Chapter 47: The Quilt

This season's Bobcats are a bit like the Rockets in the "post-Yao Ming era" in the two seasons.

Although they trailed by seven points at this point, Wallace did not have the slightest fluctuation in performance, and in the last three minutes of the third quarter, under his leadership, the Bobcats chased the deficit to one point remaining.

86-85, the two teams entered the fourth quarter.

The lead in the last three minutes of the third quarter was evident at this time, when the Bucks, who had rested early, returned to control the situation from the start, and the score expanded from one point to six points in two or three minutes.

The Bobcats have one problem in common with the Bucks, which is that their starting and bench prowess are too different.

Seeing that the collapse was imminent, Vincent had to let the Bobcats starters return to the court, at this time, the fourth quarter had just started two and a half minutes, that is, the season had just begun, the players' bodies had rested for a summer, and they were no longer so tired.

Elvis Presley and Slam Dunk King returned to the court to stabilize the morale of the Bobcats, and the score difference has been deadlocked, and the two teams have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The Bobcats' outside impact is very strong, but the height of the inside line is not enough, although they can grab rebounds, they can't cause too much damage, and the ball has been playing from the outside, where can the shooting rate be high?

Although the Bucks have a lot of points to score on the court, their outside defense is too poor, especially against Gerard Wallace and Richardson, there is no way to do it.

Fortunately, the defense was not enough, and the score was made, and Michael Reed and Mo Williams in the fourth quarter still maintained a good feel, and their shots with Yi Jianlian were scored.

When the game reached this time, Yi Jianlian's physical fitness was no longer so abundant, and Coach Xiao K saw it in his eyes, so he naturally would not forcibly arrange singles, so he mainly scored by blocking and dismantling the two shooters on the outside during this time.

Don't have to carry it so hard to play inside, Yi Jianlian's hand is also very good, and he has finished the attack well in several vacant positions.

With the play of these two small and one big, the Bucks maintained a six-point difference until the final two minutes.

It's just that the difference of 6 points to the last two minutes is not guaranteed, but has become a burden, once one is scored, there are still 4 points, and if a three-pointer is scored, there are only three points left.

With a three-point gap in the last minute, anything can really happen.

No one wants to be reversed at this juncture, and that feeling can't be relieved in one or two games, so at this moment, the entire attention of the players on the Bucks court is unusually focused, they don't want to lose, and they don't want to be the sinners who caused the team to lose.

"Guys, there are still two minutes left and we are only six points apart, believe me, it's not something that can't be done, it's our first home game of the new season, and we have a responsibility to put the fans at home in a good mood tonight, this goal, it must be scored!"

The Bucks don't want to lose, the Bobcats don't want to lose either, and this night means a lot to them, the first home game with the team logo and team slogan changed, they have to hold on!

This time, Filton did not pass the ball after half court as before, but dribbled the ball and constantly forced Mo Williams to step back and forced the Bucks to shrink the defense.

"Mo, be tough!"

Xiao K saw that the Filton guy was fast forward to the three-point line with both feet, and Yi Jianlian, who was behind Mo Williams, was already in place, and hurriedly shouted to let Mo Williams put pressure on this guy.

Mo Williams had already wanted to dig it, but he was worried that the steal would not be out of position, and when he heard Xiao K's order, he immediately pounced on Felton.

There was a counterattack on the defensive end here, and Richardson on that side also suddenly moved, moving in the direction of Felton, Michael Reed, who had been sticking to the "dunk king", was very focused, and as soon as the former moved, he also moved immediately, but before he went to either side, a figure appeared in front of him to block him.

Looking up, it was Gerard Wallace, a standard off-ball screen stance.

"Not good!"

Michael Reid subconsciously shouted, but it was too late.

Felton on the other side noticed that Richardson, who had escaped from defense, was outside the three-point line on the right behind him, and immediately pulled the ball back.

Slam dunk king Richardson also has a nickname called the three-point king, which is used to describe his accurate three-point shooting, the knife falls, the ball "smack" into the basket, 6 points difference, only 3 points left.

“rise and fall!”

“rise and fall!”

“Rise and fall!”

Richardson's goal ignited the atmosphere to the extreme, and the Bobcats' new slogan once again echoed over Time Warner Arena.

"Pause, pause, pause!" Xiao K saw the momentum soaring, and quickly called a pause.

Michael Reid gritted his braces and walked off the court, Mason's expression was not much better, and both of them made big mistakes on the defensive end this round!

"Ho!"

And Richardson had a passionate shoulder bump with Wallace, just now the two of them really cooperated tacitly, that ball is definitely not Vincent's tactical arrangement, he wants to arrange tactics like this, where will the Bobcats play so hard, this is really a stroke of inspiration for these two people, plus Felton's overall view is good.

"Guys, there are 3 points left, see if there is any, we have a chance, defend against the guys raised by Bichi, score another goal, what awaits us is victory!"

The Bobcats players listened to Wallace's voice and felt more and more passionate, which is probably the leadership of Gerard Wallace.

His words are infectious!

"OK, forget that goal, next, it's time for us to counterattack!" On the other side of the referee's bench, Xiao K drew arrows quickly on the tactical board, and at the same time kept saying: "We don't need to score a three-pointer, be steady, play a successful offense, even if it's just a foul and a free throw, we still have a four-point advantage!" ”

What does a quarter mean? It would take two rounds to be overtaken, and in the final minute or so, the lead of two rounds was already a big lead.

"So, keep the ball first, then play tactically!"

The suspension ends.

The boos from the sidelines were louder again, but fortunately Mo Williams was not Storey, he was more experienced, completely unaffected by off-field factors, and calmly controlled the ball.

After the 24-second attack entered the last 15 seconds, he began to command his teammates to run unhurriedly, skillfully bypassing the cover given by Yi Jianlian, and after attracting the bag defense, he gave the ball to Yi Jianlian, who was completely empty.

Golden opportunity!

Yi Jianlian jumped immediately, and the shooting action was done in one go at the same time as he jumped.

"Oooo

The sudden sound of footsteps next to him made his heart tighten, and then a large dark face appeared in front of him, facing him with a bloody mouth, and the dirty braids on the back of his head were particularly eye-catching.

It was Gerard Wallace, no one knew where he came from, "Smack! "A very clean big hat, Yi Jianlian's ball was fanned out as soon as he shot.

"Rookie, Mr. Key is not so easy to be! You've got to learn a little more! Gerard Wallace, who landed on the ground, pouted, pointed at Yi Jianlian with his finger, and raised his eyebrows lightly, "Don't cry!" ”

Depend on!

Yi Jianlian gritted his teeth, and he didn't say anything to fight back for a long time, and he had nothing to say about this cap.
