Chapter 177 Look at the watch and see three points(2/2)
One person and one goal seemed to have great magic power, making everyone's eyes fixed on him.
Now there is less than a minute left before the end of the third quarter, and the two teams are tied at 75:73...
The Clippers were only one goal away from equalizing the score.
This goal can greatly affect the morale of both teams.
Griffin felt the drastic change in the atmosphere around him. While dribbling the ball with Aldridge's back, he observed the changes in his opponent's position.
Obviously, Griffin, who has long been accustomed to the focus of flashlights, is not only not anxious about the attention of everyone, but also has a crazy increase in fighting spirit.
During this period, Griffin was regarded as another iconic figure in the league. His explosive playing style brought him unparalleled popularity. Many people regard him as one of the seed players who will be the number one player in the league in the future.
If Aldridge could talk trash, it might disturb Griffin's mind, but unfortunately...he won't!
After thinking about it, Griffin glanced at Jordan, who understood and walked out of the paint.
Wang Zelin hesitated for a moment and left the restricted area.
Jordan's ability to cut and eat cakes from the air has to be guarded against.
In full view of everyone, Griffin half-turned to face Aldridge, staring at the latter fiercely.
He moved!
First, he swung the ball up with both hands and faked a shot. He suddenly lowered his center of gravity, using his left foot as his left center foot. Then he quickly stepped back with his right foot, followed with his left foot, and successfully passed Aldridge for a layup.
Finished at the basket.
This is a guard-style breakthrough and turn around the basket, which requires extremely fast speed and a smooth process.
However, Griffin really fulfilled the above requirements.
75:75.
The two teams tied.
The offense and defense exchanged. Lillard didn't wait for Wang Zelin to get into position and waved him to come out for the pick-and-roll.
Wang Zelin didn't refuse. He was a little tired from the frequent shots, so he came up to help Lillard block Paul.
Lillard breaks through from the right.
Lillard, who was sprinting with all his strength, caught Jordan off guard and failed to follow him after changing defense. After Lillard entered the reasonable collision area, he suddenly grabbed the ball, separated his right foot, took a step forward, bent his knees, and grabbed the ball high.
Lift it up, tense all over...
This is an iconic tomahawk chop!
How could Jordan, who was so confident in his physical fitness, witness his opponent complete such a dunk, jump up with a run-up, and cover Lillard?
"Eh?"
Jordan jumped up, and the basketball suddenly disappeared from his sight. When he landed, he realized that the basketball suddenly jumped up...
"Snap...swish!"
Wipe the board into the basket!
He raised his head and looked at the big screen...it turned out that Lillard changed the dunk to a layup at the last moment, avoided Jordan's block, and hit the layup with a lever.
77:75.
What a thief!
Jordan rubbed his new hairstyle in frustration, and waited for Paul to come over and quickly serve the baseline ball.
There are still 37 seconds left, and theoretically each side has one attack time.
It was the Clippers' turn to attack. Paul accelerated and passed Lillard. Wang Zelin didn't do what he thought and jumped to block the shot at the right moment.
But Paul chose to distribute the ball at the last minute. Willie Green received the pass at the three-point line in the corner. Batum interfered in time and failed to hit the ball.
The audience in the stands stood up, applauded, or shouted. There were still 15 seconds left, as if everyone wanted to know the performance of the Trail Blazers' final attack in the third quarter.
As Wang Zelin's cheers rose one after another, the last candidate for the performance seemed to have been born.
However, Lillard went to the frontcourt, ignored the fans' chants, and signaled his teammates to open up space.
Wang Zelin and Aldridge quickly retreated to the left and right perimeters, ready to rush for rebounds.
Although he failed to meet the requirements of some fans, Lillard still made many fans full of expectations.
Averaged 17.8 points, 8.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game...and a league-high 39 minutes of playing time!
All of the above are enough for Lillard to live up to the expectations of all Portland fans.
Although next to Wang Zelin, Lillard is not as dazzling as in the previous impression, but this is only compared to the United States.
Looking at the world of basketball, with the support of his teammates in China, Lillard already has a certain reputation, which was something he could not achieve in his rookie season.
Correspondingly, endorsements for off-site commercial activities also come faster and more frequently than in the previous life.
…
"The fan atmosphere in Portland is really good, the fans are so enthusiastic!"
Kenny Smith laughed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Tsk, if I were a Portland fan and drafted two super talents who could serve as the cornerstones of the team in the same draft, I would be more than just a fan.
I’m so happy that I’m going crazy.”
Buckley added.
"Yes, the most important thing is that not only do their positions not overlap, but they can also complement each other."
"..."
Off the court, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro looked serious, and he heard the exchange between Kenny Smith and Barkley.
He fully agreed with Kenny Smith and Barkley.
"First it was the Thunder, and now there is such a young army in the Western Conference. It will be difficult to make the playoffs in the future."
Back on the court, there are 8 seconds left on the clock.
Lillard still stayed outside the three-point line, and the hearts of the fans in the Rose Garden were almost in their throats.
What does this guy No. 0 want to do?
Doesn't he look at the time?
Paul was also filled with doubts.
Normally, the best time to launch an attack is around 8 seconds.
This time point can not only take into account personal offensive choices, but also have enough fault tolerance.
For example, assisting (throwing) and attacking (causing) a teammate at the last moment...
Last 4 seconds.
Paul's hair stood on end and he was highly focused.
It's a pity...Lillard still has no idea of entering the three-point line.
Some fans either held their heads or covered their eyes. They no longer had any expectations for Lillard and had no idea what the latter was up to.
Wang Zelin on the inside seemed to have thought of something, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.
Would you really do this?
Everyone's thoughts were racing, and in the last three seconds, Lillard finally moved.
Cross-stepping forward, forcing Paul back... With two seconds left, Paul took off decisively.
He had a hunch that this would be a pull-up three-pointer.
However...Lillard suddenly took a step back and took a shot after getting enough space.
The ball just missed a certain distance from the hand, the red light came on, and the third quarter was over, but no one cared about it.
Everyone's attention was focused on the orange basketball flying in the air.
Blow and blow, let this ball blow...
"Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
The three-pointer hit the board, and the Trail Blazers added another three-pointer, 80:75. The point difference was like a cycle, and it was back to 5 points.
Everyone on the Clippers was about to cry...
Where is the instigator!
