The older superstars of the NBA

Chapter 371 44 Seconds

Dwight Howard's three-point move at a critical moment undoubtedly aroused everyone's surprise.

Everyone knows that even though he was once a super center in the league, he has always performed poorly in free throws and three-point shooting. It can even be said that he has been repeatedly used by opposing teams as one of his weaknesses.

In this case, Howard still dared to make a forceful shot, and he simply carried the victory or defeat of the entire Timberwolves on his shoulders.

Not to mention that the head coach Norman Thomas couldn't bear it, even Zhao Feiyang, the core of the team, couldn't help showing a shocked expression after discovering Howard's move.

"Fuck!"

However, at the next second when everyone was nervous, Howard's three-pointer fell into the basket by accident.

Swish.

When the basketball hit the net, all the fans on the scene made unbelievable voices.

"Dwight this guy actually made a three-pointer?"

"No, it's impossible... This guy hasn't shot a few three-pointers in two seasons in Houston, how can he do it now..."

"Damn it! This guy's fucking lucky!"

Rockets fans sighed.

The Rockets players were also a little dazed.

Including James Harden, who is most familiar with Howard, was a little stupid, and Clint Capela, who could have rushed to interfere with the defense, was even more confused.

Originally, he had already chased Howard not far away. If he rushed forward forcefully, even if he couldn't block the block, there would be some interference.

But he didn't think Howard could score, so at the last moment, in order to save his energy and prevent himself from getting fouled by Howard, he chose not to reach out to interfere.

"Wang Defa?"

"Damn it! How did he make it?"

On the team bench of the Timberwolves, the head coach Norman was not too excited. He just wiped the sweat from his forehead while he was relieved.

Instead, a group of substitute players were ecstatic, they cheered and cheered for Howard on the field.

Zhao Feiyang also did not expect that after showing a short-term excitement, he had no time to celebrate, but immediately threw himself into defense.

105:105.

The two sides tied.

44 seconds left.

Whoever can score is more likely to win the game.

"Defend quickly!"

"Dwight, don't just stand there..."

Zhao Feiyang yelled at the critical moment, which really reminded Howard who was standing there Shale was planning to celebrate with his teammates for throwing a three-pointer.

Other players also reacted quickly, and all Timberwolves players entered the state of full-court marking.

The Rockets quickly issued the ball.

This time Patrick Beverley no longer holds the ball, but directly gives the ball to Harden.It's just that he didn't rush to cross halftime, but stood not far away and pushed forward with Harden, ready to respond at any time.

After the ball passed halftime, Harden was looking for an offensive opportunity at the top of the arc.

At such a critical moment, the Rockets' tactics are also very clear, which is to give Harden the final offensive opportunity.

Harden signaled the others to pull away, while dribbling the ball and standing at the top of the arc to attack.

Zhao Feiyang went up to guard, and the two put on a tit-for-tat posture!

All the fans in the Toyota Center are on their feet, all looking forward to the next moment.

Harden kept dribbling with the ball. When he started to dribble the ball under the crotch, the fans knew that he was going to attack!

Zhao Feiyang also understood his intentions very well. The moment Harden dribbled the basketball, he immediately stuck it up and stretched out his hands to interfere and put pressure on Harden.

The two met each other, and Harden suddenly swayed away with a feint.His dribbling rhythm is very good, even if Zhao Feiyang was prepared, he was shaken by Harden's move.

It's just that this time Harden didn't drive the ball directly into the penalty area, but made a shot in the two-division selection.

The moment he jumped up and was about to throw the basketball, Zhao Feiyang leaped high from the side and rushed towards him.

The bodies of the two were in contact in mid-air. Harden obviously did not expect Zhao Feiyang's defense to be so timely, but at this time the arrow had to be fired, and Harden could only adjust his body's center of gravity as much as possible to throw the ball at the last moment.

Snapped.

Zhao Feiyang failed to block Harden, but his hand still touched Harden's basketball, even if it touched only a little bit, it also interfered with the trajectory of Harden's shot.

The basketball fell down early.

There was an uproar at the scene.

The inside players heard the movement early on, and players from both the Rockets and the Timberwolves rushed forward to seize the ball this time.

boom.

First, Clint touched the basketball, but he couldn't hold the basketball firmly with his hands, so he just slapped the ball and flew it to the backboard.

Howard was next to catch the basketball, and just as he got his hands on it, Clint slapped the ball out from the side.

This slap was somewhat suspected of a foul, but the referee did not whistle.

The basketball flew out of the control range of the two, and it was about to go out of bounds. At the critical moment, Adrian flew forward and saved the ball back to the line.

Snapped.

Adrian made a sharp hook and gave the ball to Andrew Wiggins, who was standing in the right corner.

"go!"

"Quick attack!"

Wiggins yelled when he got the ball, and then he sprinted and accelerated with the ball.

The Rockets' attention was all on Zhao Feiyang, and they didn't pay much attention to Wiggins at all. Therefore, when Wiggins sprinted towards the half court with the ball, only one player caught up to defend.

"Oops!"

Harden was overwhelmed and took the lead to catch up with other Rockets players.

Seeing that Wiggins rushed to the Rockets' basket smoothly, just as he jumped high and was about to end the battle with a layup, a figure suddenly rushed from behind him.

It was Beverly who came.

He seemed to be determined to foul, and he jumped up and yanked Wiggins out of midair.

Wiggins almost lost his balance by this drag, but at the last moment, he was still excited to throw the ball.

boom.

The basketball hit the left corner of the backboard and spun around under the tense eyes of countless fans. It seemed that it was about to fall in the next moment, but it still fell out along the edge of the basket at the last second.

call out.

The referee's whistle followed.

Beverly made a defensive foul and Wiggins was sent to the free throw line.

"Oh! No!"

"Just a little bit..."

The Timberwolves' bench players all shook their heads and sighed.

Rockets fans breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank God! It's a good thing I didn't score..."

"Thanks to Beverly for his selflessness. If it weren't for him, this goal would definitely have been scored..."

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Wiggins stood at the free throw line.

The referee threw the ball into his hands.

bang bang.

bang bang.

Wiggins dribbled a few times in succession, as if he was looking for a touch. After finishing these actions, he held the basketball high and stood on the spot to shoot.

boom.

The first free throw bounced out of the basket.

There was cheers at the scene.

The Timberwolves players are helpless!

"No!"

"It's over! We're running out of time now..."

Wiggins, who failed to make a penalty, also looked frustrated.
