Chapter 372 Team Cohesion

call out.

Just after Andrew Wiggins' first free throw, Timberwolves coach Norman Thomas called a timeout.

Players from both teams return to their respective benches.

"Guys, hurry over here... We are running out of time! There are still 19 seconds left, if we let them attack, we will probably lose the game..."

Coach Norman called the players together.

He picked up the tactical board and arranged the last-minute tactics.

"Andrew, you don't have to make the second free throw... Dwight, after Andrew throws the basketball, you and Adrian must pay attention to controlling the rebound when you are under the basket... ..”

"As long as we get the rebound, we'll hand the ball over to Zhao..."

"If the rebound is taken by the opponent, then we quickly foul play, send their man to the free throw line, then go for the rebound and start another offense..."

Soon, the timeout ended and players from both sides returned to the field.

The Rockets obviously had a new tactical arrangement, so James Harden and his group were discussing something as they walked.

Wiggins once again stood at the free throw line.

With the fans watching, the referee threw the ball into Wiggins' hands.

boom.

boom.

Wiggins habitually dribbled twice, then threw the ball under the watchful eyes of the audience.

Snapped.

The basketball he threw bounced off the rim.

This move did not surprise the Rockets. When Wiggins threw the basketball, the Rockets were ready.

Clint pushed past Howard and rushed for the rebound.

However, Howard refused to give in at all. Under the physical collision of the two, they failed to get the basketball.

The basketball also bounced back into Wiggins' hands again. He had planned to transfer the ball away when he got the ball, but he glanced behind him. Zhao Feiyang was beaten to death by James Harden and Patrick Beverly. Bag clamped.

In this situation, Wiggins decisively made a new choice.

He pulls back a little distance, then stands directly near the free throw line and jumps up for a mid-range shot.

Wiggins threw the ball smoothly.

The fans in the audience exclaimed again, whether on or off the court, everyone's attention was focused on this shot.

boom.

The moment the ball hit the rim, many Rockets fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The players under the basket didn't think too much. Howard and Clint continued to huddle together to fight for rebounds, and Adrian on the side also pushed back the defensive players behind him.

When the basketball fell out, the three inside players jumped up at the same time.

boom.

At the critical moment, Howard took off the rebound very strongly.

After grabbing the basketball with both hands, Howard also tried to dunk a shot under the basket, but before he jumped up, two big men from the Rockets came up to double-team him.

Helpless, Howard had no choice but to transfer the ball to Kevin Martin, who was standing in the bottom corner.

Martin, who got the basketball, did not hesitate. At this time, only his position is the best choice.

Especially when he saw that there were only 6.1 seconds left in the live game, Martin directly chose to shoot from the corner three-point line.

Unfortunately, this shot still didn't make it.

Snapped.

When the basketball bounced in mid-air again, all Timberwolves players couldn't help but sigh.

The basketball bounced out.

The players under the basket entered the contention again.

Howard was a step late this time, being caught in the middle by the opponent was really hard to move, and when he wanted to get up and jump up to grab the rebound, Clint had already jumped under the basket one step ahead of him.

"It's over!"

"That's too late!"

Howard sighed.

However, no one expected that at the moment when the basketball was about to fall into Clint's hands, a figure swooped up from behind him.

In the eyes of countless fans who were shocked, he jumped high and took the basketball off Clint's head, and then took advantage of the opportunity to make a dunk and smash the ball into the basket.

boom.

The ball is in.

Zhao Feiyang, who fell on the rim and dunked, also stunned everyone present.

Even the host and commentator in charge of the broadcast were speechless for a while.

"omg! what happened?"

"Am I dazzled?"

Harden standing outside looked even more incredible.

"Fack! Is this guy a defender?"

"Is he still from Huaxia? Why are his physical fitness and jumping so strong?"

The ball is in.

107:105.

The Timberwolves lead by 2 points.

There are only 2.3 seconds left in the game.

The Rockets didn't have time to be dazed, Harden rushed directly to the wing position to catch the ball, and Clint, who had just been dunked under the basket, immediately stood up to serve.

Snapped.

Harden received the basketball smoothly. Before the Timberwolves players came up to defend him, Harden made two run-ups and rushed out to throw the ball with a super long-range shot.

beep.

The moment the shot was made, the sound of the on-site timer ending sounded.

Moments later, the basketball hit the rim and flew out of bounds, and Harden's final shot didn't save the game.

"No!"

There was a sigh of relief.

The fans of the Rockets are obviously not mentally prepared enough to accept the loss of this game, so even if the timer has stopped, many people are still in the previous state.

Harden, who failed to throw the lore ball, also shook his head helplessly. He didn't even bother to shake hands with the Timberwolves players symbolically, so he turned his head and walked into the player tunnel.

The rest of the Rockets were also down.

The fans gradually came to their senses. Many of them did not add insult to injury and did not boo their home team players. However, they did not express anything, and all chose to leave the arena as soon as possible.

"we won!"

"Good job!"

The Timberwolves players gathered to cheer and celebrate.

After all, this is an away game, so a group of players walked directly towards the locker room.At this moment, whether it was Howard, Adrian, or Zhao Feiyang Martin LaVine, they all showed a very happy look.

Howard even jumped on Zhao Feiyang's back and asked him to carry him away.

"Hey man, you should have carried me back... I saw it... You dude didn't believe my [-]-pointer..."

"And you bastards, you don't even believe my [-]-pointer...and I made it, so you guys should make it up to me by taking me to a club this time... ..."

The teammates laughed, all teasing Howard.

"Come on! Dwight, your 7-point shooting percentage is so low! Believe it or not, I asked my [-]-year-old nephew to do it better than you..."

"Yes, this three-pointer is no less than Michael Jordan's lore...but I don't want to have a next time, Dwight, you scared me to death..."

"Dwight, hurry up and go to Las Vegas to gamble. As far as your three-pointer luck is concerned, I think you are betting. The game will definitely kill the Quartet..."
