The game between the Rockets and the Pacers entered the final moments, with 1 minute and 23 seconds left in the game.

The Pacers closed the gap of eight points to two points.

Reggie Miller used a three-pointer, a steal, and an assist to complete this wonderful performance.

At this moment, the pressure was suddenly transferred to the rocket's side.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Tang immediately called a timeout, picked up the tactical board and said: "This offense is very critical, I think everyone knows, if I have a success rate in this attack, get the ball and hand it over to Hakim, Hakim, after you get the ball, give me a basket to play, at this time, the closer you get to the basket, the more threatening, even if you can't score, you have to make the opponent's foul, don't hesitate after taking the ball, don't fight to the death, don't need me to teach you, Hakim, okay, let's play, come on, come on, come on, the victory is ours." "Old soup cheered up the Rockets' players.

At the last moment, the Rocket players had different faces, and Da Meng's face was relaxed, and he had seen a lot of games like this.

Garnett was a bit serious, after all, he was a young man.

Horry chewed gum and looked at the Pacers' bench, not knowing what he was thinking.

Saulius's face was heavy, not touching his bracers.

Mark Jackson straightened his basketball shoes with his head down.

The referee blew the whistle and the Rockets began the offense.

Mark Jackson controlled the ball with ease, and Cassel posted it just after the half.

Cassel struggled with the rhythm of the ball control of the jammer Mark Jackson, but Cassel was tired today, he had been on the court for nearly 40 minutes today, and 40 minutes against a strong team like the Rockets was undoubtedly a severe test of spirit, will, strength and technique.

Mark Jackson basically ignored the interference and took the ball straight beyond the three-point line.

Mark Jackson wanted to give the ball to Olajuwon as Old Tang wanted, but Olajuwon was not only standing next to Shmitz, but Dale Davis was also slowly approaching Olajuwon.

Seeing this situation, Mark Jackson gestured, and when he saw Mark Jackson's gesture, Olajuwon was also stunned, and said in his heart: This is for me to do the blocking, is it impossible for Mark to have any new ideas.

Olajuwon still quickly lifted up to help Mark Jackson block.

After blocking Kassel, Mark Jackson quickly controlled the ball and cut inside with Schmitz, and the rest of the Pacers quickly shrank inside to prevent Mark Jackson from killing the interior again.

Just as the Pacers shrank inside, Mark Jackson passed.

In the bottom corner, a Rocket player was waiting, comfortably receiving the pass, no need to adjust at all, jump directly and shoot.

The basketball spins briskly in the air, very fast.

"Huh"

The sound of the basketball rubbing against the net is still so pleasant.

However, this pleasant sound undoubtedly sounded the death knell in the ears of Pacers players and fans.

And the players of the Rockets, both on the court and on the bench.

All roaring excitedly, emitting meaningless scales, just to vent the excitement in their hearts.

And the initiator of this ball, Saullius, just swung his fist hard, and was firmly hugged by the Rocket's players.

Olajuwon stepped forward, rubbed Saulus's head vigorously, and said excitedly: "Man, you are amazing, you are amazing. ”

The others were also venting their excitement on Saulius.

On the other hand, the Pacers, looking at such a ball, lost confidence one by one.

Bird saw that the situation on the field was not right, and immediately called a timeout.

Bird looked at his players, actually laughed, and said: "How about it, isn't the rocket very tasty, and can pour a basin of cold water on you when your hearts are full of hope." Okay, don't do that, we still have time, 1 minute 05 seconds, we have 1 minute 05 seconds to rewrite the score. First of all, we have to make sure that this offense can score, whether it's two points or three points, this ball is very important, the Rockets will understand, they will definitely defend desperately, now the only hole in the Rockets' defense is the old guy Mark, you should know his weaknesses. Sam, I know your speed is not very fast, but this time you must use your speed to surpass the old guy Mark, go inside, the two people on the inside, Smitz and Dyer, the two of you are desperately carrying under the basket, pay attention, watch how Sam passes the ball is outside or inside, Anthony is off, Chris you go, Chris and Reggie you two pay attention to the empty space, this ball must go in, this is related to the outcome of this game, okay go ahead, guys. ”

After Bird laid out the final tactics, the Pacers' players also started this offense.

However, it was surprising that the Rockets replaced Mark Jackson with Daniels.

After coming on the field, Daniels's task is to keep up with Cassel, and Lao Tang, who has coached Kassel, knows how big a heart this player he once is, and he must not let his guard down on this person at this time.

Looking at Daniels, who was as sticky as a dogskin plaster, Cassel knew that this was the Rocket's care for himself.

There is no way, he is facing the former head coach, and Lao Tang knows all his technical characteristics very well.

The rocket didn't limit himself like this at the beginning, just for fear of encountering such an emergency situation, and using a person with full physical strength and a certain understanding of himself to see himself die.

Casal thought as he controlled the ball and slowly advanced to the Rockets' half.

After approaching the three-point line, Cassel suddenly accelerated and rushed to the right side of Daniels, Daniels took a startled step and met him, thinking to himself: The coach said that I absolutely can't let you into the paint area, even if you foul, this is the most critical moment of this game, I may drop the chain.

It must be said that the No. 4 rookie in '97 was in much better physical condition than Kassel.

However, a player like Cassel is not able to defend with his body at all, and he saw that Cassel pulled the ball back with a flick of his wrist and made a very standard backward shot.

The ball is fast and the time spent in the air is very short.

"Huh"

Hit.

The referee signaled for a 2-pointer, which Cassel had already stepped on.

Still, the ball gave the Pacers a huge boost.

There are 48.6 seconds left in the clock.

Each side had one chance to attack.

The two sides are still three points apart.

Daniels looked at this goal, and was very annoyed in his heart, how did this goal let him score, and it was still in front of me, how could I still face the coach.

At this moment, Daniels's heart was like a galloping horse, standing there with a dead face.

Seeing this situation, Olajuwon walked over, patted Daniels lightly and said: "Boy, it's not a big deal, it's just a ball, what's so uncomfortable, you see we are still ahead, go get the ball and organize the attack." ”

Daniels, who woke up from his chagrin, looked up and saw Olajuwonna's kind smile, and said with some surprise: "I'm sorry, Hakim, I couldn't stop him." ”

"Alright, boy, now is not the time to speak, go and organize an attack." Olajuwon gave Daniels a gentle nudge.

Coming back to his senses, Daniels suddenly remembered Lao Tang's words.

Lao Tang said to him before he went on the court: If you are really scored in front of you by Sam, don't care, you must know that he has been playing in the NBA for 5 years, play to your strengths, you should know that no player in the Rockets has his own value.

Thinking of this, Daniels hurriedly took the pass from the backcourt, and under the defense of Kassel, he quickly passed the half court and came to the Pacers' three-point line.

Immediately made a gesture, and seeing this gesture, Saullius and Horry began to pull the Pacers' defensive formation outside.

The two pitchers pulled outward, and the Pacers didn't dare to be careless at all, if they were to score a three-pointer, then the game would be completely hopeless.

As Saullius and Horry tugged outward, Daniels shook Cassel through with a cross step, and struck straight into the paint.

Seeing such a situation, Miller and Mullin, who were expanding the defense area outward, came up from two directions, and in addition to Kassel behind, a three-person bag appeared, trying to completely seal this year's rookie.

At the moment when the three of them were encircled, Daniels passed, the man was in the air, the ball was thrown to the right side, the angle was very good, Saulus, who received the ball, there was no one around him for 3 meters, and it was a very comfortable pass, and Saullius even had the opportunity to aim at the basket.

Steady shot, the ball is still spinning, as if it fell into the basket slowly and accurately.

"Huh"

The basketball rubs against the net, setting off a white net.

101：95

With 28 seconds left, the Rockets had a six-point lead.

Looking at the basketball that hit again, this time the Pacers' heart was completely gone.

The Pacers players were full of despair, and at this moment, a voice came from the Pacers' side.

"Serve quickly, we still have time, we have 28 seconds, we still have a chance." It was Reggie Miller who spoke, looking at Miller with a resolute face, and the Pacers' mood was slowly picking up.

Yes, there are 28 seconds left, just two balls, what are you afraid of.

The Pacers sent the ball quickly, and Cassel ran all the way straight to the basket.

However, when it came to the basket, Olajuwon and Garnett had blocked his breakthrough route, and with Daniels behind him, the ball was about to miss.

At this moment, Kassel heard someone outside shouting: "Here." ”

Hearing this, Cassel instinctively threw the ball away.

I saw a Pacers player standing outside the three-point line, with a big No. 31 on his jersey and a tall and thin figure, all proving that he was Reggie Miller.

The guy who dares to argue with the leader, the guy who is 8.9 seconds and 8 minutes, no matter how old this guy is, as long as he is on the court, then he will always be the most threatening person.

Now Reggie Miller has confirmed this statement with practical actions.

Miller, who received the ball, shot very calmly, and Saulus, who had already made up the defense in place, had already put his hand on Miller's eyes, but this still couldn't stop him from shooting.

The basketball is pushed out by the thin wrist, and the power is transmitted from the wrist to the fingertips.

Fingertips gently swiped the rough skin of the basketball, with a slight sound of wind, slowly across the sky.

"Huh"

Hit the basket steadily, and the sound of the basketball hitting was heard throughout the court with the loudspeaker.

This one, Reggie Miller is the 'god' of City Square Arena.

There are 17 seconds left in the clock.

There are still 3 points left in the score.

The Rockets have one last chance to attack.

The last moment has finally arrived.
