Chapter 32: Is the King Returning, You?
In the last two minutes of the first quarter and the entire second and third quarters, Wang Nett did not play. He was a little surprised by the strict control of American basketball, and thought that he would say that it was okay, and at most he could play again by making an X-movie, after all, there would be absolutely no hard injuries. But the team had to ask him to do another MRI to check for soft tissue damage. Wang Naite felt a lot of regret, he thought: "This time it seems to be out of play, the assist is only one time away, if you can't play, wouldn't it be a mistake to steal chickens and rice?" ”
Fortunately, there were few patients in the nearby hospital, and Wang Nett completed the examination quickly. Then, at his strong request, he returned to the game again.
At this moment, it is the last five minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Stormtroopers were originally bitter because of Wang Nett's injury, and after Thomas came off the bench, they opened the gap to more than 25 points at the beginning of the second quarter, and even approached 30 points.
But by half-time, the difference had narrowed to around 10 points. Because, Coach Brown really played! He replaced Li, who had lost his physical strength because he rushed too hard, but due to the difference in height and physical fitness, he could only play a role in holding back the three-point point, although the hit rate was just like the panda eyes that felt poor today.
Seeing that the entire Stormtroopers didn't feel good about the three-point shooting tonight, the opposite side also strengthened the strategy of 2-3 joint defense to shrink the inside. On the defensive end, the stormtroopers, whose height was even more degraded, were forced to rush inside several times. In this way, when both offensive and defensive ends are deflated, the score difference gradually narrows.
In the third quarter, Coach Brown finally stopped being reckless, and alternated the court with Daqian Lee and fat center James, but both of them had their own problems, the former had a bit of ups and downs in physical strength and emotions, and the latter was a simple dish, except for a fat body that could resist resistance on the inside. This led to the direct eradication of the difference between the two teams at the end of the third quarter. 81-81。
In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, Lee, who had regained his strength, once again played an impact advantage, and the two sides alternated leads. There are 4min47s left until the end of the race, 88-89.
The stormtroopers trailed by one point on their offensive turn.
Wang Nett stood up and took off his coat.
The audience cheered. ESPN also immediately shifted the camera to the Stormtrooper bench.
Erin spoke first: "Look, everyone, the hero of our stormtroopers, the champion Lang Bennett, is back!" ”
O'Neal observed for a while, and said with a solemn face: "Looking at Bennett's appearance in the first quarter, he should have been injured a lot, but he obviously can't bear the dilemma the team is in now, after all, the game is almost spent when he is there, and now he may still lose!" I'm thinking, doesn't he want to play with an injury now? ”
Barkley sighed inwardly, yes, this bad guy has to be himself, and then, he smiled, and said, "Guys, I don't know if you remember the Celtic Pierce's so-called 'return of the king'?" Could it be that Zhuang Yuanlang is playing the same trick this time? ”
This time, no one paid attention to him.
No matter what ESPN discussed, Wang Nett stepped onto the court without hesitation. Not only for the team, but also for the daily task of assisting!
He replaced the panda eye, because he didn't adapt to the opponent's tough defense for a whole game, he didn't have a good hand today, 1 of 7 three-pointers, and many missed positions not only hurt his morale, but also gave the opposite side a chance to counterattack.
In this round, Thomas controlled the ball and advanced, he relied on his dexterity and agility in exchange for height, and with a lunge, he accelerated past the opponent's point guard Kanter from the right side, and before the Mad Ants substitute small forward Qiao Ye Johnson made up the defense, he made another disguise, killed the empty right horn, and made a decisive jump shot.
Overtake again!
"Yo, this little one is really fast." Wang Nette in the bottom right corner wanted to beckon for the ball, but he still gave up knowing his true three-point level, and just admired it in surprise.
Next round. The opposite side still doesn't dare to barely control the ball in front of Wang Nett, after all, even in the NBA, it is difficult to have a perverted beast who can assist a double in one quarter, okay? Even if he might be injured, who would dare to touch that moldy head?
In this way, the Mad Ants turned into a substitute Johnson who was replaced by Thomas to control the ball, he bullied Thomas to be short, directly sideways to protect the ball, pressed him into the three-point line, and then, pulled up and shot. The two points were effective and the Ants took the lead again.
In the next round, Thomas once again easily passed Kante, faced Johnson, who was more active in defending, and passed directly to Wang Nett, who was empty on the right baseline.
Wang Nate deliberately paused, waiting for Johnson to step forward, raised his hand, and flew again, and then, he suddenly accelerated to pass the opponent in one step, and threw directly before the three-second zone before the arrival of the center Frank on the inside. The ball goes in. Wang Nett scored his first goal and his 19th point.
In the offensive round of the Mad Ants, the opposite junior Johnson bullied Thomas to the corner again, but he had an accident when he pulled up and shot. He was unguarded by Wang Net, who had never seen Wang Nett stealing, and was approached by Wang Net, who had no skills but was tall and long-armed, and knocked down the ball that had not yet been shot, and fell in front of Brother Qiang, who was stunned. But he was not prepared to catch the ball, and Frank, the center of the Ants next to him, was alert to pick up the ball and then scored an easy layup. 92-93!
Wang Nett was a little confused, should my ball be considered a steal or a block?
Coach Brown was visibly a little annoyed, shouting from the sidelines, "Cheer up, hold on!" ”
Stormtroopers' offense.
Wang Nette took the initiative to get the ball, after all, he still wanted to brush an assist.
The opposing side defends together. Kim arranged a 1-3-1 standing. Wongnett didn't have much pressure in the face of Johnson's defense, and he watched his position. Then, he no longer understood the ball, he also saw the numerical advantage of his own side near the free throw line, so he passed the ball to Lee in front of the free throw line, and Lee jumped to pass to King on his right side before Johnson and Allen joined in, Kim accelerated, but did not pass Allen, who was defending himself, and had to stop the ball and pass back to Wang Nett outside the three-point line.
Wang Nett repeated the old trick, a raised hand, this time, Johnson, who couldn't make up for the defense, did not jump, but Wang Nett saw that he was not on a stable footing, suddenly accelerated, easily passed the opponent, and once again faced the center Frank who guarded the basket and Joshua in front of the defense, he hesitated slightly, did not force it, but attracted the bag and transferred the ball to the left 45 ° near the three-point line.
Thomas, who popped up from inside the three-point line and easily got the open spot, did not hesitate to shoot a three-point shot! The ball goes in.
Wang Nett rushed forward to celebrate, hey, this little man, there are two hits. What's even more gratifying is that it was not self-defeating and successfully completed today's assist task.
