Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 337 Yes, That Was It
Sometimes the most painful thing is not to meet failure, but you know you have a chance, but you dare not face it...

In the locker room, Ron hung his head...

(illusion...)
"Hey... what's the matter with you?" Scarlett smiled and leaned over, kissing his cheek...

"I'm fine...I..." He contained tears, his mouth was trembling..."I'm just...just a little tired...I think they, like me... lost their way on the road of life..."

"Listen, don't give up no matter what..." She smiled and said warmly: "Yes, always believe in yourself..."

...

(Passionate scene...)
"McGrady strolls across half court with the ball, he looks at the clock on the wall, 1:22..."

"McGrady's block break against Wall! He throws the ball... The referee's whistle is blown! He's fouled! Washington's coach showed his skills in the last minute

Rongzhi...would rather put you to the free throw line than score in open play..."

"...two free throws, 8 points difference..."

...

"Wall is stalling for time... His 'ugly move' has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the fans at the scene...Indeed, the Houstonians have been fighting against you from the beginning to the end...How dare you take away the victory of the game with such a dirty move?"

"...24 second violation! Webster would rather not shoot at the last minute than let the Houstonian launch a fast break..."

"...Defend for the next 24 seconds, but there is not much time left. McGrady frowned and rushed again...He now shoulders the fate of the Houstonians, because he is also the only Mesozoic player on the team..."

...

"Don't have so many people staring at him! Bledsoe! And James Harden is the key!" The Wizards coach shouted at his players outside the court.

The Wizards half-empted O'Neal, and the latter was still wandering outside the 3-point line, actively picking and rolling... Instead, they bet the key to victory on several outside players of the Rockets...

Shane Battier, Derek Bledsoe, James Harden…

"The saddest thing right now is Paul George. This first-year rookie has already shed tears on the field... But his attitude of taking responsibility makes people more optimistic about his future... You must know that only a leader will take the team's winning or losing as his own responsibility... Although he scored 33 points before, most of them were stolen in the first half..."

"Another rookie, Cousins, was waving the towel passionately. He knew in his heart that it was because of his lack of composure that the Rockets could only leave the old Shaquille O'Neal on the court at the last moment to play the first and fourth juniors...It sounds so mysterious, a cumbersome shark participating in the fast break?"

"O'Neal goes down! The time has only passed by 4 seconds! They must not want to see the Wizards lose two points so quickly..."

"O'Neal was unguarded! He opened his hands for the ball... But behind him, there are already 2 Wizards players blocking... What??!!"

Accompanied by the narrator's strange cry...

Even Ron in the locker room suddenly raised his head and stared at the TV—a super long-range 3-pointer on the screen, when Wall was caught off guard, and under the expectant eyes of all the fans...

"Three!"

That's the ICBM from Maddie pulling the rocket back from hell!

The gray trajectory pierced the sky and roared directly towards the basket!

Swish!Hollow into the frame!

...

(Time. Just announced the return to the Rockets...)
"Nobody steals my talent..."

"I was just tired and took a nap..."

"There is no doubt that I will be an All-Star. Not now, next season. Next season I will be an All-Star player, there is no doubt about it." He smiled and nodded to all the reporters: "Yes, next season...I-WILL-BE-BACK...true!"

(Time. After the All-Star selection...)
"...Is this thing true? Oh..." His expression didn't look like he was cheating: "Uh, I usually don't pay attention to these things now...and this is the secret of our winning streak..."

"...Slam dunk? God, (smiling) please let me go, I can't even sprint to speed up now...What? You said that dunk today? No...no...I don't think it's good, it almost made me fall to the waist...It makes me feel scared..."

"How many points did you score in the All-Star Game? (laughs) Uh, 4...maybe, 6...you can't say...it depends on whether they are playing for real..."

"...Yes, for me, this is an honor...but I want to share this honor with my teammates...You know, I can't play so well if I switch to any team now...Yes, it's not so much that they chose me, it's better that God gave me one last chance..."

(Time. 33 straight wins...Los Angeles...)
"Hey! You're looking good, McGrady! How's that for you soloing Kobe a few times today?"

He shrugged and smiled wryly...

"...Looks like breaking the record is close, huh? I saw your teammates shouting, breaking the record... 34 consecutive wins celebration party..."

"Uh... If it were me, I wouldn't... We shouldn't underestimate any opponent...Even if we win the game, we have to adjust our emotions and face the next game... You know, if you don't win the O'Brien Cup, even if you win 100 consecutive victories, it won't help..."

……

"...What is your salvation? Score? Glory? Championship? Return to the top?"

"... Me?" He laughed: "My salvation is..."

...

"Look! Look at Maddie!"

"...what is he doing?"

"He...he's laughing! Yes! That's right! He's actually laughing!"

McGrady, who rushed to the Washington position again, smiled...

It was a kind of weather-beaten love for the familiar environment and for the sport of basketball...

He sat on the ground and pulled the rod freely, swaying past Webster easily, and then half-push and half-suddenly came to a large cross-over!

"It's unbelievable? McGrady has almost scored a season of breakthrough points this season... Is he going to choose to attack by himself this time?!"

The elegant figure was agile, and it only took 5 seconds to turn the Wizards' restricted area upside down...

McGrady, who is used to seeing him playing team basketball, when he switched to killing mode at this moment, everyone on the scene was stunned...

Even Ron, who was just discouraged, started staring at the big screen, dumbfounded...

After a moderately difficult back kick, he rose from the frame, with a gravitational force upward, and then landed very gracefully...

"... ACH!"

"...OMG!"

"fuck-god!"

"Wow~~~~"

It was silent for the whole second half, until now, the Toyota Center is boiling again!

People rushed to celebrate each other, as if they had expected, they were as excited as the result of the final game...

From 10 points to 8 points...

From 8 points to 5 points...

The time was exactly 24 seconds, only 3 points away, and all Houstonians were revived with full blood!

George stood up staggeringly, and rushed to the scene (Washington paused), Cousins ​​punched fiercely again and again, even O'Neill had his waist stuck, with an unbelievable expression...

Yes, he's back...

He finally fulfilled his promise...

Barkley: "It's incredible!"

"...every time, when a team trails the opponent by 1 or 7 points in the last minute, who do you think of?"

"Without a doubt! McGrady!"

"35 seconds 13! Yes! 35 seconds 13! He is trying to repeat history! He made an unbelievable long shot!"

"Houston hasn't given up yet! At the last moment, they finally played the kind of offense that was pleasing to the eye before!"

...

"3 points!"

"24 seconds is an obscure number! If it's just time-consuming, you may lose... If I were the coach of Washington, I would let Wall go suddenly! Go foul! Houston's inside line is already quite weak!"

Seems to have heard the narrator's words, paused back, and Washington began to storm!
"Wal is here!"

"Wal slipped in the penalty area! The referee didn't say anything!"

"...Wizards players don't have time to complain, go back to defense! Bledsoe is riding the dust!"

"Three-point shot! Is there any?"

"The ball hit the back edge!"

"Ball bouncing high! McGee almost got the rebound! Is it over for Houston? Is it over?"

...

three steps...

When running, renew all the strength in the body...

Then it rises instantly like Mount Tai pressing down on the top...

Only when the height of the defender is above the height of the defender, it is possible not to be called an offensive foul...

Suppress all your emotions first and gently put your hands on the ball...

Then burst out all his strength like a landslide and tsunami!

Clash Huashan in anger!

"Only-shit!"

"Woooooooo!"

"Un~~~unbelievable!"

The Toyota Center is just insane!
The referee whistles at the same time!McGee blocks the foul!
The place is boiling!
DJ used all his strength to deliberately create the passion of that moment: "Tracey~~~~~~~~McGrady!"

2+1!

It is 2+1 that remembers the resurrection of the dead!

At the last moment, even Yao Ming stood up excitedly...

And he still didn't say anything, just nodded silently in front of the crazy shouts of the audience, and stood calmly on the free throw line...

Yep, the ball game isn't over yet...

...

When the penalty hit is made, let alone the Rockets, there is not enough time for the Washingtonians...

10 seconds...

You have to face the wanton noise of tens of thousands of fans in the Toyota Center, and you have to face the Rockets players who are chasing and intercepting you...

Wall couldn't find his way, time was ticking, and he was nailed to the dead corner just after halftime...

"Hi!" The unmarked Webster shouted anxiously at him...

"It's time for the countdown! The referee has already put the whistle in his mouth!"

It's just two people encircling and blocking, but the deadly gap is infinitely magnified...

Wall sent the ball out at the last minute...

Webster couldn't wait to make a move and voted!

It's just that on the trajectory of the ball, it was impartial, and a slender hand hit the ball with a palm...

...

Maddie!

Thousands of miles together!Break the turbidity!
The whole pitch is trying to stop him!

When he ran beyond the three-point line, soaring into the air...

Like a pair of long black dark devil wings growing from behind...

He flew up, higher and higher...

shot!
Even God was moved to cry!

...

"Only a few people can really penetrate into a young man's heart and see if he really has confidence in himself... You can sign him according to his ability, but he must first build confidence in order to succeed... McGrady is the same..."

"Once he's confident, he's going to be able to produce results... It's just that most scouts only make decisions based on what he sees... If things don't work out, keep looking... This is the NBA... A lot of people are called, so few are left..."

...

"Yes, make the best use of everything, and make the best use of people's talents... All this is the law of nature-survival of the fittest..."

...

"...don't think about it so much Tracy...you are no longer the All-Star you used to be, if you can still be like that, you won't just get our calls..."

...

"So...you have to find the 'survival ability' that suits you on the court...and this will be the root of your ability to continue playing and enjoy the fun of basketball..."

...

"...wait a minute! He didn't shoot!"

"...that's a pass!"

"...Who is under the basket?"

"It's James Harden!"

"Oh my god! Even we bystanders didn't notice the existence of this guy. How did McGrady find out?"

Harden dunks at the buzzer!

The moment the ball flew into the net, the timer sounded at the same time...

lore...

...

He raised his hands high and ran towards McGrady...

Not only him, everyone knows how to reciprocate kindness...

Amidst the warm cheers from all the fans, the Toyota Center began to rain "colorful stripes"...

All hugged together, bouncing and jumping, opening their mouths and singing the rocket song...

Although it was just a false alarm in the end, how many people were worried before that?

Only McGrady was left with a smirking grin. He seemed to have not woken up. With those thick sleepy eyes, he said comfortably: "Yes, that was the case at that time."

　"Yes, make the best use of everything, and make the best use of people's talents... All this is the law of nature-survival of the fittest..."
