Chapter Forty-Eight: The Final Scuffle

"Well done, Gerald, look at how deflated this Chinese kid looks!"

"Hahaha, I've been upsetting him for a long time!"

"Sure enough, it's a rookie, so I won't use it at a critical time, right?!"

On the field was Wallace's icy gaze, and in his ears were the taunting voices of Bobcats fans from outside the field.

"OK, OK, no problem, easy, keep your mentality, the ball is still ours!"

Xiao K hurriedly shouted to Yi Jianlian, who was a little stunned, at this time in the game, if Yi Jianlian had any fluctuations in his psychology because of this ball, it would be a little disadvantageous.

"Believe in yourself, Yi, it's just an attack miss, it's not a big deal!" Big brother Michael Reid also quickly communicated with Yi Jianlian when he was in position, and of course he didn't forget to pat his ass again when he parted.

"OK, I know, it's not over yet!" Yi Jianlian nodded, shook his head, and refocused himself.

Bogut sent the ball to Mo Williams, because Yi Jianlian's ball did not touch the basket, although the ball belonged to the Bucks, but the 24-second offensive time limit was not reset, and there were 4 seconds left, and there was no cooperation, Mo Williams could only force his own shot.

"Bang dang", under the tight defense, Mo Williams' shot missed.

"Defend back, guys, stay focused, we're ahead!" Xiao K is still encouraging his group of players, but everyone can see that his expression is already a little impatient, with the current momentum of the Bobcats, they didn't score this goal, and the next game will be difficult to play!

Sure enough, there were no surprises, and the Bobcats scored another goal, thanks to the combination of Richardson and Wallace, who hit the board with a mid-range throw.

Fortunately, it was a two-point shot, and the Bucks still had a one-point lead.

But the scene at Time Warner Arena seemed to have been reversed, with the beating, shouting, and screaming of the cheering sticks ringing out together, and the Bucks players were like a boat in the ocean in this cheer, swaying in the wind and rain, and could be overturned at any time.

Little K can only call another timeout.

But at this time, the scene of Time Warner Arena was not controllable at all, even if it was suspended, there were still all kinds of shouts one after another, and Xiao K tried to improve the tone of his speech, but it still didn't help.

Fortunately, everyone can understand the tactical board, in the tactical arrangement, the first choice opportunity is Michael Reed, there is no doubt that this kind of critical time naturally has to give the ball to the core, but his second choice opportunity is still Yi Jianlian, which is a bit surprising, after all, just a few seconds ago, Yi Jianlian was just covered a, and he still believes in this newcomer.

Looking at the layout on the tactical board, the guys of the Bucks finally understood Yi Jianlian's position in Xiao K's mind, especially Mo Williams, he knew that he would never have the opportunity to compete with Yi Jianlian for the ball and status, so let's play honestly according to the tactical requirements in the future!

"OK kids, I don't have anything more to say, winning is the only thing we have to do tonight, give me five! Enough time! ”

30 seconds is very short, and when it comes to tactics, Xiao K has no time to say any more encouraging words, so he hurriedly high-fives, and the beep that symbolizes the timeout time is also sounding.

Xiao K threw the tactical board to the assistant coach behind him, looking worried, there are 32 seconds left in the clock, the Bucks are one point ahead, the game has come to this point, it is out of his control, and the final result depends on the Bucks' own play!

He doesn't have any timeouts anymore!

The good news is that Vincent on the opposite side is the same, and there is no chance of a timeout. Whether it's life or death depends on the few offensive and defensive rounds that come next.

It's up to you to win your first win of the season, kids!

“rise and fall!”

“rise and fall!”

“rise and fall!”

The restlessness of the home crowd outside the court continued, Mo Williams, who had the ball, barely kept his composure, carefully dribbling the ball to drag out the time, and the Bobcats players did not dare to wrap it up easily, after all, it was only one point, and even if the Bucks ran out of 24 seconds, then they could have 8 seconds left to attack, as long as the ball was well defended, the situation would be reversed in an instant, and the initiative would become them.

So, if you want to delay the time, as long as you can't score a goal!

The game time kept passing in the process of Mo Williams dribbling on the spot, and there were only 19 seconds left in the blink of an eye after 32 seconds, and Mo Williams finally moved, and as soon as he moved, the entire defensive formation of the Bobcats also moved.

This is a very obvious area joint defense. The purpose was clearly to keep Mo Williams from communicating with the other players.

The Bobcats' defensive changes this time were something that Mo Williams didn't expect, because NBA coaches rarely use zone defense, and it seems that the Bobcats really greeted every move in order to win the home opener!

Constantly dribbling back and forth outside the three-point line, the Bucks' 24-second offensive time was constantly draining, and in the last four seconds, Mo Williams still couldn't find Michael Reed or Yi Jianlian who got rid of the defense.

"No matter!" Seeing that he was about to violate the rule in 24 seconds, Mo Williams stepped on the accelerator and had to choose to attack by himself. The third choice of the small K tactic is Mo Williams himself.

Unfortunately, as soon as he entered the three-point line, Filton and Richardson immediately formed an encirclement of closing the door and beating the dog.

At this time, in fact, the Bucks had an open space, but there were no 2 seconds left in the 20-second offensive time, and another pass was definitely a violation, and Mo Williams could only throw the ball himself.

"Bang dang!"

There is no doubt that this kind of strong investment is definitely not possible.

The ball smashes into the basket, then bounces up to the highest point and falls.

"Rebound!" Off the field, Little K and Vincent shouted almost at the same time.

"Easy (Emeka)!" On the court, the players of the Bucks and Bobcats also shouted at the same time as they ran, Yi Jianlian and Okafor, judging from the trajectory of the basketball pop-up, they are the two closest interior players.

"Ho!"

Okafor jumped up first, his lower body strength was better than Yi Jianlian's, and he grabbed a very advantageous position under the basket. But Yi Jianlian did not give up, and also jumped, his arm span and bounce height were better than Okafor, and at the same time that Okafor's hand was about to touch the basketball, his hand also followed, quickly picking the ball, destroying Okafor's rebound, which could have been in the bag.

"Shh

Yi Jianlian leaned on his waist and abdomen in the air, and the moment he landed, his legs and stomach couldn't help but weaken, and he finally stabilized his center of gravity - until now, the fight with Okafor has made his physical fitness crisis.

But, that's the last ball!

Hold on, and we'll win!

Yi Jianlian gritted his teeth again, exerted his leg again, and chased towards the basketball.

Okafor was still one step faster than him, but Yi Jianlian's plucking ball just now moved the ball to the other end, much closer to Bogut and Muhammad, but Okafor was slower.

Boggart still had an advantage over Muhammad, and he hugged the ball, but as soon as he landed, his two hands were not yet steady, and Okafor, who rushed to the scene, slapped the ball away.

He went for a foul, but he just missed the ball.

The ball hit the floor and bounced, right in front of Okafor.

Ready to attack!

Okafor subconsciously glanced at the outside of his house, Richardson and Wallace were already fast, and if the ball was passed, it would definitely score two points.

Two points!

That's the reversal!

"Don't you think about it!"

The idea was good, but the moment his hand was about to touch the basketball, a guy wearing a green No. 9 pounced and cut the ball off early.

“No!”

Okafor shouted in his mouth, and his subconscious action was to continue shooting, Yi Jianlian was still smart, the moment he touched the ball, he hugged the basketball, as if he was protecting the most precious thing.

"Smack"

A small sound sounded, and a hot feeling came from his forearm, and the pain almost made Yi Jianlian's ball fall out of his hand.

"Toot!"

Fortunately, the referee's whistle also sounded in the next second. This whistle sounded to Yi Jianlian, who was grinning with his teeth, no less than the sound of heaven.

Yi Jianlian threw the basketball to the referee, the pain in his forearm made him squint unconsciously, but the corners of his mouth curled up, and he turned to the angry Okafor in front of him: "It seems that we won!" ”
