Just a 4-point difference, the home of the Wizards.

Judging from the momentum, from the home and away games, the Wizards have the advantage.

But judging from the lineup of the two sides at this time, it is more favorable to the supersound.

On the Wizards' side, Da Yao and Artest are not on the court, there is a lack of strong support on the defensive end, and only Harrington can give Jordan some help on the offensive end.

Although the supersonic side is missing a defensive warrior Sakuragi, the outside firepower is already fully open, and Payton's presence is still able to support Lin Dong at both offensive and defensive ends after all, and at the same time, Iguodala and Brent on the outside are all hot, and it seems that they obviously have more offensive points than the Wizards.

"Lock them out! Stare at your own people! Don't worry about anything else, let those two go it alone! Doug Collins shouted frantically from the sidelines.

This is the only way for the Wizards to solve the current lineup gap, people are marking, locking up others, and handing over the victory to Jordan!

- Michael! Michael! Michael!

The whole audience was cheering for Jordan.

Jordan and Lin Dong are already working hard.

Jordan, who has rested for a whole season and recuperated for a whole season, broke out with the ability to never lose to the key ball in his prime.

The physical strength and outbursts can keep up, the only difference from the peak era is that there are fewer strange moves, less provocations, and fewer shows.

If you can go directly to the basket, you will never dunk it; If it can be buckled directly, it will never waste effort to pull the rod.

Is it just to save energy?

This may be the opinion of everyone present, or even almost everyone in this world, but only people like Lin Dong who have reached the same realm understand that this is not just because of saving physical strength.

Those buckles, those levers, and those shows, appearing in the picture of Jordan at the peak of the past, are by no means simple publicity and unlimited physical strength.

It's because Jordan at that time still needs to stay excited in the game, which is state 2, just like the Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball, the mood will always be in a kind of excitement after transformation.

Only by staying high can you maintain your status2.

But now it's state 3.

He no longer needs any superfluous excitement to provide state, and even when he enters state 3, the emotional feedback is only extreme tranquility and concentration.

This is the true road to simplicity, back to basics, perfect control is not only reflected in the 'ball', but also in the physical, emotional and everything else.

Call!

After lowering his body, the wind-like figure rushed out like a hurricane, making Lin Dongdu, who was also in state 3, feel a little out of reach.

Can't block it, can't prevent it!

Because when each other is in the ultimate state3, the competition between winning and losing will return to the original starting point, which will depend on each other's physical fitness and each other's most basic speed.

At the same time, the iron law of attack and defense, the attacker always occupies the initiative, and this point has always remained the same.

Don't think that you can predict each other's actions, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you doing to talk about fasting?

Do you know that the other party did not prejudge your prediction? If you really want to make a prediction right, it's just shit luck, just bumping into your prediction of the other party's prediction of your prediction, and the blocked opponent will immediately choose to readjust, let you predict again, until you 'predict' wrong.

The initiative is always firmly in the hands of the attacker, and it is always one step ahead of you.

How to prevent it?

Iguodala, who was nearby, saw Jordan rushing and subconsciously stepped forward to attack, but before he could settle down, Jordan had already drilled through the gap between him and Lin Dong, almost blocking Lin Dong's pursuit route, not to mention, and leaking Larry Hughes on the outside.

So anxious that McMillan scolded on the sidelines.

Fortunately, Jordan didn't pass the ball, and if Jordan passed, then Larry Hughes would throw it, and it would be a heavy blow to the supersonic.

Because that not only means that the Wizards' outside line starts to fire, but also means that Jordan's score will be effortless, and if Jordan can't form a lot of effective consumption, then what can be relied on at the last moment to limit this basketball god who has returned to the top?

Throwing off Iguodala, the two slashed diagonally into the inside, Lin Dong could only barely get stuck on Jordan's right back side at this time, followed by Jordan's man and ball in one, grabbing the ball to force Lin Dong's defensive position, and jumping high towards the basket.

Lin Dong jumped up to block, but when Jordan had already eaten the defensive position, such a block was obviously meaningless.

A left-handed hand-to-right-handed hand-to-hand layup, with an extra-long arm that grabbed the ball with one hand and handed it forward, plus the cover of his body, so that Lin Dong didn't have any space to touch the ball at all.

The basketball is easily picked into the basket.

At 98:102, the margin returned to 4 points again.

With the supersonic ball possession, the Wizards also tried a more extreme full-court marking attrition, allowing Tyronn Lue to rush directly to the frontcourt to stalk Lin Dong without the ball.

tried to use the tactics that Sakuragi had against Yao Ming before to increase Lin Dong's consumption and make the supersonic ace exhausted first, but the result was that Jordan almost scolded.

The small man Tyronn Lu does have a natural advantage in speed and agility, but this advantage is okay to deal with Sakuragi, but against Lin Dong?

Void!

Lin Dong deliberately pulled Tyronn Lue's winding defense to the right halfline, and when Payton controlled the ball past half court, it was followed by a feigned retreat to shift Tyronn Lue's center of gravity, and then a deft turn that made Tyronn Lue unreachable.

Not only did he win with his footsteps, but he went directly behind Tyronn Lue, and he also relied on his height and arm span to pull Tyronn Lue's first turn movement.

Want to turn around and chase it? I won't even let you chase it!

At the same time, Payton's pass had arrived, Lin Dong held the ball and hit the inside, Jordan had already come up two or three steps outside the three-point line, but this time Lin Dong did not choose to single, but threw the ball directly to the left bottom line, and ran towards the basket at the same time.

At this time, Brent, who was supposed to be defending by Tyronn Lue, had already rushed to the empty left baseline three-pointer, Lin Dong's pass just arrived, and Brent, who was holding the ball, was not half a figure within at least four or five steps of his side.

Brent adjusted slightly, shot out a steady 3-pointer, and did not give Lin Dong and Jordan, who had already rushed to the basket, a chance to compete for rebounds, and the basketball went into the net with a steady hollow.

98:105！

The difference in points has opened up, and the gap is 7 points!

"Look after your people! Leave Lin Dong alone! That's mine! Jordan roared angrily at Tyronn Lue.

Tyronn Lue was full of grievances.

MD, it's clear that Collins just asked me to consume Linton.

Collins, who was on the sidelines, pretended to be stealthy, pointing out that the American people also understood it, but ...... Corinthians is also awe-inspiring.

Sure enough, the balance cannot be broken.

The battle between the two of them is not something that others can intervene in, vainly trying to break the balance and intensifying Lin Dong's consumption, then the only result is to let Lin Dong find a breakthrough, but it saves his physical strength.

At this point, McMillan and Payton actually saw it more clearly than themselves, the defense was as strong as Payton, and they didn't mean to pinch Jordan just now...... It seems that only those two people can decide to win.

Wizards' possession.

Lin Dong's spirit was extremely focused, and State 3 made his heart stop at this time, and at the same time, he was also brewing an extreme outburst in calm.

At this point, he had given up on the idea of blocking Jordan.

Under state 3, such a guy can't be blocked or prevented, the center of gravity of defense must be adjusted, abandon defense, and change from ball defense to defense!

On the confrontation, fight and consume, the technology can't be distinguished, then the physical strength is high.

The first is that you must give the opponent a sense of psychological pressure, you can't let the opponent really feel that it is easy to score, physical consumption must also be accompanied by mental consumption, only such superimposed consumption can drag down the opponent faster, otherwise it is really necessary to make the family play smoothly, and players of this level can completely rush to the fourth quarter.

And when a defender is not aiming to defend the ball, but instead focuses on defending people, the targeted physical confrontation can be too uncomfortable for the attacker.

Blocking, dragging, pulling, squeezing, use all means to make your way to the basket difficult.

Jordan obviously saw Lin Dong's purpose, compared to physical strength, he believed that the other party's 19-year-old body was stronger than himself anyway, but it was not necessarily better than endurance.

At this time, he dragged in, and on the route that Lin Dong chose the simplest cover and then deliberately left for him, he had to choose a more physically demanding pull rod.

The goal was wonderful enough, and the audience applauded and cheered, but only Jordan knew that this was not the result he wanted.

So the defensive end that turned around did the same, but to be honest, it was difficult to ......

He has an ultra-low body that he can't defend himself by speed, and although the opponent can't prevent it, he can barely hang it, which allows the defender to complete the consumption and exchange of physical strength by dragging, as well as giving the attacker a sense of oppression.

But Lin Dong's non-deceleration and change of direction made Jordan feel that it was difficult for him to exert pressure on the defensive end, because it was directly aimed at completely throwing off your defense, so you didn't have a chance to pull hard.

The only restriction on this move is the wear and tear on the attacker's knee, which will cost the player's professional life, but if people don't care...... You can't help it.

All Jordan can do is try to keep up with Lin Dong's third step and try his best to put some pressure on Lin Dong on the defensive end, but this pressure is much less than what Lin Dong exerted on him when defending.

The two-man battle continued from the beginning of the fourth quarter to almost the end, Jordan only made two passes to his teammates, which were large open spaces when teammates ran without the ball, and Harrington made two shots and two shots, and the outside line was always a little faster.

Lin Dong also only passed two to his teammates, one was a 3-point pass to Brent when Tyronn Lue was out of position, and the other was a pass to Iguodala who ran out of space without the ball on the outside.

also hit, but unfortunately stepped on the line, only scored 2 points, but let the SuperSonics lose 1 point in the firepower of their teammates on the outside in the fourth quarter.

In addition, almost all of them are Lin Dong and Jordan's performances, you enter one, I return one, you can't prevent me, and I can't prevent you.

The stadium cheered one after another, accompanied by the home team's goal, but also with the supersonic counterattack.

The difference between the two sides is also constantly going back and forth between 3-5 points.

Lin Dong focused on the heads-up with Jordan, and he didn't care much about teasing the atmosphere and rhythm of the audience in the stadium.

And the miraculous thing is that the physical strength problem that I thought did not appear at this time.

Lin Dong could clearly feel that his physical strength was on the verge of limit, and in a normal state, it was impossible to have an outbreak at this time.

It was state 3 that allowed him to push himself beyond the limits of his physical strength.

I was very tired, and I even felt my legs tremble slightly when I stopped, but the presence of State 3 allowed me to always exhaust my physical strength at the moment I needed it and support my body to complete the movement.

Lin Dong knew that Jordan on the opposite side should be in the same state as himself, and it might even be a little more difficult than himself, after all, the same offensive and defensive consumption, but Jordan faced greater defensive pressure than himself.

However, that extra consumption is no longer enough to be the straw that crushes the other party in such a time.

Maybe both of them need more recovery time after the game, but at least in this game, it is impossible to make the other go down early.

Jordan hit a 2-point fast break, 116:119, and the difference was only 3 points!

With 48 seconds left, it was exactly two full offensive rounds with supersonic possession.

Frankly speaking, two full offensive rounds, a 3-point lead, the ball is still in their own hands, and the supersonic can make a fuss, and this time should be called a timeout.

But McMillan clenched his fists and just didn't scream.

Doesn't the Wizards also have a timeout? If you want to call the wizards, if the wizards don't call, then the advantage is mine, why should I call it?

McMillan looked over the Wizards bench and saw Doug Collins looking at him as well, both managers were slightly stunned, and then McMillan smiled at him.

Doug Collins was helpless, he was just waiting for the supersonic to call a timeout, and then when the supersonic timeout was over, he would call another one, so as to give Jordan a few more minutes to rest and recover, after all, it felt like Jordan's breathing was already very heavy.

But looking at McMillan's expression, there is a high probability that he will not give this opportunity, and at this time he can only call a long timeout before the serve comes out.

A 120-second long timeout, plus the time to get on and off the court, the referee's slight procrastination, etc., can be counted as 3 minutes of rest!

———— Buzz!

Although it was a pause, there were almost no fans still sitting in the MCI Center at this time, but they all chose to stand up and watch, some cheered, some sang, some shouted slogans, and there were more buzzing discussions, so that the entire stadium center was in a lively and jubilant state at this time.

What's wrong with a 3-point difference?

We've got Jordan! The Jordan who never disappoints in the crucial moments!

Wizards fans are absolutely confident.

"The bottom line ball is sent directly to Lin Dong! Payton, block up, you don't catch the ball, beware of the Wizards' foul tactics! ”

"As long as the ball is released, the Wizards will most likely choose a dead defense for 24 seconds, don't delay time with them, and play fast break while ensuring the shooting rate! Offensive! Offensive! Attack again! Playing fast with them, we have our style, at our own pace, rather than going to play the Wizards out of positional battles! It's not about thinking about the last shot in 24 seconds, that's the rhythm of the Wizards, and that will give us the possibility of mistakes! ”

"48 seconds is enough time for the Wizards to grab two rounds of offensive time, so if you want to delay the time, you have to save it for the last offensive round!"

"In addition, Yao Ming should also be on it, in the last two rounds, they will strengthen the inside line to fight for rebounds, we must play the success rate!"

"Sakuragi, protect the rebound, Yao on the offensive end will definitely be able to go to the basket, but after that, don't let him easily go to the opposite basket, you can't do it!"

"Okay!" Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had been resting for most of the quarter, also recovered a little, and listening to this confident voice, it should be no problem at all to insist on the last two rounds.

McMillan held the tactical board and explained loudly that only Lin Dong was the most stable in this supersonic free throw, followed by Iguodala, and secondly, even Payton only had a 78% free throw shooting rate.

"Wait for the defensive round, continue to mark people and don't mess up, we have a score lead, and it doesn't matter if Michael singles two! Don't foul, don't put 3 points! ”

"If after grabbing two rounds, there is still time for the last attack, give the ball to Lin Dong, and then kill the time, it's not too late......"

Not just the next goal, but all the tactical changes that followed, McMillan has pretty much already talked about it.

And in the end......

McMillan stretched out his hand, the team's usual folding hand action, in the past, at this time, Payton, who was the boss of the team, reached out first, but Payton looked at Lin Dong with a smile, and then reached out and grabbed Lin Dong's hand and folded it on McMillan's hand, and then covered his hand as well.

Everyone laughed, one after the other.

It's a handover, a handover of team leaders......

Frankly speaking, although the team's boss and spiritual leader has always been Payton, to be honest, whether it is Peyton himself, McMillan, or even the whole team, it is very clear that Lin Dong is the core that can really decide everything in today's supersound.

At this time, I don't need more words at all, I feel all the palms on my hands, feel the heavy responsibility, and feel the support and trust from the whole team.

Peyton gave a look, and Lin Dong was not hypocritical, and said the sentence that is usually said by Peyton: "Supersonic must win!" Come on! ”

“HOHOHO！ Supersonic wins! Come on! ”

Honk!

As the referee's whistle sounded, the arena was boiling again.

As McMillan expected, the Wizards replaced Yao Ming with a substitute center and strengthened the defensive position under the basket, while the SuperSonics replaced Desmond with Sakuragi Hanamichi and strengthened the blockade of Yao Ming.

Brent walked to the baseline to execute the serve, and Jordan was already wound to Lin Dong's side for the first time.

Jordan can be heard panting for heavy breathing even after the break, but the ultimate off-ball defense is not weaker than Payton.

He was stubbornly entangled with Lin Dong, as if he had eyes behind his back, and always blocked his body in the middle of Lin Dong and Brent's passing routes.

"Hi Michael!" Lin Dong suddenly smiled at Jordan who was facing him: "I'm tired, right?" I'll beat you, right today! ”

"Don't talk big, see ...... under your hands"

Before the words fell, Lin Dong turned his back sharply, took advantage of Jordan's speech and turned his body sideways, blocking Jordan's sideways.

And one of Brent's ground-and-ground passes arrived just in time.

And when he caught the ball in his hand, Lin Dong had already rushed up, and pushed forward like a wind, and it only took four seconds to rush through the whole court and go straight to the basket!

Jordan, who was chasing the defense, was taken aback, not only Jordan, but the whole Wizards team was taken aback at this time.

Obviously, Jordan and Doug Collins didn't expect that the SuperSonics would choose to break fast in the last two offensive rounds with the lead and possession in hand!

At this time, he was caught off guard, Jordan's pursuit was a little slower by half a beat, he thought that Lin Dong would definitely stop and stabilize the rhythm, and the Wizards around him did not have time to attack, they could have given up their defensive object to attack, because there was Yao Ming under the basket, and the Wizards could bet on the inaccuracy of the supersonic outside line.

But the problem is that no one thought that Lin Dong would choose to attack quickly, and by the time he reacted, Lin Dong had already formed a 2-on-1 situation with Sakuragi under the basket against Yao Ming.

Yao Ming raised his hands and came up, Lin Dong changed hands and pulled the rod, and the ball went in!

116:121！

The margin was again 5 minutes with 42 seconds remaining.

Wizards' possession.

The 5-point difference obviously made the scene a little worried, and it was followed by Jordan's performance time, which was the same as Lin Dong's off-ball getaway just now.

Lin Dong died, and Payton chose a pinch shot, only to see Jordan suddenly close the ball outside the 3-point line.

At this time, Tyronn Lue on the right side was already a big vacancy, Payton realized that something was wrong, and hurried back to Tyronn Lue to make up for it, but the next second he saw Jordan's sudden dry pull back outside the three-point line.

The large recline angle made Lin Dong have no room for a cap at all.

Swish!

Also enter!

At 119:121, the numbers on the electronic scoreboard jumped, making the stadium scene suddenly burst into a burst of crazy shouts, only 2 points away!

There are 34 seconds left.

The Wizards' defensive strategy changed, Jordan and Harrington doubled without the ball Lin Dong, and they pulled Lin Dong hard, and the ball couldn't be sent for a while.

Seeing that the five-second violation was imminent, McMillan quickly called a short timeout.

After a slight adjustment, Brent continued to baseline the ball, the Wizards continued to wrap up the off-ball Lindon, and this time it was Payton who got rid of Tyronn Lue.

The ball is in Payton's hands, and the tempo is about to be controlled a little slower.

The supersonic advanced all over the court, and with Harrington's defense, Lin Dong finally got rid of Jordan's entanglement and received the ball until this time.

By this time, there were only 25 seconds left.

Lin Dong didn't panic this time, if he played the full 24 seconds of this offensive round and scored, then the offensive time left for the Wizards would only be 10 seconds, and he was 4 points ahead, and Sakuragi pestered Yao Ming to prevent him from returning, which was almost equivalent to locking the win.

But at this time, it can be seen that the Wizards are not flustered, and they have no intention of wanting to foul to buy time, or do they want to prevent one?

Lin Dong stabilized his breathing, he had reached this point, and his physical strength was no longer a problem.

At this time, he controlled the ball steadily on the three-point line, and silently counted down the 24-second offensive time in his heart.

6、5……

Success rate, this ball must hit!

Lin Dong suddenly turned his head to look in Peyton's direction, and Peyton understood, and rushed towards Lin Dong's side as soon as possible.

Jordan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, cover? Pick-and-roll?

But it was the moment when Jordan's heart touched him.

Bend your knees, lift up, and get up!

Lin Dong suddenly pulled himself up.

Jordan's pupils shrank suddenly, and in state 3, his concentration was highly concentrated, and his body jumped almost instinctively.

But the explosive power difference between the momentum and the instinctive jump is too far, not to mention the 40-year-old old rascal, how can he really compare with the 19-year-old Lin Dong in terms of explosiveness?

I saw that the two jumped almost at the same time, but Lin Dong's shot height obviously surpassed Jordan by at least half an arm.

Swish!

Even though Jordan tried his best, he could only watch the ball fly overhead.

Pregnant!

Before he could land, Lin Dong's fist was already clenched.

Hollow into the net, 3 points and then in!

The hustle and bustle of the audience was paused at this moment.

Frankly speaking, Lin Dong's 3 points have already made Wizards fans a little desperate.

In this whole game, counting this, he actually shot 12 3-pointers, and the 3-point shooting rate was as high as 70%, whether it was the number of shots or the shooting percentage, it has set NBA history, and it even makes people feel that as long as they see him jump up on the 3-point line, it is equivalent to a goal.

As a fan of Jordan, I have long been accustomed to watching Jordan's performance at the last moments, and Jordan showed off enough today.

However, no matter how Jordan shows, the first-year rookie can respond immediately!

It gives them a feeling, like Seattle fans say: you have God, and we have !!

119:124, but there are only 11 seconds left!

“HOHO！ Win! ”

"Lin! Forest! Forest! ”

Supersonic leads by 5 points!

Everyone on the bench jumped wildly with excitement, but the MCI Center Arena was in a state of tension and sluggishness.

11 seconds, 5 points behind, this ...... Is there still a chance?

Honk!

The Wizards immediately called their last short timeout.

This timeout is quite spiritual, not only in the final tactical arrangement, but more importantly, it is also about the serve.

With less than 24 seconds left on the final offensive end, after a timeout, the team with the ball could go directly to the center to serve the sideline instead of starting from the baseline, which could give the Wizards a time to carry the ball and cross the halfcourt.

At 11 seconds, the Wizards clearly don't intend to give up.

"They're going to give it to Jordan, and the last shot is definitely Jordan's, and if you defend it, you'll win the game!" McMillan shouted at everyone the answer known to the whole world: "Pinch him!" Don't give them any chance! Also, be careful not to foul when defending against 3 points! Don't foul! Don't foul! ”

Say the important thing three times, it's a good picture, but you never know what's going to happen until the last second of the game, especially when there's Jordan on the other side.

And on the bench of the Wizards......

"Give the ball to Michael!" This is clearly the only option for the Wizards.

But Jordan's face was unusually calm, and he shouted: "Al! Play on the right side without the ball and get closer to Tyron! ”

The last vote is always God's?

Yes! However, this is not the last shot.

With a difference of 5 points, the Wizards need 2 3-points to overtake, and 1 3-point and 1-2 to tie.

The last shot must be your own, but this one ...... God can't be static, God also needs to evolve!

"If Lin Dong singles me out, I'll solve everything!"

"But if I catch the ball and Payton chooses to wrap me up with Lin Dong, then Tyronn Lue will be open at that time, and the supersonic rotation defense, and Andre, the first-year who guards you, will go to fill in for Tyronn Lue, so ...... I'll pass you the ball, throw me this damn 3-pointer, I'll have a way to get the last one last shot, and then you'll be the hero saving the team!" ”

Life and death, at this moment, I can get such an opportunity.

Harrington yelled, "Don't worry, boss! If I lose my woman, I won't lose this ball! ”

Honk!

The two sides returned to the field, and the cheers of the stadium resounded through the roof.

- Michael! Michael! Michael!

Lin Dong tried his best to entangle, obviously did not bring an absolute blockade to Jordan, with each other's strength, it is impossible to lock it alone.

Jordan used the pull of his body strength to forcibly pull Lin Dong away from his side, and completed a break before the violation in 5 seconds.

Syllable!

The ball went to Jordan, and the closest to the left was Payton, who was following Tyronn Lue.

At this time, Peyton's eyes were shining, and the thought of God Butcher had been bothering him for eight years, but success was just around the corner.

Although 11 seconds seems to be only enough time for the Wizards to complete one offense, the opponent is Jordan after all, and he can't give him any room to play, and he won't pass the ball!

Attacks!

Without hesitation, Payton shook off Tyronn Lue and slammed into Jordan.

Just defend this ball and win!

Two of the best guys in supersonic defense got around Jordan, and even the gods of basketball couldn't help it.

And abandoning Tyronn Lue is obviously not a mistake, but intentional, it is a trap, a trap for supersonic rotation defense!

While Payton was pinching up, Iguodala in the distance was already quietly moving towards Tyronn Lue.

Can be ...... in the next second

Jordan jumped high and made a through pass.

God actually passed the ball?

In this era, at the last moment of the game, the star of the house chooses to pass the ball, but he has to carry a lot of pressure.

If your teammates really enter, it's salvation, but if you don't, it's you!

Your reputation will plummet and you will lose everything!

That's why the likes of McMillan and Payton are adamant that Jordan won't pass the ball.

But he just passed it on.

McMillan's mouth on the sidelines opened wide, he knew that Jordan had already reached the point where he could give everything for this seventh crown, but he didn't expect him to give so thoroughly.

The basketball went over the heads of the stunned Lindon and Payton, and also over Tyronn Lue and Iguodala, and into Harrington's hands on the left baseline.

The people on the supersonic side were taken aback, and it was no problem to rotate to fill the position of Tyronn Lu, but Sakuragi and Yao Ming were entangled in the basket, and they had neither the space to make up for the next step, nor the physical strength to complete the large-scale transfer in time.

Vacancy!

Harrington took the ball and pulled it up without hesitation.

Swish!

In the fourth quarter, when the will and honor of both sides were staked, Harrington's eyes also flashed like a volcanic eruption.

You want to enter, you want to enter! bet on the future of his life, if he doesn't score this goal, he and Jordan will be pointed at by Qianfu!

Not only him, but the other 4 Wizards teammates on the court, and even all the fans in this MCI center, were shouting that voice frantically in their hearts.

Come in! Come in! Let's go inside!

Swish!

Basketball hollow into the net, 3 points scored!

Wow!

"Fack! Roar! Harrington roared excitedly, all the balls he has thrown in his life add up to less pressure than this one ball!

"Don't get excited, defend!" Jordan roared the same way.

The last ball, the last six seconds, he had the set-up...... This is the only supersonic loophole that can only be thought of by God, and it is also the only loophole in supersonic speed that can be caught by God!

Only by catching that loophole can the wizards have a chance of winning!

- Wizards! Wizard! Wizard!

- Defense! Defend! Defend!

The fans at the MCI Center all jumped up, the ball just now was too crucial, it was a lifesaver, and now although there are only 6 seconds left and the ball is in the opponent's hands, it is only 2 points away, and it is not hopeless.

122:124！

Bendu has already laid the victory, but he didn't expect such a change to happen temporarily.

The ball is in the hands of the supersonic but seems to be ......

McMillan swallowed nervously, already a little speechless.

Brent was already on the baseline to serve.

Everyone understands that if you want to win by 2 points, you have to rely on supersonic mistakes, but how can you make them miss? Of course, the faster you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and don't give them time to think!

For the first time, the referee on the sidelines didn't delay, throwing the ball straight to Brent fairly quickly and blowing the whistle for him to serve.

Brent was extremely nervous, and saw that the Wizards' side had changed, and Jordan and Harrington rushed up at the same time to seal Lin Dong.

Two without the ball and one clip, don't let Lin Dong catch the ball!

State 3!

Lin Dong's reaction and speed were all adjusted to the peak at this time, but he could face Jordan, who was also in peak state 3, plus Harrington.

The two nimble guys blocked in front of him and pulled hard, as strong as Lin Dong who was driving state 3, and he couldn't run out of the space to catch the ball.

Lin Dong's heart sank suddenly, this is the last tactic of the wizards?

5！

4！

Brent, who holds the ball on the baseline, has two big heads and can't find a way to pass the ball to Lin Dong at all.

At this time, Payton was entangled by Tyronn Lue and Iguodala was entangled by Larry Hughes, and Tyronn Lue really couldn't completely lock Payton, but the problem was that the Wizards added Yao Ming on the defensive end......

The 226-centimeter big man spread his legs at this time, and with his broad body and extra-long arm span, he blocked the left side of Brent's front of the baseline ball, completely blocking Brent's passing line to Payton.

Yao Ming didn't go back to the basket, and in 6 seconds, it was obvious that the Wizards had put everything out.

And Da Yao's blockade of the serve seems to have become the last straw that overwhelms the supersonic speed, and he can't even send the ball!

3！

The fans all over the stadium were shouting excitedly, counting down to the supersonic speed and putting more pressure on the supersound.

McMillan was already stunned, how could he do it if the baseline ball couldn't be sent? You'll have to swap the ball!

Time out! Time out! Pause first!

He hurriedly wanted to signal to the referee, but the assistant coach next to him stopped him in time: "There are no more timeouts!" ”

McMillan's heart suddenly mentioned, but he didn't shout a timeout many times, then he had to eat a technical offense......

2！

1！

When the countdown enters this last second moment.

In the face of the Wizards' desperate defense, Lin Dong still did not run out of the open position, and Payton and Iguodala could not receive the ball at all.

Frankly speaking, the Wizards' defense at this time has already made considerable moves, but this is the home court, and it is still the last moment of the game, this level of off-ball defense, there is nothing wrong with not blowing!

Seeing that the five-second violation was about to be made, a dark green figure suddenly sprang out from the side and stretched out his hands to Brent in a completely off-ball position.

Brent, who was so nervous that he was about to stop his heartbeat, passed the ball out without hesitation, as if he saw a life-saving straw.

And McMillan on the sidelines was stunned.

It was No. 10, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was the only one of the Wizards who didn't defend him, and even felt like he was deliberately leaking out.

McMillan was startled, and only then did he suddenly realize the Wizards' tactical intentions.

There is no timeout to make substitutions! It was really funny just now!

He hurriedly wanted to signal to the referee for a substitution, but he was already a step too late.

Swish!

Brent passed directly to Sakuragi Hanamichi, but in the next second, the wizards seemed to have been waiting for this pass, Yao Ming suddenly turned around and hugged Sakuragi who had just received the ball, and didn't even give Sakuragi time to throw the ball out.

Doug Collins on the sidelines squeezed his fist.

The tactics that God came up with, without giving supersonic time to think, really caught it!

Sakuragi Hanamichi, the guy who helped SuperSonics lay the foundation for victory in G1 and defended Yao Ming, the league's current No. 1 center, is also the biggest loophole for SuperSonics at this time.

And his loophole is his free throws!

Honk!

The referee's whistle blows.

"Wizards foul No. 5, Supersonic No. 10 free throws 2 goals!"

Penalty kick? Number 10?!

In the fourth quarter, the number of fouls on both sides had reached the free throw standard, but the SuperSonics were only at this time collectively cold.

Use Yao Ming to trick Sakuragi into playing, use Sakuragi's abandonment to trick Sakuragi into receiving the ball, and then use the foul on Sakuragi to send Sakuragi to the free throw line!

McMillan threw his tactics board to the ground in frustration and yelled 'Farke', which he should have thought of ......

Damn, there's no pause, you can call for a replacement!

One can adjust the time of the serve, and the other can also make the free throw more stable Desmond or the veteran Livingston replace Sakuragi to catch the ball, but now ...... What kind of bullshit head coach is he, his brain was completely down at that moment!

And on the bench on the Wizards' side, everyone jumped with excitement.

Jordan's face finally showed a relieved smile, and he stretched out his big hand and slapped Yao Ming fiercely: "good!" Well done, Yao! ”

Sending Sakuragi Hanamichi to the free throw line was the only way for the Wizards and the best option in this situation.

Sakuragi's free throw shooting wasn't too bad, but it wasn't great, shooting 71 percent from the field all season, but dropping to 65 percent in the playoffs, one of the worst on the SuperSonics.

Especially under heavy pressure, at such a critical moment, with the winning point of the game in hand, the psychological pressure of that kid will make his free throws more unreliable!

Now there is a difference of 2 points, and he only needs to miss a free throw, and the Wizards have a chance to tie the game by 3 points to play overtime, and he will definitely not let this opportunity slip away.

And if you miss two free throws, you can even use a 3-point to end the game directly!

And Sakuragi was also stunned at this time.

Just now, I just thought about rushing over to save the ball, but I forgot that the opponent would foul me.

Penalty kick......

Seeing the cheering celebration on the other side, Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly chuckled in his heart.

He could hear his own heartbeat, he could feel his scalp tingling, and even his fingers were shaking.

In such a state, how to make free throws?!

If this ball is missed, if this free throw is not scored, all the efforts of Brother Gaoren, Master Peyton, and everyone else will probably be buried in their own hands!

This, this......

"Hey!"

A large hand pressed on his head in time.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was so nervous that she suddenly raised her head as if she were reflexed.

A familiar face appeared in front of him, it was Brother Gaoren.

"Are you scared?" Lin Dong smiled at him.

Afraid?

There were really few times in his life when he was scared, but it never included now.

Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Everyone has done their best in this game, but they didn't expect that in the end, the balance of victory was on their heads.

For the first time, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt the pressure on his shoulders so great.

Afraid? More than fear? Sakuragi felt like her whole body was trembling!

Lin Dong didn't wait for him to answer, he pulled his head over and pressed it against his forehead.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Both could hear each other's violent gasps.

Sakuragi gasped nervously, Brother Gao probably wanted to remind himself of some free throw skills, right? Although he has already mastered those theoretical skills......

Unexpectedly, what Lin Dong said was just four simple words.

"I believe in you!"

Lin Dong said, smiling and patting the back of Sakuragi's head.

Whoop hoo

I believe you!

Whoop Woohoo ......

Believe......

Whew-

Sakuragi Hanamichi only felt a sudden emptiness in his mind, and let out a long breath.

Honk!

The referee blew the whistle urging the free throw, and Hanamichi Sakuragi walked to the free throw line.

Jordan, Yao Ming and other Wizards players were looking at him, exerting eye pressure on him, including verbal "Hey, boy, will you make free throws?" ”

"This kid's free throws are terrible."

"Get ready to grab a rebound!" Jordan shouted loudly.

There are two free throws, the first one grabbing the rebound...... But to say, to tell you, you can't make it!

But at this moment, the cherry blossom path is extremely quiet.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Sakuragi slapped the ball steadily, finding his rhythm, and silently reciting the basic essentials and movements of free throws in his heart.

Close the ball, bend your knees, and look at the basket.

Swish!

The basketball is shot steadily.

Syllable!

smashed on the edge of the inside of the basket and bounced slightly, making the hearts of Jordan and everyone else seem to bounce with it.

The tactics were used and they worked, but it also depended on the kid's free throws.

Don't enter! Don't enter! Don't enter!

Jordan muttered silently in his heart.

God has been on his hands for many years, and it's not as long as once tonight!

At this time, it is not only the people in the MCI center, but also in distant Japan, in different parts of the world......

Haruko's heart at the University of Tokyo was already tightened, and all the friends in the eel restaurant held their breath, together with Coach Anzai in the villa, who was so nervous that he couldn't help but stand up at this time, holding his thermos cup tightly in his hand.

Bang bang ......

Go in, go in, you have to go in!

All the companions were praying nervously, but Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes were sinking like water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

I saw the basketball toss on the basket several times, and finally got into the net with difficulty.

The score on the electronic scoreboard jumped with difficulty.

122:125, 3 points ahead for the supersonics!

"Yay!"

The cafeteria at the University of Tokyo erupted in a fierce cheer, and Haruko almost fainted from nervousness.

The companions of the Kanagawa Eel Restaurant were so excited that they almost smashed Jun Yuzumi's shop, and many people were so excited that they jumped on the table, which means that Jun Yuzumi was also staring nervously at the TV, otherwise these guys would dare to step on his table, and the knife in his hand might not be on the board.

And in the villa, Coach Anzai had already turned his back, he was holding a thermos cup in his hand, his head was lowered and kept pointing, he really didn't dare to look at it, after all, he was a person with heart disease, and before he couldn't help asking, his wife Keiko next to him was already smiling, and said in a gentle and gentle voice: "The free throw is in, don't worry." ”

"Whew......" Coach Anthy breathed a sigh of relief with nervousness.

At the MCI Center, McMillan and others were all squeezed their fists.

In this way, at least you can ensure that you don't lose, even if you miss the next goal, you can prevent 3 points and put 2 points, then even if it is Jordan, it may not really be able to gnaw down!

Honk!

The referee picks up the ball and passes it back to Hanamichi Sakuragi.

- No penalty! No penalty! No penalty!

- Number 10, you! You're a piece of trash!

- Number 10 you don't even know how to make free throws! You see, the basket is with me!

- Huhuhuhu! Hahahaha! Ahhh

Behind the hoop, there was a lot of fancy work in the stands of the arena, and countless fans were shouting at Sakuragi Hanamichi frantically, raising their middle fingers at him, provoking him, waving at him everything they could wield, pictorials, flags, strips of cloth, glow sticks, and even all kinds of flashing lights that were not very strong but enough to disturb you!

The whole stadium is boiling, like a pot of spicy incense pot that is boiling and tumbling!

But Sakuragi only took a deep breath and didn't look at the boiling stands.

Bend your knees, tuck your abdomen, and hold your chest straight.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's body was stunned.

No more dribbling, no more delays.

As the body was lifted up, both hands had already thrown the ball out of line with inertia.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air......

At this moment, Haruko, Coach Anzai, Brother Gaoren, Teacher Peyton, Master McMillan, and everyone else, including everything that happened in the summer that started with that dream, flashed in Sakuragi Hanamichi's mind one by one.

In the end, it turned into the four big words spoken by the master.

I believe you!

Swish!

Basketball hollow into the net.

The corners of Sakuragi's mouth curled slightly.

The score on the electronic scoreboard didn't seem to hesitate anymore this time, and it jumped steadily.

122:126！

4 points advantage, only 6 seconds left!

The entire arena fell silent for a moment.

There was no celebration, no excitement, Sakuragi just clenched his fists tightly, followed by a shout: "Defend!" ”

Lin Dong and Peyton both had a look of relief on their faces.

"Defend! Defend! Defend! ”

All the superSonics players immediately went into action, and the Wizards were all watching.

No chance, no chance!

The smile on Jordan's face had stiffened, while Tyronn Lue, who ran to the baseline to hold the ball, looked sluggish.

Four points behind with only six seconds left......

In the face of the supersonic five defenses that are now used at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi is entangled with Yao Ming, and Lin Dong and Payton are without the ball to hit Jordan.

Brent used his suffocating strength to entangle Larry Hughes, and Iguodala was almost living on Harrington.

The belief in victory and the momentum that does not relax at all have made the supersonic speed at this moment burst into an astonishing combat power, and also plunged the entire MCI center into a death-like silence.

Only then did Tyronn Lue realize that he couldn't even pass the ball......

There was no surprise that there was a five-second service violation, and this time, even Doug Collins forgot to use a substitution to pause the time.

And when the ball is transferred to the supersonic hands, when the Wizards' defense has fallen off a cliff with the momentum to a degree that is visible to the naked eye.

Everyone understands that the Wizards lost.

Iguodala got rid of Harrington's defense, which was already on the verge of collapse, received this baseline ball, and then held the ball firmly in his arms, without even thinking of slapping it.

And with his 87% free throw shooting rate, the Wizards directly gave up the foul tactic.

6！

The players on the supersonic bench counted down frantically excitedly.

"Hey!" Yao Ming stretched out his hand to Sakuragi Hanamichi: "The last two free throws are good, I will find a way to crack your rogue tactics in the next game." ”

He said with a smile, and Sakuragi Hanamichi grinned at him and shook Yao Ming's hand.

5！

The countdown continues.

“you are good！”

There were still 5 seconds left, but Jordan had already stretched out his hand to Lin Dong: "However, you won't be so lucky in the next game!" ”

Lin Dong smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it.

Syllable!

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

122:126！

The score is frozen on the electronic scoreboard.

Payton and McMillan embraced, and the 34-year-old actually shed tears, although it was only G1, but it meant too much.

And the picture of the supersonic legend hugging also became the front-page headline photo published by many media the next day.

"We won!"
