Chapter 94 Overtime lore (for subscription)

"It's a pity, Li missed the final lore." Larry felt a little regretful, otherwise he would have left work earlier.

"No, Larry, don't you say that, in that situation, steal James' basketball near the middle field, and adjust in an instant, and then shoot a long three-pointer.

After a high-intensity game, it was not easy to be able to do this at the last moment. The ball almost went into the basket. He deserves our praise. "Jack thinks that Li Tian's performance is perfect enough.

"Yeah, expect the Grizzlies to play well in overtime."

The team members all came up to comfort Li Tian, ​​and they didn't feel any discomfort because he missed the lore, because in their eyes, he had already done well enough.

In a normal game, as long as he is on the field, he basically defends James, and at the last moment he also completed a steal against James. If there is no such steal, James may have staged a lore, and that is another scene.

Mark started the tense arrangement again, this time no longer putting Gasol aside, the Cavaliers' Ilgauskas has not played since the third quarter, and will definitely not play in overtime, against Valle Joe, Gasol has an absolute advantage, and he didn't think of using Gasol until overtime, otherwise the game would have ended long ago.

He also drew a tactic for Li Tian to take an outside three-point shot, just like the scene that happened on the field at the beginning of the game. He followed the advice of the on-site commentary and made this tactic one of his regular tactics.

Overtime begins.

Grizzlies: Gasol, Gay, Li Tian, ​​Conley, Navarro;

Cavaliers: Damon Jones, Gooden, James, Gibson, Ilgauskas;
Unexpectedly, Brown even arranged for Ilgauskas to play again. He had been sitting on the bench for the second half, and his hands were probably like ice cubes just brought back from the Antarctic. Don't dare to approach.

Gasol was also shocked. His athletic ability is stronger than Ilgauskas, but the height gap is not small, and he does not have an advantage when fighting for rebounds.

The only good news is that he must feel cold now.

Ilgauskas has not appeared on the stage for too long, his physical function has declined, and his reaction speed has also decreased.

Midfield jump ball, Gasol relied on his reaction speed and take-off height to grab the ball this time.

Navarro received a pass from Gasol, and Li Tian pulled James beyond the three-point line to open up space for Navarro to attack.

James' hatred for Li Tian kept soaring. As long as Li Tian was on the field throughout the game, he would go directly to defend Li Tian and not give Li Tian any chance to make a move.

Regardless of the defense regardless, it will do a lot of damage to the Cavaliers' defensive system.

Navarro landed on the wing, took a step laterally, and then went straight to the basket. Conley faked and shook Gibson who was defending him, and returned to the three-point line again.

Navarro saw Conley break free and pass the ball back to Conley from beyond the arc.

Stimulated by Li Tian, ​​the outside players of the Grizzlies have increased their three-point shooting practice. The shooting percentage of the outside players has improved a lot, and Conley's open three-point shooting rate is not bad.

After receiving a pass from Navarro, Conley made a three-pointer directly, and the basketball was hit steadily without any splash.

The Grizzlies scored first in overtime.

Looking back, the Cavaliers ran a center tactic to open up the space, allowing Ilgauskas to single Gasol, who was interfered by Gasol.

Li Tian grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break.

Navarro turned around quickly, then went down quickly, received a pass, and even accelerated to kill the basket.

Dunk.

The Grizzlies lead the Cavaliers by 5 points.

Cavalier Jones fouled, and Brown took advantage of the situation to replace Varejao. With one attack and one defense, Ilgauskas' disadvantages were obvious. Brown did not dare to use it anymore, so he had to replace it.

The intensity and aggressiveness of the defense of the two teams are getting bigger and bigger, resulting in a rapid decline in the feel of both sides.

In 2 minutes, only James completed a breakthrough under the basket and scored a dunk.

The score came to 102-105, and the Cavaliers were temporarily behind by 3 points.

2 minutes left.

The Grizzlies attack.

Conley changed the starting position of the offense and came to the top of the wing arc.

Li Tian ambushed in the bottom corner, Navarro was at the top of the arc on the other side, Gay was under the basket on the weak side, and Gasol stood near the free throw line, ready to cover and run the basketball at any time.

Speeding up to break through Jones, James had no choice but to go over from the bottom corner to defend.

But he didn't dare to go up to make up the defense directly. He wanted to make up for Conley, but he didn't want Li Tian to catch the ball easily.

In the end, it could only be that Mao didn't defend, Conley rushed to the basket, broke through and scored a layup.

The Grizzlies scored another two points.

Looking back, James started to hold the ball from the backcourt and advanced through the half court. The Cavaliers all pulled away, leaving only Varejao near the bottom line on the right wing.

Gibson is in ambush in the left corner, Jones is in ambush at the 45-degree three-point line on the left, and Gooden is on the right.

Jones came over to help James pick and roll, blocked Li Tianjie firmly in front of him, did not quickly bypass Jones, and Gay switched to James.

"Hey, the Grizzlies are going to lose points again this time. Gay was singled out by James for the entire game. I just don't know how much shadow area is in his heart now." Larry was also very depressed.

Guy on the field was even more depressed. He could have been proud of his hero ball and hit the final tie ball, but he was fouled brutally by James, and then he missed two free throws, giving the team a great chance of a tie. Sol, at the end let Li Tian successfully win the key steal again.

But I got nothing, and I was criticized. If I hit the first free throw, I don’t need to play overtime. If I say too much, I will cry. Being fouled so fiercely, it is normal to miss free throws, but the fans don’t agree.

Pulled out by James again, Gay also tried his best to regain face in this defense.

Fully defensive and aggressive, it also put some pressure on James.

"Guy finally made an iron blood once, Oh No, he was hung up to move forward, James' strength is too strong." Jack was stunned by James' performance.

Seeing that such a heavy guy was ruthlessly taken away by James, Li Tian could only put down the defensive Jones and go to make up for it.

Quickly moving laterally towards James' breakthrough route, James saw Li Tian, ​​who was defending Jones, coming to defend him.

When he judged that Li Tian had come to a position where he could not return to defend Jones again, he chose to pass the ball to Jones who returned to the three-point line.

Li Tian's defense failed to interfere with Jones' shot, and the latter hit a three-pointer.

The Cavaliers were still 2 points behind, and the score came to 105-107.

"The game is getting more and more intense, and I am looking forward to the performance of the Grizzlies. However, the Grizzlies players lack experience in dealing with such scenes, and there are no superstars in charge. This game is a bit hanging." Larry analyzed it very thoroughly.

Jack disagrees, "No, the Grizzlies are not without opportunities. Outside they have Conley who has an absolute advantage over Gibson, Lee's three-pointer, and Gasol's absolute advantage inside. Gay also feels good today. They still have a chance , as long as the perfect coordination can be played."

It seemed to make sense, but there was always something wrong, and Larry didn't refute Jack, because it was right in theory.

The more critical moments are played, the more it shows the role of James at critical moments.

James changed his defensive strategy and began to lead the defense against Guy. Li Tian was not the Grizzlies' target. He just needed someone to stare at him and not give him a chance to shoot.

All Cavaliers players, under the leadership of James, have increased their defensive strength and started marking from the backcourt.

The sudden defensive change disrupted the Grizzlies' offensive rhythm and almost made a mistake. Fortunately, Conley passed the ball across the half court to Gasol 8 seconds ago.

Seeing the desperate defense, and they who had never experienced big scenes, Conley and the others panicked.

Gasol returned the ball to Gay, allowing Gay to initiate the offense.

Facing James' oppressive defense, Gay dribbled the ball and almost made a mistake. Conley's pick-and-roll failed to block James and was squeezed by James.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the game, Gay decided to break through James.

"Snapped!"

There was a muscular clash.

Guy twitched his face when James hit him, and his brows were furrowed.

The huge impact made Gay's breakthrough come to an end without a problem.

"Snapped!"

Another sound, Li Tian screamed badly.

"Gay made a mistake under the strong defense of James, and the ball was directly taken away by James. Li Tian chased and defended behind James." The field became more and more exciting, Larry said excitedly.

Quickly returning to defense, Gibson launched a fast break under James' yelling, saw Li Tian chasing defense, and tried to pester Li Tian.

After getting rid of Gibson's entanglement, it was found that James had dunked.

With 60 seconds left in the game, Mark called a timeout.

He needs to rearrange his tactics. Facing the oppressive defense of the Cavaliers, he has not yet found a solution, so he can only arrange to do a few more pick-and-rolls.

After the timeout ended, Conley received the pass, but Gibson continued to entangle Conley closely. He was very uncomfortable with this kind of defense and almost made an unnecessary mistake.

Li Tian raised from near the free throw line, screened and rolled Conley, and switched to Gooden's defense.

Conley tried, but still failed to get a breakthrough opportunity.

Call Guy on the right again and continue the pick and roll.

After a pick-and-roll change, James and Gibson had a bit of trouble switching, and Conley tucked the ball to Gay.

Just when Gay was about to make a shot, James returned to defense again.

Seeing James suddenly coming back to defend, Gay's shot rhythm was disrupted.

Knowing that the shot is short, the first time to prepare for the rebound.

The rebound fell right into Gibson's hands, the poor rebound placement, and the others didn't even have a chance to grab the rebound.

Conley and Gay wanted to quickly double-team Gibson for a steal or delay him past halftime.

The moment Gibson got the rebound, James quickly moved two steps laterally and came to Gibson. Gibson handed the ball to James.

James, who got the ball, saw that the fast break was hopeless, so he called a timeout.

"LeBron, the next attack is very important, we must finish this attack, try to compress the time to 10 seconds, and then launch the attack, try to leave only 25 seconds for the Grizzlies to attack.

In this way, everyone else pulls away, you come to the basket, and if someone comes up to help defend, you pass the ball outside.

If you miss the shot, try your best to grab the rebounds, and if you fail to grab the rebounds, you must not give them a chance to make a fast break. "Brown arranged it in an orderly manner. After the baptism of the finals, Brown still made a lot of improvements, and became calm at critical moments, which gave the players a boost.

Mark still arranged not to give James a chance, but to attack.

James took the ball and launched an attack from the top of the arc. Everyone else was on the outside, and only Gooden was in the left half-block position, covering James at any time.

Quickly cut across to the vicinity of Gudeng, Gudeng lifted up to block Li Tian, ​​Guy defended frontally, and signaled Li Tian not to come to help defend.

Li Tian is helpless, it's this time, and he still doesn't let him defend, I don't know what Guy is thinking.

Without any suspense, James successfully broke through Gay again, causing Gay to foul and scoring 2+1.

Seeing Guy's annoyed expression, Li Tianzhen wanted to rush over and beat him up. If he was flanked, even if James passed the ball, Gooden could only score 2 points.

The score came to 109-107, with the Cavaliers leading by 2 points.

The Grizzlies led almost the entire game, and were overtaken by the Cavaliers at every critical moment.

Amidst the boos of the fans in the audience, James missed a crucial free throw.

The Grizzlies learned from the experience just now and did not give the Cavaliers a chance to grab a rebound.

Gasol grabbed the rebound and called a timeout.

Mark failed to arrange the offense several times, so he could only change his tactics. Seeing the players' exhaustion, he decided to try to get three points. If there is no chance from the outside line, he can quickly get two points, and try not to play a second overtime.

"Pau Gasol, you hold the ball. Near the free throw line, all other players run. Whoever shows up, pass the ball to whom. If there are 5 seconds left and no one runs out of space, you can play alone. Lejo scored two points, then defended the Cavaliers offense and called an overtime."

The players were also unwilling to play another overtime, and they all nodded in agreement.

Gasol held the ball near the free throw line, and the others ran wildly. James gave up defending Guy and changed to defending Li Tian. They knew that Li Tian's running ability and three-point ability were the best in the league this year.

With 6 seconds left in the time, Gay finally got rid of Gooden's defense and ran out of space at a 45-degree position on the right. Gasol knew that Gay's hand felt bad after James fouled from the beginning of the fourth quarter. It got worse.

"Gay was open, and Gasol gave the ball to Gay from near the free throw line," Larry yelled.

"Oh my God, Guy shot, why didn't the Cavaliers choose to double-team?" Jack asked Larry beside him.

"Gasol is an all-around power forward. If he double-teams, the Grizzlies will be open. Gasol can pass the ball out of double-teams, and the Cavaliers will be in danger." Larry analyzed.

The moment Gay shot, Gasol felt that Gay's shot was short this time.

"Hey, it's still short. Gay felt nothing after James fouled. Gasol squeezed Varejao under the basket with all his strength and grabbed a key offensive rebound again." Jack shouted loudly.

James also gave up chasing and defending Li Tian at the moment Gay shot, and rushed to the basket, ready to grab the rebound.

Gasol grabbed the rebound without stopping, and threw it directly to Li Tian who was outside the three-point line.

After receiving the pass from Gasol, he shot immediately without making any adjustments. There was only 1 second left, and he had to make the shot immediately.

Three-point shot.

The Commonwealth Arena was surprisingly quiet.

Everyone is quietly waiting for the three points that decide the fate of the game.

The moment he took the shot, he felt that the ball must be scored.

The celebration started early.

"Oh, Li, he actually started the celebration early, it's crazy." Larry shouted excitedly.

Watching Li Tian celebrate in advance, James was a little desperate. He played 47 minutes and scored a game-high 50 points, but he couldn't bring the team a victory.

"Shh!"

"The ball is approaching, Li has completed the lore, let us cheer for him." Jack stood up instantly and shouted loudly.
