Chapter 534: The Winner is King
The two physical guys exploded each other in different positions, and the Hawks still relied on the lead in the first half of the third quarter to end the quarter at 24:30. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At 83:89, the Hawks couldn't finish the third quarter at home, and the six-point advantage wasn't enough to get them out early.
The calamity of the 76ers did not have the slightest intention of giving up.
Despite losing a big player and sacking a coach this season, the team quickly adjusted their form, and judging by their mental state, this is still a powerhouse in the East that is expected to make the playoffs.
Halfway through the schedule, teams that could cause trouble for the Hawks in the future have gradually surfaced.
Needless to say, those guys who are designated to be bad are the real powerhouses who know that they are not opponents and still want to fight the defending champions to the end.
The first brother scored 12 points, 4 assists, and 1 board in a single quarter, while Ruan Erniu scored 14 points and a quasi-double-double of 9 rebounds.
But the past is over, and now both sides must focus on the end.
On the offensive end of the 76ers, Lowe held the ball from the outside, Speights stepped up to cover, Lowe broke through with the ball, and misplaced and Chris Anderson.
The Birdman's defense was quite tight, and Lowe didn't have any chances, so he had to pass the ball back to Speights in the high post.
Speights faced Dragic's defense with a long-range mid-range shot......
Hit!
Speights' style of play is obviously quite different from his looks and size, his finishing ability under the basket is quite average, but his shooting from mid-to-long range is very reliable, and once he finds his touch, he is simply the god's existence of the team.
And tonight, it seems that God has really come.
It's Lowe again, it's the same offensive routine again, and the ball is in Speights' hands again.
The height of the claw machine has an advantage in point guards, and in the face of an interior player like Speights, it has become a standard misalignment.
Speights threw his shot almost in the same position, and hit again!
It's hard for people who don't look closely at the NBA to imagine that a stout player like Speights could have the heart of a pitcher, but the truth is, he can really shoot.
The rookie, who was picked 16th in the first round this year, has a 50.2 percent shooting percentage, and his shooting hotspots are all concentrated outside 15 feet except for the rebound under the basket.
Woodson was also confused, he should have called a timeout immediately to interrupt Speights' explosive shooting, but he clearly didn't believe that a role player could be so accurate, and then, Speights made the Hawks pay enough.
"Brush!", "Brush!", "Brush!"
Speights scored 10 points on 5-of-5 shooting in the first 3 minutes of the final quarter to help the 76ers directly overtake the score.
TIME-OUT!
The Eagles are stopped!
Because they were shot by a rookie named Maris Speights!
Before this, Ruan Erniu had already played in advance, and then Speights, who felt hot, completed a difficult backward jumper in front of Erniu, such a brave state made people speechless.
To add insult to injury, Misery's hand was desperately cold during this period, he only made 1 of 6 shots and scored 2 points from the free throw line.
Erniu must step up at this time, because the team leader has no way out at the moment.
And the Celestial Empire did not live up to the expectations of the head coach and the team.
On the offensive end of the Hawks, Ruan Erniu held the ball in a high position, and easily passed Speights' defense with an acceleration, and Reggie Evans, who made up the defense, had not had time to come forward to block, Ruan Erniu had already flown into the air one step ahead of time, and completed the score with a gliding split.
Compared to Speights' sudden explosion on the offensive end, this guy is also an ATM-like existence on the defensive end, and his movement speed is too slow!
Such an obvious weakness, if Erniu can't grasp it, he is not qualified to compete for the regular season MVP.
Speights once again caught up with the two bulls and wanted to shoot, but the Celestial Empire increased the defensive intensity and fought hard in front of Speights.
Speights was not the main force of the team after all, and he didn't dare to force his shot, so he had to distribute the ball to Thaddeus Young.
The latter made a three-point shot and missed!
Erniu won the backcourt rebound and immediately made a long pass to the frontcourt, Bibby did not waste this opportunity, and flashed Miller's defense with a feint in the counterattack, and scored 2 points with a pick-and-roll.
After a few rounds, the Hawks gradually overtook the score.
But the margin between the two sides hovered between 2-4 points, with Andre Iguodala and Thaddeus Young hitting three-pointers in quick succession.
On the Eagles' side, Salmons and Ruan Erniu also scored points one after another, and the two teams bit it to the death.
The game went into the final three minutes.
At 100:102, the Hawks only led the opponent by 2 points, and the ball was still in the hands of the 76ers.
Mei Guo Mo Wenwei was not soft at the last moment, and after getting rid of Bibi's defense with the help of blocking and dismantling, she retreated and jumped in the face of the lunar eclipse's supplementary defense, and hit!
At 102:102, the tenacious 76ers tied the score.
On the offensive end of the Hawks, Ruan Erniu held the ball in the low post, and Daillam Porter replaced Speights, who had a poor defense, and was close to Erniu's back.
Ruan Erniu is going to win in the low position!
After leaning on his back, Erniu took the opportunity to cut out, and a half-turn took a tentative step, and Daimpoter immediately took a step back to prevent Erniu from rushing into the penalty area.
That's all it takes.
Ruan Erniu immediately leaned back, calmly pulled the basketball in his hand, and sent the basketball out with soft force.
In the low post, the Celestial Bull Demon King will always have 10,000 ways to put the ball in the basket, and when you guess the 10,000th way, he will put the ball in 10,000 ways!
"Boom!"
The basketball slammed in front of the basket, but the soft shot eventually landed the ball in the net.
At 102:104, the Hawks continued to maintain their lead.
For the next two plays, the two sides went their separate ways, but then the Eagles hit a crucial 3-pointer from Salmons in the middle of the game.
At 102:107, the Hawks have seen an opportunity to win.
But the 76ers were still unwilling to admit defeat, Iguodala held the ball, a fierce man entered the penalty area, Ruan Erniu, Lunar Eclipse, Embarrassing Son, Salmons four people contracted the defense at the same time, firmly locked the hinterland.
A JUMP PASS, THE BALL GOES TO MILLER ON THE OUTSIDE, AND MILLER SENDS A MOLOOKPASS.
It was Thaddeus Young, the unguarded Thaddeus Young shot from beyond the three-point line and hit!
At 105:107, 76 people said they just wouldn't throw in the towel.
In the next two rounds, both teams each made a break to make a kill, and Sen and Yi Ge each executed free throws and hit.
107:109, but there are only 47 seconds left in the game.
The managers of both teams did not even call a timeout, this is to let the players decide the outcome themselves!
Ruan Erniu once again held the ball in the low post, this time he wanted a deep position, and Haitian Daim Potter couldn't stop Erniu's brute force at all.
Erniu turned around and pulled out the basket directly, but the first brother flew up, his defense was too timely, and Erniu, who flew into the air, obviously noticed that someone wanted to cap him.
A goal that must be scored, Erniu forcibly put the ball into his arms by virtue of his bounce height, dodged the first brother's supplementary defense, and threw the ball out before falling, missing!
The basketball popped out of the frame, and Ruan Erniu jumped for the second time to start an aerial battle with Durham Porter, and the two touched the basketball almost at the same time.
Ruan Erniu's waist and abdomen suddenly exerted force, and his hands were strongly clenched, and the Haitian was a two-handed slam dunk at a time.
"Boom!"
Once again, Durham Potter was the backdrop for the Celestial Empire, flying diagonally off the baseline and sliding across the floor for a while, stopping only to know that his back had hit the pads of the basket.
Ruan Erniu completed this fatal slam dunk!
107:111, Hawks victory in sight!
The 76ers failed to bet on three points, but were heavily defended by the Hawks, and had to score a meaningless layup with Miller.
Erniu smartly didn't step forward to foul, he sent a baseline ball and handed it to the embarrassed Sen.
Embarrassed Sen was fouled, and then he was under great pressure and hit all 2 free throws!
109:113, the Eagles have a chance to win!
The 76ers missed their final shot and the game was over.
The Hawks failed to deliver the expected big win at home, playing hard against the 76ers and winning the tough game by just four points.
But the practical significance of this one victory is better than 10 massacre victories.
