Chapter 91: The Future Is Yours

The rules of the NBA, before 2017, were three steps to the layup, and the fourth step was to walk.

In this ball just now, James obviously got the shooting space after stepping on the fourth step, a standard walk.

"Stand back! Back off! The referee saw the excited Tang Tian at this time, and stretched out his hand to signal him to step back.

"He stepped on the fourth step! Step 4! Tang Tian was still reminding.

The referee took the whistle to his mouth, and Cole came up at this time and pulled Tang Tian back.

"Playback! Watch the replay! Tang Tian saw that the referee ignored what he said, and immediately shouted.

"Walk, walk." At this time, the Rockets players on the field were also constantly signaling.

The referee glanced at the referee, then called the game suspended, and the two went to the technical table to watch the replay together.

The players of both teams also retreated to their respective halves and waited for the final decision.

The referee watched the video repeatedly, and the replay was quickly given on the large LED screen on the scene.

The replay showed that James did make a move after stepping on the fourth step of the ball just now.

Tang Tian waved his fist.

The Rockets cheered.

But immediately, the referee's decision refreshed Tang Tian's cognition.

The penalty determined that Yao Ming had already committed a foul before James made a shot, and the step that James stepped on after that was a continuous action after being fouled.

In other words, Yao Ming's beater foul was changed to a blocking foul, and the goal was still valid!

The scene instantly resounded with explosive cheers and whistles.

Tang Tian couldn't help but spread his hands and laugh at this time.

In his previous life, he was blackmailed, and he even met the home whistle after crossing it.

The Rockets also had to protest against the referee.

"Come back!" Tang Tian calmed down at this time and directly called the team members back.

The referee finally awarded the penalty, and it is impossible to change it.

Fortunately, there is still time to attack, and even if James scores this goal, the Rockets still have a chance to kill.

James added a free throw to give the Cavaliers a one-point lead.

The Rockets called a timeout.

"T-mac, you're going to play the last ball." Tang Tian directly picked up the tactical board.

Maddie has a good hand at this time, and this killer ball is the most suitable for him to handle.

After arranging the tactics, the players were ready to play, and Tang Tian pulled Yao Ming again.

"If Maddie doesn't score, the rebound must be taken." This is an admonition and an expectation.

Yao Ming nodded heavily.

"Toot!"

The timeout came back and the game continued.

The Rockets played a throw-in tactic at this point, and everyone stood in a ball at the free throw line and ran out in turn.

The tactics were successful, and Blake managed to get the ball to Maddie.

Maddie took the ball and rushed to the basket directly against James who was switching defenses.

James was in the sky and Maddie made a pull-out two meters from the basket.

"Bang!"

James put a lot of pressure on the ball, and Maddie's shot went wide of the basket.

The scene instantly erupted in cheers.

But at this moment, Yao Ming came out of the bag between Ilgoskas and Gooden and reached out to grab the offensive rebound.

After Gu Deng saw it, he didn't say a word and directly pushed Yao Ming.

Yao Ming loses his center of gravity, but throws the ball towards the basket before it falls.

"Bang!"

Yao Ming's ass hit the ground heavily.

"Huh!"

The basketball followed into the net.

Goal, scored!

"Toot!"

Just then, the referee's whistle blew and signaled for Gooden's push foul.

It's a 2+1!

“tomato!”

Yao Ming waved his hand and shouted excitedly.

Maddie and Battier went over to pull him up.

There was boos from the audience.

The sentence almost condemned the Cavaliers to death.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand to applaud the referee at this time.

There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that referees generally do not change the decision after the decision, and the ball just now falls into this category, but after realizing the error of the decision, they will get it back in the next round.

When the game reaches the final count, the referee generally does not blow the whistle, but this whistle belongs to the scope of finding.

This is also the difference between the NBA and the minor leagues, although it is a home court, but the referee still belongs to the league after all.

Yao Ming walked to the free throw line and threw the ball away to the boos from the sky.

At 106-103, the Rockets took a three-point lead.

The Cavaliers called a timeout.

There are less than 2 seconds left in the race.

"3 points, don't jump, don't fight." Tang Tian's pausal arrangement idea was very clear, and at this time, the Cavaliers had no choice but to shoot 3.

Coming back from a timeout, Hughes served a sideline ball, and after successive off-ball blocks, James came out of the crowd.

Hughes passes, and James reaches for it.

But at this moment, a figure rushed out from the three-point line.

Yao Ming, after knowing that the Cavaliers would not score two points, stood at the three-point line early, and at this time threw himself forward and stretched his arms with all his might.

The basketball was poked by his fingertips and rolled straight towards the Cavaliers' backcourt.

James grabbed the air with one hand.

The basketball rolled along the floor, and the rest of the Cavaliers struggled to pick it up.

"Toot ~"

But just then, a long whistle sounded from the sidelines.

It's game time!

"Yay!"

The moment the whistle blew, the players of the Rocket team instantly shouted excitedly, and the players off the court rushed to the court as soon as possible.

Pull up Yao Ming and hi!

"Bang! Bang! ”

Streamers are ejected from the sidelines.

Team Rocket wins!

4-0, after 12 years, the Rockets swept the Cavaliers, regained the championship trophy, and won the third championship in team history!

Although this result had already been guessed by many before the series began, everyone couldn't hide their excitement when it all happened.

James crossed his hands on his hips and looked at the streamers in the sky, his eyes were very complicated.

There is loss, helplessness, envy, and regret.

After a brief celebration, the Rockets then held back their excitement and gave a final handshake to the Cavaliers.

Despite the ups and downs, the winners and losers have been decided, and the course of the game is completely unimportant.

The team members hugged each other and said some words of encouragement and blessings.

Tang Tian, as the head coach, also shook hands with Brown at this time.

He had just finished shaking hands when he noticed James walking towards him.

"Coach, congratulations."

"Thank you."

A very usual greeting, two people shaking hands, and then a shoulder-to-shoulder hug.

"Coach, Cleveland is a great environment." When his head was next to his head, Tang Tian heard James say something.

It's not loud, but it's audible.

What is Cleveland's environment like? This is obviously not a homely sentence, and Tang Tian can also hear the sound of this.

He signed a one-year contract with the Rockets, and James was recruiting him to move to the Cavaliers for the next season.

Tang Tian wasn't too interested in the Cavaliers' mess, but James' words reminded him of Duncan's famous quote in his memory.

"Come on, the future is yours." Tang Tian followed.
