and turned to face the basket, looked up at Antetokounmpo with a smile, and suddenly stepped forward with his right foot to sweep the ball, as if he was about to cross and break through, successfully tricked Antetokounmpo into sliding sideways, and suddenly kicked his right foot The washing machine turned around, kicked and took two steps, and the whole person soared into the air, holding the basketball with his right hand and flying to the basket, as if performing a beautiful offensive ballet.

The beauty is compelling.

More than 9000 fans at the United Center were ready to scream.

Snapped!
Antetokounmpo chased and jumped, and the big hat slapped the basketball.

"Interfering the ball, interfering..."

Before Thibodeau finished speaking, Noah grabbed the rebound, took off directly on the spot, and aimed at the basket to throw a throw.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Gasol took off in an instant and competed with Antetokounmpo for rebounds. The two collided in the air, but neither of them succeeded.

Gay took the opportunity to grab the basketball and threw it to Curry in the short corner on the right. Su Yang immediately decided not to call a timeout.

That thought, Curry looked to the bench, wasting a second.

The Bulls' three-man encirclement was in place suddenly, Curry jumped up and prepared to pass the ball, Su Yang saw this and yelled a timeout.

It's a pity that it was too late, Butler intercepted the basketball halfway, the Bulls played 4 on 2 in the frontcourt, and Anthony received the ball from the 45-point line on the left.

Wide open shot.

Three points hollow into the net.

The cheers in the United Center arena exploded, and the Bulls overtook the Kings 107 to 105 with 12.8 seconds left.

Su Yang called to pause again, took a deep breath to keep calm,

The referee's whistle blew.

Curry returned to the bench a little frustrated. That mistake was a bit serious and might drag down the final FMVP selection.

It could also cause the Kings to lose.

"My fault!"

Su Yang and Curry took responsibility at the same time.

The king's generals chuckled when they heard the words. It was a kind of self-confidence from the heart. After all, there were 15.8 seconds left in the game before the end.

And Su Yang was number one in the world at the last moment, he could grab two points, or directly shoot three points, there are many options.

"We played BOX series tactics, first pretended to run floppy, but actually ran under the cover, and then picked up the elevator door..."

The whistle for the end of the time-out followed.

The kings and generals set up their positions, Green stands outside the left wing, Gay stands at the left elbow, Turner stands at the left short corner, Curry stands at the right short corner, Cousins ​​stands at the right elbow, and the five stand in a square The box, and the Bulls are responsible for defending Green is Anthony.

The boos of the audience did not stop for a moment.

The referee walked up to Green and timed the whistle for the ball.

The running on the field then started. Turner pretended to lift his foot across the paint to make a cross screen for Curry, so that Curry ran from the right to the left corner to catch the ball, instantly driving Rose, and then turned up. With the help of Guy's cover, go straight to the top of the arc.

Green rushed the ball, then strode into the court, headed straight to the right elbow, pretended to be with Cousins, and set up an echelon screen for Curry, who was still parked in the short corner on the right, so that Curry could come out After catching the ball, he deliberately looked very anxious.

Strictly speaking, that is a very reasonable arrangement.

Noah and Gasol were cheated at the same time,

The two moved quickly.

Cousins ​​immediately ran to Gay, joining together to form an elevator door, and Curry followed closely behind, crossing the left wing diagonally.

Seeing this, Turner passed the ball, Gasol hurriedly switched defenses to delay Curry, and Rose quickly bypassed the screen and chased to the left wing.

But Turner and Cousins' double-screen inoculation came, and Curry moved along the three-point line all the way to the right side of the top of the arc. Facing Anthony, who was assisting in the defense, he jumped up and threw a three-pointer. Pay attention to Green, who opened the basket to get a big space.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

108:107.

The Kings took the lead with 2.8 seconds left.

The Bulls asked for a timeout, and the boos in the United Center stopped abruptly. Jordan gritted his teeth and tilted his head, unable to bear to look directly.

Durant, who was sitting in the high-level VIP room, picked up his mobile phone with a little excitement and said, "Let's start the big plan."

In the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy was full of doubts: "Why didn't the Bulls foul when Turner was holding the ball?"

Mark Jackson chuckled: "There is only a two-point gap. Not everyone dares to take risks. I think it is normal. If Turner detects in advance and causes three free throws for the foul, that would be too miserable. Of course, in theory, early fouls can be obtained. more time."

On the king's bench, Su Yang continued to press down with both hands, reminding the excited Cousins ​​and others not to worry.

"Defend the Bulls for the last attack! Don't foul, just don't give a chance to shoot, you can double-team Noah..."

The whistle for the end of the pause sounded again.

The Kings sent Bazemore + Covington + Antetokounmpo + Gay + Green to form a unique defensive lineup.

Pursue the maximization of height and movement speed.

The Bulls' five-man team settled down one after another, putting out a variant BOX trapezoidal box, and Hinrich stood on the left wing and served outside the bounds.

The referee whistles the ball to time it.

Butler ran the ghost screen first, and Rose followed up with Noah's screen to kill from the right waist to the left sideline.

Seeing Rose catch the ball, Green resolutely gave up on Noah, stepped forward and teamed up with Bazemore to double-team, while the other Kings players stepped forward to interfere with receiving the ball.Rose had no other choice, rushed a few steps to find an open space, carried Bazemore on his shoulders, and rushed to make a shot.

The basketball whistled through the air, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game at the same time, and then it slammed like an iron, rebounded and flew out of bounds.

At the end of the game, the Kings defeated the Bulls 108 to 107, swept 4 to 0 and won the championship trophy.

Su Yang stood up calmly, shouted together with Curry and others, and the Bulls sprinkled celebration ribbons very generously at home.

In the ESPN live broadcast seat, Mike Brin said with a smile: "Let us congratulate the Sacramento Kings. Congratulations to them for winning the championship after a lapse of 64 years with a record of winning the playoffs. The next broadcast will be the championship and FMVP awards... "

The live broadcast switched immediately, and Mark Jackson was vaguely heard exclaiming: WOJ just broke the news that Durant decided to jump out of the contract.

　Added updates for 'wongbingo'.
