There was a thunderous boo on the basketball court! Now there are only eighteen seconds left before the end of the third quarter, and in the past few minutes, the Hornets suddenly played another wave of ** on the head of the Suns. Paul played a big role in the attack wave just now, and he used his three consecutive assists to help the Hornets play a pretty good attack wave.

Today, both point guards feasted everyone's eyes to see their bull forks, Paul's stats so far are 17 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 steals, while Nash's stats so far are 18 points, 14 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal. With only eighteen seconds left until the end of the third quarter, the Hornets led the Suns by six points.

The Suns are in a bad situation today, the Hornets have been suppressing them, although the Suns have also had super counterattacks again and again, but such counterattacks have involuntarily weakened later. Then, the Hornets will take advantage of the Suns' opportunity to start back again, and in their frantic counterattack, the Suns will have to give up their lead again, and just like that, the Hornets are still a few points ahead of the Suns.

The ball is in Nash's hands, and he also watched today's game, knowing that this game really made Suns fans and players a little tangled, they have not been able to solve the threat of the Hornets, but the opponent has been seizing the opportunity to suppress them, which makes them feel a little annoyed.

However, it was already the last ball, so Nash was still quite careful when it came to possession...... Otherwise, it would not be a joke to be accidentally snatched by Paul at such a time. In this way, Nash began to slowly dribble outside the three-point line, but he did not rush to attack, after all, this was the last offense of the quarter, and he did not want to leave the Hornets with an offensive opportunity.

With nine seconds left in the game, Nash suddenly used a crotch dribble, and then his speed was on fire, and in a short split second, his speed was completely up to its peak, passing by Paul. Paul was already more defensive against Nash, but he still couldn't defend Nash under this sudden breakthrough, and there were several Suns players next to Nash who were helping him block.

It's just that the Hornets' interior line is as dense as ever, and they didn't leave Nash any chance to break through the goal, so the moment Nash came to the place near the free throw line, his legs kicked the ground, and his body was already in the air!

Although the opponent's interior had jumped up to block Nash, Nash made a clever shot, just shooting his own basketball in the last seconds before their defense came up. In this way, even though the opponent jumped very high, he could only stare dryly in front of Nash's brilliant grasp of the rhythm.

In this case, the basketball flew towards the basket in a unique arc, but what was a little annoying was that although the ball had no problem with the arc and the gliding direction, it was a little worse in terms of strength, and the basketball stumbled on the basket, and then spun around and flew out. With the last four seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Suns fans are a little sorry that it looks like the Hornets Birdmen are still able to get an offensive opportunity now, and then their point difference will be further stacked, so that the Suns will have a bit of trouble to recover the point difference.

Therefore, the fans have already begun to prepare for the super fast break of the Hornets when they see this ball, but at this moment, they suddenly shouted in surprise! Because Marion on the inside suddenly grabbed the basketball and held it firmly in his arms!

"Good board!" Everyone shouted one after another, even Zhang Chen also cheered for Marion's ball in his heart, and at this moment, the inside line of the Hornets quickly surrounded him viciously, Marion's shooting space has been completely locked, and his current position is not too good, just under the basket, so it is quite difficult for him to shoot. Marion judged the situation a little and knew he couldn't score, so he threw the basketball in an impression from the outside.

Marion was only passing with the impression he had just had, after all, time was running out and they had to make the most of every second, so he had no choice but to pass the ball in such a situation. Fortunately, the trajectory of this ball is quite good, and it appeared in Zhang Chen's hand just right!

Zhang Chen's current position is a step or so from the top of the three-point arc, and he suddenly received the pass without the slightest hesitation, at this time Bell just rushed in to grab the rebound, just in front of Zhang Chen and Morrison.

There was no time to hesitate, Zhang Chen's legs opened quickly, and in an instant, his body had turned into an arrow off the string, and it stabbed into the inner line at a rapid pace. The moment Zhang Chen's body was fully activated, Morrison also started the process of starting the whole line with his attention, but when Zhang Chen released all his speed, Morrison could only helplessly follow behind Zhang Chen, and he was blocked by Bell as soon as he took a step!

Zhang Chen continued to break through inside, his ninth-level speed firepower was fully opened, and he threw off another person in an instant, and now there was only one West left in front of him.

Zhang Chen broke through to the left side of the basket, his speed passed two people, but West, a tall man, was still in front of him, Zhang Chen didn't intend to let go of his breakthrough fruit easily, so he didn't stop his breakthrough, but kept entangled with West to a place near the bottom line!

Zhang Chen has no way out, the Hornets' interior defense has shrunk again, Zhang Chen has no chance and space to get closer to the basket than this, seeing that there are only two seconds left in the clock, Zhang Chen suddenly kicked hard while taking a step forward with his right leg, and then, Zhang Chen's body has jumped high. And his body began to slowly cross his own direction as he took off, until he adjusted the direction he was facing into a basket. At the same time, Zhang Chen's body has come to the highest altitude, and he is also regressing in the middle of his body when he is rising, and when his body reaches the highest altitude, his body has also retreated to the point where he can no longer retreat!

West didn't fully judge it just now, and he didn't react until the moment Zhang Chen suddenly pulled it up in front of him, and then he began to jump up into the sky to block Zhang Chen. It's just that he has slowed down a beat in rhythm, after all, Zhang Chen's timing at the moment when he jumped was quite in place, just at the moment when West didn't have time to react.

Although his right hand had already rushed towards the highest altitude he could reach without hesitation, Zhang Chen's body had already begun to fall backwards, so West's right hand was destined to be farther and farther away from Zhang Chen's basketball.

There were still 1.23 seconds left, and Zhang Chen leaned back after such a breakthrough, his body even looked as if it had flown out of bounds, and at this time, the basketball in his hand finally broke out of the waves!

The basketball rushed towards the sky, with incredible force, as if his goal was not to break through the basket but to break through the ceiling, through the round place that humanity had demarcated! At this moment, Zhang Chen's body had begun to decline and fell to the ground, and the basketball also began to fall after reaching the highest point.

"Huh!" The basketball almost fell vertically into the Nets from a high altitude, and it didn't look like it was dragging the mud at all, and the Suns pulled back two points again under Zhang Chen's whistle jumper, and the difference became four points.

There was less than a second left for the Hornets to attack, and the Hornets really didn't do much in that rather limited second, Paul came to the place near the half court and started shooting straight shots, and finally the basketball flew out of the sky above the basketball hoop in a jubilation, and the Suns trailed the Hornets by four points into the final quarter.

-- Although the final quarter of the game will be a real life-and-death battle, but now D'Antoni can't help the annoyance on his face, he said to the players with some annoyance: "Hey...... Can anyone tell me what's going on? I would like to know the answer to a question...... Why is it that when we have the ability to lead our opponents, we are always interrupted by them...... And then we got back to their rhythm...... Oh my God, that's not a good sign! We need to be more calm and control the game, we need to control the rhythm of the game! The next quarter is the one where the game is decided and we can't afford to lose again! We're going to take them down, get it? ”

"Got it!" Everyone knows that D'Antoni is a bit of a bad tone, and in fact the players don't feel good in their hearts, and the Hornets keep them at bay and they feel that they are also to blame. It's a terrible feeling that they're always on the verge of taking the lead and then being pushed back by their opponents. In fact, they are desperate to win today, to prove to the league that they are the boss of the West, and that the Hornets can only be their losers.

"The fourth quarter must be cheered...... Can't let the damned New Orleans win. Xiao Si finally summed up and said to everyone, and suddenly everyone should be there, and the atmosphere in the locker room reached a **.

The rest time between such a section and a section was not too long, and Zhang Chen and the others soon began to fight in the last quarter.

Now on the basketball court, the players of both sides met again, and each other's eyes were already full of fighting spirit. Zhang Chen didn't play at the start of the fourth quarter, he was sitting on the sidelines, watching the two teams play. Now they all understand that at the end of the fourth quarter, the Suns and Hornets will definitely have a life-sacrificing battle, so D'Antoni's guiding ideology is also to let Zhang Chen get enough rest as soon as possible and become the Suns' trump card at the most critical moment.

When D'Antoni and Zhang Chen were both on the bench, D'Antoni was always used to talking to Zhang Chen, and he pointed to Paul on the basketball court and said, "Chen...... What do you think of that little guy? I remember the All-Star Game as if he was your coach! ”

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "That's right...... Speaking of which, Chris is a relatively energetic player, and his face is always full of a businesslike look...... I think he's probably one of the best 1.8 meters players in the league right now. ”

Speaking of Chris...... Chen, your speed has really improved a lot. ”

"Uh...... I seem. ”

"I want to tell you that you should probably try to improve your ball skills, and you can see that your speed is a bit clumsy because of you - sorry, that's the word I use to describe your ball control, but anyway you really need to improve your ball skills, you need to spend more time on it, and your physicality...... According to Aaron, your talent is improving. In this way, you can also improve some of your physical fitness as much as possible...... Only then will you be able to truly embark on the road to superstardom. ”

Zhang Chen could hear that this old guy didn't just say this to improve the combat effectiveness of the Sun team, after all, it was difficult for him to be tied to Zhang Chen for the rest of his life. Zhang Chen nodded slightly when he heard these words, and said, "I will work hard." ”

D'Antoni nodded, but before he could finish his nod, he suddenly changed his hands to his chest and pointed forward, and then he said loudly to Dio, who was passing by, "Hey...... Man, don't you want to do it anymore? How easy it was to lose a ball? ”

Dior smiled innocently and ran forward, D'Antoni looked at Dior's back a little helplessly, and said to Zhang Chen: "Hey, Chen, you have to be ready to play...... Looks like they don't want you to be too laid-back. ”

With six minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Suns are still five points behind the Hornets, and now it's the Hornets' possession, and Paul hit a jumper to make the Suns seven points behind.

After the whistle, Zhang Chen returned to the game.

Seeing Zhang Chen's play, the Suns players began to smile slightly, after all, Zhang Chen is one of their strongest firepower, and his playfulness can make the Suns' firepower more ferocious, but the Hornets, especially Paul and Morrison, are not very good when they see Zhang Chen's face. Morrison is completely because Zhang Chen can use all kinds of means, imaginable, and strange means to bankrupt his plan to defend him. Paul frowned because he knew Zhang Chen's strength very well, he knew what kind of player he was, anyway, at least he liked such a player from a point guard point guard's point point of view.

It's just that they are enemies now, and Paul is a little weak when he knows that the Suns are going to add another new force, after all, they also want to win this game, even more than the Suns.

The first ball was the Suns' possession, Nash controlled the ball over half court and began to prepare to organize the offense, and now Zhang Chen is back He is also relieved. They entered the fourth quarter and faced the same situation as they did in the first three quarters, which was that they were always knocked down by the opponent when they could lead the Hornets, and then they faced another wave of Hornets attacks, and then their seemingly low-hanging lead was wiped out again.

It's not just the players who are hurting, the audience is also hurting when they see this situation, seeing that the two sides are going to change, and as a result, the Suns are snuffed out again...... The crowd hated to be one of the players and rushed up to kick the Hornets in the ass.

"Tatsu! Catch! Nash immediately handed the ball to him when he saw Zhang Chen on the court, and at the same time he also began to take Paul around the place where the inside and outside lines were handed over, anyway, the two of them were more loving and happy, and there was no tension. Zhang Chen faced Morrison again, he lowered his center of gravity, and then held the ball in both hands around his right waist, and then his right leg poked forward.

Morrison has also defended Kobe, and he also knows the technical characteristics of that guy and Kobe's strength, and he can't help but be slightly stunned when he sees Zhang Chen's action: This guy's starting style is quite similar to Kobe's. Zhang Chen stretched out his right leg and poked forward twice, Morrison was still unmoved, you must know that Kobe always has the patience to do a lot of feints, and when the defenders are impatient, it is when he starts to break out, Morrison's judgment of Zhang Chen is obviously the same.

Zhang Chen was really ready to pull it out just now, seeing that Morrison was unmoved, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity again, and then used his body side to block the groping pig hand from Morrison who tried to steal, and then ran forward with a kick on his right leg!

"Sure enough!" Morrison couldn't help but want to admire his ruthless eye for watching people's attacks, and he immediately took a step back, preparing to defend Zhang Chen's next breakthrough attack. It's just that at this time, something happened that surprised him.

Zhang Chen just took a step forward, and when he saw that Morrison had followed, he suddenly withdrew his right leg, and his body retreated outside the three-point line in a short moment! Morrison in front of him has been pulled away by him by a step or so, and in the face of this distance that can basically make him calm, Zhang Chen jumped and shot without pressure. Morrison's right hand, which hurried back, once again became the foil for Zhang Chen's goal, and the basketball slid through a superb arc and plunged directly into the basket.

Three-point shot!

With four points left in the final score, the Suns look like they're about to start another counterattack.

Morrison still has a headache, Zhang Chen's shooting is so awesome that he can't defend at all, he can only pray that he can't shoot, but Zhang Chen can often shoot the ball that surprises him, and every time he scores a goal, which makes him helpless.

The Hornets have been shooting well in this game, and now that the offense and defense are switching, their shooting percentage is finally a little problematic, and West, the seventeen-foot assassin, finally missed a jumper from seventeen feet, and the basketball flew out and came into the hands of Xiao Si. Xiao Si hurriedly passed the ball to Nash, who saw that the Hornets' retreat was still in order, and they didn't have any fast break opportunities, so he didn't rush and let his teammates slowly return to the half, and another positional battle kicked off.

At this time, Zhang Chen began to run, he saw that the Suns had a leading trend, so he began to plan his own offense, Morrison chased after Zhang Chen, but after Zhang Chen made a series of running feints, Morrison had no choice, and finally Zhang Chen could only let Zhang Chen distance himself from him. Nash's pass at this time also appeared in Zhang Chen's hand just right, and then Zhang Chen began to jump shot.

However, Morrison rushed to Zhang Chen's last moment to start his jumper, and his high right hand had seriously affected Zhang Chen's shot coherence. A three-point shooter's consistent shooting is quite important, just like Zhang Chen, when they usually shoot three-point shots without defense, the shooting rate can even reach a staggering 97% or even higher, but on the basketball court - his total three-point shooting rate this season is only 54.6%, and he is already the league's three-point king. And the key reason for this is that in actual combat, their shots will be interfered by the opponent, which affects the coherence of their shots.

Therefore, Zhang Chen's jump shot could only go bankrupt, because he knew that he had been seriously interfered with, and at this time he happened to see that Xiao Si on the inside had a vacancy, so he immediately changed the pitch to pass, and the basketball flew into Xiao Si's hands.

The Hornets didn't expect Zhang Chen to choose a pass, and he could only let Xiao Si hit a dunk shot, and also caused a foul on the Hornets players, Xiao Si's free throw hit steadily, and the Suns were just one point behind.

"It's overtaken!" Many people began to yearn for the arrival of the overtaking moment, but at this time they were also more nervous, because in the previous game, it was often at this time that the Suns began to miss shots and the like, and were overturned by the Hornets, and the Hornets attacked again ferociously, and the Suns' lead trend could only collapse.

The Hornets' offense was sabotaged by the Suns, Chandler received a relatively good pass from Paul, and immediately began to rise from the ground and began to roar and slam dunks, but was covered by a big hat from Xiao Si, and the referee immediately came up and said that Xiao Si fouled the ball.

Smalls was a little annoyed, but he still gave up the tempting idea of going to the referee to theorize under the blockade of his teammates, and Chandler began to shoot free throws, and his free throw shooting rate was not much more than 70%, and he hit one of the two free throws this time, creating a good opportunity for the Suns to overtake.

The players from both sides immediately returned to the halfcourt, and the audience began to look forward to it, but there was also some concern that the Suns would be strangled in the cradle by the Hornets again, so they all began to watch the next ball.

The basketball came to Nash's hands, he still controlled the ball relatively steadily through the half court, and then his unhurried rhythm suddenly changed dramatically, and then the basketball in his hand was thrown out by him, all the way into the inside, and came to the hands of Xiao Si.

The ball was passed quite far away, and seeing that Xiao Si successfully received the basketball, Paul also praised Nash sincerely: "Hey, Steve...... What a beautiful pass this ball has! It's just that although the ball was passed beautifully, Xiao Si was immediately attacked by the opponent after receiving it, so he had to pass the ball to Marion, but Marion was also caught by the opponent's person, and finally could only pass the ball to Bale.

A big cooperation of the Suns team was formed, and Bell immediately passed it out before he received the ball and passed it to Zhang Chen's hands.

The Suns' series of passing combinations made the Hornets a little dazzled, especially Morrison, because Bell's shooting feint just now was too real and could only run over to help defend Bell, and this left enough space for Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen received the basketball outside the three-point line and started to jump without pressure, once he jumped to the ground, life and death were put aside, and he was unmoved, and only the distant basket was left in his eyes. The audience's hearts were about to jump out of their throats...... They don't want to repeat the same mistakes again, they want the Suns to really overtake the score. So, all of them focused their eyes on the figure who started to jump shot!

"Huh!" Three-point shot! The Suns are one point ahead! Suddenly, the audience shouted like thunder, and the applause was like the rolling waves of the sea, and the sound of the waves drowned everything in a moment.

Zhang Chen's jump shot was immediately celebrated by his teammates who forcibly hit his chest, and at this time, the replays on the big screen and some live broadcast stations were already playing the wonderful cooperation just now, and all five members of the Suns participated in it.

In the next few minutes, the Suns maintained their lead, but their lead did not last long, just two minutes later, the Hornets began to launch a wave of counterattacks, Paul assisted his teammates in a row, and he also shot a three-pointer, and the Hornets instantly overtook the Suns and saw the possibility of widening the score gap.

Fortunately, Nash stood up at the critical moment, he broke through into the interior line and deceived a 2+1 up, his free throws hit steadily, got three points, and let the Suns temporarily stabilize the situation, and then in the next time, the two sides began to attack each other at the most thrilling moment, their scores are alternately rising, the Suns hit one, and the Hornets have to return it, and they have maintained it in this state until the end of the game.

Although both sides wanted to open up the score immediately, neither side was able to achieve this good wish, as the opponent always came out at the right time to stop them.

With 42 seconds left in the game, the Suns' Nash dragged on to 25 seconds, leaving the Hornets with an offensive opportunity while not cutting off his own back, and then he hit a pull-up jump shot to score two points, and the Suns outscored the Hornets by one point.

It really responded to the mainstream of the point guard duel in this game, Paul pressed the clock until the last five seconds left, broke through successfully, and hit a shot, and the Hornets led by one point.

With only five seconds left for the Suns, D'Antoni called a timeout and the game resumed, and at this time, Nash passed the basketball to Zhang Chen, who was on the left foot of the three-point line! Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Zhang Chen.
