Chapter 400: Chase to 1 point

The more you get to the last moment, the more nervous the audience's hearts become. Because although the current Spurs team has the victory in their hands, as long as it is not until the last moment, everything is still possible.

When Filton stepped to the free-throw line, the cheers of the home fans suddenly dropped, and people didn't want to put pressure on him.

This is also at home, and if it is an away game, the spectator bench opposite the free throw line will already play a variety of tricks. Because countless viewers will think that players will also be affected off the field.

Not really, or very rarely. Because the more last-minute it is, the more players who take the ball are the best free throwers. So at this time, the foul tactic is often to send points.

After the first penalty was struck, the audience also burst into warm applause. But when it came time for the second penalty, people immediately calmed down.

The silence of the stadium of more than 20,000 people can be heard like a needle falling on the ground.

That's the fun of the NBA, people love the feeling of being hung up. Felton's second free throw was also secure.

Even Felton, a super free-throw shooter who usually shoots 90% from the free throw line, will be so nervous that his hands will tremble as he approaches the final free throw of the game.

But he did it anyway. With those two points hitted, the game was back in the hands of the Spurs.

Although they still have to contend with the Lakers' timeout, and then restart the tactics of strong three-point shooting. Or fight for two points, and then bet on the opponent's free throw to miss.

But either way, in the end, it's certainly not the situation Spurs want to see. The most important purpose is to defend on their side.

After all, they have the best defensive player, the Simpkins. Regardless of whether Zhang Yi can continue his miracle touch, the Spurs have a high probability of completing the defense.

It's a game of mentality. It was also Zhang Yi's most tense last moment after beating the Warriors. Even more tense than that one.

After all, the Spurs are not the Warriors, and the core Curry will be pressed back to the bench at the most critical moment. Not to mention that it was the Lakers who took the lead in the final moments of that game.

Now the situation has completely reversed. Faced with a possible first loss of the new season, the Lakers felt like they were being choked by the throat.

Regardless of whether Zhang Yi made a move or not, he had to foul immediately after this attack. And it must not be committed to Simpkins. You can continue to look for Felton.

Because if a person is sent to the free throw line consecutively, then even the best free throwers are likely to make one or two free throws.

It's not a rule that anyone summed up, but it's like that a lot of the time. Because no matter how big the heart is, a star will be nervous, as long as it is human.

Now Zhang Yi's palms are all sweaty. It's not that he didn't dare to make a shot, but this shot was too crucial. He wanted to hit it so much.

The whole Spurs team knows that as long as they guard against Zhang Yi at the last moment, everyone will know that no matter what the situation, their eyes are on him.

Including the countless home fans on the scene. When Zhang Yi receives the ball, it will be boos from the audience.

"Hey, bro, don't be nervous! If it doesn't work, give it to me! Robert said this, but he wasn't joking, because of his three-point ability, he didn't think he would lose to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi nodded, although at the last moment, it was best for the core to make a move. But he's got the ability to play and the Lakers have good shooters, so they definitely have other options.

In fact, the Spurs have also fully thought of this, in addition to Zhang Yi, Robert is also their key target.

Aside from the two of them, the Lakers' temporary all-shooter lineup is not worth focusing on because they are basically impossible to withstand the pressure.

And if they shoot, it means that even if they are on defense, they will not be affected. Shooters are like that, sometimes it's more accurate to have a defense than to be without it.

If Zhang Yi hadn't hit a three-pointer for his team in the final moments, he wouldn't have been defended by the Spurs.

But obviously, Simpkins alone has no way to defend Zhang Yi immediately after blocking and dismantling.

So when it comes to defending Zhang Yi near the outside, the players have become Simpkins and Hook, who was originally on the inside. It's not that people ignore Wall-E, it's that in moments like this, even if Wall-E is an open spot, it doesn't make much sense for him to score two points.

The only way for the Lakers to win or make it to overtime is to shoot three-pointers.

The man who serves in the middle line is Walli, and all the players with three-point ability are lined up in a line. God knows how Zhang Yi will rush out.

But Simpkins stuck to his side. Coupled with Hook, the two of them prevented him from slipping into the bottom line, and the other prevented him from sparing people outside.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Yi's forehead, because he knew that no matter which way he went, he would not simply throw the defender.

And at this time, if you look for Robert, it is not the best choice.

It can be seen that he is also being targeted by the Spurs, and if it is passed to others, Zhang Yi is really not at ease to be honest. Because the other shooters didn't even shoot 4 percent from three-point range, they were just barely able to shoot three-pointers.

The situation is too troublesome now. Wait for Wali to pass the ball, of course, to Zhang Yi as everyone expected. It's just that to everyone's surprise, Zhang Yi did not choose to go outside, but chose to kill under the basket......

Simpkins was stunned, thinking to himself if this guy was stupid, and now people would let him shoot two points. In the next game, the Spurs will control the situation, and even if Zhang Yi makes a shot, then the game will end early.

But just when the center of gravity of the defense shrank because Zhang Yi burst to the basket, although there were still two defenders standing in front of Robert, it was precisely because of this that there was no one to defend in front of Vali.

No one could have imagined that a big man would stay on the outside at this time, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

I saw Zhang Yi holding the ball for a layup, and then immediately passed a quick straight ball in the crowd to find Wali. This is the crowd looking back and being frightened.

Because WALL-E didn't pass the ball again after receiving it, but made a standard shooter position, who said big men can't shoot?

I saw him shoot a three-point shot, and as the basketball swept through the air, everyone's breath was suffocated. Because the Spurs' defensive focus is wrong.

They left their opponents a chance. Even if this situation is a hit, it will be accepted by everyone.

The result was also as expected by the Spurs players. Even if the basketball spun around the frame, it eventually slipped in.

Vali jumped up excitedly. Because from the point of luck of luck, the goddess of victory seems to be on the side of the Lakers.

With this goal, the difference became 1 point!
