Chapter 128: I don't want to lose
With less than six minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the Suns trailed by two points at home at 95-97
In the audience, the Suns fans were extremely excited, the Warriors gave the Suns a disadvantage at the beginning, and finally overtook the Warriors in the second quarter under the leadership of Li Mojie, but the Warriors overtook the Suns in the third quarter.
"This game must be very cool for neutral fans to watch, the game is up and down, and you don't know who can win until the last minute, but for Suns fans, it's very tangled." Eddie Johnson smiled helplessly.
"Yes, the scores of the two sides have been scorching together since the second half of the third quarter, the Warriors have the Splash Brothers, and the Suns have our new Magician, it's up to them to see who can grit their teeth and hold on to the end!" Albert said with a deep groan.
Mark Jackson frowned, looked at Middleton, Markieff Morris, Li Mojie and others on the field, and said secretly: "Let's call a timeout, this group of young people on the opposite side should not be underestimated!" β
Waiting for the players to come down, Mark Jackson first stabilized everyone's mood, then spread out the tactical board and began to arrange: "There are more than 5 minutes left, Li Mojie must not let go, Harrison, this rookie will be handed over to you, and Speights You are also on it, you look at the situation, if necessary, don't hesitate, wrap him, Bogut You can let go of Gobert and go to make up for the defense, do you know?" β
Then Mark Jackson arranged: "Klay, Stephen, you continue to pull out of the position, the left and right corners of the run, Bogut is organized in the high position, Harrison, you pay attention to the empty cut basket, understand?" β
"Hmm." Everyone on the Warriors shouted with heavy nods.
On the Warriors' side, Hornacek was also arranging: "Wait a minute, it's still a few of you, Major, Eric, Rudy, Chris, Channing." He spread out the tactical board, "Wait a minute, give the ball to Li Mojie, the others have to move, if the opponent covers Li Mojie, you have to stand up." Fight firmly, understand? β
"Understood."
"Yes."
The people answered.
Hornacek looked at Li Mojie again, thought for a while, smiled bitterly, and finally didn't make any arrangements, just said: "Mojie, play at your own pace, don't put too much pressure on yourself." β
"Hmm." Li Mojie bit his lip and nodded.
In the audience, the fans were talking and they were all nervous.
"Toot ......"
The whistle blows, and the timeout ends.
The last 5 minutes, the moment of life and death!
The Warriors attacked, Curry advanced with the ball, passed the ball to Speights when he got to the frontcourt, and he started to run, his lethality lies in the offense, in the scoring, not in the organization.
At the same time, Thompson was also running, moving left and right with Curry on both sides, faintly erecting two batteries.
The threat of these two people was too great, and the Suns had to expand their defense, Bledsoe and Middleton defended outside the three-point line, and adopted a man-to-man defense against Curry and Thompson, and did not relax for a moment.
The Warriors played patiently, with quick passes and runs until 19 seconds passed after 24 seconds, and they didn't make a shot, but after this tearing, the Suns' defense has become less tight.
At this time, Thompson circled from the baseline to the left three-point line, and the ball was in his hands.
"Oops."
"Be careful!"
The crowd shouted loudly from the sidelines.
On the Suns' side, everyone was also numb, and Thompson's game made such a deep impression on them that Middleton didn't have time to think about it and immediately pounced on Thompson.
But at this time, Thompson picked up the basketball and pretended to shoot, "Oops! Middleton, who is now in second grade, was completely fooled by him, and the moment he jumped he thought he was stupid!
"Fake cast!" Thompson took the basketball off his head in Middleton's eyes of regret, took a step into the ground, and then flicked his wrist.
"It's over!"
People's hearts sank.
"Huh!"
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.
was also shot by a three-pointer during this period, and the Suns were 5 points behind!
The Suns immediately opened a counterattack, this time, the Suns played very resolutely, with a clear purpose, the ball was given to Li Mojie after it arrived in the front court, Li Mojie gave the ball to Fry, Frye passed to Bledsoe, Bledsoe made a gesture to play, attracted the defense and then distributed the ball outside, Middleton ambushed outside the bottom corner three-point line, and received the ball is a three-pointer.
duangοΌ
The ball was thrown with Thompson's interference.
"Middleton's three! It's a pity, I wanted to return one, but I lost it! β
Bogut picked up the rebound and passed it to Curry, but Li Mojie suddenly came out from the side.
"Beautiful, Li Mojie's steal at a critical moment!"
The Warriors have not yet launched the fast counterattack that they are good at, and the players immediately returned, especially Barnes, who has been keeping an eye on Li Mojie, and is firmly in position.
But Li Mojie's ball was unreasonable, and I saw Li Mojie directly carrying Barnes and rushing inside, "This guy!" Barnes' eyes widened and he looked at Li Mojie, who was his layup.
"Wow, this ball Li Mojie played very tough, he didn't care who was defending in front of him or rushing in, Barnes couldn't defend him at all, this is the talent of our champion show, he can still rely on his talent to score steadily at the last moment!" Albert shouted excitedly.
Mark Jackson on the sidelines was also envious, this kind of talent is really lacking in the Warriors, when the Splash Brothers are on track, they are the strongest team in the league, and they are the best team in the league, but there are always times when this group of shooters is weak, and at this time the Warriors have few scoring means. Mark Jackson thought to himself: If Li Mojie is in the Warriors, then the Warriors will be able to win the championship in a season or two!
In the last 3 minutes, the game became tense and delicate, neither side seemed to have shooting bags, or both sides defended too well, and both teams only hit one goal in 3 minutes, 99-102
In the last offense, Li Mojie missed a three-point shot from the outside.
"Foul." After Bogut grabbed the rebound, Gobert was immediately fouled.
But Bogut, who shot only 55% of his career free throw shooting, actually hit two free throws for the first time.
In the last 20 seconds, Li Mojie gambled on three points and missed again, and the Suns had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat at home. The Warriors won the game by five points, ending the Suns' winning streak.
In this game, Li Mojie had 23 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 turnovers.
Judging from the data, Li Mojie's performance is quite stable, not too bad, especially as a rookie, his performance is impeccable. It's a pity that in the end, the Suns are still powerless.
"Hey......" Looking at the bright red numbers on the scoreboard, Li Mojie sighed, he was still very unwilling in his heart, if I didn't float up when I was leading the Warriors, but reminded my teammates that the Warriors were really difficult to deal with, would the outcome of the game change?
At this moment, Li Mojie suddenly understood, in the NBA, a place full of miracles, he really can't relax for a moment, as long as he stands on the court, he must fight wholeheartedly, grab it, and can't relax in the slightest, the game of leading and being overturned is really happening every day, but he wants to win all the games - he doesn't want to lose to anyone, even the championship team!
