Taking advantage of Xu Yong's efforts to go to the free throw line, O'Neal hurriedly called Battinger and Bayless to his side.

Xu Yong went to the free throw line, adjusted his breathing against interference, and then added a free throw and hit it steadily.

7 to 3.

The pressure is now on the Wildcats' side.

"Come on! Wildcats! ”

The home fans cheered in unison.

In the midst of the cheers, it was Bayless who stood up on the Wildcats' side.

He received the ball and went straight to the basket, and a super difficult pull-up layup dodged Ayers' block and scored, breaking the scoring drought for the Wildcats.

And after retreating, he also reached out to direct his teammates to defend and settle down.

The Wildcats quickly showed their adjustment under his command, and Harden broke through with the ball and was directly pinched.

Harden was forced to stop the ball and watch, only to be tackled by McClellan.

The Wildcats countered the fast break, and Bayless received a long pass from Wise for a layup and scored again!

7 draws.

In the blink of an eye, the Wildcats had tied the score.

Bayless roared after the goal.

He wants to wash the Devils team in blood, but it's not just words!

The cheers of the fans at the scene also overshadowed one wave after another.

Sandek reacted quickly enough to call a timeout when he saw that the situation was not right.

"Xu, you are in the bottom corner of the strong side, James, the opposite side is starting to pinch you, you have to prepare for the ball in advance." As soon as it happened, Sandek adjusted his deployment.

As Xu Yong said, Sandek is a coach who is on the line, and this adjustment is very timely.

The timeout came back and the game continued.

Glasser continued to organize with the ball, and Harden and Shipp were playing off-ball pick-and-rolls.

Sandrick's timeout was very targeted, allowing Harden to hold the ball against Bayless, which could not only maximize Harden's single advantage, but also consume Bayless, killing two birds with one stone.

However, there were some deviations in the execution of the tactics, Bayless chose to grab after encountering the block, and Glasser did not grasp the timing of the pass well, and was directly cut off by Bayless.

After Baylors steals, Harden can only choose to foul on the spot to prevent the Wildcats' fast break.

Harden looked annoyed after the foul, and Glasser bowed his head in frustration.

This round is crucial for the Devils, who can't continue to score, and they will likely be overtaken by the Wildcats in the next round, and the momentum on the court will fall to the Wildcats.

They all know what it will be like for the home team once they gain momentum.

Seeing this, Xu Yong beckoned the players together: "Don't worry, the game has 40 minutes, and we have only reached more than 6 minutes, stay patient, and if you don't succeed in one round, you will play the next round." ”

These words, while brief, are effective.

Falling back to the defensive end, Ayers struggled to prevent Bayless' breakthrough layup, and the rebound was also protected by Xu Yong.

When they pushed to the frontcourt, the Devils played a lot more patiently.

This time, after Harden confronted Bayless and pressed the opponent behind him with his back, and everyone else pulled away, Glasser fed the ball to Harden.

Harden holds the ball and strikes directly to the left side of Bayless.

Although Bayless is stuck in position, the difference in size and weight between the two makes it difficult for him to pose a big threat to Harden, and Harden's control skills and rhythm are too good, and after a deceleration and acceleration confrontation, Harden has completely squeezed Bayless away.

However, Harden's road ahead was not smooth because Batinger pinched in early.

Defend the same way as before, and do it even better than the previous round.

But this time Harden wasn't forced to stop the ball, and he threw the ball out early before Battinger's pinch shots formed.

The ball flew straight to Xu Yong in the bottom corner of the strong side.

After receiving the ball, Xu Yong got a completely empty shot.

The Devils showed execution, and Sandek's time-out play played perfectly.

"Rebound!" Bayless saw that Xu Yong was about to shoot, and shouted at the basket as soon as possible.

He knows that Xu Yong doesn't have three points, and if he wins this rebound, the Wildcats will be able to overtake them in the next round, and then get up, and then pull away the score and win the game in one go......

Hill heard that Ailes was jammed early, and Battinger also gave up on the defense, but turned to look in the direction of the rebound.

The Wildcats also showed excellent execution.

Xu Yong was a little surprised, but he guessed a rough idea, and soon glanced at Bayless happily.

"Comrade Jerry, the organization will remember your efforts!"

After adjusting his posture, Xu Yong's three-point shot calmly.

His three-point shooting has not only been practiced for two months, but for more than two years, and the shooting level has only gradually stabilized in the past two months.

Although he doesn't have the ability to hold the ball and shoot three-pointers because of his ball-handling skills, he is very sure of this kind of open three-point shot.

That's one shot in his thousands of training sessions.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound of entering the net, the basketball entered the net.

The shouts of the scene were suddenly replaced by a cheer from the fans of the Devils!

O'Neill's expression on the sidelines was directly shocked.

The fifty-year-old head coach then spread his hands and looked at Bayless: This is what you said no three?!

Bayless stretched out his hand and scratched his head, Xu Yong didn't look like he had a stable three-point on the field that day.

And afterwards, they also went to watch the Devils' game, and it was rare to see Xu Yong outside the three-point line.

How could Xu Yong suddenly be able to throw in, and he looked very sure?

"Balloons, that's balloons!"

Bayless lowered his hand and shouted at his teammates.

This both answered O'Neill and boosted the team's morale.

O'Neill shook his head when he saw this, but he didn't immediately adjust his defensive strategy.

Luck doesn't go to balloons, and a ball really doesn't say much.

Hill held the ball back to Ayers in the front court, shook off Ayers with beautiful footsteps, turned and wiped the board and hit a goal.

The Wildcats are in full swing, which requires the Devils to hit the response ball or the momentum will still go to the home side.

And after the Devils advanced to the frontcourt, McClellan also chose to go around the front and not give Harden the ball.

The Wildcats' thinking is also very clear, if they want to start scoring alone, they have to limit the opponent's attack.

Xu Yong's three points just now were an accident, and what they need more than an accident is to limit Harden's play.

Seeing this, Harden turned and ran directly to Glasser, and handed the ball to the top of the arc.

The Wildcats opted to flank on the spot.

Harden quickly gave the ball to Glasser, who was in the open space.

Glasser catches the ball and makes a three-point shot before Battinger assists in defense.

The shot was good, but unfortunately Glasser's shot was short, and the ball bounced off the front of the basket.

Ayres made up for it, struggled to pick up the rebound in the frontcourt, and then threw his hand at Xu Yong in the bottom corner.

After Badinger went to assist in the defense, Xu Yong was once again emptied!

This is not the negligence of the Wildcats, but O'Neal's arrangement before the game, the pinching means that one person must be released, and Xu Yong is the one they chose to release.

Although Xu Yong made a three-pointer in the last round, O'Neal did not give the order, and their strategy did not change.

So, Xu Yong got another three-point opportunity.

Badinger defended this time, but couldn't catch up, so he jumped up from three meters away and made a blocking gesture.

It's more of a psychological distraction.

Such interference obviously did not work for Xu Yong.

He calmly adjusted and bent his knees and jumped.

Straight arm, wrist pluck.

After the basketball is thrown, it flies straight to the basket with a beautiful backspin in the air, and the trajectory is very positive and the force is just right.

"Huh!"

And then another hole through the net!

After landing on the ground, Xu Yong put away his shooting posture and reached out to stroke his short hair.

Oh, go for special luck!!
