Chapter 222: Victory

One minute is enough to change the outcome of the game, so the Pistons are not sure that they will win, and they must adhere to the posture of not relaxing, not giving up without winning.

And the Rockets, for their part, have already determined their attitude, so they are not ready to give up.

And Da Yao promised: No matter what happens, please don't be timid, shoot when you have the opportunity, don't worry about whether you can score or not, as long as I'm still guarding on the inside, I will let you catch the rebound, and then I will pass it to you until you shoot.

Hearing Da Yao's assurance, the Rocket team also completely liberated the burden, they felt that they had to fight hard, anyway, the situation has eroded so far, and it will not be worse, so they have no psychological burden.

So, Steve Francis jumped directly, his purpose was not a matter of whether he could score or not, his purpose was to shoot the basketball on top of the rebound, and he believed that Da Yao would definitely grab the rebound.

Sure enough, Da Yao did not live up to the expectations of the Rockets and the fans, and dunked directly after receiving the ball, although it was not passed to the outside players, but the Rockets players did not blame Da Yao, after all, the basketball that went into the basket was a good ball.

Then it was the Pistons' turn to attack, Osborne was sandwiched by two people this time, Osborne had no way to shoot, so the offensive task fell to Richard Hamilton, Richard Hamilton ran quickly, and then received Osborne's pass, hit a direct jump shot, and still led the Rockets by seven points.

At this time, the Rockets players were a little anxious, but fortunately, Boss Fu and the little giant Da Yao did not lose their minds, and the two of them began to cooperate with each other inside and outside, and soon formed an offensive joint force, Steve Francis broke through the ball to Da Yao, and Da Yao scored the ball with an effortless Yao-style hook.

Then Steve Francis directly chased a three-pointer, the ball hit the iron again, Da Yao pressed Ben Wallace to grab the rebound and passed the ball to the scoring guard Jim Jackson, Jim Jackson received this pass, shook Richard Hamilton, adjusted a little and then shot a three-pointer, the time is still 50 seconds, still four points behind, there is still a theoretical possibility of victory.

So the Rockets began to chop Ben Wallace, which was executed by Steve Francis, who had the best speed and agility, who gave the role of point guard to Jim Jackson, and then as soon as Ben Wallace served and stepped into the field, Steve Francis executed a tactical foul directly on Ben Wallace.

The referee signaled Ben Wallace to come over for a free throw, it is said that Ben Wallace's usual free throws are also very good, but due to the serious decline in physical strength at this time, Ben Wallace's first free throw really didn't hit, and the second shot was also very bad, popping out of the frame, and then the rebound was grabbed by Da Yao, he passed the ball to Steve Francis, who took the ball and threw it without wasting time to rush inside, just after half a circle he threw a non-standard three-point shot, but the goal went in.

Francis's ball went through the net cleanly, and the Rockets were still just one point behind the Pistons, and the Rockets' foul play now seemed to be working, so Francis didn't hesitate to cut Ben Wallace again and send Wallace to the free throw line again.

And Ben Wallace also lived up to the Rockets' expectations, and missed two free throws, but this time the rebounds were out of bounds, and the Rockets had the ball, and Da Yao didn't have to think about anything now, he just needed to serve and grab the rebounds.

In fact, the Pistons also wanted to implement a slashing tactic, but they didn't find a player with obvious poor free throw skills for the Rockets, so this proposal was very controversial, and Osborne also opposed such a delaying tactic, he needed to outright the opponent and take the game away.

Larry Brown approved Osborne's proposal, and he didn't want to waste more time, given that they still had three consecutive away games to go.

With 39 seconds left in the game, the Pistons and Rockets each have one chance to attack.

Da Yao sent the basketball to Steve Francis's hands, and then he hurriedly ran to the Pistons to guard the inside, Steve Francis didn't dare to worry, the situation is still more favorable to them, if he is in a hurry and makes a mistake, then the responsibility for the failure of the Rockets will be borne by him.

Francis carefully guarded the ball, when the Rockets still had 8 seconds left in the offensive time, Francis raised a finger to signal that he wanted to carry out an air-receiving tactic, which is the most suitable tactic for the Rockets at present, and Ben Wallace's physical strength is not much, so according to the height, Da Yao still has a considerable advantage.

The Rockets players understood, and then began to run wildly and blocked most of the Pistons players at the right opportunity, especially Ben Wallace and Tayxia Ang Prince, who were the biggest offensive threat to Da Yao, were blocked outside the box by the Rockets players, and then Francis launched an attack, breaking through to the inside with a quick high throw, as if it was an offense, but the real purpose was to pass the ball to Da Yao.

Because the player who is the biggest threat to Da Yao's offense has been blocked by his teammates, so he doesn't need to jump too high, he easily occupies a favorable position with a light tiptoe, he grabs the basketball and dunks it into the basket, Chauncy Billups and Osborne on the side want to stop Da Yao from dunking, but the height difference is too much, so he can only watch Da Yao dunk in, and Chauncy Billups was also fouled by Da Yao. The referee immediately awarded Chancey Billups and signaled Da Yao to add a penalty.

Chauncy Billups tried to explain that he didn't run into Da Yao and asked the referee to revoke the penalty, but the referee ignored him and even gave Chaunsie Billups a technical foul.

Osborne stopped Chauncibillups and didn't let him say more, now is not the time to worry about this, the game time is only 13 seconds, and the initiative is still on the Pistons' side.

Da Yao's free throws were very stable, he added free throws, and the Rockets finally led the Pistons by two points near the end of the game, as long as the Rockets could defend the Pistons next, the game could be won.

And the Pistons didn't think like this, Osborne signaled Ben to serve quickly, Ben Wallace sent the basketball to Chauncey Billups, Chaunci Billups hurriedly went down, and Osborne also quickly stood near the three-point line, ready to catch the ball and shoot, but the Rockets couldn't let Osborn shoot smoothly, and sent two people to be responsible for wrapping Osborne, Osborne had no way to catch the ball.

Just when Osborne was in trouble, Chauncey Billups was ready to go it alone, Chaunsibilups wanted to shoot a two-point shot and play overtime, but Osborne would not allow this to happen, he took the initiative to use Steve Francis as a barrier, blocked it, he finally ran out of the vacancy, and then shouted Chaunsibilups to pass the ball to him, at this time Chaunsibilups had broken through, and the Pistons had six seconds left in the offensive time, he didn't want to pass it, but because the person who wanted the ball was Osborne, So he hesitated and passed the ball out anyway.

But it was Billups who hesitated, so Osborne was surrounded by the Rockets again after receiving the ball, and when he saw that there were still four seconds left in the game time, Osborne had no choice but to force a shot, Osborne's three-point shot was very difficult, and the super difficult step-back jumper, Osborne was almost parallel to the floor, but Osborne still threw the ball out.

The ball was watched by the public, Osborne fell directly to the ground, and then Osborne's teammates pounced on Osborne himself, which also meant that the game was over and the Pistons had a successful kill. (To be continued.) )
