Chapter 22: Side Quest: Turning the Tide

When the whistle blew in the first half, the score was 52-51, with the Bobcats leading by one point.

"Well, Byron, I'll just say the Bobcats could get their first win of the new season against the Hornets today." Mark Jackson exaggerated to Byron Davis.

"Mark, it's only half-time now, otherwise, let's make a bet, and if you lose, kiss the donkey's ass, I bet on the wasp to win, do you dare?" Byron Davis had a wicked smile on his face.

"This..."Jackson hesitated, this bet doesn't seem to be able to be beaten, Barkley was planted on Da Yao, who is also a yellow race, and now he may be the one who fights if he takes over the gamble. But if he didn't answer it, thousands of viewers in front of the TV watched it, and he couldn't afford to lose this person, gritted his teeth, and said to Davis with a black face: "Okay, I'll take this game, and you won't necessarily win!" He prayed in his heart for some strength from the Bobcats.

……

In the away dressing room, the Hornets players are bragging, they don't care about being one point behind, how to play is a question that the manager should consider, they just have to perform well on the court, and other issues don't need to be considered.

Yang Yi was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed to recuperate, he was a little excited from the fight just now, and his physical consumption was relatively large, and he couldn't even make up for it by drinking Gatorade. He only had a slight understanding of the rhythm control of his body, and he was not yet fully in control, so he seized the time to rest when he had the opportunity.

……

The second half of the game begins.

Hornets baseline serve. Yang Yi advanced forward with the ball, and after his teammates were settled, the fat man held the ball to face Kemba Walker. Walker was much more careful after suffering in the first half, and once the fat man hit him with his back, he beckoned his teammates to come over and block the fat man's way and passing space.

Just like this time, as soon as Yang turned his back to him, Reggie Williams immediately stepped forward to wrap up. However, the fat man's physical fitness is not covered, he easily squeezed Walker away with his shoulder, and then made a shooting action, Reggie Williams jumped up to block, but he didn't expect the fat man to be a feint, he launched his own real and false thunder, and when Williams jumped up and had nowhere to borrow, he gently leaned on Williams, made a foul successfully, and was lucky, the ball thrown out fell into the basket slowly after bouncing a few times on the basket, 2+1, and hit three points successfully.

"Oh! The One is really physical, let's take a look at the replay on the big screen. The One offense with the ball was caught by Walker and Williams, but even so, he was still an inexplicable presence in the backcourt, and Walker was easily squeezed away by him. Reggie Williams was careless, he shouldn't have jumped up and blocked so recklessly, he was too anxious, Walker was squeezed out of the way and immediately pounced back, but apparently Walker did useless work. ”

"In fact, against a power player like The One, you can let him shoot, but you can't let him break through. Because his mid-range shot is not very reliable, but when he protrudes, he is devastating, and his height and weight can easily bring devastating damage to the backcourt players, and I don't think the inside line can stop it. Byron Scott explained Yang Yi's characteristics and let the audience in front of the TV understand the situation of the fat man.

At this time, the broadcast camera suddenly focused on the Bobcats boss Jordan Joe gang leader in the audience. Joe's face was not very good-looking, his chin was supported in his hands, and he stared intently at the players on the field.

"Boss Joe doesn't seem to be very happy with the performance of the players, but not all of them are Michael Jordan."

The fat man was now in front of the free throw line, and when the referee's whistle blew, he threw the ball, but this time he was unlucky, the ball bounced out of the inside of the basket, was caught by Anthony Davis, and was casually thrown to Kemba Walker, who advanced with the ball.

Davis has a very obvious trait, he likes to come to the three-point line to block and then get a shot through the burst of his teammates, because when he gets the ball inside and plays low singles, to be honest, he can't even Robin Lopez, and he can't play low singles. But his athleticism is outstanding and his speed is faster than the average inside, so most of his scoring comes from athletic battles.

As is the case now, Davis stepped forward to cover for Walker and brought Lopez out by the way. Walker broke through Yang Yi's defense and faced Aminu in front of him, but instead of continuing to break through, he chose to burst and distribute the ball to Davis. Davis had a noticeable turn when receiving the ball, and when he received the ball, he threw Lopez away and dribbled towards the basket. Two steps later, he flew up and performed a glide split, which Eric Gordon came up to block, but it was undoubtedly a mantis arm to no avail. Davis is the next city for the Bobcats.

Switching offense and defense, Aminu received a pass from the fat man and hit a three-pointer, and Ben Gordon, a scoring guard from the Bobcats, hit a two-pointer. Young hit a three-pointer from Walker, Anthony Davis scored with a low-handed layup, and drew a foul on Ryan Anderson, who also scored a three-pointer after hitting a free throw.

The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was quite lively. The most important thing is that the shooting percentage on both sides is extremely high, and the scores of both teams have been alternating upwards.

"The crowd can cheer, it's the biggest reward for their money on tickets, the game is fierce on both sides, but I think it's definitely our Bobcats who will win in the end." The DJ shouted loudly, and the cheers on the scene were too high, and he really couldn't get his voice out without raising the volume.

ESPN's two commentators were a little nervous at this point, speaking on behalf of the Hornets and Bobcats, respectively, and betting that the loser kissed the butt of the donkey, and now that the battle is raging on the field, it is impossible to see the obvious situation.

"Both sides played their respective strengths in today's game and performed very well, but now the score is anxious, and it is not clear to see the victory or defeat of both sides until the last minute." Mark Jackson said.

"Donkey ass, donkey ass!" Byron Scott Road.

Mark Jackson has a black line.

The game continued to be deadlocked.

Twenty-two seconds to the end of the quarter, the two sides were tied at 107:107, and the Bobcats had the ball.

The momentum of the Hornets is a little dignified, and holding the Bobcats' attack can drag the game into overtime, and if they can't hold it, they may lose.

Kemba Walker held the ball from beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, he kept dribbling to kill time, and on the penultimate second, Anthony Davis stepped forward to cover, and Walker broke through to draw a block from Young, but it was only a false shot. Walker didn't break through, but threw the ball into the air, and after the cover, Davis, who had successfully cut into the air, jumped up and grabbed the ball in the air, and came with a strong dunk, 109:107, and the Hornets trailed by 2 points.

With just two seconds left in the game, the Hornets called a timeout and prepared to set up a tactical takedown. At this moment, Yang Yi suddenly heard the system prompt tone: Side mission, turn the tide, kill the lynx!

It's finally here, side quest, the fat man said secretly in his heart. As for what the manager said, he didn't listen. It wasn't until Gordon touched him with his arm that he came to his senses.

Monty Williams glared at him and coughed before he said slowly, "The final blow is handed over to The One, you guys try to cover for him." "He draws the attack route on the tactical board and explains it to the players as he draws.

On the other side, the head coach of the Bobcats is also giving advice to his disciples: "The Hornet's final executor is most likely The One, try not to let him catch the ball, and don't give him space to shoot after receiving the ball." Also pay attention to Eric Gordon. ”

Coming back from the timeout, the Hornets served a sideline ball and players from both teams got tangled, with Young being stopped by Kemba Walker and Anthony Davis. Seeing that the five-second serve time was about to end, the fat man couldn't care too much, squeezed Walker away and received the ball from Lopez. He quickly launched a real and false thunderbolt and made a shooting move. Anthony Davis jumped up to block the ball, only to have the fat man just dummy a shot, he dribbled to the right to dodge the shot space, and then threw the ball out.

You have to get in! The fat man shouted in his heart, this is a ball worth two glory points, and if he misses it, he will be deducted one glory point.

Come in! You have to get in! Not only the fat man was shouting, but the other players of the Hornets were also a little excited, looking at the basketball flying in the air.

"Huh!" The basketball hits the basket with precision, and the Nets are rolled up in a net. The time on the timer is reset to zero at the same moment.

The Hornet's players jumped up in an instant, the lore, the lore at the last moment of the game, and the Hornets had the last laugh because of the fat man's lore.

Yang Yi was a little excited after the shot, and the two glory points were in hand. The opposite of his expression was Davis, who looked a little frustrated, this game could have been won, but they still lost four in a row!

"Anthony, don't care too much, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, take your time!" The fat man comforted Anthony.

Anthony shook his head and nodded again, not knowing what he was thinking.
