NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 146 Penalty Shootout
The Warriors replaced the center with a guard, so the Bobcats who were disrupted, in addition to the shortest Walker and the tallest Chen Xiao, faced Curry and David Lee steadily, and Biyombo had the slowest defense and the lowest tactical rookie Bahn Well, anyway, Barnes is just a tactical role in the bottom corner.

Henderson, who has a faster outside pace, continues to follow Thompson. After all, he has been with Thompson for so long and knows Thompson's running habits better. Middleton can only give full play to his defensive initiative to defend Jack.However, with Kutangli around, it shouldn't be Jack's turn to attack with the ball.

Served by David Lee from the sideline.

Although Chen Xiao waved his hands, jumped left and right, creating a huge coverage area, but after Curry retreated, David Lee successfully sent the ball to Curry in the midfield position.

The Warriors sent the ball, and Chen Xiao, who moved one step inside the three-point line, glanced around. The position of the court was clear. At present, the Warriors are also a classic corner position. The shooters Thompson and Barnes sank to the bottom corner. The newly replaced shooter Jack It is also mounted on the right 45-degree three-point line.

Seeing that David Lee took small steps to the right of Walker after serving the ball, it is obvious that the Warriors still play the pick-and-roll cooperation between Curry and David Lee.

Chen Xiao bent over at arm's length in front of David Lee and stared at the next move of the two with a heavy heart.

Sure enough, Curry dribbled the ball with his right hand, took a step outside the three-point line with the help of David Lee's pick-and-roll, and tilted his head to the left to observe the situation.

At this time, Chen Xiao and Walker, who had already grabbed the pick-and-roll and immediately returned to defense in front of him, made Curry not choose to shoot a three-pointer. Instead, he took advantage of the defensive gap between Chen Xiao and Walker at this time. Hit the ground on the left side.

Seeing that the ball left Curry's hands, Chen Xiao, who was in place to help defend, turned around and returned to defend David Lee.

Seeing that David Lee didn't stop the ball after catching the ball and directly made a jump shot, Chen Xiao was overjoyed. The potential success of protecting the frame was beckoning to him, and he was even more vigorous in chasing and kicking the ground.

If he made a jump shot directly, Chen Xiao, who had just delayed Curry, might not be able to defend effectively, but if he chose to attack the basket, Chen Xiao, as an "elite who protects the rim", could be said to be delighted to see him hunting, and he was already sharpening his sword.

Chen Xiao strode sideways, and was already parallel to David Lee who was approaching the collision zone in two or three steps. Seeing that the basketball that was originally protected on the other side of David Lee's body was exposed, Chen Xiao turned a knife in his right hand and caught it on time. With all the vigor, David Lee, who just raised the ball to attack the basket, only felt a huge force between his hands.

In an instant, the hands were empty, but the raised hands and the jumping body posture could not be interrupted immediately. David Lee, who knew that the ball had been lost, quickly shouted: "Foul!"

But at this time, apart from the foul sound he yelled and the slight sound of the basketball touching his body, there was no whistle from the referee.

Chen Xiao, who cut the ball, could clearly see the trajectory of the basketball bouncing out of bounds after it broke away from David Lee's hands and touched his knees. He immediately raised his finger to point to the Warriors' half court, and at the same time raised his leg and slapped his knee to show the referee that David Lee ·The process of Lee going out of bounds indicates that this is the Bobcats' possession of the ball.

David Lee, who lost the ball after jumping and landing, and Chen Xiao, who was cutting the ball beside him, shouted to the referee almost at the same time, "He is out of bounds, our ball."

The baseline referee who was closest to the two and had the best view blew his whistle, raised his left hand and pointed at the Warriors half court.

"Referee, he fouled, it's a foul." David Lee came to the referee, bent down and spread his hands to complain to the referee.

The Warriors players on the scene also rushed over to surround the referee, and they all believed that this was an upcourt ball, this was a foul, and David Lee should be given a free throw opportunity.

"Hey, you are all behind David Lee and me, or on the side, and the referee is right in front. How can you see that this is an upcourt ball? Huh? Your eyes will turn?" Chen Xiao said, Surrounded by people who did not see clearly but saw that the penalty was beneficial to the Bobcats, the Bobcats players who were afraid that the referee would change the sentence also responded and echoed.

Seeing the 10 people gathered around the half court and carrying out the rational "just" to the extreme, the bald Crawford, who was afraid that the bottom line referee would not be able to stand it, rushed over immediately.

Seeing the famous bald head shining under the light coming, under the threat of Crawford, the crowd dispersed, but they still kept the "testimony" in their favor.

Since the ball went out of bounds, it was already the last 37 seconds of the game, an absolutely critical moment.

Following the rules and traditions, in order to convince the chattering players on the field, Crawford stopped the game and brought the baseline referee to the technical stage to play back the video.

When the referee stopped the game to check the replay, Chen Xiao immediately went back to the bench and stopped Dunlap and hurriedly reminded: "Believe me, the ball was out of bounds by David Lee. Now it's a dead ball. We can replace it with Ben. We need him for the next attack."

After a little hesitation, Dunlap, who had turned a corner in his head, strode towards the technical table, indicating that after the dead ball was over, the Bobcats would replace No. 8 Bismack Biyombo with No. 0 Ben Gordon.

After only one replay, Crawford, who was sure, made the final judgment: "After the basketball left the hands of Warriors player David Lee, it finally touched his knee and went out of bounds. The Bobcats have the ball."

Seeing that the ownership of the ball is determined, the Bobcats have the initiative.

The arena was full of noise, and the Bobcats fans cheered deafeningly.

"Now, the initiative is in our hands. As long as we get 2 points in the next attack, we will be invincible." The on-site commentator shouted excitedly, and led the fans to cheer: " Go! Bobcats Go!"

The Bobcats, who had only one timeout left, did not stop the game and set up tactics. Moreover, they had the ball in their hands and had a 2-point advantage. The Bobcats could calmly complete this attack.

Listening to Dunlap repeating "patience, patience", Walker received the backcourt serve. At this time, the Warriors still had an offensive round and did not choose the double-edged defensive strategy of pressing the whole court. Walker calmly pressed the ball halftime.

At halftime, there were just 30 seconds left in the game, and 17 seconds left in the attack clock.

The basketball touched the floor and then returned to the palm of the hand, and the time ticked away second by second.

With 10 seconds left in the attack time, Chen Xiao raised it.

Chen Xiao stepped to the right side of Curry, planted his feet firmly into the floor to stand firm, and performed a standard pick-and-roll.

Seeing that Walker had already started, and feeling the momentum brought by Curry's pick-and-roll, Chen Xiao immediately turned around and rushed to the basket. Walker, who was half a body ahead of Curry, faced David Lee, who was slightly away from him. , pushing the ball far to the basket.

The Bobcats' round was a mirror image of the Warriors' previous round, with one ground and one short.

One step, two steps, striding into the paint area, Chen Xiao, who was always paying attention to the trajectory of the basketball, saw the ball coming to the front and top of the basket in a beautiful arc, secretly praised the second pass, stepped on the ground with both feet, jumped up, and grabbed the ball with both hands. Hold the basketball in mid-air, tighten your waist, abdomen and core, and swing the ball into the basket.

"Boom!" Walker Chen Xiaokong connected.

Coming down from the basket, Chen Xiao, who was full of enthusiasm, wanted to vent his passion with a warm celebration, but when he saw David Lee who was rushing to pick up the ball, Chen Xiao's mind suddenly came to clarity from the boiling, and he lifted The left finger pointed to Walker, and hurried back to the defense while urging his teammates to return to the defense immediately.

"Amazing! Amazing pass, amazing alley-oop. The tacit cooperation between Chen Xiao and Walker will win this ups and downs battle for the Bobcats." The commentary in the live broadcast signal is based on the cooperation of the Bobcats at the critical moment of the home team He repeatedly praised.

After this attack, exactly 24 seconds of attack time was left for the opponent Warriors. The Bobcats, which led by 4 points, almost pocketed the victory.

The 24-second attack time is undoubtedly sufficient, but the Warriors only have one timeout opportunity left. After this defensive failure, they can only serve a quick serve from the backcourt, and the timeout needs to be reserved for possible fatal moments in the future.

David Li, who originally wanted to make a quick pass to steal the chicken, saw that Chen Xiao had turned back quickly, so he gave up the idea of ​​making a quick long pass.

Seeing Jackson waving to move forward, David Lee sent the ball to Curry who was near the center line.

"Beep!" The referee whistled.

Facing Curry's breakthrough, Walker couldn't defend enough to reach out and was whistled for a foul.

The foul count was up and Curry went to the free throw line.

Facing boos from the whole court, Curry, who has made 9% of his free throws so far this season, put the ball steadily into the basket.

Bobcats 117:115 Warriors, 15 seconds from the end.

The Warriors players who can only try to steal, but will foul immediately choose to press the whole court.

The Bobcats are quite courageous and let rookie Middleton serve.

Since the beginning of the season, Middleton, who has become more and more stable, has been unanimously recognized by the Bobcats for his catch-and-shoot and small-scale pass organization ability.

At the same time, Chen Xiao's return response was also guaranteed for the smooth delivery of the ball.

Facing the Warriors' tight defense, Middleton gave the ball after Chen Xiao blocked the space for Henderson without the ball.

Henderson received the ball smoothly, dribbled the ball for two steps, and faced Thompson's aggressive defense without losing his position. Henderson handed the ball to Walker who came to meet him.

The moment Walker received the ball, it took 6 seconds at this time. Seeing that the most reliable dribbler of the Bobcats got the ball, the Warriors had no choice but to play hard and send Walker to the free throw line.

"唰", "唰".For the Bobcats, two goals sounded like fairy music and a reminder to the Warriors.

The game unknowingly turned into a penalty shootout, although the average free throw percentage of five players on the Warriors' side reached 8%.

However, Walker and Henderson, who catch the ball, are relatively stable in free throws this season. With 8% of their shots and a calm mind, they are not afraid of their opponents' active fouls at critical moments.

In 9 seconds, Jackson called the Warriors' final timeout.

"Coach Mark's choice is not a problem. It's time to use the last timeout. If you continue to serve from the backcourt at this time, it will take at least 5 seconds to shoot a three-pointer immediately after halftime. Even if you hit a three-pointer, The remaining 4 seconds are short-lived for the two things that take time to commit a foul and complete the lore." The Fox Channel commentary, which was live broadcasting the game, analyzed.

Serving in the frontcourt, the Warriors arranged a double off-ball cover for the two sharpshooters. Curry was locked in on the side, and Thompson, who used the cover to catch the ball, missed a three-pointer. Chen Xiao protected the last rebound of the game. Before the Warriors players came up to foul, they immediately threw the ball in the direction of Walker, who was already rushing forward, and finally announced the defeat of the Warriors who fought in Charlotte for 48 minutes.

The Bobcats beat the Warriors 119:115.

With the victory and defeat already divided, Chen Xiao shook hands with the Warriors players one by one, accompanied by the cheers of the Bobcats fans.

"This is a game that really played 48 minutes." Chen Xiao, who was sweating profusely, talked with Curry, who scored 30+7+7, with a smile on his face. In the eyes of others, this may be the so-called winner. Smiling, but Chen Xiao was only excited because of this bloody battle.

"Congratulations, everyone. See you in Jinzhou on the 21st." Curry, who tried his best but lost in the end, showed unwillingness in his eyes, and he responded briefly without the willingness to talk and laugh.The 21st of this month is the day when the Charlotte Bobcats travel across the country to Golden State.

"David, you have wonderful footwork, and your shooting is awesome." Facing Brother Li, the only Warrior who scored 22+8 in the half, Chen Xiao also praised him without hesitation.After all, David Lee could also be said to have ravaged the inside this time, but it was not as raging as Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao dropped Aizeli many times to try to defend David Lee, but either David Lee didn't play at the basket where Chen Xiao was, or hey, I stopped playing, Pass the ball with one hand.Chen Xiao, who showed his flaws, also asked David Lee to feed Ai Zeli the only bite of cake in the game, scoring 2 points.

"Thank you, as Stephen said, see you in Jinzhou, we will entertain you well." Li Ge was very polite and gentlemanly, bluntly said that he would entertain Chen Xiao and Bobcat players in Jinzhou.

Curry and David Lee are representatives of the outstanding performance of the Warriors today, and Chen Xiao had a friendly chat with them.

As for the rookie Ai Zeli who was ravaged face to face in this field, Chen Xiao just wanted to comfort his younger brother of the same year, but before he finished speaking, Ai Zeli responded briefly and ran away.

Is this because he is worried that he will sneer again?Chen Xiao rubbed his lush head, a little puzzled, but didn't think too much, now is the moment to enjoy the victory.

After the game, when the whistle sounded, Chen Xiao and Walker, one head to the other, met their eyes after halftime, and the understanding two came to the center line to bump shoulders to celebrate, making up for the celebration moment that should have been due to the alley-oop. .However, Walker, who was knocked to the ground by Chen Xiao's confiscated strength, added a touch of humor to the soul-stirring ending of the scene.

After a mediocre performance in the first two games, Chen Xiao, who had a total of 41 points and 24 rebounds, finally felt proud in this game.

Chen Xiao made 18 of 13 shots and 15 of 9 free throws. Facing the Golden State Warriors, Chen Xiao had a double-double of 35 points and 18 rebounds. His 2 blocks were a bit shabby in comparison, but he was even with most of the shots in this game. Among the warriors outside the penalty area, Chen Xiao thought he was worthy of the title of "elite protecting the frame". After all, protecting the frame is not just about blocking shots.
