Starting with 2006

Chapter 96 Became a background board?
With a breath, Nash took off half a step away from the three-point line before the terrified Rondo's defense that was closest to him, and shot!
Familiar rhythm, familiar movements, dialing the ball, watching the ball bounce into the frame, and the quiet Meixi Arena just now exploded in an instant!

All the Phoenix fans were shouting Nash's name. This son of the sun, who was always invisible at critical moments of the game after Gao Tian's arrival, finally shined his light and did what a leader should do!

Gao Tian was also very happy. After seeing Nash giving him a signal, he was indeed a little surprised, but he also understood.

Nash is really a perfect teammate!

He is not greedy for the ball, is willing to assist, and prefers the excitement of his teammates to the fun of playing. This is definitely not determined by his technical characteristics. His offense is the top in the league, but his heart is like this.

The heart of a perfect point guard is the meaning of a good point guard. The most perfect point guard must be a team player like Nash. He is willing to do anything for the team as long as it can help the team.

But now, when Gao Tian is obviously going to be targeted or even double-teamed, when the team is in trouble, he knows that he must stand up and take this responsibility!

Looking at the excited teammates and enthusiastic fans, he knew that he had lived up to the expectations of these cutest people, and led the Suns to take the lead again in this Eastern and Western Conference's top battle, taking a slight chance.

124: 125!

The host Suns completed another overtake in the last 30 seconds of the game!

Rivers called a timeout to arrange the next attack. He was helpless when he heard "This is Phoenix!" resounding through the arena. The team clearly has the advantage!
Another team might be here today, but who is he?
He's one of the most inspiring coaches in the league.

Who is this team?

They are the toughest team in the league, built with the iron-blooded discipline of never giving up!

"Listen, boys, now we are only one step away from the final winner! Next, as long as we cross this step, we will be the winner tonight! So the last ball is still for Paul!"

No one has any objection. In terms of singles ability, Paul Pierce is undoubtedly the strongest one, and he is also the most confident one here.

"Ray or Rajon will make a screen with Paul, switch your defenders, and let Paul single Lagabel or Nash! It is best to swap Rajon with Paul!"

Rivers looked around and finally stared into Paul Pierce's eyes and said, "Then put your heart down and just hit!"

Compared with the serious Celtics, the situation here of the Suns is obviously much better. They are not too nervous. After all, after experiencing the most difficult start in history, almost all players are no longer unfamiliar with this situation.

They are very confident, they have not lost since the start of the game on this occasion!

But there was one person on the team who seemed out of place. Stotts scratched his head and looked at the players who should drink water when they should drink water and rest when they should rest. It is unimaginable that they are not nervous?
Although Stotts knew that they played a soul-stirring lore month that is rare in NBA history, but are they really so confident?

This game is undoubtedly one of the most important games of this season, even no less than a playoff game!

They can still do this in such a tense game. He knows how high this is for the coach. D'Antoni is really a great coach!

Seeing the admiring eyes cast by Stotts, D'Antoni was also a little proud, but also a little emotional. The Suns in the past were extremely nervous when they encountered such a scene, because this was their weakest aspect.

Although it seems that it is just a little luck in many cases, as the head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni knows that it is not just luck!

It is undoubtedly difficult for a player to be too nervous to play his true level, and when the entire Suns players are like this, there is no doubt that they cannot show their due level.

But now, the Suns finally have someone who can serve as a role model for the team at such a moment and lead the team to move on.

In fact, D'Antoni is also a little ashamed, because the Suns players are so relaxed. It really has nothing to do with him. The main reason is that everyone sees that Gao Tian is not nervous at such a moment. All slowly relaxed.

"Hey, next time they will definitely choose the most certain way, so Gao, you have to keep an eye on Paul Pierce, he is tough!"

"Try not to switch again when you encounter a defense change, especially the defense change with Paul Pierce!"

Paul Pierce looked helplessly at Gao Tian who had set up the defensive posture in front of him. Rondo really wanted to switch defenses with him just now, but Gao Tian didn't think about Rondo's problem at all, so he just gave up on him and rushed towards him.

Although this gave Rondo more than a second of open time, he didn't dare to make a shot, because everyone knows that Rondo is abnormal now, and his real ability has not reached the point where he can shoot this kind of ball.

D'Antoni just made a bet with Rivers that Rivers would never dare to let Rondo take the ball. If he really lost the bet and Rondo took the shot, D'Antoni would admit it. It is also a possibility to let others take the shot. Accepted option.

And obviously D'Antoni won, and in the end, Rondo hesitated to pass the ball to Pierce, who was barely in a good position, and now the position of Pierce, who was stepping on the three-point line, was obviously not a good offensive position. But he has no choice, he can only attack the ball by himself!
Gao Tian looked at Pierce's dignified expression and was also a little nervous. He knew that this old cannon had too many fake moves, and he would be embarrassed if he didn't pay attention. This old cannon's foul-making ability is also top-notch!
Seeing that Pierce was another three-threat, Gao Tian was unmoved by it, and then Gao Tian didn't dare to let go of his tentative step, so he took a half step back, otherwise his dribbling with one step would definitely kill people.

Pierce looked up slightly, five seconds left.

He didn't hesitate any longer, and directly took a cross step to create a space, and then worshiped Buddha with a sideways step, and took off to make a shot.

Although he has already got the space to shoot, the sense of crisis lingering in his heart makes him know that he is in danger!
He looked at the big hand that was about to arrive and didn't care to adjust it in the air. He barely emphasized the range and shot directly before Gao Tian's hand arrived. Everyone looked at the flying ball.

Paul Pierce looked at the ball and his heart skipped a beat, the ball was crooked!

Sure enough, the ball hit the front of the basket directly. Stoudemire, whose veins were exposed on his face, was firmly stuck behind Garnett, and Dior, who was under the basket, was also entangled with Perkins. They all looked up at the ball.

Just when the ball fell, Garnett and Stoudemire jumped up at the same time. After all, Garnett was in a better position. He touched the ball first, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw a man in a green jersey running quickly. He didn't think much about the bottom corner, and directly picked the ball hard.

Gao Tian on the other side watched Ray Allen receive Garnett's pick in one step inside the three-point line, his heart tightened suddenly.

Why is this scene so familiar?

Receive the ball, retreat, straighten your body tens of thousands of times, reach the highest point, and then shoot.

127: 125!
