The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1651 I did it
The latest website: "The Celtics led by up to 18 points in regular time, but were tied by the Suns."
"In the first overtime, the Suns made a quasi-lore at the last moment, and then the Celtics made a shot to tie the game. We are about to enter the second overtime."
Before the start of the game, Ernie Johnson of the TNT studio asked several big shots in the studio, "What kind of game do you think tonight's game is for NBA history?"
Kenny Smith opened his mouth to expose Barkley's scars, "I don't think it's as good as Game 6 of the 1993 Finals. At that time, the Portland Trail Blazers led by more than 20 points at halftime, and Chuck even stared at him at halftime. The national audience gave Coach Lu a bottle of 'Victory Coke' and we all know what happened."
"Shut up, Kenny...!" Speaking of this, even though Barkley is full of rings, he is still a little stressed, "Reggie's last lore is not legal! But I agree that this game tonight is not as good as 1993 Game 6 in 1992, let alone Game 7, is a completely different standard. In my opinion, the only finals that can be compared with Game 7 in 1993 are Game 7 of the 1992 Finals and 1976 Game five of the finals."
Barkley said: "The players on both sides have shown their strength. They are already very close to the ultimate standard. If they can bring us more exciting performances in the second overtime, then this game will be very important. Qualifying for one of the best Finals ever."
Best finals ever...
Lu Yi didn't think about it, neither did Lu Wuxia, nor did anyone who participated in this game think about it.
Maybe this is a fan of the authorities, but only after the game is over can the parties know what they have done.
Louis glanced flawlessly, counting the five full minutes of overtime, he has already played 40 minutes tonight. For the outside core, he has only played this amount of time in a finals with overtime so far. The team protected him well.
If Lu Wuxia hadn't been injured, his playing time would have increased by at least five minutes.
Now, the game has entered the most difficult stage. At this point, the arrangements before the game, the calculations during the game, and the changes at the end of the game have all lost their effect.
Both sides will come up with the best lineup to fight to the end.
"We only have one timeout left," Louie said. "If you guys still have the energy, I'll save this timeout until the end, and if any of you want to catch your breath during the game, I'll use it right away! Remember! , the opponent is more tired than us, look at Penny, he can't straighten up, this is our chance, no one in the Suns can replace Penny!"
After that, the referee blows his whistle.
The Suns lineup has undergone some changes.
Garnett still played center, but Horry was replaced. The Suns did not replace Milicic, but let Iguodala serve as the fourth position. At the same time, they called Gary from the bench at the beginning of the season. Peyton.
This is where Louis "admires" D'Antoni. Although there are available substitutes off the court, as long as the game becomes more intense, he only believes in the top seven players in the regular rotation.
Therefore, a veteran like Payton who still has fuel in the tank can only be reduced to a member of the atmosphere group. If it is not for the second overtime, Penny will not be able to take on the role of point guard. Cannot play in the stalemate until the end.
Seeing Payton on the field, Louis only felt that Wuxia's situation would become more difficult.
The old Payton still has a good defense. Although the speed is not fast, but Wuxia is also affected by injuries, unable to change direction vigorously, let alone absolute speed.
Even a coach like D'Antoni who values offense more than life knows that anyone who wants to play offense in overtime is crazy.
Mitsui Shou's stamina bar is in a hurry and the explosion will only happen in the second dimension. The reality is that when everyone has no stamina, the defensive end is more fierce, and the offensive end is all streamlined. Only the most difficult defense and the simplest. attack.
The first 90 seconds of the second overtime might be the most suffocating, hardcore, hard-to-score basketball game in a long time.
Lu Wuxia called for a pick-and-roll and was flanked and passed to Yao Yueban. The tall tower, known for his accuracy from outside, missed a rare opportunity due to poor physical strength.
Then, the sun, who was keen to hit the whirlwind, failed to fight back and began to grind his position.
Garnett made a strong play with the ball and was also flanked.
Since Payton himself is not a good long-range shooter, Lu Wuxia was more decisive when he let him go.
Garnett could only pass the ball, and Payton missed a three-pointer.
Fighting for the floor ball, everyone fell to the ground.
Those who were accurate in the past suddenly became inaccurate, and those who were inaccurate in the first place did not suddenly find their hand.
D'Antoni growled like a dutiful coach.
On the other hand, Louis stood on the sidelines without saying a word, and rarely made emergency arrangements on the spot.
It seems that the basketball gods favor teams with more desire.
D'Antoni kept yelling "diamonds," and then, sure enough, the Suns created a field goal for Richard Hamilton in the second minute of the second overtime with a simple diamond play.
Every CIC king who is good at running is a stamina monster who can't run to death.
Hamilton has played 51 minutes tonight, but his running position and jumper did not show the slightest fatigue.
Catch the ball, shoot it, and it's as if the game has just started.
"Boom!"
Cleverly hitting the board is like a dunker who likes to pull the basket after dunking to drive the mood of the scene, which greatly boosts the morale of the Suns.
124 to 122
The Suns took the lead again.
Lu Wuxia panted heavily, feeling that his right foot was numb, and he couldn't get any feeling from it, as if it was also forcibly enduring it, and had to survive this game.
I saw that Lu Wuxia came to the frontcourt and simply called a pick-and-roll tactic. Payton mistakenly chose to retreat to avoid the pick-and-roll, but accidentally gave Wuxia an open space that was not open—one and a half meters beyond the three-point line. completely in a vacuum.
For him, that's the void.
Moreover, this is still an open space offered by the opponent.
There is no reason to let it go!
When a group of people are at a loss, everyone will pin their hopes on the strongest one.
Lu Wuxia gave up the pick-and-roll tactics, dribbled the ball to an emergency stop, collected the ball, and seized this fleeting opportunity.
"Wish's ultra-long three-pointer...!"
"Shua!"
"This **** kid!" Peyton cursed inwardly.
However, Lu Wuxia looked at him sarcastically.
He didn't talk trash, but he seemed to say that no matter who's thigh you hugged, you can't win the championship unless you can make this kind of shot.
125 to 124
Kevin Garnett dribbles in and kills.
Louie and Bird spent years correcting Garnett's technical flaws when he first came to the Lakers' preseason training camp more than a decade ago, after Bird pointed out his technical flaws.
Now Garnett is different from his previous life. In this life and death situation, he will not rely on his preferred jump shot, but will drive into the penalty area with the ball. , the closer to the basket the closer to the score.
The arena was extremely hot. Garnett's ball-holding basket quickly passed Yao Yueban's body, and he held the ball with one hand. Scored a life-saving goal.
The moment he landed, the referee blew his whistle, and the exhausted Yao Yueban did not stop Garnett even with his sixth foul.
"And One!"
"Kevin Garnett wants that championship more than anyone!"
"Yao Liu fouled out! There will be a defensive vacuum in the Celtics penalty area!"
Yao Yueban took a deep breath.
When he walked off the stage, he couldn't even utter a word.
Louie just put the towel in his hands, "Leave the rest to your teammates."
Then, Pau Gasol was at center, Kirilenko was at power forward, and Mike Dunleavy was at small forward.
Garnett scored an extra penalty.
127 to 125
Louie still didn't say anything to the players on the field.
He just looked at Wuxia to see when he couldn't hold on.
The Celtics have one timeout remaining.
Yao Yue is half full, and there is only one of the two Optimus Primes supporting the Celtics, and this only one has a clear gap. In this tragic game, can he persist to the end?
Lu Wuxia held the ball and faced Payton's frontcourt defense with a blank expression.
Although he is a veteran, he didn't play at all during the regular period, and he didn't come up to replace Penny to play the first position until overtime.
He doesn't need to save energy, because overtime is a competition for who is tougher, and having enough energy is an advantage that cannot be ignored.
It took Lu Wuxia seven seconds to come to the front court, and there were only 69 seconds left in the game.
The tiredness and heavy right foot made him realize he wasn't doing well, but he wasn't going to back down.
Lu Wuxia locked Penny Hardaway, he is the biggest hole in the sun field.
Lu Wuxia called for a pick-and-roll, and Ginobili stepped forward to bring Penny to the top of the arc.
Lu Wuxia used the pick-and-roll to start violently to the right, took a lightning step and then made a sudden stop for a jumper.
The ball flew very high, but Lu Wuxia just asked Ginobili beside him, "Manu, did you hear that?"
"Shua!"
When Ginobili returned to the defense, he asked: "What did you hear?"
"The voice of your heart." Lu Wuxia retreated and said, "That's the voice of God."
Suddenly, Louis said, "It's the last minute!"
Lu Wuxia didn't seem to hear it, and asked Ginobili to switch defenses with himself to face Penny.
Is this because Penny is now only deterrent, not offensive?
No, that's because Penny's position is close to the bottom corner, where Lu Wuxia can observe the sun's attack and then wait for the opportunity to move.
Kirilenko's raids forced the Sun's diamond tactics to be interrupted.
They habitually give the ball to Garnett.
Then, Lu Wuxia's retreating pincers forced Garnett to stop the ball. He saw Penny in the bottom corner. He was in an open position, and that was the only opportunity.
Garnett passed the ball, and Kirilenko's rotation made Penny lose his chance to make a phone call.
But the old Pence is always the most sober person on the Suns field. Kirilenko's rotation is bound to cause the Celtics to give up another matchup. His ball is passed to the top of the arc, which is Payton's position.
Gary Payton was unguarded, and that was the open space the Celtics took the initiative to release.
The old Payton has been in the league for nearly 20 years. He did not expect to become a burden to the team in his later years. The Celtics' defense against him seemed to give D'Antoni a thumbs up for his choice of DNP.
48 seconds before the end, Payton shot a three-pointer full of anger.
Any sharpshooter will tell you that you can make good shots when you are calm.
But there are exceptions, like Reggie Miller is a person who has to play well with anger.
Same goes for Payton.
The Celtics disrespected him and forced him to take the shot with such a contemptuous defense, but the outcome was not what the Bostonians wanted.
Because judging from various details, tonight does not belong to the Celtics!
Payton's three-pointer was like a boulder smashing into a lake, and it blew up the audience.
"!@%@¥%"
The Suns fans at the American Airlines Center screamed the most crazily, just like 31 years ago, Gar Heard (GarHeardPF/SF) caught a backcourt serve in the finals and turned around to hit the buzzer. Like the Celtics going into third overtime, every generation has its own sports night, and there are always those one or two game-changing moments that will be remembered forever, and you will remember your mood, your thoughts at that time , what are you doing, who witnessed that moment with you.
130 to 127
The Suns led by 3 points, with 47 seconds left in the game.
Louie called the final timeout of the night despite the poor timing.
Just as Louis was about to arrange this offensive tactic for Wuxia, Wuxia said, "Manu, this time I'll be your bait instead."
Everyone didn't react at once.
Lu Wuxia explained: "My right foot is a little uncomfortable. If I take the next shot, I'm not absolutely sure. Now their attention is on me, and I can definitely create opportunities for you."
"That's it." Louis quickly arranged the style of play after the timeout ended.
The content is not complicated. Lu Wuxia is used as a bait to attract the defense to pass the ball to Ginobili. If there is a chance to shoot a three-pointer, he will shoot a three-pointer. If he has no chance, he will go to the basket and get two points first.
With 48 seconds left, it was not time for Bo to score 3 points.
Before Wuxia went on stage, Louis wanted to give some advice, but he didn't say anything.
Louie just clenched his fists and thought good luck, good luck.
The Celtics' tactics were exactly as Louis had planned. Lu Wuxia called Penny in the pick-and-roll first, and rushed into the three-point line with the ball. Sure enough, the Suns' defense contracted for a while, and he passed the ball out in the chaotic army.
The moment Ginobili received the ball, Hamilton spun around desperately, but ate his shot fake.
Ginobili, who had lost his best shooting rhythm, held the ball and shot inward. The moment he started for a layup, he felt Garnett's aura from the side. If he made a forced shot, it might score 2+1 or cause a foul , may also be covered.
At this juncture, few people can make the optimal solution, but Ginobili knows that he is not the only one who can score.
He gave up the layup and tucked the ball to Gasol in the air, and the Spaniard got up and dunked.
129 to 130
With 33 seconds left before the end of the game, the Suns also requested a timeout.
Louis guessed that D'Antoni would replace Horry, after all, this man performed miracles in regular time.
Therefore, he has also changed.
Louie replaced Mike Dunleavy for Eduardo Najera, who was only available in garbage time during the Finals.
In terms of defense, Najera is far inferior to Kirilenko, Gasol, and Yao Yueban, but he is good, pure brutalist physical contact, pay attention to confrontation, good defense around the front, and outstanding ball defense ability , After Kirilenko's defense against Horry failed tonight, he can only change his style of defender.
Before going on stage, Wuxia walked past Louis.
Louis grabbed him, trying to say something.
"Coach?" Lu Wuxia looked at her father in confusion.
"It's nothing." Louis didn't say anything extra in the end, and then let him go. "Go, fight hard."
Lu Wuxia walked onto the stage, and the game began immediately.
In the last 33 seconds, the Suns had a full 24 seconds of attack time. As the leader, they wanted to play tactics patiently. However, the Celtics' defensive strength turned this attempt into a luxury.
Penny's offense was frustrated, Richardson was firmly followed by Ginobili, Garnett had no absolute grasp of the offense, and they passed the ball back and forth.
Suddenly, as if on a signal, Garnett, who was holding the ball, suddenly passed out.
Penny called Horry for a pick-and-roll, and only a handful of people instantly saw through the Suns' intentions, and Lu Wuxia was one of them.
Just when Horry got the ball from Penny and was about to complete the ideal final shot from the outside, the ball he held up was suddenly knocked away by a force majeure.
"BLOCKED BYWISH! OH MYGOD!!"
Najera flew out of bounds like a desperado, grabbed the ball and slammed it into Penny's foot to send it out of bounds.
With 8 seconds left in the game, the Celtics have the ball!
The Celtics did not pause, and Louis could not arrange the last attack, that is to say, the last ball will be decided by the players themselves.
"Dad, I'm going to play in the NBA. I'm going to play better than everyone, win a lot of games, and get a nickname that's cooler than Uncle Benj."
Louis looked flawless, and remembered that night 16 years ago in his mind. (780 chapters)
"What do you want people to call you?"
"God. Where is the Son of God?"
The kid who called himself the Son of God ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is right in front of Louie now, won many games, played better than anyone, the last 8 seconds, in this double overtime finals , he is about to decide everything.
"Wish holds the ball on the perimeter and faces Iguodala!"
Everyone has been frivolous when they were young. At that time, everything was clear to them, and any dream could be realized. They were not afraid of dreaming, let alone anything that happened in life.
Lu Wuxia started to have this dream at the age of 6, and as time went by, he used convincing performances to convince people that he could realize all the destiny.
The moment he made a shot, the American Airlines Center made a noise in despair. In less than a second, the lights were red, the ball was scored, the Phoenix people collapsed, the commentator roared hysterically, and his teammates rushed forward.
Lu Wuxia lay on the ground, clenched his fists and shouted, "I did it!!"
