Chapter 232 Quasi lore

   At this point, the timeout ends, the game resumes, and the Suns attack.

In the first seven minutes, Thorpe made 3 of 5 shots and scored 6 points. Pharaoh got two assists from him. Under the circumstance of Pharaoh attracting double teams, the offensive efficiency was good, and Westphal tasted the sweetness. Let him play in the second half.

  The outside is Danny Ainge, and Horry, and Kevin Johnson, protected Dan Marley, who had 11 points, and went back to the blood.

  Kevin Johnson has played for 39 minutes and only rested for 4 minutes. His physical energy consumption is also very high, and his advancing speed is very slow.

  The left wing is low, Wang Tiejun is in position, and the big dream is defending around the front.

   Old Wang observed the lightning near the top of the arc, the eyes of the two met for a moment, and he made a gesture behind Da Meng.

   The next moment, he suddenly turned around and made a bottom-slip action.

   At the same time, Kevin Johnson, who was near the top of the arc, suddenly pulled to the left wing, took the ball with both hands, pushed it in, and passed the ball.

At the moment Pharaoh slipped to the bottom, Da Meng's defense also broke out. Before the former's turning action was completed, he had come first, moved inward in one step, stepped into the paint area with his left foot, and cut off the arc. Top and Pharaoh's passing lines.

   He is sure that he can cut off the pass and catch line of the old K and the top of the arc all the way to the basket.

   "Not true.

   At this moment, he saw the ball from the top of the arc pass down, but the angle was wrong, not facing him and the old K behind him, but the position he had just now, one step away.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh turned around and returned to the low position on the left wing, just outside the paint area and received a pass from the Lightning.

   His bottom slip was a fake, because the gesture he just made was not a tactical gesture, but just a secret signal, telling Kevin Johnson, pass here, I'm here to catch the ball.

  The two have worked together for two seasons, and they are already very familiar with them. There are some secret codes that others don’t know.

   At the moment of catching the ball, he started a low post play.

  The left foot stepped inwards, and at the moment of approaching the big dream, it exploded by hitting.

   "Boom!"

   Da Meng, whose footing was unsteady, was bumped and staggered back.

   It's a pity that Wang Tiejun used his strength on both ends of the attack and defense today, and his physical strength was insufficient. He was not strong enough to knock him over directly.

   But it also won him a chance to get to the basket, stepped on the side of Da Meng, flew up, and smashed the basket with the ball in his right hand.

  Dameng was so anxious that he grabbed a hand and pulled it to Pharaoh's left arm.

   It's just that he pulled the wrong arm. With Wang Tiejun's current speed, explosive force and bouncing, he couldn't pull it at all.

"boom!"

   "Di!"

  The referee's whistle sounded at the same time as the ball smashed into the basket.

"damn it!"

  Dameng could not wait to chop off his hand, he committed five crimes, and was beaten two plus one.

"yeah!"

   Kevin Johnson and others stood up for joy, as did the Suns bench and more than a thousand away fans.

   "Oops, the big dream made five offenses. He didn't attack much today. He tried his best to defend the old K, and paid a huge price." Bill Walton said in surprise.

"It shouldn't be replaced. If the big dream ends, in the state of old K today, Barkley can't stand it alone. The old K and the Lightning will join forces to blow him up. Last season, the Big Three of the Suns knew each other very well. The opponent's weakness." John Hanks laughed.

   On the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Now the big dream is five offenses, Tiejun should keep an eye on him to fight, his defense will definitely weaken, otherwise Barkley will be unable to support him alone."

   "Great!" Su Qun said excitedly.

   On the field, Pharaoh made a penalty hit, 90:91, and the Suns were one point behind.

  Mosaic team's frontcourt, Da Meng ran continuously in and out of the paint area, using the faster one-speed movement ability, dropped Lao Wang, and got a short-term vacancy when he cut into the paint area.

   At this time, the Mosaic team has replaced the main controller Kenny Smith, but his ability is far less than that of Kevin Johnson. Under the best defense of the Lightning, he did not pass the ball in time, and the big dream had to leave the paint area first.

   But when he retreated to the low post on the left wing, Smith finally found an opportunity to pass the ball, where he received the ball and was held out by Wang Tiejun.

  Dameng's dreamy stride broke out, with his left foot as support and his right foot moving continuously.

   Old Wang resolutely adhered to his defensive strategy, that is, to guard against breakthroughs and not against shots. He didn’t care which side the big dream moved to, and he took half a step back and made preparations to continue to retreat.

   At this time, he sensed the big dream of the old queen retreating through his butt, and decisively turned around and made a jumper.

  Pharaoh took a half-step to seal the block, and the ball slipped over the tip of his finger.

"boom!"

  Basketball knocked in.

   was hit once, and Pharaoh doesn’t regret it. The hit rate of this kind of ball is not too high, and he can shoot as much as he dreams of, but he is not allowed to rush in and hit.

  90:93, Sun attack.

  The front court of the sun, the left wing was low, Wang Tiejun began to take the position, and the others pulled away, creating a chance for him to dream of a big singles.

   Danny Ainge is on the left-wing three-point line. Robert Horry's three-point shooting rate is not high. Head coach Westphal does not trust him very much and arranged for him to go to the weak side.

   Kevin Johnson got close to the top of the arc, passed the ball to Danny Ainge, and ran to the right wing to take the defender.

   After Danny Ainge received the ball, Mario Eli, who was on the spot, immediately pressed up, he immediately passed the ball down, and then ran to the bottom corner.

  Wang Tiejun received the ball and held it high, facing up, so that he could observe the situation on the weak side, so that Barkley on the weak side could not be seen by double-teaming.

   At this time, Mario Eli, who followed Danny Ainge, reached the left blocking area.

   The straight area of ​​the three-point line near the bottom line is only 6.7 meters away from the basket, which is 55 centimeters closer than the arc area. The distance between the blocking area and the paint area is close at hand.

   At this moment, Eli turned around suddenly and double-teamed him. He only took a step forward and came to his side, grabbing the ball held high by his right hand with both hands.

   His right hand gave way to pass Eli's steal, and then he threw the ball in the corner, and the ball flew over Eli's head to Danny Ainge.

   The next moment, he turned around and entered the paint area, ready to grab a rebound, and the same was true of Big Dream.

   As for Eli, he hurriedly turned around to defend Danny Ainge.

  Unfortunately, as soon as he turned around, he saw that Danny Angie had jumped up.

"brush!"

  The water splashed and the three-pointer hit.

  93 level, Mosaic attack.

   "Beautiful, an open three-pointer, the old Danny Ainge is still very accurate in making such a three-pointer without a defender." Bill Walton laughed.

John Hanks laughed: "The Suns have two pitchers on the field now, Horry and Danny Ainge have no ball-handling ability, all they have to do is run out of the open, wait for the pass, and then shoot. "

   Looking back, Da Meng once again took the ball in the low position on the left wing. Under the dreamy pace, he wanted to shake Pharaoh and then rushed in to play a shot.

   But Pharaoh firmly implemented his defensive strategy, preferring to be thrown one rather than letting Da Meng break through, and retreating directly.

  Dameng swayed a couple of times and then turned around and slipped to the bottom. He happened to be blocked on the bottom line by the retreating defense, forcing the former to almost make a mistake and could only close the ball.

  Pharaoh ignored Da Meng's elbow and went up to grab it. Although he suffered an elbow, it formed a scuffle and the referee blew his whistle.

  The free throw line, the two face each other, ready to fight for the ball.

"Snapped!"

  Dameng's bounce is still stronger, and his physical condition is better. He swiped the racket away, just as Barkley got the ball, jumped in place, and hit a mid-range shot.

  93:95, Sun attack.

   Came to the low post on the left wing again, still the old tactics, pull away, singles.

   This time, Mario Eli didn't dare to double-team easily.

   And Danny Ainge is very experienced, he has no fixed position, he keeps moving on the three-point line, and does not give Elie a chance to double-team.

   "Boom!"

There was no dribble, and Tieshan, who was on the spot, had a neither light nor heavy hit. Pharaoh slammed it first, got the shot space, then got up immediately, and sent his right hand up with the ball, thanks to his big hand. , the action of the shot is very realistic.

  Da Meng was not shaken, showing good defensive skills, and pressed himself to the floor abruptly.

   However, his body was swayed up and his center of gravity was sluggish, which made his next defensive reaction move half a beat slower.

   And this half-time, Lao Wang caught it.

  Between the dribble, the left foot went inward, and Tieshan broke out instantly.

   "Boom!"

   Big dream with a vain center of gravity was knocked over head-on, and he stepped on the former's side, and after entering the paint area, his figure burst out.

Barkley moved from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket. Seeing the ferocity of Old K, he knew that his small body couldn't stop him. The basket was blown up.

   "Brother, why don't you guard against me? You must not show mercy. I really want to try what it's like to knock you out."

  The Pharaoh who succeeded was excited and spat out trash talk at Barkley.

"roll!"

  Buckley scolded angrily with his eyes wide open.

  Pharaoh laughed, and Kevin Johnson, who was also laughing, quickly started to defend.

  95 level, Mosaic team attacked.

   After such a few rounds, there are only 33 seconds left in the time, 102 draws, the Mosaic team has the ball, and a timeout is called.

   Once again tied, Zhang Lili also felt very nervous, and analyzed: "Today, Barkley has scored 40 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists, and Da Meng scored 25 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 7 blocks. The performance is also extraordinary.

   On the Suns side, Kevin Johnson scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists. The Iron Army is now 11 of 19 shots, 8 of 14 penalties, and has 30 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, 5 blocks, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls. "

  Suqun asked nervously: "Director Zhang, analyze it, do you have a chance to win it tonight?"

   Zhang Lili said while thinking: "There is definitely a chance. Now that the draw is tied, it is very likely to win. Let's look at the final tactics and execution. Luck is also very important.

   Honestly, the Suns have played really well like this, playing very well, better than the four regular season games.

Specifically, the big dream and Barkley scored 65 points together, the Iron Army and the Lightning teamed up for 52 points, the Mosaic team's rebounds are now 47, the Suns are 38, a difference of 9 points, from these data, The Suns are going to lose.

   But the assists of the Suns are very good. The Tiejun and the Lightning teamed up to deliver 19 assists, and the team had a total of 29 assists, while the Mosaic team had only 21 assists, and the offensive efficiency was not as good as the Suns.

How should I put it, the Mosaic team's offense relies too much on the two giants, while the Suns are relatively average. In addition to the Iron Army and the Lightning, there are three others who scored in double figures, Dan Marley 14 points, Green 10 points, Danny Ainge 10 points, Thorpe also got 6 points, Horry 6 points.

   In addition, the Suns had 10 steals, 7 blocks, 9 turnovers, and 18 fouls, while the Mosaic had 9, 13, 11, and 21 respectively.

In terms of the number of shots, although the Suns' rebounds and blocks are not as good as their opponents, they are better in other aspects. The shots are not at a loss. The Suns have 76 shots and the Mosaic team has 80 shots. It's no surprise that it was a draw. "

   The timeout ends and the game resumes.

   Comrade Pharaoh, who was exhausted, slowly stepped onto the stage.

   He didn't attack much in the last quarter, and he didn't have many attacks in the next four minutes, but his physical energy consumption was not small, because in positional battles, the ball was basically handed to him first, and he was attracted to double-teams.

   At this time, Da Meng's physical fitness was actually not very good. Like Lao Wang, he exploded in all directions, and he didn't dare to have any strength at both ends of offense and defense. He was very tired.

   He went into the frontcourt, stayed on the left wing, Barkley pulled on the right wing, and the Suns were pulled to the basket.

  Kenny Smith held the ball outside for a few seconds, then suddenly passed the ball to Vernon Maxwell on the right-wing three-point line, and then went over to do a pick-and-roll to screen his teammates for a breakthrough.

When the    burst to the right elbow, Thorpe came to make up the defense, Vernon Maxwell gave the ball to Barkley, who calmly made a jumper and hit a ball.

   "Barkley is really stable at the critical moment." Zhang Lili said with admiration.

   "102:104, there are 12 seconds left, old K will give him back." Su Qun shouted.

   On the court, the Suns served and called a timeout.

   The defensive tactic I set up last time was unsuccessful, so this time I have to set up an offensive tactic.

   "Attention, they must be the last shot of the old K, Hakim, must guard the last ball. Charles, if Thorpe pulls out, you don't have to follow it, just at the basket."

   On the Mosaic bench, Tomjanovich warned.

   The time-out ends, the game starts, and the front court sideline serves.

   "No, Thorpe went down, is it AC Green?" Barkley was startled.

  The left line, Robert Horry serves, when Kevin Johnson suddenly withdraws, he passes the ball.

  Kevin Johnson took the ball and took another step out, blocking the approaching Kenny Smith with one hand, and then went to the right wing.

   Consecutive large-scale transfers, and the attack time quickly reached 8 seconds.

   At this moment, the left wing was low, Wang Tiejun rose up his courage, and suddenly came a close-fitting Tieshan support, bumping into the big dream.

  Da Meng's center of gravity was shaken, he took the opportunity to bypass the opponent and cut into the paint area.

   "Pass! Ouch, late!"

   Zhang Lei roared excitedly.

  It turned out that Kevin Johnson was entangled by Kenny Smith, and the ball did not come in at the most suitable moment.

  Barkley was originally going to stay in the basket, but the Suns were on Green, so he didn’t dare to let go, so he could only follow out. At this time, he could only abandon Green and hurried back to the basket.

   "Whoosh!"

  Kevin Johnson didn't find a chance to pass, and could only pass the ball to Green who was open.

   Green received the ball, and Barkley quickly turned back to defend. The former pushed directly with both hands, and the ball flew to the old K who reached the basket.

   Three seconds later, Pharaoh saw that the ball was passed to Green, and suddenly hit the big dream beside him with an iron mountain.

   The reason for relying on a hit is that Green may pass in if he knocks the defender away. If he doesn’t pass, he also has a better chance to grab a rebound. In short, at the last moment, fight.

   He made the right bet. As soon as he hit the big dream, the ball flew over, and he quickly became violent.

   "Fake!"

  Dameng's strength and tonnage were not enough, and his center of gravity was bumped. When he reacted, he was half a beat slower, unable to keep up with Old K's getting up.

   At this time, he couldn't care about it, he directly hugged him, hugged the jumping old K, and then pulled down.

"boom!"

   "Di!"

   The sound of frying the basket and the whistle sounded at the same time.

"yeah!"

  The Suns cheered with excitement from on and off the court to the auditorium.

   On the other side of the Mosaic team, it was dead silence.

   The referee who blew the whistle actually didn't want to blow it, because at the end of the game, everything had to be left to the players to solve by themselves, but the foul was so obvious that he had to blow it.

   At this time, he walked up to Da Meng, made a six-foul penalty, and signaled Da Meng to leave the game.

   "Shet! Shet!"

   Big dream with red eyes was so angry that he cursed, but he could only accept the result.

   Zhang Lili said excitedly: "An extra free throw, as long as the penalty is made, the Suns will win the game."

  Su Qun said excitedly: "There are only 1.3 seconds left, so there should be no chance."

  Wang Tiejun walked to the free throw line at this time, preparing for the most crucial free throw.

   "Shhh!"

   From the moment he got the ball, the Compaq Center was caught in a sea of ​​boos.

   He took one deep breath, started dribbling, got up after six, took another deep breath, and threw the ball in his hand to the hoop against the distractions behind the basket.

"Oops!"

  As soon as the ball is released, you will know that it is wrong and you will use a lot of strength.

  I saw the basketball crossed a slightly flat arc and hit the backboard with a bang...

   At this moment, everyone on the Suns side was suffocated.

   But the next moment, the basketball bounced off the board and went down through the basket.

"yeah!"

   The excitement in the hearts of all the Suns exploded instantly.

"Ha ha…"

  Pharaoh laughed excitedly.

   "Shet!"

   Da Meng, who was sent off, was so depressed that he died.

The   Mosaic team immediately called a timeout, which was their last short timeout.

   Soon, the timeout ends, the game starts, and the front court sideline serves.

  Small forward Mario Elie served, the others ran around, and finally Barkley made a back run, caught the ball on the left wing, and immediately rolled over for a jumper.

  Everyone is staring at the ball flying to the basket. This ball will decide the outcome of the G1 game. If you score, Barkley will lore the old team, the Suns. If you don't score, the Suns will win.

  Barkley himself was looking forward to his last lore in the Western Conference Finals. He stared at the basketball with his mouth open, hoping to see a picture of a sword piercing his heart.

"Ugh!"

   The next moment, he couldn't help sighing.

"boom!"

   The moment before he sighed, the ball bounced off the basket and was short.

   "Di, Di Di!" The referee blew the final whistle.

"yeah!"

   All the people on the Suns side, from players to fans, rejoiced.
