Chapter 222: Under the impeccable lore
George Carr called a timeout, although the SuperSonics still have a one-point lead, but the pressure is all on their side, once the next ball is not thrown, then the victory is not in their own hands.
'Last season we lost the game and were swept away by them, that's the old thing, we don't think about him anymore, today we used everything we could but now we have to deal with that pressure. I hope you can withstand the pressure and get this victory, but nothing else is what we want. "George Carr is starting to be a little chaotic at this time, although he coaches the team very well, but he is not a coach known for being quick to adapt, in the face of huge pressure, all he can do is to motivate the players on the court as much as possible, as for the tactical arrangement, the team has its own set of style, and Payton will make decisions on the court, yes, it is Payton, in the SuperSonics, when it comes to the critical moment, the person who makes decisions will be Payton, this is his status.
At the end of the timeout, the game continued, and the sideline was served by Jose Hawkins, who was a point guard who could pass the ball, and was in a stable state, with a much better mentality than Schramf, who was three years older than him.
Liu Han followed Payton to the death, not giving him a chance to catch the ball, but the SuperSonics had a clear tactic, which was to cover Payton for the ball. McYlvain and Wenbeck's double cover made Payton difficult to receive the ball, he didn't have time to think, ready to shoot after receiving the ball, but Liu Han suddenly appeared in front of him, Wenbaker and McYlvain both failed to block Liu Han tightly, and a trace of space was seized by Liu Han to bypass and defend in front of Payton again.
Facing Liu Han, who had an advantage in height, Payton didn't dare to make a rash shot, but time was not enough, he could only dribble and force a three-point shot.
Payton ran to the basket as soon as he made a three-point shot, and he knew that the ball was gone, but Liu Han was faster than him, and the bounce was even better, and he rushed up and took the ball away on top of Payton's head.
Liu Han called a timeout as soon as he landed, and now there are more than 50 seconds left in the game, and the Lakers have a chance to turn the tables.
Compared with George Karl, George Krent is more flexible in the use of tactics, and the tactics he arranged for the Lakers this time are not to let Liu Han shoot, after all, his goal is too big, this time the tactic is to use Liu Han's deterrence to tear apart the defense of the SuperSonics, and then let the veteran Dell Curry shoot.
After the short timeout, the Lakers served on the sideline, Liu Han ran around O'Neal and shook off Payton and received the ball smoothly, he dribbled to control the time, this offense should try to consume enough time, so that the SuperSonics will only have enough time to attack, and in the end, the Lakers will be left with some offensive time. In the current situation, the Lakers don't want too many accidents, so they can only try to compress the offensive rounds, and if there are fewer rounds, there will be fewer accidents.
In the twenty-four seconds of the offense, when there were still ten seconds left in the time, Liu Han suddenly started, Payton stared at Liu Han from the side, not allowing him to have a chance to shoot smoothly, and now the supersonic team is most afraid that Liu Han will suddenly shoot three points like the previous two attacks.
When Liu Han burst inside, not only Payton was attracted, but even Jose Hawkins and Wenbaker were attracted, Liu Han took the opportunity to throw the ball from the back of his head to the already vacant Dell Curry, Curry received the ball and had less than three seconds left before the offensive time reached 24 seconds.
The veteran seemed to hesitate a little, but after stabilizing the ball in his hand, he made a shot, and the expression on Curry's face suddenly darkened after the shot, and he shot three points all the year round.
Sure enough, the veteran's hesitation just now made his shot a little shorter, and the ball bounced high on the front of the basket, which was grabbed by SuperSonics center McIlvain for the first time.
George Carr happily called out the last timeout, and now the SuperSonics had a chance to win the game.
Liu Han walked up to Dell Curry and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, Curry himself kept a calm face and didn't say a word, he had shot three-pointers for so many years, and he missed the most critical one today.
"It's alright, Dale, we still have one last chance to attack." Liu Han said to Dell Curry.
"The next defense is very important, if we defend it, we will have the last chance to attack, and if we can't put it down, then we will use foul tactics as soon as possible."
George Crent was completely relaxed by this time, and he was thinking, even if this game was lost, it didn't matter, the Lakers still had two home games in hand.
At the beginning of the game, the SuperSonics still had Payton receiving the ball, and their tactics were very conventional and not as responsible as the Lakers, which had to do with Payton who had the ball.
Payton is also in control of the time like Liu Han just now, and they don't want to give the Lakers more time to attack.
With about ten seconds left on the offensive time, Payton's teammate Winsbeck mentioned the outside line to cover him, Liu Han was blocked behind, Payton relied on the cover to burst into the interior, and when O'Neal came up to make up the defense, he suddenly passed to McYlwain under the basket.
McIlvain was in a state of extreme tension right now, he didn't expect that he could decide the victory of a game, and just when he fantasized about what kind of action he would use to express his excitement of dunking and ending the game after receiving the ball, Liu Han reappeared behind McYlvain like a ghost.
Like the opening block Payton, the ball in McIlvain's hand was directly pressed on the rebound by Liu Han, and Liu Han held the ball in his arms with strong waist and abdominal strength.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the referee Steve Javi, but at this time, Jarvi didn't dare to blow off Liu Han's beautiful block like he had just started, because such a key ball would be replayed again and again after the game, and Jarvi retreated at this time.
Liu Hangai signaled a timeout to the referee as soon as he got off the ball. The supersonic players rushed to the referee with some excitement, they felt that Liu Han's block was a foul, but Jarvi still didn't say anything.
With about ten seconds left before the end of the game, the situation once again tipped in the Lakers' side, and the ups and downs of the game made the Seattle fans in the room like a rollercoaster ride.
George Krent gathered the players together, but instead of speaking, he glanced at each player.
"Next, the last attack, to decide the outcome of the game, who do you think is better to shoot?" George Krent gave the choice to the players.
"Liu, let him come, machines are always more accurate than people." Almost most of the players felt that Liu Han was the most suitable to throw this ball.
"No, let Dale continue, I trust him." To the surprise of everyone except George Krent, Liu Han rejected their offer.
In fact, George Krent also wanted to continue to let Dale shoot at the last shot, in George's view, Liu Han was like the sun at this time, attracting the attention of all defenses, so that the rest of the Lakers players would have a chance, from the perspective of probability, a three-point shooter with rich experience is unlikely to miss two open three-pointers in a row, of course, more because George feels that the veteran should be given this chance to decide the victory of the game.
At the end of the timeout, the rest of the Lakers players were standing in a straight line at the top of the arc, and it was Dell Curry who served the ball on the sideline, which was similar to a psychological suggestion that Dell Curry would not shoot.
The SuperSonics focused almost all of their attention on Liu Han when defending against the Lakers' last offense, you know, Liu Han has only been in the league for two seasons, but he has killed opponents more times than some people in a lifetime.
When the referee's whistle sounded, the Lakers players lined up at the top of the arc suddenly dispersed, O'Neal took the opportunity to cover Liu Han, Liu Han relied on the cover to come out smoothly, and Dell Curry handed the ball to Liu Han almost hand-to-hand.
After receiving the ball, Liu Han didn't dare to pause and broke through directly to the right side with the ball, and he was surrounded by a circle of defenders of the SuperSonics team.
Liu Han did not panic at all, nor did he pass the ball rashly, he had to control the time, and seeing that there was no trace of breakthrough route, Liu Han dribbled and changed direction and ran out.
The players of the SuperSonics seem to think that Liu Han is looking outside to find space to shoot, because everyone knows how far this perverted guy shoots.
As the clock ticked by, with three seconds left before the game time, Liu Han suddenly turned to the frame and jumped up, surrounded by at least three SuperSonics defenders.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Han was about to make a shot, he tucked his stomach in the air, and then threw the ball to Dell Curry, who was empty in the bottom corner of the same side.
Dell Curry's side was empty for about two meters, and he focused all his attention on the flying ball, and this time he received the ball steadily, with a slight touch on his feet, his body jumped up slightly, and then pushed the ball out with this force.
When the ball is in the air, the red light is on, and when the red light flashes, the basketball hollow passes through the basket, swinging white net flowers, and Dell Curry kills the SuperSonics with one blow.
Gary Payton stood on the court in a distraction, and the Lakers players who pounced on Dele Curry ran past him, and Payton's heart was at a loss, he didn't know what he should do next, whether to continue to fight for a big contract with the SuperSonics, or find a player who could win the championship, this was a difficult problem that had been placed in front of him.
Dell Curry's expression after the last shot was not as excited as people thought, but his teammates still sensed his excitement from the way he hugged Liu Han. Dell Curry has been in the league for 11 seasons, he has never had a chance to kill, but today, he killed twice, although the first time failed, but the second success brought him an incomparable sense of achievement, of course, he can kill must be thanks to Liu Han's selflessness, in fact, in this case, few core players will be willing to give up the opportunity.
In any case, the Lakers won this crucial game, they are now mostly 3-0 ahead, and have a good chance of sweeping the SuperSonics again in the second round, and now the SuperSonics, their original tense nerves have been completely broken, and the team's collapse is in the next game.
