Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 34 34. The Last 2 Minutes
In the fourth quarter, the flames of war reignited, and the Nuggets led by 5 points.

Richard is still on the court. At this time, the Nuggets have replaced Nurkic, and Jokic, who has super organizational skills, is present.

Jokic, known as the essence of human pork belly, was already fat at this time.

The speed has not been raised, and the reason for the substitution this time is not understood at all.

Richard rushed into the penalty area again and scored 2 points. The effect of replacing Jokic on the field was not reflected in the defense.

At the same time, because Nurkic was not on the court, the Nuggets gave up the shrinking inside tactics that had been implemented for three quarters, and dispersed all the players to use conventional man-to-man defense.

On the offensive end, Jokic can easily find teammates and give assists to help the team score.

Could it be that they want to counterattack and forcefully kill the game by relying on their offensive ability.

Westbrook only rested for 4 minutes and returned to the court with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Richard returned to the bench.

Since it's an offense, let's face it head-on.

The man-to-man defense and Nurkic's end made the inside lose an important barrier. Westbrook regained his prowess and hit the inside with all his strength.

Under the impact of Westbrook, the Nuggets completely collapsed inside. Not only were Westbrook breaking through to score consecutive points, but they also offered foul free throws one after another.

The Nuggets were beaten.

It still doesn't change Nurkic back to defend the inside.

Although Jokic got 4 assists, the score is still approaching step by step.

In the last 3 minutes of the game, there were only 2 points left.

But Oladipo suddenly forced two consecutive singles and failed to make a shot. Fortunately, the Nuggets did not fully seize the opportunity. The two fast break opportunities were blocked once and did not make a shot.

With less than 2 minutes left, the point difference came to 4 points, and the Thunder paused.

"Richard, you go on the court, cooperate with Westbrook, and take a three-pointer first." Richard's hand feeling is very good today. So far, he has made 7 of 5 shots, and Donovan also gave him considerable trust.

This attack uses Richard as a surprise soldier, and the opponent's defense will definitely target the powerful Westbrook and today's efficient Oladipo.

除开不说三分6投2中和刚刚上头投丢了2个球，今天的奥拉迪波18投得到24分是相当高效的。

But in Oladipo's view, this tactic was given to Richard at the critical moment because he was not recognized.

Not to mention, Richard accepted the order in the face of danger, his heart was very agitated, and he was full of ambition.

But the serve was destroyed by the Nuggets' tactics.

Adams barely hits the ball on the sideline.

Jokic's wide body blocks a lot of angles, and the players defending Westbrook are entangled every step of the way, and 5 seconds will pass.

Donovan only has one timeout left in his hand, and he can't call it at this time, otherwise he won't be able to arrange tactics for the next ball, and he can only tie after 4 points and [-] goals!He stomped his feet anxiously.

Richard stood outside watching Westbrook unable to get rid of the entanglement, and Adams was about to go crazy, so he ran over to ask for the ball.

Adams had no other choice and passed the ball to Richard.

Now that the ball has been received and the tactics have been destroyed, the only option is to watch and play.

Richard received the ball and ran to the center circle, and the defender also left the three-point line, which was a good opportunity to break through.

With an emergency stop and a change of hands between his legs, Richard avoided the defender's attack and broke through from the direction the defender was coming from.

Jokic found an empty space under the basket, dragged his heavy body and ran back hard.

Adams stepped onto the court after serving the ball, just outside the three-point line to help Westbrook block the defender.

There was one person behind Richard, and Jokic in front had returned to the penalty area and occupied a defensive position.

Facing the double-team, Richard's inner thoughts were very clear, and he also saw the key points in his peripheral vision.

Adams helps Westbrook block the defender, and Westbrook has run to the three-point position at the top of the arc, and it is open.

Wrist out, Richard flicked the ball back and into Westbrook, who was just in place.

Facing the situation where no one was 2 meters in front of him, Westbrook made a three-pointer without hesitation.

Jokic still wanted to turn around to make up defense, but unfortunately his flexibility was too poor, so he could only watch the basketball fly into the net.

Westbrook made the first three-pointer of the game by raising his hand, and he still hit it steadily even amidst the boos of the audience.

The original tactics and the execution of the two people just changed. It was supposed to be Westbrook breaking through Richard's shot, but he could perfectly achieve the tactical goal in reverse.

Only 1 points left.

The Nuggets' offense and Jokic's top-of-the-arc organization pulled Adams out of the penalty area. Centers with three-pointers couldn't be provoked.

After the restricted area was emptied, the human streaky meat essence rushed into the restricted area once again. With a wall-hitting pass and cut cooperation, Jokic scored a layup and used offense to make up for the loss of the previous goal.

Westbrook also fought back, attacking the inside again, the outside defense is unstoppable one-on-one, Jokic, who has been burning pork belly continuously, can't keep up, and the Thunder also bite the score.

With only 52 seconds left, the Nuggets paused.

"The opponent will definitely attack the inside. Now they are still leading by 1 point. The most important thing is stability. If they can make a goal, they will lead by 3 points. If they can't make a goal, they still have an advantage. So everyone should be ready to shrink the defense at any time, and try to interfere with outside shots..." Donovan urgently deployed the defense.

After the timeout, Murray also played. As the No. 7 pick this year, the Nuggets have already given him a lot of possessions, and now he is also using this critical moment.

Murray, who is a dual guard, played against Richard, which made Richard feel something was wrong.

Murray, who mainly plays point guard, faced himself. The coach must have taken aim at his lack of defense. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that it is difficult for rookies to get the conventional thinking of playing key shots, and then caught the Thunder by surprise.

At this time Murray did not move at all, but stood in the bottom corner with his hands on his knees, trying to hide his existence as much as possible.

This made Richard feel that his speculation was more likely, and he focused more on Murray.

The Nuggets are pressing time, and it is estimated that they will delay the time until after 16 seconds, and use 8 seconds to move and attack, and try to delay for 24 seconds after the offensive score.

The point guard looks like he's walking around with the ball, but everyone's on the mend because he can attack at any moment.

Suddenly, Murray in front of Richard began to run, and Jokic also strode towards this side, this is to set up a pick and roll for Murray.

Richard reacted quickly, bypassing Jokic before Murray received the ball, and reposted Murray.

Murray had just received the ball at this time, but the pick-and-roll had failed.

There are only 6 seconds left in the time, and there is no time to do another tactic, so they can only attack forcefully.

Murray is also a confident person. He attacks when he gets the ball. Facing Richard's stalking, he breaks into the free throw line and makes a step-back jump shot.

Richard himself practiced step-back shooting every day, coupled with his height advantage, his long outstretched hands blocked the shooting angle to death.

Murray missed the offense, Adams got the rebound and quickly passed it to Westbrook with 30 seconds left.

30 seconds, this time it was Thunder's turn to beat the clock.

As long as you score this time, you can overtake, so try to leave as little time as possible for the opponent, and use the last time to force the opponent to attack forcefully without using more tactics, so as to increase the success rate of defense and the opponent's turnover rate.

And if he fails to score a go-ahead score, there is enough time for foul tactics.

Westbrook controls the ball in the middle circle, and the Nuggets will not foul even if they are leading. They can only respond passively, and the soldiers will block the water and cover it.

It's the same idea, even if the Nuggets are scored, they still have time to arrange another offensive tactic to kill the opponent.

Psychological game is mental oppression, to see who has a big heart.

With 10 seconds left in the shot clock, Westbrook moved, and all the Thunder players stood outside, including Adams.

The role of superstars is to exert their energy at critical moments!
Westbrook started, sprinted, and rushed past the defender in a lunge, rushing towards the penalty area.

Jokic has long been guarding the inside line, standing upright and waiting for the confrontation.

Westbrook rushed to the free throw line and made a sudden stop, shooting a jumper when Jokic was out of reach and the defender couldn't keep up.

The emergency stop zombie jumper is one of Westbrook's famous tricks, and there is no problem with the choice of this shot.

Even if there is a problem, it is not invested.

"When" the ball bounced out of the frame and was taken by Jokic.

With only 8 seconds left, Jokic's foot speed is not fast, but his hand speed is not slow. With a flick of his hand, the ball has already come to Murray's hands.

The most accurate free throw in the team.

Without hesitation, Richard rushed forward and hugged Murray.

"Beep!" Foul free throw.

5 seconds left.

Murray stood on the free throw line, and he was very confident, and the audience gave him applause and encouragement.

After adjusting his breathing, Murray scored the first free throw steadily.

There are still many strategies to deal with being two points behind.

Murray freed the ball again, the flight route of the ball was different from last time, and everyone was staring at the ball closely.

If the penalty is scored, the 3-point disadvantage may overwhelm the Thunder; if it does not score, the Thunder's tactical possibilities will increase, and the Nuggets will be under greater defensive pressure.

The ball landed on the rim and bounced slightly, and everyone's hearts were beating endlessly following the basketball on the rim.

Adams stood up quickly, blocked the position with his body, and all other players squeezed into the penalty area.

"Dang...dang...dang..." The ball bounced on the basket a few times, and finally rolled into the net under everyone's gaze.

"Beep!" Thunder paused.

5 points behind in the last 3 seconds.

Can only play a three-point tactic, tied into overtime.

Otherwise, swallow the fruit.
