Chapter 216: 0.5 seconds
Shaq tried several times in a row but didn't find a good way, and seeing that he was about to violate the rule in three seconds, Shaq could only make a hurried shot, and the result can be imagined, the basketball bounced twice on the frame and was still taken into the arms of Big Ben.

The Lakers' offense was frustrated, the Pistons' side was more blossoming, Atkins, Collis, and Grant Hill all shot on the outside, and soon the Lakers' accumulated advantage was in vain.
With a minute and a half left before the end of the game, the two sides were tied at 82:82. Lamar only made one shot in that time, hitting a three-pointer, and spent the rest of his time playing for his teammates.
The managers of both sides tacitly called a timeout in a row to give their players more time to rest.
"How do you feel now?" Every time the game came to such a tense moment, Phil Jackson couldn't help but pin his hopes on Shaq.
Just like when he was in the Bulls, he would always find Michael Jordan as soon as possible at every critical moment!
Shaq smiled slightly: "I've never felt so good!"
Soon after the start of the fourth quarter, he began to use the energy he had maintained to prepare for the final moments, and now is the time when he has decided to take the game.
Phil Jackson nodded and began to make last-minute tactical arrangements: "Haber, you replace Lamond, everyone stands a little more open, pull the opponent's people to the outside as much as possible, cover Shaq, and hand over all the balls to Shaq to handle!"
"Shaq, you get as close to the basket as possible and then shoot, to ensure the success rate, Lamar, Kobe, the rebound will be handed over to you, the opponent's new Collis rebound can't do it, this is your chance, I am deadly resisted, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Great! Remember that the victory belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers, kids, go and fight! Boys, you're going to be the hero of the whole city tonight. "The game was so tense that even Phil Jackson couldn't help but say morale-boosting words.
"Let's go!" the victory belonged to Los Angeles, and the first one stood up and walked onto the field.
Coming up was Pistons core player Grant Hill.
His expression was extraordinarily cold, probably because he didn't expect this game to be so difficult to play, and the Lakers would be so strong, especially when Joe Smith was sent off, and Stackhouse was tired and hadn't recovered until now, which made the burden on his shoulders heavier.
"The final showdown?"
"That's right! ”
After a brief exchange between the two, they returned to their respective positions and prepared for the game, and the Pistons served, and the opportunity to master the offense was already the last advantage for them.
Lamar stood in front of Grant Hill, as Shaq usually taught, and lowered his body and spread his arms. Whether it really worked or not, he was still doing his best to defend.
Looking at Ciel's determined eyes, Lamar knew that now Ciel's was ready to move seriously, but this not only did not make Lamar feel the slightest worry, on the contrary, he felt a blood boiling in his bones!
From entering the league to the present, Lamar has really encountered only Tim, Kevin, Chris and other opponents, as for Rashid, now Lamar is still sure and experienced.
And the person in front of him today, although there is a difference in position, but his strength, brain, and his calmness are definitely qualified as Lamar's opponent.
Hill suddenly started, quickly appeared in front of Lamar's eyes, he didn't seem to want to slow down at all, only to see him quickly move sideways, and then his right hand quickly held the ball to his chest, held the basketball with his left hand, raised the ball high above his head, and jumped out without hesitation. I can only watch Hill make a move.
What surprised Lamar even more was that the usual shot is to wait until the ball reaches the highest point before throwing, but Bihill doesn't seem to be like this, it seems that as soon as the ball is lifted for a while, the ball is immediately shot without the slightest hesitation.
"Huh!"
There was a pleasant grinding sound between the basketball and the net.
Hill began to run back to defend as soon as he landed, as if he wasn't worried about the ball going to be missed.
"It's too fast!" was the only sentence imprinted on Lamar's mind.
Phil Jackson shook his fist in annoyance off the court, he didn't expect Hill to save his strength to this point after injury.
On the contrary, there was jubilation on the bench of the Pistons, who probably didn't expect this game to come to this point, and they even had to celebrate with a three-point cheer.
Lamar on the field quickly recovered, beckoning Haber to come over and catch the ball, and while carrying the ball across the halfway line, his mind was still thinking about Hill's goal just now, and suddenly he had an idea.
"Hey! ”
Corris Williams' trash talk had to stop as soon as he sprayed a word, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't believe that everything that was born in front of him was actually real.
Just now, Lamar was almost a meter away from the three-point line, without warning, suddenly jumped up and shot, shot extremely fast, and actually scored!
This made Collis brew all night, and the classic trash talk that was summarized after refining it suddenly became useless. How depressed.
Now it's the Lakers' turn to rejoice, they didn't expect Lamar to shoot in this position, and so suddenly, people were not mentally prepared at all, fortunately the ball went in, otherwise Phil Jackson would definitely be in shock.
At this time, Billups's expression of the dead fish that had not changed for thousands of years also changed, as if he was also stimulated by Lamar. When did Lamar still have this hand?
With only 8 seconds left in the game, the two sides were once again on the same running line, 90 draws.
After the game restarted, the Lakers and Pistons each scored eight points.
Collins called another timeout and began to set up a final attack.
Collins fiddled with the tactical board for a moment and said, "Grant, this opportunity is up to you, try to use up your time, don't leave any more chances for your opponent, and ensure the success rate, this is your chance to become a hero, take advantage of it." ”
At the same time, Phil Jackson on the Lakers' side also reminded his players loudly: "Don't make steals easily, be careful not to foul, just stick to the opponent when defending, Lamar, Haber, you two pay attention to Grant Hill, they will definitely hand him over to the last shot, and when necessary, they will be able to trap him, don't let him shoot easily, and block him from the three-point line as much as possible." ”
When the time came for the timeout, both teams returned to the game.
Grant Hill stood outside the sideline to prepare for the ball, Harbour blocked in front of him and waved his arms as hard as he could, hoping to interfere with him, and the rest of the Pistons crowded around the Lakers' half-court free throw line, lined up.
As the referee's whistle blew, the final moment of the decisive battle began, and the Pistons players immediately dispersed, Lamar and Harbour stared at Grant Hill, not daring to relax for a moment, the power of this guy has just been understood by the Lakers.
But instead of going in this direction, the ball flew to Atkins in the bottom corner, and Atkins made a shot as soon as he received the ball. Chauncy saw that something was wrong and rushed over to defend, and Lamar's attention was also drawn to the past, and the defense against Grant was slack.
Atkins saw that the pass opportunity had come out, and a long pass to the ground successfully put the ball in the hands of Grant Hill, and when Lamar turned back to defend, Hill had already stepped into the three-point line.
Phil Jackson was anxious to shout off the court, but the spectators in the stands suddenly fell silent, and the crashing sound of the basketball as it landed and the roar of Phil Jackson could be heard in the arena of Nuo University.
The corner of Grant Hill's eyes has been looking at Lamar, and the moment he sticks up, he suddenly turns around, making Lamar pounce, and when he turns back, the huge inertia makes Lamar almost fall!
At this time, Lamar could no longer stop Grant's shot, and could only watch the basketball pass through the opponent's fingertips and slowly fly towards the basket.
It is said that some people held their breath, staring at the basketball floating in the air, and did not even dare to breathe, for fear that their breathing would interfere with the trajectory of the ball.
"Huh!"
In the end, the basketball and the Nets still had a very harsh sound that sounded extremely harsh to the ears of Los Angeles people.
"Whew!!"
It was like an explosion on the Pistons' bench, and everyone rushed into the court, pounced on Hill, the scorer, and began to celebrate wildly.
They had reason to be ecstatic, and the course of the game was full of twists and turns, and it was not until the end that the winner was decided. And the way to win is this magical lore.
The Lakers players were dumbfounded, disappointed all over their faces, no one expected the result to be like this, fighting hard for a full forty-eight minutes, fighting wits with their opponents, but still losing.
Lamar's first reaction after the ball went in was to look at the timer on the basketball hoop.
0.5 seconds.
The red light hasn't come on yet, they still have a chance, that's Lamar's first reaction!
Lamar had no idea how short 0.5 seconds was, he just knew they had a chance to win as long as the race wasn't over.
"There's still time! We've got time! The game isn't over yet!" Lamar shouted, "Hell, Shaq, don't throw the ball around, do you want us to lose!"
Shaq was stunned, he just wanted to vent, he didn't understand what Lamar meant! The game wasn't over yet? All the Lakers players looked at the timer, the game was indeed not over yet, but to their disappointment, there was only 0.5 seconds left for them.
The others were also intrigued, and some of them were secretly relieved to see that there was only 0.5 seconds left, while others were hard to hide their disappointment, and no one would think that the Lakers would do anything earth-shattering just by blinking an eye. (To be continued.) )
