Chapter 728: One minute, one second

The basketball that spun rapidly in the air is now the focus of thousands of pairs of eyes. Although Lillard has not played in the NBA for a long time, he is definitely bold enough.

When it comes to crunch time, Lillard never timids or soft-hearted. He's a young man who dares to take responsibility, but the courage to shoot doesn't mean that Lillard can hit every key shot.

The hero moment didn't play out as hoped, and a crisp bang almost broke the hearts of Trail Blazers fans. Lillard's three-pointer missed!

"No, it didn't go in. It's over, the Spurs have finally got their revenge this time! Wait......" Kenny Smith's tone changed suddenly.

On the basketball court, Lillard's three-pointer slammed into the frame. A huge guy suddenly rushed over, jumped violently, and grabbed the basketball, which was rejected by the basket.

"It's Anjie! Ann ran all the way and grabbed this offensive rebound!"

"Can't let you score, can't let you score!" Split grabbed Anjie's jersey as he jumped. If Anjie catches the offensive rebound, then the Spurs will be in danger!

However, Anjie was not stopped by Split's pull, this guy not only grabbed the offensive rebound, but also planned to complete the dunk directly in the air!

"Bang!" a violent slam dunk made the reinforced basket tremble uncontrollably. Anjie, who was stopped by Splitra, leaned back and fell to the ground again!

Catherine in the luxury box felt a cramp in her heart, but in the next second, An Jie got up violently and rushed to Split.

"You've fucking dropped me twice today, bastard!" At this time the game was played, An Jie was also very excited. Two powder kegs have been set on fire, and a clash is on the verge of breaking out!

"Hey, the game is about to end, you all calm down!" Duncan suddenly inserted between the two, and the "Stone Buddha" snuffed out the spark.

Anjie gave Duncan a face, and then gradually left the Brazilian center. But An Jie's eyes were still staring at Split.

An Jie's dunk has been successful, and the moment when Splitra pulled An Jie just now, he was also fouled by the referee.

Popovich angrily rushed to the referee to theorize, he couldn't believe that the Spurs, who were in a good situation, would be in crisis because of the referee's two consecutive decisions.

"You're a fucking idiot! I've been coaching the team for so many years, and I've never seen a stupid X like you!" Popovich couldn't hold back, and if it weren't for the players on the bench rushing to pull their coach away, the veteran coach might have been sent off the game.

The game was already on the verge of spiraling out of control, and Rickard was now out of control. It's clear that the Spurs' mentality has suffered, and this chaotic scene is good for the Trail Blazers.

An Jie once again stood on the free throw line, and the fans in the stadium once again created a quiet free throw environment for An Jie.

Although he was in a big hurry just now, An Jie quickly adjusted his mood after standing on the free throw line.

He threw the ball steadily, and the basketball spun around the hoop twice before finally falling.

Anjie scored 6 points in a row at the last moment, and at this moment, the Spurs, who were originally in control, only had a 2-point lead.

Popovich immediately used his last timeout, and the Spurs bench players who were waiting to rush to the court to celebrate the victory were also disappointed.

"Keep pressing them for mistakes! The game is over with 28 seconds left, we have time to do it all! Let's crush the Spurs, let's crush them! Those guys are already messing up, the balance of victory is already tilting in our favor! Seize the opportunity! Let's end this damn Christmas game!"

An Jie drank a glass of Gatorade and stood up vigorously. "And the last 28 seconds, guys. When the number on that damn timer goes to zero, the winner is definitely us!"

"Come on, let's break this damn disadvantage!" Anjie yelled, and the entire Trail Blazers players became enthusiastic.

They followed An Jie's footsteps into the court, and in the last 28 seconds, decide life and death!

This time, Parker didn't dare to pass the ball anymore. He'd rather dribble himself for 24 seconds than give the Trail Blazers another chance.

Parker doesn't pass the ball, and everyone on the Trail Blazers will naturally take the initiative to grab it. But Tony Parker's masterful ball control allowed him to carry out his plan to the end.

The Spurs managed to drag on for another 24 seconds, and the Trail Blazers were stunned and didn't foul. In the final 3 seconds, Parker broke through and made a pull-up jumper. The basketball failed to hit, and An Jie protected the defensive rebound. When Angel held the rebound, Rickard called a timeout.

At this point, there were 3.5 seconds left before the end of the game. This 3.5 seconds will be the last chance for the Trail Blazers!

Trailing by two points meant the Trail Blazers needed to hit a three-pointer to claim the win. This time, Rickard had to choose a point other than Anjie to finish the match. He glanced at the bench, Lillard, Matthews, Contney Lee, Batum...... There is no shortage of these guys as an option.

But in the end, Ricard made a decision that surprised everyone. "Keep the lineup the same, Damien, you make the last shot!"

Rickard did not increase the number of goalscorers on the field, which he hopes can use to confuse Popovich.

After that, Rickard began to pick up the tactical board and get busy. In order to ensure that the last attack was foolproof, Ricard had several plans for the players!

Lillard and Anjie became the key players, Anjie needed to create space for Lillard, and Lillard needed to convert opportunities into points.

"I'll be in charge of attracting the defense, you have to take your chances!" Anjie stretched out his fist and gently touched Lillard. Let's hope this defender who has personally selected himself to join the team can do all this......

"Didn't add goalscorers, were they going to let Ann equalize and then play extra time?" Popovich couldn't help but wonder when Konteney Lee, Batum and Meyers Leonard were still on the bench when the players returned to the court.

If the Trail Blazers want to increase their chances of winning, they will certainly cram in as many pitchers as possible. But instead of that, they kept a normal starting line-up.

Ricard's plan succeeded, and at least for now, the Spurs will be more afraid of Angel than Lillard, who just missed a key shot.

The referee blows the whistle and passes the ball to Aldridge on the touchline. An Jie immediately ran towards the penalty area and pointed to the sky.

"Do you want an aerial relay!?" Duncan and Leonard immediately became nervous, and Anjie scored more than once by relying on a direct pass from the throw-in to complete the relay. If they succeed again this time, the odds of an exhausted Spurs going into overtime will be slim!

Duncan and Leonard immediately surrounded Anjie, this kind of difficult goal, Anjie can't succeed every time!

Meanwhile, Aldridge sends the ball out on the sideline. Duncan and Leonard tensed, and they stared at Angel for fear that this guy would suddenly jump.

However, the basketball did not fly directly over Anjie's head, but was passed to Lillard.

"Did the tactical execution fail?" Popovich looked intently at the court, now Lillard didn't have any chance to shoot, it must be because of the entanglement between Duncan and Leonard, which made Aldridge give up the plan of the aerial relay.

In this game, the Spurs won it!

Anjie, who was originally cutting to the basket, suddenly stopped, and at the same time, Lillard held the ball diagonally into the restricted area.

Anjie and Duncan and Leonard around him, standing in place, provided great cover for Lillard.

After Lillard got rid of Parker with this pick-and-roll, he ran diagonally outside the three-point line.

At this moment, there is not much time left for the game. Lillard, who had his back to the basket, turned and shot directly, and there was no chance to aim at all.

"Damien just missed a crucial shot, can he do a miracle this time!" Mike Brin slammed to his feet, his heart bouncing up and down like a basketball.

"Beep!" the red light on the rebound lit up.

"Bang!" the basketball Lillard threw hit the left side of the basket and bounced high. On the Spurs bench, someone was already celebrating the victory. However, when the basketball fell again, it fell into the net without bias!

"Win! Win! Win! Great zero center, great zero guard! Trail Blazers won! A whistle-blowing! Ann and Damion worked together to put an end to it all! Let's congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers, who are undoubtedly the biggest winners of this year's Christmas game!" shouted Mike Brin as he danced as the fans danced.

Before Lillard could celebrate, he was slammed into his arms by Anjie, who ran towards him. "I knew you could do it, I knew you could do it!" An Jie's ears were full of cheers, so he couldn't hear what he was yelling at all. The more this happens, the louder it will grow.

What can you do in a minute? What can you do in a second? Anjie led the Trail Blazers to blow the horn of the counterattack with a performance of six consecutive points in the last minute, and Lillard shot a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the last second to help the Trail Blazers beat the Spurs. The two NBA stars used their actions to interpret the key role of key players in key moments!

A point ago, the Spurs bench players who were about to rush onto the court to celebrate the victory were all crying and mournful. The Spurs, who were two points ahead a second ago, missed their chance to complete their revenge on Christmas.

Catherine, like all the fans in the stands, jumped up and down with excitement. On the court, Lillard and Anjie were still hugged tightly by their teammates and spoke incoherently.

Outside the Moda Center, the snowflakes were quietly rising again. But the whole of Portland, like summer, is surrounded by frenzy.

Anjie and Lillard are like Santa Claus, giving the best gifts to Trail Blazers fans. Christmas nights in the City of Roses are always wonderful......
