Kevin. Durant's desire to win a championship is stronger than any other player on the Warriors, because he chose to come to the city for the championship in the first place, and he is one of the few players on this Warriors team who has not touched a championship trophy.

Therefore, Durant plays very seriously in every game. He did everything he could, taking every opportunity possible. He is well aware that the issue of a contract extension for the Warriors this summer will be very difficult. And Durant has also decided that he will not take a pay cut.

When the time comes, no one knows who will leave and who will stay in this team, what will become of it, and even where he will go.

So, this is Durant's best chance to win the championship.

Thinking of this, Durant called a cover. He can't mess around, but he has to make sure of these crucial final rounds.

After the cover, Durant made a decisive shot in the gaps seconds before the Pacers finished switching defenses. A three-point shot sent the hearts of Warriors fans beating wildly. Everyone knows how important this shot is to the Warriors.

However, Durant did not disappoint the fans and did not let himself down. His three-point shot was accurate, and he scored his 28th point of the game. Durant won't give up his home court easily!

"The ball went in, and the time left for the Pacers was only 1 minute and 11 seconds. The three-pointer was very important and allowed the Warriors to take the initiative in the last minute. Coach Henson didn't call a timeout, he looked confident! ”

Mike. Brin marvels at Henson's confidence, but Henson doesn't know why he's nervous.

In six years of his career, Henson doesn't know how many key rounds he has experienced. He felt that such moments were much easier than announcing in front of fans and reporters that he would not stay.

The Warriors don't dare to wrap it up because they know how balanced the Pacers' roster is on the offensive end.

So, Cousins has to face Antetokounmpo alone. However, judging from the performance in the period leading up to the fourth quarter, Cousins will still have a hard time keeping up with the Greeks.

Cousins' form this season is nowhere near the same as his prime, and whether it is his grasp on the offensive end or the dynamism on the defensive end, Cousins is nowhere near as good as he was during the Kings and Pelicans. It is unknown whether Cousins will be able to sign a big contract next season.

On the surface, the Warriors are a Big Five lineup. But this year, Cousins and Green's performance was not as good as people remembered.

Seeing that it was Cousins defending himself, Antetokounmpo began to change hands under his crotch. The fancy dribble isn't Antetokounmpo's forte, but against Cousins, he's more than adequately possessed.

As soon as Antetokounmpo activated, Cousins actively posted it. The injury-plagued big center smiled, and he completely blocked Antetokounmpo's breakthrough space!

But Antetokounmpo did not stop the ball, but turned his back and easily wiped into the penalty area!

Green and Durant immediately rushed to the basket, and although they knew it would leak, it was better to bet on the Pacers' three-pointers than to watch Antetokounmpo dunk an empty basket.

The odds of which goal is greater, three-point or dunk, even a small child can tell the difference.

Antetokounmpo then counted and distributed the ball to P.J. Tucker.

Last season, Tucker was a nightmare for the Warriors. The guy's toughness on the defensive end, aggressiveness on rebounds and threat from beyond the three-point line caught Green off guard.

I thought that this year, after adding Cousins, Tucker would no longer be a threat. As everyone knows, he is still a nightmare for the Warriors.

Tucker catches the ball and shoots, with the corner being his favorite shooting spot. This strong man, who is less than 2 meters tall but often plays inside, has a very soft hand, and in the desperate eyes of the Warriors, Tucker hit a three-point shot to equalize the score!

"It went in, and the Pacers bit the score. With 50 seconds left in the game, the Warriors have the ball, and they still have the initiative! ”

The moment Tucker scored, the Pacers' bench was jubilant. But Henson just applauded calmly, and said nothing.

This is the strongest lineup he can come up with, and in order to beat the Warriors with this lineup, Henson has been hiding for a season. He is full of confidence in this lineup, and in his opinion, this lineup is impossible to miss!

The last two rounds, for both sides, were one attack and one defense. In other words, whoever can score and prevent others from scoring is considered to have won the game. The 48 minutes of hard work will be reflected by the final attack and defense.

Kerr used up the last timeout in his hand, and how long would it take to wait until he didn't use it at this time? He made it clear that the Warriors wanted three points, and he didn't want to give the Pacers any chance to kill the game.

Without a doubt, Durant, who has the hottest touch, is Kerr's last option. After returning from the timeout, with Curry and Thompson actively contained, Durant got a fleeting shot.

This shot is likely to feel that this game is life and death, but not all players have the courage to complete the shot. But for Durant, shooting at this moment is not a problem at all!

Durant's basketball shot went over Siakam and went into the net for the second time in a row! With three more points, the Warriors took a key lead in the last 23 seconds of the game!

Henson immediately called a timeout, and the audience was jubilant. In the eyes of Warriors fans, Durant has all but killed the game. Next, the Warriors only need to hold on to the Pacers' three-point shot, and they're done!

"They're going to be going to stick to our three-point shots, so it's hard for us to get our chances."

As soon as the players came off the pitch, Henson informed them of the worst.

'But we don't want a two-pointer, we have to have a three. I need you to have about five seconds or so to score five seconds before the end of the game, whether you have a chance or not. If there's a distraction, shoot against it! ”

Everyone looked at Henson strangely, it didn't look like his coaching style. Typically, Henson will find the right opportunity to pull off the deadliest shot, rather than leaving his players to shoot against the defense.

Seeing that everyone had doubts, Henson smiled slightly, "If you can't make it, don't rush to make up for it." Everybody, I'm talking everybody, trying to grab offensive rebounds. Once the opportunity for a second offense presents itself, the Warriors' defense will be in disarray. The person who gets the rebound has to pass the ball to the bottom left corner as soon as possible, and I need someone to be there at all times. ”

Becky of the auditors. Harmon gasped, Henson's tactics were really bold.

'If all goes well, we'll equalise about five seconds before the end of the game. At that point, there was no timeout for either side, and the Warriors had to serve a baseline shot. Then it's easy, don't foul easily, but use your slender arms and more dominant height to force them to make mistakes! We're already on the line, guys. Victory, you have to grab it back! ”

Henson finished arranging, and a beep rang out. He clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to come out. Returning to home and winning the championship is Henson's only plan, and it can't be broken!

"After the timeout, neither side changed formations. The Pacers are still the ultimate lineup, and the Warriors are still regular starters. This offense is crucial for the Pacers, and whether they can go home happily or not depends on this last offense. ”

"Block the three-point line, block the three-point line!" Narrated offstage, Steve. Cole's shouting was so loud that even Mike, who was wearing headphones. Brin could hear it.

There's no doubt that the Warriors will put a wall outside the three-point line. The Pacers want 2 points? The Warriors would be more than happy to do so. They will stay firm beyond the three-point line and will never give any chance to shrink.

The referee blows the whistle and Antetokounmpo kicks off. He handed the ball to George and cut inside. Siakam, meanwhile, crossed runs with Kuzma and came out to catch the ball. Tucker gave them off-ball cover, and it seems that the Pacers' tactics are to shoot three-pointers!

"Hmph, win!" Kerr applauded in his heart, and he was confident in his team's defense this time.

George handed the ball to Kuzma, who likes to take key shots with surprise options, so people are not surprised to see Kuzma come out to catch the ball.

But with Thompson's close press, Kuzma didn't get space. The Warriors were determined to defend against three-point shots, and no matter who Henson used to shoot, it didn't have the effect of surprise.

Henson shook his head, the situation was the same as he imagined, he had no chance at all!

Kuzma hesitated, he was always just a second-year rookie. It is really difficult for him to shoot against the defense at the critical moment of the finals.

So, he continued to pass the ball, and this time, it was the more lethal Siakam who received the basketball!

Siakam is a lot bolder, catch the ball and shoot! But where can Durant get him? Siakam scored 32 points in the first game, and he already felt ashamed enough. Today, no one will be a hero except Durant himself!

So, Durant raised his long arm high and almost blocked the basketball. Siakam had to raise the arc for this, and the result of the arc was that the basketball hit the front of the basket!

"Boom!"

"Didn't go in, the Pacers missed the chance to kill, the Warriors won!"

Mike. Brin shouted excitedly, and Durant, Curry, and Thompson immediately rushed to the frontcourt. If they fight back again, they will have a firm grasp of victory!

Coming down 0-2 to win two games in a row is exciting just to think about.

However, the long ball from the back that fans were expecting did not come. P.J. Tucker stepped into the box at some point, caught up with Cousins, and grabbed the rebound in the front court.

At that moment, the entire Oracle Arena was enveloped in fear. Tucker didn't hesitate, and before he could hit the ground in the air, he passed the ball directly to the bottom left corner.

As Henson said, there will be someone there to answer. And at this time, it was Paul, who was most deadly. George!

"Fuck ......"

Before Cole could finish scolding, George made a decisive move. With three Warriors players already rushing to the frontcourt, George was left unguarded.

The No. 13 forward was born for the big picture, so he took the shot. He proved that he really is a legendary player under a legendary coach!

George got up and down with a knife and hit a three-point shot! There was a dead silence in the game, and the Pacers equalized again in the last 5.2 seconds of the game!

"P.J. Tucker, he grabbed a valuable frontcourt rebound! The Pacers equalized in the final minute and there is a good chance that there will be overtime in this game! ”

Kevin. Harlan felt like he was out of breath, and the atmosphere was breathtaking. However, if he knew the truth, he would definitely be even more suffocated. Because Henson didn't want to play any overtime at all, he wanted to kill the game in 5.2 seconds without a timeout!

As soon as Cousins was about to serve the ball, he found that the Pacers' pressing defense was very decisive.

Kerr swallowed, he thought it was just luck that the Pacers were able to "pick up" an offensive rebound and score. But seeing the other party's pressing so decisively, he suddenly realized that everything was arranged by Henson just now!

Shoot the basketball, grab the rebound, attack twice and then press the whole court...... Henson used the last timeout to arrange everything! He doesn't fight unprepared battles, and he doesn't plan to let the Warriors return to Indianapolis with a 2-2 scoreline.

"Be careful, pass carefully!" Cole shouted from the sidelines, but there was no guarantee how much such a shout would have an effect.

Becky. Harmon felt the pain in his palms, and when he looked down, he realized that his nails were so nervous that they had sunk into the flesh.

Looking up at Henson again, the Chinese man in the Armani suit was still calm. Becky. Harmon shook her head, at least for that point, she didn't think she would be as good as Henson in her life.

With no timeout, Cousins had to pass the ball out of the time of the service violation. So, with Curry not completely getting rid of the defense, Cousins passed!

If it's against the average No. 1 position, Curry believes he can get the basketball. But at this time, it was George, who was tall and long-armed, with the defense library!

George did not hesitate to fight fiercely, then stretched out his arms and successfully destroyed Cousins' baseline ball!

Cole's heart was shocked, and he could only pray over and over again: "Don't enter, don't enter!" ”

The basketball was destroyed, but no one could control it. Tucker rode a thousand and took the initiative to fall to the ground and pounce on the ball. Next, Draymond. Green lunged on it as well, slamming down on Tucker.

Green's weight of 104 kilograms is not slim, and being pressed by him like this, coupled with the guy's rough scrambling movements, Tucker must not be comfortable at this time.

But the tough guy held on, and he calmly passed the ball on the ground. Antetokounmpo burst out of the crowd and picked up the basketball.

Kerr slumped to the bench and felt his heart stop beating for a few seconds.

That feeling of suffocation made Cole unforgettable for the rest of his life.

"Bang!"

"Beep~~~~"

Slam dunk, lights on, whistle blows. There was silence as Antetokounmpo roared to the sky.

It took about a second for the audience to react to what had happened. Everyone on the Pacers' bench immediately poured into the court and surrounded Antetokounmpo!

"Absolutely...... Lore, lore! Yang Nis. Antetokounmpo, who ended the game with a dunk! The tenacious Pacers, who used the last 5.2 seconds to veto the Warriors' 48-minute effort! Great team, great players, great coach! 3-1, the Pacers got the match point. They're going to meet again in the O'Brien Cup, and the Warriors are at stake! ”

Mike. Brin shouted loudly, but still shouted. The audience was jubilant, and everyone on the Warriors looked at each other, unable to believe what had happened in the last 5.2 seconds.

Cole sighed, then turned to look at Henson. The guy didn't participate in the players' celebrations, just smiled and applauded. Maybe he was no stranger to this kind of scene. Long before the pause ended, Henson directed everything. So when all this happened, Henson wasn't surprised at all.

At this time, Cole suddenly remembered what Henson had said.

"Until a champion falls, it's always a champion."

Now, Cole can also use this phrase to describe Henson.

"Before the champion coach retires, he is always the champion coach."
