Chapter 149: Overtime Against the Wind! (4K chapters for subscription) (supplement 5/11)
The counterattack can't be fought!
This is the biggest problem for Pacers.
The positional battle is excellent, but the counterattack is unless Xu Xuan throws them off and fights alone.
But if you fight like that, you may fall into the middle of someone else's attack, and the risk is too great!
This is a problem of the team's style of play, and Xu Xuan can only ask himself to adapt.
"The Pelicans' offensive rhythm is good, Tyrek and Holiday fired one after another from the outside, and the thick eyebrows on the inside can even hit 2 ......"
Thick eyebrows can indeed be 1 to 2, Hibbert has height alone, and now the confrontation is lacking.
As long as they are stuck in the position by thick eyebrows, they will be greeted by a bloody horse storm!
"Thick eyebrows are amazing!"
"A man worthy of being called a divine beast"
Divine beasts!
True Divine Beast!
This is the second time Xu Xuan has fought with thick eyebrows, and the last time was in New York, but the pressure given by thick eyebrows is far less than this time.
Could it be that New York has melons in front to share a lot of firepower with him?
This time, he faced this divine beast alone, and it was indeed Alexander.
The thick eyebrows' offense is too inexplicable, he is tall and has long arms, and when he jumps up and dunks, unless you drag him down, you can't defend it.
And he can dribble, he can shoot, he can finish so much......
"If the Pacers can't figure out a way to target Anthony, they're going to have a dangerous game!"
But now West and Scola who came off the bench are not thick eyebrows, and the two take turns to be blown up.
West's mid-range shot...... No! ”
"Thick eyebrows take the rebound and push yourself!"
"The three-point line is starting to burst, damn it! Dribbling the ball in the back? Thick eyebrows dribbled past West with their backs! ”
"Slam dunk!!"
"The Pelicans are 10 points ahead!"
With only 2 minutes and 9 seconds left, trailing by 10 points, the Pacers basically have no chance of turning the game around.
But Xu Xuan didn't want to give up.
He signaled to head coach Vogel that he could still play.
Anyway, the Pacers don't have a Christmas war behind them, so why don't you take advantage of this time to fight a wave and prepare to stay?
The Pelicans are strong, they are the upstarts in the West this year, and the Pelicans definitely have the playoff strength.
Vogel hesitated, his heart wavering.
In principle, he doesn't want to fight this kind of useless ball, after all, he is so far behind, and the probability of losing is about 99%!
But I don't know why, when Xu Xuan proposed to stay on the field, he had some expectations in his heart.
Where do you expect it?
Did Xu Xuan give it?
Probably!
But can you really win?
Never mind!
Whatever!
Do what you want!
It's not a big deal to lose!
The blood of young people cannot be cooled.
Vogel thought about it for a long time and nodded and chose to agree!
"Sideline Ball for Pacers...... Xu Xuan stepped back for three points...... Have it? ”
"There it is!"
The ball hollows into the net.
Outside the three-point line, Xu Xuan hit another three-pointer.
99 to 92!
"The Pelicans seem to want to return one, a mid-range board with thick eyebrows...... It's a little bit worse. ”
"It's still Xu Xuan holding the ball. I forgot to tell everyone that Xu Xuan is now back in the No. 1 position, Hill is resting, and the No. 2 position is CJ Myers."
"Breakthrough!"
"Xu Xuan's speed is very fast!"
"Holiday followed closely, did you start?"
"It didn't work! Xu Xuan's throwing board while traveling! ”
This is not what Xu Xuan is good at, but ......
"Xu Xuan caused Holiday to foul his thugs!"
"Xu Xuan wants to stand on the free throw line!"
Hit both penalties!
The penalty at the critical moment, Xu Xuan stabilized his mentality!
99 to 94!
There are only 5 points left!
"The Pelicans are a little anxious, the Pacers are obviously not ready to give up the game when they play like this, they play very tenacious"
Holiday brought it over, and the front court once again found a block with thick eyebrows, and after changing defenses, the fake burst was true, and the thick eyebrows came from the weak side to kill and score!
"The margin is back to 7 points, but there is not much time left!"
Time is running out!
Xu Xuan knows that he can't stop now, every minute and every second is precious!
He scored five straight points on his side, and Pelicans head coach Monty Williams was hoarse on the sidelines.
"Defend! Defend! Defend! ”
"What are you doing? Attacks! Give me a pinch! ”
You can't let Xu Xuan do it, Xu Xuan is a person who has created miracles!
And more than once!
The pressure has increased dramatically!
In front of Xu Xuan, the strength of a company stood ......
"Does Xu Xuan want to break through?"
"He should have passed the ball earlier, he's the Pelicans' defensive focus!"
"Out of the ball!"
"Xu Xuan's ball speed is very fast!"
"Can CJ Myers in ambush in the bottom corner do anything?"
"Oh, that's a pity! What a chance to vacate a seat! ”
"Whose rebound is it?"
"Xu Xuan!"
"It was actually Xu Xuan who grabbed the rebound!"
"Butter Hand" Asik was a little panicked now, and he didn't know why he stood in front of Xu Xuan.
The others won't be able to catch up for a while, what should I do?
Xu Xuan didn't give him a chance to think at all!
Xu Xuan dribbled lightly with his left hand, and the moment the center of gravity of his body leaned towards the left side of his body, he connected a crotch dribble to pull the ball back to the right side of his body, followed by a huge crossover, and the basketball returned to Xu Xuan's left hand!
Worst!
"Butter Hand" Asik's huge body fell to the ground with a bang!
The Pacers fans at the Bankers Living Arena all stood up with their heads in their hands after exclaiming!
Really wear flowers and butterflies!
At the moment when Asik wanted to stand up with his hands on the ground, Xu Xuan had already taken a step back!
Swish!
Score in the middle distance!
"The Pelicans seem to be in a real hurry, does Asik want to prove himself? Oh God, the ball is lost! ”
"This damn butter hand!"
The ball was possessed by the Pacers
But there are only 28 seconds left!
28 seconds!
101 to 96.
The Pelicans lead by five points.
In the G6 game between the Heat and the Spurs in 13, when there were 28 seconds left in regular time, the Spurs were also 5 points ahead!
The fates are surprisingly similar!
In front of Xu Xuan was still heavily defended.
The moment they got the ball, the two pelicans flew over!
"Xu Xuan's strong investment!"
"Defense."
"Defense."
Coach Williams was still yelling on the sidelines.
Stopped!
Xu Xuan's shot was interfered with!
But rebounding!
Whose rebounds are yours?
West grabbed the rebound!
Send it back to Xu Xuan again!
Keep throwing without blinking!
"Whew"!
This time there is!
Xu Xuan's three-point strong shot was successful!
It's time to catch up!
101-99, the Pacers are now only 2 points apart!
With 20.8 seconds left in the game, the Pelicans sideline ball was sent to Evans.
Myers immediately fouled Evans.
Evans walks to the free throw line and misses the first free throw!
The audience suddenly booed.
Evans takes a deep breath, second penalty!
Pregnant!
Second Free Throw!
There's still time!
Pacers fast forward!
Frontcourt!
"Xu Xuan made a strong investment again!"
"Unwise!"
"Where is it unwise? Time is so short, don't you keep it for fun? ”
If you don't make a move, you have to do it!
But God is not beautiful, such a shooting difficulty is too high!
The Pelicans completely let go of the others, and they all pounced on Xu Xuan alone!
Not in yet!
"Another rebound!"
Watch West and Asik battle it out!
"Oh, no, Asik has lost another offensive rebound! West grabbed two rebounds in a row at a critical moment! ”
"Damn butter hands!"
"Damn Asik!"
Pelican fans cursed.
The height of 213 can't even match West's shortness!
Asik's face is going to turn green!
"The veteran is the veteran in the end, and it plays a role at the critical moment!"
After West got the ball, he quickly gave it to Xu Xuan!
"Prevent him!"
"Prevent him from killing me!"
Monty Williams shouted hoarsely.
Tyrek clapped his hands too, cheering up.
He and Holiday are the main forces defending Xu Xuan!
Time is running out!
But there are too many defenders in front of you!
"Xu Xuan has no chance to dribble!"
"Xu Xuan has started!"
"Xu Xuan picked up the ball!"
"Do you want to shoot?"
"Or is it the same strong throw as before?"
Strong investment is not a good option!
"Kobe, if it were you at this time, how would you fight?"
Bryant would not hesitate to reply: "Of course it's to throw this damn ball out!" ”
Xu Xuan is not a stubborn person, it is not easy to throw it just now, and if this ball is shot, there is a high probability that it will be gone.
West can grab one or two rebounds, but he can't grab three or four rebounds.
Can't force it!
"Attack?"
Don't be reckless!
"But it's almost time!"
Can't wait any longer!
"Oh God! Xu Xuan...... Xu Xuan actually chose to pass the ball! ”
"It's a very subtle pass!"
"Xu Xuan's courage is really big!"
"There are people in front of him, and he dares to pass the ball!"
I saw that Xu Xuan's wrist to collect the ball shook slightly, and his shoulders didn't shake, and the ball drilled out of the crack.
Elegant and ghostly!
The elegant, accurate pass went straight into the stunned CJ Myers.
"That's a lot of passes."
"Inform those netizens who buy pelicans with gold coins to come down from the rooftop and give me a place to ......"
"20 years Xu Xuan fans passing by."
"Ji, sit down."
The fans at home couldn't get excited.
"CJ, cast!"
Xu Xuan shouted.
CJ Myers woke up suddenly, took a deep breath, adjusted his rhythm, aimed at the basket, and shot!
CJ Myers is also an outside shooter, shooting 39.3 percent from three-point range last season!
Shot!
"Facing the sea"
"Spring Blossoms"
The ball rolled into the basket under the gaze of the whole audience, "boom", hollow ball, three points in hand.
"Ahh
Whistles, applause, cheers rang out in unison.
At this point, the Pacers' bench stood up to watch the game.
Xu Xuan's second pass plus CJ Myers's three points!
The Pacers are tied!
With just 2.2 seconds left in the end, the Pacers were tied!
102 to 102!
"Slowly, slowly, slowly...... High! ”
The live DJ is very powerful to drive the atmosphere.
Lavoy hugged the bear directly, and the entire bench was jubilant, fangs and claws.
In 2.2 seconds, the Pelicans did not take a timeout, and it was difficult to even push through the half!
"It's overtime!"
"Beautiful, this ball is so beautiful! Of course, CJ's investment is also very exciting! Ke Fan explained.
"Is this really our new signing?"
Many fans at the scene were speechless with joy, and they kept clapping with their hands, Xu Xuan undoubtedly gave them too many surprises today!
There are no accidents, and the time of 2.2 seconds is just a blink of an eye.
Time is out.
102 to 102!
Regular time is tied and the two sides go into extra time!
Although the Pelicans dominated from start to finish, they didn't win the game in regulation time either.
With this three-point shot, the entire banker's life arena was jubilant!
"Yay."
"Well done, Xu."
Before Xu Xuan walked to the bench, Lavoy immediately jumped over and had a passionate chest bump with Xu Xuan.
"Of course, CJ you're great too!"
Xu Xuan's passing is crucial, but it is useless without CJ's winning three points.
On the Pacers' side, morale was high, so much behind, and it was tied at the last minute.
On the other hand, the mood of the Pelicans is very bad, they have always been the leader, and they are still so far ahead, and now they are sent to overtime, which is definitely a blow to the mentality!
Brother Thick Eyebrows sat on the bench with blank eyes.
He worked hard, he had 30 points, 4 assists, 14 rebounds today...... But they also scored in overtime.
Why?
There is no why!
That's the truth!
Tyrek Evans has a slightly better mentality, he's been through a lot over the years, and it's nothing!
You can still win it!
......
"Beep."
Extra time officially began, and the ball was jumped in the middle circle.
Hibbert jumps with Asik.
Asik jumps to win, Holiday gains the ball.
Looking at some of the fans on the sidelines who had already stood up to watch the game, Xu Xuan was in a stirring mood.
It was his first time playing overtime!
But no nervousness!
Extra time is also a game, as long as it's a game, then play it!
Pelicans Holiday holds the ball and pushes across half court.
Come to the right side and take possession.
Kick down the time and watch your teammates' movements.
Thick eyebrows are raised for cover.
Holiday borrowed the body of thick eyebrows to bypass Xu Xuan's defense.
Holiday came to the free-throw line, looked inside, and didn't have a chance.
At this time, Tyrek was on the right side of the free throw line with CJ Myers, and easily pushed Miles to the side, and as soon as the card was in place, he opened his hand to ask for the ball.
Holiday immediately gave the ball over.
Tyrek was mentally strong, placing the ball horizontally in front of his chest and posing in a triple threat pose.
CJ Miles stared at Tyreck's every move.
Tyrek didn't look down on anyone from the Pacers except Xu Xuan, one crossed his hands to dribble, the other accelerated, directly past CJ Myers, killed under the basket, and threw the board!
CJ Myers didn't interfere with him in any way, and the ball went into the net hollow.
104-102, Tyrek took the lead for the Pelicans.
After Tyrek scored the goal, he was very arrogant, put his finger to his mouth, scanned the audience with his eyes, and made a boo gesture to signal the audience to be quiet.
Watching his arrogant movements, the audience booed even more, and the Pacers players stared at him angrily.
"Psychological tactics!"
"Tyrek is trying to off the Pacers players!"
Xu Xuan also squinted at him, not breathing.
I'm not fooled.
After receiving the ball sent by Hibbert, Xu Xuan felt it, and felt a lot softer, feeling that the ball players were one.
Xu Xuan dribbled the ball through the half court with light steps.
Come two steps beyond the three-point line.
Looking up, his teammates were waiting for his tactical gestures.
Tactics?
There are no tactics!
Xu Xuan stood directly in place and jumped and pushed with the rhythm of his body!
Three points!
Hit the net!
