Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 226 What Can You Do in 36 Seconds? (make up for yesterday)

Whether the scene is familiar or not, Wang Hao doesn't know.

At this time, his mind is full of games, and, in his opinion, there is no chance!

Only 8 points, three three-pointers are done.

You know, in the first half of the game, he threw three or three balls in one go, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Because Wang Hao took the initiative to ask for the ball, Gary Payton gave the ball to Wang Hao without even crossing halftime.

Wang Hao's position is just one step away from the three-point line.

Here, it is still within his shooting range, but usually he will not forcefully shoot so far.

The Spurs have also visibly let their guard down.

In the previous games, as long as Wang Hao received the ball from outside the three-point line, he would be pressed immediately.

It's just that Derek Anderson is obviously slack.

That's right, at this point in time, with this score, not only the Sonics are a little discouraged, but the Spurs also feel that they are sure.

You have already won the game for sure, and you still want them to concentrate completely, why do you want to do it?
However, at this moment, Wang Hao shot very simply.

Without any accident, the basketball flew out of a wonderful arc and fell steadily into the basket.

Score: 88:93
Time: 36 seconds

Even at this time, Derek Anderson didn't think there was any problem, and there was not much game time left.

"Steal, steal!"

Wang Hao yelled loudly, wanting his teammates to go up and press with him. If he can steal, it is naturally the best.

It's a pity that it's not just the Spurs players who react a little slower, but also the Supersonic players.

Wang Hao had no choice but to foul.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and at the same time, Wang Hao shouted angrily.

"Cheer up, I haven't lost the game yet!"

It wasn't until this time that the Supersonic players realized that they were only 5 points away.

If he really went up and forced and completed the steal just now, maybe it was really reversed.

Not only them, coach Paul Westphal also belatedly stopped calling a timeout.

At this time, the number of fouls was already enough, and Avery Johnson was sent directly to the free throw line.

The result was terrible. Avery Johnson had a good mental quality, withstood the pressure and made two free throws.

88:95
Another 7-point gap, but because of Wang Hao's angry shout, all the attention was focused on this meeting.

Gary Payton didn't delay, dribbled the ball as fast as he could across half court, and looked for his chance.

Although he had planned to give up just now, he had already reacted in the shortest time.

The chance is not great, but there is still a chance to fight.

At this time, don't worry about too many things, just grab a three-pointer, there is still a chance if you make a shot, and the game ends if you don't make a shot.

Of course, who should throw the ball is still particular.

At this time, Wang Hao suddenly ran out from a running position, and Gary Payton made a pass.

In fact, there is no complete vacancy, because at this time, Duncan has already followed.

At this point in the game, the Spurs naturally knew the key to the game, the three-pointer and Wang Hao.

After receiving the ball, Wang Hao didn't shoot directly, but chose an emergency stop and faked a shot.

Sure enough, Duncan was taken aback.

Wang Hao didn't care too much, the moment Duncan landed, he swung his arms in a big circle.

Wang Hao's arm directly hit Duncan's arm, yes, what he wanted was to make a foul.

"Di!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the referee's whistle sounded.

Today's NBA is more supportive of this kind of foul-making action, after all, it has not yet flooded.

Even the so-called foul-making master Kevin Martin later used it only occasionally.

It's not like later, everyone became the king of porcelain, especially led by James Harden, which forced the league to change the rules.

In this day and age, that's a solid foul.

It's just that Wang Hao wasn't just satisfied with making fouls, he bumped his arm consciously and was prepared for it.

His body balance was guaranteed very well, and after adjusting his posture in the air, he shot steadily.

I have to say that if this series of moves had no bounce, it might not have been possible if it was changed to last season.

"brush!"

Under everyone's disbelieving eyes, Wang Hao's shot fell into the net again.

Don't forget, the referee has already blown his whistle, which is 3+1.

91:95
Duncan looked innocent, in fact, quite innocent, after all, he didn't do it on his own initiative.

Of course, more regrets, I knew I should have fouled just now and made it harder.

It's a pity that everything that happened in the blink of an eye was impossible unless it was well prepared.

Wang Hao lay directly on the ground after landing, which is an interesting self-protection action.

Almost at the same time, four Supersonic players on the field ran over at the same time and pulled Wang Hao back from the ground.

They took it straight away.

First it was 11 points in the first half, and now it's 7 points, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable.

More importantly, they saw hope.

Not just the Sonics players, but the

Another 4-point gap, but at this time, the momentum of the Supersonics has completely changed.

Instead, it was the Spurs, and the uneasiness was gradually spreading.

Under the urging of the referee, Wang Hao walked to the free throw line. Until this time, he didn't think about other things.

It seems that this scene is really familiar.

However, Wang Hao wasn't distracted too much. At this time, he had to focus all his attention on the game.

"Shh!"

An extra penalty was made, and the point difference was only 3 points. Everyone saw hope.

92:95
It's just that there are only 22 seconds left in the time, that is to say, the Sonics can either steal or foul.

The Spurs didn't dare to be careless, and Popovich immediately requested a timeout to arrange the serve for this offensive round.

The first thing they want to ensure is not to make mistakes.

Moreover, it is very advantageous for the Spurs to be able to serve in midfield after a timeout.

They can even choose not to attack and run out of time. Of course, the Sonics will not allow it.

Sure enough, after the timeout, the Spurs served from midfield and directly gave the ball to Avery Johnson in the backcourt.

Gary Payton Union pounces, Avery Johnson flashes and immediately throws the ball out.

Obviously, their purpose is to delay time.

The basketball was passed to Sean Elliott, who failed to pass the ball and tried to dribble and was fouled by Ruben Patterson.

Sean Elliott is sent to the free throw line.

I have to say that the Spurs deserve to be the Spurs, and Popovich has been very successful in their training.

The supersonic speed was chasing after them like a tiger. Under such a huge pressure, they actually carried it.

You know, this is not a person, Avery Johnson and Sean Elliott made two free throws in a row.

92:97
The glimmer of hope that I had seen before seemed to be extinguished again.

Being behind like this, and the score difference is not small, the only way to wait is for the opponent to make a mistake.

But it seems that the Spurs have responded very effectively.

Paul Westphal immediately called a timeout, but his mind has changed.

Originally, he planned to give up the game, but now he insisted.

The reason is also very simple, although the current situation is almost the same as before, the chance is very slim.

It's just that the slim chance just now is different from now.

This opportunity was obtained through the efforts of the players just now, especially the efforts of Wang Hao.

The players are still playing hard, but the head coach wants to surrender?

Didn't this become a reality version, the ministers were about to fight to the death, why did His Majesty surrender first!
"In this attack, give the ball to Wang. What the others need to do is to help him find the best opportunity."

……

Paul Westphal's arrangement is very straightforward, that is, to trust Wang Hao without any extra choices.

Others, however, have nothing to say about such an arrangement.

Not to mention that Wang Hao is the core of the team's offense, so he should be treated like this.

Besides the state, when the overall state of the team is not good today, Wang Hao is the one with the best state.

Taking another [-] steps back, you can still persist until now when you have already decided to lose. Why?
Naturally, it was because of Wang Hao.

So it's only natural to hand over the most important attack to Wang Hao.

At this time, you can only shoot three-pointers. Since it is a three-pointer, it can only be an elevator door tactic.

However, Popovich seems to have seen through everything a long time ago, and has long guarded against the Supersonics playing such a hand.

He arranged the substitutions in advance, and Avery Johnson, who was the best from Wang Hao, made a supplementary defense as soon as possible.

That being the case, if the tactics fail, they can only force it.

Wang Hao motioned to Ruben Patterson on the sideline to pass the ball, and easily controlled the ball over Avery Johnson.

After he tried to break through two steps, he directly chose to pull out.

Popovich has calculated thousands of times, but he missed a little bit, the tactics can't be played, and the stars can still play singles!

At this time, Avery Johnson, who was defending Wang Hao, was unable to interfere effectively due to his height.

Almost instantly, about half of the audience in the deep sea watched the shot with wide eyes.

It seems that the shot is not a basketball, but everyone's heart.

"Shh!"

The ball hit the net, and my hanging heart fell a little.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, there were cheers one after another, and the sound of cheering and cheering resounded through the sky.

But at this time, the fans who had already keyed the arena in advance were all dumbfounded.

Because they heard the cheers in the arena.

"How is this going?"

There is a question in everyone's mind. They know that something must have happened in the arena.

That is to say, those fans who have not left the arena still have the opportunity to return to the arena.

"Goal in, my God!"

The DJ on the scene shouted wildly, even a little incoherent, and didn't know what to say.

However, everyone understands that this is not over yet.

Race time: 9.8 seconds

Score: 95:97
The Spurs want to serve the ball quickly, and then use the pass ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt to consume as much time as possible.

However, at this moment, all the supersonic players jumped up, looking aggressive.

The Spurs did not dare to be careless and called a timeout again.

This is the last timeout for the Spurs, but at this point in the game, it doesn't matter if there is or not.

"Forcing, hear? Give me all I can to force them, don't worry about fouls.

If you can't grab the ball, everything will be in vain, first grab the ball and then talk.

As for the next step...give the ball to Wang! "

……

That's right, the Sonics have decided to put all their eggs in one basket.

The Spurs didn't miss a single free throw, and the Sonics had no timeouts.

This also means that their foul tactics have actually failed, and the opponent does not give a chance at all.

In this case, there is only one way, the desperate way, and that is to steal directly.

This kind of high-intensity confrontation, even strikes, is prone to fouls, but there is no way around it.

Popovich is still very stable, still chose to serve in the midfield, and put Avery Johnson in the backcourt.

The purpose of doing this is to get more space and not let everyone squeeze together.

However, Popovich forgot that the Supersonics have Gary Payton, which is a famous glove!

When Gary Payton tried his best to cast Death Coil, Avery Johnson had nothing to do.

Obviously his body is smaller, logically speaking, he should be faster and more flexible.

But he just didn't run out of space to catch the ball.

No way, Duncan had to pass the ball to the backcourt, which happened to be given to Derek Anderson who was responding near the sideline.

This position is very dangerous, because it is close to the sideline, and the space for maneuvering is greatly reduced.

Wang Hao posted it immediately, and on the other side, PJ Brown, who was originally interfering with Duncan's pass, also reacted immediately and formed a double-team with Wang Hao.

Derek Anderson was shocked and wanted to pass the ball, but he couldn't see his teammates at all, so he could only take the ball out first.

However, with the sideline behind, Wang Hao in front, and PJ Brown on the left, he can only go to the right.

Derek Anderson also went to the doctor in a hurry. He even forgot that this direction is the bottom line. This is to dribble the ball into the corner.

Maybe he was also aware of this problem. After taking a dribble, he wanted to snatch it from Wang Hao.

It was at this time that Wang Hao suddenly exerted his strength.

Derek Anderson, who was already a little unsteady, slipped and fell, and even lost the ball in his hand.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Wang Hao picked up the ball immediately and immediately launched a counterattack.

At this time, Popovich and the Spurs bench had already stood up angrily and asked the referee for a foul.

As for whether it is a foul?Wang Hao really exerted his strength.

To put it bluntly, Wang Hao was also betting that the referee would not blow the whistle easily at such a critical moment.

What is the purpose of the NBA?Isn't it wonderful to dedicate more exciting games to the fans?

Unless it is partial, otherwise, no referee will do something that spoils the scenery at this time.

Time was running out, but enough to make an attack.

Wang Hao ran all the way with the ball, and at this time, the Spurs were completely panicked.

Especially Derek Anderson just got up from the ground, and no one guarded Wang Hao at all.

As a last resort, Duncan will only grab it.

But you, he doesn't dare to stand too far forward, because Wang Hao can also score two points and enter overtime.

According to the current momentum and state of the two teams, if overtime is really going to be played, the Supersonics have a high probability of winning.
