Chapter 277: I've Disappointed You
The last two minutes of the game.
The Bucks went on offense.
The ball continued to be given to Yi Jianlian.
He sensed that Anthony didn't want to defend, so he continued to hit with his back.
It's just that this time George Karl didn't just watch him beat Anthony like that, and at the same time as he pulled to the high position, he let Kenyon Martin push up.
Now the Bucks' power forward on the court is Tygibson, a dynamic guy, but he doesn't have a three-point range, so Kenyon Martin has no fear.
It's just that Yi Jianlian still gave the ball to Tygibson, and the moment the ball came out, Yi Jianlian quickly turned around with Anthony and stepped into the free throw line first, while also stucking Anthony behind him.
Tejibson still has a bit of eyesight, and when he saw Yi Jianlian, he immediately predicted the earth in advance and passed it to Yi Jianlian.
This ball is very spiritual!
Yi Jianlian picked up the ball again, charged up and jumped, and Nene who was a beat slower didn't dare to press it up, for fear of being fouled, so he could only watch Yi Jianlian put the ball in.
57 points!
The score difference has widened and widened, and it has been stretched to 8 points.
Anthony saw that the hard work of the whole struggle was about to come to naught, and he had to stand up, the gaze in his eyes became more and more resolute, and he asked Chauncy Billups in advance for the ball, and slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, this time there was no extra triple threat posture, but simply shot outside the three-point line he expected.
Hand up and knife down.
Three-point hit.
There are still 5 points left in the difference.
But there are less than 40 seconds left in the game.
The Nuggets began to press the ball all over the court, and when they forced the ball into the hands of Tygibson, Kenyon Martin did not hesitate at all and committed a direct foul.
Let Tygibson be a rookie to make free throws at such a critical time.
George Carl is ruthless enough!
Don't you know about caring for the next generation?
Tygibson walked to the free throw line, "clang" twice, and lost both free throws, not because his psychological quality was not good, but because his free throws were a little weak, and now it is a critical period, so he is naturally more nervous.
Like Howard, it's normal to not score a penalty, it's not normal to score a penalty.
George Karl smiled like a second-class, his strategy succeeded, and the Nuggets had no effort and got a chance to attack.
Anthony forced a frontal kick, and the second he didn't dare to shoot, he chose to drive to the basket, spin a small spin top under the basket, and then wipe the board to score.
Closer by 2 points.
The Nuggets are just three points away.
Ready to continue to force the ball to Tygibson.
They can't foul the empty-handed Tygibson directly, and the league has a new rule that if a foul is intentionally committed on an off-ball player in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the fouled team will now be awarded a "two free throw" or "one free throw."
In any case, the ball will eventually be awarded to the team that was fouled.
It can be called the end of the "shark cutting tactic".
So if the Nuggets still want to foul Tygibson, they must first force the Bucks' ball into his hands.
But if Anthony scored a 3-pointer just now, then now there are only 2 points left, and they can't afford to take such a risk anymore, just defend the offense with peace of mind.
In the final analysis, Carmelo Anthony still lacks a bit of domineering, although he is from the local community, he does lack the courage to fight life and death on the court.
Just now, the Nuggets' pressure came suddenly, and the players on the Bucks, including Yi Jianlian, didn't react, but this time they all know what your idea is, and can you still do what you want?
Yi Jianlian and Mo Williams kept switching balls, and Tygibson helped block and send the ball to the frontcourt.
Seeing that Yi Jianlian entered the frontcourt, the Nuggets didn't dare to expand the defense line so much, so they could only return to the original state.
Time is running out, with the Bucks having fifteen seconds left on offense and twenty-four seconds left in the game, and the Nuggets have one offensive opportunity left.
As long as...... Just be able to prevent this ball!
“defence!”
“defence!”
“defence!”
There was a deafening cheer from the audience at the entire Pepsi Arena, and they all knew that this was a life-or-death goal for the Nuggets, and as long as the Bucks didn't score, then they still had a chance.
Although the difference is 3 points.
But that's just a one-goal difference!
But, Yi Jianlian, how to prevent this guy?
Under the deafening cheers, Yi Jianlian was still dribbling unhurriedly to press time, in front of him, Anthony put a step away, of course, this is because Yi Jianlian is still far from the three-point line, otherwise he will definitely pounce directly.
Kenyon Martin, and Nene ......
Yi Jianlian glanced at the position of the Nuggets' inner duo, both leaning on the high positions on both sides, this ball, these two must be defended.
In that case......
The attack time fell below ten seconds.
Yi Jianlian's gesture of dribbling changed, the center of gravity of his whole body was lowered, and while doing cross-dribbling, he slowly leaned towards Anthony.
Anthony didn't pounce directly, but stepped back first, he looked at the distance between Yi Jianlian and the three-point line, and his heart was ready, and he posted it at the same time as this guy was close to the three-point line.
Yi Jianlian was from far and near, and he also looked at the three-point line.
Three steps, two steps, and one more step......
Up?
Anthony was stunned for a moment.
Yi Jianlian shot directly at a distance of one step from the three-point line, Anthony thought that Yi Jianlian would shoot three points, but he didn't expect this guy to shoot in advance one step away from the three-point line.
"Huh!"
Yi Jianlian, who won the psychological game, hit a three-point shot.
This kind of empty three-pointer, even if he is still one step away from the three-point line, is not a difficult thing for him now!
The score difference is back to 6 points!
There was a sigh from the audience, and they knew that with only about eleven seconds left in the game, this point difference was enough for the Bucks to win!
However, while the sigh continued, the Nuggets called a timeout. They didn't give up!
After the pause, Xiao K arranged a heavy defense on Anthony, making him unable to catch the ball, but no one expected that Chauncey Billups suddenly came out of the bottom corner, caught the serve and turned around at the same time, and hit a three-point shot at a 45-degree angle.
The difference of 6 points has changed back to 3 points.
It took only three seconds for "Mr. Key" to get the suspense of the match going on again.
Fortunately, the Bucks did not make a mistake in the next round, Yi Jianlian held the ball steadily, and the Nuggets did not continue to foul, and they couldn't force the Bucks to make mistakes, even if they fouled, it was useless, they were just improving Yi Jianlian's score!
This guy scored high enough tonight, so don't send him to the free-throw line again.
In the end, the Bucks narrowly defeated the Nuggets by 3 points 108-105 and gnawed the first hard bone in four hard-fought battles.
"I heard that you all said before the game that I couldn't win a single game?"
At the post-game press conference, Yi Jianlian smiled directly as soon as he sat down: "I'm sorry to disappoint you!" ”
