Chapter 39 Bold, Ze Yang

In the last minute, the difference of 1 points, so give up?

Shouldn't it be the last 20 seconds?

This is a bit different from the NBA games that Ze Yang watched before. You must know that after McGrady completed the miracle of 2004 seconds and 35 points in 13, many teams, as long as the point difference is not too big, will stick to the end.

However, Yang Ze didn't have time to think about it. Since the head coach asked him to play, he should take good care of it.

Seeing the 76ers put on a substitute, they didn't plan to fight in the last minute. The Clippers also made this favor and sent a substitute to fight.

The pecking of chickens has begun.

The Clippers did not play Livingston, but veteran Sam Cassell, who joined the NBA in 1993.

Faced with such a veteran who has played in the NBA for more than ten years, Yang Ze dare not be careless, who knows when he will come to you and make you make a mistake.

So when Yang Ze dribbled the ball across the field, he didn't stop at all. Instead, he gave full play to his speed, coupled with dribbling, and rushed to the basket with a big stride.

According to the "custom" of the NBA, this kind of training time usually involves several players cooperating with each other to increase the tacit understanding, but Yang Ze rushed towards the basket with strides, which made the Clippers' substitutes a little overwhelmed.

This kid doesn't play by the rules.

Being easily passed by Yang Ze, Kassel, an old man with old arms and legs, couldn't catch up.

After reaching the restricted area, the opponent's substitute center reacted, but it was too late, Xiao Yangzi had already made a layup.

Well, a successful raid, Yang Ze finally got his first score in the NBA.

The seemingly ordinary ball made him jump up happily. The excitement and joy in his heart at this time were beyond the reach of Iverson, Colin and others.

"Defend, defend"

Yang Ze, who was still immersed in joy, was pulled back to reality by the coach on the sidelines shouting.

The game is still going on, how can you be distracted.

Clippers guard Cassell is a very slow-paced player. Wade once said: He will drive you crazy on the court. The pace is very slow, just like an old man.He plays at his own pace, methodically, and then bursts out.

Once you fall into the opponent's rhythm on the court, you will be led by the nose.

If he wants to play slowly, then his rhythm must be disrupted.

Regardless of whether other people want to win or not, Yang Ze definitely does. This is his first show. Winning must be more glorious than losing.

The Clippers wanted to delay the time, play for 24 seconds, and reduce the chances for the 76ers to get the ball. Of course, Yang Ze would not do what he wanted and took the initiative to post it.

He was very active, trying to force Cassell to stop his slow dribble.

As an experienced veteran, he expected Yang Ze's intentions, suddenly changed his speed, and rushed towards the basket.

How fast was Yang Ze's reaction? When Cassel shifted speed, Yang Ze also moved sideways one step, blocking his way.

"Your shift is much slower than Allen's."

Yang Ze had trained with Iverson for two months, and was abused by Iverson every day for two months. He had already gotten used to Iverson's shifting speed, so Kassel's shifting speed was really slow in Yang Ze's eyes.

Even if Yang Ze's talent is poor, if he fights like this every day for two months, he will gain a lot of wisdom.

Who said there is no benefit in being abused, this is all experience.

"Isn't it a successful defense?" Coach Cheeks said with a smile to Iverson beside him.

Under Yang Ze's pressure, Cassel made a mistake in passing the ball, which could cause a veteran to make a mistake. Yang Ze's defense was very active.

Louis - Williams intercepted the opponent's pass, seeing that he was going to be double-teamed, and immediately passed the basketball to Ze Yang's direction.

In the last 30 seconds, after Yang Ze got the ball, he stepped on the accelerator and moved forward.

The Clippers' Tim Thomas, Cardinal Mobley and others have retreated early.

In this wave of conversion attacks, if they score, the 76ers still have a chance. If they fail to score, they can only resort to foul tactics.

And this kind of abandoned game, who would use foul tactics at the final moment of training.

Winning or losing can only be a gamble. Yang Ze stopped in front of the three-point line, and Cassel, who was chasing and defending, also rushed to him. Before Yang Ze even had time to aim, the basketball dropped his hand and flew towards the basket.

Veteran Cassel hit the back of Yang Ze's hand because he was chasing the cap from behind.

The referee's whistle blew very quickly, much faster than the amateur game of West Lions.

At the same time as the whistle sounded, there was the sound of a basketball hitting the net.

"Fuck, what kind of operation is this?" Cassel complained a little helplessly.

"You are really a rookie?"

Excited in my heart, if I don't make a move, it's a 3+1.

"Thank you, Sam, for adding some sparkle to my debut."

At this moment, Yang Ze was confident, so he answered the veteran's question confidently.

Coach Cheeks nodded and said, "Well, this ball is difficult."

Korver on the side also nodded again and again, nonsense, it must be difficult, I dare not play like this.

First of all, the difficulty of this ball lies in the quick transition, the emergency stop at the top of the arc, and the second is that the shooting speed is very fast. Because of fear of being chased, it is too late to even aim, and the shot is completely completed by muscle memory.

Iverson stood up and said to coach Cheeks: "I think we can still save it."

"Let them call a timeout."

Ze Yang walked to the free throw line. After all, this is Los Angeles and the home court of the Clippers. Although the fans were surprised by Ze Yang scoring five points in a row, they did not forget their duty at this time, which is to interfere. I hope Ze Yang Don't make a penalty.

3+1, a free throw is a four-pointer. Yang Ze took a few shots, raised the ball to his forehead, and glanced at the basket.

Meanwhile, the Blair family in the hospital, Moya and Dana, had folded their hands in prayer.

God bless, Yang will definitely make a penalty.

Whether God heard it, Yang Ze didn't know, but he heard the sound of the basketball hitting the net.

As soon as the free throw was scored, the Clippers immediately called for a timeout.

Score 1 points in a row within 6 minute, is this something a rookie can do?

Countless fans have asked such questions.

92 to 94, the hope of the Philadelphia 76ers is back.

"Good work." Iverson had already stood up to greet Ze Yang, and the two clapped hands hard.

"There are 27 seconds left, we still have a chance to attack, the premise is to defend against the Clippers' attack." Head coach Cheeks held the tactical board, and the players formed a circle, waiting for his arrangement.

"Yang, you go to the second position and guard Quinton Ross."

Yang Ze hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said good.

It's not strange because of the position adjustment, but the head coach let him continue to play at this critical moment.

Shouldn't Iverson play this moment of life and death?

Later, Cheeks also explained that the 76ers still had a timeout, and Ze Yang's task was to go and see Quinton Rose, one of the opponent's main scorers.

Once the defense is successful and the possession of the ball is obtained, the 76ers will immediately use this timeout to arrange offensive tactics, and then it will be Iverson's turn to perform.

The timeout ended soon, and Yang Ze appeared with the starters for the first time. In the eyes of outsiders, the 76ers were hiding Iverson. It was a stupid decision to bet on life and death with a second-round pick.

Cheeks knows that Ze Yang's defense is not top-notch, but his defensive enthusiasm is the highest in the entire team, even higher than Iguodala.

Ze Yang, Willie Green, and Iguodala, three strong young men, put a lot of pressure on the outside line of the Clippers.

Under Cheeks' deployment, the 76ers adopted a three-two defense.

Halftime fell into a positional battle, Brand attacked with the ball, encountered Yi Ge's tenacious resistance, Quinton Ross also kept running, but he found that Ze Yang was like his shadow, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

This is why Cheeks let Yang Ze play. He has less playing time, has physical strength, speed, and strength and will not lose to Rose.

Time wasted like this, the Clippers couldn't get in, and there was no chance outside, but they didn't have inside players for this offense.

With 12 seconds left, Brand made a strong shot from the outside, Iguodala's defense was in place, and the basketball hit the edge of the basket.

The 76ers' Dalembert and the Clippers' center Chris Kaman are crazy about this key rebound.

But the basketball bounced backwards when it hit the edge of the basket, and Ze Yang and Rose rushed towards the basketball almost at the same time.

If they compete with Rose for this rebound, the 76ers are likely to lose the ball.And Yang Ze's choice is to take off and fly the basketball, and Iguodala relies on his athletic talent and keen insight on rebounding to grab this rebound.

The 76ers got the ball and quickly pressed the timeout, with 8 seconds left.

"Very correct choice." Iguodala and Ze Yang walked off the field side by side, and said to Ze Yang.

Yang Ze responded with a smile. Being able to get praise from his teammates will help him integrate into the team as soon as possible.

"Next, it's up to you." Ze Yang said to Iverson.

Ze Yang did not become a loophole in the team's defense. It was precisely because of his correct choice of picking the ball that the 76ers had a chance of life and death.

Head coach Cheeks writes and draws on the tactical board, and the last chance to attack is of course given to team leader Allen Iverson.

"Young, your job is to cover for Allen to get the ball, or pass the ball to Allen after receiving the ball."

Um?Um?
Everyone was stunned, that's right, the head coach called Yang Ze's name just now.

The last attack, giving such an important task to an inexperienced rookie?
The last thing I expected was the 76ers' starting guard Willie Green. He thought to himself: Shouldn't I be the one to play at this time?Letting a rookie play such an important offense puts my position in the team at risk.

No, it is impossible, he is just a rookie at the end, just a player with a ten-day short contract, how could he threaten my starting position.

At the end of the timeout, Ze Yang, Iverson, Iguodala, Webber, and Daimler Porter are a fresh combination.

Webber served from the sideline, and Iverson was naturally defended by the Clippers. At this critical moment, anyone can guess that the 76ers will give Allen Iverson the last chance to attack.

This is indeed the case, Iverson was double-teamed, and even though he tried his best to run, he had no chance.

At the same time, Ze Yang was also running, and when he passed Iverson shoulder to shoulder, Ze Yang had a chance, and Weber immediately gave the ball to Ze Yang's position.

The 8-second countdown begins.

Ze Yang dribbles, dribbles, Iverson asks for the ball, and Livingston also appears in front of Ze Yang.

"Aaron."

Ze Yang made a passing motion towards Iverson, a very realistic motion, the basketball was about to be dropped, Livingston also gave up on Ze Yang and threw himself in Iverson's direction.

Yang Ze moved towards the inside, but this time he was facing the Clippers' Chris Kaman's inside.

"Coach Cheeks, the script is wrong. This kid is too courageous to violate your tactical plan." Willie Green said in the head coach's ear.

Saying this at a time like this is like a woman's pillow talk.

Cheeks didn't respond, but stared at the field intently. He was also beating drums in his heart. The rookie had a strong desire to perform, so he wouldn't start with such an important attack.

The fact is that Ze Yang's breakthrough attracted the defense of three people. Iverson knew Ze Yang's character. At this time, he was creating opportunities for himself, and Iverson ran with all his strength.

Yang Ze, who was blocked, turned around and gave the ball to Iverson's position.

3 seconds, 2 second.
Iverson caught and shot the ball from the outside, the basketball roared in the air, and everyone was staring at the parabola that determined the outcome.
