NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Stevens called a timeout and yelled to the players on the court: "I only want victory, I don't want overtime. A-Lian, you will play pick-and-roll for James in a while, and the rest of the players will all be on the outside. James, you can make your own judgment based on the situation on the court."

Stevens only drew a simple pick-and-roll tactic, and then the rest of the time was for the players to communicate with each other.

As the brain of the team, Harden immediately started communicating with his teammates.

"A-Lian, I need a left pick-and-roll, you need to block my defender!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Then he said to the other three: "Stephen, you play an elevator door tactic at 45 degrees on the weak side, and I will pass it to you if there is a chance!"

The three nodded at the same time to show that they understood, and the timeout time was coming soon.

The Rockets chose to serve the ball in the frontcourt, and Battier gave the ball to Harden. Despite the difficulty, the latter still got the ball.

Outside the three-point line, Pierce was the main defender of Harden. Pierce used a tight defense against Harden. Harden changed direction in advance but hit Pierce's feet, and the basketball went out of bounds again.

6.7 seconds!

The Rockets called the last timeout, a 20-second short timeout. Stevens didn't say much, leaving it to the players to communicate.

Tang Yu watched the TV broadcast outside the court, without any ripples in his heart.

Back on the court again, the time was very tight this time. Harden took advantage of the pick-and-roll of Alian to quickly go around to the left to receive the ball. After getting the ball, Alian was entangled by Perkins and couldn't come up to screen Harden.

At the critical moment, Battier was the player closest to Harden and immediately entered the court to screen Harden.

'Truth' Pierce was blocked and solid. Harden quickly jumped to the left, and Ray Allen rushed over directly. Harden couldn't care about these and shot this desperate shot.

1.3 seconds!

1.2 seconds!

Harden, who was thrown down, didn't expect the referee to blow the whistle, and focused on the trajectory of the basketball.

The entire Aircraft Center watched Harden's shot that determined the fate of his team. The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and went straight to the basket.

Tang Yu also stood up, but at this time he heard a sigh and regretful voice from the stadium.

He knew that the ball went in!

Harden sat on the floor and immediately jumped up, running back to the Rockets bench. The Celtics called a timeout, and there were 0.3 seconds left in the game!

Judgment shot!

105-104!

The Rockets completed the reversal!

All the Rockets players gathered together to congratulate Harden. This ball was really so satisfying. An arrow pierced the heart, making the referee's efforts throughout the game come to nothing.

Tang Yu hurried to the player's tunnel, waiting for the end of the game.

After the timeout, Stevens replaced Yao Ming and Jordan together. The Celtics could only take an alley-oop to have a slight chance.

The twin towers came on the court to put the final nail in their final offense.

Garnett stood at the sideline to serve the ball. Yao Ming stood in front of him and tried his best to interfere. Garnett threw the ball towards the basket. Perkins and Pierce both tried to touch the ball.

Unfortunately, Jordan jumped high in the inside and slapped the ball away with one hand. The game ended immediately when he touched the ball!

The Celtics players were very regretful. They were at a loss at the moment. The failure came too quickly.

The Rockets' bench players rushed into the court and hugged each other tightly.

"We won!"

"We won!"

The players shouted and vented!

Tang Yu walked back to the stadium and hugged his players one by one. Although he sacrificed himself in this game, the team still won the final victory.

"Well done Brad, the arrangement of the last attack is very beautiful!" Tang Yu and Stevens shook hands and hugged each other.

Stevens laughed and said, "Haha, I think this is the choice you want to see. You won't blame me even if it doesn't work!"

"Haha, that's right! Your choice is right!"

The Celtics players stood on the court, waiting for the Rockets players to celebrate and shake hands with them.

The score was 0-3, they all knew what it meant, so they might as well be generous.

Tang Yu also shook hands with the Celtics players, and Ray Allen said to Tang Yu, "Coach, congratulations, this is the victory you deserve!"

"Thank you, this is also a wonderful game, it will be remembered by history!"

Tang Yu emphasized the word "wonderful", and Gentleman Lei naturally understood what Tang Yu meant, but he could only smile bitterly.

The referee has tried his best, but losing is definitely not something he can control.

After hugging all the players one by one, Tang Yu left the court and walked towards the venue for the post-match press conference.

The reporters are all ready, they all know that Tang Yu will definitely use a big move tonight, you know Tang Yu is the ballThe team owner, facing this kind of injustice, according to Tang Yu's character, he will definitely throw some bombshells.

Just as they thought, Tang Yu sat down and immediately started to criticize the referee of this game without asking questions.

"Shit! Such a referee is shit! I will prepare a checkbook, fifty thousand or one hundred thousand? But this matter will not end, I will investigate it to the end!"

Tang Yu threw the Gatorade on the table directly off the stage in anger.

"We only have 16 free throws, and they! 42 times, I have never seen such an exaggerated free throw ratio. Everyone knows James and Stephen's ability to make fouls, but tonight they did not get the respect they deserve! Even a little bit!"

This is not over yet, Tang Yu took a breath and continued: "Fuck, look at the fouls again, we have 33 fouls, and they only have 15! What is this, can it be more obvious?"

These reporters also expected Tang Yu to criticize the referee, but they did not expect it to be so direct, not giving the league any face.

With the data in front of them, the reporters were happy to see Tang Yu's rage, and every moment of Tang Yu's rage was recorded.

A reporter raised his hand to ask a question, and the Rockets press officer called him after seeing Tang Yu nod.

The reporter was also very sensible. He asked: "The Rockets finally won the game. What do you think of James Harden's last shot?"

"I was standing and watching!" Tang Yu said subconsciously.

"Haha!"

Tang Yu's words immediately eased the depressing atmosphere of the entire press conference.

"The out-of-bounds ball at the last moment was forcibly retrieved without a penalty, and James' last shot should have been a 3+1. We did not get the respect we deserved. This is the finals, the game officiated by the best referee in the league! I know we deserved to win, God is watching, and he let James make this judgment shot!"

Remember the key points, the reporter immediately recorded the keyword "judgment shot", they felt that Tang Yu's metaphor was very appropriate, James Harden made this final judgment shot in the face of injustice throughout the game!

Seeing the atmosphere eased, reporters began to raise their hands to ask questions.

"Coach, do you still want to return to your home court to win the championship?"

This question is also interesting, asking what most reporters want to ask.

Tang Yu said with a relaxed expression: "No, I just want to finish this series quickly. We already have three match points in hand, and I'm ready to start planning my vacation!"

Tang Yu, who originally wanted to return to his home court to win the championship, has now given up this idea. It is the most correct choice to quickly end this series.
