Chapter 8 Lore
No matter how ridiculous it is, the Kings must always stand up and bite the bullet and score basketball.

Served from the sideline, Bibby received the ball, did not rush to attack, but dribbled the ball slowly, observed the situation on the field, and wanted to hit a success rate. After 7 or 8 seconds passed, he found that the Cavaliers were strict in defense, tight inside and loose outside.

Mike Bibby put up a finger and played number one tactic.

Brad Miller mentioned the high position and received a pass from Bibby, first of all he had to go through the inside.

Then, Bibby ran to the right with JR-Bremmer, circled to the three-point corner, and ran back again, slipping the bottom line and moving to the left corner.

Then, Doug Christie moved towards Brad Miller on the side with the ball, and suddenly ran back, quickly flanked from the right, cut to the inside line, and pinned down Lin Bai on the right side.

Immediately afterwards, Stojakovic cut into the inside line from the left, and the little emperor chased after him closely.

At this time, Brad Miller suddenly passed the ball over the top and gave it to Verratti Divac in the low post on the left. The defensive formation was directly torn to pieces.

Bibby, who slipped the bottom line, used the cover of Verratti Divac to come out from the left side and get a wide open shot.

This is Princeton's low-post style of play. In order to score the key goal, Kings coach Rick Adelman made a ruthless move and resorted to a combination of two fists-Princeton's combination of high and low positions!

Rick - Adelman looked a little nervous, clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on every move on the field.

So far, everything on the field has been executed according to his plan, and it has been executed very well.

In his view, theoretically, the combination of the two styles of play can increase the power by more than one level.

Use the high post Princeton to attract opponents to block air cuts, and then play low post Princeton. If the opponent wants to block the low post, the opportunity has come out.

Even if Ilgauskas wanted to defend Bibby, the worst result would be Bibby playing a big game against Ilgauskas.

Now Verati-Divac holds the ball in the low post. If Ilgauskas leaves the inside to defend Bibby, Divac will face JR-Bremmer, and it will be another big hit close to the basket.

Ilgauskas was only the flesh on the board, was firmly nailed to the inside line, and could not move.

Of course, at this time, it is also time to test Verratti Divac's offensive talent and coping ability.

Not only coach Rick - Adelman, the eyes of other audiences also fell on Verratti - Divac's body.

Divac nicknamed 'Ghost Hand', pass the ball superbly, is it passed to Bibby on the left?Or Stojakovic on the right?
Divac has a good low-post technique, or does he just shoot?
Seeing that 10 seconds passed, the king's attack time was only 5 or 6 seconds, and the little emperor James took the lead in responding and rushed directly to Bibby.

Lin Bai also ignored Christie and went to the basket on the right.

Divac deserves to be called a 'ghost hand' player. He feinted a shot from the right, and then received the ball with his right hand and passed it to the left.

Mike Bibby caught the ball, dribbled it, adjusted his shot rhythm, and his face was cold, giving people a killer feeling.

Taking off lightly, ignoring James' crazy forward pounce, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew out.

With a beep, the score timer flashed red, and the 24 seconds had just elapsed.

All the fans and spectators present stared fixedly at the basketball in mid-air, held their breath, and raised their hearts.

With a bang, the piercing sound of iron striking broke the short-term calm outside the arena.

Didn't enter?

Missed the lore!

rebound!
All the players, with red eyes, used their bodies to block their opponents, occupy the space under the basket, and prepare to grab rebounds.

Lin Bai took the lead, and resisted with his back. Christie, who was squeezing in, was lucky. The basketball flew to his side, grabbed the basketball firmly, and hugged him tightly.

Christie wanted to grab a foothold, but the sneak attack was fruitless, and he didn't dare to make too many moves, for fear of getting a foul and sending Lin Bai to the free throw line.

Lin Bai found an opportunity and decisively called a timeout.

On the bench, the Cavaliers had smiles on their faces and joy in their eyes, celebrating the rest of their lives this time.

The little emperor James, as if he was inspecting the territory, gave them high-fives one by one to celebrate, and also gathered courage for himself.

Not surprisingly, the final attack will be attacked by the 'chosen son', James.

"Everyone spaced out and handed the basketball to LeBron."

The head coach of the Cavaliers, Paul Silas, threw out his superstar tactics without thinking deeply, and said in a loud voice, then, he took a serious look at James, and continued: "LeBron, you will be singled out next. Gerry Christie, if the Kings have the courage, maybe Peja will be the main defense, and the two of you will face off directly, and the winner will be decided by one goal."

After the timeout, the knights will go into battle again.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and bursts of cheers rang out for the knight generals who brought them surprises tonight.

At this time, Lin Bai was pestering James. He didn't know what he was talking about, but he heard Lin Bai said in a decisive tone, "The stage has been set up, you just forcefully rush into the inside line, even if you force a layup in four or five steps, you can't do it." Don't pass the ball to me, when the time comes, I will pretend to ask you for the ball, if you dare to pass the ball, even if it is only for 1 second, I will pass it back to you."

The lights were flickering, and everyone's eyes were on James. James' face was calm. I don't know if he listened to Lin Bai's words.

Klay Thompson's star card, the time has already ended. Lin Bai, who has lost his top star ability, can only take precautions in advance. He also wants to win, and he doesn't want to mess up this game.

He didn't know if James would throw the pot away?

Although Lin Bai was unwilling in his heart, he really didn't have the confidence to make the last shot.

In the auditorium, the blond and blue-eyed Hilton sisters looked at the little emperor with beautiful eyes.

Kim Kardashian, who was on the side, also showed an emotional expression. Looking at James' immature and resolute face, she suddenly said inexplicably, "I feel like I'm in love!"

"Don't go crazy, watch the game seriously!" Paris Hilton gave him a blank look, but his eyes were shining, looking at James, his heart couldn't help beating faster.

Time flows extremely slowly, and no one can truly be as calm as water, calm down and control their emotions.

Is it James who staged a thrilling lore?

Or did the king escape and fight back?
The fans and spectators held their breath, fixed their eyes on the stadium, and refused to look away easily. Their hearts were beating violently, and they were about to jump out. Everyone's hearts were raised, and the air seemed to freeze.

Bang bang bang! !

Hitting the floor, the crisp sound of the basketball hit the hearts of everyone present.

The little emperor James skillfully controlled the basketball and stared at Stojakovic calmly.

Both are small forwards. Strictly speaking, the two can be regarded as the first matchup, and it may also be the last matchup in this game.

The Kings and other players of the Cavaliers opened up the space tacitly, allowing the two core players to compete.

James controls the time, and now there are 10 seconds left!

James dribbled faster, stepped back, adjusted his pace with small steps, bent his waist, and lowered his center of gravity, like a dormant hunter, pounced on his prey at any time.

9 seconds!
8 seconds!
The little emperor James started quickly at 7 seconds, and after driving Stojakovic's center of gravity with a cross dribble, he used his strong body to knock Stojakovic away and forced a breakthrough in the middle.

Stojakovic retreated with James' footsteps, but was knocked over and over, and was about to be successfully broken through.

At this time, Christie suddenly let go of Lin Bai and quickly went to double-team.

Kings play Princeton tactics can be summed up in two maxims, one is: Don't turn your head, or you will open the back door!
In addition to this sentence, another sentence is: strong can take advantage of the weak, and smart can take advantage of the strong.

To put it bluntly, Princeton's tactics emphasize winning by cleverness. How could it be possible for players to present their personal heroes?Just like the cowboys in the west, the two sides turned their backs to each other, and then they drew guns and shot each other?

Don't be so naive!

Seeing that the time is only 5 seconds.

James knocked Stojakovic away with his body, dribbled the ball laterally, pulled the ball up, and was about to make a three-step layup.

It's just that Christie's sudden appearance disrupted James' layup rhythm. However, the arrow was on the string and he had to make it. James could only grit his teeth, rush through everything, and force a layup.

Veratti Divac's eyes flashed cunningly, and he had been waiting for the other party in his heart. He quickly moved into the penalty area, crossed the direction of James, and stood upright.

Bang.

Divac's body was hit hard by a crazy bison, and the fierce impact force fell on him.

The whole person fell backward like a kite with a broken string.

With a bang, Divac was thrown to the floor like a sandbag.

James went on a rampage, and after knocking everything away, he threw the basketball and flew out.

Beep beep beep!
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded!

At the same time, the basketball circled the hoop twice and fell into the hoop. Afterwards, the timer lighted up and the alarm sounded for the end of time.

When the game time is over, everything will be settled.

However, at this time, everyone in the Arco Arena stared blankly at the referee.

"What will be the verdict?"

They were asking in their hearts at the same time.

"It must be overtime. LeBron's previous breakthrough seems to be suspected of walking. Maybe he took four or five steps. Even if he didn't walk, Verratti stood still and was determined to hit someone. !"

A Kings fan shouted loudly, and many audience members nodded in unison.

After all, LeBron James' previous forced breakthrough was really suspected of walking. Even if they were hundreds of meters away, they could vaguely see it clearly. Anyway, the rhythm of the three-step layup is not very good.

"Maybe the little emperor really committed a foul? You can prepare for overtime!"

The coaching staff of the Kings shouted with joy.

Coach Rick - Adelman heart relieved, his face beaming.

In contrast, the Cavaliers are much duller here.

They thought they had won the game. Who would have thought that the Kings would be so insidious. Not only did they double-team, but Veratti Divac also waited for James to dribble the ball into someone. On the floor, it was obvious that shamelessness would be carried to the end.

"Could it be that LeBron really fouled?" The players of the Cavaliers were a little uncertain, or they just didn't believe it.

Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas's face was watery, his eyes fixed on the referee's bench.

The spectators who thought the goal was valid had a smile on their faces, and the players who thought it was a foul had a bit of disappointment on their faces. It can be said that several families are happy and some are sad. Some are responsible for being happy, while others are responsible for being sad.

Seeing that the referee was looking through the video, and the answer was not announced for a long time, it made people wait anxiously. Even James thought he was dribbling into someone when he dribbled the ball.

"The result is out!"

A voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Everyone looked at the referee's stand in unison, and saw the bald head referee walking towards the referee's stand step by step from the video recording room.

The referee put his hands behind his back, stretched out two fingers, and then stretched out a finger with his open hand, signaling Verati Divac, who was wearing the No. 21 jersey, to block the defense. Then, it was determined that James' two-point goal was valid, and, Point to the free throw line for an extra free throw.

Verratti Divac, who was lying on the floor, looked up to see the moment when the referee made a decision.

His face suddenly changed color, and he covered his face in pain, hugging his head and shouting.

How can you do this?

The players and coaching staff of the Kings also turned pale at the same time, and they all stared at the referee in disbelief.

"How could it be Andone? Does LeBron walk? Does he dribble and hit someone?"

Stojakovic's face was a little gloomy. To be honest, he always felt that there was a hand behind everything, whether it was facing the Lakers with Kobe or the Cavaliers with James.

All lost to off-court factors, not by the basketball on the court.

The score on the court was updated in time, 108 to 110.

After the referee's judgment, basically the overall situation of the game has been decided, and the final free throw is no longer important.

The final winner is not their Kings, but the Cavaliers with James.

(Wish you all, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!!)
