Chapter 224 Life and Death in 17 Seconds [Part 2]

"60 seconds, five points, no possession of the ball yet. If rookies want to complete the reversal, they must do a good job in the next defense. Only by doing a good job in the next defense can they be qualified to say a reversal. Shameful, but I think rookies don't want to let their all-night efforts go to waste at the last minute."

What Hoffman said is not bad at all. If it is said that before the game, the rookies would not feel much about losing. After all, the strength of the two sides is here, but they are absolutely unwilling to let them accept losing now.

Everyone had serious expressions on their faces, and Lin Sen also stared at Paul, who was driving the ball forward, with a serious expression.

As Paul advanced, Lin Sen retreated a little bit, and finally stood on the three-point line.

There is almost a body distance between Paul and Paul. Although Paul scored a three-pointer tonight, Lin Sen still prefers to believe that Paul chooses to break through and pass the ball. Even if Paul makes a three-pointer, Lin Sen believes that his reaction can still make up for a body position distance.

"Wood, save your energy, I'll treat you tonight!" Paul firmly controlled the ball and was not in a hurry.

"When I win, I'll treat you!" Lin Sen said, staring at the ball in Paul's hands.

For the second graders, wasting time means getting closer and closer to victory. Paul smiled: "I knew you would say that."

When the attack time of the second grade entered ten seconds, Lin Sen's attention was fully concentrated.

Paul's dribbling rhythm was completely accelerated, and Lin Sen, who was very familiar with Paul, naturally knew that Paul's next move was coming.

Lin Sen stood up against the rushing Paul with his chest upright, with his arms raised high and his feet moving quickly.

Paul, who leaned on Lin Sen and forcibly cut inside, made a sudden stop, and Lin Sen's pace slowed down a little.

Grasping the gap where Lin Sen's reaction was a little slow, Paul made a sudden stop and shot the ball like riding a horse and shooting an arrow.

Lin Sen took off as hard as he could, and tried his best to touch the ball in the air with his raised right hand.

呲!

The nail of the middle finger touched the bottom of the ball, and Lin Sen couldn't help being elated when the nail touched the bottom of the basketball.

"Backboard!"

Paul was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lin Sen to touch the ball, and immediately shouted to the inside.

The ball bounced off the front of the basket under Linsen's interference, and Rudy Gay, who rushed into the basket, grabbed this crucial defensive rebound.

beep!

A whistle sounded, and the referee signaled the first grade to request a timeout.

"38 seconds, behind by 5 points, the rookies at least succeeded in defending this time, and the most important thing for the first graders is the offense. Only by completing the offense can they keep hope. Of course, they must also do a good job in the next defense. Hoffman said, looking at the first-year players surrounding Kobe.

"Wood, what's next?" Kobe stared at Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked at Kobe in surprise, thinking he had heard wrong.

But Kobe's eyes told him that he heard correctly, and everyone else also looked at Lin Sen.

Lin Sen met everyone's gaze and thought for a while: "Leave the ball to me!"

Hearing Lin Sen's answer, a smile flickered on the corner of Kobe's mouth. At least he appreciated that Lin Sen was not afraid of taking responsibility, but he expected Lin Sen to take effective practical actions.

Lin Sen thought for a while: "Deron and Chris will definitely double-team me. I don't have a good solution for the time being, but I need a space to shoot. I hope everyone can help me. As long as there is space, then I will You can put the ball in the basket.”

Everyone knows Lin Sen's words, but the team in front also provided cover for Lin Sen, but the defense speed of the other second graders is too fast, often Lin Sen has just thrown off one of Paul and Deron. The other comes up, and the one that gets thrown off goes to the nearest defender as fast as he can.

"I know we didn't do well in the front, but I have a bold idea, give me more cover, I run, I believe I can run out of position with everyone's help, as long as I get out of position, I can get out of position. Throw the ball in."

Lin Sen's tone was extremely resolute, and the resolute tone also made the first-year rookies full of confidence in Lin Sen.

"Just follow what Wood said." Kobe nodded, and simply drew three consecutive cover tactics on the tactical board as quickly as possible.

Before the third line was drawn, the referee's whistle sounded.

"Come on, kill them!"

Kobe held out his hand and yelled.

The first-year teammates immediately put the ball on it: "Kill them! Kill them!"

"My ears didn't make a mistake, right? The first-year rookies seemed to be yelling to kill them? Are they still so confident?" Bill Wharton couldn't believe it.

"Unless my ears are wrong, that's what they yelled just now." Hoffman shrugged. "Maybe they found a good way to break the defense."

"Do you choose a quick two-pointer or a three-pointer in the frontcourt serve? If you score two points, you still fall behind by three points. This is far from enough for rookies.

If it is a three-pointer, then there are still two points away. Relatively speaking, the situation is better, but in this lineup, only Wood has a good three-pointer ability.

But the second grade is definitely not willing to watch Wood take a three-pointer, and I believe they must have emphasized this point off the court. "Bill Wharton said, looking at Lin Sen who was close to Deron and Paul.

With the whistle of the referee, Bargnani raised the ball in his hand, and the first-year rookies immediately ran.

Deron and Paul clung to Lin Sen like dog skin plasters. Lin Sen couldn't find a chance to catch the ball after running continuously.

However, Lin Sen didn't directly intend to catch the ball at all. He used his off-ball running to drive Deron and Paul to give his teammates a chance to catch the ball.

"Branton ran out!" Hoffman shouted as he watched Roy run out of the receiving position.

Seeing Roy successfully running out of position, Bargnani passed the ball immediately.

As soon as Roy received the ball, the second-year defensive formation immediately shrank.

However, Deron and Paul were still following Lin Sen. It was obvious that the second graders were determined to keep an eye on Lin Sen.

Bargnani ran into the field after serving, and Roy and Bargnani handed the ball to Bargnani.

Bargnani, who was standing outside the three-point line, directly raised the ball one by one, and David Lee was shocked.

Everyone knows that the reason why Bargnani was selected by the Raptors in the first place is because Bargnani is called the next Nowitzki. There is a certain degree of accuracy.

Roy, who passed the ball to Bargnani, ran towards the top of the arc along the three-point line, and Lin Sen turned around and ran towards the top of the arc at the same time.

Roy's running formed a short screen for Lin Sen. This short screen helped Lin Sen temporarily get rid of Deron's marking, but Paul still followed closely.

Facing David Lee who was rushing forward, Bargnani received the ball and bowed to cut inside the three-point line.

Just when Granger wanted to throw away Rudy Gay in his defensive area to defend Bargnani, Bargnani directly passed the ball back to Lin Sen.

However, Lin Sen did not keep the ball in his hands, but immediately passed it back to Roy at the top of the arc.

Bargnani, who passed the ball to Linsen, returned to the high post at the same time. Linsen, who passed by David Lee, used Bargnani's high screen to directly throw off Paul's pursuit.

Just when Granger wanted to defend Linsen, Rudy Gay also accelerated and tried to slip to the basket from the baseline.

Taking advantage of Granger's reaction time, Lin Sen directly cut to the inside.

When Linsen slipped out of the paint, there were no defenders around him.

"Follow!" James on the sidelines shouted towards the court.

Bogut chased Linsen hard, and when Bogut was about to catch up with Linsen, the ball in Roy's hand flew straight to the right corner.

呲!

The generation of legends under his feet rubbed violently against the floor, and Lin Sen stopped abruptly at the bottom right corner.

With the right foot as the axis, turn around on the spot.

Without any hesitation, Lin Sen turned over and took off.

Deron tried his best to run towards Linsen, and Bogut also jumped up, trying to put maximum pressure on Linsen.

Seeing Bogut pounced on him, Lin Sen raised the ball high and kept raising his body.

The hoop blocked by Bogut gradually appeared within Lin Sen's field of vision, and the hoop in the distance was as wide as the sea.

With a push, the ball left his fingers, Bogut's palm slapped in the air, and the ball flew straight into the air.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of people around the world, the ball drew a perfect arc in the air and fell to the basket.

Swish!

There was a crisp net scraping sound, and the timer was fixed at 17 seconds.

"Wood, Wood, still Wood! He spared no effort to run, and the whole team is serving Wood. He has lived up to the expectations of his teammates, no!" Bill Wharton shouted.

"This three-pointer is really important. There are still 17 seconds to go and 2 points. The suspense is back! Is it a foul tactic or a tight press first? The possibility of a foul tactic is greater." Hoffman also felt his own The heart beat quickened with the tension of the game.

James used the team's last timeout to be conservative, and Kobe also used this timeout to quickly arrange defensive tactics.

"Press first, everyone runs up and don't give them a chance to catch the ball. Once they catch the ball, they will foul immediately." Bryant emphasized loudly.

In addition to the fans who rushed to the scene, it was the first time for the local fans in Las Vegas to experience the critical moment of the NBA at close range. The atmosphere of the entire Thomas and Mack Center froze at this moment. People who bought tickets and sold them regretted it very much.

beep!

A whistle blows, and the last 17 seconds start.

"The progress of the game was completely beyond our expectations. There are still 17 seconds to come back from the timeout, the crucial 17 seconds." Bill Wharton stared closely at the players walking towards the field.

Bogut, who made a bad free throw, has been replaced by Ellis, and David Lee stands on the sideline and prepares to serve. (To be continued.)
