The Way of the Center

Chapter 744 : Lore? Fight against lore!

When Anjie once again assisted Iguodala to complete a layup, the fans of Moda Center jumped up from their seats again with excitement.

“The Blazers once again surpassed the score! Anjie’s pass was very accurate, and Iguodala was able to receive the basketball without even reaching out! This is the 18th time the two sides have alternated their lead today. Let’s see, the Warriors Can the team continue to respond!”

On the field, the game situation has not changed in the slightest. The Blazers and Warriors each showed their magical powers, and the anxiety of the game greatly stimulated the hearts of the fans.

Until just now, after Iguodala’s layup, there was only 2 minutes and 10 seconds left in the game.

The game has entered the final stage, Ricard and Steve Kerr have taken the starting five early to start the decisive moment. However, neither of the two teams that are struggling on the court can gain a substantial advantage.

Now for the Warriors offense, Curry just passed halftime, and Lillard did not slack off to post up.

Today, Curry’s repeated successes from beyond the three-point line made Lillard completely defensive.

Originally, Lillard’s height was not dominant, and Curry’s super fast shots made it difficult for Lillard to interfere or complete the shot.

Ricard didn’t dare to use double-teaming rashly, because the threats of the rest of the Warriors from beyond the three-point line were equally huge. He would rather let Curry score alone than let the Warriors play more offense.

If everyone on the Warriors throws, no matter how good the Blazers defense is, it won’t help.

It is precisely because of this that now Lillard has to face the impact of Curry alone. Curry wanted to pass the ball after halftime, and then executed an off-the-ball run to launch the offense.

Thinking of this, Curry raised his head and glanced. The Blazers players are in a very good position. It can be said that Curry’s safe passing route is almost blocked.

“Do you want to come by yourself!?” Curry saw that he couldn’t organize an effective offense in a short time, so he was ready to use his personal ability to complete this task.

This time, Curry didn’t ask for a pick-and-roll, but suddenly pulled back from his hips, frightening Lillard.

Although Curry is still two steps away from the three-point line after pulling back, this range has actually entered Curry’s range.

I saw this confident No. 30 guard lift the basketball and tiptoe. It seems that he intends to shoot directly!

“Too underestimated!” Lillard gritted his teeth, although he was pulled away by one of Curry’s sudden retreat. But this does not mean that he can tolerate Curry’s inattention.

Lillard’s legs were tight, and he jumped up with all his strength. Not to mention Curry at such a height, even if Bogut is standing under the basket and preparing to shoot, it may be blocked. Lillard still doesn’t believe that Curry’s shooting will never be disturbed.

Just when Lillard had reached the highest point, Curry’s feet still did not leave the ground for a long time.

Lillard’s heart suddenly brightened, is it possible…

“Nice Buddha worship fake action, Stephen Curry shook Lillard up. Curry passed Lillard easily after the jump, a mid-range jump shot. Beautiful! Basketball nets again, this kind of goal is against Curry Likai said that there is no difficulty! The leading team has once again become the Warriors, and the two sides have alternated the lead again!” Mike Brin couldn’t help but wipe the big beads of sweat on his face. The intensity makes those who “stand by” feel nervous. The group of guys on the court must be under pressure that ordinary people can’t bear.

“Damn it!” Lillard waved his arm in disappointment. He originally wanted to color Curry’s offense, but he didn’t know that he was once again educated by this kid wearing a No. 30 shirt. .

“Don’t worry Damien, the more this is the time, the more we have to be calm! There is still the last minute of the game, hold on!” Anjie picked up the basketball on the ground and touched the back of Lillard’s head.

Lillard lowered his head, like a child who did the wrong thing. However, the next second, he tensed the muscles of his whole body, and his eyes seemed to be flaring.

That’s right, the game is not over yet, he can’t just lose to Curry!

Aldridge sent the bottom line ball, and Lillard stepped firmly, advancing toward the Warriors’ hinterland again.

The tug-of-war is to fight to the last minute to have a result.

In the next minute, Aldridge’s consecutive scoring and Klay Thompson’s sudden fever made the scores of both sides continue to rise alternately.

In the last 23 seconds of the game, Anjie faced Green and Bogut’s double-team, and passed the ball out of the gap. Aldridge, who got an open shot, was not nervous. He steadily took off and shot with desperate eyes. Green watched the orange sphere fall into the net.

“Boom!” In the next second, Drummond Green even felt the floor trembling under his feet. Aldridge’s key shot gave the Trail Blazers a key lead!

One point behind the Trail Blazers in the last 23 seconds of the game is a fatal thing for any team!

“We are the trailblazers, we are invincible! We are trailblazers, we are invincible!…” The fans in the stands immediately shouted and continued to pressure the Warriors who were one point behind.

Steve Kerr quickly called a timeout, the last 23 seconds, he must bite the last 23 seconds!

It lasted for 48 minutes, and if the final defeat was within 23 seconds, the Warriors would have lost the ball too much.

Seeing Steve Cole started to pick up the tactical board to write and draw, Ricard did not waste time. He has developed three sets of defensive tactics for the Trail Blazers, which can almost cope with most situations that are about to emerge.

Under the mobilization of the on-site DJ, the atmosphere on the scene has been pushed to a climax, and the pause time has passed very quickly.

The ESPN photographer pointed the camera at Stephen Curry, who was clenching his braces. The Warriors’ final goal is very likely to be executed by this kid!

Sure enough, after a series of ball-free runs and ball-free pick-and-rolls, in the end, the Warriors’ sideline ball was successfully sent to Curry’s hands.

After receiving the ball, Curry did not rush to attack, but dribbled the ball on the spot between the center line and the three-point line. Curry believed that at the last moment, the number 0 in front of him would be even more impatient!

Five seconds! When the game was about to end in five seconds, Lillard couldn’t help it.

Now he is more nervous than Curry, he took the initiative to post, hoping to block Curry far from the three-point line.

Seeing this situation, the corner of Curry’s mouth turned slightly. He suddenly changed hands and changed directions quickly, and his calves suddenly strained. In an instant, Curry passed Lillard’s side!

Seeing this scene, Ricard felt that his heart was about to jump out, Lillard hurried back to chase, Curry did not accelerate with all his strength, as if deliberately waiting for Lillard to catch up.

Lillard finally walked around inside the library, but Curry changed hands again. At the same time, Bogut’s pick-and-roll came up just right. Lillard followed Curry’s change of direction, but violently collided with Bogut.

An Jie pounced on Curry, and Curry calmly jumped and shot.

The basketball flew past Anjie’s fingertips, and all the cameras and the heads of the fans were twisting with the trajectory of the basketball.

On the backboard, the time on the timer was almost zero. This basketball fell into the net before the red light came on!

“Yeah!” Steve Kerr waved his fist vigorously, while Curry raised his arms and announced that he had successfully conquered Moda Center once again.

110 to 109, Curry made a successful last shot, and the time left for the Trail Blazers was only 0.8 seconds!

“Great lore! This may be the situation that coach Ricard is most reluctant to see. Although the game is not over yet, the time left for the Trail Blazers is really too little!”

Ricard immediately used the last timeout. Fortunately, this timeout stayed until the end, otherwise the Blazers would have lost the game now!

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers can directly attack from the Warriors’ half-court sideline. If there is no timeout, the Blazers must attack from the bottom line. Don’t talk about dribbling the ball over the half-court in 0.8 seconds, even shooting the ball must hurry up. So this timeout left by Ricard can be said to be the last straw for the Trail Blazers.

Lillard gasped, and he was very sorry for the mistake he had just made on the defensive end. Aldridge kept wiping sweat with a towel. This highly mobile lineup of the Warriors made Aldridge run hard enough.

Ricard looked at the remaining time and then at the players in front of him. In 0.8 seconds, there are too few deployments that can be done. Once you receive a basketball, no matter what the chance, you must shoot immediately!

“LaMarcus!” Ricard took the lead in calling Aldridge’s name. Aldridge was taken aback. It’s hard for him to become the decision maker today! ?

“You serve the sideline ball, remember, use your height advantage to pass the ball as accurately as possible!”

“Damien! You run actively, don’t you want to make up for it? Now the opportunity is here! Give me an active run, let the Warriors think you are the performer of the last shot, and attract their defensive attention. Ann Dre, you give Damien an off-the-ball screen. In short, you have to make the Warriors think that the two of you are the last key!” Ricard wrote and drew on the tactical board. Now, it’s time to arrange the last link, the end Clicked!

“Ann, you are beyond the three-point line…”

Wu Hua saw that the Trail Blazers gathered together and discussed in full swing, and his mood was too late to calm down. He didn’t know what tactics Ricard would use to complete the lore later, and he didn’t know if An Jie could turn the tide again. But it is precisely because of this kind of unknown that the basketball game is so exciting.

While Wu Hua was still imagining, the electronic buzzer that represented the end of the timeout rang.

All the fans stood up to cheer for their team, and the red ocean of Moda Center seemed to boil.

The Trail Blazers stand in formation, and the Warriors are close to their opponents, not giving them any space to move. To Steve Kerr’s surprise, Anjie actually stood outside the three-point line.

The referee blew his whistle, and Cole ignored his thoughts and began to pay attention to the stadium.

Lillard began to make a big siege, and Iguodala made a ball-free pick and roll for Lillard It seems that in the last 0.8 seconds, Ricard intended to let Lillard come out to catch the ball and shoot.

Just when Bogut’s attention was on Lillard, An Jie, who was standing outside the three-point line beside him, suddenly activated!

“What!?” Bogut reacted immediately, but he was too slow to get close to the direct distance between himself and An Jie.

Just after Anjie ran into the three-point line, Aldridge suddenly passed the ball! The basketball was not passed to Lillard, who was actively running, but a high ball, so high that only An Jie could catch it when he jumped up!

“Air-relay!? It’s impossible to complete an empty dunk at this distance?” Cole grew his mouth, unless Ricard expects that An Jie can jump and dunk from a step beyond the free throw line, otherwise the ball can’t be completed at all.

An Jie leaped high and adjusted his center of gravity. As he got closer and closer in the basketball, his eyes gradually shifted to the basket.

A second later, the basketball touched An Jie’s skin, and the number on the timer on the backboard began to beat.

This time, even if An Jie can dunk, he glide in the air for more than 0.8 seconds!

However, after receiving the ball in the air, Anjie did not intend to dunk, but pushed the basketball with one hand. This looks like an aerial relay one-handed shot!

The basketball was changed by An Jie and flew towards the hoop. The entire Moda Center was quiet, and some fans even closed their eyes, not daring to see what happened next.

The red light on the backboard has been lit, but the basketball has not yet made it to the net. An Jie didn’t stare at the basketball like everyone else. After landing, the guy turned around.

It’s not that he dared to watch the result, but turned his back to the basket, and raised his arms in advance before he knew whether the basketball could go in…
