I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 59 Miss two free throws?Thrilling! (Seek to follow up)

Back from the timeout, Billups served from the sideline of the front court, and Big Ben responded in front of Billups.

Before the ball was delivered, Hamilton ran from the weak side corner to the strong side corner, and Billups looked at Hamilton to make a pass.

At this moment, Huo Song, who was standing under the basket, came out of the penalty area and ran to the weak side at a 45-degree angle. Prince, who was at the top of the arc, made an air cut to the basket.

The Pistons players ran in a large area on the field, tearing apart the King's defense in an instant.

Faced with the threat of Hamilton catching and shooting, Prince hitting the rim, or Huo Song's weak-side open shot, the king's possession of the ball on the field still pays more attention to the first two points.

Because this happened in an instant, the Kings players on the field can only rely on tacit understanding to defend.

I saw that Hamilton was double-teamed by two people in an instant, and couldn't even catch the ball.

Brad Miller returned to the basket, and Verati Divac, who was crouching under the basket, looked at Prince and occasionally glanced at Huo Song.

No, Billups chose to use a cross pass and hand the ball to Huo Song.

Now that the game is tight and every second counts, it is naturally impossible for Huo Song to bet everything on the touch after receiving the ball and make an inexplicable iron-blooded mid-range shot.

Huo Song followed the plan and rushed to the basket immediately after receiving the ball.

As soon as Divac reacted, Huo Song turned around and broke through to pass him, then slipped to the basket, got up and dunked.

Divac reached out to pull Huo Song down from the air. At this time, he would rather pay for a foul than let Huo Song directly score two points.

However, Brad Miller returned to the defense faster. Taking advantage of Huo Song's turn around, the experienced Brad Miller directly blocked the basket.

Seeing Huo Song take off, Brad Miller didn't try to block the defense, but just reached out and pulled Huo Song's pants.

If he had only been harassed like this, Huo Song could still dunk the ball into the basket, even if his pants had been taken off by half.

However, there were wolves in front and tigers in back, and Divac, who came back to his senses, also stretched out his hand and pushed Huo Song to the basket.

Huo Song's core strength is not that strong, and now he really can't maintain his balance.

Fortunately, there was Brad Miller in front of him, otherwise Huo Song might fall directly to the basket.

Huo Song bumped into Brad Miller and leaned forward with both hands, but Brad Miller was pushed by Huo Song instead.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Song continued to fall forward, pressed on Brad Miller, and rolled to the side without directly supporting the floor with his hands, thereby avoiding secondary injuries.

In just a second or two, the two starters on the field fell to the ground. It seemed that the fall was not light. Players from both teams on the field rushed to the basket to check the injuries of their teammates.

Huo Song knew that he had to pretend to be in pain at this time, otherwise he would be powerless to complain if the home whistle kicked off and a scrimmage was awarded.

Ever since, Huo Song covered his feet deliberately, as if he had been injured by a bump.

Although the on-site referee had already blown his whistle, and it was Divac's personal foul, there was more than one referee on the field. At this time, the referees' opinions were not unified, and they needed to watch the replay and discuss it before making a final decision.

In case there is a referee on the scene who gambles, is stubborn and insists on going his own way, that is also possible.

Of course, the probability of this is very small, and it's not the playoffs, how big can the plate be?

Having said that, Big Ben, Hamilton and others surrounded Huo Song.

Before the penalty is determined, everyone can only care about Huo Song and let Huo Song continue to lie on the ground.

The Pistons and the team's doctor went on the court and asked Huo Song how his injury was. Huo Song could only say that it hurts here, it hurts here, but fortunately his brain doesn't hurt.

It is worth mentioning that something happened on the King's side. The team doctor and the staff of the health department took up the stretcher and quickly carried Brad Miller down.

It didn't take long for the referee's penalty to come down. Brad Miller took the blame and received a defensive foul. Next, Huo Song will execute two free throws.

The game restarted, and Huo Song was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, rubbed his shoulders, rubbed his chest, shook his hands and feet, and walked to the free throw line.

"Duang—"

Huo Song fell down and was indeed affected to some extent.

Just when Huo Song felt the pressure and was about to execute the second free throw, Da Ben and Prince stepped forward to clap Huo Song's hands.

"Don't stress, if you don't make the shot, I'll grab the offensive rebound and give you the ball to shoot.

I believe you can do it, you are the second place.

You're as tough as an All-Star center like me in practice. "

Big Ben's encouragement benefited Huo Song quite a bit, and Prince also said something similar: "Brother, I believe you can do it, don't worry about voting!"

Immediately afterwards, Hamilton and Billups, standing behind Huo Song, also stepped forward to clap with Huo Song.

"Don't be nervous, I should have taken these shots. I'm sorry, I dragged you down today."

"We are better at defense, don't pay too much attention to scoring, don't forget, we still have a lead!"

Everyone said so, and Huo Song took it seriously.

For the second free throw, Huo Song imitated Yao Ming's appearance, took five shots, then raised the ball over his head, and then threw the ball to the basket.

However, this wave of sharpening their guns in front of the battle and stealing lessons from teachers did not have the effect they should have.

"Duang—"

Huo Song hit the iron again, and the shot was short.

"Short?" Short enough!
Huo Song bounced the ball towards him when he saw the ball, and immediately took a step forward to grab the offensive rebound.

Daben was more accurate in predicting the trajectory of the rebound, and found that the ball was bouncing towards Huo Song, but he just took a step forward to trap the people behind him, instead of jumping up and fighting indiscriminately in the air.

Huo Song grabbed the rebound and wanted to squeeze under the basket, get up and dunk.

But seeing that Daben was standing, he got stuck in his position, so he leaned towards Daben and made a small toss shot.

Divac took off to try to block the block, but the take-off was not sufficient and high enough in a short time.

Others had nothing to do to defend the ball. Even if they wanted to foul, they couldn't touch Huo Song. They could only watch the basketball fall into the basket.

87 to 84, the Pistons lead by three points. Although they are not qualified to breathe a sigh of relief, at least they can restore the previous decline.

Next it was the King's turn to attack, and the Pistons were on the defensive again, not to be slack in the slightest.

Doug Christie made an empty cut to the basket, but before the ball was passed to him, he was predicted by Big Ben to take off and steal it.

The ball was immediately passed to Hamilton, but instead of a fast break, Hamilton circled back near the free throw line and handed the ball back to Billups.

It is understandable that the Pistons chose to press time and then look for opportunities to attack. In the last minute or so, the Pistons led by three points and still had the ball. There is really no need to attack rashly.

In the fourth quarter, the offensive efficiency of both teams was below 50%, which means that the Pistons still have at least two ball possessions in the remaining 1 minute.

Assuming the possession of the ball this time, the Pistons have the possession of the ball three times, and it is not too much to score another 2 points, right?
Well, that's 5 points!

The Kings also get the ball 2 to 3 times, as long as the Kings don't score two three-pointers to recover the score, as long as the Pistons don't make mistakes and lose the ball.

So, for the Pistons, this game has basically been won.

Press time, forcing the king to take the initiative to take free throw tactics.

The ball was in Billups' hands, and Billups shot nearly 90 percent from the line.

This style of play and strategy is undoubtedly correct.

Sure enough, the king became anxious when he saw that the piston was pressing the time.

Bibby's oppressive defense tried to steal Billups, but Billups did not panic and was not affected much.

With 10 seconds left in the attack time, Bibby could only increase his actions. The referee couldn't stand it anymore and could only call a foul.

Although Billups did not shoot, the number of fouls by the Kings has been accumulated.

Billups stepped to the free throw line, hit the first ball steadily, but missed the second ball.

Because Huo Song was not vigilant enough, he was a bit late in grabbing the rebound. Daben was unable to support himself, and was stopped by three people. He only touched the ball, but finally missed the rebound.

There was no time, the Kings played fast break directly, and the Pistons hurried back to defense.

I don't think the king is also wild. Divac just received the ball and looked like he was going to hit the basket, but he looked back at the moon and passed the ball to Bibby.

Before the kings, Peja was shooting three-pointers, and Bibby didn't make many three-pointers.

However, don't forget that Bibby shot 41 percent from [-]-point range last season.

In the open situation, Bibby made a three-pointer and scored the ball.

Perhaps for a second, Huo Song's heart stopped beating.

Immediately after seeing the basketball fall into the net, it was plop plop plop plop, beating at high speed.

Originally, the Pistons had a 4-point advantage and were sure of winning, but now they have been chased back to one point. This feeling is really like a roller coaster.
