Chapter Seventy-Six: The Key Ball

Tang Wenlong's shocking dunk is like a lingering haze, surrounding the hearts of the Nuggets.

No matter how fast Billups' serve was, it didn't change as quickly as the momentum of the people's hearts, and even Anthony had a shocked look on his face, and the strength of his little brother's ability was still beyond his expectations.

This back and forth is reflected on the court, and it becomes a higher level of defensive enthusiasm for the 76ers team, including Hawes and others, like a strong force re-injected into the heart and lungs, making a new source of strength emerge from their originally tired and exhausted bodies.

There was only one person, with an expressionless face, and there was not much change.

Billups looked at the young point guard's face in front of him in surprise, a little puzzled, why did this guy look like he was fine? You know, his teammate just now has scored a goal that is enough to be selected as one of the top ten goals of the month.

Off the court, Collins' brows furrowed deeply, from Holiday to Tang Wenlong's completion of the dunk was only a matter of a moment, Holiday's offensive choice made him very dissatisfied, and at this moment in the face of Billups' possession, he did not show more aggression, what was he thinking? These are the last two minutes!

Billups moved, dangled with his right hand and exchanged his left hand to break through to the left.

The action was unpretentious like his style of play, and at the same time, Anthony used Nenne's off-ball cover to distance himself from Iguodala.

Billups flicked his wrist and before Anthony could get out, he opted for an early pass.

"Good shot!" Yang Jian blurted out praise, insiders look at the doorway, this pass seems simple, but from the perspective of the overall situation and concealment, it can be called the top in the NBA.

Anthony ran out and just happened to receive a pass from Billups.

Almost without thinking, Anthony rose from the ground, his shooting posture was elegant, and coupled with his height and long arms, it was difficult for ordinary people to form a block.

By the time Iguodala pounced, he had already made a move!

Hit or not?

The fans at the scene felt that their hearts were hanging, and all that was left in their eyes was the tumbling basketball, secretly praying silently to fall into the damn basket quickly.

"Oops!" As soon as Anthony made a move, he felt that it was not good, and the grasp of the strength did not seem to be so good.

Sure enough, the basketball landed after being raised, deviated from its original trajectory, and very unfortunately, smashed into the hoop and bounced.

The speed of this rebound was very fast, and the people who were crowded into a pile under the basket didn't have time to touch the basketball when they stretched out their hands, and the basketball was biased to the weak side of the left, where Tang Wenlong happened to walk inside to grab the rebound.

"Hey, you're lucky!" Tang Wenlong's eyes flashed and he unceremoniously accepted the rebound.

As soon as he dribbled and wanted to launch a fast attack, the old monster of the Diggers ran over and disrupted him with his outstretched arms, causing him to dribble behind him and exchange his right hand while reaching out to stop Billups.

After this obstacle, the 76ers also lost the opportunity to break the fast-track place, and Billups let go of Tang Wenlong and returned to his half-court position.

The clock entered the last 1 minute, and at this time it was still a 95-95 tie, and the 76ers had offensive possession.

At this point, the game is already the most common fierce battle in the NBA, and the two hosts of the imperial court station are not too big to see the excitement, and they have speculated that maybe there will be overtime.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and no player wanted to play overtime.

After Tang Wenlong dribbled past half court, Collins asked for a timeout on the sidelines, so the tense atmosphere on the scene was relaxed, and the enthusiastic cheerleading beauties began to twist their waists again.

"We've got to play our success rate, Andre and Don, you two are our main attacking points, come on the pitch, make a screen off the ball for each other on the right side, and then"

After Collins explained the tactics for a while, he paused, hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhu, wait a while, Luis, you go to the game, use your speed to tear apart the Nuggets' defense, you can't outrun that 34-year-old man, right?" ”

Holiday was eclipsed for a moment, and was speechless.

And Louis Williams was slightly stunned, and then his face showed a look of ecstasy, and he nodded busily: "No problem, don't worry, coach, I will definitely use the fastest speed, how can Chauncey outrun me?" ”

"Good, good." Collins patted Louis on the shoulder with satisfaction, and never looked at Holiday again.

The eyes of everyone looking at Holiday contain all kinds of emotions, including pity, doubt, ridicule, and pride, but this is the NBA, today's court stars, tomorrow's quiet people.

Tang Wenlong doesn't care about himself, although Louis's passing is worse than Holiday Holiday, but during this time, Holiday is obviously not in good shape, like rushing into the inside to throw or something too messy.

Kick-off on the spot, Iguodala serves on the sideline in front.

Tang Wenlong ran from the bottom line to the line, and after Hawes's off-ball cover, he easily took Iguodala's serve, and then Iguodala, who finished the ball, went straight to the court from the sidelines.

Luis really listened to Collins's instructions and immediately began to run along the three-point line from the other side of the baseline, and Billups didn't understand why when the 76ers made a substitution at this critical moment, the kid ran away in a puff of smoke, and he was so frightened that he quickly stepped away from his old legs to follow.

The quality of the cover was very good, Iguodala went inside empty, and Kenyon Martin had to let go of his defender and pounce on Iguodala instead.

At the moment on the right side of the field, Billups defended Brandga Luis in an instant.

The vacancy appeared very clearly, Tang Wenlong pushed on his chest, and the basketball passed to Brand, the old captain grabbed the basketball, faced with the opportunity to shoot in the vacant position, and got up to jump.

"Bell~" The crisp sound of hitting iron made Brand blush, and he hurriedly rushed inside, hoping to grab a rebound to make up for it.

This time, Nene made a big kill, squeezed through the crowd and grabbed the rebound with his long arms.

There are only 47.9 seconds left in the clock, 95 draws.

Billups, who was in possession of the ball, looked at George Karl on the sidelines, George Karl hesitated, shook his head and signaled Billups to take control of the offense, and the Nuggets only had one last timeout left, and if it is based on the current situation, there is still a chance to attack.

Billups understood and gave the ball to Anthony after half-time.

Anthony leaned on his back against a strong Iguodala, and the two men had lost count of the number of times they had faced each other.

"You are really iron, you are also from Syracuse University, Tang is ten thousand times more accurate than you." Iguodala spends trash talk at Anthony, hoping to disturb him.

"It's better than you." Anthony did not show weakness and sneered at each other.

The two men faced each other for three seconds, and Anthony turned around and turned into a tentative step attack again.

On the imperial court station, Yang Jian began to give full play to his broadcasting expertise, and quickly explained the attack of this wave of Nuggets: "Anthony fell to the elbow area to face Iguodala, and all of them were pulled away, this is a duel between stars!" He started to dribble, changed hands with a beautiful crotch, chiseled two steps in, stepped back, and shot! ”

"Is there any?" Yang Yi also shouted excitedly.

"Lost it again~" A regretful tone came out of the mouths of the two hosts, and then immediately after, they began to pay attention to the situation on the next court, "I don't know who touched the bottom line of the rebounding ball!" ”

Yang Yi calmed down at this time and said with a smile: "Looking at the replay, it should be the 76ers' ball." ”

"I think so, the referee is going to watch the video replay." Yang Jian said with a smile.

In the TV camera, Tang Wenlong and the others raised their heads and looked at the big screen in the center of the arena, on which the replay just now was played, and Martin and Brand seemed to have touched the basketball at the same time. The referee put on headphones, seriously fast-forwarded and retired, and watched the replay over and over again.

It didn't take long for the three referees to discuss, and after a conclusion, the referee walked onto the court, and then pointed to the Nuggets half-court, indicating that this was the 76ers' ball possession!

The scene immediately burst into boos.

In 32.4 seconds, Louis Williams controlled the ball and advanced, and as soon as the halfway was over, he stopped a step into the center circle, and then did not organize an attack, but from time to time he raised his head to look at the passing time and began to count the seconds to attack.

The boos, defenses, and cheers at the scene were intertwined, and Tang Wenlong's heart was beating fast, as if he was about to pounce.

He simply fell in love with the feeling of walking on the edge of success and failure, like a struggle on the sidelines of life and death, suffocating tension and maddening excitement.

In 20 seconds, Tang Wenlong took the lead and ran outside the three-point line to catch Luis's pass.

"You actually gave such an opportunity to your little brother to do it, are you still a star?" Anthony's trash talk is not weak either, chattering in Iguodala's ear.

Iguodala didn't answer him, and suddenly turned around and ran outside the three-point line.

Tang Wenlong shook his crotch two times in a row, Afralo's palms were sweating nervously, and his legs trembled, but his center of gravity was shaken by this simple crotch sway.

"Oops!" His complexion changed, forgetting that he had committed five fouls on his back, and reached out directly.

And Tang Wenlong took a lightning step, choosing to break through from the left side of Afflaro, Afflaro reached over, obviously to delay with a small action, Tang Wenlong was not sure if the referee would blow a foul at this time, a ruthless heart, a dull head, and he carried out a strong assault regardless of it!

The arm hit Tang Wenlong's body, and the pain stimulated Tang Wenlong's nerve endings.

"Ahh He roared and took another step to send the ball away, his body following at the same time.

Afraro was taken aback, he didn't expect Tang Wenlong to be so brave, he changed his palm to grasp, small movements turned into big actions, and blatantly grabbed the corner of Tang Wenlong's jersey.

An irresistible force came from Tang Wenlong's body, and Aflaro stumbled, and was taken two steps forward by Tang Wenlong.

At this time, the referee couldn't turn a blind eye even if he was super short-sighted, so he had to blow Aflaro's blocking foul.

The fans at the scene didn't buy it even more, and the boos in the Pepsi Center shook the sky.

Tang Wenlong was also surprised, he didn't expect to make a foul in the end, and Afflaro walked off the field dejectedly, he had already committed six fouls.

The watch stopped, and Tang Wenlong walked to the free throw line with 16.3 seconds left.

This season, Tang Wenlong's service shooting rate was as high as 100 percent, and then gradually declined, so far, there is also a nearly ninety percent shooting rate, and he is the best free thrower in the NBA.

He took the referee's first ball and gently flicked it out to the boos from the sky.

In this case, the free throw felt different, Tang Wenlong felt as if the entire arena was vibrating, and the distance between the basket and himself became difficult to grasp.

The basketball spun across a parabola and passed through the net.

One Free Throw!

The boos stopped suddenly, Tang Wenlong's face remained unchanged, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was also under a lot of pressure for the free throw this time, but fortunately the penalty went in. So he took two steps forward and high-fived Brand and Hawes, who were standing one to the left and one behind, and then took two steps back, and without looking at anyone, he high-fived Iguodala and Louis, who reached out.

In the second penalty, Tang Wenlong was more comfortable, and after receiving the ball, he patted it twice and quickly dialed it out

Hit both penalties!
