The time for the outside ball was only 5 seconds. The referee's hand was waving back and forth on the horizontal plane. Every wave was a sign of a second. After the referee finished swinging the fourth stroke, Rubio had no choice but to pass the ball to Towns outside the three-point line.

Although Towns can shoot three-pointers, he has only made more than 20 shots this season. With his inside skills becoming more mature, he has rarely made three-pointers.

At this moment, Batum, who was originally planning to chase the defense, turned around and rushed back after seeing Towns catch the ball.

As soon as Towns received the ball, he encountered Batum's top defense.

Not good at three-pointers, and when the defense is in place, the Lakers' last offense has been very good.

Towns had no choice but to take a three-pointer.

Batum jumped up and tried to interfere, but he couldn't cover it because of his height, but his success affected Towns' shooting rhythm.

Towns made a move almost without aiming at the basket.

The moment he took action, the red light on the sidelines also lit up.

It's a buzzer-beating shot.

After Towns took the ball, everyone at the scene looked at the flying basketball.

A bad chance to win determines whether both sides need to play overtime next.

Although the shooting was not good, the basketball trajectory was still very correct.

"Swish!"

There was a crisp sound, and the scene exploded immediately.

"The ultimate kill! This is the ultimate kill! Carl did it! He did it, a final kill!" Benz shouted wildly in the commentary seat.

There was a burst of cheers like a sea of ​​cheers at the scene.

Towns hit an incredible winning goal.

The Lakers eventually lost with 3 points.

The celebration after the final victory began on the scene, and the Lakers players seemed a little lonely and walked towards the bench, and Billups and Xiao also entered the player channel directly.

They were only 2 seconds away from the opportunity, but unfortunately Towns' super-god performance finally allowed the Timberwolves to take away the victory.

"Hey, guys, come here." Tang Shuai didn't care about the crazy celebration at the scene at this time and shouted to the team members.

When the players gathered, he signaled everyone to put their hands on each other's shoulders in a circle. He followed and said, "It's a pity that we lost. We caught up with the 15-point difference. We have done the best we can do. We will win back from the game. We must believe this."

The players were originally a little depressed, but when they heard Tang Shuai say something, their faces eased a lot. Although Tangs finally won the game against the will, they did catch up with the 15-point difference. If they played a little better in the first half, they would have won the game long ago.

Seeing that the team members' expressions calmed down, Tang Shuai then raised his hand in front of him.

The Lakers players then folded their hands one by one.

"Lakes!"

"come on!"

The players shouted, attracting the attention of the audience on the sidelines.

They then went back to the locker room.

When Billups came to the locker room, he was ready to say something to comfort the players, but when he saw that the players were almost recovering, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He swallowed the words he had prepared, but said, "Everyone played well in the second half, keep confidence and strive to win the next game."

"Coach, don't worry, we will win." Noel said, because it was his first time participating in the playoffs and was woken up by Tang Shuai's scolding, he was the most open-minded.

Bilups nodded, then pointed at Tang Shuai and Deng and said, "Tang, Ruhr, you go with me to attend the press conference."

Although he lost, the Lakers' performance in the second half was remarkable, and there were many news media present.

"Coach Changxi, the Lakers played completely different teams in the first and second half today. Can you share with us what happened in the midfield?" The reporter asked this question naturally.

"Well, this is the first game in the playoffs. Our players haven't played in the playoffs for a long time. The first half is a bit out of rhythm. Fortunately, we got back in the second half. Although we finally lost the game, I am proud of my players. They played a tough second half." Billups continued.

"Well, as far as I know, there were some quarrels in the locker room during the midfield. Is it related to this?" the reporter asked.

When he heard the reporter's question, Tang Shuai and Deng looked at each other, and then looked at the reporter in confusion. How did he know?

"Well..." Billups paused for a moment, then looked at the reporter who asked the question, "regardless of whether the alliance allows this kind of behavior, eavesdropping outside the locker room is not too glorious."

The reporter's face turned red, and then said apologetically: "Sorry, I just happened to pass by."

Billups did not continue to ask questions, but instead smiled and said, "Since you asked, I have nothing to hide. In the midfield, Don, our ace, he motivated the players in his own way. Although I was not there at that time, the result was obvious. His way played a role, so this was not the quarrel you said."

The reporter nodded suddenly and then looked at Tang Shuai.

"Sorry, these are some of the best in our team, and I'm not convenient to reveal it." Tang Shuai said bluntly. Although it doesn't matter, those words obviously cannot be said in public.

Billups smiled and spread his hands.

The reporter had to sit down.

"Tang, your performance today was excellent, with 40 points and 9 assists, and at the last moment of the game, he even hit a difficult three-pointer to tie the score. Unfortunately, he lost the game in the end. Will this make you feel regretful, or will it affect your performance in the next game?" Another reporter named stood up and asked.

"No, I won't feel regretful. On the contrary, I will be encouraged. What my teammates and I see is not just a winning goal, but we also see the limit we can do. We caught up with the 15-point difference. You know, this is not an easy thing in such a high-intensity game, but we did it, which shows that we are not without strength. We will definitely play better in the next game." Tang Shuai said firmly.

"Carl is a sophomore player like you. He also scored 30 points and 15 rebounds in this game. Isn't this awesome feeling? You have competed for the best rookie together, and were selected for the All-Star Game for two consecutive years. Now we meet again in the playoffs. You seem to become the next pair of enemies in the league?"
