champion heart

Chapter 74 74. Defeated!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the field, Tang De slowly walked to the free throw line.

First, he wiped his sweat with his jersey, then touched the soles of his shoes with both hands, and after adjusting his breathing slightly, he started to make free throws!
The fans in the Toyota Center booed everywhere, constantly interfering with Tang De's free throws by various means!
So far in the game, Tang De's two free throws are crucial.

The first free throw was hit!
After some adjustments, Tang De's second free throw, although the ball bounced twice on the basket, fortunately, it finally scored!

102: 102 flat!
The fans at the Toyota Center were a little unhappy for a moment.

Why bother you like this, yet you are still so stable!

Just kidding, you think Tang De is Howard, the free throw is so bad...

At 32 seconds, McHale continued to call a timeout.

The next attack is very important for the Rockets. As long as they score, they will basically be stable, at least to ensure invincibility first!
If you can't score, the initiative will be transferred to the Lakers in an instant.

TNT commentary seats.

O'Neill: "Come on, Tang, you are the fattest!"

Barkley: "The Rockets still have to pass the ball to James and let him shoot this crucial shot! And his touch has been very good tonight!"

Kenny: "At the last moment, if James can make another kill and get to the free throw line, then he is really capable!"

What Kenny Smith said seems to be correct, but it always sounds weird.

Are you mocking Harden?

who knows...

Wang Meng: "Defense! Defense! Now for the Lakers, the most important thing is defense. If you defend, you will win half the battle!"

Yang Yi: "Yes, but the Lakers' defense has never been a major problem. There are white borders on the inside, Tang De is an absolute defensive strength on the outside, and there is even a Farmer who is the same type as Beverly. !So I am very optimistic that the Lakers can win the game tonight!"

Wei Ping: "The Lakers' defense is great, but the Rockets have Harden. That guy can't stop him at all. The most terrifying thing is that you will foul if you are not careful! It's difficult!"

Rocket bench.

McHale is holding a tactical board and making his final "speech"!
"Press time to play! Beard, you come to play this crucial attack, but the premise is that you have a good offensive opportunity! After attracting the defense, it is best to pass the ball to the open teammate!"

"It's best to score. If you can't score, remember not to foul and defend well. We are not afraid of overtime!"

Harden: "Dwight, come up and help me block in a while, they will definitely let Tang defend me, that guy's defense really has two brushes! After blocking, look for opportunities to go down as usual, if not If you have the opportunity, you immediately withdraw to the basket and protect the rebound!"

Howard: "Don't worry, even if you don't score, the rebound is mine!"

It seems that Howard is very confident, and he has already patted his chest to assure Harden.

Lakers bench.

D'Antoni's arrangement is relatively simple, nothing more than doing a good job of defense and not fouling!

The game is back.

When the Rockets sent the ball to the sideline, Tang De and Farmar surrounded it together.

The ball didn't reach Harden's hands in a daze.

Reluctantly, McHale could only call a timeout again. This is also the last timeout for the Rockets tonight!
After all the twists and turns, the ball finally came to Harden's hands smoothly.

As Harden expected, as soon as the ball was in his hands, Tang De rushed over aggressively.

Harden kept dribbling outside, aiming at the basket from time to time.

As a defender, Tang De is also very tired. He must block Harden's attack, but at the same time he must not make any unnecessary moves.

Especially for Harden, you will foul if you touch his beard!
Tang De could only rely on his body to prop up, he didn't even dare to stretch out his hands at this time!

As soon as he reached out, with Harden's ability, it was basically a foul and two points for nothing!
At 17 seconds, Howard came up to pick and roll, and Baibian still guarded the basket. At this time, rebounds are also crucial for the Lakers!

With the help of Howard's pick-and-roll, Harden got a brief chance to open!

Shot from the right free throw line!
Everyone held their breath, and the Toyota Center fell into dead silence at this moment!

Tang De also watched Harden complete the shot, success or failure is determined by one stroke.

In the next second, the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and went into the basket with a "shua" sound!
Toyota Center boiled instantly!

9 seconds!
The Rockets lead by 2 points!
In their eyes, the game is over!

Wang Meng said anxiously: "This is going to be a little troublesome for the Lakers!"

Yang Yi: "It's okay, time is enough for the Lakers, 9 seconds can do a lot of things on the basketball court!"

Weiping: "After the timeout, it depends on how the Lakers play. They still have a chance!"

Barrage.

"Come on! Lakers championship!"

"Brother Tang, if you can kill me once, my life will be complete!"

"I've already set the electric fan on gear [-]. If the Lakers have a lore, I'll be on gear [-]!"

Most Lakers fans still believe that the Lakers will kill the game, and for Tang De, they believe it even more blindly!

TNT commentary seats.

Barkley: "Shaq, what do you think of this situation? Is there any hope for you?"

At this moment, Barkley was refreshed, as if releasing all his grievances in an instant.

O'Neill: "I'm very objective. You can kill in 0.4 seconds, let alone 9 seconds now?"

O'Neill is very calm, after all, he is also a person who has experienced great storms.

Kenny Smith: "The game is far from over, anything can happen, maybe we will have to work overtime today!"

Lakers bench.

D'Antoni: "We have to discuss it. Who does the last shot go to? Don, what do you think?"

D'Antoni's intention was obvious, that he wanted Tang De to make the last shot, but Tang De didn't think so.

It's not that Tang De is throwing the blame, but that he really has someone more suitable than himself in his heart.

"Coach, let Nick take the shot, he'd even dare to hit himself if he makes waves!"

"Fxxk, Tang, what nonsense are you talking about? But what you said is indeed correct. Who is labor and management afraid of?"

"Coach, for the last attack, I will hold the ball. They will definitely double-team. This is Nick's best chance!"

"How do you feel Nick?"

"I'm absolutely fine, as long as Don can pass the ball, I'll run out of space even if I lose my leg!"

Nick Yang directly issued a military order!
For Tang De's suggestion, D'Antoni directly agreed, because from the current point of view, Nick Young is indeed the most stable point on the outside of the Lakers!

Game back.

The Lakers served the serve to Tang De smoothly.

The Rocket's reaction was exactly as Tang De thought, and Beverly and Jones directly came up to double-team.

Gasol blocked his man, and Baibian focused all his attention on the basket and smashed Howard!
Tang De almost fell to his knees before successfully passing the ball into Nick Young's hands.

3 seconds!
Nick Young catches the ball, adjusts it a bit, and shoots directly from the outside!

"Nick Young, take an outside shot! Is there any?" Wang Meng shouted excitedly!

"beep!"

"Duang!"

The final whistle and the strike sounded almost simultaneously.

Nick Young's lore failed!

In the end, the Lakers narrowly lost to the Rockets by two points in the away game!

　Thanks to the crazy fat elephant brothers for their rewards!
