Chapter 519: He's a Thief [5,500 Words Chapter]

"They don't want to give us three points, so we take a gamble and insist on two points if we don't have a chance, first two points and then three points, and then then we press like crazy, and if we don't work, we immediately foul on the spot.

We don't have much time left, we don't have a chance to serve upfront. "Stan. Van Gundy said with a grim look on his face that his previous efforts will be evident in the next round.

"29 seconds, not to the extreme, but without the opportunity to serve in the front court, this may be the most lethal for Orlando.

Los Angeles doesn't have to think about it to know how they will deal with Orlando's offense, and they will definitely not let Orlando choose a three-point shot lightly.

Two points would not have given Orlando a three, but 29 seconds is plenty of time, and once Orlando scores the ball, even a two-point goal would put Los Angeles' free throw to the test. "Steve. Kerr said, looking at the Orlando bench.

On the sidelines of the Lakers bench across the technical table, Phil. Jackson didn't hold the tactical board, but stood directly in the middle of the players and emphasized loudly: "Three points, you must not let them score three points, key Wood. Lin and Changxi. Billups.

Don't make a move, even if you let them score, don't do it, as soon as you grab a rebound or they score, call a timeout. ”

"Phil's voice is so loud, it can be seen that L.A. is hungry for this game."

"Mark, that's for sure, the Angelenos held on for 47 and a half minutes and no one wants to let the victory slip away before the final victory comes." In Steve. As Cole spoke, the referee blew his whistle.

NBA commissioner David Brown sitting on the sidelines watching the game. Stern looked at the court with a smile, and he really wanted to play seven games in this Finals. It's better to play every game like this.

The ratings for Game 1 have already broken the all-time record for ratings for the NBA Finals in North America. This was something he had not expected at all.

And overseas. The first game of this year's finals was also amazingly watched. Stern can imagine how much attention this kind of influence will bring to the NBA, and in a few years the NBA will have to sign live broadcast deals with several TV stations, and if there is more than half the attention of this year every year, he can imagine how big a broadcast contract it will be.

"Dwight, you and Ron go inside, Darko, you serve, I don't have a chance to give Chauncey, no one needs to rush to get the ball. Leave it to me, I'll take care of it.

If the first plan doesn't work, the second plan, if it doesn't work, the third, everyone concentrates, don't make mistakes, we will win the game, believe me! Lin Sen grabbed everyone on the sidelines and explained again.

Miranda. Keer looked at Lin Sen on the field and stood up suddenly: "Orlando must win!" ”

Suddenly got up, and then shouted loudly at the field, this qiē startled several people around him, but Miranda. Kerr didn't seem to be affected at all. Continue to shout: "Orlando must win!" ”

"Miranda is really ......" Steve Murphy. Before Cole's words fell, the entire center of the water house frantically resounded with the cheers of Orlando's victory.

Regardless of whether the person has confidence in the game before or not. I can't help but join in.

Slowly converging into a uniform sound, it is as if a powerful force has been injected into the hearts of everyone who is magical.

Milicic, who was standing on the sidelines and ready to serve, took the ball from the referee, and the sound of the scene stopped.

Kobe Bryant hugged Lin Sen tightly, he knew the importance of this ball, and he would never let Lin Sen play such a long three-point drama not long ago.

Milicic held the ball high and the referee on duty, Javi, gestured to the five-second serve.

Paul. Gasol stood in front of Milicic, waving his hands to block Milicic's serve as much as possible.

Linson ran back, Kobe Bryant still followed closely, and Petrus and Odom and Kobe formed a circle, surrounding Linson Billups inside.

"Orlando can't find a good catch, Orlando doesn't have a timeout!" Mark. Jackson shouted that if Milicic couldn't deliver the ball, then a five-second violation would completely destroy the Magic's hopes of victory, and the atmosphere in the center of the water hut seemed to freeze.

Seeing that the time was approaching five seconds, Lin Sen raised his left index finger as he ran, and Milicic immediately understood Lin Sen's thoughts.

Howard, who was on the inside, made a run straight to the baseline, while Artest also started.

Milicic threw the ball at Linson's side with both hands. Gasol immediately moved to the left, and it was at this point that Milicic immediately threw the ball inside.

Bang!

Radmanovich, who was defending Artest, was blocked by Howard, and although he couldn't block it completely, it delayed Radmanovic's pursuit.

"Darko passed the ball to Ron and it looked like it was a chance! Ron to execute the last shot? "Steve. Cole said with confusion.

Radmanovic frantically pounced on Artest, and Bryant did not let his guard down on Linson because of Artest's catch.

After serving, Milicic immediately walked into the court, and Billups ran to Kobe's side.

"Ron didn't shoot himself, Radmanovic had too much of a height advantage, and Ron wasn't a fast gunner like Wood, so he missed his best chance!" Steve. Cole said.

Time passed quickly, Artest was not in a hurry, and watched Radmanovic make a shooting move with both hands on the ball.

Rademanovic immediately jumped up when he saw Artest's movements, and Artest immediately collected the ball and passed through Rademanovic in its entirety.

"Don't take it lightly!" Phil on the sidelines. Jackson shouted at the field.

At the moment Paul. Gasol has shrunk to the inside and Artest isn't fast, which makes him a big player in Paul. Gasol couldn't face the basket directly when he shrank inside.

According to the arrangement just now, if you can get two points quickly, then you are welcome.

But at this moment Paul. Gasol's defense was too fast, and just then Milicic, who served out of bounds, ran to the three-point line.

Billups used Milicic's body to temporarily shake off Petrus, and the ball in Artest's hand flew towards Billups like a cannonball.

"Chance, absolute chance. Everyone expected Wood to take on the key shot. This time Chauncey became the main character. MR…… SHOT! "Mark. Jackson shouted.

All of a sudden, the memories of fans in front of the TV seem to be pulled back to the time when Billups was in the Detroit Pistons, the key Mr. Billups who was not too tall and didn't look physically strong enough, and was always underestimated.

Kobe Bryant didn't expect Linson to take the last attack but handed it to Billups, who looked at the basket and threw the ball.

Lin Sen took advantage of Kobe's distraction, ran to the left, and then changed direction to the right and killed Kobe Bryant directly.

"Chauncey's chance, the ball flew to the basket, and the basket was squeezed into a heap!" Mark. Jackson's eyes were fixed on the ball flying towards the basket.

Billups left Detroit, which brought him glory and rebirth to Orlando this season on a five-year, 60 million contract, and although he walked freely, he still felt guilty in the face of Pistons fans.

Before coming to the Magic, he had considered his position, and with the Magic he didn't have a place in the Pistons. Tactical importance, while still high, is only the second most important person in the team.

The ball is also more in the hands of Lin Sen, and he has given up a lot of things in the Magic.

After playing a full 82 games in the regular season, he averaged a recent low of 16.5 points per game, but his assists did not decrease due to less ball handling, averaging 6.9 assists per game.

However, he is always the second choice when it matters for the team, and tonight was particularly crucial for Orlando.

Looking at the ball flying towards the basket, Billups was full of confidence.

Phil. Jackson was annoyed, Paul. Gasol's early departure gave the Magic a chance.

Lin Sen looked at the curvature of the ball and estimated that if the ball didn't go in, it might bounce to that side.

Then Lin Sen quickly breathed a sigh of relief. Under Linsen's gaze, in the reluctant eyes of the Lakers, the ball plunged into the basket.

"Chauncey, Chauncey. MR…… SHOT! Chauncey saved Orlando, this time it's not Wood, this time Chauncey! The whole effort in Los Angeles was equalized! "Mark. Jackson shouted.

The moment the ball went into the basket, the small number of Lakers fans in front of the TV and in the stadium were muted at once.

Ahead of the normal they were equalized at the last moment, and they saw the suspense in their hands.

Steve. Kerr looked at Billups, who was excited to celebrate with his teammates, and said with a smile: "Even if there are 18 seconds left for Los Angeles, 18 seconds is not a lot of pressure for them, at least they can get a tie and go into overtime without scoring at the moment."

But overtime is not the best option for Los Angeles, and their lineup is too weak compared to Orlando! ”

"Chaunse, you did it, well done!" Linson ran towards Billups.

Billups clenched his fist hard, and Artest ran towards Billups.

These two participants who used to be in the palace of Auburn Hills have long forgotten about the past at this moment: "I love you, I love you!" Here's my assist! It's mine! ”

Stan. Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief that his first choice was not a three-pointer, even if he hoped it would be Linson, but he stressed that if there is a particularly good three-point opportunity, he should not miss it.

At the moment when Billups made a move, he was also worried, but at this moment Van Gundy was excited and turned to his brother Jeff. Van Gundy slammed his fist.

Compared to Orlando's jubilation, the Lakers, who are still holding on to the tie at the moment, are like a loser.

Kobe Bryant turned his head to look at the Magic bench and walked to the sidelines: "The game is not over yet. ”

A cold sentence, I didn't say more than half a word.

"No one could have imagined that Wood, who was the core of the team in such a crucial attack, did not touch the ball even once.

But even if Wood didn't touch the ball, he was the hero of this offense, and he put too much pressure on the Lakers.

With 18 seconds to play, Los Angeles had plenty of time to complete the last and most crucial attack, and if they didn't score, the game could well go into overtime. ”

"Yes, I guess Los Angeles will control the time and won't leave Orlando too much time." Mark. Jackson nodded.

"Yes, as long as it's not three seconds away, then Orlando basically won't have a chance. They don't have a chance to serve in front of them. "Steve. Cole continued.

The coaches on both sides quickly arranged. For the Magic, defense became especially important this time.

If you want to control Kobe, it is not very likely that you will not be able to catch the ball. And Kobe Bryant is most likely to complete this last offense, the other is Fisher.

And Paul. Gasol also couldn't ignore that it was Paul a moment ago. Gasol hit a key shot to help the Lakers turn the score to 113-110.

"Defend, don't foul lightly! Remember not to foul lightly! "Stan. Van Gundy also emphasized in the end.

The joy of the equaliser was diluted a lot at the moment, and everyone was waiting for the final moment.

For Magic fans, defending this ball and going into overtime is the best option.

Lin Sen is also ready to play overtime, and at the moment he is physically fit enough to play overtime, on the contrary, the Lakers' players may have physical problems.

Paul standing on the sidelines. Gasol sent the ball to Odom. And Odom and Kobe Bryant made a wrong hand-to-hand pass.

When Kobe Bryant received the ball, Artest appeared in front of Kobe for the first time.

As everyone expected, Bryant didn't rush to attack.

Holding the ball in both hands and waiting for the time, seeing that the time was about to enter the last ten seconds, Kobe, who was still three steps away from the three-point line, shook his arm.

Artest, who stretched out his hand, immediately retracted his hands so as not to be deceived by Kobe Bryant into a foul.

With continuous crotching and the center of gravity of his body forward, Kobe Bryant plunged his head directly into Artest's arms, which made Artest's defense a little trapped.

It was at this time that Paul. Gasol raises the cover. And Radmanovic also covered for Fisher.

Linson didn't go too far from Fisher and rounded Radmanovic to chase after him.

However, Kobe Bryant was unusual, and did not use cover, but directly changed direction from the other side and accelerated. And Artest was stunned for a moment.

He wanted to get out of the way of Paul. Gasol stepped up to the defense, but Kobe Bryant left from the other side.

"Bryant, Bryant, Bryant found his chance!" Steve. Cole shouted.

It was too late for Linson to pounce, and Bryant took a step inside the three-point line to shoot the ball against Artest, who had pounced again.

"Don't enter, don't enter!" Countless Magic fans shouted in their hearts.

When the ball went over the basket, all Magic fans were half chilled.

"Unexpectedly, Bryant, Bryant's key lethal shot! 115:113, Los Angeles, 0.9 seconds left! "Mark. Jackson shouted.

"Darko!"

Lin Sen's voice drilled into the basket, and Lin Sen, who was originally defending Fisher, ran frantically to the front court at this moment.

"Defend, defend!" Phil. Jackson shouted.

Milicic reacted immediately, watched the ball pass through the Nets, took the ball with both hands, and threw the ball like a shot put before Odom could react.

"Wood, unguarded, 0.9 seconds left!

God, all the people in Los Angeles ignored Wood! The ball flew like a cannonball to the frontcourt, Wood's chance, Orlando's last chance! "Steve. Cole had just reacted and immediately shouted loudly.

And the fans in front of the TV didn't know what was going on at all, one second the camera was still aimed at Kobe Bryant, who completed the quasi-lore, and the next second Lin Sen appeared in the shot.

0.9 seconds, such a short time can hardly give Lin Sen much feedback.

Although Milicic's pass was not small, it was still not too big, and he was also worried that Linsen would not receive the ball and fly directly out of the bottom line.

Lin Sen was completely unguarded and looked at the ball flying over, estimating where the ball would land, this was the last chance for the Magic.

If you want to play overtime or lose directly at home, just look at 0.9 seconds.

The on-site technical desk staff stared at the screen, waiting for the ball to reach the watch in Lin Sen's hand.

Under 0.9 seconds, Lin Sen could only catch the ball and shoot, and there was no time to adjust.

"The ball has fallen, and Wood is some distance from the basket! How Wood chooses! "Mark. Jackson shouted.

Everyone looked at Linson, and everyone in the Lakers ran madly to the backcourt.

If Linson waits for the ball to land under the basket and is 100% sure to be sent to the basket, then the Lakers players are already up and Linson needs to make a choice.

Looking at the falling ball, Lin Sen made a decision.

The ball landed on the left side of the three-point line, and Linson turned to meet the falling ball.

The timer above the rebound immediately went frantically, and it looked like it was going to a bright red 0 for 0.9 seconds.

Miranda. Ke'er's heart was pinched, and he hoped that Lin Sen could perform a miracle.

"Be sure to get in! A miracle will come! ”

"Wood, Wood!"

"If you can't enter, you won't enter!"

All those who tuned in to this game turned their attention to Lin Sen.

A rapid friction sound, Lin Sen's left foot was the axis, and the whole person turned around while receiving the ball, and jumped up directly.

The time of 0.9 seconds did not give Lin Sen much time to think about it, and he could only choose to make a shot as much as possible.

Even 0.01 seconds late was not enough, and he threw the ball out almost before his hand was raised to the familiar position of the shot.

"An unconventional half-turn three-point shot, Wood's last choice!" With the moment Lin Sen made a move, the red light of the whole audience lit up.

The ball also flew right away from Lin Sen's palm, and it looked like it was at the same moment.

Looking at the ball flying towards the basket, Lin Sen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and flew over to the bright red rebounds around him.

"At about the same time, the referee definitely needs to rely on super slow replays." In Mark. As Jackson spoke, the ball went headlong into the basket, and the center of the water hut roared wildly.

Jarvi immediately ran to the technical table and put on his headphones, while the other two assistant referees stood aside.

The live TV footage replayed Lin Sen's shot just now, and the red light turned on almost the moment the ball left his hand.

A 10x slowdown was obviously not enough to tell if Wood's shot was overtime, and the Lakers players invalidated the goal after signaling Wood to run out of time.

But what I'm going to say is that they were too careless, and that's what gave Wood this chance. "Steve. Cole said.

Lin Sen was also waiting, looking at the big screen above the arena like everyone else.

There is a 1,000x slowdown, and the timer is 0.003 seconds when there is barely a centimeter of space at the moment the ball leaves the hand.

Then the multi-angle replay showed that the time was not up when the ball left Linson's palm.

“YES!”

Lin Sen clenched his fists fiercely, and the whole person lay directly on the floor!

"Wood, Wood, Wood! Wood did it, and in 0.9 seconds, Orlando countered Los Angeles!

The Angelenos paid for their carelessness, they wasted Bryant's stunner, and it was Orlando's moment.

Orlando will bring this 2:0 to Los Angeles, which faces the most dangerous moment! ”

"Wood, God wears Orlando home number one tonight! Wood, Wood is God! "Steve. Cole shouted.

Miranda on the sidelines. Ke'er jumped up excitedly, walked directly from the audience to the field, and pounced directly on Lin Sen.

The reporter in the media area excitedly raised his camera, but Miranda. Ke'er stopped and stood in front of Lin Sen.

And Lindsay. Luo Han and the others walked onto the field with the child in their arms, and Lin Sen picked up Anne surrounded by teammates and screaming.

Ignoring the fact that he was already sweating profusely, he kissed Anne twice.

Anne waved her little hand and grinned. (To be continued......)
