The Eastern team's offense was blocked. Chen Jie had no choice but to force a shot, but Kobe's defense was too tight. It was impossible for Chen Jie to score. All he could do was to let the basketball touch the basket as much as possible.
The basket will not cause a 24-second offensive violation, and teammates can still rush for rebounds.
Chen Jie did what he wished.
The basketball hit the basket and bounced.
However, Garnett also judged in advance, stood in a good position, and took off high.
He is the league's rebounding leader, and his rebounding ability is evident. Garnett's judgment on this ball was correct and he took off sufficiently. Does the Eastern team really have a chance to grab the rebound?
Many people think the answer is no. With Garnett here, there is no suspense about this rebound.
And this is how things actually developed.
Garnett jumped up, and the basketball moved obediently into Garnett's hand.
It seems that Garnett will add another rebound to his statistics. The Western team will successfully defend the Eastern team's attack, and they will have a chance to expand their lead.
But at this moment......
Suddenly a red figure jumped high behind Garnett.
In this game, the jerseys of the Eastern and Western Conferences were all bordered in red, so for the first time, people could not tell whether this person was a Western or Eastern player.
But the next second, when he hit the ball hard with his palm before it fell into Garnett's hands, people saw it.
He is the young O'Neal who was frustrated in his previous offense and wasted the time Iverson bought!
Little O'Neal jumped up high and hit the ball hard.
He redeemed himself and gave the Eastern team a chance to grab rebounds again.
But at this moment, the Western team still has Tracy McGrady on the outside, while the Eastern team only has a short Iverson!
Iverson and McGrady definitely have no advantage when competing for rebounds!
But Iverson refused to admit defeat and jumped up. The basketball did not fly in the direction of McGrady obediently. McGrady needed to move to take off, so Iverson had a chance. He touched the basketball, although he did not touch it. But the basketball
It changed its flight path and fell to the floor.
Fighting for the ball on the floor, McGrady lowered his center of gravity and threw himself out.
However, Iverson was faster than him. After landing, Iverson quickly fell down, made a running dive, and took control of the basketball before McGrady.
On this side, James immediately came up to help Iverson, and Iverson, who was still on the ground, passed the ball to James!
The Eastern team grabbed this twist and turn rebound.
And the heroes are Iverson and O'Neal who were blocked in the two attacks just now and wasted the attack time, forcing Chen Jie to force a shot!
This goal undoubtedly gave the Eastern team more morale!
On the bench of the Eastern Team, many players were already jumping up and waving towels in celebration.
Although this is not a score, the desperate posture displayed by the Eastern team shows how much they desire victory!
This is a bunch of superstars!
They fought so awkwardly for a rebound that two of them even fell to the floor.
This is a fierce competition! Even the word fierce is not enough to describe this competition!
After James got the ball, there was exactly one minute left in the game.
The game has entered the countdown stage!
James was not greedy for credit and gave the ball to Chen Jie, who had already bypassed the baseline.
Chen Jie ran from the right to the left, receiving a pass from James. Kobe followed Chen Jie, also running from the right to the left.
But after Chen Jie caught the ball, he didn't even pause at all. He changed direction and ran from left to right.
After receiving the pass from James, he made such a change of direction!
Kobe Bryant, who had been following Chen Jie, obviously didn't react to Chen Jie changing direction so quickly. He didn't follow Chen Jie the first time.
Chen Jie passed Kobe directly, and then he went inside.
Inside, Garnett, who had not grabbed the rebound just now, was a little depressed. Seeing Chen Jie coming in, Garnett stepped forward fiercely, collided with Chen Jie, and at the same time jumped up to block Chen Jie.
Jay's shot.
After colliding with Garnett, Chen Jie was almost bounced away. He forced himself to control his body and threw the basketball.
Compare!
The referee blew his whistle and Garnett fouled!
There is nothing wrong with this ball. Garnett's blocking is very obvious.
What everyone is concerned about is the basketball thrown by Chen Jie.
Garnett didn't touch it and the basketball was still flying toward the basket. Will it go in?
The answer will be revealed in a second!
brush!
The basketball goes into the hoop!
The Eastern team scored 124 points, leading the Western team by one point. Chen Jie still had a chance to add a penalty!
Garnett didn't go to the referee to argue, he knew it was his own foul.
On the Eastern Team's side, O'Neal Jr. and Iverson both came up to help Chen Jie stand up. Their expressions were ferocious and they roared together, their voices almost shocking the stadium.
It can be seen that this ball is a great morale booster!
If it were a normal regular season, such a recovered goal would definitely help the team make a small splash.
Chen Jie was quite calm, without roaring or exaggerating in celebration, but his slightly clenched fist still revealed his innermost feelings!
How much he longs for victory can be seen from this action!
The game stopped and it took the players from both sides about half a minute to stand where they should be.
Chen Jie stood at the free throw line, took a deep breath, and threw the ball steadily.
brush!
Another goal!
The Eastern team leads by two points.
Chen Jie, 47 points!
It’s already an incredible score!
There were fifty seconds left in the game, and the two teams still did not call a timeout. The Western team sent a baseline kick, and the game continued!
This time, it was no longer Kobe who was attacking the Western team. McGrady used a screen to break into the paint and hit the basketball with a lever.
On the Eastern team's side, Iverson hit a jumper.
There is still a two-point difference, but the game time is getting shorter and shorter.
There are 20 seconds left, which is the Eastern team's chance to attack.
Obviously, the ball came into Kobe's hands.
Overtime, or a buzzer beater?
It's entirely up to Kobe to decide.
The person standing in front of Kobe is still Chen Jie, and the final result of the game still has to be decided by these two people.
These two were the stars of the night!
20 seconds, a 2-point difference, is enough.
Kobe can shoot a three-pointer, in which case the Western Conference team will win directly, or he can break through and layup for two points, in which case it will be overtime.
Of course, if Chen Jie can defend against it, then the Eastern team will win!
What will be the result of the game? (To be continued...)
