Chapter 543: Penalty Tactics (2/5)

On the counter-attack, Wade dunked.

The Rockets bench was boiling, Qiao Hai also waved his fist, and then, he looked at the scoreboard.

In the final 32.4 seconds, the Mavericks only had one last timeout, and in this game, the Rockets already had at least a 70% win rate.

Now, it's up to Don Nelson to call this timeout.

The Mavericks were ready to serve in the backcourt, but Don Nelson didn't mean to call a timeout, and Qiao Hai understood that the Mavericks were going to take the opportunity to play a wave of rapid offense.

If they can score, stay more than 24 seconds of playtime, and then defend themselves against the Rockets, the Mavericks will then have a chance to kill the game.

Qiao Hai thought very clearly, but he didn't have much opportunity to set up defense, so he could only stand on the sidelines and be ready at all times!

The Mavericks' quick offense, this time, without Don Nelson's setup, they could only play alone.

Steve Nash catches the ball and rushes to the front court quickly.

Antoine Jamison gave a single block, and Nash stepped in to meet Ron Artest's reinforcement, and then he made a straight stop-and-go jumper.

This ball, Atai's defense was very tight, Nash's shot was a little reluctant, the basketball flew over the arena, and after falling violently, it hit the iron with a bang!

With a beep, the referee blew the whistle and signaled for a foul on the thug.

Qiao Hai on the sidelines immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, he felt that this was not a foul, and the party Atai also protested, but the referee completely ignored it and directly let Nash go to the free throw line.

Qiao Hai waved his hand very dissatisfied, but then, he restrained himself and walked back directly.

In these two free throws, even if Nash made both free throws, the Rockets still led by 2 points, and the Rockets still had the advantage, so there was no need for Qiao Hai to be so impatient.

At the free throw line, Nash made the first free throw, smacked, and hit it steadily, and the difference was narrowed to 3 points.

The second penalty, still a smack, hit again!

The difference has been narrowed to 2 points!

The ball was back in the hands of the Rockets, and they prepared to serve in the backcourt, but at that point, Qiao Hai called a timeout......

After a pause, Qiao Hai pondered the score and time for a while, 25.3 seconds of time, and a 2-point difference, then, after the pause, the Mavericks must not have fouled.

The Rockets will have to play a wave, and if they score, the difference will reach more than 4 points, and the Rockets still have the advantage, and the winning rate continues to rise, rising to 80%.

If it doesn't go in, then the Mavericks will be a time killer, and for the Rockets, the win rate will plummet to 50%, and for the Rockets, the victory is in between.

Qiao Hai touched his chin, and then began to arrange.

"Let's play like this, serve on the sideline, Yao Ming goes around to the top of the arc to get ready to catch the ball, Gary Payton goes to the bottom corner, the other players run, at least one side is empty, and whichever side is empty, we will pass to which side."

The serve is very important, but the difficulty is not very large, it can't be passed to the top of the arc, and the bottom corner is definitely empty, you can pass to the bottom corner, as long as you can pass the ball out, the rocket can organize an attack.

"Send the ball out, and then we double block at the top of the arc and give the ball to Dwayne." Then, Qiao Hai looked at Wade. "Dwayne, your job is to play to your speed advantage, get in, and score under the basket!"

Wade nodded quickly, very serious.

Double blocking, what Qiao Hai wants is to create an absolute one-on-one opportunity for Wade, with the help of Wade's speed advantage, rush into the penalty area, score from close range, and ensure the hit rate!

The timeout ended quickly, the Rockets served on the sideline, Yao Ming went around from the middle distance, and then received a pass from Wade on the sideline.

Then, he turned directly to the side, plus Chris Anderson on the other side.

Double block dismantling at the top of the arc! Wade sped up, moved sideways, and after hand-to-hand cooperation, he received the basketball in Yao Ming's hand.

And then another acceleration, straight inside!

The Mavericks' home court was in another exclamation, because Wade rushed straight in! No one can stop him!

It looks like Wade is going to score directly!

But at this time, Antoine Jamison, who switched to Wade, saw that he was about to lose Wade, so he directly attacked and pulled Wade.

The referee's reaction was also very fast, beeping twice, and the game was directly stopped.

"Antoine Jamison fouled, it was on Dwayne Wade who was holding the ball, and now, Wade is going to the free throw line."

Qiao Hai was a little dissatisfied, but there was no way, this time, the referee was right, the only problem was that Wade, who had just entered the league, did not make good free throws, and Qiao Hai was afraid to see a Wade who missed two free throws.

As a result, Wade walked to the free throw line and hit the iron on the first free throw.

Qiao Hai is very helpless, the Rockets still have a 2-point lead, if Wade loses both free throws, then the Mavericks have a chance to kill the game directly.

Wade's second free throw is crucial, and if it can be scored, then the Mavericks can only tie the game at most.

In the second penalty, Wade pondered, held the ball with both hands, raised it above his head, swung it, and then threw it......

Bang, the ball is in!

"Second penalty hit! With a 3-point difference and 15.7 seconds left, the Mavericks still have a chance to drag the game into overtime! It's up to them to grasp it. ”

Don Nelson called out the Mavericks' final timeout of the game, apparently setting up a tiebreaker.

Qiao Hai thought of a slightly strange tactic that had not been used in this life, suitable for leading by 3 points at the last moment, and the ball belonged to the opponent.

So, he quickly gathered the players in front of him and began to set up......

“……”

The timeout ended quickly and the Mavericks served on the sideline.

The Rockets did their best to interfere with the Mavericks' sideline serve, but the Mavericks still sent the ball out through cover and running.

This time, Michael Finley picked up the ball at the top of the arc and controlled the time.

Wade faced him, his palms were sweaty.

In the last 7 seconds, Michael Finley began to move, Wade quickly glanced at the sidelines, Qiao Hai waved his hand twice, he knew that it was time!

Then, all the fans, commentators, media reporters, referees, commentators, players and coaches in the stadium saw a surprising scene!

Dwayne Wade suddenly rushed to Michael Finley, who was holding the ball, and gave a foul directly!

The referee was stunned for a moment, and blew the whistle with a beep.

Then, the audience was in an uproar!

"What is Rocket doing?"

Qiao Hai glanced at the time at this time, and in the end there were 5.8 seconds left, and it was done!

When Michael Finley stepped to the free throw line and hit both free throws, the Rockets led by one point and still had the ball, Kenny Smith in the commentary box instantly understood.

"Foul tactics, send the opponent to the free throw line, even if the opponent hits both free throws, the Rockets themselves will still have a 1-point lead, then, as long as the Rockets can also hit their own free throws, the difference will be back to 3 points, there are only a few seconds left, but the two teams are back to the same starting point!"

The Rockets serve in the backcourt and give it to Gary Payton.

Payton hit both free throws again.

Then, the Mavericks served in the backcourt, and the Rockets made another foul on the ball carrier, sending Steve Nash to the free throw line again.

After making both free throws, the Rockets continued to lead by one point.

Then, they served again in the backcourt, and before the Mavericks could foul, there was a buzz, the timer beeped, and the game was over......
