Chapter 463 I Won the Bet

Lavender thought that if the Bucks won this game, she would earn a lot of money, and she was very happy. Although every game was related to her life-long happiness, she really hoped that the Bucks would win this game, and then the Pistons Win three games in a row and advance to the second round.

In this world, no one doesn't care about money, including Lavender, who has never been short of money. At this moment, he also made a fortune from gambling, but gambling is a probability event after all. The situation on the court is changing, and it may be possible to win in the end. After all, the Pistons and Bucks are not at the same level.

Now that the money has been invested, no matter whether you win or lose, you must have enough courage and confidence to firmly believe in the decision you made at the beginning.

Lavender patiently continued to watch the close match.

Back in the second quarter, under the leadership of Reed and Mason, the Bucks blew the clarion call to increase the score.

Reid was still the first to show his power. He took the lead in showing his power. Relying on his teammates' proactive pick-and-roll cover, he forced a cold-blooded three-pointer into the net.

When the rotation came back, Neal tried to fight back. Unexpectedly, he failed. The ball bounced out of the basket. Wallace, Rasheed, and Prince tried their best to protect the basket. In the end, they were resolutely fought by Joe Smith and continued to hand it over. Reid, who was in excellent form, attacked. However, Reed felt that the opponent had ten eyes on him when he received the ball. He knew that he was being targeted, so he took the initiative to choose to pass the ball to Mason. Mason finally got the pass and won Possessing the ball, not brushing up the data for himself, seems to be sorry for the away fans, holding the ball and rushing into the penalty area, trying to score toughly, but in the end was interfered by Hamilton, failed to succeed, Wallace protected the rebound, the ball Passed to Neil in a flustered manner, Neil speeded up holding the ball, wandered around the penalty area, and found that the opponent retreated too quickly, the opportunity was not so good, wandered out again, and while dribbling, hand-to-hand Pass the ball to Hamilton, Hamilton catches the ball with Neil's side cover, speeds up and goes down, relies on his excellent dribbling skills and speed to kill the basket, causing a foul, and throws the ball when he is out of balance Going to the basket, the ball sprained a few times on the basket and went into the basket.

"Wow...Hamilton, hit a hard layup and caused a foul." The commentator exclaimed amidst cheers and applause.

Hamilton stood on the free throw line and made a free throw.

The scores of the two sides drew again, and the two teams started a tug-of-war against Maimang again.

Only in the final stage of the second quarter, the Bucks started and came off the bench frequently, leading the team to a wave of [-] to [-], ending the first half with a seven-point lead.

Such a score once gave Louis, Mills, Nuana, and Lavender the hope of winning the bet.

Back from the halftime break, the daring Bucks coach continued to use the tactical strategy and employment strategy of the first half, starting with a substitute, probably due to sufficient physical strength, and the substitute player can always drive the Bucks wave after wave Bo tough defense and ferocious offense.

This kind of courage allowed the Bucks to catch the ball in the third quarter and lead by three points, entering the second quarter.

In the final stage of the third quarter, Coach Brown saw that the situation of the game was not right. He had been hung up since the second quarter, and he had lost ten points after the second and third quarters. It was almost impossible to win, so he replaced Neil and Wallace, and let Rasheed, Prince and Hamilton lead the fight, but in this game, Hamilton was in poor form and was still out of form. Therefore, replacing Neal and Wallace, the team's overall offense also stagnated.

For the Pistons, the suspense can only be kept until the last quarter. In the last quarter, they will strive to catch up, and they may be able to win two consecutive victories in the playoffs.

In the fourth quarter, the five Pistons played in rotation one by one. After receiving the serve, Neal took the lead and led the team to start the point chasing mode.

For the Bucks, they can still make a difference and don’t have to work so hard, because they still lead by [-] points, but this kind of thinking was brought back to reality by Neil’s long shot, which made them have to tighten their nerves again and raise their vigilance , Handle every attack seriously and calmly.

In the last quarter, the first half, you come and go, the Bucks can withstand the Pistons' fierce attack, but at the final moment of the decisive battle, the Pistons' five tigers suddenly showed their strength collectively, and once narrowed the score to only four points.

And just when Neil was feeling hot, he scored five points in a row, helped the team in just a few minutes, and with his big heart performance, narrowed the score to only four points, the Bucks coach called a timeout for the team. The existing problems are rectified.

"Later, your first task is to keep an eye on Neal and Hamilton. The mid-range and long-range shots of these two are terrible. You must not let them go. After defending them, try your best to protect the basket. , Regardless of three points, regardless of two points, we must quickly take points to stop the bleeding. If the Pistons make another one or two points or one three points, then we may lose. Therefore, the next offensive and defensive tasks are very difficult, you understand ?”

"Yes~"

"Then prove it to me with your strength. If we lose this game again, we are very likely to be swept out as the outside world said. Because of the strength of the Pistons, you have also experienced it. We led them by a total of [-] points in the first three quarters. In just a few minutes, the score was reduced to four points. Four points is a three-pointer difference to the hot-feeling Neal. So, give me [-] points, go all out, and stop the Pistons with offensive and defensive transitions We are not as bad as they think, and we can also stand on the same starting line as them. For us, every game is a battle of dignity, understand ?”

"understand……"

"Then go ahead, remember, the power of one person is weak, but the power of the collective is huge and invincible."

"Is everyone's responsibilities and tasks clear?" The Bucks coach paused for a moment and continued to ask.

"clear……"

"OK, let's go! Come on, the Bucks will win, they will win..."

"We must win, we must win..."

The mental rectification of the players this time has played an extremely important role in the next offense and defense of the Bucks.

After the timeout, the atmosphere in the audience became tense and extremely silent. Both sides of the battle were extremely uncomfortable in such an atmosphere. The heartbeats of the players on the stage were inexplicable. It may be that this silence told them that the game is coming to an end, and the outcome will be decided Between one or two balls, it forces them to tense every nerve.

Under the guidance of the referee, the Bucks sent sideline balls to organize the offense. In this game, Reed's offensive methods were really incomprehensible, with mid-range shots, breakthroughs, and three-pointers.

Back from a timeout, the most critical attack, he still chose to single out Neal confidently. With his skillful skills, he stepped back and made a three-pointer after shaking Neal away.

Recognizing that the ball was crucial, Neal blocked the block in time, causing Reed to miss the shot. Wallace grabbed the rebound and passed it long to Neal, meaning to let him give Reed a little color and let him know How did I lose? It’s a pity that the ball was predicted by Kidd. There was an aerial interception, and then a three-point shot, which angered Neal. Neal jumped up from behind and blocked the block once. .

Although he prevented the Bucks from quickly scoring points with his efforts, there were only 11 seconds left for them. Brown also asked him to delay the time before shooting. In the end, due to the rush of the shot, the three-pointer missed the basket and finally scored four points. The difference between losing the game.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Louis and Mills jumped up happily, twisting their buttocks excitedly: "Yeah... actually won the bet!"

When they were still immersed in the joy of winning, Lavender smiled and pushed them back to reality: "Second old man, what are you two happy about? All the winning money is mine, haha..."

"Yes! NO..."

Nuana and Lavender watched the two kick their feet in anger and frustration. They felt a sense of accomplishment and couldn't help laughing.
