Chapter 175 [Three overtime, who can have the last laugh]

With 3:11 left in overtime, Stoadamire made his fifth foul while defending Bidrins. Biedrins made 1 of 2 free throws. The score was 141 to 143. The Bobcats trailed by two points.

Biedrins' free throw was disappointing, but his strong play worked this time around, and Suns coach Porter replaced him with Sean Marx to protect Studamayre.

The Suns are missing their leading scorer, but they still have Nash. Nash is the most important person in the Suns.

Nash looks tired, although the action is always elegant, but the breakthrough speed is much slower, Calderon has been following Nash, he has done a good job of preventing Nash from breaking through, but Nash's most powerful thing is passing, he dribbled into the three-point line, dribbling slowed down, suddenly hit the ground pass, and passed the ball from Hayes, Wallace, Calderon to Dior on the bottom line. Both Hayes and Wallace reached out to try for a steal, but reacted a little slower and came close to reaching the basketball.

Biedrins was drawn to the defense by Max, and the Bobcats' interior line was empty. After receiving the pass, Dio adjusted his easy jumper to score. 141 to 145.

The Bobcat requested a timeout. When Nash was off, Potter wanted to hug him and kiss him. The Canadian has already scored 32 points and 19 assists in this game, and with his play, Porter seems to have seen the dawn of victory, and it is a blessing to have a super player under his command who can always connect the team.

3 minutes, 4 points. The Bobcat still has a chance to recover.

"Man-to-man defensive, Andris [Biedrins], you have to pay attention to the movement around you when you are fighting and help defend at all times. Jose, you have to keep up a little bit more when you're defending Nash, don't let him pass the ball easily. "D'Antoni has stressed the defence against Nash on more than one occasion.

Calderon listened quite seriously, but everyone knows that the firepower of Nash is not something he can stop alone, and now he is just a good point guard and the best point guard There is still a big gap between Nash, and it is not at the same level at all.

"Chuck's offense is invincible, but the Bobcats' defense is shit! Shit! It's disgusting! Nash dances a waltz and throws a wink at a girl on the sidelines to assist his teammates! Putting a few obstacles under the basket is more effective than the Bobcats, and the obstacles at least don't run around! This bunch of burdens! Seeing the Bobcats trail by four points, Barkley exclaimed.

Smith said: "Charles, we're live now. ”

Barkley immediately said very seriously: "Yes." Nash's assist for Dio's goal is very beautiful, and he has delivered such wonderful assists many times before, and he deserves to be the best point guard, Kenny, where did we just go? ”

Smith: "......"

Barkley added: "It's a bit bad for the Bobcats right now, but there's still time, let's see how the Suns can defend against Hayes' offense!" ”

In this game, Hayes has scored 48 points, which is only one point away from his career scoring record. Last season's highest 49 points came against the Suns. In the second half, Hayes played a lot of iron under the opponent's bag, so he has not been able to break the 50-point mark now, and as long as he scores one more goal, he can become the only 50+ gentleman in the history of the Bobcats. Of course, the Bobcats' history is a little shorter, only 3 years ...... "Carl (Landry) came on the court to replace Chuck. Van (Weaver) replaces Michael (Petrus). Jose, you have to organize the attack. Chuck, you can only rest for a minute. D'Antoni said.

The timeout was quickly over and the players were back on the pitch.

Seeing Hayes being replaced, Barkley came to another complaining show: "D'Antoni must have a brain show, how can the Bobcats attack when Hayes is replaced at this time?" I can feel the resentment of the fans from here! ”

"It's your grudge, isn't it?" Smith said helplessly.

"It's all the same." Buckley airway.

D'Antoni sat down next to Hayes and said, "I'll be up to you for a while." How do you feel? ”

"Nash is too strong." Hayes stared at the pitch and said, "He can pass such a small gap to his teammates, he is crazy this time." ”

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say, don't you be able to pass that kind of ball when you're training?" D'Antoni said.

"I dare to pass like that in training, I'm afraid of making mistakes in the game, you mean I should pass more of that kind of ball in the game?" Hayes asked with a frown, Weaver hit another shot on the court, but fortunately the Suns also made a mistake on the fast break, and Dio received the ball unsteadily and touched the ball out of the baseline. If the Suns have a six-point lead, it's not going to be easy.

"I think you should do that, you're playing too steadily now, and you don't have a creative surname. You can play more flexibly and drive the whole team to attack. Five people playing like one person is the highest level of running and shooting, and now the other four people are playing around you alone. Can you understand what I'm saying? D'Antoni said.

Hayes understood a little, he and his teammates still lacked chemistry, and his teammates' hands were cold while he continued to attack. Nash is a great scorer, but his first priority is always passing, in order to get his teammates to play out.

D'Antoni said: "I don't think you're confident enough. When you're training, you're doing better. You've only made two mistakes in three games, but I think you're trying to be too consistent. If you can fully use your passing ability, maybe you can better revitalize the whole team, Jose is also a type of stability, running and shooting requires creativity. ”

Hayes did often make some difficult passes in training, but when it came to the game, he was worried about mistakes, so he didn't pass the ball with particularly fancy movements, and he had to hesitate when he saw the opening. Although Johnson always remembered what he said, "do it before you think about it", how many people can really do it on the court? Magic always averaged more than 10 assists per game, but averaged 4 turnovers per game. Nash is also averaging nearly four turnovers per game. It's hard for super point guards not to make mistakes, but they lead the whole team to attack and make their teammates stronger.

Could it be that fewer mistakes are also a disadvantage? Hayes found himself still thinking too much.

"Get ready to play. Hit the flexibility point. D'Antoni said.

At this point, Gerard Wallace scored on a mid-range shot to pull a ball back for the Bobcats. 143 to 145.

Hayes replaces Biedrins. Landry played so well in this game that D'Antoni decided to keep him on the pitch. He didn't want to see the game lose because of Biedrins' free throws.

"Defend this ball and improve your movement when you attack!" Hayes shouted.

As soon as Hayes came on the court, Barkley immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Okay, the Bobcats are going to fight back!" ”

Smith laughed, "yes, your avatar is playing again." The Bobcats still had to defend the Suns this offense first, and Stoudamire also played. ”

The Suns players are very tired right now. Nash played 48 minutes, close to the full game, and his physical strength was good, and his movement was much slower. Stoudmayre covered, and after Nash broke through, he saw that the opponent was not approaching, and his pull-up jump shot was missed.

Nash is not Jordan, and although he is a good scorer, he can't overwhelm his opponent with his score. Hayes grabbed the rebound. Marion stumbled in the air. Hayes still had plenty of strength, and he handed the ball to Calderon and ran towards the Suns half. Calderon goes to the front court and passes to Hayes again.

Landry blocked, and Hayes broke through on the left and hit a pull-up jumper. 145 to 145. The score was tied again. Hayes' personal score finally reached 50 points.

Stadamire couldn't get in front of him in time, giving him plenty of chances. "Little Overlord" is also tired. Originally, he was not particularly tough on the defensive end.

Nash assisted on Staradamire's jumper to bring his tally to 20. Hayes also assisted on Weaver's layup. After that, the two sides shot a few times and made no achievements. 147-147 The two sides went into the second overtime.

In the second overtime, Hayes, benefiting from D'Antoni, played more flexibly, passing the ball more to his teammates to attack, and he actively fought for rebounds to help the team. He made three brilliant passes, also had two turnovers, and was hit by the Suns on the counter-attack.

Wallace scored eight points in the quarter and narrowly missed the game to the Bobcats. With 4.7 seconds left in the race, the Bobcats still have a two-point lead. But in the final moments, Barbosa hit a mid-range shot to extend the game again.

159-159, the two sides went into the third overtime.

"I really hate overtime! Worse again. Are they ready to break history this game? Barkley shouted.

"You hate overtime, but the crowd likes it, the people who came to see the game were worth it, and they watched the game for more than a quarter. The two teams are really close, Nash has already dished out 23 assists, and Stoudamire has scored 41 points. Still can't help the team win. Hayes 52 points, 16 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals, Wallace 31 points and 12 rebounds, how long have we not seen such a game? Smith sighed.

Barkley said: "I think it's time for the next quarter to decide. The Suns' main players are missing rotation, and they're getting slower. ”

"Cheer up, the sun is gone. We'll kill them in one go. We have a physical advantage. Catch the ball and throw it boldly. Hayes said.

"......" Wallace opened his mouth and didn't speak, he had played 52 minutes, the longest playing time of any player in the game, and what he wanted to say was 'I have to finish the game next quarter or I'll die.'"

Someone is dying of exhaustion, and there is someone who is very energetic, and that is Okafor, who only played 16 minutes in this game. Scored 2 points and 5 rebounds.

"The offense is still Chuck at the core, the last few passes were good, keep playing like this, don't care about mistakes." D'Antoni said: "We pressed all over the court and pulled ourselves together. ”

D'Antoni sent Biedrins, Landry, Hayes, Azubuuk, Felton. Hayes got into the swingman's position, ready for a last-ditch effort.

Sun Barbossa replaces Bale and the others are the starters in the opening game. Fight to this time, if you can't win, it's too wronged. However, they are already a little overwhelmed.

The Bobcats opened the game with a heavy blow to the Suns. He took advantage of Landry's block, broke through on the right side of the ball, and before Dior could make up the defense, he passed the ball straight to Felton, who cut in from the side. Nash was already slower than Felton, and now the gap is even more pronounced. Felton receives the ball in the middle and goes to the basket. Stoudemire didn't dare to shoot under the basket and he had five fouls on his back. If you're not careful, you'll be penalized. Felton makes a layup. 161 to 159.

Then, the Bobcats didn't retreat and took a full-court press. Azubuke relied on his physical advantage to force Nash at the back. Stoudamire covered Nash, who was able to dribble the ball across the frontcourt, and time had already been spent. Nash passes the ball to Marion, who dribbles inside and is dubbed down by Hayes. Hayes made a long pass to Felton with both hands, and the latter received the ball and went straight in, a one-handed dunk hand! 163 to 159.

The Suns trailed by 4 points, and the ball was pressed by the Bobcats all over the court and couldn't get up to speed.

Barbosa dribbled across the half-pitch and Felton was always by his side to interfere. Barbossa couldn't break through to Dio, who passed the ball to Nash. Nash borrowed Stadamire to cover a three-point shot and missed. Biedrins took the rebound.

Hayes waved his hand, and Azubuuk and Felton hurried down together. Biedrins played a long pass to Azubuuk, who passed it to Hayes, and the Suns were quick to defend, and Hayes squeezed Marion into the three-second zone, taking the ball and observing the situation with his eyes. Suddenly, the ball stepped down and landy followed up in the middle, catching the ball and dunking the basketball with both hands. 165 to 159.

The Suns served the baseline ball, and Stadameyer still had to cover in the backcourt to break the Bobcats' frontcourt pressing. Nash in the front court gave the ball to Barbosa, and Barbosa's three-pointer did not score. Landry grabbed the rebound and handed it to Felton, who flew across the half court with the ball and gave it to Hayes inside. Hayes singled Stadamyer, turned around and went into the three-second zone to dunk. In a hurry, Stadamire fouled the thug.

Hayes was awarded a free throw and Stadameyer was sent off with six fouls. The sun is gone!
