Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 433 Lore
"Di!"

With the referee's whistle sounded, the game started again.

Rasheed Wallace served the ball from the sideline, and Billups easily caught the basketball in the backcourt.

Because the Pistons chose to receive the ball in the backcourt, the Sonics did not press full court.

It would be a lot of fun if the whole court pressed hard and if a mistake was made, allowing the Pistons captain to drive straight in.

Billups crossed the half-court line, and Gary Payton stepped forward, forcing Billups to protect the ball with his back.

Billups was not in a hurry, but looked up at the timer from time to time, silently counting the time.

Watching time tick by, with only the last 15 seconds left, the Pistons finally made a move.

Ben Wallace directly stepped outside the three-point line to cover, and Billups immediately broke through.

The Sonics' defensive principle is to make substitutions when encountering a pick-and-roll, but it does not include such situations.

Tactics are dead and must be used flexibly.

For example, in the current situation, Ben Wallace is not a threat at all when he steps outside the three-point line.

In this case, there is no need for a defender to follow him. Instead of following Ben Wallace, it is better to keep an eye on Billups.

PJ Brown did not choose to step outside the three-point line at all, but leaned appropriately towards Billups, preparing to help defend.

Gary Payton bypassed Ben Wallace's screen and immediately caught up with Billups, staying right next to him.

At the same time, PJ Brown consciously approached, forcing Billups to change his breakthrough route.

If you really dive in regardless, you will end up falling into the trap of Gary Payton and PJ Brown.

Fortunately, Ben Wallace retreated in time, trying to rush inside, which slightly affected PJ Brown's defensive focus.

At the same time, Billups didn't waste any time, leaving and giving the ball to Rasheed Wallace in the high post.

It's still the same tactic as before, and Hamilton is almost in position to catch the ball.

Only this time, Michael Reid followed more closely, which means that the Sonics' defense succeeded.

Paul Westphal was overjoyed, they were one step closer to winning, and the Pistons were forced into a corner.

At this time, Hamilton can only choose to force the shot, but the hit rate in this case will not be too high.

Just because he scored a goal last time doesn't mean he will score again this time.

As for reorganizing the offense, can we still organize the offense without looking at the time?
However, at this moment, Billups, who had just passed the ball and was still standing in the middle distance, pushed Gary Payton directly during the entanglement.

Gary Payton obviously pushed back, but by the time he reacted, Billups was already running.

Gary Payton yelled, alerting the referee to this point, and he immediately chased after him.

Sure enough, just as he expected, the referee didn't call a foul at all, so he couldn't expect it at all.

Gary Payton defended seriously, but the head coach and players on the SuperSonics bench had already jumped to their feet.

However, before they had time to question the referee, the situation on the court had changed again.

Billups, who got rid of Gary Payton, immediately rushed out of the three-point line and shouted at the same time to attract Hamilton's attention.

Hamilton also reacted quickly and immediately gave the ball to Billups. This was Billups at the top of the arc.

Without any hesitation, he took action immediately after receiving the ball.

Gary Payton chased with all his strength, and Kirilenko, not far away, also moved over quickly.

The two tried their best to block it, but unfortunately, they were still a little slow. Billups took action!

At this moment, the entire Auburn Hills Palace Stadium seemed to come to a standstill, and all sounds disappeared.

"Shh!"

77:79
The basketball just flew over everyone's heads, but did not hesitate to get into the net.

"boom!"

After a momentary pause, the scene boiled over again.

Billups also waved his fists excitedly and roared loudly, seeming to vent his frustration.

As for the Pistons fans at the scene, they were even more excited and a little unscrupulous.

"See, idiots, this is Detroit!"

"*%&#...Detroit is the champion, everyone get out!"

"Well done Chauncey, you're so fucking good."

……

Not only was the scene boiling over, but in fact, it was also boiling over on countless broadcast TV stations.

"Oh my god, the buzzer beater, the buzzer beater in the finals!"

"This is Chauncey, our Mr. Big Heart."

"We know, all of us know, that in critical moments, he can be trusted."

……

Wang Hao didn't waste any time, quickly reached the baseline, passed the ball to Gary Payton, and immediately called a timeout.

The reason why you have to serve first and then call a timeout is mainly to get the opportunity to serve from the front court after the timeout ends.

Because there are only 1.9 seconds left in the game, just less than two seconds.

In other words, you cannot even have much time to adjust after catching the ball, and you must complete the shot quickly.

For NBA players, completing a shot in 1.9 seconds is really not a big deal.

The real big thing is that if you want to guarantee a higher goal scoring potential, you need to give the ball to the player who is most sure of it.

For the SuperSonics, it's how to get the ball to Wang Hao.

"This is a foul, this is a foul!"

"Your calls murdered a game."

……

Paul Westphal was still protesting. He had no choice but to see the victory slip away. It was really annoying.

Not only him, Gary Payton also approached a referee to accuse Billups of his actions just now.

No matter who encounters this kind of penalty that can affect the victory of the game, it is impossible for him to lose his temper.

It's a pity that the referee can't change the decision. Isn't this a slap in the face?Absolutely impossible.

It’s not that Paul Westphal didn’t know, he was just venting and putting pressure on the referee.

After all, the game is not over yet, and the referee still needs to blow the whistle. This is the key.

Only with enough pressure can the referee be more cautious in the next whistle blow.

Paul Westphal is very experienced, at least he will not waste his time requesting a timeout.

"Listen, we have only one purpose from now on, to get the ball into Wang's hands.

Wang, you stand here later, Andre, find the right opportunity and give the ball directly to Wang. "

……

This is not the first time the Sonics have encountered this situation. There were many records during the training session.

Paul Westphal arranged many pick-and-rolls and various moving positions, just to create opportunities for Wang Hao.

Naturally, other people don't have any opinions, and they themselves know very well that this is the most certain thing.

"Okay, guys, take it easy!"

"We haven't lost yet, we still have time. Believe in Wang, he has done it countless times." "What's more, don't forget, we are in the lead now. Win this game and win the next game." , there is no difference.”

……

For the Sonics, this game is important. In fact, every finals game is important.

However, this is far from a life and death battle. This is a life and death battle for the Pistons.

Of course, this game is also important, especially for the Pistons' mentality.

After losing two games in a row, the Pistons' mentality has reached the edge of collapse and can no longer withstand any setbacks.

If they can win this game, then they may have the opportunity to go further and completely change their mentality and momentum.

This is obviously something the Sonics don't want to see. On the way to the finals, everyone hopes for something simpler.

With the referee's urging, players from both sides returned to the game again, and the SuperSonics also made substitutions.

Quentin Richardson replaced P.J. Brown. It was already obvious that the Sonics wanted to add more offensive players.

When trailing by two points, the Sonics actually still have a choice, whether to go for two points or three points.

If it's two points, it will continue to overtime, and if it's three points, it will be a fight.

Paul Westphal did not force it, he just handed the ball to Wang Hao and Wang Hao made the choice.

To be honest, Wang Hao himself was not sure when he was standing on the court. After all, whether he could catch the ball or not was still a question.

At that time, you will shoot wherever you receive the ball, and there will still be too many choices to make.

Kirilenko stood on the sidelines. As the referee's whistle sounded, he quickly observed after receiving the basketball.

The Sonics' positions are very spread out. If they are all crowded together, everyone will focus on Wang Hao, which will only make it more difficult for him to catch the ball.

Prince couldn't wait to stick to Wang Hao. Not far away, Hamilton and Billups also looked eager to try.

However, the presence of Gary Payton and Michael Reid made them afraid to double-team easily.

Hearing the referee's whistle, the SuperSonics players immediately took action, cooperating with each other in pick-and-rolls.

Wang Hao didn't waste any time. He turned around and rushed towards the inside. After all, two points were enough to equalize the score.

Prince didn't dare to be careless and quickly followed. He didn't want to watch Wang Hao get two more points.

When they can win as long as they hold on, no one in the entire Pistons team wants to go through overtime again.

It's just that Wang Hao, as the attacker, has the initiative.

He had just taken two steps toward the inside line when he suddenly stopped, turned around, and immediately ran toward the outside line.

Prince followed closely, and Rasheed Wallace, who was guarding Kirilenko's serve, also immediately moved towards Wang Hao.

However, there was still a moment of opportunity, and Kirilenko immediately passed the ball.

Prince was also willing to fight for it. He quickly grabbed the ball and reached out to interfere with Wang Hao's catch.

To be honest, such an action was considered a foul, after all, Wang Hao was so squeezed by him that he couldn't stand firmly.

It's a pity that at such a critical moment, the referee will not blow the whistle easily, and ordinary referees cannot handle the pressure of blowing the whistle.

Fortunately, Wang Hao's physical confrontation is not bad, at least he will not lose his position if he is slightly squeezed by Prince.

His slightly staggering steps quickly stabilized after taking a dribble to adjust.

The attack time of 1.9 seconds means that you can just adjust it. There is no time to waste at all.

I have to say that Prince's defense is really not bad, especially his defensive toughness, which is fully reflected.

Under his pressure, Wang Hao couldn't even fully adjust his body and looked sideways to the basket.

It's just that it's too late to delay, we must take action!

Wang Hao jumped up with all his strength, and also leaned back a little. After all, Prince's height and wingspan were here.

He held the basketball a little with his left hand, walked back a little while holding the basketball with his right hand, and then shot it.

To be honest, this is no longer a formal shooting action. Wang Hao just relied on his strong body control to throw the ball.

It was at this moment that Wang Hao's touch exploded completely, and the feeling of shooting flooded throughout his body in an instant.

Sometimes it's hard to explain things like shooting.

Sometimes, even in an unmarked wide open space, the shot may miss; sometimes, even the most incredible shot can lead to a goal.

"Di!"

At the moment the shot was taken, the end of the game sounded and the timer flashed red.

After the shot, Wang Hao was completely unsteady due to the huge inertia, and his feet kept retreating.

However, he didn't have time to pay attention to whether he could stand firm. All his attention was already focused on basketball.

Not just him, everyone's eyes were like this.

"No no!"

Prince shouted in a low voice, and there seemed to be some confidence bursting out of his words.

Because in the previous defense, he was very sure that he had interfered with Wang Hao's shot.

This seems to be the case!

Wang Hao's action this time was obviously irregular, and the route of the shot was obviously elevated.

To enter or not to enter?

Under the gaze of everyone, the basketball flew away and hit the backboard directly.

"Didn't come in?"

However, before the Pistons players could show their joy, the basketball rebounded and fell into the basket.

It's a long story, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Before many people had time to express their emotions, everything was settled!

80:79
"Dead kill! Counter kill!"

"Oh my God, King, our King, has accomplished an incredible feat!"

"Now, I have to announce to everyone that the God of Basketball has arrived, but this time, instead of wearing No. 23, he chose No. 9."

……

The host and fans at the Palace Arena of Auburn Hills were somewhat silent. Many people covered their heads with disbelief on their faces.

Victory is so close that you can even reach out and touch it, but it disappears in the blink of an eye.

However, the Pistons' silence did not affect the excitement of the major television broadcasts.

There is no way, this is really unbelievable.

This is the stage of the finals. Billups completed the buzzer-beater first with only 1.9 seconds left.

He has accomplished an incredible feat, and countless people even believe that the Pistons will win.

Originally, with a 2:0 situation, this game had become the Pistons' last stand and had to win.

As long as they win this game, the Pistons can get back on their feet and continue to fight the SuperSonics.

But who would have thought that opposite the Pistons, there would be an even more incredible guy standing.

Wang Hao, it only took him 1.9 seconds to shatter the dreams of countless people.

But now, in a 3:0 situation, for the Pistons, they are already on the edge of a cliff, and most of them have fallen off.
