Chapter 70: Eleven Consecutive Victories
After Huang Jun landed, he looked at the basketball that was still flying in the air, and said "yes".
The words fell, the basketball in the air flew towards the basket, and finally fell down, brushed, and directly penetrated the heart into the net, and the crisp sound came out very clearly, and all the people who paid attention heard the sound from the goal.
Seeing that the ball went in, the head coach of the Pistons immediately called a timeout, and the current situation is very, very unfavorable for the Pistons, and then they have to compete with time, because at this time they are already four points behind, and at this time there are only seventeen seconds before the end of the game, and now they need to force a strong attack, score this goal, and then turn back to use foul tactics against the Cavaliers.
Cavaliers' head coach Brown knows all too well that there is a timeout on both sides now to bring the game to a halt again.
This side of the pistons.
"The situation is very unfavorable for us, we can say that we have no way back at all, if we don't score this goal, then we will be done with this game, unless it is a miracle, of course we can't count on a miracle. If a miracle happens every day, can it still be called a miracle? Curry said first.
Watching the reaction of his players, he then continued, "The next attack is handed over to Iverson, make sure to get points for the team in the shortest possible time, I don't care what you choose, it's up to you whether it's two points or three points, as long as you can play for the team in the next time."
Iverson nodded to indicate that he knew, and at the same time, with a determined gaze in his eyes, Curry was relieved to see this, although he had not coached the former superstar before this, but he still knew very well what this kind of look meant.
Curry then laid out everything around Iverson until the end of the timeout, and the importance of this offense to them was needless to say, either to increase their winning streak or to watch the opponent win 11 in a row.
Knight's side.
"Huang, you played great, this kind of decisiveness is exactly what I need, this choice is very perfect" Looking at Huang Jun who had just come off the court, Brown didn't boast.
Huang Jun didn't say anything, just nodded and smiled slightly.
"Then I need you to defend against this next attack, as long as you defend it, we won't be far from winning this game. Even if we don't defend it, the initiative is still on our side, and it can be said that we will play without any pressure in the next time, and the pressure on the other side is very great," Brown said with a faint smile.
The players naturally understood, so everyone's expressions were slightly relaxed at this time, and they were not as nervous as the Pistons players.
Next, Asik replaced Ilgoska to increase his defensive ability on the inside. If Asik chooses to break through, then the defense of the inside line will be handed over to you. The perimeter defense is given to Yellow, Battier and James, you guys are okay, right? Brown finished looking at James.
"No problem, of course," James led the way, followed by the other players.
Big Z didn't have any dissatisfaction with being replaced, he was really inferior to Asik in defense, which he still understands very well, so he understands the coach's decision very well.
"Crowds, come back to the game, let's see what happens in the last 17 seconds? Will there be a miracle? Barkley said at this time.
As the sound fell, the on-site referee also blew the whistle again, which was the whistle that continued on behalf of the game.
Of course, the Pistons chose to serve in the half, and the Cavaliers' defense was very good, so that the Pistons couldn't serve the ball for a while, but when they were about to violate the five-second violation, they finally passed the ball out and passed it to Hamilton's hand.
Hamilton, of course, did not choose to play alone, but as the Pistons protagonist arranged, passed the ball to Iverson who had just thrown off the defense, and Iverson, who received the ball, faced Huang Jun face-to-face, and their alignment in this game can be said to be very exciting, although Huang Jun's score is not as much as Iverson, but he has more assists than Iverson.
Huang Jun didn't dare to be a little careless at this time, it was Iverson, although it was no longer at his peak, but his strength and experience were still undoubted, as long as you dared to have a contemptuous heart, then you would definitely suffer what he brought to you.
Iverson doesn't have time to grind with Huang Jun, all he needs now is time, and now he only has seventeen seconds for them, and they are still four points behind, and they can't get back the points in one attack, who will give you a three-plus-one at the last minute?
So I didn't think about it so much, I directly resisted Huang Jun and rushed to the inside, thinking of offensive methods while breaking through.
Just when Iverson was about to break through to the penalty area, Huang Jun resisted Iverson to the death, making it impossible for him to go further.
Seeing this, Iverson said in his heart, the time is almost up. I had no choice but to come to a backward jumper, a very difficult backward jumper, the whole person seemed to fly upside down, and the basketball in his hand was pushed out, and then the person fell directly to the ground.
Huang Jun can't reach this ball at all, there is no way, he can only watch this ball, if this goal is scored, then he can only be speechless, because this ball has been defended very well at the last moment, * The opponent shoots like this, this is not easy, in addition to luck or luck.
Iverson didn't care if he was about to fall to the floor, but his eyes kept looking at the basketball flying towards the basket, looking at the vital ball without blinking, and then with a bang, Iverson fell to the floor, and at the same time there was a crisp sound of netting.
Iverson breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay down peacefully on the floor, not getting up for a long time, because he heard the whistle from the referee and knew that the other party called a timeout, so he didn't get up for a long time, lying on the floor and looking at the sky above the arena.
It took a long time for his teammates to pull him down, and then he got up and walked back to the bench side by side.
It was unbelievable that Iverson hit a very difficult super step-back jumper to save the Pistons with two points left, but there were only eight seconds left before the game. Can the Pistons still have a chance to turn around? It all depends on the knight's face. Kenny Smith said.
"It's incredible, but it's dangerous, and it's good that nothing happened, otherwise it wouldn't be worth it," Barkley said on the side, sweating for Iverson just now.
"Barkley, what you said is to my heart, it is indeed too dangerous, and now Iverson is no longer the young Iverson who can withstand injuries," Kenny Smith said on the side, and he agreed with Barkley's words very much.
Barkley smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Kenny Smith didn't continue the conversation, because the game was about to start, and said, "Can a miracle happen in the last eight seconds?" Let's turn our attention back to the scene and see how the two sides will play out in the last eight seconds. ”
The game came back, the Pistons used a full-court tight*, not allowing the Cavaliers' players to easily receive the ball, at this time the Cavaliers have not paused, as long as they can't send it, then it will be ironclad for five seconds of violation, so the Pistons players, now particularly hard, try to defend, hoping to successfully prevent the opponent into a five-second violation.
However, the Pistons still failed in the end, and still let the Cavaliers successfully send the ball out and send it to Huang Jun's hand, the reason why the ball can be passed to Huang Jun, who is very good at free throws, is because Huang Jun's speed is very fast, and he has been running around, running backwards and other runs, so he ran out of a chance to catch the ball.
Looking at Huang Jun who received the ball, Iverson pounced directly without any hesitation, fouled Huang Jun, and sent Huang Jun to the free throw line.
Huang Jun, who was standing on the free throw line, took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, adjusted his breathing state, and then threw the ball in his hand, brushed, hit the first free throw, and successfully withstood the pressure.
The second free throw, brush, hit again, so that the Cavaliers took it with difficulty in this game, seven seconds, the Cavaliers led by four points, does the Pistons still have a chance?
The Pistons also used up their last timeout, which would have been a timeout for both sides, and the Pistons were definitely going to grab three points next, and the two-point shot no longer made any sense, so there were only three points.
The timeout was a short twenty-second timeout, so the timeout passed quickly.
Coming back from the timeout, Iverson received the serve.
Iverson, who received the ball, took a step forward and directly chose to make a three-point shot, and everyone, including Iverson, turned their eyes to the basketball in the air.
Boom, with this sound came, the sound of iron, Iverson's three-point shot at the last moment, failed to hit, the rebound was directly grabbed by Asik under the basket, and Asik, who grabbed the rebound, directly hugged the ball tightly.
With three seconds left in the game, there was theoretically no hope, but Iverson didn't give up, pounced on Asik, fouled the opponent, and sent the opponent to the free throw line.
Asik, standing at the free throw line, hit one of two free throws. The second free throw missed, the rebound was grabbed by Rashid of the Pistons, and the ball was thrown directly to the basket on that side. Boom, miss, the game is over.
The Pistons' winning streak also ended, and at the same time, seeing the Cavaliers' eleventh consecutive victory, the look of loss on Iverson's face was clearly visible. But I still went up and hugged Huang Jun.
"Aaron, you are my idol, I wear size three because of you, you are my idol and my role model," Huang Jun whispered in Iverson's ear.
Iverson didn't say anything, just hugged it like this, and left the field in disappointment.
"The game is finally over, the Pistons have tried their best, but in front of the Cavaliers, who are stronger than them, they still lost the game in the end, and the Pistons ended a five-game winning streak while giving the Cavaliers an eleven-game winning streak" Barkley said as he watched the final glaring and whistle.
"Yes, Iverson's performance in this game was very good, in the confrontation with Huang Jun, Iverson did not fall into the disadvantage or anything, it can be said that Iverson won the scoring data, but lost the game," Kenny Smith said with a clear bias towards Iverson.
Barkley didn't speak, with a faint smile on his face, he looked at the Cavaliers' number three, and then at the Pistons' number one, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
