Chapter 162: A Difficult Victory
Larry Brown didn't expect Iverson to be able to play the Pistons players in the final moments, passing the ball to the inside, he looked at the time, there were 45 seconds left, the situation was very unfavorable for the Pistons, even if the Pistons could score two or three points in the next 24 seconds of offensive time, the 76ers still had a chance to kill.
Thinking of this, Larry Brown looked at his former disciples, he had really grown a lot, although he was still so unruly and sharp, but his tactical level had indeed improved a lot, and Larry Brown had no choice but to call a timeout to arrange his tactics.
The Pistons players quickly gathered around Larry Brown, Larry Brown, it seems that they all know that Coach Larry has something important to say, Larry Brown saw that the players were all around him, and only smelled the smell of a group of stinky men rushing towards him, but he was also used to it, after all, professional athletes are sweaters, and no one can change it, and he can only endure it as a head coach.
"I know you're tired and want to rest, but we need to hold on for the next 45 seconds before we can rest, of course, the key is what kind of mood you take to rest, whether you are willing to rest with the mood of defeat or the mood of victory."
The players also knew that the manager wanted to win, especially this one, so they all replied: "At the last minute, we will not let our guard down, you can do it, we will make sure to complete the task." ”
Larry Brown also knows that time is urgent, so he will stop dating, "In the next 45 seconds, we will definitely increase the pace of the offense. As soon as he started serving, Osborne grabbed a three-pointer. It's best to finish the offense in about 6 seconds, and then try to get the 76ers to play 24 seconds of offensive time or use full-court pressing to force the 76ers to make turnovers. In that case, we have 16 seconds to complete the final attack, and this is the tactic, and if you execute it well, we will win, okay, that's it, you can play. ”
Everyone felt a little stressed when they heard Larry Brown's words, the tactics were very simple, and they were all something that everyone could think of. But the key is execution, and I don't know if the tactics can be played smoothly.
The game started again, by Tysian Springs' bottom line, he sent it directly to Osborne, Osborne advanced quickly with the ball, and after half he directly used a standard three-point shot to throw the ball out at a distance from the three-point line, Iverson didn't expect to dare to do this at such a critical moment, but Iverson now seems to realize that Osborne has shown ultra-long three-point shooting in several games, thinking of this, Iverson suddenly felt a little annoyed that he didn't think of it.
Now we can only pray that Osborne's three-point shot will not go in. It's just a pity that when Iverson turned around to see if the basketball was scored, Osborne's three-point shot happened to fall into the basket, and Osborne's offense only took 5 seconds, Iverson turned his head and looked at Osborne with some shock. I thought to myself, I was really careless just now, and it seems that the whole audience will have to be pressed at the last moment. Otherwise, it is easy to have problems.
But fortunately, there is still room to make up for it, and now the 76ers still have a lot of offensive time. And the Pistons are only one point ahead, so there's no need to panic.
Iverson calmed down. Then go directly to Eriksno to ask for the ball, at this time Iverson still only believes in himself, after Iverson got the ball, Osborne looked at Iverson very vigilantly, but Iverson didn't seem to be in a hurry, dribbling the ball and observing the situation on the field, as if it was not his side that was behind, Iverson stopped for about two or three seconds, and then quickly launched, directly attacked, Osborne followed Iverson, interfered with him behind Iverson, and Osborne had Ben Wallace in front of Iverson to defend in front of Iverson.
However, Iverson seems to have expected it, but in fact, everyone can analyze that Iverson is the main target of defense, he quickly drilled into the interior line and stirred up the Pistons inside a mess, and then Iverson did not dare to hesitate, seeing that the interior line did not have a chance to shoot, he jumped up and passed the ball to Glenn Robinson, who was in an open position, Glenn Robinson did not hesitate, and easily hit two points from mid-range.
The 76ers took another point ahead, but it took 18 seconds to score the ball, and the home fans cheered again, but the Pistons were not in a hurry at all, because this is in line with the manager's tactical deployment, and now the Pistons have the time for the last attack, this time if they can score and successfully run out of game time, the winning side is the Pistons, if not, the winner is the 76ers.
At this time, the Pistons players on the court all seemed very calm, but a series of small beads of sweat on their foreheads revealed their inner tension.
In the last attack, Ben Wallace was responsible for serving the ball, and then he sent the ball to Chauncey Billups, who is currently the most stable dribbling of the Pistons, Chauncy Billups dribbled the ball cautiously and advanced, not daring to be careless, and his defender Eric Snow did not dare to be careless, the Pistons players all ran according to the usual tactics, the victory or defeat was in an instant, and the time of the goal must be grasped well, the ball must be scored and must not leave too much time for the 76ers, The 76ers also focused on Chauncey Billups and Osborne, the two guards, because the Pistons' last offense is likely to be Osborne, but it may also be Chauncy Billups, these two must not let go.
The two men pressed to defend Osborne, and it was very uncomfortable to defend Osborne, let alone receive the ball, and even the running position was a little difficult, although Chauncy Billups had no one to cover it, but he saw that the breakthrough route of Eriksno's left and right wings was blocked.
Billups didn't dare to break through at will when he saw this situation, and tried to be as safe as possible, his stagnation made the game seem to have entered a stalemate time, Osborne was caught in the middle of the game, and no matter how he ran, someone made up for it in time, which made Osborne very stupid. It hurts, and Tysian Prince is also entangled by Glenn Robinson, only Ben Wallace and Memet Oku are a little laid-back, but this is definitely an illusion, as long as they receive the ball, they will definitely be caught by the 76ers.
As time passed, with nine seconds left in the game, Chauncey Billups moved, and then he quickly passed Alex Nor, rushed to the inside, and the rest of the team also gave him a position, but only Osborne was withdrawing from the outside, and when everyone's attention was drawn to Chaunci Billups, Billups passed a wide area to Osborne.
Iverson seemed to know that it was Osborne who shot the last attack, and reacted quickly and pounced directly on Osborne, Osborne didn't dare to hesitate when he received the ball, and it became like the previous time, Iverson and Osborn's heads-up, but Osborne's ball must not let Iverson touch it again, so Osborne raised his arm to shoot this time, although this way of shooting made him very uncomfortable, but his shooting was finally interfered with by Iverson, Iverson really wants to punch himself now, Knowing that the Pistons' last offense might be Osborne, he was still attracted to Chauncey Billups.
Osborne felt that this three-point shot was a little uncomfortable, and immediately felt that this time the shot was going to be off, and then Osborne rushed directly to the bottom of the basket, the situation was as Osborne expected, the basketball hit the inside of the basket, and the basketball flew up vertically. But fortunately, the basketball was just naughty and fell straight up and down into the basket.
At this point, Osborne's heart finally landed, and the Pistons led by two points. Just when the Pistons players wanted to celebrate, Larry Brown suddenly reminded: "The game is not over yet? Don't rush to celebrate just yet. ”
Then everyone saw that there were 1.9 seconds left in the game, at this time Osborne suddenly had a bad feeling, he had witnessed all kinds of killer shots when he was still a fan, and 1.9 seconds was completely enough, at this time he calmly told his teammates: "For a while, the 76ers will attack, we must guard against three-point shots, and the 76ers' final killer shot, the most likely is Iverson, and we must guard against him for a while." Everyone agreed.
In the end, the 76ers served, and the basketball really wanted to send it to Iverson, but Iverson seemed to know that he was the object of strict defense and signaled the basketball not to pass it to him, the server passed the ball to Robinson, Robinson did not throw it himself, he passed the ball to Iverson again, at this time Iverson did not have any idea and threw the ball directly, the Pistons could only watch the route of the basketball flight, praying that the basketball would not go into the basket, but it seemed that the prayer of the Pistons did not work, and the basketball actually went in, At this time, the 76ers were suddenly boiling, and the arena was also thunderous.
However, Osborne seemed to see that when Iverson shot, the time had run out, and sure enough, the referee ruled that the goal was not counted through video replay, and the 76ers suddenly fell into a wave of abuse at home. (To be continued.) )
