In the previous life, the Rockets once played an exciting 22-game winning streak.

In Game 8 of that 22-game winning streak, Novak beat the Kings with a three-pointer.

In his previous life, Novak was purely a fixed-point pitcher, able to hit the final shot, luck was part, but it also showed the consistency of his shooting.

After all, when it comes to the countdown stage, the players on the field are all enthusiastic, and they basically rely on instinct to play.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers made a substitution, and Novak replaced Artest.

There was a stirring at the scene.

It was Novak's first appearance with the Cavaliers, but it came at such a pivotal moment.

Opposite Hawks coach Mike Woodson was stunned for a moment.

But he wasn't Thibodeau after all, and he didn't call a timeout again.

Coming back from the timeout, James dribbled to the frontcourt with his back to Smith and his eyes were not looking at his watch.

The Rockets are pressing the time for their final offense.

"Watch your defenders!" Woodson shouted on the sidelines, not calling a timeout does not mean that he is not afraid, Tang Tian is a well-known coach in the league.

When the time came to the bottom 10 seconds, James turned around, took the ball and rushed directly to the basket.

Rasheed Wallace has pulled up to the top to block and pick-and-roll.

At the same time, Novak gave Matthews an off-ball pick-and-roll, and Green landed in the bottom corner.

It's a similar tactic to the previous round.

The Cavaliers want 3 points?

Almost instantly, such a thought flashed through the minds of everyone on the field.

Including Woodson.

James broke deep and almost bulldozer-like to run over Horford.

Wrong!

Tang Tian won't be so simple!

The Cavaliers are going to play overtime!

"Under the basket!" Woodson scrambled to shout.

James jumped up with the ball, and the Hawks' defense shrank sharply.

At this moment, the jumping James turned around in the air and threw the ball at a 45-degree angle to the right!

Or passing!

Novak had moved to the three-point line on the right side by this time.

The Eagles are shrinking defensively, and it's too late to pull out.

The man arrives, the ball arrives.

James' pass was perfect.

Novak catches the ball, jumps, and shoots.

It's like the one he's trained countless times before.

Countless trainings have already formed a habit in his muscles.

All he had in his eyes was the basket.

The scene was inexplicably quiet.

The spinning basketball attracts everyone's attention.

Crossing the highest point.

Across the parabola.

"Huh!"

There was a crunch.

Novak's three-pointer, score!

"Yay!"

Almost instantly, the scene erupted in bursting cheers.

Entered!

Novak really threw it!

I didn't play a minute before, but I played for a few seconds and hit a three-point shot!

The Cavaliers surrounded Novak and yelled.

"It's a miracle!"

The narrator at the scene couldn't help but exhale.

The Cavaliers' bench on the sidelines was also completely boiling, and towels were flying.

This lore goal is really heartfelt!

Tang Tian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Three years ago, when he was the interim head coach of the Rockets, Novak didn't let him down.

Three years have passed, and a lot of things have changed, but it has not changed Novak's cold-blooded three-point hand.

The Eagles called a timeout, and they only had 1 second left to play.

"Coach." When James got off the court, he smiled and gave Tang Tian a thumbs up.

He really doesn't like to listen to most coaches, because those coaches' understanding of basketball is sometimes really inferior to him, but this ball just now, this kind of courage and determination, really can't be convinced.

Tang Tian nodded to James, and then picked up the tactical board.

"We're going to guard against the last round."

The Cavaliers pressed the clock to the last 1 second, and they did a good enough job.

But at 1 second, the Eagles still have a chance to kill.

After a timeout, the Cavaliers made another substitution, with Brown replacing Novak.

Standing on the court, Brown stands under the basket, and the others follow closely behind his defender.

The Hawks ran a free-throw line tactic, running out one player after another, mostly with a bogushing shot.

The Cavaliers don't care, they just follow the defenders.

Horford didn't block and went straight to the basket.

Woodson played a routine, using his runs to attract the defense, and was ready to play an open shot.

Carter had a similar stunner in '08 and it took only 0.9 seconds.

It's a stroke of genius.

But Brown didn't move under the basket at this time, raised his hands high, and directly locked the opportunity.

Bibby, who took the free throw, saw this and could only choose to give the ball to Johnson.

Johnson catches the ball, takes a step back and smashes back.

But at the moment when he leaned back, James fell from the sky like a goshawk pounced on the rabbit.

"Smack!"

With a slap, Johnson's shot was directly slapped off the field.

"Toot!"

The final whistle sounded from the sidelines.

James blocks lore!

The scene was once again in a boil.

A heart-wrenching game that makes people's blood boil.

James also roared excitedly twice after blocking, and then high-fived his teammates one by one.

It's quite cool to win over competitors in this way.

James spoke to reporters on the scene after the game.

When asked about the team's last offensive option, "Little Emperor" laughed and said: "I don't know, it was the coach's arrangement, I just did what the coach said." ”

James' answer obviously did not satisfy the reporter, and another reporter mentioned this issue in the post-game press conference.

"Coach, why did you choose Novak? He hadn't played before, so I think Matthews or Green would have been the better option, or James would have had a chance to score straight in at that point. ”

Tang Tian also guessed that the reporter would definitely ask this, and said calmly: "That's his job." ”

"Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to throw?"

"Then I don't think anybody can shoot in, and in that case, he's the best guy in the league."

The reporter was stunned for a moment, so pretending to be forced!

But I don't know how to refute it, after all, Tang Tian really arranged it like this, and Novak did throw the ball in.

"Yes, I think the coach is right, when I usually practice, I haven't seen Novak shoot a three-pointer, well, not a single one." James continued, thinking back as he spoke.

After listening to this, the reporter below suddenly burst into a commotion.

Because of Tang Tian's relationship, Novak's first 300 scored 297, and in an interview after the game, he said that today's bad hand has not happened.

But James's words are even more terrifying than that.

Novak has been in the team for more than a month?

Even if James doesn't keep an eye on Novak training, but he doesn't see a three-point shot, what a terrifying shooting percentage!

Now, they realized that Tang Tian's words just now were not pretending.

Matthews or Green's three-pointers at crunch times are not as stable as Wallace's veterans.

And Wallace's three points are not as accurate as a pervert like Novak!

Invisible pretending!
