Chapter 124 Nobody?

What can you do in 5 seconds?

Take a breather, make people decide to buy a product, and restore 125 points of life or magic, or it can be the time when some leading cadres are exhausted.

But five seconds on the court is enough to make a basket, shoot a ball, and make an offense.

After Wade's ball scored, Edison cursed and then applied for a timeout.

Although the benches of the two teams were only 20 meters apart, it was a moment of joy and sorrow.

The Heat players celebrated happily. Dulin on the bench immediately jumped up, yelled and bumped chests with Wade. Then others came over and high-fived Wade one by one. They didn't stop until Stan Van Gundy spoke.

Celebrated.

Although the Magic players could not be said to be dejected, the word "depression" was clearly written on everyone's face.

Edison comforted the players and told them not to think too much and play the last ball seriously, while thinking about how to arrange the last ball.

Because the Heat are only leading by one point and there are still 5 seconds left on the clock, the Magic has many options to choose from and can use any method to complete the final attack. However, precisely because of the many choices, it is troublesome for Edison.

All the pressure is on him, because his tactical arrangements will directly determine the outcome of the game.

But Edison knew that he could not have any hesitation at this time. Once the players saw his lack of confidence, they would be affected and their previous efforts would be in vain. But at this delicate moment, Martin suddenly came to Edison's

around.

"Coach, let me score the last ball. I feel very good today. I think I will definitely score."

After hearing this, Edison did not answer, but looked at Martin seriously. Martin did not dodge, but met Edison's gaze. Edison did not see a flame in his eyes, but felt an inexplicable feeling.

Because Martin is confident, he feels that he can definitely do it. Scoring is a matter of course for him now, so he doesn't need to be excited or excited.

"Okay, then I'll let you take the last shot." If you continue to make mistakes, you will be troubled, and Edison is also very bachelor-minded.

After speaking, Edison clapped his hands twice and called all the players over.

"Wait a minute, Nash, Hill, Martin, Howard and Josh, five of you come out. Let Martin take the last shot."

As soon as Edison finished speaking, everyone else in the Magic glanced at Martin, but there was no doubt in their eyes. Everyone saw Martin's usual scoring ability, and he was fully capable of making the final shot.

Edison did not pay too much attention to the expressions of other players and continued to arrange his own tactics, "Howard and Josh, your two tasks are mainly to cover, because we are a one-time deal, so there is no need for you two to stand under the basket and steal.

There are rebounds, go give them 3 spaces to squeeze out the attack, do you understand? Hill, you serve, after serving, you have to go across the court to the other end, try to disrupt the defensive formation and distract them. Martin

You and Nash try to pull out to catch the ball from the beginning. No matter who catches the ball in the end, the ball must be given to Martin in the end and let him play. Nash, you stand at the top of the key and occupy the space. Are you clear?"

"Got it, coach."

"Okay, now let your mind go, relax, and wait for the show."

"The Magic players have dispersed, and the substitutes have all sat down. It seems that they have decided on the tactics for the final attack." Marv saw the Magic team's strange movement.

"Now the Magic have many options, which can be 2 points or 3 points. But based on past experience, the last shot is mostly completed by Nash and Hill. Of course, the possibility of a strong inside shot cannot be ruled out. There is also Martin, who today

His touch is very good. Maybe Edison will bet on his luck in the end. However, the Magic's inside players and Martin are both rookies. I don't know if they can bear it if the last ball is given to the rookies."...

The bell rang and the Magic players stood up and walked onto the court.

Edison stood in front and patted each player's butt. When Martin came, Edison said to him, "Do a good job, I believe in you."

Martin nodded, said "Yeah", and then trotted to catch up with the people in front of him.

Although the home fans kept making noise during the timeout, when the players from both teams returned to the court, they immediately silenced the sound. There was a brief silence in the entire American Airlines Center, and the only thing that could be heard was the friction between sneakers and the floor.

The "squeaking" sound.

A wall of people formed on both sides again, and when the referee's whistle blew, everyone huddled together.

Because of Stan Van Gundy's arrangement, O'Neal arched his butt and blocked Nash in the penalty area, unable to let him slip out. Because his attention was on Nash, Martin slipped out smoothly, and Hill quickly handed the ball to him.

he.

After Martin caught the ball, he ran towards Hill, and Hill rushed towards him and blocked Eddie Jones who was marking him. However, the Heat players' attention was very high, and Wade immediately made up for it.

Coming up, Martin saw that he had no chance and passed the ball to Nash, who had just reached the top of the key.

There are still 3 seconds left before the end of the game.

"Sure enough, the last ball should be given to Nash. Now let's see the personal performance of the new MVP." The groom was extremely excited because he just guessed it was Nash.

But the ball didn't stay in Nash's hands for too long, and he passed the ball out again in an instant.

It turned out that Martin took advantage of Wade's momentary hesitation after he passed the ball, leaned forward and slipped past him, and Nash's ball happened to reach him.

Everyone knows that Martin shoots very accurately, but at this critical moment, he did not choose a mid-range shot. Instead, he rushed to the basket and slipped to the baseline unexpectedly. After avoiding O'Neal's block, he made a backhand layup.

Kevin Martin, born on February 1, 1983, is a native of Zanesville, Ohio, USA. He is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 84 kilograms. He was selected by the Orlando Magic with the 26th pick in the first round of 2004 and is the first player in the history of Western Carolina University.

The first player to be selected by a professional sports club in the first round. During the regular season of the 2004-05 season, he played 78 times, started 6 times, and averaged 8.6 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.

Before this game, all Heat fans and most people who care about the NBA thought that they would see Shaq O'Neal perform the return of the king, but this unknown guy stole the spotlight and made O'Neal taste the bitterness of failure.

Before the start of this playoffs, all Orlando fans and basketball practitioners believed that this would be the stage for Magic rookies Howard and Josh Smith to prove their status in the league. They would embark on a shining road here, but

This unknown player has become the most shining member of the Magic throughout the playoffs.

When Martin took the shot, everyone in the audience held their breath. They stared at the slowly rising basketball. In a certain sense, this ball would determine the direction of this series.

The red light on the backboard came on and time was up, which meant the Magic had no chance to make amends.

The ball scraped against the backboard, and then started to fall. "Clang", it hit the basket, and Edison felt that his heart was about to jump out. "Cang", the rebounded basketball hit the basket again.

The orange basketball bounced on the rim twice. It took less than one second, but for many people, this second was longer than an hour. Some spectators closed their eyes and did not dare to watch any more.

.

Finally, under the influence of gravity, the basketball fell for the third time, and with a "swish" sound, it fell into the basket.

Seeing the ball go in, the Heat players were silent and the Heat fans were silent.

But the American Airlines Center was not silent. Magic players and fans burst into deafening cheers...

Kevin Martin, as a shooter, used a breakthrough that he was not very good at at the last moment to defeat the powerful Heat. He made 18 of 22 shots from the field, 5 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 more.

Free throws, scoring 46 points, becoming the most dazzling star of the game.

Up to now, Martin is still standing under the basket, staring at the basketball bouncing on the floor. He can't believe that everything just happened is real, and he can't believe that he staged a decisive victory. He just stood there stupidly, motionless.

.

At this time, Howard rushed over from behind him, hugged him around the waist and picked him up. Then he yelled "woohoo" like an African chief while holding Martin in circles, innocently like a child.

Josh Smith and Nash also rushed to the two of them, taking random shots at Martin.

The Magic bench could not stay still for a long time. Under the leadership of Edison, they rushed into the field immediately. Young people have unlimited energy and are always easily excited.

At this time, the Heat players, all with their heads lowered and silent, walked into the tunnel and returned to the locker room.

The irony is that a few minutes ago, the mood of the two teams was exactly the opposite.

Naturally, the home audience did not stay to watch the Magic celebrate. None of them spoke, and they lined up in twos and threes and left the arena.

"In 1997-98, the Orlando Magic defeated the Heat in an away game. Audience friends, this was really a brilliant game." Groom Albert began to sigh.

"It is true that both teams showed their full strength today, and the suspense was left to the last second. Although the Heat lost, they performed very well today, but the game was under their control for a long time." Kevin

Harlan interface.

"Yes, the Heat players performed very well today, whether it was O'Neal, Wade or others. But they lost to two people today, Magic head coach Paul Edison and Kevin Martin. Before this game, Edison

His tactical planning ability is widely praised. Whether it is signing Nash to advance the whole team quickly, or sudden changes after the playoffs, they have been discussed and studied by many practitioners. But today he took out his skills like a magician.

He came up with a new thing, using Diaw to go around to defend O'Neal. This change can be called the highlight of this game. It can be said that his tactical change brought the two teams that were originally at a disadvantage back to the same starting line.

Not to mention Martin, whether it is his 46 points or the final buzzer-beater, they are the key to the Magic's victory in this game. I believe that this rookie will make the headlines in the newspaper tomorrow. But Edison is also in big trouble now.

Diaw and Martin have performed so well, should they be benched next season? That would be too humiliating. But compared with Stan Van Gundy, this is a happy trouble..." According to the practice of the trio,

Steve Kerr made the final concluding remarks.

And just as the three of them were joking about the game, another accident happened in the stadium.
