King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 79 The King's Enthronement (End)

With 40 seconds left in the clock, the Kings called a timeout to set up an attack. The ball had to be played quickly, and the time was left to more than 24 seconds. In this way, even if they missed this attack, both sides would have another chance to attack.Westphal drew a tactic, Yi Jianlian served from the sideline, and Iguodala stepped forward to pick and roll when serving, creating a chance for He Yixiang to 1-on-1 Martin.

Very well, Iguodala's pick-and-roll allowed He Yixiang to get a one-on-one chance at a 45-degree angle on the weak side. Battier has properly released Iguodala a little distance, ready to double-team He Yixiang, This season, Iguodala's three-point shooting percentage is not high, only 35%, and the number of shots is not many.

At this time, the audience in the Global Pavilion focused their eyes on the pair that was facing each other on the field. The fans stopped shouting and held their breath. He Yixiang didn't use any tricks when facing Martin, and chose to force a breakthrough directly.However, there are many unwritten rules in the NBA. For example, at the last moment, the referee will let the players decide the game themselves. This means that as long as the foul is not too serious, the referee may turn a blind eye. It is definitely a very annoying thing, so even James and Wade, the historical level breakthrough players in the NBA, will mostly use jump shots to end the final attack.

Martin can be regarded as a very experienced veteran. Seeing He Yixiang rushing aggressively, he knew that his body's confrontation and speed were not comparable to the popular star of this alliance, so he put one hand on He Yixiang's waist. His action was suspected of a head-check or even a blocking foul, but the referee did not whistle.

But He Yixiang charged fiercely on the surface, but in fact he didn't intend to use a breakthrough to end the attack. His eyes had already seen Battier who was about to come to help defend. Martin was caught off guard by a step-back jump shot, and Martin, who was full of thoughts that He Yixiang would rush to the end, was suddenly stunned, only to see He Yixiang's body getting farther and farther away from him. At 112:114, the Kings took a two-point lead with 27 seconds left in the game.The two foul-filled guys on the bench and the drinking fountain player Darnell Jackson hugged each other excitedly, and the Kings fans also clapped each other to celebrate.

"A beautiful goal! The pressure is back on the Rockets, Director Zhang, who do you think the Rockets will let carry out this decisive attack?" Yang Yi also raised many fans' concerns during the timeout.

"It should be Martin! After all, he is the boss of the Rockets now! Today's performance is also good, and he has scored 28 points!" There is a lot of space, but now we have to rely on the personal ability of the defender!
Westphal also guessed that Martin would carry out this attack. Iguodala was already fouled, and He Yixiang was given the responsibility of guarding Martin. However, it was unexpected that the Rockets handed over the ball to the little black bean Brooks. Brooks easily swayed out of space facing Udry's defense and made a super difficult three-pointer.

Adelman was superior in this contest. He keenly judged that the opponent would focus on Martin, ignoring Brooks who was ineffective under the defense of He Yixiang tonight. He was still the same as last year when facing Udry. That Brooks.Westphal's face was ugly, and the king who was short of major generals forced him to make this choice.

The ball went in! ! !The Kings fans, Cousins ​​and Iguodala on the bench, and the five people on the field all looked at the basketball that was still bouncing on the ground with these unbelievable eyes.After the Rockets scored the goal, they went ahead by one point, 5:115. This is the first time the Rockets have led 114:2 since Lowry made a counter-attack layup in the first quarter, but this lead almost made the Kings desperate.

7 seconds, one point loss, Cousins ​​and Iguodala have been sent off, all the fans, including the Rockets on the opposite side, have set their sights on the boy who has 38 points and 13 assists tonight, he is now the only King hope.However, Westphal also wanted to let He Yixiang attract firepower like Adelman and draw up a tactic for other people to attack.

But He Yixiang looked at Westphal firmly: "Coach, give me the last ball."

Hearing the shouts of "KING" from all the fans, Westphal smiled, and wiped off all the content on the tactical board, go, the last goal, I leave it to you!

However, Adelman also saw that the king's last attack was definitely He Yixiang, and looked at Battier: "Are you confident?"

Battier just nodded, which is in line with his humble and low-key character, but such a nod makes Adelman very relieved.

In the studio of CCTV 5, "Director Zhang, do you still have to guess who performed the final attack this time?" Yang Yi said with a slightly teasing tone.

Zhang Weiping is useless this time. Should such an uncertain word, he directly replied without reservation: "Don't think about it. When neither Cousins ​​nor Iguodala can play, the Kings can only trust He Yixiang."

In the last 7 seconds, Casspi sent a sideline ball, Battier clung to He Yixiang tightly, and did not give him a chance to catch the ball. After two consecutive pick-and-rolls, He Yixiang received the ball at a 45-degree angle, but Battier was also very He quickly posted it in front of He Yixiang, and within 7 seconds, He Yixiang directly took advantage of Battier's pounce and broke through with a dribble.Battier has a lot of experience, he didn't rush at full speed, he immediately suppressed the center of gravity and prevented the breakthrough route.

The eyes of the whole audience are focused on the last 1V1 match between the two MOPs, the contest between spear and shield, because there is only one point difference, and whether the goal is scored or not, it will end the game.Seeing that He Yixiang was blocked in the first step, the fans of the Kings were all troubled because there was too little time for He Yixiang to do too many moves.

With 5 seconds left, He Yixiang directly stepped back to hold the ball. Seeing that He Yixiang held the ball with both hands, Battier jumped decisively to block all shooting space.Some fans of the King couldn't help but cover their eyes, only 4 seconds, the ball is too late to make other moves, does it mean that the game leading by one game will lose at the last critical moment?

However, the moment He Yixiang held the ball, he passed it to Yi Jianlian who was outside the three-point line and then quickly ran back.Then Yi Jianlian passed the ball back tacitly in an instant.There is only one second left in the game, and there are no people sitting in the seats in the arena!At this time, there was no one in front of He Yixiang, and he made a mid-range shot, and the basketball flew through a beautiful arc in the air, and fell into the home hoop.At this moment, the king ascends the throne! ! !
