Chris Paul was wandering around the three-point line. Adrian knew that he wanted to waste time, in order to leave as little time as possible for the Orlando Magic to make the last shot and reduce the success rate of the Orlando Magic's last shot.
The time of this attack must be squeezed to the limit. It is best to completely waste up the 24 seconds of attack time.
Adrian followed Chris Paul step by step, not daring to give him even a little space. The time on the timer was getting less and less, 6 seconds, 5 seconds and 4 seconds... The less time, Adrian
My heart became more and more nervous.
As the time passed to 3 seconds, Chris Paul finally moved. He started suddenly and quickly, instantly throwing Adrian away half his body, and then jumped high into the air.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Thump!" The moment Adrian hit a solid body, his heart went cold. Even though Adrian quickly bypassed Tyson Chandler and jumped high, the moment of delay was over.
It was enough for Chris Paul to take a shot calmly, and all Adrian could catch was the air as the basketball flew past.
The red light came on, the buzzer of the timer was extremely noisy, and the basketball was still flying in the air. The referee raised his head and looked at the basketball flying in the air. He could see clearly that Chris Paul had taken the shot before time ran out.
Immediately, the red light came on after Chris Paul took action.
"Uh-huh..." Without any malicious use of any suspense, the basketball simply got into the hoop. Even though Kwame Brown and Marcin Gortat were stuck in the basket, they were unable to meet it.
Come to any opportunity to grab backcourt rebounds.
Chris Paul, three-pointer!
110:111. With only 6 seconds left in the game, the Hornets finally ushered in the moment of overtaking.
Stan Van Gundy immediately jumped up and called a timeout. Tyson, Chandler, and David West all rushed towards Chris Paul, who was still raising his hands in the basketball shooting posture, and surrounded him as if
Surrounded by his own king, he returned to the bench with a smile.
Among the crowd, Adrian clearly saw Chris Paul turning around and smiling provocatively at him, opening and closing his mouth. He couldn't hear clearly what he was talking about. But Adrian could guess it.
There is nothing nice to say.
Compared to the laughter on the Hornets' bench, the Magic's bench was tense. Stan Van Gundy urgently arranged for the next players to play, Turkoglu, Lewis, Maurice Evans, Ah.
Derian, Keith Bogans, the last shot, there is no need to worry about defense and rebounding issues, it is more serious to put the best shooting player on the court.
"Xida, serve the ball to Adrian, Adrian. Everything is left to you."
"Then leave it to me." Adrian stood up: "Just leave the ball to me. There is nothing I can't do."
Is Adrian sure?
Six seconds. One chance to attack.
If you score, you will win. If you fail to score, you will accept defeat. A buzzer beater is just a choice between scoring or not. A perfect certainty? Adrian doesn’t have that kind of thing at all. But he is the leader and the absolute core of the Magic team.
, no one in this team can stand up and bear this kind of responsibility before him.
The decisive blow can only be entrusted to him to execute, and only he has the qualifications to execute it. It is not whether it can be done, or whether it can be done, but it must be done, and fight to the end, whether it is failure or victory, whether it is honor or honor
Adrian must shoulder all responsibilities. The moment he chose to become a leader, he should have understood that he must take on such responsibilities. In the future, if he wants to continue to be a leader, he must continue to take on these responsibilities.
Such responsibility.
Since we must take on such a responsibility, there is nothing to hesitate about.
After thinking about all this, Adrian's heart felt weirdly calm. That heart, the beating red heart, not only did not bang because of the upcoming test, but instead calmly, slowly, but also beneficially moved the warm heart.
Blood was sent throughout his body.
It was the first time that Adrian was clearly asked to undertake the task of killing in this way. Adrian was not nervous, but felt that his hands and feet were full of strength.
For the Magic, they have many choices in this last attack. They can take risks and pursue three points to end the game directly, or they can be more conservative and choose two points to drag the game into overtime. In terms of physical strength, the Magic have a small
It's a small advantage. After all, after resting for many days, everyone has sufficient physical strength, so they are not afraid of playing overtime.
Stan Van Gundy radically believes that three-pointers are the best. After all, they will face the Cavaliers two days later. The Hornets are difficult to beat. Although the Cavaliers were defeated by the Magic last month, they are not an easy bone to chew. If it is consumed by the Hornets,
He has spent too much energy, and will inevitably be at a disadvantage when facing the Cavaliers two days later.
Therefore, he arranged some pick-and-roll cooperation in detail. Although the ball was given to Adrian, Adrian did not have to take the shot himself. After all, the Magic team had five players on the court who could shoot three-pointers. Lewis
Needless to say, Turkoglu was not in good condition today and hit three three-pointers. Evans's three-pointers were also good. Although Bogans' three-pointers were a little short, he could also make an open shot.
Quite confident.
The timeout passed quickly. Turkoglu served outside the court, and Tyson Chandler interfered. Turkoglu tried several times but failed to release the basketball. Seeing that the five-second serve time was about to come, slightly
As soon as he thought about it, Turkoglu, with the interference of Tyson Chandler, used his reflection to throw the basketball in the direction of Adrian, and at the same time shouted: "Jump!"
Turkoglu throws very high, and ordinary outside players will definitely not be able to catch such a pass, but Adrian is different. On the one hand, his height and wingspan are higher than ordinary outside players, and his jumping is also good.
Turkoglu was deeply impressed. Although Adrian rarely demonstrated his superhuman jumping on the court, in training, Adrian could actually touch the top edge of the backboard.
When Turkoglu yelled, Adrian understood what he was thinking. Seeing the basketball about to fly over his head, Adrian leaned down slightly and jumped with all his strength!
The basketball was passed high and in the air. Fortunately, Turkoglu's force was not very strong. When he reached Adrian's position, the basketball had already started to fall a little bit. Half of his palm touched the basketball. Adrian
He immediately blocked the basketball down, stretched out his right hand at the same time, and barely put the basketball into his arms, and the timer started rolling rapidly.
As soon as he landed, Chris Paul immediately got entangled and double-teamed Adrian with Maurice Peterson.
"Basketball!" Rashard Lewis shouted with his hands raised. Peterson and Paul double-teamed Adrian. After the pick-and-roll, Keith Bogans blocked the defender for him, and now he is open. Adrian
He raised his hand and passed the basketball in the direction of Rashard Lewis as if he was listening to the sound.
Peterson was shocked and rushed towards Rashad Lewis. On the Magic court, the biggest three-point threat was Rashard Lewis. Adrian didn't take many three-pointers today, only six.
He hit two of them, and the shooting rate was not too high. On the contrary, Lewis's three-pointers were very accurate, and it was too dangerous to leave him open.
With this thought in mind, Peterson quickly let go of Adrian and pounced on Rashad. After running for two steps, he realized that Rashad had never caught the basketball in his hands. When he looked back, he only saw the basketball.
Adrian was already jumping high into the sky.
Adrian jumped too high. He obviously took off with all his strength and leaned back slightly. Even though Chris Paul took off with all his strength and stretched his arms with all his strength, he was still far away from Adrian's sight.
a distance.
The moment Peterson let go of Adrian, Paul knew something was going to happen. He had no time to speak and he could only take off first. If he took off after Adrian, he would have no way to defend Adrian's shot unless he
A direct foul, but a direct foul is equivalent to sending Adrian to the free throw line. With Adrian's free throw shooting rate of over 85%, sending him to the free throw line is no different from sending points.
But even if he takes off early, when Adrian jumps up, he will still be left with only despair. The height gap is really too big. This gap cannot be made up by any effort or technology. Chris Paul has never been
He had been concerned about his shortcomings in height, because although his height made him disadvantageous in defense, it also gave him advantages that others did not have. But at this moment, he desperately hoped that he could suddenly grow another ten centimeters, as long as he grew taller
Ten centimeters, at least he can interfere with Adrian's shooting sight...
No matter how hard he works, it's impossible for his height to suddenly increase by ten centimeters...
Adrian was completely calm. His right hand holding the basketball was as stable as iron. He didn't feel any tension. He even had time to observe the remaining time on the timer, and then he dialed out the timer steadily and forcefully.
basketball in hand.
When the basketball was flying in the air, the timer's buzzer sounded, indicating the end of the game. Adrian, who landed on the ground, did not pay attention to the basketball still flying in the air like others. He turned around and turned his back.
Facing the basket, he raised his right hand and pointed at the number behind him.
That's his number!
No. 1!
He was so confident that he didn't feel any apprehension at all.
The possibility of not scoring this goal was already killed by him the moment he shot it!
Uh-huh...
The crisp sound of wiping the net fell into Adrian's ears exactly on time! (To be continued...)
