The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 20 Give Me the Ball
The morale of the Bobcats team, which tied the score, was greatly boosted, especially Brown's offensive rebound, which improved the morale of the Bobcats a lot.

Under Jackson's defense, Yuan Man missed the basket twice in a row, but fortunately, Williams had a good touch and hit two more three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter. The two teams ended in a 46-46 tie.

"Yuan Man has great potential, but he still needs to accumulate experience. It is a good thing for Yuan to be able to get Stephen's training in the first NBA-level game." The shot was missed, but after watching Yuan Man's performance, Scott felt that the Cavaliers had found a replacement for James at the small forward position, and that this young player was a potential rookie worth cultivating.

Yuan Man, who played the entire second quarter, did not play in the third quarter. Moon shared time with marginal player Joey Graham. A lot of scouting players were sent out in the second quarter, and the court was a bit chaotic at one point. Mo Williams turned into "No Pass" again, and his shooting percentage was not as good as in the second quarter. Fortunately, the Bobcats' shooting percentage was not high. .

The scores of the two sides were very stalemate. When there were 3 and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter, as Jamison made a shot, the scores of the two sides were tied again, 83-83, and the Bobcats called a timeout.

After this timeout, the two sides tacitly dispatched the strongest team against each other in the second quarter!The last few minutes were done with real knives and guns.

After Kwame Brown contributed the dunk in the first half, his state has obviously returned, and Jamison, who is facing up, actually doesn't like opponents who are melee inside, so when Brown comes back, he uses his 8 centimeters The height difference hit Jamison, although he did not score, but caused Jamison's fifth defensive foul.

Although Brown, who was still in the Pistons last season, only made 33.7% of his free throws, but after being brought to the Bobcats by Joe's helper, Brown obviously worked hard on his free throw technique and improved a lot. .

No extra nonsense, Mo Williams found a chance on the outside, although not very good, but enough shots, so he threw it out, and hit, the Cavaliers overtook the score again, 86-85.

Stephen Jackson's shot missed the basket under Yuan Man's defense, but the rebound was caught by Brown again. Varejao suffered from Muhammad's basket and was blocked behind him. The disadvantages began to be exposed at the end of the game.

After receiving the ball, Brown made a layup, which was destroyed again by Jamison. Unfortunately, the referee's whistle sounded again, six fouls!Jamison is coming off!
Jamieson was a little downcast before leaving the field. Last season, the Cavaliers would not suffer in the interior due to their height disadvantage. You must know that last season, Big Z and O'Neal were on the team at the same time. Regardless of height or weight, the Cavaliers were able to make substitutions with ease. But this season's inside line, JJ-Hickson needs to mention the position of the center to replace Varejao, and the position of the power forward is a bit stretched.

Scott looked at the bench and ordered Leon Bowie to play. Bowie put his hair on his head, took off his uniform from the bench and walked onto the court.

Although Bowie and Jamison have the same 2.03 meters, Bowie is not afraid of physical confrontation at all on the defensive end. Sure enough, Scott's substitution has had an effect. Brown never grabbed a forward in the next game. Every time Brown is about to jump to grab an offensive rebound, he will find that his position in front of him has been firmly held by Powe!
However, although the defensive problem is solved, Bowie cannot make up for Jamison's offensive firepower, so Yuan Man needs to stand up.

After 2 minutes of playing on the field, Yuan Man hadn't made a shot yet. Finally, when the game entered the last minute, Yuan Man used Varejao's block to get rid of Jackson. The two points from the distance made the score between the two sides a 1 tie, entering the final 91 seconds of the decisive victory.

The game was played so wonderfully, which completely exceeded the expectations of the audience. At this tense decisive moment, the fans were no longer satisfied with sitting in their seats to watch the game, and stood up one after another.

The last 40 seconds means that there is only one offensive opportunity left for the two sides. The Bobcats have no hesitation and handed over the last offensive opportunity to Stephen Jackson. In the current Bobcats, Jackson is not only the boss of the team , is also the team's scoring leader last season, and is the team's best choice in the final offense.

Facing the young man in front of him, Jackson would not back down in the slightest, not to mention Yuan Man, even Kobe, Jackson would not hesitate at this moment.

Changing the direction of the breakthrough, facing Yuan Man's close defense, he changed hands for a layup, only heard a "pop", and then the referee's whistle sounded, Yuan Man thugs fouled!Jackson got two free throws!
Jackson stood at the free throw line, gasping for breath, sweat dripping down Jackson's forehead.

"I didn't expect Stephen to be so tired. It seems that he has spent a lot of energy to deal with the young man Yuan Man who is facing him." Gerald Wallace looked at the free throw line and kept panting. An angry Jackson thought.

Jackson took the referee's ball, and the first free throw spun around the rim and fell out.

"."

For a player who has made 80 percent of his free throws in his career, the penalty was substandard.

Jackson took a deep breath and adjusted his panting state. After calming down, he made a steady free throw for the second ball!

With 20 seconds left in the game, the Bobcats overtook the Cavaliers by 92 point 91-1!
There were only 20 seconds left for the Cavaliers. Scott did not call a timeout. After all, this was just a preseason game. Scott wanted to see the team's own reaction, so he gave the initiative to the players.

After James left, Williams did his part to make the final attack. Through Leon Powe's outside pick-and-roll, Williams got rid of DJ-Augustine's entanglement, and faced the 2.11-meter-tall Kwame Brown's blocker The ball goes to the hoop!
The ball looks very likely to be scored, and the time is less than 3 seconds left. The audience in the audience is watching the ball flying towards the basket intently, looking forward to the moment when the ball will be scored!
It's a pity that people didn't hear the familiar sound of the basketball passing through the net. The ball hit the rim with a bang and popped out. Stephen Jackson immediately jumped up and caught the ball with both hands in the air!
The game is over!?
Just when everyone thought the game was over, they heard a roar from the field, "Give me the ball!"
