Chapter 152 152, narrowly won
In the coach's seat of the Warriors, Kerr is arranging the tactics of the last attack, there are many players with big hearts in the team, and the most reassuring thing for him is Curry, who has a long range and a fast shot, unless he doesn't score, it is difficult to defend.
Around Curry, a three-point tactic in the bottom corner was specially designed, with Durant holding the ball at the top of the three-point circle, attracting the bag, and after that, Thompson quickly interspersed and ran towards the three-point line on the right side, so that the left side would be vacated.
"Do you all remember?" Cole said, putting down the tactical board.
"Coach, don't worry, we have used this tactic many times, and this time, it will be us who wins!" Durant said confidently.
Since coming to the Warriors, Durant has completely let go of himself, and at this critical moment, he doesn't have to think about the same as before, and he has put the team on his shoulders alone.
On the Rockets' side, they have long expected that this shot will definitely be made by Curry, the team's boss, as for where to shoot, it is difficult to say, Curry's range is too far, and there will be almost no dead ends after half time.
"No matter how the tactics on the other side are arranged, our goal is to force Curry into the bottom corner, you know?" D'Antoni emphasized.
Instead of guessing where he will shoot, or take the initiative to force Curry where he wants, it depends on Paul, as long as Curry is forced to the bottom corner, Cheng Lei will go up to make up for the defense, and there is a high probability of breaking Curry's ball.
The game has reached the final stage, and the expressions of the coaches on both sides are extremely heavy, and no one knows who will win this game until the last minute.
"Ariza, your task is very heavy, you must block Durant with all your might!" D'Antoni emphasized.
Durant's personal ability is too strong to be sloppy.
"Don't worry, Durant will be handed over to me!" Ariza said, patting her chest.
"Ray, Thompson, are you sure?" D'Antoni looked at Cheng Lei and asked.
For a rookie, at such a very important moment, it is easy to commit some fatal things, and D'Antoni has to confirm it with Cheng Lei.
"Don't worry, coach, I'll do my best!"
Two pairs of players came on the pitch with eight seconds left in the game.
Pachulia came down and replaced Iguodala, the Warriors' sharpest death five, and he had a three-point ability at any point on the court.
The whole stadium fell silent, the atmosphere became unusually oppressive, and everyone held their breath in anticipation of the last eight seconds.
Iguodala sent the ball to the sideline, and Durant dropped out two meters outside the three-point line to catch the ball.
With eight seconds left, the Rockets didn't choose to take the risk of intercepting the pass, but let the ball go smoothly.
As soon as Durant got the ball, Ariza posted it directly, no matter how Durant dribbled, Ariza always maintained himself without losing position, and constantly took the initiative to physically confront Durant.
After Iguodala finished serving, he ran up directly, wanting to help Thompson do the blocking, Cheng Lei stared at Thompson, when Iguodala ran towards him, Cheng Lei had already taken a step ahead, deliberately spared, bought a flaw, let Thompson pass through, Cheng Lei followed from the side, this blocking and dismantling, did not make Thompson get rid of Cheng Lei's defense.
Three seconds have passed, and while Thompson moved up, Curry, who had not moved, began to move, running directly towards the other bottom corner, and after Curry passed, Green firmly stuck the position of the bottom line, so that Paul could not pass through at once.
Curry got to the position, Thompson also got to the position, ran directly to the top circle near the three-point line, helped Durant make a pick-and-roll, Durant had a short three-point shot, and when everyone thought Durant would shoot to end the game, he didn't shoot.
Instead, choose a horizontal pass and pass the ball to Curry, who has already reached the bottom corner.
Paul showed an imperceptible smile when he saw that Durant did not choose to shoot, but chose to pass, and it seemed that he was right, and, as expected, Curry chose to ambush in the bottom corner.
The moment Durant's ball was passed towards Curry, Cheng Lei immediately changed direction and pounced on Curry, and at the same time, Capela under the basket gave up defending Green and had already blocked Curry first.
There are two seconds left in the time, after Curry received the ball, he was directly ready to shoot, at this time, Capela had already blocked his face first, directly blocking Curry's shooting route, and now if he wants to pass back, time is not enough.
Curry clicked, took a lateral step, and a tiny space appeared, twisting and squeezing the ball out.
At this time, Cheng Lei rushed to the ground, mercilessly, and with a palm in the air, he directly flew the ball in the air.
Toot toot... The whistle blows, and the game is over!
No one thought that the Rockets would win this almost impossible game in this way.
The audience looked at the field in amazement, unable to believe their eyes, and even the commentators were silent, not knowing what words to use to describe the game.
The Warriors players looked unusually frustrated, all thinking that they had a chance to win, but as a result, they lost the game in this most unlikely form, before that, they had never seen before, garbage time, actually the person at the end of the bench, still a rookie, played a wave of supergiant performances, directly rewrote the final ending.
"Incredible, incredible! I've only seen this result in games! The commentator was silent for a moment, then began to exclaim.
"We witnessed a miracle, and this game is enough to go down in history."
"It's crazy, Lei's performance reminds me of Lin Madness back then, from him, I faintly feel a kind of superstar potential!"
Listening to the incredible words on the comment bench, all the members of the Rockets returned to the lounge, and now, the happiest is the general manager of the Rockets, Morey, a sign with a very poor position, actually won an absolute potential stock, which can only be said to be vicious.
Harden wrapped his feet in bandages for the sake of insurance, and when he saw the players come in, no one came up to hug him, this game is not easy to win.
"Well done, Ray!" Paul patted Cheng Lei on the shoulder hard.
This game not only shortened the distance between Cheng Lei and everyone, but also let everyone see Cheng Lei's strength.
Head coach D'Antoni looked at the statistics after the game, and smiled in his heart, Cheng Lei, isn't it the player he has been looking for that integrates offense and defense.
According to Cheng Lei's current height, he can defend the No. 1 to No. 3 position, and according to the technical characteristics he has shown, there is no problem at all in attacking the No. 1 to No. 3 position, so that his tactics can become diversified.
