Chapter 802: 0.4 seconds for the champion

Los Angeles, this is a bad city, Los Angeles Lakers, this is not a good team, and as the nominal three leaders of this team, Szzerbiak clearly interprets such a truth, from the first time I came here was the big three that everyone was popular, the average combination of 80 points per game, the average of 90 points per game in the playoffs, that is an extremely exciting team, It's just that in front of that team lies a green wolf that seems to never be able to cross over.

Although they never crossed the Green Wolves at that time, it was indeed when he was at the peak of this team, whether it was being selected to the All-Star team or averaging more than 20 points per game to easily enter the All-Star, but after that, when the contradictions between those two people continued to intensify, it became more and more difficult for those people around them to adapt to such changes, some left, such as Fisher, and some came, such as Malone and Payton, And his status with the Lakers has not changed much, he is the nominal third leader of the Lakers, but he does not have the real status of a leader.

He didn't think about what to fight for since he came to the Lakers, and the failure of the Warriors made him see a lot of things about himself, but now, when he sees his teammates Duncan and Carter slowly becoming the best players in the NBA, and his teammate James Posey is also a championship in hand, he finds that he can actually have more pursuits, such as beating his mentor this year to become the fourth player to win the NBA championship among the five players in the Wake Forest dynasty. He had this idea when facing the Celtics and Zhuang Fei, so at this time, when he threw out the three-point shot that decided the fate of the Lakers, that ball was also deciding his fate, and when the basketball fell into the net. This basketball could also change the fate of the entire NBA.

In a sense, this is the most perfect shot.

"Despair, incomparable despair befell the Boston Celtics, 126-125, one point behind, 0.4 seconds left, the theoretical minimum time to catch and shoot" Larry Bird on the commentary bench looked helplessly at the Boston Celtics bench who was arranging tactics. At this time, he could feel the aura of death slowly approaching the Celtics from such a distance, and such a loss was absolutely unacceptable for the Celtics.

From the almost lore three-point that Maddie threw in when there were 5 seconds left in the game, to now being successfully counter-killed by Szczebiak in the same way, the distance between the Temple of Heaven and Hell is so short, and what worries Larry Bird more is probably not only the outcome of this game, for the Celtics, this game is almost impossible to win, which can be answered from the Lakers bench bench players laughing and celebrating each other and the madness of the 20,000 spectators on the scene, No one could believe that the Boston Celtics were able to pull off a shutout in 0.4 seconds. Because the minimum time for a shot is 0.4 seconds, which means that the Celtics are not left with any opportunity to adjust the catch, and at this time, it is very interesting that the big screen at Staples Arena actually played the seventh game of 1999, which is known as the greatest Western Conference Finals in NBA history.

In that game, the Timberwolves had the last three seconds to have the final chance. It's just that at the last moment, although Nash hit the shot, he just timed out at the moment of shooting, and it was still timed out for three seconds, not to mention the 0.4 seconds without any opportunity to adjust. Even some Lakers fans burst out laughing when they saw Pierce, who failed to redeem himself, fall at the Alamo Arena, the home of the Spurs at the time, on the big screen at the scene, obviously. These guys are already celebrating the victory, and the fact that Szczebiak's three-pointer has unleashed all the pressure on the Los Angeles Lakers, including the players, coaches, and fans, has now completely relaxed.

"This is the most exciting game I've ever seen in all the Finals in NBA history, and this game has all the elements that fans want, although for many basketball experts and head coaches, this game has a lot of tactical holes, and even think that the two head coaches of this game are gambling, Zhuang Fei gave up his team basketball, and Phil Jackson gave up the decision he just made about Kobe, but I want to say that this is the best part of this game, to hell with those so-called thingsAlthough he has been trying to maintain his demeanor in this game, this game is definitely the most gaffe in the Magic's own amateur commentary career, and his current evaluation of this game is also extremely high

The Boston Celtics bench is very depressed now, this depression is inevitable, all the players are thinking about everything that just happened, lore, anti-lore, everything will appear in the minds of these players, for them, even if 11 of the 15 players of this team are championship members, even if these 11 people have 15 championship rings, but at this time in the face of such pressure, it still makes people feel extremely suffocated and depressed.

It's just that Zhuang Fei didn't bother these people at this time, but stood aside and let these people calm down, he had just said what he should say, only they can really change them, and when watching these people slowly come back to their senses, Zhuang Fei also nodded secretly, the time for these people to wake up is not slow.

"Guys, I don't want to say anything else, you performed great in this game, I'm proud of you, now all you need to do is throw the last ball of this game, and it doesn't matter whether this ball goes in or not, just do what I say, understand" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, at this time he did think of the Western Conference Finals between the Timberwolves and the Spurs 5 years ago like the big screen on the scene, but at that time, the Timberwolves were full of some rookie eggs, Whether it's Garnett's sideline service error on the last attack or Nash's last-time shot, the Celtics are not the same as the Timberwolves at that time. Now, Zhuang Fei can feel that he should believe in the faces of Celtics players like Yao Ming, Xiao Ao and Maddy.

"Okay, guys, let's play, you don't need to leave any regrets" Seeing that these players nodded slowly, Zhuang Fei also said loudly again. At this time, after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, the Celtics players who carried out the last attack also came on the court.

"Coach, if I'm not mistaken, Tracy has already shot four three-pointers in this game, and he can't play according to the agreement" After seeing the backs of those Celtics players who walked on the court, Green, the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics who had been standing in front of Zhuang Fei, also said with a chuckle, it is definitely not easy to find an opportunity to tease him in front of his own teacher. It's just that to Green's surprise, his mentor doesn't seem to care about it at all.

"To hell with that agreement" Zhuang Fei also smiled and said a foul word after hearing Green's teasing, that agreement was just made by Zhuang Fei in order to let Maddie get rid of his toxic style of play and let him enter the role of the organization's forward, now all this is no longer needed, Maddy's shooting options are now almost one of the best among all the top outside lines in the NBA, in this case, even without Zhuang Fei's constraints, Zhuang Fei knows that he will not go crazy to play the game when he and Anthony Walker were competing for the boss before. In this case, this agreement can indeed be abolished, but just like Zhuang Fei can not repeal the agreement with Carter about the number of dunks in a game. Zhuang Fei hopes that this will bring something else to the player, such as cherishing every opportunity to attack.

Of course, at this time, the game is almost the most tense time for the Celtics, and it is also the time to decide life and death, and at this time, Zhuang Fei and Green's conversation and laughter can also be seen that the two of them have taken the lead in sobering up from this blow, and now what needs to be done is to see what these Boston Celtics players do

"The Boston Celtics players are on the court. Hey? Jermaine O'Neal was replaced by Jackson, and it looks like Coach Z is ready to play a three-point strategy this time, and now the difference between the Celtics and the Lakers is only one point, whether it is three points or two points. It's good to be able to score, so Jjermaine's mid-range is actually a good option, but obviously. Jermaine's 3-of-9 shooting in this game was hard for Coach Z to believe, but Jackson's three-point shooting percentage this season was 42%, which was also a huge threat point.

Magic Johnson looked at the Celtics players who appeared on the court and said with some explanation, the last offense of this game, the Boston Celtics replaced the players Yao Ming, James Posey, Jackson, Maddy and Wade, except for Wade, everyone else is a good shot and some players with big hearts, at this point, even if it is only 0.4 seconds left. The magician was also a little worried. The Celtics are not such an easy team to throw in the towel.

"The executor of this sideline serve is James Posey" He is the best player in the Boston Celtics except for Maddy, and now Maddie has to execute the final offense, it is naturally impossible to serve the sideline ball, and Yao Ming, who has a good pass and a wide vision, also needs to execute the final offense, and James Posey is indeed the best choice in this regard.

"Yao Ming? Maddie or Jackson? It's really a long-awaited choice," Larry Bird said in a somewhat quiet manner at the end

Phil Jackson was very nervous at this time, especially when he saw Yao Ming standing at the free throw line, and he was surrounded by other Boston Celtics players, this is an explosive serve, players will quickly scatter and bounce away after the sideline player serves, this is also the best catch-and-shoot tactic, which is also a huge test for the defender, because it is difficult to judge which direction the player you want to defend will pop into, especially for the players who need to focus on defense or even pinch shots, you need to keep attention at all times.

Of course, although Phil Jackson felt that 0.4 seconds was a long time at this time, he still did not believe that his team would be reversed in this game, and this kind of thing could not happen.

"I'm going to win this year's championship, definitely," Phil Jackson said as he looked at the Boston Celtics bench to the side, his fists clenched at this time, and just as Phil Jackson looked at Zhuang Fei, the referee's whistle blew and the Celtics began to serve from the sideline in five seconds.

Five seconds is just a split second for a lot of people, but for NBA players. There are a lot of things that can be done in this time, and James Posey, who is serving the sideline ball at this time, is thinking about the tactics that his manager has just laid out.

He has always been considered a humil man, and at this time, there is indeed not as much pressure on him as a hun man, and at this time he is also more calm than others, which is why Zhuang Fei chose to let the sideline ball, this is definitely not because Maddie or Yao Ming need to execute the last attack, because the key point of the sideline ball tactics this time is here.

And the same with James Posey. After the referee blew the whistle, Maddie, who was taken care of by the Lakers, quickly pulled 45 degrees from the right side of the free throw line to the right three-point line, and at this time Yao Ming went to the basket, Jackson ran to the right bottom line, and when the three Celtics players who were taken care of by the Lakers scattered, James Posey's pass also came out.

Just when the fans thought that James Posey would turn the ball to Maddy, who had appeared outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side to defend Kobe and Payton, when the basketball passed by Maddy, Maddy, who was originally in front of the basket, turned around and put his back against the two defenders who were marking him. At this time, the basketball almost crossed Maddy's front door, and went directly to the left side, at this time, when everyone looked at the basketball, they found that Wade's position in the next step of the left free throw line was actually empty, and at this time, O'Neal and Malone were all squeezing Yao Ming under the basket to prevent the Celtics from relaying in the air.

And when these people saw Wade, Malone quickly expanded out. It's just that when Malone was halfway through the expansion, Wade didn't pause after receiving the ball and made a standard backward mid-range jumper, at this time, Malone, who was halfway through, could only symbolically seal it, and after the seal, he looked back at the basket like everyone else.

"Brush". There is no ball when it goes in.

At this time, the Magic Johnson who was in the commentary booth just said a sentence that made the audience in front of the TV set all over the United States feel extremely clear after seeing Wade hit the ball.

"It's 0.4 seconds for the champion"

"It's 0.4 seconds for the champion"

Wade's own head was buzzing as he fell to the ground, and the head coach asked him to execute one last offense, something he never thought about. He's a rookie, even though he's doing well in the Finals this year, even though he's now considered by many to be the most underrated rookie of 2003, but in fact, he's still a rookie anyway.

While his ambition is to beat Anthony and James and let everyone know what he's capable of, it's unbelievable to play in that role in his first year, and he may be confident that he can become a superstar, but he never thought he could be a Magician in his first year, but now he did, even if it wasn't true.

"Lore, I completed the lore in the NBA Finals" is different from the Magic's daze, at this time, the Boston Celtics guard has a complete and no trace of gleam in his eyes, and at this time he does not feel that his teammates have surrounded him at all.

"Dwyan, you're so good"

"Dwyan, tomorrow I'll invite you to the most beautiful in Los Angeles"

Unlike the Boston Celtics players who have been celebrating each other crazily, all the Lakers players on the court at this time have lost their strength, O'Neal, who has struggled for the whole game, fell directly to the ground at this time, and Malone next to him was not much better, and Payton and Szczerbiak were all dazed and paralyzed on the ground at this time, even Kobe, who has always been arrogant, his eyes at this time were a little hollow, and what was even more frustrating was that Phil Jackson, who was on the Lakers bench, also bent his knees at this time, and even the Lakers fans in the stands were completely devoid of the cheers just now.

And all this is what it felt like not long ago when the Boston Celtics fell from the Temple of Heaven to Hell, only at this time, they went to real Hell. An apocalypse with no future left.

The home game was picked up by the Boston Celtics, and the next two games are all away, and it is a fool's dream to want the Celtics, who have not lost a home game in the playoffs in the past two years, to win two games, just like Magic Johnson said.

Wade's two points were a two-point that belonged to the championship, although the championship did not come out at this time.

"Coach, we succeeded, our tactics succeeded" Just like the Celtics players being crazy on the court, Green on Zhuang Fei's side also directly hugged Zhuang Fei and shouted frantically, and at this time Zhuang Fei didn't care about his assistant's gaffe at all, because the Celtics substitute players behind Green were even more out of shape.

"It's all over," at this time, Zhuang Fei looked at his old opponent Phil Jackson kneeling on the sidelines, and then looked at the Celtics players on the court again.

Wade put a stop to this series?! (To be continued.) )
