Chapter 90: Lore or Timeout
"Oh my God, this bounce, this reach, this power......"
The on-site commentary was directly shocked by James's visible talent.
On the Cavaliers' bench, Mime and Capono stood up waving towels and cheering for James.
"Of course, the game isn't over yet, and it's useless to just grab rebounds. The Cavaliers must make that shot before they can beat the Nuggets for their first win of the season. ”
"Now, the pressure is on Ye Feng, can he score this goal?"
Ye Feng took the basketball and was about to make a move, but found a figure in front of him.
Andre Miller, the Nuggets' No. 1 veteran on the court, the brains of the team.
When everyone rushed to grab the rebound, he had already taken precautions, and he had long been on guard against the possibility of the Cavaliers grabbing the rebound.
"That's experience, that's the ball quotient! Young players, study hard, it's something that no amount of talent can buy. ”
Because of this, the on-site commentary praised Miller to the sky.
Of course, he also deserves this praise, and he may well be the man who helped the Nuggets win the final victory.
Because, there is no time.
Ye Feng looked at the timer, there were 2.7 seconds left.
With such a little time, it is too late to reorganize and pass the ball.
In this case, Ye Feng had only one choice, shook it slightly, and pulled it up to be a jump shot.
But Miller had already prepared, and his whole body was pressed on Ye Feng's body, which made Ye Feng's body deformed, and he felt very bad when he shot.
"It turns out that Ye Feng's shooting is very accurate. But in the case of close defense, his shooting percentage is horribly low! ”
Of course, Ye Feng also knew this, but he didn't have a choice.
"Oh no, this goal can't be scored."
Before making a move, Ye Feng had this feeling.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a yellow figure get up from the floor and rush to the basket.
Ye Feng's heart moved, and the ball that was originally aimed at the basket was deliberately raised a little.
"The arc of this ball is a bit high, it can't go in!"
The on-site commentary gives an accurate judgment.
Bang!
Sure enough, the basketball hit the rebound and bounced off.
But at this moment, it was the yellow No. 23 figure who rose into the air again and grabbed the rebound in the air.
"It's not a shot, it's a relay."
Syllable!
Before the sound of the live commentary was finished, James pressed the ball into the basket in the air.
Honk~
Almost at the same time, the final whistle blew.
The score became 95:96 and the Cavaliers won!
The Pepsi Center arena was silent.
The fans were stunned, unable to make any sound, clutching their heads in pain and watching the final score in disbelief.
They led the vast majority of the time and were all but in the final moments with victory in their hands.
However, they were killed.
Anthony played well, limiting James to less than 30 percent shooting.
Camby played well, he was aggressive and grabbed all the rebounds that he deserved.
Nene played well, he completely blew Boozer.
Boykins played well, and he scored a team-high Nuggets.
Miller played well, he expected Ye Feng's move, and prevented Ye Feng.
......
But it all became meaningless.
Because, James killed this game.
He was like a god and dominated the court in the last 17 seconds.
First, in an impossible situation, James snatched a precious offensive rebound from the big four interior heads.
Then, before falling, he passed the ball to Ye Feng.
In the end, he caught Ye Feng's board pass, and directly dunked in the air, killing the game.
On the technical statistics board, James's final stats are fixed at 10 points, 11 boards, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
The youngest Mr. triple-double, the fastest rookie to get a triple-double, led the team to defeat the Western powerhouse, defeated the fateful enemy Anthony, ended the three-game losing streak, and won the first win of the season......
It was nothing short of a fantastic night for James.
Paul, who was on the bench, couldn't help but clench his fists, and the team's losing streak during this period of time put too much pressure on him.
All the Cavaliers hugged each other in celebration......
But without anyone noticing, the head coach of the Nuggets approached the referee and the technical statistics desk.
After 10 seconds.
After several replays of the footage, the referee blew the whistle again.
Honk~
"Before James pressed the basketball into the basket, the final whistle blew, so the goal was invalid!"
The referee kept waving his arms crossed, signaling that the lore was invalid.
For a moment, the Pepsi Center arena fell silent again.
"Roar! Win! ”
In the next second, the entire arena turned into a sea of cheers.
Nuggets players, who were still frustrated before, hugged and celebrated each other.
And the Cavaliers players who celebrated before were stunned, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
Head coach Paul sat on the bench with a stumbling slump, and for a moment it seemed to be more than ten years old.
The score was rewritten, it was still 95-94, and the Nuggets were the winners tonight.
James's final stats are 8 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, although it is only 2 points away from a triple-double, but a quasi-triple-double is a quasi-triple-double, not a real triple-double.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, ushered in a four-game losing streak in the opening game.
Ye Feng was speechless for a long time, looking at the final score on the technical statistics board, and shook his head bitterly.
This is competitive sports, it's just a ball difference, but the outcome is completely reversed.
And people, it is the victors who will be remembered.
As for the losers, no matter how hard they try, it doesn't matter.
In the middle of the ring, he took the big towel handed over by Gerani and wrapped it around his head, Ye Feng walked to the players' tunnel without saying a word.
"Hopefully, the Cavaliers won't be demoralized because of this change, and they can adjust their form and get their first win of the season as soon as possible. I also hope that Ye Feng will not be affected, continue to play well before, and fight better and better. ”
CCTV5, Director Zhang Weiping said helplessly.
"We can't ask James any more of anything, he's done enough tonight!"
"Of course, I just thought, if Ye Feng could have scored that goal by himself, instead of giving his hope to James, would the ending be different?"
And the passage of the on-site commentary caused Ye Feng a lot of trouble.
In any case, the Cavaliers lost.
On that night, Ilgoskas recorded a game-high 23 points and 8 rebounds, Davis had 17 points and 6 rebounds, Boozer had 10 points and 9 rebounds, and James had 8 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists......
Ye Feng shot 6-of-10 and 6-of-9 three-pointers, scoring a team-high 18 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.
On the Nuggets side, it is more flowering.
Boykins had 18 points and 2 assists, Miller had 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, Leonard had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Anthony had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Nene had 13 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, Camby had 6 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Barry had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals......
Five players scored in double figures, and the Nuggets beat the Cavaliers with an offensive basketball.
