Defending champion

Chapter 321 At the critical moment

Chapter 1

At this critical moment, no mistakes are allowed between the two sides, no matter which side it is.

Peja Stockovic and Butler were running at each other on the baseline, from one side of the half court to the other, then turned around and back, and Battier and Alston kept running. I can't understand why they did this, but at this critical moment, I feel that I can't allow a single mistake to occur, so they stick tightly to the two of them, but where is their mind?
It's all on that dreadful Jack!

When Peja Stockovich came outside the three-point line on the right, turned around again, and was about to run back, Battier stopped his body and waited for Peja Stockovic habitually run back.

The mutation starts in a second!

At this moment, Jack, who was dribbling the ball, made a fake move of shaking his shoulders, as if to break through the defender McGrady.

At this time, McGrady was like a frightened bird. After a little bit of turmoil, he began to panic, and Jack's defensive focus couldn't help taking a few small steps back.

Jack seized this opportunity. Jack lowered his center of gravity, and his swooping posture was like a sharp knife, piercing the Hornets' penalty area.

Jack's breakthrough attracted the attention of all Rockets players. After the Rockets players saw the breakthrough Jack, they tightened the encirclement to form an airtight wall, trapping Jack inside... …

Double-teaming defense is a good strategy for defending superstars, but double-teaming means leaving other players free.On the other hand, double-team defense is also a gambling defensive strategy.If you can block it, you win, otherwise it will become a huge defensive loophole.

Adelman dared to use this defensive strategy of double-team defense, which was completely based on Jack's performance in the first half of the fourth quarter to formulate this set of defensive strategies for Jack.

However, this time he found that he was wrong.What he never imagined was that Jack, who had already played singles for almost the entire fourth quarter, would pass the ball at such a critical moment. No one would have thought of it.

"Oh, after Jack made a breakthrough, he encountered a double-team defense from five players. Jack passed the ball at this critical moment. Jack chose to pass the ball, and Jack passed the basketball in his hand." Sitting on the commentary seat Charles Barkley explained passionately.Charles Barkley also regarded himself as Jack, and he put himself completely on the court.

"Oh, oh, oh... Leaking people, hurry up!" Kenny Smith, who was supporting the Rockets next to him, also opened his mouth wide, and he could almost put an egg in it.

A big stride of Jack, Jack gave McGrady a half-step, Jack pierced the Rockets' restricted area...

The same Mutombo, who was on the inside line, uttered a loud roar, opened his hands, and greeted him like a mad tiger.

The second step, the third step, Jack jumped up. Although he jumped up on the three-second zone line, no one had considered whether it was possible to score. Hayes jumped horizontally, and Mu Tombo raised his hands and jumped up, and McGrady, who was right behind Jack, also yelled, jumped up from Jack's back, and stretched out his hands to reach Jack who was holding the basketball high.

One touch will affect the whole situation, this is the supreme pressure brought by Jack!
Jumping high, Jack suddenly turned around in the air, and actually faced Hayes and Mutombo obliquely.

With a childlike smug smile on Jack's face, he shook his hands and passed the ball.

Peja Stockovic has been lying in ambush on the three-point line for a long time, what he is waiting for is now, looking at the growing basketball in front of him, Peja Stockovic's face is like a child big smile.

See the already missed Hornets shooter - Peja Stockovic.Maddy's face was completely pale all of a sudden.At the same time, there was an earth-shattering roar.

This is panic, this is howling, and this is even more helpless.

The ball is taken from Peja Stockovic's hand, and it draws a beautiful arc and flies to where it wants to go.

"brush!"

With a heavy bang, it hit the hearts of every member of Jiuzhong like a heavy hammer.

From this second, the entire audience fell into deathly silence.

After the shot, Peja Stockovic couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and burst out from Jack with a big laugh.

Adelman gritted his teeth, with a dejected look on his face, he couldn't care less.He stepped onto the court immediately after Alston dribbled the ball through half court and asked the referee for a timeout.

"Oh, Peja Stockovic..." Charles Barkley deliberately prolonged the name Peja Stockovic.

Kenny Smith, who was next to Charles Barkley, had a displeased face, a face uglier than a bitter melon.

Seeing Kenny Smith deflated, Charles Barkley was very happy. He explained passionately: "There are still 32 seconds left in the game, and the Hornets are still behind with a three-pointer. As long as they can defend In this wave of offense, the Hornets still have a great chance of winning. It depends on how Adelman arranges this offense."

After a short period of disappointment, Kenny Smith walked out of the disappointment, "Dude, do you think the Hornets will win the final game until now?"

"Of course, it is undeniable that the Hornets still have a chance, if they can defend against this wave of offense."

"You said it's an if, but do you think there will be many ifs in this world?" Kenny Smith replied mockingly.

Charles Barkley did not take his words, because he knew that Kenny Smith was the kind of person who would not cry without seeing the coffin.

"Even if the Rockets' offense doesn't make it this time, the time left for the Hornets is less than 10 seconds. At the very least, the Rockets are in a normal period of time." Invincible." Kenny Smith said.

Seeing Kenny Smith buzzing like a fly in his ear, "Kenny, I don't want to talk nonsense, and you don't use these excuses to comfort yourself. In fact, you also know in your heart Did the Rockets lose today..." Charles Barkley shot back.

In the middle of the quarrel between Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, the long whistle of "beep..." sounded, and the time for the Rockets' final timeout was run out.

"Now is not the time to be happy, everyone must calm down, hold the ball, must hold it! Then, we still have an attack time, the situation is very favorable to us, everyone must grasp it! Got it!" Byron Si Kurt suppressed his violently beating heart, and loudly instructed all the players of the Hornets.

The Rockets' offense, the Rockets still handed the ball to McGrady as usual, and McGrady dribbled the ball leisurely through halftime, controlling the rhythm of the Rockets' offense.It shouldn't be the Rockets who are in a hurry now. The Rockets are still leading by 3 points.Now for the Rockets, the most important thing is the hit rate rather than others.

As soon as McGrady dribbled the ball for halftime, Jack immediately lifted it up from the inside and attacked McGrady, pressing the defense.If this kind of ball is not pressed tightly, McGrady will definitely not throw the ball.

McGrady, who was dribbling the ball, was watching and defending himself, and Jack was the one who hated McGrady.However, McGrady still maintained a very clear head at this time.He knows that the game is more important than personal grievances.

"Tracey, it seems that you are just making a name for yourself? Compared with your good friend Kobe Bryant, you are much worse." Jack's trash talk is merciless, and he only picks on McGrady's pain to attack.

"You bastard, what are you talking about? I won't let you go, rookie, I will never let you go." What McGrady is most upset about is comparing himself with others.

McGrady's dribbling action suddenly became faster, the ball moved quickly between his feet, and with the movement of his hands, McGrady's whole body shook, making it impossible to predict where he would go next.McGrady is the league's leading scorer, that's not what he boasted.

Even Jack is the same, Jack can't judge the route of his breakthrough, Jack can only try his best to lower his center of gravity, watching the slight flicker of McGrady's shoulders.

At this moment, Jack was not nervous. On the contrary, he was calm. He believed that he could guard against it, and he believed that he was the final winner of this game.

Maddie!

bring it on!Let's fight it out!
McGrady moved, and when the ball just bounced from the bottom of his legs to his right hand, his left and right feet suddenly lifted up, and he stepped out obliquely, and then he exerted force with his right foot. The speed exploded to the limit.

"Shoot!" Jack let out a loud roar, he stepped forward with his left foot, his right foot followed immediately, and he stretched out his left hand to block it.

The forces collide with each other, sparking eye-catching sparks!

Can't stop it!

A thought flashed through Jack's mind, and when his fingertips touched Maddie's hot and wet arm, it slipped past and he couldn't catch it!

Lu Di took another step, forcibly rushed under Yan Yufeng's arm, then hugged the basketball tightly in his arms with both hands, and took three steps towards the basket.

McGrady deserves to be the scoring champion for two consecutive terms, and breakthrough is among the top players in the league.Moreover, he is still angry.The anger made his offense more aggressive.

Chandler and David West rushed forward frantically, pressing over from both sides, ready to close the door to defend!
"Who can stop me!" McGrady roared, and bravely rushed over.

When Chandler and David West closed the door, McGrady slanted and squeezed through it, and took the last step. The exhausted McGrady lifted the ball high and pushed it to the basket.
