Chapter 407 The first overtime of the season
For the Raptors, this is the first overtime game of the season. Obviously, this game does not seem to end so easily.

Both sides consume a lot of physical energy. Even if the Jazz are playing at home, they are more familiar with the field than their opponents. However, when playing in the plateau arena, everyone faces the same environment, and they will not consume less because of who is more familiar.

But relatively speaking, the consumption of the Raptors will be greater.It was originally the second back-to-back away game, and it was still fighting on a plateau field, and the game was so difficult, which caused some physical problems for the Raptors' soldiers.If it weren't for the fact that the score has been very close, they are very likely to give up this game.

Coach Casey saw that there was fire burning in Yingxiong's eyes. He liked such eyes and Yingxiong very much.This is fighting spirit, competitive spirit, not admitting defeat and wanting to win. If you want to become a great player, this kind of spirit must be possessed.

Overtime began with the shouts of the fans at the scene.Bargnani and Favors jump ball near the middle circle.

In this game, Bargnani was in excellent form. He also beat Favors, who bounced faster than himself.

DeRozan got the ball and gave it to Calderon to advance.

Here Yingxiong tried to catch the ball, but Rajabel continued his deadly defense and harassed a lot during the receiving stage.

DeRozan received the ball, Bargnani picked and rolled, he broke through with the ball, and faced the joint block of Millsap and Hayward under the basket-missed.

Favors leaned on Bargnani and took the rebound.

Devin Harris dribbled over and started running tactics at the top of the arc.Keep passing and cutting cooperation.The Jazz is a team with a high level of tactical literacy. Even in overtime, it is not easy to be able to sink down and cooperate.

Hayward received the ball from Harris, made a fake move and failed to get rid of Ying Xiong, and was finally defended by the opponent for 24 seconds.

The first offense of the two teams in overtime failed to achieve anything.Everyone has reached this point, and everyone has nothing to hold back. They all hope to defeat their opponents and win this game.

Ying Xiong held the ball for halftime, and Rajabel led the defense on him, trying to wrestle him from the moment he received the ball.Rajabel's task is obvious, which is to find ways to exchange money with him. Even if he fails, he hopes to consume his physical strength to the maximum and reduce his efficiency.

Ying Xiong's ball control is quite stable, not affected by Rajabel's defense at all.He rarely dribbles from the backcourt in the NBA, and he rarely plays point guard like in the CBA, so fans who are not familiar with him think his ball-handling ability is average!

Ying Xiong holds the ball to a high position and picks and rolls with Bargnani.At the moment when the pick-and-roll happened, he quickly changed direction, threw off Favors who was delaying forward, and then accelerated to cut directly to the basket.

The speed happened too fast, neither Favors nor Rajabel could keep up with his pace, and could only hope for his teammates to fill in.

Hayward decisively let go of DeRozan, who was inaccurate for 3 points, and shrank the basket to help Millsap protect the basket together.In this case, letting go of the outside line and helping to defend the inside line is a choice that most teams will make.

Facing Hayward and Millsap under the basket, Ying Xiong seemed to completely ignore each other and went straight to kill each other.

Facing the murderous Ying Xiong, Hayward's fear of being almost dunked when facing him one-on-one appeared in Hayward's mind again.

But now the arrow is on the string, and he has no choice but to send it. Even if he is blocked, he cannot retreat.

Ying Xiong was near the paint area. Everyone thought he was going to go straight up, but suddenly he made a pass from behind without looking at anyone, and then blocked the two opponents under the basket.

Only then did everyone see clearly that DeRozan had come in from outside the 3-point line and received this second pass. With such a large open space, he had no reason not to shoot. 3-point shooting is not his strong point, but 2 points, then...hehe——

DeRozan's jumper misses the frame.

Here, Devin Harris forced Calderon to layup, causing the opponent's thugs to foul.

Harris made two free throws and the two sides tied at 101!At this time, there are 3 minutes and 38 seconds left before the end of overtime.

In the next two attacks, neither side was able to hit!As the game progressed, the two sides made fewer and fewer breakthroughs and made more and more shots due to physical constraints.

Here DeRozan was forced to make an offensive foul, and here Devon Harris wanted to press the time to force a sudden point, but it ended in a walk.

Ying Xiong slowly dribbled the ball to the front court. At this time, there were less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game.Rajabel is still pestering him, but the intensity of the fight is decreasing.After all, he is a veteran. Compared with his peak physical fitness, he is naturally weaker than stronger. It is not easy to persevere until now.

Ying Xiong changed his mind to kill, and was surrounded by three opponents. He decisively scored the ball, and Bargnani made a 3-pointer from the outside - turned around and came out...

The home team fans at the scene gasped!so close……

Favors took the rebound and handed it to Harris to advance.

Here, Millsap's status is strong against Amir Johnson, and he scored a jumper and caused a foul!

2+1 chance!The key goal!The fans at the scene cheered for Millsap's wonderful attack.At this point, there are only 55 seconds left before the end of overtime.

Millsap walked to the free throw line, made a crucial free throw, but missed the extra free throw...but...the rebound was snatched back by himself.He calmed down and distributed the ball to Devin Harris on the outside, spending time to hit the success rate.

Time passed by, and for the Raptors who were behind one side, time was more precious, and this defense mattered a lot.The reason why the Jazz did not pause was to not give the opponent time to defend and not to make substitutions for the opponent.

Devin Harris used up 24 seconds to 9 seconds left, started the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, changed direction and rushed, passed Bargnani, and went directly into the penalty area.Facing Amir Johnson's defense, he made a big move and gave it to Millsap.

Millsap caught the ball and was about to attack the frame, but the ball in his hand was suddenly cut off by the opponent.

It was Ying Xiong who cut off the ball in Millsap's hand. He let go of his defender and went directly to the inside to help defend.

Calderon picked up the ball cleverly and called a timeout.At this point, there are 33 seconds left before the end of the game.

Now, there is a choice before the Raptors, whether to score a 2-pointer steadily, or take a risky 3-pointer.If 2 points are scored, it means that the chance of lore is in front of the opponent, and even if the opponent fails to make a shot, a second overtime will be carried out; if 2 points are scored, the opponent also has an offensive opportunity, but at this time If you can defend it, you can win.Of course, if you miss the shot, your chances of winning the game are slim.
