Chapter 271: Wheat Dry Pulling
At the end of the break, the starters from both sides took to the court again to kick off the fourth quarter, which decided the victory.
The Wizards came up to serve first, and after the fourth quarter came up, Sanders replaced the starting center Bradge, Li Kaiming returned to the No. 4 position again, and after going to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming stepped forward to block Hinrich, who dribbled to get rid of Mike Bibby's defense and faced Horford.
Hinrich's breakthrough relied almost entirely on the rhythm, so it was difficult for him to break through Horford, so when Li Kaiming bounced out to the outside of the three-point line, he looked back at the moon and passed the ball to Li Kaiming on the outside.
Li Kaiming received the ball and faced Mike Bibi, and directly got off the ball and rushed in, the physical fitness of the two sides was very different, and Mike Bibi was simply a primary school student to him.
When it was pushed to the free throw line, the rest of the Hawks couldn't stand it anymore and came over to wrap it up, Li Kaiming directly pulled up the mid-range shot on the spot, and Mike Bibby could only reach his elbow when he jumped with all his strength, which could not affect his shooting at all.
88 to 86!
On the commentary bench, Conrad Barron, a white commentator with curly blond hair, said to his companion sitting next to him, "After the Wizards took that strange lineup in the second quarter, they scored more points in a single quarter than the Hawks in two consecutive quarters, and now they are directly ahead of the score." ”
Mills Byron, the black commentator next to him, didn't seem surprised, "They don't play a lot of games with this strange lineup, but the offensive firepower is unusually strong, and they are still playing relatively few games, but I believe that there should be coaches in the league who have noticed this lineup." ”
"The Wizards' style of play is so weird, in my opinion, they almost completely give up defense, and then rely purely on offense and hard work on the other side, which is simply challenging my perception of basketball." Barron said with a wry smile, it seems that he is really a little surprised by the performance of the Wizards' lineup.
"It's a bit like a run-and-gun tactic, but it's different from a run-and-gun tactic in that the core of the bombardment tactic is a defender, and the team needs a defender who is very good at passing. The Wizards' tactical core is an interior lineman, which has never been done in history, and perhaps the elderly Magic Johnson and Li Kaiming play more similarly. Byron analyzed.
"The magician doesn't seem to have as strong offensive ability as Li Kaiming, but Li Kaiming's passing is not as good as the magician, and both sides have their own wins and losses." Barron protested Byron's comparison of Lee to a magician.
Just as the two commentators were talking, the Hawks also completed an offense, and Joe Johnson stepped up again, misplaced single Bradge broke through to the basket and scored two points!
88 flat!
The Wizards served the baseline ball, the Hawks began to increase their defensive intensity, Marvin Williams defended Li Kaiming close to him and did not let him receive the ball, and the Hawks played the abacus very clearly and let the rest of the Wizards handle the ball.
But Li Kaiming has already experienced this kind of defense, so he directly accelerated with a quick change of direction, and then suddenly ran back to Marvin Williams.
At this time, the ball was in the hands of Hinrich, who hit the ground and gave the ball to Li Kaiming, who rushed to the free throw line.
When Li Kaiming received the ball, Horford also caught up, and the opportunity to shoot was gone, but he found a hole in the Hawks' defense and directly hit the ball and passed the basketball from Horford's crotch to Blatch's hand.
The latter received the ball unguarded under the basket and scored an easy dunk.
The Hawks served, and Joe Johnson used his offensive influence to attract the Wizards and pass the ball to Josh Smith on the perimeter, who was the second-best player for the Hawks tonight.
Josh Smith catches the ball and shoots a three-point shot!
90 to 89!
The Wizards attacked, Marvin Williams once again kept close to prevent Li Kaiming from catching the ball, Xinrich saw that Li Kaiming had no chance for the time being, so he dribbled and broke through, and suddenly found that the chance was not big, and then threw the ball out directly, Nick Young on the outside didn't care about receiving this receiving ball, he was the favorite person in the Wizards team to throw this kind of ball, and even Li Kaiming didn't love him so much.
Nick Young had less than 10 seconds left when he received the ball, so he broke straight into the three-point line, and made a quick stop and stepped back to shoot at Josh Smith, but unfortunately missed.
The Eagles won the rebound and tried to push the conversion, but Li Kaiming returned to the defense very quickly, and Mike Bibi pressed down the speed and began to grind the battle.
Mike Bibby held the ball to block and dismantle, the Hawks players ran without the ball, Josh Smith ran out of space, Mike Bibby passed, Nick Young and Alsolton did not communicate well on the defensive end, and all pounced on Josh Smith, resulting in the release of Joe Johnson, who was more threatening.
Josh Smith received the ball and passed it directly to Joe Johnson, who hit a solid two-point shot!
90 to 91!
The Wizards served, and after Li Kaiming arrived in the frontcourt, he stood far outside the three-point line and pulled Marvin Williams out, who thought he was going to wait here to shoot three points, but Li Kaiming suddenly started and killed Williams by surprise.
Hinrich dribbled the ball around inside the three-point line, and when he returned to outside the three-point line, Li Kaiming just rushed in, so Hinrich took the opportunity to stuff the ball inside!
Li Kaiming received the ball in high-speed movement and directly strengthened, and Horford under the basket reacted a beat slower, and was fouled by Li Kaiming.
Li Kaiming walked to the free throw line and hit two free throws, 92-91!
Three minutes have passed since the fourth quarter, and there is no way for either side to take the opposite side.
Larry Drew was a little anxious, he said before the game that he had a good revenge battle, wouldn't it be a big loss if he lost?
And Saunders is firmly seated in the Diaoyutai, and he is ready not to win today and not start.
From the beginning of the season to the present, Sanders has become more and more fond of dead grass starters, which is mainly due to two reasons, one is that the Wizards' bench strength is too weak, rather than letting them play to make a mess for the starters, it is better to let the starters play more.
On the other hand, because the Wizards' starters are too strong, especially the offense, after the arrival of Li Kaiming, the Wizards' starting lineup can rank in the top five in the league in terms of points per game, beating a number of championship-winning teams, which Sanders could never have imagined in any case.
This powerful attack has given Sanders a taste of what it feels like to be a famous coach, and he can straighten up on the outside of the house, and some people have started to add him to the best coach discussion.
Other people's praise and reputation enhancement are addictive, and Sanders is at that stage right now.
The game on the field was still going on, and Larry Drew wanted to take a timeout to set up the defense, but was stopped by the assistant coach.
The assistant coach meant to tell him to wait and see, and wait until the last five minutes of the game, and now put too much energy into setting up the defense, and I'm afraid that by then the Eagles players will not have enough energy.
Besides, the Wizards can't pull the score away anyway.
It stands to reason that the idea of a teaching assistant makes perfect sense, and it is also shared by Larry Drew.
But the Eagles' coaching staff certainly wouldn't have imagined that there was a guy on their side who would escalate like a Super Saiyan as soon as he reached the final five minutes of the game.
With five minutes left in the game, Larry Drew finally couldn't stand the game and called a timeout.
Playing like this is completely following the rhythm of the Wizards, which is completely unacceptable to Larry Derew.
This is also the reason why the Wizards have won so many games, they can always disintegrate the opposing defense, make the opponent start to doubt their defense, and thus shatter the opposing defensive confidence.
To sum up, it is to pull the opposing defense to the same level as yourself, and then take it away in waves with rich offensive skills.
Larry Drew called a timeout and didn't make any tactical adjustments, but Sanders replaced Blatch and re-entered the five-out lineup.
Sanders is now training in the game, and Lewis is definitely going to start after being traded, but the time is too tight and the tactical training is too late, so he simply let Lewis play on the court.
Anyway, the latter only likes to shoot three-pointers, and he won't play with the ball, as long as he moves near the bottom corner, it will not have much impact on the movement of the rest of the Wizards, not to mention that there are two people in the pass, Li Kaiming and Hinrich, there is no problem at all.
The game ushered in the final critical moment, and the fans in the Philips arena also began to cheer for the home team, and the tension level in the whole stadium immediately rose a level.
The Eagles served, and Mike Bibby dribbled the ball past half court and handed it directly to Joe Johnson, who won the game in the mid-range freestyle single Nick Young and scored 2 points!
The expression on Larry Drew's face on the sidelines did not become relaxed because of this offensive success, and the effect of adjustment depends on the defense.
The Wizards served, Hinrich dribbled and broke through with a block, and passed the ball to Li Kaiming under the basket, who forced a shot in the face of the bag and missed the turnover jumper!
Seeing this scene, Larry Drew's frown eased.
The Hawks attacked, and Mike Bibby gave the ball to Josh Smith, who caught the ball and dummered Alssoton, then slapped a jumper.
Li Kaiming protected the rebound and handed it to Hinrich, who dribbled to the front court and played a hand-to-hand with Nick Young, and after finding that there was no chance, he passed it again.
Larry Deru's defensive adjustment effect is still relatively significant, and if Li Kaiming is not involved, the Wizards' offense may be in vain.
Seeing that his teammates repeatedly guided the ball on the outside but just didn't have a chance to come out, just at this time the effect of the badge had begun to take effect, Li Kaiming directly clapped his hands and asked for the ball from Thorton's hand.
Marvin Williams saw that Li Kaiming was going to go head-on, and a nervous look flashed on his face.
Although the latter has not been in the league for a long time, the title of the king of key balls is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Li Kaiming faced Williams, dribbled outside the three-point line to find a rhythm, and then suddenly a twitch hesitated, Williams didn't know whether Li Kaiming wanted to break through or shoot, and was directly fixed in place by this action.
Li Kaiming's action is the famous "Mai Style Dry Pulling", which requires the cooperation of the head, shoulders and arms, plus Medi's eyes that did not wake up, which is extremely lethal.
Li Kaiming's eyes are wider than Maddie's, and he looks bright, so he doesn't have such a strong confusing effect, but his height makes up for the missing part.
Li Kaiming scored a three-point pull, 103-102, and the Wizards overtook again!
Larry Drew had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still reassured himself that this kind of ball could not be scored every time. With four minutes left, the Hawks attacked, Joe Johnson singled with the ball, attracted the bag and distributed the ball to Mike Bibby on the outside, who made a decisive three-point shot, but did not score.
Li Kaiming protected the rebound, handed it to Hinrich to dribble to the frontcourt, and then continued to go up to block and dismantle.
The Hawks' two defenders focused on Lee, and Hinrich took the opportunity to break through to the three-point line.
The Hawks' defensive formation shrank inside, blocking Hinrich's breakout path, who threw the ball out, Joe Johnson helped defend and let go of Nick Young, who received the ball on the outside and hit it again!
106 to 102!
Joe Johnson slapped his palms with some annoyance and signaled to his teammates that it was his problem.
