Chapter 82 The Last Moment

With 2 minutes left in the game, James held the ball at the top of the arc and made a direct three-pointer.

shhhhh--

In again!
The point difference came to five points, and the Spurs had the ball.

Mu Xiaobei mentioned that the high position made Jeremy Lin a pick-and-roll with the ball. Fortunately, the Spurs' offensive firepower can keep up, otherwise it is very likely that the final stage of the game will be overwhelmed by James alone.

Jeremy Lin went inside and Mu Xiaobei cut outside.

In the final stage of the game, Popovich still took down Mudiay and replaced Jeremy Lin, who has more experience and a better shooting personality.

Mu Xiaobei received the pass from the outside, and Gasol's left waist made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin, but this time Ball saw through the Spurs' routine and chose to squeeze past.

But in this way, there was a delay on Mu Xiaobei's side. Mu Xiaobei got up to shoot a jump shot, and hit a three-pointer on the face of Chandler who hadn't rushed over yet.

"Good shot Mu Xiaobei, this shot is very critical." Wang Meng said.

"Mu Xiaobei's most shots from outside are at the top of the arc. His three-point shots at the top of the arc account for 60.00% of his shots outside the three-point line, and the main ones are the three-point shots from the outside pick-and-roll and receiving the pass from the guard. This The simple tactic is indeed a very frequent tactic used by the Spurs." Li Ke said.

"It's easy to use, great threat, high efficiency, and it's simple, of course it's easy to use." Wang Meng joked.

James is at a 45-degree angle, which is his favorite breakthrough position. Facing Kuzma's defense, he is very cautious because there are only two points difference, but there is one minute and 42 seconds left.

He wanted a pick-and-roll, not an inside line, but a pick-and-roll from Brother Qiu. At this time, it seemed that Brother Qiu was his most trusted teammate and helper.

When James is playing the pick-and-roll, the Spurs generally have to switch defenses, because James's starting speed, explosiveness and acceleration ability are really too strong, even the 34-year-old James is indeed too strong.

Jeremy Lin switched to defending James. James did not immediately attack the inside line in the high position, but sat near the free throw line with Jeremy Lin on his back.

This is the new posture that James has unlocked in the new season. In the past, he always liked to get stuck on the left and right waists. This season, he is more on the center line. box shock.

But no matter how the posture changes, James' turn around is still very fast. Basically no one, no matter whether it is a big man or a small man or facing him, no one can prevent him from turning around.

James turned around to bypass Jeremy Lin's defense, Gasol, Mu Xiaobei and Kuzma shrank to the basket at the same time, James' passing route was tightly blocked.

But with a flick of his wrist, the ball spun into Ingram's hands in the bottom corner. No one knew how he saw Ingram in that place, and the speed at which he passed the ball and the speed at which the ball arrived was also amazing.

Ingram catches and shoots from the corner, bang—

The key three-pointer was missed, it was indeed a very good opportunity, but Ingram missed the three-pointer, because Mu Xiaobei was already shrinking towards the basket, and was already at the basket to block the shot james.

It's a pity, but the opportunity for the Spurs to equalize or even overtake has come.

The Spurs are still passing and cutting outside, pick and roll.

Mu Xiaobei mentioned that the high position made Jeremy Lin a pick-and-roll with the ball. Jeremy Lin went inside, Mu Xiaobei cut outside, and Jeremy Lin used Gasol's off-ball pick-and-roll to slip to the bottom corner after passing back.

Mu Xiaobei catches the ball and shoots the ball, with a knife from outside the three-point line.

咻咻咻—Mu Xiaobei hit another three-pointer, and the Spurs overtook the score!

"Strike Mu Xiaobei, he deserves to be the one who won the three-point contest in his rookie season. The Spurs went ahead by one point, and the Lakers requested a timeout."

Many times we always say that execution is a very critical quality. For example, Mu Xiaobei will not feel that others say that he is a system player is an offense to himself, because it is precisely because the Spurs system has given him a lot of opportunities. Only by developing something that I am very good at can I achieve the current result.

If Mu Xiaobei were to change teams and simply be a blue-collar, it would be very difficult for him to survive in this league, at least he would not be able to achieve a good result soon.

Because Mu Xiaobei is not good at being a blue-collar center forward who is stuck in position and fighting hand-to-hand. His skills on the offensive end are his strongest skills.

And the Spurs have developed what Mu Xiaobei is good at on the offensive end.

For example, the stability of his three-pointers and catch-and-shoot is better than most inside players or even most NBA players.

For example, the last tactic of the Lakers was the tactic of breaking through the ball that James is very good at. Ingram is indeed open, but he just didn't put the ball into the basket. This is the stability of shooting.

This ball can't be said to be James' blame, it's unfair, if you change to a former shooter teammate of James, such as Ray Allen, such as Korver, such as Channing Frye, this ball can probably be scored.

After the game, James still held the ball from the outside, facing Kuzma at a 45-degree angle on the right. This time he didn't call the pick-and-roll, and wanted to choose his own singles.

There was one minute and 20 seconds left in the game, and the point difference was one point. James suddenly accelerated to the basket with the ball, took three steps against Kuzma, and then scored with a throw.

"Good shot James, this shot is very hard." Wang Meng said.

The Spurs changed their tactics, but they still had a pick-and-roll. Gasol made a pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin at the top of the arc. Jeremy Lin used Gasol's pick-and-roll to go directly to the basket. Mu Xiaobei stepped back until he reached the three-point line. Outside, but Jeremy Lin still flicked the ball out.

Chandler can only follow the side of Ingram who was thrown away to help defend, and the bottom corner where Mu Xiaobei is located is a really big open space. Mu Xiaobei received a pass from Jeremy Lin and stabilized for a second After the clock, the outside line shot directly.

shhhhh--

Mu Xiaobei made another three-pointer and scored nine points in a row, widening the gap to two points.

With 44 seconds left in the game, James was holding the ball on the outside, and he had to grab one to ensure that the final attack time was in his hands. James thought, and suddenly accelerated to the basket, Gasol rushed over to help defend, James hit the ground and passed the ball to Chandler, and Chandler was about to dunk the ball.

Snapped--

A very crisp sound rang in the Staples Center. Mu Xiaobei, who had let go of Ingram, had just arrived, and directly behind Chandler's dunk.

"Strike Mu Xiaobei, strike!" Wang Meng said, "Mu Xiaobei's block is very critical, and he boldly let go of his defender."

Mu Xiaobei got the ball and handed it to Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin quickly launched a counterattack. Kuzma also accelerated to the frontcourt.

Snapped--

James also responded with a block, but the ball flew out of bounds, and the Spurs still had the ball.

Popovich watched from the sidelines with his arms folded, and did not call a timeout. Both sides had only one timeout left.

With 38 seconds left in the game, the Spurs were not in a hurry to grab one, but chose to score this one. Because the goal was scored, the Spurs basically won the game, and the next thing was nothing more than a foul by the Lakers, and the Spurs made free throws. The Lakers attack, as long as they don't make mistakes, they should win.
