Chapter 175: Overtaking

Back on the court, the Hornets possessed the ball, Batum attacked one by himself, missed, Howard grabbed the rebound, and the second attack was successful, with the last 3 minutes left, and the difference was stretched to five points.

Or Dunn controlled the ball, this time in the face of Stone, who was good at defense, he shouted a block, but was caught by the opponent Gilchrist and Stone in advance, and had no choice but to pass the ball to Mirotic, Mirotic was unguarded, and immediately shot, but unfortunately it was a little shorter, and smashed the front of the basket.

"Ho!" Kanin and Howard collided together, this time his jump was quite sufficient, but he collided with Howard in the air, and the action was directly deformed, tilted to the side, but fortunately, his hand touched the ball and made it fly again, so that Howard would not come to the top and get the rebound.

When the two of them landed, they didn't care about adjusting their bodies, and jumped again and grabbed the basketball.

Looking at the jump height of the two, it is almost the same, and the speed of approaching the ball is basically the same.

This time, the two of them were facing each other, and no matter which one got the ball first, the next person could also catch the ball, and a scrum seemed inevitable.

But just when the two of them were about to touch the ball, a thick little arm came up, scooped up the ball, passed between the two people, jumped up again the moment it landed, and dunked the ball into the basket!

The difference is back to three points again!

The person who robbed the basketball was naturally Li Ming.

After Dunn attracted most of the defense with the ball, he became relaxed, and a Batum really couldn't defend him!

"Damn it!" Crawford looked at the changes on the field and cursed secretly, but he didn't know how to change the formation in a short time, this Dunn had also come up before, and his performance was not very good, but why did he stand next to Li Ming, so much change the situation on the field!

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to think about it too much, now was not the time to think about these things, he had to make a quick decision, which one should be put between Dunn and Li Ming!

"Defend the joint defense!" Crawford watched the Hornets return to the defense and quickly signaled them to change their defensive lineup and defend 2-3.

In fact, Dunn's breakthrough is not very good, but after the blocking, it is really impossible to prevent him by relying on only one person, and he can only arrange people to assist in defense or make up defense, but there are a total of five people on the court, and the two outside lines are mobilized to defend Dunn, and Li Ming naturally has no one to watch.

But let Dunn go, in case he comes straight in and hits it, it's not easy to do!

So you can't put both!

In this case, then we can only defend the joint defense.

Anyway, Batum and Gilchrist are both long-handed monsters, and even if they defend 2-3, they can take care of the defense on both flanks.

"Moreover, Dunn doesn't have three points, just pay attention to Li Ming and Pound Dexter on the outside!" Crawford thought about it in his own mind, and the more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became.

Dunn looked at the 2-3 joint defense on the opposite side, and didn't dare to break out for a while, and glanced at Li Ming, Li Ming nuzzled, and the latter instantly understood and passed directly to Li Ming.

Li Ming almost didn't adjust, the moment he got the ball, he pulled it up and threw it, and the moment the ball was shot, Batum's body just reacted, and the ball fell into the net, and Batum just took a step.

Three-point shot, two points off the score.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€ Crawford suddenly understood what it meant to play with himself, wasn't it just now?! He also underestimated Li Ming's shooting ability, and originally thought that he could give Batum or Gilchrist a time to adjust, but now it seems that Li Ming's projection ability is completely at the level of a top shooter.

There is almost no need to adjust while holding the ball.

Fortunately, the Hornets' offense succeeded again, it was still the same old routine, Gilchrist attacked the basket, produced a good piece of iron, and then Howard picked up the offensive rebound, and scored the ball in the second offense.

The margin widened again to four points.

Dunn dribbled back to the frontcourt, and the opponent was very knowledgeable and returned to solo defense.

After two tentative steps on the dribble, Dunn suddenly found that the opponent was not going to contain him, and focused all his defensive firepower on Li Ming.

"In that case, then I'll do it myself!" Called the block, bypassed Stone, and only Howard in the restricted area was left in front of him, and a mounted archery was interfered with by the latter, smashed on the basket and fell out, however, Kanin and Marvin grabbed rebounds without a problem, a jump on the spot.

The margin was again two points behind.

Before you know it, there are only fifty seconds left!

"Press time!" Crawford gestured to Stone, who nodded slightly and began to dribble in place.

He is not in a hurry, Li Ming is not in a hurry, anyway, there are only two points missing, and when there are 50 seconds left, he can play two rounds no matter what, and he is not worried that he will have no chance to overtake.

β€œ11、10、9。。。。。” With 24 seconds of offensive time going into the final countdown, Stone finally felt the same and began to direct the run, and after a pass, Batum contributed a tie and Howard got the rebound, but was fouled by Kanin on the jump.

Two free throws!

The audience first booed Manin, and then one by one they held their breath, waiting for Howard to execute the free throw.

It can be seen that Howard is also a little nervous, anyway, although he has been playing for so many years, free throws have always been his weakness, and now it is time to make a final decision, nervousness is inevitable.

"Phew!"

The first penalty was unexpectedly lost, and the audience first let out a low sigh, but soon collectively shouted Howard's name to cheer him on.

"Phew!"

But the gas obviously exploded, and both penalties were lost.

Li Ming and Kanin high-fived, this foul is too worthwhile!

Hojberg called a timeout, with twenty-nine seconds left, and he felt it was time for him to show his skills!

"The ball was handed to Li Ming。。。。。 Give him cover for the run。。。。。 "Hands moved quickly on the tactical board, line after line intertwined.

Li Ming felt like he was shouting to stop, at this time, few people on the field had physical strength, and the possibility of running such a complicated mistake was very high, so it was better to avoid it!

"Simply put, just give me the ball!" Li Ming immediately pushed the tactical board aside and began to shout to cheer for him.

At this time, momentum is actually much more effective than those tactics!

Re-entered the court, served in the half, it was Kanin who took the ball, he didn't rush to serve, watched Li Ming continue to cover the run, and finally ran out of the empty position, and quickly passed the ball over.

Li Ming shot directly the moment he got the ball.

"Huh!"

The basketball goes through the hoop.

Another three-point shot.

The Bulls took a one-point lead with 25 seconds left in the game.
