The 24 seconds of attack time, even if you can't score, must be used up as much as possible, so as not to leave too much time for the Warriors.
Deron directed his teammates to find their position at the top of the arc, while Laga Bell stared at Deron.
At this time, we generally no longer play off-the-ball tactics, and the team will play whatever tactics they are most familiar with.
After all, tactics without the ball are more complicated. Once the movement is unsuccessful, the attack time is consumed, or it is not worth it to rush the opponent to counterattack.
Looking at the number on the timer with 8 seconds left, Deron motioned for Millsap to come up and cover.
It's still a bit difficult to challenge Lagabel one-on-one.
Millsap came up to block Laga Bell, Deron took two steps to the side, and Laga Bell struggled to squeeze past Millsap.
Deron hit the ground and passed the ball to Millsap.
Jordan was still standing two steps inside the free throw line, and there was no one in front of Millsap.
Even if you didn’t make the shot just now, you still have to make the shot when the opportunity arises!
Otherwise, what do you want?
Millsap didn't hesitate, raised his hand and shot.
You won’t come up anyway!
I don’t believe that an open shot will not go in!
I just missed a shot. This time it was in the same position. Millsap will definitely make some adjustments.
Give a good pitcher two chances at the same position. If he doesn't score the first time, he will most likely score the second time.
But what Millsap didn't expect was that Jordan pounced on him!
Didn't you miss it last time?
Aren’t the people who were guarding me the whole game huddled behind?
Why do you say pounce?
Be honest and honest!
If you say you won’t pounce, don’t pounce!
Jordan is much taller than Millsap, and his jumping and wingspan are also very good. When he jumps with all his strength, it is quite scary.
Even if Millsap is two or three steps away from DeAndre Jordan, DeAndre Jordan, who is taking off with all his strength, can still interfere with Millsap's shot!
Even if it's not a solid big shot, at least Millsap's shooting will become rushed.
This is enough!
Due to psychological pressure, the shooting percentage at critical moments is relatively low.
If the shot is hasty, it will be more difficult to make the ball.
Why did Jordan jump up at this time?
Because Deng Fang has warned him countless times!
Because Prince reminded him just now!
You can skip most of the time, but you can’t skip once!
You don’t have to jump at ordinary times, but you must jump at critical moments!
Offense and defense are inherently cat and mouse games, and what is being played is psychological warfare.
Do you think it will jump if I jump forward?
I pounced forward, keeping my center of gravity behind, ready to retract my feet at any time!
Do you think I have to shoot after collecting the ball?
As long as you pounce forward, I will fake the move and drop the ball for a layup at any time!
If the defender never pounces, then the offensive side will not have any psychological pressure when shooting, and the hit rate will be ridiculously high!
But if you keep pouncing, the opponent will be more prepared and can easily break through to the basket and score.
So I have to pounce from time to time.
Even in the first three quarters, when they saw Millsap shooting, Lopez and Jordan occasionally took two steps forward.
Regardless of whether you pounce or not, at least it has to look like that!
It's just that Millsap's psychological quality is very good, so it doesn't have any impact.
But now is the most critical moment. Once Millsap makes this shot, the game is likely to be lost.
The Warriors are one point behind, and the Jazz will be invincible if they score two more points!
So be sure to pounce!
During daily training, Deng Fang has told his players more than once, when not to pounce, when to pounce, when to let go, and when not to let go.
Just now, Millsap picked up the basketball and passed it to Deron. At that time, Prince happened to pass by Jordan. He reminded Jordan in a low voice: You must not let Millsap shoot easily! You have to pounce!
That's the role of a seasoned veteran.
So when Jordan saw Millsap shooting, he took off with all his strength and wanted to give Millsap a big block.
Millsap was unprepared and was taken aback.
Fortunately, Millsap is not tall, flexible enough, and reacts quickly enough. When he saw Jordan flying, he quickly took back the basketball that was about to be released.
After a moment of hesitation, there were only 2 seconds left in the attack time. Millsap stood facing the frame near the free throw line, and his teammates could not see his position, making it difficult to pass the ball.
Even if the news is passed, teammates have no time to take action, it is completely a blame-shifting behavior.
The only thing you can do at this time is to draw a foul!
Who made you jump?
Can't change direction?
Then I'm going to hit you.
But it also takes courage to commit a defensive foul.
It was Little Jordan who flew over!
The feeling of bumping into a big guy weighing more than 200 kilograms is terrifying just thinking about it!
But Millsap had no choice. When Jordan flew in front of him, he bravely made a shooting motion and collided with Jordan.
Jordan weighs more than 240 pounds, and Millsap also weighs more than 220 pounds!
The two people bumped into each other!
Millsap had no choice. In order to act realistically, he had to hit him!
Even if the referee knows that you are committing a foul, it is useless. Millsap really made a shooting action and the two really collided!
Millsap fell to the ground with a cry.
Being knocked to the ground with all your strength by a big man weighing more than 200 pounds is no joke.
Fortunately, because he was well prepared, Millsap was not seriously injured, except for the slight pain from the fall.
There's nothing wrong with DeAndre Jordan.
After all, he was hit from top to bottom.
The referee also blew the whistle immediately.
Millsap lay on the ground for a long time, and after a while he got up with a grin on his face.
After taking two deep breaths, Millsap came to the free throw line.
Two free throws.
Penalty advance will make you invincible.
Touching his right hand, Millsap grinned in pain.
Jordan not only bumped into Millsap, he also slapped Millsap's right hand hard.
Since you can't avoid it, just hit it!
You are calling a foul anyway!
To commit a foul, you must have the awareness to commit a foul.
Since you committed a foul, you can't be allowed to score two plus one.
Since you have committed a foul, you cannot easily score the free throw!
We won’t do anything to hurt people intentionally, but it’s still necessary to hurt you!
After resting for more than a minute, Millsap's right hand still hurt slightly.
But the referee won't give him much rest time.
After two adjustments, Millsap picked up the basketball and started taking the first free throw.
His left leg hurt, as did his right arm and right hand. Millsap's movements were very uncoordinated when shooting free throws.
As expected, the first free throw hit the basket and bounced out.
There was a sigh from Energy Solutions Arena.
Didn't make it in!
All we have to do is hope for the next ball.
Millsap took a few breaths again, gently shook his right arm twice, picked up the basketball, patted it twice, adjusted it, and threw the ball.
Fortunately, after adjustments, the basketball hit the net hollowly this time.
117:119, with 11 seconds left in the game, the Warriors trailed by two points.
The situation is very unfavorable for the Warriors!
