Chapter 125 Then Only I Can Take It! (seeking subscription)

Minnesota is really good at surprises.

When the game drew to a close, a key shot came.

Garnett, who turned around and shot, leaned back a lot, with his straight arms stretched out, and Kemp couldn't cover it at all.

After the timeout, the Sonics serve from the sideline.

Choose to defend two points or defend three points?

Sanders believes that the Sonics must have gone through a trip to the Eastern Conference and must want to end the battle quickly, so the two-pointer is of little significance, and even if it is scored, it will be overtime.

So three-pointers?

He's not sure either. What's important these days is that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. Who would take this kind of shot as a lore? It's too reckless.

But time will definitely be consumed, and the Timberwolves will not be given a chance to launch a complete offense after the Supersonics finish.

Payton handles the ball on the outside, and the game goes by every second.

In 10 seconds, Payton began to lean over, sending a signal to attack.

He moves to the right with the ball and everyone pulls away.

Singles tactics?

Sanders' face turned pale. By the way, Marbury was defending him!How could I forget about this!

Marbury's defense is average, and he is still a rookie, very inexperienced, against Payton

After pulling away, Payton began to hit Marbury with his back, hitting him with strength.

Three seconds later, Payton turned around and dribbled the ball, ran over Marbury's defense and walked towards the baseline. The Timberwolves suddenly shrank the defense, and everyone's eyes were on Payton.

Attack the frame?

Minnesota fans put their hands on their chests, praying that Payton never made the shot.

Garnett also moved over, no matter what at this time, when Payton entered the penalty area, it must be man-marked!

But when Payton flew, the ball in his hand disappeared.

bad

Garnett secretly thought something was wrong, and turned around to see Jose Hawkins who was vacant.

The old guy catches the ball, tiptoes, and raises his hand to shoot, all in one go.

Doug West, who was defending him, pounced with all his strength.

Jose's focus is on the shot, and only the basket is left in his eyes.

When he took the shot, he felt that the ball was there.

The basketball is flying in the air.

in the eyes of all eyes

With a "swish", it entered the net crisply!

At this time, the red light is on

Lore, lore!

The Supersonic players were excited, but when they looked back, they found that Jose, who made the shot, was limping.

"what happened?"

George Karl is very nervous. Jose is the absolute main force of the Sonics and a famous iron man in the league. He has rested for five games in the first eight seasons of his career. Will he be injured at this time?

The players also surrounded the past.

The outcome of the game is temporary, Jose's health is the most important.

"It's okay, I'm cramping." Jose waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing wrong.

Everyone had a false alarm and let out a long breath.

At this time, the silent fans at the scene burst into cheers.

"what happened again?"

George Karl took a look. It turned out that the referee was looking at the replay camera, and the camera was so obvious that even the fans could see that the ball had crossed the line.

time to overtime

Sure enough, after watching the video repeatedly, the referee determined that it was a two-pointer that stepped on the line, and the Timberwolves escaped.

The Supersonic players were of course a little disappointed, and Jose also looked regretful. He could have made a lore, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Are you okay?" assistant coach Bob asked Jose.

Jose felt that he was okay. After the soreness passed, he slowly returned to normal.

"Take a break and replace Qin Fei." Unexpectedly, the head coach George Karl took the initiative to speak.

Jose was taken aback after hearing this.

Qin Fei thought that he could clock in and get off work in this game, but he didn't expect such a turnaround, he actually got the chance to play in overtime.

The players were not surprised by the head coach's arrangement. Although Jose didn't seem to have a big problem, protecting the players is also one of the most important things the head coach has to do. An ordinary game is not a critical moment for the playoffs. There is no need to take such a risk. It is normal to play on the bench.

It's just that this substitute is Qin Fei, which is somewhat surprising.

This is just a rookie who has just played in the NBA for a month.

"Come on, let's guard them and bring the victory back to Seattle." Payton clapped his hands before going on the court, loudly encouraging the morale of the players.

"Qin, guard against your people."

Peyton and Qin Fei said, and Qin Fei gave him an OK gesture.

The object of his defense is Doug West, a swingman who looks thinner than Sam.

In the middle circle, the two teams re-jumped the ball.

Garnett beat Jim, and the Timberwolves attacked.

Qin Fei was very excited, sticking to Doug like brown sugar. Doug had never matched up with Qin Fei before. As soon as this pair was on top, he instantly understood the "irritability" that Sam Mitchell said before.

"It's so annoying. This guy is almost inseparable from you. You can't get rid of him. He is like a ghost, and he has a pair of big hands that can steal quickly. Even if he can't steal, he will force you to make mistakes." Sam sighed that this level of defense should be matched with the starters, or the league's top scorers. Why bother to embarrass them, the second-rate ordinary players.

Well, now it's finally time to match up with the starters, and Doug is having a hard time.

"Then everyone don't score!"

After defending for 1 minute, Doug had no chance at all. He turned his gun and aimed at Qin Fei, and began to defend Qin Fei with all his strength.

Qin Fei is overjoyed, he likes others to be stubborn with himself!

The two played soy sauce all the way for two or three minutes. At this time, the Sonics took a 3-point lead in overtime.

The Timberwolves still chose to give the ball to Tom or Garnett. After Garnett missed a jumper, Tom squeezed Jim away from the basket and made a tip-up.

Jim is too light in weight. Although he can block shots, he is not strong in confrontation.

George waved his hand and replaced last season's main player, Sam Perkins.

As soon as Perkins stepped up, the inside body suddenly became much more generous, and there were not many opportunities for this kind of rush to make up the basket.

At this time, the two teams are tied at 110 and are at the same starting line.

"Keep an eye on people!"

Garnett shouted in the center, he has begun to play the role of leader in the second grade on the court, and the other players of the Timberwolves are used to it.

Payton is not the kind of player who makes the final decision. In his career, scoring and assists are equally important.

No one in the Timberwolves can defend him, they can only look forward to Garnett's help defense or the final supplementary defense.

For many people, their physical strength has bottomed out after 30 minutes of a game. For Payton, it was not until the overtime game at this time that he felt a little tired.

The free throw line is the most heavily defended area of ​​the Timberwolves. Payton broke through with the ball and still walked to the bottom line.

Garnett had no way to block in advance, but he always cared about Payton. Payton was under the basket.

Kemp took the ball and flew up. At this time, Garnett quickly turned and returned to the defense, and his flexibility was not like an insider at all.

After all, Garnett's defense worked. Although Kemp's offense was strong, his movements were somewhat deformed. The basketball hit the basket and the rebound was accepted by Garnett.

As far as the eye can see, Garnett is everywhere, and one person has already supported the prototype of a defensive system.

So Qin Fei is a melon-eating crowd. He doesn't go inside to fight melee, and he doesn't defend against the Timberwolves' arrows.

The time enters the last 1 minutes.

A white-haired reporter in his fifties was squatting on the bottom edge of the half-court, staring blankly at the black No. 21 raising his right hand high, with his index finger raised high. He, who had learned to control himself, couldn't help his blood boil.

This is Kevin Garnett who brings people passion, the future pillar of the Minnesota youth army.

"Attack, attack—"

All the fans roared in unison, trying their best to cheer for the home team.

At the last moment of the confrontation between the two teams, every point is the key.

In this wave of offense, the Timberwolves also chose the tactic of hitting the basket. Garnett faced Kemp's defense and scored the ball with one hand, half hook and half throw.

He has scored his 30th point and has 17 rebounds, the absolute highlight of his career.

"It's KG again! There are no more miracles, let's go home together!"

The local host in Minnesota yelled repeatedly and took a clear stand.

Kemp has tried his best to defend Garnett, but it can only set off the incredible and powerful No. 21.

Garnett has gone crazy, looking up to the sky and screaming.

"This damn blood!" At this moment, the fans believed that this was the wolf king they had been waiting for.

After the timeout, the Sonics kicked a sideline kick.

Qin Fei did his job conscientiously, and it seemed that he had nothing else to do except defending Doug.

In this wave of offense, the Supersonics still did not score, and the Timberwolves won the ball. With only 30 seconds left in the game, the balance of victory began to tilt sharply towards the Timberwolves.

"Waste time, don't foul!"

Sanders stood on the sidelines and waved, for fear that Marbury, who was in possession of the ball, would not be calm at the moment.

Marbury also panicked, the glove was by his side, frantically trying to steal.

In addition, Qin Fei's eyes are also very fierce. He still remembers that once before, the madman + glove teamed up to steal his ball.

He avoided crowds as much as he could before passing the ball to Tom Gugliota.

Payton couldn't empty Marbury, and every minute and every second was consumed.

When the 24-second attack time was running out, the ball returned to Garnett's hands, and he turned around and made a jumper in an angry way. This time he was farther away from the basket and missed the jumper.

Perkins protected the rebound.

There is no pause, only the last 7 seconds of time left.

Payton dribbled forward, raised his hand to block Marbury's hand, and rushed across the center line in the blink of an eye.

"Protect the rim!"

"Spread out the formation!"

There was a lot of chatter between the flashes and flints. The players could only rely on instinct and thousands of days of training to defend, and Payton, who was holding the ball, must have attracted a lot of attention.

Payton really wanted to come by himself for this ball, but found that he was double-teamed.

The rule of illegal defense does not mean that double-teaming is not allowed, but requires that the player who is away from his own marking should not exceed 3 seconds, and the distance is the length of an arm.

There are only a few seconds left in the time, and a double-team is enough.

Payton actually wanted to hit two points to find the success rate, so he had already reached the three-point line. When he double-teamed, he couldn't see the situation under the basket clearly. When he turned around, he happened to see a green figure coming out of his pocket with his hands raised to his chest.

What a trustworthy look, Payton subconsciously distributed the ball.

"Snapped!"

He put his hands together and grabbed the basketball.

Everyone's eyes turned from the ball holder Payton to the ball receiver Qin Fei.

He looked up and saw that the timer was down to the last second.

That's right, there is no one else at the critical moment, so I can only do it!

The arched body straightened and took off, leaping high.

The No. 18 jersey fluttered slightly, and the defensive player gritted his teeth and rushed over, feeling in his heart why did I have to defend the key ball every time?

In Qin Fei's world, everything seemed to be still. He pressed his wrist lightly, and the basketball was pulled out from his fingertips.

His body leans back slightly when he shoots the ball. From a frontal perspective, the defensive player can only touch the tip of his elbow.

His eyes were so firm and confident.

The basketball spun and flew high into the sky. At this time, the red light of the timer was on. Qin Fei landed, but his arms were still raised in the air.

Under the eyes of everyone, the orange basketball plunged into the center of the net like a cruise missile.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of entering the net resounded throughout the arena, and the air in the audience instantly froze
