Chapter Twenty-Nine
In fact, it was really not that Tang Tian didn't give Van Gundy face, but that the time-out was limited, and the last attack was very critical, so he had to arrange it in as much detail as possible.
When the pause time was approaching, Tang Tian's tactics were arranged.
"Steve, don't worry about boldly throwing, just like usual training, if you can't shoot, it's mine." At the end of the pause, Tang Tian pulled Novak alone and said.
Novak nodded vigorously, he had thought about many possibilities for himself to play, but he never imagined that it would be at such a critical moment, it was impossible not to be nervous, but Tang Tian's trust in him made him calm down a lot.
No matter what, he can't live up to that trust.
After a timeout, the Rockets sent a throw-in.
Riley was still standing on the sidelines.
The Rockets' offensive system surprised him, but fortunately, his old rival Van Gundy was still the same old-fashioned and was put on a play by him at the last moment.
Now with a two-point lead and less than six seconds to play, the Heat have half the victory in their pockets.
As for the last 6 seconds, Van Gundy's final attack must be a steady two-pointer, and he can set up a hundred defensive styles with his eyes closed.
However, at the moment when he came back from the timeout, he was stunned when he saw Novak on the opposite side.
Van Gundy ended up with a three-point shooter?
He thought about it for a while, turned his head to look at the bench of the Rockets, and looked at Tang Tian.
There was news before that the Rockets' complex offensive tactics were made by this young yellow man, which was mostly from his handiwork.
A rookie who has never played, this is definitely a point of containment, in order to make the interior as empty as possible.
When he saw that Yao Ming of the Rocket team was still in a high position, he confirmed this judgment.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and the only person who can fight with him is Phil Jackson.
In the last 6 seconds, the final attack of the game, the American Airlines arena suddenly fell silent, and the fans seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.
And the Chinese fans who are far away on the other side of the ocean are all clasping their hands at this time, and the victory or defeat is at this moment.
At this moment, hundreds of millions of eyes are staring at this small stadium.
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle sounded from the sidelines, and the game continued!
It was Alstom who the Rockets served.
Battier and Yao Ming made double screens for Maddie, and Maddy directly borrowed the block and went around outside the three-point line to catch the ball.
Riley remained calm on the sidelines.
The Heat's defense was very targeted, Posey went around the three-point line early to bet on Maddy, and the interior line ignored the Rockets' blocking and shrunk the basket directly.
As a result, Maddie can only stand up to Posey's defense at best.
Under high-intensity defense, it is a high probability time not to score, and it is Maddie's personal ability to score.
Maddie catches the ball and makes a quick first move.
But Percy predicted in advance and successfully blocked the route he broke through.
Everything was going according to Riley's plan.
The fans in the arena were already excited, waiting to celebrate the final victory.
And the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean couldn't help but sigh, this Riley really killed Van Gundy.
But at this moment, the situation on the field changed abruptly.
Maddie didn't opt for a dry pull, but slammed the ball into the bottom right corner.
Just when everyone's attention was on Maddie, Novak had already run to the bottom corner with Hayes' block.
Riley's eyes widened.
It's not that he didn't think about this possibility, because he almost used this tactic in the last round, but the biggest difference is that Capono has played and played very well, but Novak, this is a rookie who has never played!
How big a heart does this have to be to dare to give this last chance to attack to such a player!
Novak received the ball, almost an empty position, he didn't do any extra movements, just according to what Tang Tian said, exactly the same as in training, he opened his hand and threw the ball directly.
"Toot!"
Moments after the ball was shot, a red light lit up on the sidelines, and it was a whistle-blowing shot.
The air seemed to be silent for a moment.
The audience at the scene all stared at the spinning basketball, and kept silently chanting "don't enter" and "don't enter"!
Far away on the other side of the ocean, countless Chinese fans are holding their breath and concentrating, constantly shouting "enter" and "enter" in their hearts!
The two beliefs collided violently and invisibly over the arena, and the air seemed to explode in an instant.
The basketball swirled through the air in a beautiful parabola and fell straight towards the basket.
"Huh!"
A crisp sound echoed through the American Airlines arena.
Novak's three-pointer, hollow into the net!
Team Rocket, kill the opponent!
"Yay!"
The Rockets' bench boiled instantly, and the players rushed to the court excitedly.
And Novak, who threw this killer shot, has been hugged excitedly by the players on the Rockets court at this moment.
The Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean shouted like crazy in an instant.
It's so exciting!
And the most important thing is that Team Rocket is the last lore!
Steve Novak, the name they remembered!
The referee on the sidelines finally confirmed Novak's shot, there was no timeout, and the stunner was valid.
The fans at the scene couldn't help but stretch out their hands to hide their faces, and they were killed by the away team, which was too big a blow to them, and it was in such a focus battle.
Tang Tian was also in a good mood, looking at the players celebrating wildly on the field, a smile appeared on his face.
Just then, he noticed that there was a gaze on him, and when he turned his head to see that it was Pat Riley, the head coach of the Heat.
Tang Tian also smiled at him.
Riley was stunned for a moment, then turned back.
The god operator made a mistake this time, and he definitely felt that it would be an accident, but in fact, only Tang Tian knew that this was by no means a stroke of genius, but something to be expected.
Although Novak's defense is sparse, his open three-point shooting accuracy is probably the strongest in the league right now.
You know, no matter what, he's the guy who shot 300 three-pointers in training and scored 297, and he's still a bad guy!
The only worry is whether he will be able to hold on at such a critical moment, which is why he said that to Novak before going on the court to relieve him of his psychological baggage.
It doesn't seem to have affected him now, and hitting the key shot could be a different start to his career.
