Chapter 84 Christmas War ([-])

Eastern Christmas War theater.

Halfway into the fourth quarter, the situation of the battle is still unclear. The two sides played ups and downs.

At the 4th minute of the fourth quarter, the situation on the field suddenly turned upside down. When the battle was getting tense, Lin Bai was the first to stand up.

The score at that time was 95 to 94, and the Cavaliers were only one point ahead. However, the Magic resisted tenaciously and used their mobility on the field to prevent the Cavaliers from sticking to it. They almost defended the Cavaliers for 24 seconds.

However, Lin Bai used his superb off-the-ball running skills to make an open three-point shot, catch the ball and shoot, and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

Outside the arena, all the audience stared wide-eyed, clenched their fists involuntarily, raised their nervous hearts, and stared closely at Lin Bai's shot.

Outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, Lin Bai catches the ball, taps it, and swings towards Gudeng, takes a step sideways, and immediately bends his knees and jumps up. His long body blooms like a flower in the air.

A series of hand-felt numbers flashed across the eyelids.

71…82…63…81…76……

Lin Bai catches the ball, touches it, jumps up, and shoots. The whole movement does not stagnate at all, and the rhythm is very stretched. At the moment when the number 82 jumps out, Lin Bai does not hesitate at all, and immediately pulls the basketball away.

The soft touch is as smooth as silk, and the shooting movement of the whole person is very elegant, a little like the style of McGrady's jumper at that time, but Lin Bai's shooting is very standard, and the whole shooting movement is like a textbook, calm and unhurried.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air.

There was a clear and crisp sound of wiping the net, and the basketball hit the net in response, with a burst of beautiful water splashes.

A three-pointer goes through the heart,

98 to 94! !
With Lin Bai's three-pointer, the Cavaliers temporarily lead the Magic by 4 points.

"With a bang, Lin Bai hit the buzzer with a big heart and hit a crucial three-pointer!!"

On the commentary stage, with surprise on his face, Barkley said loudly in an incredible tone: "This three-pointer is too critical! It came too timely! Let's watch the replay and see the Cavaliers' wonderful coordinated goal James organized the frontcourt, Lin Bai subsidized the defense, immediately cut to the basket, slipped the baseline, here, Ilgauskas completed a deadly assist, he cleverly closed the door with his body, and firmly locked Rhodes -Strickland, block the defense.

Lin Bai ran out of the open space smoothly, received the pass from James, tapped it, swayed to Gooden, who was jumping up to change defenses, moved a step sideways, shot a three-pointer jumper, and made a steady hit, breaking the anxious deadlock between the two teams. Now , The situation on the court is very favorable for the Cavaliers. "

Kenny Smith nodded, and said solemnly: "That's true. This three-pointer may be the key goal that determines the outcome of this game. The Cavaliers scored a three-pointer at the buzzer, and their morale will definitely go up." The next goal will be the one that determines whether the Magic can grasp the hit. If it is not scored, the situation will be very difficult for the Magic.

How will McGrady, the head star of the Magic, respond?Please watch the game. Rod Strickland dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed the basketball to McGrady. McGrady received the ball in the middle and faced the frame, posing in a three-threat pose.

Maddie paused for a moment. Suddenly, the ball was lifted up. Is this about to shoot?It's still a fake move to break through..."

On the basketball court, McGrady, who was holding the ball in the middle, suddenly lifted the ball over the top, made a three-pointer with a pull-up jumper, and shot a three-pointer.

James was a little dumbfounded!The choice of attacking the ball is too random, too simple, and too rough, right?

It's just that, facing the sudden dry three-pointer, James' reaction was a bit slow. When he came back to his senses, it was too late when he rushed to interfere with the eye-closing.

McGrady's shot point is very high, and he used the rhythm to catch James by surprise. The three-point shot was not disturbed. The arc of the basketball in the air was very straight. Under everyone's attention, the basketball bang, bang On a basketball, bounce out.

The three-pointer missed, McGrady's expression remained unchanged, and he retreated to the half court unhurriedly to defend.

Ilgauskas and Boozer at the basket saw the basketball deflected, and immediately stuck their positions and controlled the rebound. Boozer jumped lightly, took off the basketball, passed it to James who came to meet him, and quickly dribbled the ball forward , hit a quick counterattack.

McGrady has excellent defensive experience, and his witty approach and entanglement made James unable to get rid of it and increase his speed.

Lin Bai was also defended closely by Rod Strickland, who did not give open shots. Boozer pulled to the side to help Lin Bai cover and get rid of the defense. Rod Strickland easily completed it Go around and follow Lin Bai closely, not giving an inch.

In the low position on the left, Ilgauskas and Gooden are also entangled. Gooden defends close to the front, squeezing Ilgauskas with his body, and does not give the possibility of single-handedly receiving the ball.

Outside the bottom corner of the three-pointer, Kapono was also firmly marked by Jill, locked on the left side, unable to move.

In the middle, James protected the ball behind his back and observed that his teammates could not easily break through the defense and get an easy opportunity to attack.

Take a deep breath, take two steps back, turn around and dribble facing the frame.

James decided to single out McGrady, using a powerful singles offense to smash the Magic's defense.

bang bang bang...

The rhythm of the basketball hitting the floor continued to accelerate. James stepped down and dribbled the ball continuously. McGrady lowered his center of gravity and assumed a defensive posture.

James suddenly accelerated, leaned against McGrady, forced a breakthrough, knocked away McGrady's defense, took a step with his right foot, took a step sideways, and made a crab step, domineering, and scored a three-pointer.

Rolling into the inside, James immediately pulled the ball up, and when the Magic's defense did not form a siege, he rode a horse and shot an arrow, and made a long-distance throw.

With a bang, the arc of the throw was very high, and the basketball bounced out of the frame and missed.

James took advantage of the trend, rushed to the basket, jumped up, and took off the offensive rebound strongly like a god descending from the earth.

At this moment, the advantage of James' wide vision is undoubtedly revealed. Instead of choosing to force the shot, he points the ball beyond the three-point line.

At 75 degrees to the right, Lin Bai ran around without the ball, got rid of the defense, and when he got the ball, he jumped up immediately.

This is an open three-pointer, and the Magic saved the ball, but it was too late.

A series of hit rate values ​​appeared in front of him.

18…25…31…43…16……

The corner of Lin Bai's mouth twitched, and his hands trembled a little. His strong adaptability made him hug the basketball, and he made an overhead pass directly to the basket.

At this time, the Magic, who jumped out to defend, actually emptied James under the basket.

After catching the ball easily and taking a dribble, James jumped up, his body stretched in the air, and his powerful bounce made his head almost flat.

With a bang, he slammed the basketball into the basket.

One-handed tomahawk split button!
Easy dunk, 100 to 94! !
When it landed, James aggressively beat his chest and celebrated passionately. He played this ball very vigorously.

Off the court, the fans booed everywhere, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the Magic.

The time was only more than 3 minutes, and the Magic team was 6 minutes behind. The head coach could only call a short timeout, intending to interrupt the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm and momentum.

Walking back to the Cavaliers coaching bench, James took the initiative to congratulate Lin Bai. Both sides gave thumbs up and praised with a smile:
“Great pass!!”

"Full dunk!!"
