Chapter 147: Lore

Forty-eight minutes of regular time may seem short, but it's actually quite long, especially when it comes to the final moments, and it's not surprising to call two or three timeouts a round, as long as you can get the ball into that damn basket. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the final quarter, the Trail Blazers and Rockets battled to a tie of 82 heading into the final 12 minutes. The managers of both sides invariably changed the bench line-up, preparing to decide the winner again in the final five minutes. It was a strange game for both sides, with only four benches and five starters, and there was always one starter on the court who was going to lead the benches to conquer the city, Blake on the Trail Blazers' side and Battier on the Rockets. However, judging from the situation on the field, Blake did not play his role at all, but was bullied enough by Lowry, there is no way, after all, people have speed and strength, and it is not incomprehensible that Blake can't bear it.

Although Outlaw still acts as the scoring arrow of the bench lineup, shooting inside and outside desperately to cut points, there is one person in the Rockets who is fearless against him, no matter how small the space is. It was Weaver, affectionately known to Chinese fans as "The Bat King," a 2005 second-round pick. In terms of physical fitness, Weaver is also average, but unfortunately the three-point shooting accuracy is not very good, only hitting 1 of 4 shots, and can only continue to impact the interior with Lowry, hoping to score closer to the basket. Poor Trail Blazers' backup center Pulzbilla is a big white man who can only grab rebounds, averaging only 1.2 blocks per game this season, and his ability to protect the rim is already mediocre, and now he is being killed by these two guys and has two individual fouls under the basket.

McMillan shook his head and made up his mind to bring in a reliable backup center in the offseason, not to mention how many points he could score, at least to be able to protect the basket, right? The worst thing is to have a scoring maniac, just blow up with the opponent, which is like now that you can't stop the opponent from scoring, you can't score points, and you have to take a foul...... McMillan gritted his teeth and directly replaced Oden, in fact, it is a very bad thing to replace the center forward in advance, as the position with the greatest physical exertion in the whole field, the center has always been able to rest for as long as he wants, so as to ensure that he has enough physical strength at the moment of the decisive battle. But there is no need to mention a pervert like O'Neal who averaged more than 40 minutes per game in his peak time, that is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Fortunately, the Rockets are now a pure small lineup, and Oden doesn't need to be pulled to the high post to defend, he just needs to sit well under the basket and slap all the balls that want to fly into his own basket. Oden's play greatly reduced the pressure on the Trail Blazers, Otlo finally got a reliable coverer, and others like Batum, Fernandez and Frye also shot more energetically. Anyway, with Oden grabbing rebounds under the basket, there is no taller player than him among the Rockets on the floor.

Now it was Adelman's turn to worry, he looked at Yao Ming, who was still panting slightly, drinking a sips or two of sports drinks from time to time, and weighed it for a while. It wasn't until the Trail Blazers looked like they were going to pull the score apart that he ruthlessly changed all the starting lineups, directly ignoring the fact that the players, especially Yao Ming, hadn't rested enough. This guy was known for his ruthless manipulation of the main force when he first became a head coach, but now he is still training the Green Shirts in Boston, and no one could have imagined that he would become a "tyrant" a few years later.

The Rockets' starting lineup suppressed the Trail Blazers as soon as they came on the court, and Battier and Artest still had some difficulty dealing with Roy and Ye Feng, and they were simply holding on to Oterlo and Fernandez. After Outlaw was killed by Artest for two consecutive rounds, McMillan also sent the team's starting lineup with a big wave of his hand. The game went back to a tug-of-war that wasn't interesting at all, and it was an even more boring defensive battle, with all ten men figuring out how to keep their opponents from scoring, and only when that was guaranteed did they seriously think about how they could score.

The score between the two sides rises very slowly, and there are shrill whistles on the pitch from time to time, and the referee can always see through some small movements, of course, this is only a small part, and there are many more small movements hidden in their invisible corners, waiting to greet the opponent. Strictly speaking, the Trail Blazers are underdogs, and even if McMillan brings in Payton to explain the must-have tricks of these veteran ruffians, it will be difficult for them to fully master it in a short period of time. Fortunately, Roy and Ye Feng have learned how to pass or throw the ball under the opponent's heavy defense, and their shooting rate is quite impressive, although the number of shots is not very many.

100 flat! The two sides also played such an embarrassing tie in the last 30 seconds, and everyone had an offensive opportunity, but the not-so-good news for the Trail Blazers is that the ball is now in the hands of the Rockets. This kind of crucial moment is naturally time-pressing, and Brooks dribbles the ball at the top of the arc unhurriedly, occasionally glancing up at the numbers on the timer. When there were 10 seconds left in this round, he moved, and his thin body seemed to turn into a lightning bolt at this moment, and a change of direction flashed past the waiting Blake and killed inside. Everyone else was seen dead, and he could only come by himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as the ball was shot, a black palm appeared ghostly above, and slapped the ball down.

Before he could react, Roy quickly held the ball in his arms, and then signaled the referee to timeout, this is to give McMillan time to set up tactics, this round is still enough, 10 seconds can do a lot. McMillan wanted to be stable at this time, he asked the team not to make mistakes, try to pursue two points with certainty, and if it didn't work, he would play overtime. Unexpectedly, he handed over the possession of this round to Ye Feng and ordered him to come out to catch the ball no matter what, and Roy did not object.

After restarting, the Trail Blazers played an explosive tee, in which the remaining four men stood in a pile and then suddenly spread out in all directions. This tactic attracted the Rockets' defense well, and Ye Feng received the ball smoothly. But the inside line is not so easy to enter, Artest is eyeing in front of him, and everyone else is in place. Time passes by second and cannot be delayed any longer! Ye Feng's continuous shaking and rhythm changes did not deceive Artest, he was still firmly in front of him, forget it, so be it, seeing that time was about to come to an end, Ye Feng made the last change of direction in front of his body, and directly pulled out and threw the ball.

What does it mean to unintentionally insert willows into the willows? For example, the ball that flies into the basket right now is.
