The way of the center

Chapter 724 One Minute, One Second
The basketball spinning rapidly in the air has now become the focus of thousands of eyes.Although Lillard has not played in the NBA for a long time, he is definitely courageous enough.

At critical moments, Lillard has never been timid or soft.He is a young man who dares to take responsibility, but daring to take shots does not mean that Lillard can successfully hit every key ball.

The heroic moment failed to unfold as expected, and a crisp sound almost broke the hearts of Trail Blazers fans.Lillard missed the three-pointer he shot!

"No, the goal was not scored. It's over, the Spurs have finally completed their revenge this time! Wait." Kenny Smith's tone suddenly changed.

On the basketball court, after the three-pointer Lillard shot hit the frame.A huge guy rushed over suddenly, took off suddenly, and grabbed the basketball that was rejected by the basket.

"It's An Jie! An ran all the way and caught this offensive rebound!"

"I can't let you score, I can't let you score!" Splitter grabbed Anjie's jersey when Anjie took off.If Anjie catches an offensive rebound, the Spurs are in danger!
However, Anjie was not stopped by Splitter's pull. This guy not only grabbed the offensive rebound, but also planned to complete the dunk directly in the air!

"Bang!" A forceful dunk made the reinforced rim tremble uncontrollably.An Jie, who was held by Split, leaned back and fell heavily to the ground again!
Catherine in the luxurious box felt a throbbing pain in her heart, but the next second, An Jie got up abruptly and rushed in front of Split.

"You fucking threw me twice today, bastard!" At this point in the game, An Jie was also very excited.Two powder kegs have been set on fire, and the conflict is imminent!
"Hey! The game is about to end, you all calm down!" Duncan suddenly intervened between the two, and "Stone Buddha" snuffed out the spark.

An Jie gave Duncan a face, and then gradually left the Brazilian center.But An Jie's eyes were still staring at Split.

An Jie's dunk has been successful, and the referee called the foul when Split pulled An Jie just now.

This means that Anjie got a chance to hit a three-pointer for the second time in a row!Popovich rushed to the referee angrily to reason. He couldn't believe that the Spurs, who were in a good situation, would be in crisis because of the referee's two consecutive penalties.

"You're a fucking idiot! I've coached the team for so many years, and I've never seen a fool who brags about the game like you!" Popovich said without hesitation, if it wasn't for the players on the bench to quickly put their own The coach pulled away, maybe the old coach has been sent off.

The game is already on the verge of getting out of control, and Ricard's coke is broken now.Obviously, the mentality of the Spurs has been affected!And this chaotic scene is beneficial and harmless to the Trail Blazers.

An Jie stood on the free throw line again, and the fans once again created a quiet free throw environment for An Jie.

Although he just got angry just now, after An Jie stood at the free throw line, he quickly adjusted his emotions.

He shot the ball steadily, the basketball circled twice on the rim, and finally fell down.

An Jie scored 6 points in a row at the last moment, but at this moment, the Spurs, who were already sure of winning, only had a 2-point lead.

Popovich immediately used up his last timeout, and those Spurs substitutes who were waiting to rush to the court to celebrate the victory also returned disappointed one by one.

"Keep pushing for their turnovers! There's 28 seconds left in the game, we have time to do it all! Let's break the Spurs, break them! Those guys are out of their game, and the odds are tipped in our favor! Seize the opportunity! Let's end this damn Christmas game!" Compared with the Spurs, the Trail Blazers, who were still behind, had higher morale.

An Jie drank a glass of Gatorade and stood up vigorously. "The last 28 seconds, guys. When the number on that goddamn timer hits zero, we'll be the winners!"

"Come on! Let's break this damn disadvantage!" An Jie roared, and the entire Trail Blazers became excited.

They followed An Jie's footsteps into the court, and in the last 28 seconds, life and death were decided!
This time, Parker no longer dared to pass the ball.He would rather dribble for 24 seconds by himself than let the Trail Blazers get another chance.

If Parker doesn't pass the ball, the Trail Blazers will naturally take the initiative to grab it.But Tony Parker's skillful ball-handling skills allowed him to execute his plan to the end.

The Spurs once again successfully dragged on for 24 seconds, and the Trail Blazers calmed down and did not foul.In the last 3 seconds, Parker made an emergency stop jumper after breaking through.The basketball missed, and Anjie protected the defensive rebound.When Anjie hugged the rebound, Ricard asked for a timeout.

At this time, there are still 3.5 seconds before the end of the game.These 3.5 seconds will be the Blazers' last chance!

Two points behind, which means that the Trail Blazers need to hit a three-pointer in order to pocket the victory.This time, Ricard had to choose a point other than Anjie to end the game.He glanced at the bench, Lillard, Matthews, Courtney Lee, and Batum are all options.

But in the end, Ricard made a decision that surprised everyone. "Keep the original lineup, Damien, you throw the last ball!"

Ricard did not increase the number of shooters on the field, he hoped to confuse Popovich.

After that, Ricard began to pick up the tactical board and get busy.In order to ensure that the last attack is foolproof, Ricard has prepared several plans for the players!
Lillard and Anjie have become the most critical figures. Anjie needs to create space for Lillard, and Lillard needs to convert opportunities into points.

"I will be responsible for attracting the defense, you must seize the opportunity!" An Jie stretched out his fist and lightly touched Lillard.I hope this defender who personally picks himself into the team can accomplish all of this.
"No additional shooters? Are they planning to let Ann equalize the score and then play overtime?" Players from both sides re-entered the field, seeing Courtney Lee, Batum and Meyers Leonard still sitting on the bench, Popovich couldn't help being a little puzzled.

If the Trail Blazers want to increase their chances of winning, they will definitely cram in as many pitchers as possible.But instead of doing that, they kept a normal starting lineup.

Ricard's plan succeeded. At least now, the Spurs will be more afraid of Anjie than Lillard who just missed a key ball.

The referee blows his whistle and passes the basketball to Aldridge on the sideline.An Jie immediately ran towards the penalty area and pointed to the sky.

"Do you want an alley-oop!?" Duncan and Leonard immediately became nervous, and Anjie scored more than once by passing the alley-oop directly from the throw-in.If they succeed again this time, after the exhausted Spurs enter overtime, the odds of winning are slim!
Duncan and Leonard immediately surrounded Anjie. It is impossible for Anjie to succeed in such a difficult goal every time!
At the same time, Aldridge sent the ball from the sideline.Duncan and Leonard became nervous. They stared at An Jie, for fear that this guy would jump up suddenly.

However, the basketball did not fly directly over Anjie's head, but was passed to Lillard.

"Did the tactical execution fail?" Popovich looked at the field intently. Now Lillard has no chance to shoot. It must be because of the entanglement between Duncan and Leonard that Aldridge gave up his plan for the alley-oop. .

The Spurs will win this game!
An Jie, who was cutting towards the basket, suddenly stopped. At the same time, Lillard inserted the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

Angie standing still and Duncan and Leonard around him provide excellent cover for Lillard.

After Lillard got rid of Parker through this pick-and-roll, he ran diagonally out of the three-point line.

At this moment, there is not much time left in the game.With his back to the basket, Lillard turned around and shot without any chance to aim.

"Damien just missed a key shot, this time, can he create a miracle!" Mike Brin stood up suddenly, his heart was beating up and down like a basketball.

"Beep!" The red light on the backboard came on.

"Bang!" The basketball Lillard threw hit the left side of the basket and bounced high.On the Spurs bench, someone has already begun to celebrate the victory.However, when the basketball fell again, it was unbiased and fell right into the net!
"Win! Win! Great zero center, great zero guard! Trail Blazers won! A buzzer lore! Ann and Damien's exquisite cooperation ended it all! Let's congratulate Bo The Tran Trail Blazers, they are undoubtedly the biggest winners in this year's Christmas game!" The excited Mike Breen shouted along with the dancing fans.

Before Lillard had time to celebrate, he was suddenly hugged by An Jie who ran towards him. "I knew you could do it, I knew you could fucking do it!" An Jie's ears were filled with cheers, so he couldn't hear what he was yelling at all.The more this happens, the louder the roar will be.

What can you do in 1 minute?What can you do in a second?Anjie scored 1 points in the last minute, leading the Trail Blazers to blow the horn of counterattack; Lillard shot a three-pointer at the buzzer in the last second to help the Trail Blazers beat the Spurs.The two NBA stars used their actions to explain the key role of key players at critical moments!
Before one point, the Spurs substitute players who were about to rush into the court to celebrate the victory were all crying.The Spurs, who were leading by 2 points a second ago, missed the chance to complete their revenge on Christmas.

Like all the fans in the stands, Catherine jumped up and down with excitement.On the court, Lillard and Anjie were still hugged tightly by their teammates, speaking incoherently.

Outside the Moda Center, snowflakes floated quietly again.But the whole of Portland, like summer, is surrounded by frenzy.

Angie and Lillard are like Santa Claus, sending the best gifts to Trail Blazers fans.Christmas Eve in the City of Roses is always wonderful.
