Chapter 64 Spelled Overtime
"Come on, come on, hold on, there is still the last quarter, victory is in sight."

The head coach continued to cheer up the players, and the players also massaged each other's thighs and arms.

The game officially started in the fourth quarter. Mobley made a one-stop breakthrough and helped the Rockets narrow the point difference. You can tell by their energy that they will try their best in the fourth quarter.

The first attack in the last quarter made the Rockets score too easily. This also stems from the laxity of the Cavaliers. The head coach has been emphasizing defense, and the Cavaliers once again shrunk their defense.

The current five players on the Cavaliers are Kevin Ollie, Ira Newbell, Eric Williams, Darius Miles, and Ilgauskas.

The Cavaliers lineup does not have a main attack point at all. Their task is to defend, hold the advantage, and give the main players enough rest time.

The Cavaliers strengthened their defense, which made the Rockets' offense not smooth. Francis and Yao Ming hit the iron one after another. The Cavaliers themselves had no offensive firepower. In addition, Yao Ming, who was on the inside, lacked outside shots, and started a fight with the Rockets.

The nearly 2-minute scoring shortage in the audience caused some fans to boo. Obviously, the melon-eaters were dissatisfied with the performance.

It was Mobley of the Rockets who broke the scoring shortage, and hit a half-stop. After this ball, the Cavaliers' starter also returned to the court. The substitute failed to complete the task, 81 to 78, with a 3-point difference.

The Cavaliers didn't score a single point in the sports game in the past 3 minutes. The return of the main players immediately broke the deadlock, and Boozer hit back with a mid-range shot.

After that, there was another 5-minute anxious game. The Rockets failed to tie the score, and the Cavaliers failed to expand the point difference again. The scores of the two sides rose alternately.

92 to 88, the Cavaliers only have a 4-point advantage, and the game time is less than 4 minutes.

CCTV Sports Channel commentator Zhang Guidance said: "There is not much time left for the two teams, and the situation is very tense."

Ma Daochang: "In the past 5 minutes, the Rockets' defense has also been raised to a higher level. Their purpose is to prevent the Cavaliers from expanding the point difference, and at the same time consume more physical energy of the Cavaliers players."

"Perhaps their oppressive defense has achieved certain results. Of course, the Cavaliers' defense is also very hard. This is tantamount to double consumption."

Director Zhang said: "Now Lingbo drives forward with the ball, uses the explosive speed to pass Francis, and steps on the three-point line to shoot. Ouch, unfortunately, the strength is a little heavier."

Seeing the change in the situation on the court, Daoist Ma immediately said: "Not bad, Carlos Boozer grabbed the offensive rebound from Yao Ming. This is a player who is very accurate in judging the basketball's placement."

"Facing Yao Ming's defense, Boozer forced a shot."

Director Zhang: "Hey, Yao Ming blocked Boozer, and Boozer caught the dropped basketball again and hit the basket. This is a match with Yao Ming."

"Jumping on the spot, waiting for him is still Yao Ming's big hand, and he was capped again."

Ma Daochang: "Oh, Yao Ming played too aggressively. He blocked his opponent twice in a row. This defense is worthy of the title of the Great Wall of China."

He blocked shots twice, and the second time he shot the basketball directly into the auditorium. Yao Ming was also very excited. Francis and Yao Ming clapped vigorously.

Boozer looked frustrated, and it was demoralizing to be blocked by the same guy one after another.

After this block, amidst the passionate shouts of the fans, the Rockets completely blew the counterattack horn.

The Cavaliers played a frontcourt ball, James missed a three-pointer, Yao Ming got a rebound, and during the counterattack, Yao Ming used fake moves in the penalty area to cause Boozer's defensive foul and executed two free throws.

The defensive foul is fatal for the Cavaliers, because Boozer has previously accumulated 4 fouls, and this is the fifth time.

It was the last moment, so the coach did not replace Boozer, and Yao Ming made two free throws.

92 to 90, the Cavaliers only have a two-point advantage.

The Cavaliers attacked, Ling Bo advanced with the ball, and fell into a positional battle in the frontcourt. At this time, the Cavaliers players who were fighting back to back were exhausted.Ling Bo saw that even James' running speed slowed down, and Newbell's physical fitness was also on the red light, especially Boozer, who was very active in fighting inside and rebounding, was a double blow of mind and body, and he was not as heroic as before. , like an impotent man who can't lift his energy.

Director Zhang couldn't help sighing when he saw Ling Bo's vigor and vigor: "Ling Bo's physical fitness is really beyond our expectations. Now the five members of the Cavaliers team seem to have Ling Bo's demeanor, and his speed has not slowed down at all."

Ma Daochang nodded and said: "That's right, I played 28 minutes in the last game, and today I have played 29 minutes. The playing time is already the highest in Ling Bo's career. I don't know if Ling Bo has such passion because of excitement." .”

Ling Bo, who possesses internal strength, has only played for nearly 30 minutes. It is no problem to let him play for another 30 minutes.

However, Lingbo's unabated speed breakthrough, under the defense of Yao Ming, scored a layup, this scene is unavoidably surprising.

An oriental man is actually better physically than a very athletic black man, and his speed is comparable to the league's top guards.

Ling Bo made a successful layup this time, helping the Cavaliers stop a mouthful of blood.

During the counterattack, the Rockets also saw that Lingbo was full of energy, and avoided the ball holder from facing him, passing the ball non-stop, further consuming the Cavaliers' energy.

After a few passes, the Cavaliers' defense clearly couldn't keep up, and Mobley made a layup.

Upon seeing this, the head coach Paul Silas quickly asked for a timeout, and briefly talked about the tactics, mainly for the players to get a short rest.

Even Mark Osorsky, who I know better about Limbo, was amazed at Limbo's physical fitness, and kept asking if Limbo was really okay.

The Cavaliers replaced Darius Miles with a sweaty, slow Ira Nubell.

The short rest still failed to change the situation. James made a shot and the Rockets launched a fast break. The three guards rushed to the frontcourt at unabated speed. Only Lingbo could keep up with the Cavaliers. Lack of skills, can only watch Francis layup.

92 to 92, there is not much time left, and 1 minute is particularly difficult for the Cavaliers.

At this critical moment, Boozer made a fatal mistake in receiving the ball inside, his reaction slowed down, and he was intercepted by Mobley who broke out halfway.

The Rockets launched a fast-break counterattack again, and now they are playing a speed game, taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

Jim Jackson hit a three-pointer, which made the fans extremely excited. The Rockets in the first three quarters were a little bit of a brave man, but at the last moment of the fourth quarter, they finally felt proud.

The Cavaliers pressed the last timeout, and LeBron James suggested to the head coach: "I think Ling's physical strength can keep up, let him do it himself."

This is James' trust, this is James' understanding of Limbo, and he will never disappoint.

The head coach thought for three seconds, then nodded, acquiescing to Ling Bo's unlimited firepower.

At the end of the timeout, Lingbo first singled out Francis one-on-one, then used a change of direction to pass Mobley, faced Yao Ming in the penalty area, turned 180 degrees and made a layup.

The Rockets' offense, Boozer fouled again and left early, Maurice Taylor made two free throws.

94 to 96, the Cavaliers are two points behind.

James took the initiative to cover for Lingbo, helping Lingbo get rid of the double-team dilemma, and made another two-point shot to tie the score.

With only the last 12 seconds left, the Rockets held the last chance to attack.

One goal will determine the outcome, and the Rockets will not give the Cavaliers a chance to attack.

Francis watched the countdown and made a shot at the last moment. Limbo defended almost close to the body. He hit the iron with two points and the time was over, 96 to 96.

Overtime, for the Cavaliers, can they still play in this overtime?
