Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Last Chance to Attack
The reason why Ke Fan asked this sentence was because when Shangguan Yu made a move, he was facing the defense of the other two.
It wasn't a great chance, but he was decisive and put the ball in.
Regardless of whether they can prevent Shangguan Yu or not, the current Shangguan Yu can be regarded as a complete vote of confidence.
When James was playing with his back to himself, he shouted directly: "Come on!"
James was not convinced, leaned on Shangguan Yu to turn around, and killed under the basket, this time the inside line was all pulled away, and only Shangguan Yu could defend alone, but he was not afraid, because he could keep up with James's footsteps and jammed his breakthrough route.
He wanted to use his physical fitness to forcibly squeeze Shangguan Yu away, but he didn't succeed, but James had a lot of offensive methods.
The strong attack failed, and it was replaced by a clever shot, but under the interference of Shangguan Yu, this time the shot smashed out of the frame.
James' hand feeling is really bad, but even in this state, he still scored almost 40 points, which shows how strong he is.
The rebound was snatched by Turner again, and the Celtics' offense this time was not successful, and Shangguan Yu missed from the middle distance. The other players of the current Celtics are too lazy to make their hands and throw the ball directly to Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu is also not polite, even in the face of James's defense, he still dares to make a move. This is today's special training, one of the results received, mainly because it feels good, so the confidence skyrockets.
Time is constantly being consumed under the rhythm of attack and defense. But the Cavaliers suddenly found their touch, and Champert received a pass from James and hit a difficult three-pointer.
James hit the basket with a back-to-back jumper from 7 feet.
The Cavaliers were once again overtaken, with a temporary lead of the Celtics by one point at 99-98.
Cornered, the Celtics could only ask for a timeout, and now there are 2 minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of the game. Celtic have a lot of options, and it depends on how the coach arranges and how the players on the field respond.
Coach Stevens glanced at his players: "Don't be nervous, we still have time, there is no need to rush this ball." Isaiah and Turner, the two of you look for an opportunity to attack the inside, and shoot when you have the chance. Yu, you have to demand opportunities on the outside, remember what Lei taught you today, others help cover, come on!"
At the end of the timeout, the Celtics served in the middle line, Shangguan Yu came to serve, but James came to defend.
He spread his arms and constantly interfered with Shangguan Yu's serve, and the pressure doubled.
But Thomas and Olinnick made eye contact, and Shangguan Yu deliberately aimed his eyes at Turner's side. Olynyk suddenly lifted up, and Thomas hung beside him and slipped out to catch the ball.
Shangguan Yu quickly played the ball, and after Thomas received the ball, Olynyk ran over again and blocked James.
The Cavaliers' defense, as a result, was disrupted, and Thomas used the cover to get rid of Irving's entanglement and kill inside.
But there was no chance to shoot, so Thomas passed the ball out, and Turner saw Shangguan Yu and didn't have a chance, so he also went inside and passed the ball to his teammates.
continued to break points, but there was still no chance, but Shangguan Yu finally found an opportunity.
Olynyk handed the ball to Shangguan Yu with great difficulty, although he believed in himself, but seeing that there were only more than 6 seconds left, wasn't this James's way to throw the pot?
But since you have already taken over the pot, you have to carry it silently.
James forced the defense and didn't give James too good a chance to make a shot, the longer it dragged on, the more difficult it would be for Shangguan Yu to deal with it. Pretending to pass the ball out, Shangguan Yu took a step, directly pulled up a backward jumper, and after confronting James, Shangguan Yu lost his center of gravity, but this time the shot was still very resolute.
The ball tumbled and rolled into the net, and this ball was full of luck, 101-99, Shangguan Yu's personal 37th point.
It's just one point away from James' score.
Because of this shot, the two sides actually began to rush each other, and Irving received an assist from JR Smith and hit a mid-range jumper.
Thomas responded, taking advantage of Olynyk's cover and making a layup under the basket.
The Cavaliers attacked, and this time it was Tristan Thompson who stepped up, and he grabbed the rebound first. After receiving an assist from Irving, he made a mid-range jumper and the Cavaliers equalized.
The game became more anxious, and perhaps all the touches were used up, and the next attacks of both sides were not hit.
Shangguan Yu once again missed the middle distance and handed over the initiative to the Cavaliers.
After calling a 20-second timeout, the Cavaliers had to plan their offense because there were only 32 seconds left until the end of the game.
After the timeout, Coach Stevens did not replace Shangguan Yu.
The game restarted, and after the Cavaliers saw Shangguan Yu, they immediately changed their strategy, and after handing the ball to James, they all pulled it away, giving him a chance to play alone.
It is difficult for the Celtics players to come over and make up for the defense, because the players on the Cavaliers are all offensive points.
didn't dare to let go of his defensive players easily, so this attack could only be guarded by Shangguan Yu alone.
James is not in a hurry to attack, controlling the ball from beyond the three-point line and trying to drain as much time as possible.
Shangguan Yu didn't press, because he had to reserve his strength to complete the last attack.
James pressed the offensive time to only 10 seconds left, and after a series of changes of direction, he was about to kill inside.
Shangguan Yu couldn't stop it, and when James took three steps, he grabbed him.
Dragged by him for two steps, Shangguan Yu finally asked James to stop, but he had already thrown the ball out.
One, two, three
The ball seemed to have been naughty enough, and finally rolled off the neck of the basket.
The Cavaliers home fans let out a huge lament, if this shot is made, James will hit a free throw, which is basically invincible.
But now even if James hits both free throws, the Celtics still have a chance to attack, and the hearts of the home fans have been raised to their throats.
Shangguan Yu's fans were also very excited, praying that James missed two free throws.
On the other side of the ocean, a beautiful woman who has not yet fallen through the jet lag stares closely at the TV screen.
gave James two free throws, and many people felt that this shot was not worth it, and even Ke Fan said: "Oops, this ball is a pity." In this game, Cheng is also Shangguan Yu, and he will not be defeated, right?"
James was also under a lot of pressure, and his first free throw, he actually missed.
The home fans hid their faces, but they still had a chance to win the game, and after a brief adjustment, James hit the second free throw. But the home fans did not dare to celebrate loudly because the game was not over yet.
In this game, Shangguan Yu had a lot of physical exertion, and when the Celtics paused, he leaned directly on the chair and gasped for air.
Coach Stevens asked, "Yu, can you still play?"
Shangguan Yu's eyes were full of determination, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Yes!"
Originally, Coach Stevens still wanted to bet on Shangguan Yu, but now he is also a little shaken, but looking at that determined look, he resolutely drew a tactic.
This ball is still for Shangguan Yu to attack!
The game restarted, the Celtics served the sideline ball, the Cavaliers firmly locked the Celtics' outside line, and in the end only Olynyk could get the ball.
Although his legs were a little immobile, Shangguan Yu still ran desperately, trying to get rid of James's defense.
But it didn't work out, and James stared at him, waiting for his teammates to cover.
Olynyk roared and rushed out, Shangguan Yu suddenly ran back, pushed James with his hand, and ran to the other side.
Thomas has been on the ball for a long time, and the last 11.8 seconds are less than 6 seconds left.
When Shangguan Yu received the ball, James had already bypassed Olynyk and pounced, and Xiangbot pounced together, but at this moment, Shangguan Yu only had the word shot in his mind.
In order to avoid this defense, Shangguan Yu completely ignored what would happen to him in the end, and after a quick adjustment, he used his fingers to pull the ball out.
