Chapter 556: A Historic Victory
The Clippers are up to 5 points ahead of the Suns!
There was less than a minute left.
The Suns are finishing.
After Zhong Yu's 2+1 dunk, the whole court fell into a sad atmosphere, and all the fans, the madness just now turned into the current calm.
"Well done!" Negro excitedly high-fived all the players, and at this time, there was not much he could explain but to celebrate with everyone in the most simple and crude way.
There's only one minute left!
The Clippers still have a lead by so many points, and as long as they can hold on, they can win and break through the first round for the first time in many years. Breaking through the first round is really nothing to other teams, especially teams like the Lakers next door.
But the Clippers are different.
It's a team with a lot of troubles, and it's a team that lacks a glorious history and details.
Time is running out, and the Suns are on offense!
"Stop! Defend this ball! Zhong Yu stood at the front of the defensive formation, his right hand raised high, and his body bent slightly.
Nash began to break through, but he couldn't get in, and just at this time, the inside line was successful, asking for the ball from Nash, and Nash was going to pass the basketball in.
But at this time, Zhong Yu suddenly rushed over, and Nash could only put away the basketball in an instant, and then broke through again, this time, finally passed the basketball to Xiao Si.
Xiao Si turned around and made a jumper. It's a pity that the basketball didn't have the same crosshairs as just now, and it bounced out.
"Drink!"
At this moment, Xiao Si screamed, the whole person jumped up again, and grabbed the basketball in the sky. Otherwise, you will become a sinner of the Suns.
At the moment, he planned to hold the ball and re-attack, but several guys from the Clippers began to defend Xiao Si to the death, and they didn't give Xiao Si a chance to foul.
So, after Xiao Si turned around a few times, he finally found an opportunity. Layup hit.
The audience at the scene instantly cheered again!
Thankfully, at times like these. They still scored.
But after the time was delayed like this. With only 35 seconds left, the Clippers served, and this time, Jongwook himself directly possessed the ball through the half.
Zhong Yu controlled the ball for half the court, slowly, perhaps because of a leg injury, or completely because he wanted to delay time. But either way, the Suns are on the passive side right now. The Clippers did this for the final victory.
"Defend this ball!" Nash was shouting fiercely. And Zhong Yu came to a step outside the three-point line, Hill and Richardson, the two of them stuck up to it, and Nash was about to attack Zhong Yu from behind!
At this time, they can't care about anything else, all they want is to prevent Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu controlled the ball to the right, and then to the left, after two consecutive changes of direction, Nash's right hand suddenly rushed up like a poisonous snake, Zhong Yu could only put away the basketball instantly, because if he didn't stop, the only ending would be to be steal by Nash.
Put away the basketball and there are 4 seconds left in the offensive time!
The three of them were wrapped at the same time, and Zhong Yu at this time was unable to pass the ball.
There are only 15 seconds left.
At that moment, Zhong Yu suddenly jumped, one step outside the three-point line, and jumped when three people surrounded him. Holding the basketball in both hands, it rose into the sky, and several people were frantically chasing the basketball, but Zhong Yu didn't care.
Although his two consecutive changes of direction just now, coupled with this jump, made his right leg hurt so much, Zhong Yu couldn't control it.
All he can do now is jump and shoot!
Zhong Yu's body leaned back, but Hill's hand was blocked up like a shadow, Zhong Yu had no choice but to fold, and after folding his hands, he blocked the cover of the two people, and then threw the basketball out! …,
After folding, Hill and Richardson couldn't continue to block Zhong Yu, so they could only watch the basketball cross their line of sight and fly out into the distance.
At this moment, the whole world seems to stand still in time.
No one spoke at the scene.
All that left was to look at the ball.
And Zhong Yu had just barely thrown the basketball out with all his strength, and his right leg fell to the ground, and the gap between them was extremely short and short, just a little bit, and he became a violator.
Now, the basketball is out of the hands, and everything that is left to God can only decide.
The basketball didn't know that the people who were in a hurry, and it glided slowly until it smashed on the rebound, and then bounced back!
"Huh!" The basketball was dragged into the net, and at this moment, the red light that represented the end of the 24-second offensive time lit up!
Three-point hit! At this most critical moment, Zhong Yu hit a three-point shot.
The score became ...... The Clippers lead by 6 points!
The Suns immediately called a timeout......
Nash's face was full of a numbness of disbelief, Zhong Yu really brought them too much humiliation, and today, in fact, is nothing.
There was a moment of silence for the fans at the scene.
But I don't know if behind this quietness, will it be a heart-to-heart, deep-rooted disappointment?
Zhong Yu threw the ball and fell to the ground, at this moment, under the help of his teammates, he slowly got up, and when he walked off the bench, he was already limping uncontrollably.
"What's wrong with Jongwook?" Zhongyu fans all over the world, at this moment, a heart is raised again.
They saw the limping Zhong Yu, and it seemed that Zhong Yu had never been so embarrassed.
When did his No. 5 back, like now, sway, stumble, as if he was unsteady on his feet?
Think about how much he has brought to this team and all the fans.
Thinking of this, some of Zhong Yu's fans couldn't help but feel a little sour in their hearts - Zhong Yu had done too much.
And he should be tired now.
No matter how strong the iron man is, there will always be a day of fatigue.
But he has earned the utmost admiration and respect from all Clippers fans.
After the timeout, the Suns quickly grabbed a ball, and this ball, Nash shot very accurately, threw the basketball into the basket, and hit a three-point shot...... The score seems to have become a bit suspenseful again, because of three points, the Suns complete a counterattack, and it is possible to survive and tie the score!
After all, there are still 6 seconds left in the clock.
But at the end of the timeout, after the Clippers served, the basketball came to Zhong Yu's hands, and the guy grabbed the basketball and didn't move!
The Suns had no choice but to foul him quickly.
Jongwook stood at the free throw line, carrying everything expected from the Clippers, hitting two free throws to turn the score into ...... The Suns were five points apart, missed a shot in the last minute, and finally lost the game at home!
As a result, the Clippers defeated the Suns on the road with a total score of 4-2 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs!
This is the first honor the Clippers have won after many years, and they finally stood on the stage of the Western Conference semifinals again.
Jongwook is embraced by his teammates, and he enjoys the cheers of all his people like a king.
But Zhong Yu in the crowd, feeling this, the prosperity that should have belonged to him, his nose was sour and heavy, as if he was poured in by old vinegar-
They finally made it to the second round of the playoffs.
His efforts did not fail...... It's just that he can't go on with his teammates!
This season, Zhong Yu has done too much-
With last year's Western Conference Fish Belly bottom team, also lost Chris. Carman, Eric. Gordon made the playoffs and finished fourth in the West!
With a team that lacked major generals and no Griffin and Davis, it hit the first round of the playoffs and succeeded! …,
These things, sometimes, make people feel unbelievable even when they think about it.
However, Jongwook did it! He carried the high expectations of his fans, with the doubts of many people, and then, he led such a Clippers team to fight their way out of the encirclement and get their own glory.
All the players cheered, Negro smiled from ear to ear, and on the Suns' side, Nash sat on a stool, took one last look at the Clippers players who were celebrating, and reluctantly walked into the narrow and dark tunnel of players.
He lost to Jongwook again.
And Zhong Yu, in the midst of everyone's cheers, looked up, and the loss in his heart was unavoidable - in the first season, they beat the Spurs, and the Hornets reached the Western Conference Finals. In their second season, their Hornets won the championship by beating the Magic in the Finals.
And this season, he can only say goodbye here, and sink into the sand.
He couldn't go on.
The sourness and heaviness on the tip of his nose were difficult to suppress, and Zhong Yu hurriedly raised his head, he didn't want the whole world to see his tears. And, next season, he'll be back!
Today, at the post-match press conference, Zhong Yu appeared.
The Suns' press conference was also on the other side, and Nash sat there with a depressed look and a suit, his voice choked up several times when he talked about the journey to the playoffs this season.
His team of beautiful and lovely twin daughters were also wiping tears from their father's side at this time.
This scene made those who saw it sad.
But this is the sports arena, where the king wins and loses, and the rise of one side always means the decline of the other.
The Suns have fallen, and the Clippers have risen.
However, Zhong Yu sighed slightly in his heart, although the Clippers won, he couldn't continue.
The reporters immediately asked Zhong Yu if he was excited about this victory.
Zhong Yu shook his head lightly and said, "This is just a game in my career, everything in the past has to be let go...... Let's look forward. (To be continued) RQ
