unfinished glory

Chapter 95 The Champion

With 3 minutes and 46 seconds left in the game, the Spurs attacked. After halftime, Li Chongxiao took the initiative to ask for the ball. Hamilton rushed over, but it was too late.

A shot three meters away from the three-point line, like a shooting game after daily training, draws an arc and falls into the basket.

In the defensive round, Li Chongxiao seemed to grow bigger, completely covering Hamilton, and the opponent's running position was affected.

The Pistons hit the inside, and Rasheed Wallace faced Duncan and tried his best, but failed to hit back.

Horry took the rebound and handed it to Ginobili to take the ball to the front court. Li Chongxiao asked for the ball again, and Hamilton hurried over to interfere.

Li Chongxiao rushed forward, then turned around and spun around on the spot, throwing off Hamilton and receiving the pass.

He took a tentative step, didn't make a move, and then was about to hang to Duncan, but Rasheed Wallace suddenly walked forward.

Li Chongxiao gestured to Duncan, took a tentative step with his right foot, and then took two steps inside with the dribble.

Hamilton stuck tightly to Li Chongxiao's breakthrough line, and Rasheed Wallace also stood in front of Duncan, ready to step forward to interfere with the shot.

Li Chongxiao then dribbled the ball towards the baseline, brought Hamilton sideways, then turned sideways suddenly, and threw the ball out with his right hand.

Rasheed Wallace, who was blocked by Hamilton, didn't see the ball. The pass passed between his legs at once, and Duncan turned around and carried him behind him, bending over to catch the ball. To this pass, one step forward, it's a slam dunk.

"Drip!" Rasheed Wallace thug foul!
Duncan made a free throw, and the point difference was only 4 points. The fans at the scene came alive and stood up one after another. They saw the hope of victory.

The Pistons are also a rough-natured team. They did not have emotional fluctuations because of the wonderful goal. In the next round, they still scored, as if the few minutes just now were an illusion, and the 6-point difference was still unbreakable.

2 minutes 39 seconds.

If the Pistons don't win this game, a season's hard work will be in vain. The players rely on willpower to withstand exhaustion.

The impenetrable iron barrel array made it difficult for the Spurs to find an opportunity to attack.Seeing that the 24-second shot clock was approaching, Li Chongxiao, who touched the ball for the third time from beyond the three-point line, directly shot a fadeaway jumper in the face of Pulis's defense.

The ball hit the front of the rim before shot clock, bounced to the floor, and flew out without either player catching it.

After landing, Li Chongxiao flew forward and got the ball ahead of Prince.Facing an empty three-second zone, he dribbled the ball and took off directly.

Hamilton who rushed over had only time to block half of his body in Li Chongxiao's path before he was knocked into the air.

Li Chongxiao smashed the ball into the basket with his left hand and caused a blocking foul by Hamilton.

Rasheed Wallace had some complaints about the decision, but the referee told him that Hamilton was off his feet and was on his side.

Fortunately, he also knew that this was in the finals. If it was the regular season, he would probably turn into "Roaring Heavenly Lord" again and get a technical foul.

In the playoffs, Li Chongxiao, who had scored 71 free throws in a row, scored 72 free throws steadily.Except for a few media and interested fans, everyone is used to this record.

李冲霄的2+1帮助球队把比分缩小到了3分，时间还剩下2分12秒，时间完全足够。

The rekindled Spurs and the unrelenting Pistons, at the last moment of the game, both exerted their last strength and tried their best.

In the hand-to-hand combat like a meat grinder, the two teams spent more than 20 seconds on each attack, and the Pistons were also blocked by an attack for 24 seconds.

In one and a half minutes, the two sides made two attacks each, none of which hit.

With 42 seconds left in the clock, the Pistons attacked.

Seeing that another 20 seconds passed, Billups took the ball and began to break through. He felt exhausted and was ready to use his last strength to break through and draw fouls to secure the victory.

Li Chongxiao was defending him. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ben Wallace moving over and stepped back a little, preparing to bypass the pick-and-roll.

The seasoned Billups saw that Li Chongxiao's defense had loosened, so he made a decisive decision and changed the breakthrough to a jumper.

Li Chongxiao's reaction was very fast. Seeing Billups' jump shot, he immediately took a step forward and jumped up to interfere.

Billups obviously overestimated his physical strength and underestimated Li Chongxiao's athletic ability.

He already had a height gap, but when he was exhausted, he could only jump a little higher than Matchbox, while Li Chongxiao was still alive and well. With his height of nearly ten centimeters higher and his wingspan of [-] meters, Successfully covered the ball.

After landing, Li Chongxiao quickly took off and grabbed the rebound.

He threw the ball forward, rushed out in a big stride, shook Billups away with one step, and dribbled towards the frontcourt.

Ben Wallace, Prince and Billups slowed down after a few steps, seeing the gap getting wider and wider.

Li Chongxiao didn't dare to turn his head, fearing that he would slow down and be chased.After rushing to the inside line, he didn't stop, and he didn't dare to play a layup. Instead, he jumped up and dunked with both hands, pulled the basket and was thrown out of the court.

After scoring this goal, Li Chongxiao scored 29 points, and the Spurs were only one point behind.

With 17 seconds to go, anything can happen.

The Pistons paused to arrange the serving tactics for the last round.Basically as long as the ball can be sent to the correct player, at least the game can't be lost.

The correct player certainly doesn't include Ben Wallace, who was rested for Lynch Hunter.

Rasheed Wallace has the size and the vision, and he serves on the sideline.Billups, Hamilton and Prince were entangled by Ginobili, Li Chongxiao and Bowen desperately, and only Lynch Hunter got rid of Parker's defense and received the pass.

The Spurs were still thinking about stealing the ball. After a few times of harassment, the ball was in the hands of Rasheed Wallace, and there were only 8 seconds left. Li Chongxiao didn't care, and went forward to cut the ball.

With a "snap", the ball was cut off, which was also a foul.

In the playoffs, Rasheed Wallace, who averaged 74% of his free throws per game, made his first free throw amidst the noise of the audience.

In the second free throw, the two sides changed players to grab rebounds. The Pistons' Ben Wallace and McDyess, and the Spurs' Mohamed and Horry all played.

Rasheed Wallace took a deep breath and made a free throw after dribbling. The ball seemed to have a straight arc, but with a little force, it hit the back of the basket and bounced very high.

None of the five people huddled together under the basket could make it. The ball came rushing towards Rasheed Wallace, and just as he was about to jump to receive the ball, there was a burst of force from the side.

When the ball was shot, Li Chongxiao rushed in from beyond the three-point line. He jumped from the side of Rasheed Wallace to grab a rebound, and received the ball in his arms in the air.

When he landed, there was no room inside. He was hugged by Duncan, and the impact brought Duncan and Ben Wallace down.

Avoiding the hands of McDyess and Ben Wallace reaching out to take out the ball, Li Chongxiao turned sideways to the baseline referee, hugged the ball in his arms, and made a time-out gesture with both hands.

There are more than 6 seconds left in the time, leaving the Spurs with a chance to attack.

The Spurs' lineup is Duncan and Horry, Li Chongxiao, Barry, and Ginobili. All four shooters can shoot mid-range and three-pointers.

The Pistons are still the main lineup. In such a hand-to-hand situation, none of them were sent off the field, which shows the scale of the referee.

Duncan serves, Ginobili uses Li Chongxiao's pick-and-roll to receive the pass, he takes the ball into the baseline and breaks through, Prince, who defends Li Chongxiao, and Hamilton, who defends Ginobili, change positions, Ginobili is stuck from three Line to bottom line.

In the past, if Ginobili made an emergency stop, he might have gone to the free throw line, but he didn't dare to bet this time.

He neither dared to bet that the referee would give a foul, nor dared to bet that he could make both free throws.

He dribbled to the inside, but there was no room for a layup, so he could only circle to the other side and pass to Horry on the baseline.

Horry also had no good shooting opportunities against Ben Wallace's defense, so he could only transition to Li Chongxiao.

After going around in a circle, more than four seconds passed.

Li Chongxiao looked up at his watch, and raised the ball to shoot.

Hamilton, who also silently calculated the time, was immediately deceived by this action and jumped on it.

Unexpectedly, Li Chongxiao dared to make a fake move in a few seconds after one o'clock.

After Li Chongxiao fooled Hamilton, he dribbled a step sideways, and took a leisurely jump shot with 0.6 seconds left.

The lights are on while the ball is still in the air.

This time Li Chongxiao didn't pretend to turn around to celebrate directly, but after landing, put his hands on his hips, and looked at the trajectory of the basketball calmly.

Without even touching the frame, the basketball plunged into the net and passed through the heart!

Lore!

The lore of the finals!

The series-ending lore!

"Champion, champion, hahahaha!" Mr. Li Guangfu smiled happily in the stands.
