Chapter Ninety-Three: "Expecting the Enemy to Win"
Carter can't guard Curry, and rightfully so, even the best defensive perimeter can't completely limit it.
When Curry has a good hand, even if his movements are deformed and his shots are rushed, he can still put the basketball into the basket.
Back-to-back three-pointers gave the Wizards the lead on the court again.
Van Gundy didn't hesitate and called a timeout.
It's the fourth quarter of the game, no matter which side is fighting for every ball, Curry has a good hand, Van Gundy has to find a way to interfere with and destroy Curry's hand, just like Wang Xiao used shark slashing tactics to target Howard.
Carter is already the best player on the outside of the Magic team, and even he can't guard Curry, so if you want to limit Curry, one player's play is obviously not enough.
After the timeout, when Curry held the ball, the defenders had become two.
Double Tight Bag Clip!
Van Gundy's response was so decisive that he didn't care that the bag would empty the rest of the Wizards.
Van Gundy's judgment proved right, and the skinny Curry was a little scrambled when faced with the bag, and when he found a gap in the bag between two players to pass the basketball out, there was enough time for the rest of the Magic team to quickly switch defenses.
Although the Wizards were able to pull up space for shooting in the end by passing the ball, the shooting percentage of the rushed shots was still a little unsatisfactory.
The scores of the two teams began to burn for a while, and the Magic team could only score with Howard's free throws, while the Wizards' three-point shooting rate began to decrease.
At this point, the game has evolved into a battle of willpower, and if the side can't bear it first, the side will lose immediately.
"It's a really tight game, with 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the score is currently 104-105, the Magic are one point behind at home, but the ball is now in their hands......"
"Defend this ball! As long as we can defend it, the victory will be ours! ”
Wang Xiao said loudly on the sidelines.
Now that the team is in the lead, it is impossible for him to continue to use the shark slashing tactic, and if Howard is lucky enough to hit two free throws, wouldn't it be a situation where the lead will be buried for nothing?
Defend this ball, keep the rebound, and this game can be won!
For this reason, Wang Xiao changed to the current lineup with the strongest defensive ability of the team when he died just now.
On the outside is Beverley, Green and Miller, and on the inside is a combination of Haywood and Jordan Jr.
Wang Xiao doesn't believe it, Haywood and Jordan Jr., two blue-collar players, are on the court, can they still lose to Howard in rebounding?
As it turns out, the flag can't just be set up randomly.
The outside of the Magic team did not find any good offensive opportunities under the strict defense of Beverley and others, and Howard on the inside was also unable to fall under Jordan Jr.'s desperate position to receive the ball and play inside singles.
In the end, the Magic, like the Wizards, used pick-and-roll tactics to open up a little shooting space and shoot shots.
"Box!" The basketball slammed into the hoop and bounced high.
It's a long rebound!
Hywood, Jordan Jr. jumped almost at the same time.
But Howard jumped earlier and higher than the two of them.
The physical fitness of the Warcraft is fully revealed at this time!
Howard almost pressed Haywood and Jordan Jr., picked up the rebound, and immediately pulled it up after landing, and dunked the basketball into the basket!
"Whoop——!
The stadium was boiling in an instant, and the fans at the Magic's home stadium all chanted Howard's name and shouted MVP!
With this slam dunk, Howard has scored his 49th point of the game, which has broken the highest single-game score of his career, and is only 1 point away from the 50-point club mark!
Wang Xiao immediately called a timeout, which was also the team's last timeout.
With 10 seconds left in the game, the Wizards are only one point behind, and there is still a chance to make a comeback!
Looking at the players who came up, Wang Xiao was about to open his mouth to arrange a lore tactic, but he was suddenly stunned.
He remembered the SSS-level item card he had obtained in the previous draw, and he expected the enemy to win.
Obviously, the current situation is perfect for using this item card.
Now it's just an NBA regular season, and it stands to reason that 500 win points shouldn't be wasted.
But Wang Xiao thought about it, and felt that he hadn't used this prop card yet, and he had no idea what this thing did, so it was still necessary to try it in advance to see how it worked.
Besides, the players in today's game are all working so hard, and if they lose, they won't be motivated.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao immediately called out the system interface and chose to pay 500 victory points to use the "Anticipate the Enemy to Win" item card.
"Item Card Activated."
As soon as the system said this, Wang Xiao was in front of him, followed by a 3-plane animation graphic in front of him, which looked a bit like the future popular NBA2K series of games.
There is a basketball court with 10 players on the court.
Wang Xiao can see clearly that among the 10 players, 5 are red and 5 are blue, the red players represent Wang Xiao's team, and the blue side represents the opponent, that is, the Orlando Magic team.
Wizards player Butler served on the sideline, the other four players kept running, and finally the basketball was handed to Curry, and when Curry received the ball, three blue players immediately rushed up to surround Curry.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao's brows couldn't help jumping.
He's really ready to let Curry make the last shot, after all, Curry is the most accurate on the team.
But the holographic picture in front of him made him speechless.
Ginger is really old and spicy, and Van Gundy had expected that he would let Curry perform the last shot, so he directly arranged a three-man bag.
Under the pressure of three players, Curry finally passed the ball, but time was running out, and Butler, who received the pass, made a hasty shot and missed the basket.
When the whistle blew for Howard to snatch the rebound and the game was over, the holographic image in front of Wang Xiao began to dissipate.
"Coach?"
The hologram rehearsed the next 10 seconds of the game for Wang Xiao, but in reality, it was only a second or two in the past.
The players who gathered over were a little surprised to see the head coach suddenly freeze.
However, Wang Xiao reacted immediately. "I'm sorry to get distracted, let's ...... next"
Now that the results are known, it is naturally much easier to set up.
The time for the short timeout was fast in coming, and the players from both sides returned to the court, and the Wizards changed players once again.
Curry, Harden, Nick. Young, Butler and Jamison take the stage.
These five positions are all players who are extremely capable of scoring and can go far and close.
But when the players stood still and started running, it was Curry who rushed out of the perimeter to reach for the ball.
Seeing this, Van Gundy couldn't help but smile on his face.
Sure enough, I won!
But the next moment, the smile on his face turned to stunned, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
How can it be?
