Wen Hao dribbled the ball all the way to the front court, and the Kings players rushed to retreat. Thomas chased Wen Hao all the way to the front court. He clenched his fists, frowned, and secretly said: No matter what, we must
Prevent the Chinese from getting to the basket.
When Thomas reached the three-point line, he finally caught up with Wen Hao and passed Wen Hao from the side.
But when Wen Hao came outside the three-point line, he did not continue to move forward, but suddenly stopped and jumped. As soon as he stopped like this, Thomas was two positions ahead of him, and he wanted to stop in desperation.
He turned around to block the shot, but because his body couldn't keep up with the reaction speed of his brain, he fell directly to the ground. At the same time, Wen Hao's three-pointer suddenly hit, and the "swish" sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue, making Thomas tremble all over.
"Three points, only three points away. Oh my god, Wen Hao hit another three-pointer!" The man who left the game early parked his car on the side of the road and watched the game on his iPad with his son. When Wen Hao hit another three-pointer!
When three points were counted, the two of them shouted in unison. The father held his son tightly in his arms, while the son raised his arms and kept shouting: "Chinese, Chinese, Chinese..."
The performance of these two father and son is the epitome of all the fans watching this game. At the Toyota Center, the fans were ecstatic. Although there are only twenty-nine seconds left on the clock and the score is still three points behind, Wen Hao's performance
The three-pointer was enough to excite all fans. This goal brought hope to Houston.
The Kings coach had to request a timeout again. With the last twenty-nine seconds left, he had to think about how to use up the twenty-four seconds of offense and score a goal steadily. Even if he couldn't score, he couldn't let the Rockets do it.
Make it a fast break.
"Serve from the baseline, Thomas goes to meet the ball, and then slowly brings it to the frontcourt," the Kings head coach said while quickly drawing on the tactical board. "After bringing it to the frontcourt, he controls the ball until the last six or seven seconds, and then Cousin
Thomas used the screen as a screen for Thomas. Thomas used the screen to get into the paint. If he had a chance, he would take the shot himself. If there was no chance, he would pass to the outside and shoot a three-pointer. At this time, they will definitely think that we scored two points, and we will surprise them.
"
"So, coach, what if they press the whole court when we serve? They may even double-team the ball holder. What should we do?" Cousins thought for a while and asked.
"Then before the serve, if they have more than two people staying in the backcourt, then Thomas, you can pretend to catch the ball, and then suddenly run away, and Cousins will come to the frontcourt to receive the ball. Of course, you can also each other.
After setting the screen, you catch the ball, and when you get to the frontcourt, you do as I say."
"Yes." The Kings players were excited. They have won the whole game and cannot lose in the last half minute. And if they lose again, this will already be their tenth consecutive defeat. This is very important to them.
It's an unbearable shame.
However, God is not as good as man. Their head coach worked hard and thought hard to arrange such tactics for them, but unexpectedly when they served, there was no tacit understanding between passing and receiving, and the ball was sent directly out of bounds. Their coach
The coach held his head and sighed.
This mistake disrupted all the Kings' plans. The Kings' players were a little unresponsive. The Kings coach did. He knew that the Rockets coach was going to call a timeout to arrange the last attack, so he had already walked to the sidelines.
He planned to arrange one last defense for his players.
McHale did stand up and planned to call a timeout.
But at this moment, Wen Hao threw the ball to the referee, stood in the serving position, and then opened his hand to ask the referee for the ball.
Before a timeout was called, the game continued, so the referee threw the ball back to Wen Hao. After Wen Hao got the ball, he served to Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin also understood and rushed forward like a gust of wind. By the time the Kings players reacted, Jeremy Lin had already reached the Kings basket and it was too late for them to stop him. Jeremy Lin scored an easy layup.
McHale was about to make a timeout gesture midway through, and then stopped in the air. The changes on the court happened so fast that even he, the head coach, didn't react. It seemed that in just an instant, the Rockets were only 1 point behind.
, and there are still twenty-six seconds left at this time. In other words, after the Rockets defend against an opponent's attack, they still have at least two seconds of chance to kill.
The head coach of the Kings was a little angry. A carefully planned attack suddenly turned into a mistake, and the opponent also made a fast break, narrowing the point difference to 1 point. What the hell was going on.
This time he did not call a timeout, but shouted to the players: "Just follow the attack I just arranged!"
The players did not dare to neglect, and they were much more careful this time. They did not make any more mistakes and safely moved the ball to the frontcourt. The Kings coach breathed a sigh of relief.
Thomas was holding the ball, delaying time as the coach had just arranged, while the Rockets were also carefully positioning themselves to defend, making sure to prevent the ball.
Thomas didn't go to Wen Hao this time. Although Wen Hao's defense was only average or below, his never-giving spirit made Thomas a little timid. So this time, he chose Jones.
After Thomas and Cousins finished the pick-and-roll, they happened to meet Jones. Facing Harden's defense, he showed no fear and even looked down upon him. He first explored his upper body to the left, then to the right, and then suddenly retreated.
One step. This is a commonly used move by the bearded Harden. The next step is a jump shot.
As Harden's teammate, Jones naturally knew this and immediately pounced on him. But the moment he pounced on him, Thomas suddenly dodged Jones.
He was secretly proud of himself. He was just like crossing a pillar when he passed Jones. This was the advantage of a small one over a big one.
But before he could finish his thoughts, he felt his hands were empty. He was shocked, and he quickly looked down and saw that the ball had been lost. Looking back, he saw that Jones had dribbled the ball and ran in the opposite direction.
Although Jones' defense was mediocre, at the last minute, he played extremely focused. The moment Thomas passed him, he took the ball lightly from behind.
Jones dribbled the ball and ran forward. There were still five seconds left on the clock. The entire audience had stood up. This was the last ball, and success or failure depended on it. All their hopes were pinned on Jones. Although Jones was very
It is rare to execute such a crucial offense, but at the last moment, now, we can only look at Jones. Other than that, there is no other way.
However, the Kings did not give up. They followed Jones forward like a flood. Thomas, in particular, looked like he was on a skateboard. In just a few steps, he surpassed Jones and stood in front of Jones.
At this critical moment, Jones showed his special skills. As a power forward, he actually used Harden's best European step. In two steps, he had already passed Thomas and came to the free throw line. He
His left hand has been raised, intending to throw.
But after such a delay, Cousins has already caught up. If Jones takes a shot, he will definitely be blocked.
Seeing this, the entire audience exclaimed, could this last shot be aborted?
Jones was in the air, and his heart was tight. But fortunately, he heard Wen Hao's cry "come back" from behind.
Jones could no longer turn his head to look, so he could only follow the sound and pass it backwards. Wen Hao, who was following behind, came just outside the three-point line. Seeing the ball flying towards him, he had already stretched out his right hand to get it.
ball.
"Don't even think about it!"
Thomas roared angrily and pounced on Wen Hao. Throughout the fourth quarter, he had had enough of this Rockets kid. He absolutely couldn't let this kid succeed with the last shot.
He felt fierce in his heart, and his feet seemed to have increased strength. With such a pounce, it seemed that Wen Hao was unable to take action.
However, Wen Hao didn't catch the ball with his right hand, but just touched it lightly, and the ball seemed to rebound and bounced to a 45-degree angle.
There, Dayao arrived just in time. The moment he got the ball, he had a feeling in his heart that the ball was bound to hit. Following this feeling, he tipped his toes and threw the ball.
The Kings center wanted to block the shot, but he was far out of reach of Yao's height of 2.26 meters. He could only watch the ball fly over his head. Behind him, a "swish" sound came, and he was instantly lifted from the air.
shoot down.
Time has stopped, the picture has been frozen, and the Toyota Center is silent.
But like the calm before the storm, a moment later, the Toyota Center exploded. Countless arms stretched into the air, countless voices rushed out of countless throats, and countless eyes filled with excited tears...
Drexler, the veteran of the Rockets, had forgotten that he was a commentator. He slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Kill! Kick! Kick!!!"
"Big Yao made a buzzer-beater, Big Yao made a buzzer-beater for the Kings. On the last shot, Dayao hit the key two points." Commentator Brad also cried out.
"This is the first time I've seen a center-forward kill. It's amazing. It's simply amazing."
"In Dayao's first career, he was very close to a buzzer beater, but in the end he was unfortunately defeated. This has always been a regret for his fans and a regret for us Houstonians. This time, he was
Really a killer!!!"
The Rockets reporter was so excited that he wanted to post the news on Twitter, but he was so excited that he couldn’t even type the words. In desperation, he simply gave up his intention to tweet and talked to the fans in the audience.
Let’s celebrate this hard-won victory together.
In two rental houses in Houston, the two people were excited, but they also regretted not going to watch this wonderful football match today. Especially Yu Song, as a Chinese, he saw the incredible performance of the two Chinese compatriots after they cooperated.
Killing is naturally more exciting than others.
On the other side of the ocean, in China, major media outlets have caused an uproar - Dayao's first kill!
