Chapter 177 Best of the Year

After the timeout, Cole changed his defensive tactics. In addition to Iguodala's leading defense, Durant's first supplementary defense and Thompson's first auxiliary defense, such a crazy arrangement was only to limit Tianyang.

In the first two rounds, Tianyang was extremely uncomfortable and almost lost the ball twice.

Fortunately, Wharton made adjustments in time and directly used high-position double gears, or even third gears to break through.

In this way, the tactics of the two teams will be handed over to each other, and the competition will be based on execution efficiency and personal ability.

The Warriors want to win, and the Lakers don't even want to lose. Both teams are working hard and playing the game gritted their teeth.

Tianyang didn't worry about how many points to get, but gave full play to the characteristics of "full effort + reasonable division", flexibly switching between offense and pass, which made the Warriors exhausted and unable to defend at all.

But the Lakers couldn't defend the Warriors either. After Dooku's pick-and-roll, he either rushed to shoot or break through the ball. Tianyang and Randall ignored their heads.

This situation lasted until the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter. Tianyang took off from the top of the arc and slammed a pass. Nance caught the ball in the paint area and violently dunked. The Lakers trailed 118 to 120 by 2 points, and the game entered an official timeout.

The voices of the fans at the scene were almost hoarse, but they still cheered loudly.

Denzel Washington came to Kobe again, pointed to the data on the big screen and said, "Tianyang only scored 7 points in the first half, and scored 27 points in more than one quarter in the second half. Now it has 34 points and 24 assists, leading the team and the Warriors. The fight is inextricable, you should be happy, why are you unhappy?"

Kobe shook his head, "Because the situation is not good, Curry currently has 11 three-pointers, and his hit rate remains high. The Lakers can't prevent it. In case... that day, the super double-double will become a foil."

Denzel nodded, he understood what Kobe meant.

Curry has already scored 46 points. Maybe he broke the record and won the game. At that time, Tianyang's data will become as embarrassing as Griffin dunking Gasol one after another and Bynum losing the game. .

The timeout ended in a blink of an eye, and the game continued between the two teams.

The Warriors attacked first, Curry dribbled the ball across half court, made a pick-and-roll with Durant at the top of the arc, and then went to the right with the help of a screen.Randall switched defenses and chased after him, always keeping a small half-step distance, giving neither hand space nor a chance to break through.

But Curry was also quite patient, leading Randall from the top of the arc to the right wing, and then back to the top of the arc, without any expression on his face eager to break the single-game three-point record.

In the end, Curry actually chose to pass the ball 45 degrees to the left.

There are only 3 seconds left in the attack time, Durant catches the ball and pulls up, Tianyang flies to block.

Of course, he couldn't block the shot, but he thought that Durant didn't shoot, but split the ball in the air and passed it back to Curry.

At this time Randall has turned around and is about to rush to the basket to grab the rebound.

Curry snapped a three-pointer!

The strength was a bit stronger, but luck was so good that he hit the board and bounced into the net.

The No. 12 three-pointer in this game is only one short of breaking the NBA single-game three-pointer record.

Remorseful, Randall slapped his thigh hard.

Tianyang stepped forward and waved his hand at him, signaling that he didn't need to blame himself, then took advantage of the opportunity to catch the pass from Nance, turned around and dribbled forward.

At the top of the arc, Randall blocked Iguodala, Tianyang strode across to the left, and Durant arrived in a blink of an eye.

Tianyang suddenly stopped to pull the ball, trying to shake his center of gravity.

But Durant seemed to have expected it a long time ago, twisting his body abruptly, and stood firmly in front of him.

If it doesn't work once, come back a second time!
Tianyang changed direction again
Durant is still holding on!The corners of the mouth are still slightly raised.

It's better to just pull it out!

Tianyang received the ball and took off in a two-stage shooting action.

Durant jumped high, tall and long, covering all sides.

But Tianyang had expected it a long time ago. He raised his hands above his head and pressed down on the ball with his fingers until the highest point.

Even so, Durant's fingers touched the basketball slightly.

Fortunately, the flight trajectory of the basketball has not been greatly affected, and it is still hollow into the net.

All the fans let out a sigh of relief.

The Warriors attacked, Curry caught the ball in the backcourt, and Tianyang interfered in advance.

Curry didn't need to cover, relying on his personal skills, he rushed all the way to the frontcourt.

The two chased after each other, and when they reached the three-point line, Curry suddenly stopped, and Tianyang was swayed away without paying attention.

All the fans and Tianyang secretly thought it was bad.

But Curry didn't make a shot, but passed the ball vigorously, assisted Green in the paint, and easily turned around and scored a layup.

The Lakers attacked, Tianyang caught the ball and ran wildly in the backcourt, and Iguodala chased desperately.

Rushing to the right wing, Iguodala was a bit behind, Thompson stepped forward to help defend, and Tianyang immediately scored the ball.

Ingram received the ball and adjusted his posture, and took a three-pointer calmly.

The shot hit the iron, but fortunately Randall fought hard, caught the offensive rebound, landed and passed again.

Tianyang received the ball from the right wing, switched to the left hand, and quickly moved to the top of the arc. Iguodala followed closely,

As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating, when it reached 45 degrees, Tianyang suddenly stopped to pull the ball.

Iguodala's defense is very good, but he has been staring at the whole game, and he can't be as flexible as Durant. He can only bend over, put his hands on his knees, and watch Tianyang rush to the inside.

Durant stepped forward to defend, and Tianyang scored again.

Ingram received the ball from the right corner and faked Thompson.

A three-pointer was shot and hit. The difference between the two teams was only 1 point, and there were only 58 seconds left before the end of the game.

Tianyang gave Ingram a high-five to celebrate. He thought that Green would immediately retreat to the bottom line and pass a long pass to Curry.

After all, the two are still young and inexperienced, so they celebrated even for a second, which directly made the Warriors play a fast break.

On the Lakers side, only Randall, Nance, and Lu Wei reacted.

The three were chasing wildly, but the Warriors passed the ball one after another, and it was too late to make a foul to stop it.

In the end, Tianyang and Ingram felt that they could not stop Curry from making a move.

The basketball went into the net, and Curry hit the No. 13 three-pointer in the game, breaking the historical record.

This is nothing, but with only 50 seconds left in the game, the Lakers missed a timeout and fell behind by 4 points.

The form is extremely urgent!
Tianyang turned to look at Wharton on the sidelines, who nodded at him, meaning 'you can figure it out'.

With permission, Tianyang immediately signaled the audience to disperse their positions, and he retreated to the center line by himself.

After the players of the two teams moved frequently, Tianyang used Ingram to cover and received a long pass from Nance on the right sideline.

He landed and didn't dribble, but immediately passed to Ingram.

Durant and Thompson arrived in no time, and Ingram took two steps to pass the ball again.

But Tianyang was in a bad position and was blocked by Iguodala, so he had to pass it to Randall.

Randall took the ball and passed Curry and Green one after another, but after rushing to the three-point line, Durant and Thompson stopped him again. He could only choose to pass back.

Ingram received the ball, hesitated a little, Tianyang made a loud reminder before making a decisive 3-pointer.

Hit!The point difference between the two teams came to 1 point again, and there were 35 seconds before the end of the game.

After suffering a loss, Ingram didn't dare to be careless, and immediately turned back to defend, and Tianyang also ran directly to Curry.

Cole does not call a timeout, and Curry does not call a screen. He has been using a variety of techniques such as dribbling behind the back, changing hands under the crotch, one fast and one slow, etc., to control the ball outside the three-point line against Tianyang's defense, which consumes time .

After waiting for 20 seconds, Curry greeted Durant to step forward to pick and roll.

Randall switched defenses quickly, but it was still too late to block Curry's shot.

No. 14 three-pointers were hit, and the Warriors led by 4 points again, with only 15 seconds left in the game.

Walton called for a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Tianyang unexpectedly stood on the right sideline to serve.

The referee whistled, and Randall, Ingram, and Lu Wei, who were standing on the right wing, started rolling one after another.

The three who ran first provided cover for those who ran later, and finally Lu Wei reached the top of the arc.

No defense!

At the same time, Tianyang passed the ball into the court.

But it was not passed to Lu Wei, but to Nance in the right corner, who had just circled forward to block Green.

After passing the ball, he ran into the field, stood on the right wing to receive a pass back from Nance, and made a 3-pointer against Curry.

Hit, 40 points, only 13 seconds left in the game.

Cole still don't pause!

Green passed Durant from the bottom line, and Durant passed Curry from the three-point line in the backcourt.

Curry passed Thompson from the center line, and Thompson passed Iguodala from the right wing in the frontcourt.

Iguodala and the top of the arc dribbled away from Ingram's foul and went straight to the basket.

In the last 8 seconds, Tianyang went to the basket at high speed and hugged Iguodala.

The referee whistles, foul!
In desperation, Iguodala made two free throws.

The Warriors still led by three points, with only 8 seconds left, but the Lakers did not pause.

But Tianyang seemed to have a plan in mind. He directed Ingram to serve from the bottom line, and he ran to the center line.

Ingram shook the ball back and forth with both hands, and Tianyang suddenly started from the center line.

The Warriors didn't care about their face, Durant, Iguodala, and Green directly stepped forward to surround Tianyang.

Tianyang received the ball, strode forward two steps, and directly shot a three-pointer.

The audience was silent, because everyone was dumbfounded!
What is this operation?
Cole reacted the fastest, jumping to remind the Warriors to chase.

Because after Tianyang threw the ball, he kept his feet on the ground and rushed to the front court like a whirlwind.

He didn't even think about hitting a three-pointer in the backcourt, but he was afraid that the Warriors would foul early.

At that time, even if he made two free throws, he would be one point short, and the Lakers did not have a timeout, and lost 100%.

Although it is too difficult to hit a three-pointer in the backcourt, it is relatively easy to hit the board.

He rushed all the way to the frontcourt, picked up the rebound that rebounded and flew upside down, and accelerated to the right wing.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and tilted his head to avoid the interference of Durant's flying pounce, but he slammed straight into Iguodala, who took off and blocked the block, and shot a three-pointer at the same time.

The referee blows the whistle, hits a three-pointer, and gets an extra penalty.

The live DJ took the lead, and the shouts of MVP rang through Staples.

Tianyang made an extra penalty and only 1 second remained.

Kerr finally called a timeout.

After a timeout, Durant served from the right sideline, and Curry caught the ball in two steps from the three-point line.

At the same time, Green suddenly fell to the ground.

It's a pity that the referee ignored Green's flop after hitting the iron with a three-pointer.

At the end of the game, the Lakers narrowly beat the Warriors by 134 point 133 to 1.

In the TNT commentary seat, O'Neal stood up and raised his arms, "I declare that this game is the best game of the year!"

　To be honest, I wanted to write an overtime one. . .
