147 Four-point lore
At the Houston Owls, all the fans were standing and watching the game. Even though it was timeout, they still didn't sit down, the game was too intense and tense for them to sit still.
Elena stood in the crowd, her heart pounding like a deer. It's a crucial game, and it's a crucial game, and there are players who are crucial for her. She certainly hopes that Team Rocket will win and Moon Hao will win.
And in the luxurious villa in Houston, Anne held her hands clenched to her chest, her palms covered with sweat. Eyes fixed on the huge screen TV. Today's game looks like the Rockets are hanging, and in the last 24 seconds, they have to score 3 points to tie it, which is very difficult.
At this time, the scene was given to Parsons, Harden, Da Yao and Beverley. These are all players who have hit three points in this game.
And the final camera was fixed on Wen Hao's face for a long time, he felt hot in the fourth quarter, making three three-pointers, and the Rockets were likely to let him execute the last shot.
McHale told the Rockets players at this time: "There is only one last offense left, and we have to be confident that we can beat them." We're the best. ”
And Jeremy Lin picked up the tactical board and laid out the tactics for the Rockets players: "Harden and Wen Hao both stayed at the free throw line and covered me to go out to catch the ball, and the Thunder team will definitely come over to chase me, at this time, everyone will cover for Wen Hao and let Wen Hao go out to catch the ball." Wen Hao did not hesitate to shoot three points whenever he had the opportunity. At the same time, the inside twin towers go to grab rebounds, and once they grab rebounds, they quickly throw them to the empty space outside the three-point line, and then shoot three points. ”
As soon as Harden saw that he had nothing to do with this last shot, he was a little reluctant in his heart. But he didn't say anything, and Jeremy Lin's tactics were still desirable. And he is not as unhappy with Jeremy Lin as he is with Wen Hao, so he still plans to follow tactics, for the sake of victory, for the first place in the west.
Soon, the timeout was up and the Rockets came on. The moment Wen Hao stood on the court, there was no nervousness in his heart, but his blood was boiling. He just likes to fight, especially like this kind of battle, to the last moment, no matter how good or low, it makes people's blood boil.
The Rockets served in the frontcourt, Harden and Wen Hao were at the free throw line at the same time, covering for Jeremy Lin, and the Thunder knew that it was not good when they saw this, so they hurriedly chased Jeremy Lin and ran out.
But at this moment, Wen Hao suddenly ran outside the three-point line, and Wei Shao, who was behind, saw that Wen Hao was going to catch the ball, and he shouted "don't think" in his heart, and wanted to chase Wen Hao. But at this time, Harden suddenly turned his body to the side and blocked Wei Shao's body, no matter how ** Wei Shao's body was, he couldn't directly knock Harden out, and could only bypass Harden to chase Wen Hao.
But at this time, Wen Hao had already got the ball, took a little dribble and made adjustments, and suddenly shot outside the three-point line.
Quiet――
There was silence in the entire Thunder's home arena. The eyes of nearly 20,000 people are focused on the orange-red basketball, which is silent, slowly passing through the air, like a silent oil painting.
Nearly 20,000 hearts at the scene, countless hearts in front of the TV, were tightly dropped by the orange-red basketball and flew to the basket with it.
The closer they got to the basket, the heavier the hearts of the Thunder fans became, and the hearts of the Rockets fans flew instead.
However, with a "bang", it instantly knocked down the hearts of Rocket fans. The basketball smashes on the back edge of the basket and bounces out. The fans at the scene all "exhaled" a sigh of relief. And the hearts of Rocket fans fell in an instant.
But this time is not over, there are still more than 8 seconds left, on the inside, Da Yao and the monster are fighting hard for rebounds, while the other players of the Rockets are waiting on the outside to catch the ball for a second offense.
The power of the twin towers was naturally terrifying, and although they were not in a good position, they still spotted the ball and pulled it out. And Wen Hao knew that the ball would not be scored the moment he shot, so he waited around for an opportunity to grab the rebound. It just so happened that Da Yao pointed out the rebound at this time, and Wen Hao saw the rebound flying towards him, and reached out to pick it up.
But at this time, Wei Shao had already crossed his eyebrows and flew over angrily. Wen Hao has been in the limelight in front of him enough today, and he will never allow Wen Hao to be in the limelight in front of him again. His ** physical fitness provided him with ** speed, and he pounced in front of Wen Hao in an instant, so that even if Wen Hao got the ball, he couldn't handle it.
At this critical moment, Wen Hao suddenly had an idea, and instead of reaching out to catch the ball, he used his volleyball action with his surname. When the ball flew in, he hit it directly to Harden outside the three-point line on the left.
Harden had just run to that position, and he only had half a second to be available. But just like that, half a second, Harden didn't even have time to adjust his movements, and threw the ball backwards.
Although Ibaka had already chased after him, because Harden had already made an early shot and it was a step-back jumper, Ibaka couldn't block it, and could only watch the basketball pass between his fingers. And he jumped too high and rushed too hard, couldn't contain himself, and threw Harden to the ground.
"Tick-" The referee's whistle slashed through Ibaka's throat like a sharp blade, choking his breath.
"Damn it!" Ibaka cursed. It turned out to be a three-point foul. If Harden makes three free throws to send the game to overtime, and the Thunder loses in overtime, he's a sinner for the ages.
But as soon as Ibaka's voice fell, there was a sudden "swish" behind him.
At this moment, Ibaka felt the pain of being stabbed in the heart by a sharp knife, and he turned his head in disbelief. But his head turned with great difficulty, and even in a trance he could hear the "creaking" of the wooden door that had fallen into disrepair.
Finally, Ibaka turned her head and saw a basketball falling from the net. This scene made Ibaka dizzy, and his consciousness seemed to be a little blurry for a moment, and the feeling of his brain being emptied spontaneously appeared.
In the same situation as Ibaka, all the fans in the stadium had this feeling, one second they were still in heaven, the next second they were dragged down to hell, the ups and downs of life came too fast, it was too exciting.
In the midst of this stimulus, they all stood there silently, unresponsive, unsounding.
"Wow-"
The Rockets' breakout area instantly boiled, the opposite of the reaction of the fans in the stadium. Beverly jumped up and screamed like a child, and McHale jerked to his feet and shook his fist hard. The coach, who has seen a lot of big scenes and won championships as a player, couldn't contain his excitement at all.
The Rockets players on the court ran to Harden and high-fived him.
"Score four! Harden hit a three-pointer and made Ibaka foul and scored four points! As a commentator, he shouldn't have been so excited, but Yang Jian couldn't hold back his excitement at this time, and screamed.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that just now, before Harden hit a three-pointer, who would have thought that Harden would be a four-pointer?! As long as he hit the free throw, the Rockets took the lead. With only three seconds left for the Thunder, it will be extremely difficult to score a goal. Director Zhang said.
"Harden is shooting 87.5 percent from the free-throw line this season, and he's likely to hit a lot of free throws. It would be a shame for the Thunder to lose because of this. Yang Jian calmed down a little and said.
Harden also calmed down at this time and stood on the free throw line. Wen Hao said to the Rockets players on the court: "Now that the Thunder team has no timeout, whether Harden can hit free throws or not, we will immediately take full-court pressing to make them unable to serve the ball." In case they send the ball, there has to be someone who keeps an eye on the ball carrier and doesn't let him dribble to the front court easily. And then it's just about not fouling. ”
The Rockets players have nothing to disagree with.
Harden stepped up to the free-throw line, took a deep breath, then adjusted twice, slapped the ball twice, and then hit the free throw steadily. And when the ball fell into the net, all the Rockets players immediately took a full-court tight defense against the Thunder players. When Coach Brooks of the Thunder saw this, he was shocked, knowing that terror was going to be a big deal.
But fortunately, before the time was up five seconds, they sent the ball out, and after Seflosha received the ball, he passed it directly to Wei Shao. Wei Shao dribbled to the frontcourt, rushed past the defense of the two, and finally crossed the halfway line. But at this time, there were already Da Yao and Warcraft waiting for him on the three-point line, and he couldn't move forward, so he could only jump up and shoot three points. But before he could jump, Wen Hao had already jumped up in front of him, and one hand was already pressed on the ball.
Wei Shao had no choice but to pass the ball to Durant on the right side. Durant was near the halfway line and used a standard shooting stance, and the basketball shot to the basket like a cannonball, hitting a long-range three-pointer with a "bang".
But it's a pity that before Durant made a move, the red light was already on, which can be seen with the naked eye, and there is no need to play it back at all.
The Rockets players were shocked into a cold sweat. Wen Hao secretly said in his heart: It's so dangerous, if you are one second faster, Team Rocket will be killed. Durant really isn't simple.
And when it was determined that Durant's stunner was invalid, all the Rockets players breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around to celebrate.
The Thunder players hung their heads and walked briskly into the tunnel of players.
"It's a shame that Durant is one step away from the final shot, and we're one step away from the Western Conference championship, which is a real shame." The old wolf finally began to explain at this time.
"yes, just one step away. It was Durant's younger brother, Harden, who held us back from the Western Conference championship. "If it weren't for him, we'd be the champions of the West." ”
The old wolf thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's not just him. ”
"Oh? Who else can stop us with rockets? ”
"Of course, that No. 5, Chinese, Wen Hao! If it weren't for his four consecutive three-pointers and one two-pointer in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 consecutive points and sounding the horn of the Rockets' offense, the Rockets would not have been able to get up at all. And in the final moments, it was he who assisted Harden to score a four-point to kill us. This Chinese should not be underestimated! (To be continued.) )
