The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 268 The Third Buzzer

"It's my fault." Owen was a little depressed. He should have killed the game with one blow.

James is not here, he led the team to defeat the Thunder, what a perfect script.

The meaning of this sentence is not to admit mistakes, but the declaration of the stadium boss, and then he will lead the team to victory.

"We will win." Zhang Xiaotian said firmly.

David Blatt nodded and began to arrange tactics, asking the players to pass the ball more to create opportunities.

Owen was a little discouraged. In the absence of James, it seemed that Zhang Xiaotian was even more stealing the limelight.

He has no objection to Zhang Xiaotian, Zhang Xiaotian's performance at critical moments has brought the team several victories, victory is always pleasing, and Zhang Xiaotian is much more likable than Waiters.

As the game continued, Owen also calmed down a lot. Seeing that the offensive opportunity was not good, he played a pick-and-roll with Love.

There are also risks for the Thunder to play a major and a minor, but Love has an advantage in the paint.

Durant may still be able to make a top shot. When the pick-and-roll is replaced, Love catches the ball and presses in and is about to make a layup. The Thunder can only foul and send Love to the free throw line.

Love made two free throws, and the advantage came to the Cavaliers again, because there were only about forty seconds left in the game.

The Thunder did not make a mistake at this time, and Westbrook and Durant also came to cooperate with a pick-and-roll.

The defenses on both sides were pick-and-roll and substitutions. Durant didn't care about Irving who was replaced, and he pulled up and hit again.

Strong enough, Zhang Xiaotian wiped off his sweat, he should attack decisively.

At the same time, he is even more yearning for the existence of the All-Star level. It is really exciting to change the game by himself.

The Cavaliers attacked, Zhang Xiaotian slipped past the baseline, Irving faked a pass, and the rhythm changed instantly to kill inside. The Thunder's defensive players immediately formed a pocket shape.

Ou Wenyi was a bold man, he accelerated sideways and started straight away.

The referee's whistle sounded, and he managed to get a foul.

When the ball hit the basket and bounced out, Irving missed a rare free throw.

The foul just now hit him firmly, and it may have some influence.

Irving took a deep breath and made the second free throw, 102:101.

The Thunder requested a timeout, and after some arrangements, they still let Westbrook and Durant play pick-and-rolls.

This time, Dellavedova was actually asked to switch defenses. Durant didn't block it, but the ball was still in Durant's hands.

Durant turned around and leaned against Zhang Xiaotian, sat inside for a while, but found that he couldn't move.

10 seconds had passed, Durant turned around and wanted to wipe it inside, but Zhang Xiaotian stopped him from turning around completely.

Owen saw Durant staggering, and immediately surrounded him.

This is a strategy formulated by the Cavaliers. Whether it is Westbrook or Durant playing, they will attack whenever they have a chance. It doesn't matter if you let Robertson go a little bit.

Several people on the Thunder field have a clear division of labor. Robertson and Adams are mainly defensive, and they don't have much confidence in offense. I believe that the Thunder dare not put their treasure on them at the last moment.

Sure enough, Durant didn't pass the ball, but his behavior also exceeded Zhang Xiaotian's expectations.

Durant staggered and took advantage of the situation. He fell backwards, which was a different kind of backwards, and Zhang Xiaotian couldn't interfere at all.

Impossible, Zhang Xiaotian also shouted in his heart, completely lost his balance.

Wow, Durant lost his balance, but the basketball in the air fell into the basket with a beautiful arc.

This attack is completely unreasonable.

But he just went in, 102:103, 7 seconds, the Thunder took the lead.

The Cavaliers used up the last timeout, Owen, Zhang Xiaotian, or hanging inside.

At this time, it is hard to say who will vote, it depends on where the opportunity comes from.

Of course Zhang Xiaotian is full of confidence, he has hit two buzzer shots today.

But the Thunder will definitely focus on marking him, and David Blatt dare not bet.

He arranged a relatively complicated tactic. Love served the ball. After the referee whistled, the other four acted at the same time. Dellavedova blocked the man. Irving ran to Love first. If there was a chance, he would send the ball, but there was no chance. Owen was the bait, and Love threw the ball directly to Zhang Xiaotian.

If neither of these things work, just throw the ball straight to the inside Tristan Thompson.

After serving the ball, including Love going to the bottom line, four people have to occupy four three-point points, and then the ball holder breaks through or divides the ball, or he can shoot directly to complete the final attack.

The tactics sounded comprehensive, but when it came time to implement them, the Thunder didn't care about anything else. They blocked people directly. Robertson almost hugged Irving, and Durant completely blocked Zhang Xiaotian.

The tactical arrangement is too detailed, and sometimes it is not appropriate to assign the ball to the star player.

The most suitable person to cover went to the inside, and the Cavaliers' catch did not go as smoothly as expected.

The time to serve is fleeting, and Love can only flick the ball in.

Tristan Thompson still has no problem catching the ball. He bounces well and is flexible, which is why he can grab offensive rebounds frequently.

However, at this time, the opponent's defensive attention was very concentrated. Seeing the ball flying to the inside, although Adams was behind Tristan Thompson, he was also a ruthless character.

Adams and Tristan Thompson jumped up at the same time, pretending to grab the ball, but it was actually a bump.

As long as there is no hand push, the referee will not blow the whistle.

Tristan Thompson was hit from behind by Adams and the ball missed.

He also had experience, so he simply dialed it, and immediately rushed forward again.

It's just that Tristan Thompson didn't expect that Adams didn't give him this chance at all. The two collided in the air but didn't bounce off, but got entangled and fell to the ground together.

The referee raised his eyebrows and still didn't blow his whistle. Adams obviously used some unconventional means, but at the last moment of the game, the referee was more inclined to hand over the court to the players.

The basketball fell to the ground, except for the two people who were still entangled after falling to the ground, everyone else rushed over.

Love is definitely farthest away, but the Thunder are not close because they block people in front.

The fastest responders were Westbrook and Zhang Xiaotian. Westbrook was a little faster, but when he was about to pick up the ball, he was knocked away by Zhang Xiaotian behind him.

Westbrook rushed to the front to slow down, but Zhang Xiaotian directly used Westbrook as a speed bump.

They didn't control the ball, just now Adams didn't blow his whistle, and the referee Zhang Xiaotian didn't blow his whistle.

When Zhang Xiaotian got the ball, he dribbled a step towards the opposite direction of the basket, then turned around and dribbled a step towards the middle, adjusting his body shape.

Durant and Robertson rushed forward at a 45-degree angle, Zhang Xiaotian showed no fear, half turned and leaned back, and made a third shot at the buzzer.
