NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Zhang Jinshui nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, coach, in my heart, the victory of the game is always the most important thing."

He didn't say anything about not caring about the records. Although he really didn't care in his heart, it always felt fake to say such words.

Van Gundy nodded in relief, and then patted Zhang Jinshui on the shoulder vigorously.

The timeout ends with the referee's whistle.

Zhang Jinshui returned to the field with Yao Ming, McGrady and other teammates.

Although 7 minutes had passed in the third quarter, Van Gundy still put all the main players back on the court, and his intention could not be more obvious, that is, to end the game in the third quarter.

After the game restarted, the Pacers' efficient offense from the second quarter to the present finally began to show signs of being unsustainable.

Artest's breakthrough against McGrady, and O'Neal's hard hit against Yao Ming's defense after passing Swift, all failed.

As for the Rockets, after Zhang Jinshui brought the ball to the frontcourt, he began to hand the ball to Yao Ming on the inside to seduce the opponent's double-team as the first step to break down the opponent's defense.

However, it can be felt that while the opponent was double-teaming, it was obvious that Artest and Stephen Jackson had defensive coverage of Zhang Jinshui's area.

Zhang Jinshui received Yao Ming's points and did not make a strong shot. Instead, he transferred the ball to McGrady, who has a better offensive space, without hesitation.

Helped the latter to complete a pull-up jumper, and went inside to cause a foul by O'Neal, went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

The score on the field also became 77 to 63, and the Rockets have already led by 14 points.

"Zhang Jinshui, these two points are very reasonable!" Van Gundy applauded loudly from the sidelines.

These two goals fully embody the power of the Rockets trident Yao Maishui on the court together.

Yao Ming on the inside had to use double-teams to defend, and Zhang Jinshui, who was hot on the outside, had to take care of both.

It is very rare to be able to defend these two points at the same time, but beside Yao Ming and Zhang Jinshui, there is still a super giant McGrady in the backcourt, how to defend?

In such a situation, the Pacers' game is basically already difficult.

The Pacers fans in the stands were all in deep despair.

It's not just because of losing the game, what's more uncomfortable than that is that they saw the insurmountable gap in strength between their team and the Rockets.

At this time, in the minds of some Pacers fans, the Finals, which they had expected before the start of the season, was more like a ruthless mockery.

On a football forum in Huaguo, far away in the sky, there were also a group of fans who fell into deep despair.

"It's cold, it's cold, the Pacers can't hold it anymore."

"Well, if the game is spent, with Van Gundy's virtue, Zhang Jinshui will probably be put on the bench again. By then, breaking the three-point record will definitely be hopeless."

"The key is that Zhang Jinshui didn't take the initiative to seize the opportunity. Just now, Yao Ming was double-teamed twice in a row and gave the ball to Zhang Jinshui. It was a good shot. But he didn't shoot and passed the ball to the offensive space. Alright Maddie."

"Zhang Jinshui is really serious. If you are sure to win the game, you should start a small fire for yourself. Why do you still play so reasonably?"

"Forget it, let's help the Rockets honestly. Obviously, our Zhang Jinshui is too big to look down on this record."

"Well, although I know that the upstairs is a fool, I can only comfort myself with the remarks upstairs, and honestly help the Rockets cheer."

Immediately afterwards, some poker fans, who were having fun while suffering, changed the subject and began to help Zhang Jinshui open up the situation in new replies.

At this point, there are only 3 minutes left in the third quarter.

The desperate Rick Carlisle continued to keep all the main players on the field.

Artest and Jermaine O'Neal, who were highly motivated, continued to break into the inside of the Rockets on the offensive end, biting down some points tenaciously by hand-to-hand combat, and once chased the score on the court to 69 to 79, and the point difference returned to 10 points again. .

At this moment, Zhang Jinshui received Swift's baseline serve, raised his head, and found a purple light flashed across the Pacers' basket in his sight.

The purple badge [Fu Lin Xinzhi] was triggered.

Zhang Jinshui dribbled the ball straight to the frontcourt without calling a pick-and-roll, without asking his teammates to help him pull away, or even using [Retreat Magic Shot].

He came to a place one and a half steps away from the three-point line. Before Stephen Jackson, who was nearly 15 centimeters taller than him, was on top of him, he jumped straight up and shot a signature ultra-long three-pointer.

The basketball throws a high arc in the air and hits the net with a "swipe".

82 to 69, the point difference of the game returned to 13 points, and Zhang Jinshui hit 11 three-pointers in this game.

The Pacers fans in the stands hugged their heads in despair. Zhang Jinshui's ultra-long three-pointer, which came from nowhere, was really murderous.

The slight counterattack momentum that the Pacers had just ignited was forcibly extinguished by Zhang Jinshui in this way.

Next, the Rockets no longer gave the Pacers a chance. They first blocked Artest and O'Neal's meat grinder-style offense on the defensive end, and then Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady both showed their power, relying on strong inside and outside. Take the score.

With only 35 seconds left in the game, the Rockets led the Pacers by 88 points, 69-19.

Immediately afterwards, the tenacious Artest went inside again to complete a layup.

The score on the field became 88-71.

With 20 seconds left in the third quarter, the Rockets played the last attack.

Zhang Jinshui took the pass from Swift, brought the ball to the front court, and waved Yao Ming and McGrady to the outside line to help him open up space for singles.

At this time, the point difference between the two sides is 17 points. As long as the goal is scored, whether it is 2 points or 3 points, it is enough to declare the end of the game.

In the media area, as long as the photographers with shooting equipment in their hands locked their lenses on Zhang Jinshui, although Zhang Jinshui was still wasting time in front of the middle circle, the flashes were already crackling and flashing non-stop.

In the commentary on the sidelines, the football critics were also excitedly talking about Zhang Jinshui.

"The last attack must be Zhang Jinshui's attack. Do you think Zhang Jinshui will use the signature step-back three-pointer?"

"I hope it is a three-pointer. In this case, we will have the opportunity to witness the miracle of Zhang Jinshui's 12 three-pointers in three quarters."

And far away in Phoenix, Kenny Smith and Big Mouth Barkley, who were live broadcasting the battle between the Suns and the Heat, also learned about the situation in Indianapolis through the mini earphones in their ears during the intermission there.

Kenny Smith announced loudly excitedly: "I just got the news from the director. On another field, the third quarter of the game between the Rockets and the Pacers has not yet ended. Barkley's idol Zhang Jinshui and I have made a shot." He scored 11 three-pointers, which is only one goal away from the highest record in NBA history.

Interested friends can immediately switch to SB TV's paid channel NBA2+ to watch the live broadcast of the game. "

"Hahaha, 11 three-pointers in three quarters, it's a god-level performance, Rahm, do you have anything to say? The Pacers are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, and they are not a big team." Big Mouth Barkley Laughing heartily, he threw the topic to the number one water black in the beautiful country.

Lahm, who was lying on the gun, coughed awkwardly, and said: "Friends who want to watch, turn to NBA2+ as soon as possible, there should be a great chance to witness the birth of a new single-game three-point record.

For viewers who haven’t subscribed to paid channels, don’t worry about the trouble. After switching to the channel, use the remote control to open it in 1 minute, which is very simple and convenient. "

16, 15, 14,

In the Conseco Arena, as the timer passed, Zhang Jinshui started to move.

He took two steps forward and waved to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming led Pacers center Cott Pollard to the left side of the top of the arc, helped Zhang Jinshui block Stephen Jackson, and kept Cott Pollard behind.

Although Kurt Pollard is taller than Stephen Jackson, he moves much slower, which is more suitable for Zhang Jinshui to break through.

The other Pacers players immediately took a step closer to the basket vigilantly.

9, 8, 7,

Zhang Jinshui stared closely at Kurt Pollard's eyes, dribbling the ball continuously with his left and right hands under his crotch, shaking the opponent's center of gravity.

Then, suddenly, he burst past Kurt Pollard's right hand.

He starts off so fast that by the time Cotter Pollard reacts, he's already halfway past Cotter Pollard.

Kurt Pollard immediately tried his best to chase Zhang Jinshui diagonally behind him, but it was too late for naked eyes.

And just when everyone was disappointed that Zhang Jinshui would break into the paint and end the quarter with a layup.

Zhang Jinshui suddenly paused, hugged the ball back with his right hand, and gave up this successful breakthrough.

Then, he jumped up with both hands on the ball, took another huge step back, and stepped back to the three-point line again.

Kurt Pollard wanted to turn back, but his huge figure continued to deviate outwards driven by inertia, and Zhang Jinshui had already thrown him three steps away.

There was no one in front of Zhang Jinshui.

5, 4, 3,

Zhang Jinshui didn't rush to perform [Retreat Step Magic Shot], but took the ball with both hands, looked at the basket, and took a deep breath.

After the yellow on the soles of his feet gradually turned green, Zhang Jinshui jumped high and threw the basketball in an extremely stretched posture.

The fans, commentators, reporters, photographers on the scene, as well as the coaches, players, referees, and staff near the stadium, all focused on the basketball gliding in the air.

Even the fans of the Pacers left the home team's victory and defeat behind at this time.

There is only one thought in everyone's mind, and that is to see if Zhang Jinshui can make this three-pointer and complete the miraculous performance of tying the NBA's single-game three-pointer record in three quarters.

In the end, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and "swiped" into the net with a sound.

In the stands of the Conseco Arena, there was an immediate "boom" sound of exclamation one after another.

The reporters in the media area all jumped up excitedly and couldn't help cheering for Zhang Jinshui.

The football critics in the commentary booth were all blushing, excitedly explaining the magic they had witnessed.

The atmosphere in the arena was so warm that the Rockets players had the illusion that they were playing at the Toyota Center.

With a "beep", the whistle sounded for the end of the third quarter.

91 to 71, Zhang Jinshui helped the Rockets end the third quarter with a 20-point lead and also ended the game.

Yao Ming, McGrady and other Rockets rushed up and surrounded Zhang Jinshui.

"Okay, Jinshui, with 12 three-pointers in three quarters, you will dominate the headlines in the next few days!" Yao Ming said happily, rubbing Zhang Jinshui's head.

McGrady put his arm around Zhang Jinshui's neck, and said with a smile: "Work harder in the fourth quarter, increase the record of three-pointers in a single game to 14 or 5, and let Kobe eat the dust behind your ass, hahahaha."

"Forget it, there should be no suspense about the outcome, and it's meaningless to shoot a few three-pointers in the fourth quarter." Zhang Jinshui smiled and shied away, and returned to the bench with everyone.

After hearing this, all the Rockets players thought that Zhang Jinshui was just evading it casually.

Unexpectedly, when the score reached the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, when Van Gundy beckoned Zhang Jinshui to replace Alstom, Zhang Jinshui shook his head and said to Van Gundy: "Coach, I won the game up."

In a word, McGrady, who was beside him, was startled and opened his sleepy eyes bigger than a copper bell: "Brother, don't joke with me, this is the NBA's historical three-pointer record, you really don't want to break it?"

"Look at the score, and then look at the players on the field. It's really meaningless for me to go up and shoot a few more three-pointers." Zhang Jinshui spread his hands helplessly.

Now the score on the court is 100 to 79, and the Rockets lead by as many as 21 points.

As for the players sent by both sides, except for a few rotation substitutes, the others are all water dispenser administrators who can't even hit the ball.

The quality of this kind of competition is probably at the level of the summer league.

In Zhang Jinshui's view, it is easy to shoot a few three-pointers on the court, but the new record created really has no gold content.

What's more, he has now shared this record with Kobe and Marshall.

"Zhang Jinshui, it's okay. It's not a bad thing to set a new record." Van Gundy waved to Zhang Jinshui again. He was always rigid, and it was rare for him to turn a red light for his lover.

He even worried that Zhang Jinshui was too embarrassed to chase this record because he said too seriously when he paused in the third quarter.

"Coach, I really don't want to go, let me keep a thought for myself, and chase this record next time when I meet a key game." Zhang Jinshui refused with a bitter face, but his expressed attitude was very firm .

Van Gundy nodded and stopped insisting, but his appreciation for Zhang Jinshui grew stronger in his eyes.

What the two of them didn't expect was that the scene of Van Gundy's invitation to Zhang Jinshui but being rejected was being broadcast live across the United States through the camera.
