Legendary basketball manager

The last 40 seconds.

Mark Jackson didn't call a timeout, but let the players figure it out themselves.

Curry is very sensible, knowing that this kind of moment belongs to the boss of the team, so he handed the ball to McGrady in the backcourt.

t-mac carries the ball through half court.

At the last moment, the Thunder handed over the burden of defending McGrady to Harden.

At this time, Brother Deng was very active in defense, not the "eye defense" of the Rockets in the original time and space.

When the Thunder played against the Spurs in the first round, coach Brooks repeatedly asked Harden to defend Ginobili at critical moments.

Harden did not live up to the trust of the coach, and he restricted the demon sword quite well.

And now, his task has become more difficult, and he will defend the new mvp!

Harden lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands, and stared at McGrady, with a high degree of concentration.

Soon, McGrady launched an offensive!

He approached Harden while dribbling the ball under his hips, and every time he changed hands, he was accompanied by a shake of his shoulders.

At the same time, McGrady dribbles at a very low height, and every time the basketball bounces, the height is below the knee.

Harden was not sure about the ball at all, coupled with the fear of t-mac's super fast first step, he could only retreat while defending.

In this way, McGrady approached the three-point line step by step.

Then, he suddenly exerted strength, swayed left and right, and directly accelerated to pass Harden!

In the Thunder penalty area, Ibaka reacted quickly and moved laterally in front of McGrady.

But McGrady, who started fast, was already unstoppable!

I saw him leaping high, trying to buckle.

Ibaka struggled to take off, trying to compete with Tiangong!

I have to say that the young man jumped really high, and he was on par with McGrady for a while!

In the blink of an eye, t-mac, relying on his strong waist and abdomen, forcibly canceled the dunk action, switched the ball to his left hand, and picked the basket with his low hand...

Ibaka stared wide-eyed, flew past McGrady, and watched the ball fall into the net!

120: 121.

The Rockets overtook the score again!

Toyota Center is boiling again.

Rockets fans in uniform stood up and cheered, turning the stadium into a sea of ​​red.

At this time, there are still 30 seconds before the end of the game.

Both the Thunder and Rockets have one timeout left.

Westbrook looked at the head coach standing on the sidelines.

Brooks waved his hand, signaling the players to start attacking.

He wants to save the last timeout and wait and see!

Westbrook nods, carries the ball across half court, and hands it to Durant.

George took a stride, slapped the floor with both hands, and stared straight at the basketball in Durant's hand.

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

The atmosphere at the scene has reached its peak.

Even Shen Fei in the stands, his palms were sweating.

Soon, Durant moved.

However, before kd had time to make any moves, the moment he dropped the ball, Pickle rushed forward with a stride, and put pressure on Durant with physical contact.

At this critical moment, the referee will generally let the players decide the final result.

George knows that as long as the action is not too excessive, he will not be called a foul.

So this time, he bodyed Durant very fiercely!

KD was hit a few times, and quickly turned sideways, separating the basketball and George with his body.

In normal times, he would protect the ball while observing the Rockets' defensive arrangement.

But now time is running out. After Durant found a chance to breathe, he immediately switched to offensive mode.

He first took a big step with his left foot, making a sudden gesture, and then immediately dribbled the ball back under his crotch and returned to the original point.

But this time and again, George has unconsciously stepped back, allowing Durant to gain more space.

Kd immediately entered the rhythm, dribbled the ball with his right hand and switched to his left hand, and then made a crossover!

George was shaken for a bit, but he immediately adjusted his center of gravity in small steps and returned to the defensive position.

At the same time, Paojiao guessed that Durant would do a right-handed crossover next, just like he used the double changeover before.

The next moment, kd really changed direction with his right hand.

"Snapped!"

George's tricks, he actually broke the ball directly!

"Roar!!!"

A fan in the stands immediately roared excitedly.

George took control of the ball and went to the Thunder's hinterland.

As long as this fast break can be completed, the Rockets will be almost invincible!

At the same time, Durant, who was intercepted, rushed to catch up.

He gritted his teeth, strode his long legs, and rushed towards George like crazy.

Pickle noticed Durant behind him from the corner of his eye.

But he was not afraid, stepped forward to collect the ball, jumped with both feet, and planned to have a "fast and furious" game with kd!

Looking at physical talent alone, Durant is more static and George is more dynamic.

In the current situation, pickled peppers should be the last ones.

But superstars can often create miracles at critical moments!

In the blink of an eye, Durant jumped high, bursting out with greater strength than usual, and nailed George's dunk to the board from behind.

"woo..."

The fans at the scene were shocked.

They thought they had the chance to win, but the game turned upside down again!

And, Durant's show isn't over yet...

After completing the nail plate cap, he immediately held the ball and advanced towards the Rockets half court.

Curry glanced at Westbrook in front of him, and then at Durant who was coming from a gallop...

[what can we do about it? ]

Curry hesitated, left Westbrook decisively, and ran to Durant.

Westbrook immediately raised his hands high, indicating that he was empty.

At this time, Durant has pursuers behind and intercepted in front.

Teammates were emptied and he was double-teamed. Faced with such a situation, I believe any star can make a wise choice!

So kd decisively received the ball, facing Curry in front of him, and shot one meter from the three-point line.

Curry takes off to block the shot... Failed!

George also jumped up behind kd... Failed!

After the basketball left Durant's fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

123: 121.

The Thunder lead by two points!

The Toyota Center was instantly dead silent.

Some of the fans were stunned, some opened their mouths wide, and some covered the back of their heads with their hands...

Since the start of the season, this is the first time they have encountered such a situation!

In the stands, Stern was surprised at first, and then looked at Shen Fei beside him.

"Shen, this ball really doesn't make sense, Paul and Stephen have no problem defending it."

Stern said with a slight smile.

Since Shen Fei appeared, Stern has not seen him deflated.

Now that Durant has almost killed the game with his personal ability, Stern is somewhat watching the fun.

But Shen Fei was very calm, and just replied lightly: "This kind of shot is normal in the playoffs. Durant's shot is not bad, and he left us 15 seconds after the shot."

After Stern heard this, his appreciation for Shen Fei deepened in his heart.

The young man was flattered.

In the face of praise from fans all over the world, he did not swell.

When the team was in a headwind, he was also calm and composed.

[This is a man who can accomplish great things...]

Stern sighed inwardly.

............

On the field, Mark Jackson called the Rockets' final timeout.

With a two-point difference, they have plenty of time to change the situation!

On the Thunder bench, a group of people began to speculate on the Rockets' offensive options.

"I think they should attack for two points. Even if they don't score, they still have the opportunity to use foul tactics."

Westbrook analyzed.

"It's like this for ordinary teams, but the Rockets... I wouldn't be surprised if they rushed to shoot three-pointers. You still have to be prepared."

Durant touched the stubble on his chin and said.

"Kevin is right, so let's defend normally."

"In addition, no matter which strategy the Rockets choose for this attack, the ball must be handled by McGrady, so our defensive focus is very clear."

"James, you continue to defend t-mac, and the others are always ready to flank!"

Brooks looked at Harden and said.

Harden nodded.

Although he failed to defend McGrady last time, he was not discouraged at all.

On the contrary, Harden is still very eager to face McGrady again.

"Defend the round and we'll be able to take the win home."

"We gave everything tonight, now it's time to reap the fruits, everyone must hold on to this last breath!"

Brooks clapped his hands and encouraged the players.

The generals of Thunder nodded one after another, their fighting spirit was high.

Under the action of adrenaline, the young man forgot about being tired at this moment, and returned to his best condition.

"o. three!"

"go. thunders!!!!"

............

The camera turned and came to the Rockets bench.

At this time the Rockets were in an extremely unfavorable situation, but the players did not panic too much.

"Paul, you just finished a really good defense. Not coincidentally, you also had a good defense after that."

Tony Allen, in casual clothes, said seriously to George.

The current teacher Tony, with a thick plaster cast on his hands, can only cheer for his teammates off the court.

George nodded, but his expression was somewhat annoyed.

"Come on, let's talk about the last attack. At this moment, the opponent will definitely focus on marking Tracy. So, guys, if the ball is in your hands, you must make a bold shot when necessary!"

"Now we are two points behind, there is still plenty of time. If we can get an easy chance to attack the frame in a short period of time, that is the best situation."

"If there is no such opportunity, we don't have to be limited to two points. If there is an opportunity from the outside, we must make a bold shot!"

Mark Jackson arranged.

After talking about the general idea, he quickly drew two more tactics, and then the timeout came.

"Come on, guys. There is an old saying in Huaxia, it's up to people to make things happen. Just do your best and don't be burdened!"

Mark Jackson served up a bowl of hot chicken soup at the end.

............

The time-out is over and the game continues.

George came to the sideline to serve, and the rest of the Rockets lined up.

Seeing this, Su Qun explained: "This is a classic starburst tactic, let us wait and see."

As the referee handed the ball to the referee, the Rockets began to move.

After a series of pick-and-rolls and reverse runs, Tracy McGrady managed to get away from Harden and came to the three-point line to receive the ball.

But after receiving the ball, Westbrook and Harden immediately flanked him.

Westbrook jumped so fiercely that he even staggered McGrady when trying to get the ball.

This is undoubtedly a foul, but the referee hesitated for a moment and did not blow the whistle.

McGrady's center of gravity was unstable and he couldn't launch a normal attack at all.

And Westbrook and Harden were unreasonable and rushed towards t-mac together.

At this time, McGrady noticed Curry who was running to meet him.

Without hesitation, he jumped high and passed the ball over the heads of the Vuitton duo.

But the Thunder's defensive rotation was very quick.

When Curry received the ball, Ibaka had rushed to him from the inside.

Curry didn't panic at all, and looked up at the basket.

The next moment, Ibaka flew out directly.

Curry dribbled the ball on the spot, adjusted his step, and shot a three-pointer...

"Shu~"

Three-point arrow, the flames of hell!

As soon as the goal was scored, the score became 123:124, and the Rockets once again overtook the score.

Brooks on the sidelines immediately called a timeout.

The Thunder generals sadly walked back to the bench.

On the Rockets side, the substitute players came out in full force to welcome the return of the "hero".

Yao Ming patted Curry's crew cut fiercely.

McGrady landed a powder punch on his chest.

Lowry, who was running wildly, jumped up and bumped his chest passionately with Curry.

The Rockets players seem to have foreseen victory!

............

The timeout was quickly over and the game resumed.

In the last 10 seconds, the Thunder had plenty of time to come back again.

Harden stepped out of bounds and took the basketball from the referee.

Afterwards, the Thunder generals began to move wildly.

At the same time, all the fans at the scene stood up and cheered for the players of the home team!

The Rockets' defense is excellent.

Harden waited and waited, but did not find a chance to pass to Durant.

Looking at Westbrook again, he was also tightly guarded.

On the far end of the court, Cook has a chance to catch the ball.

But it was George who stood in front of Harden and interfered with the serve!

This kind of difficult pass is a little careless, and it is likely to be directly blocked by pickled peppers.

Seeing that the 5-second serve time was about to run out, Harden had to pass the ball to Collison.

Then Brother Deng immediately started, and played hand-in-hand with Collison, and successfully got the ball.

George followed and rushed to the defensive position immediately.

A fight ensued between the two.

George defended very fiercely, almost forcing Harden from the three-point line to the midfield.

But even so, Harden still did not panic.

He suddenly lowered his center of gravity, stepped out with his left foot, and made a crotch dribble.

The next moment, he changed direction early and switched the ball back to his right hand.

killercrossover (killer change direction)!

This is the Beatles - Hardaway's signature action.

Harden perfectly reproduced it at such a critical moment!

George was swayed, his center of gravity shifted backwards.

At this time, Shen Fei in the stands already had a bad premonition in his heart.

[Could it be... to trigger George's passive skills? ]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

As we all know, in addition to his silky dribbling and domineering dunks, George also has a special attribute!
