Chapter 404 Five Embarrassing New Materials
Walton called the last timeout and set up an offensive tactic.

During this period, as the hosts of this All-Star, Lakers owner Jenny Buss and Clippers owner Ballmer walked to the center of the field, and the two took a basketball from the staff, and then the lights focused on the player channel. The fans cheered instantly, and Jordan came.

As the owner of the Hornets, Charlotte is the venue for the next All-Star Game, and Jordan is here to do the relay.He took the basketball from Jenny Buss, shook hands with Ballmer, and the three exchanged brief greetings, and the handover ceremony was officially completed.

When Jordan was off the field, Chong Tianyang waved and shouted: "You must win this game!"

Tianyang didn't know what it meant, but he nodded.

Soon, the 75-second timeout also came to an end.

Under the cheers of the audience, Butler stood on the left sideline and prepared to serve. Davis raised his hands, danced back and forth up and down, left and right, trying to interfere with him in every possible way.

Outside the left paint area, Tianyang and LeBron stand; outside the right paint area, Curry and Durant stand; at the top of the arc, Thompson and Green stand; on the right sideline, stand Harden with Downs.

This is a typical full-court press tactic.

O'Neill put away his smile and said, "The result of this round will determine the result of this game. What do you think?"

Kenny nodded: "The difference between the two teams is only 4 points, but there are only 52 seconds left before the end of the game. Whether Team LeBron defends or Team SkyOcean scores, the game will enter the lore stage."

Barkley stared at the big screen: "If that's the case, it would be too boring. A classic All-Star game should have a more dramatic ending. After the lore, there should be a counter-lore to be good."

As soon as the words fell, the referee blew his whistle, and 8 people on the field started to run.

Tianyang mentioned the elbow area, and at the same time Curry ran diagonally to the left.

As soon as the two met, Tianyang instantly blocked LeBron and Durant, creating an opportunity for Curry to catch the ball.

But Davis reacted quickly enough to give up intercepting Butler and go around to defend Curry.

Seeing that the plan failed, Tianyang immediately ran back to the right, pretending to use Harden who rushed to the free throw line as a cover to slip to the sideline, but in fact he used Harden and Thompson to block and slip to the top of the arc.

At this time, there is only 1 second left in the five-second serve time, and Butler decisively throws the ball to the top of the arc.

Tianyang received the ball, immediately sprinted to the right to get rid of Green, who was switching defenses, and then passed the ball to Harden who retreated to the right sideline.

Harden didn't shoot, but dribbled to the top of the arc, and Tianyang also ran to the right sideline.

This time, Harden really screened for Tianyang and passed the ball hand-to-hand.

Tianyang took the ball again, but did not shoot immediately, but paused slightly. This was completely different from his previous style. Just when everyone couldn't understand, he made a fake move and hit Towns who was changing defense, and then jumped out. Hand three points.

The moment the basketball flew out, the fans' hearts hung in their throats!
"My God!" O'Neill shouted with his head in his hands.

"WOW!" Kenny's eyes lit up.

"ZeZeZe!" Buckley shook his head again and again.

With a bang, the basketball hit the backboard and the referee blew his whistle; followed by another bang, the basketball rebounded and hit the front of the ring; when the third bang sounded, the fans shouted in unison: "yeah!"

If you score a three-pointer, there will be an additional penalty!
Originally, this was nothing. It is common to play three plus one at the end of the game, but it is obvious that Tianyang has a plan long ago, not that kind of temporary reaction, because judging from the replay on the big screen, after he got the ball, The eyes were fixed on Towns for the first time, and it was at that moment that he decided to call Downs a defensive foul.

Amid the shouts of MVP in the audience, Tianyang stood at the free throw line.

Catch the ball, aim at the frame, adjust your posture, shoot, hit!

140 to 140 tied, with only 39 seconds left, Casey requested a final timeout.

No one in LeBron's team expected Tianyang to tie in this way.

Originally, what they thought was that even if Tianyang hit a three-pointer, they could take advantage of the opponent's lack of a timeout and one point, first play a fast break to secure two points, and then defend a wave. Even if they fail to defend, they still have a chance to kill .

But now, even if they attack and score after a timeout, they still face the risk of being killed.

Things suddenly got serious for Team LeBron.

On the Lakers bench, Walton held a tactical board and shouted: "Their advantage is scoring inside, but don't forget, they also have LeBron, Durant, Green, Towns who can shoot three-pointers, so after the timeout is over , we insist on man-to-man, and switch defenses in time when encountering pick-and-rolls. If it really doesn't work, we can put two points!"

Everyone in the SkyOcean team nodded after listening to it. They really wanted to guard against Team LeBron's three-pointer.

...

In a blink of an eye, the last timeout of the game ended and the game continued.

Davis stood on the right sideline to serve, probably because of the large height gap, but Barrett gave up the interception directly, and turned to Curry to block Durant from receiving the ball.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the advantage of LeBron's tall stature was fully reflected. Towns and Green blocked it casually, helping LeBron catch the ball at the top of the arc, and Tianyang couldn't get around it, so he had to Harden will switch defenses!

But Harden can't prevent it!

Thinking of what Wharton said during the timeout, Harden posted it forward, not letting go.

But at that thought, LeBron hesitated for a moment and ignored it. He directly pulled the ball back and made a three-pointer!
Swish, the basketball went into the net hollow, 143 to 140, with 34 seconds left before the end of the game.

Team LeBron regained the initiative, and Team SkyOcean had to serve in the backcourt before a timeout, and even if they scored, even if they scored a three-pointer, Team LeBron still had at least 10 seconds to organize an attack!
But for the Tianyang team, the biggest difficulty is what tactics to play!
Whether it is to grab points to buy time to fight defense, or something else, someone needs to stand up and make a decision!
Fortunately, the five players of the SkyOcean team are smart enough. Curry, Thompson, Harden, and Butler all looked at SkyOcean.

The four seem to be saying: "We listen to your arrangement!"

Tianyang nodded. He knew that this was the trust he gained in exchange for two blocks and one steal at the end of the second quarter!

After making up his mind, Tianyang stepped forward to pick up the basketball and walked to the bottom line.

The fans at the scene were quite surprised, and the three of O'Neal were also very puzzled. Shouldn't he catch the ball?
But his teammates understood in seconds. Except for Curry who stopped in the backcourt, the other three stood on the left sideline, the middle circle, and the right sideline respectively. In an instant, the advantage of LeBron's players was minimized.

Of course, the key point is that Tianyang is the one who can pass the ball best.

Seeing Tianyang walk to the bottom line, the four of Curry ran wildly, and Durant 'dancing' in front of Tianyang.

Tianyang kept a close eye on the movement changes on the field, and at the last second, he passed the ball long to the left sideline!
Butler successfully received the basketball, and it was brought to the right wing like a gust of wind, but he failed to shake Davis away after changing directions quickly in succession, so he could only stop and wait for his teammates to get in position.

Tianyang rushed to the top of the arc from the backcourt, butler immediately passed the ball and stepped forward to cover.

Tianyang took the opportunity to dribble the ball to the right wing, hit the big one, and singled out Davis.

Considering that Barrett's rapid change of direction just now failed to gain advantage, Tianyang resorted to Pierce's breakthrough trick, combining speed and slowness. After several rhythm changes, he successfully stunned Davis and made a steady three-pointer.

Swish, hit a three-pointer, 143 to 143 draw, 12 seconds left before the end of the game.

The moment the ball was scored, the other four looked at Tianyang again, waiting for the next instruction.

But Towns has already picked up the basketball and retreated to the bottom line. There is no time to communicate and can only be man-to-man.

As before, Durant and Green blocked a random block, LeBron received the basketball smoothly, and directly activated the tank mode and rushed to the frontcourt. Tianyang chased all the way to the center line, tried to steal and failed, and decisively fouled!
This is a bold gamble. Even if LeBron hits two free throws, he still has a chance to win or tie for overtime.

Amidst the boos of the audience, LeBron smiled and stood at the free throw line with 8 seconds left in the clock.

The first penalty was hit, and the fans cheered wildly.

He hesitated for a while before taking the second free throw.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced up, a smile appeared on his face, Green and Davis were also eager to try to grab the rebound, but the next second, the basketball fell into the rim!

While the basketball was still in the air, Tianyang and Curry had retreated to the center line.

Butler picked up the basketball and made a long pass. Curry received the ball and divided it.

On the LeBron team, only Durant reacted, but he was defending Curry, far away from Tianyang.In this way, Tianyang rushed to the basket with the ball, and continued to pass the time in circles. Before Durant rushed to his side, he made a steady shot.

During this period, except for Durant, everyone else was watching from behind...

With 2 points hit, the Tianyang team led 145 to 144, with only the last 2 seconds left.

Even so, the Tianyang team still defended with all their strength.

Durant served from the bottom line, and LeBron caught the ball and dribbled two steps for a super long three-pointer.

Three do not stick!Tianyang team won the game!
O'Neill laughed dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "I guessed the result, but I didn't expect the process to be so funny, and the five big jitters have new material..."

Kenny clapped his hands and laughed: "This is the charm of competitive games, always full of surprises!"

Barkley nodded: "Tianyang's goal explained why basketball is always dominated by big men, but the No. 1 in history is Jordan, a shooting guard, not a center or a forward!"
