Chapter 132 I will never lack self-confidence in my life
The two sides were tied again in the last 46 seconds.
James' pass deceived everyone in the Knicks. The Knicks players did not expect that James would be so bold, giving up the Cavaliers' inside advantage and passing the ball to Mo Williams on the outside.
By the time the Knicks woke up and tried to make up defense, it was already too late.
Knicks serves.
The Cavaliers' three-pointer put a lot of pressure on the Knicks.
Lian Dao controlled the basketball, pressing down on time and the Cavaliers' defensive lineup, while trying to use this little time to restore his physical fitness.
There were still 5 seconds left on the clock. Suddenly, Millsap and David Lee on the Knicks provided a double screen for Lian Dao.
This is a very risky decision, because once Lian Dao misses the shot, the Knicks will basically lose the rebound.
But Millsap and David Lee did not hesitate to double-cover Lian Dao. They believed in Lian Dao.
Lian Dao took advantage of the space covered by the two people and shot a three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line.
James got rid of the screens of Millsap and David Lee and tried to interfere with Lian Dao's shooting, but Lian Dao's shot was too fast.
James was still a step slower.
"Rebound!"
James shouted at this time that he could only hope that the shot missed.
As long as this shot misses and the Cavaliers grab the rebound, the rhythm will return to the Cavaliers' side.
"brush!"
The sound of the basketball passing through the net echoed through the loudspeaker in Madison Square Arena.
Immediately, there was a deafening cheer.
23 seconds!
There is still enough time for the Cavaliers to attack!
117:120.
However, they are three points behind!
Mike Brown called a timeout.
He needs to rearrange his final attack.
"Oh ho ho, Kenny, it's so worthwhile that I choose to commentate on this game. It's so exciting. Both sides treat this game as a playoff game."
“It’s so exciting!”
"Sickle has already scored 60 points. He actually scored 60 points in the sixth game of his career. This is incredible."
"Kenny, he surpassed Chamberlain's scoring record of 58 points in a single game in his rookie season. Oh, I thought no one in this world could break it."
"You know, this is not the barbaric era of basketball in the 1960s. The rules are not perfect. The most important thing is that there is no video left."
"Today, with various rules perfected, it is really difficult for a rookie to score 60 points in a single game. If someone had told me before, a rookie could score 60 points in the sixth game of his rookie season.
With a score of 60 points, I would definitely think that this guy just ran away from a mental hospital, but now, I see it with my own eyes!"
Barkley was a little excited, he really liked this all-powerful rookie.
Although he had long known that Lian Dao would become an All-Star or even a superstar, that would only be a few years later, or at least after his rookie season.
But he didn't expect that this rookie could perform such an incredible performance in his rookie season.
"If Kenny had been born 15 years earlier, he and I would have definitely won the championship. Even Chicago's braised eggs couldn't stop him." At this time, Barkley felt that Lian Dao was born at the wrong time. He should have won the championship earlier.
Born.
In this way, the great Jazz will no longer be criticized for not having a championship, and a guy like Kenny will not be allowed to show off his broken championship ring every day.
"Are you the one holding me back?"
Kenny Smith looked at Barkley with disdain, while turning the championship ring on his left hand with his right hand.
After seeing this, Barkley rolled his eyes and blurted out regardless of whether it was live broadcast: "Shit, Sir Ben will be his best partner, the best, the best, you know?"
"I'm going to be his Olajuwon, you know that, Kenny."
"Huh?" Kenny Smith shrugged and turned another championship ring again, "I only know that Dameng and I won the championship twice."
"Besides, Dameng doesn't have a championship ring like you!"
"Okay, now we turn our attention to the court. We have come back from the timeout, and the coaches of both sides have made tactical arrangements."
Barkley directly changed the topic to the game. There is no way, not having a championship ring will always be a pain in Barkley's heart!
…
At this time, players from both sides return to the field.
The Cavaliers serve.
At this time, the sense of oppression came to the Cavaliers.
James holds the ball, and Lian Dao guards against James' breakthrough.
But I didn't expect that he would make a sudden stop on the outside and shoot a three-pointer.
This shocked Lian Dao.
Is this guy so brave?
Didn’t it mean that this guy dealt with the crotch stretch in key balls?
"brush!"
This three-pointer was truly unexpected by Lian Dao and everyone in the Knicks, including D'Antoni.
D'Antoni's strategy at the time was to be careful of the Cavaliers' quick two-pointers.
The Cavaliers are likely to play quick two-pointers and foul tactics.
It can be said that the Knicks made a bit of a miscalculation this time. Lian Dao also did not expect that James, who made 1 of 6 shots from the field, would dare to take a three-pointer from the outside.
120:120.
The two sides tied again.
There are 10 seconds left in the game.
The Knicks still have one last chance to attack, but time is a bit tight.
D'Antoni called a timeout.
"Sorry, I made a mistake in my prediction." Lian Dao also felt a little uncomfortable.
"No, it's my problem. You are not wrong. Your defense this time was perfect. We have to score the last damn goal and keep the victory at Madison Arena." D'Antoni patted Lian Dao first.
Shoulders, put the responsibility on yourself.
At the same time, he quickly poured out a bowl of chicken soup to encourage all the players.
"Sickle, are you confident?"
Lian Dao nodded firmly.
"Mike, I never lack confidence in my life!"
D'Antoni also nodded with satisfaction at this time. He admired Lian Dao's attitude very much.
To be honest, D'Antoni doesn't care about winning this game, but he cares about Lian Dao's self-confidence. If he doesn't take Lian Dao's shot, he won't score, and he is worried that Lian Dao won't dare to take the shot.
However, looking at it now, D'Antoni's worries are unnecessary.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you to execute the last ball."
D'Antoni also gave Lian Dao the final moment of victory.
Come back from the timeout and the game continues!
At this time, the Cavaliers put on their strongest defensive lineup.
They are bound to drag the game to overtime, because that is more beneficial to the Cavaliers.
At least in overtime, the Knicks had no way to deal with O'Neal in the paint.
Is it possible to use shark-cutting tactics in overtime?
Don't be kidding, the exhausted Knicks' use of shark-cutting tactics in overtime will only accelerate the Knicks' defeat.
It was James who was still defending Lian Dao. This time he was determined to defend Lian Dao's shot.
For the Knicks, David Lee serves.
David Lee was very experienced in giving basketball to Lian Dao.
At this time, if it is a ground pass, it is basically impossible to escape the fate of being intercepted.
Lian Dao also relied on his physical fitness to get the basketball in his hands.
Time passes slowly.
8 seconds…7 seconds…6 seconds…
With 6 seconds left on the clock, Lian Dao launched an attack directly from the backcourt.
He rushed towards the three-point line without any further ado.
He suddenly stopped dribbling with his hips two steps outside the three-point line, and then accelerated to break through from the left.
James followed, but Lian Dao made another emergency stop.
As soon as James stopped, Lian Dao accelerated again.
James' defensive focus is a little messy at this time.
Lian Dao once again made an emergency stop, dribbled the ball with his hips, and then suddenly retreated near the logo.
James still wanted to step forward to defend, but his left foot mixed with his right foot and he sat down on the floor.
There was still 1.5 seconds left after knocking James down.
Raise your hand!
At this time, Varaijo and other team members of the Cavaliers rushed towards Lian Dao.
LianDao is not affected!
Take action!
Yes.
As soon as he took the shot, Lian Dao felt that the ball would definitely go in.
So, he turned around and raised three fingers on his right hand.
Lian Dao immediately celebrated after taking the shot.
At this moment, the entire Madison Arena was silent.
At this time, the photographers on the sidelines kept capturing this classic moment!
The goal is scored, this is a decisive classic!
If the ball fails to score, this is a classic own goal!
All the fans in the audience and the players of both teams focused their attention on basketball.
I saw this three-pointer spanning nearly half of the court, drawing a long parabola.
Then he dove into the basket.
"Buzz!"
When the time is up, the name buzzes!
"brush!"
The winning goal!!
The crisp sound resounded through the loudspeaker again throughout the Madison Square Arena.
The hearts of the Cavaliers players are also like falling into an ice cave!
