222 Save the team

There are thunderous boos in the basketball court! Now there are only the last 18 seconds left before the end of the third quarter. In the past few minutes, the Hornets suddenly hit another wave of ** on the head of the Suns. Today's Hornets are like an invincible Xiaoqiang. They are quite tenacious. Paul played a big role in the attack wave just now. He helped the Hornets play a pretty beautiful attack wave with his three consecutive assists.

Today, the two point guards have feasted everyone's eyes and seen their fork. Paul's data so far is 17 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 steals, while Nash's data so far is 18 points, 14 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal. Two people have played such excellent assists in a single game, even if They are not in the same team, but this is enough to attract the attention of the audience and the fans watching the game. Now there are only the last 18 seconds left until the end of the third quarter, but the Hornets are 6 points ahead of the Suns.

The situation of the Suns today is a little bad. The Hornets have been suppressing them. Although the Suns also had super counterattacks again and again, such counterattacks involuntarily weakened later. Then, the Hornets will seize the opportunity of the Suns to start a counterattack. Under their crazy counterattack, the Suns have to give up their lead again. In this way, the Hornets are still a few points ahead of the Suns.

The ball is in the hands of Nash. He also saw today's game. He knew that this game really made the Suns' fans and players a little entangled. They had never been able to solve the threat of the Hornets. Instead, the other side has been seizing the opportunity to suppress them, which made them feel a little annoyed.

However, this is the last ball, so Nash is still quite careful when controlling the ball... Otherwise, it is not a joke if he is accidentally robbed by Paul at this time. In this way, Nash began to dribble slowly outside the three-point line, but he was not in a hurry to attack. After all, this was the last attack in this quarter, and he did not want to leave the Hornets a chance to attack.

The game time faded in a second. With nine seconds left in the game, Nash suddenly used a ** dribble, and then his speed was full of fire. In a short moment, his speed was completely raised to the peak and passed by Paul. Paul had already prepared for Nash, but he still couldn't defend Nash under this sudden breakthrough. Besides, there were several Suns players next to Nash who were helping him stop him.

However, the Hornets' inside line is as dense as ever. They didn't give Nash any chance to break through and score goals, so Nash's legs pedaled to the ground and his body had risen to the air in the moment he came near the free throw line!

Although the opponent's inside line had jumped up to block Nash, Nash's shot was quite clever, just in the last moment before their defense came up. In this way, although the other party jumps very high, he can only stare in front of Nash's wonderful grasp of the rhythm.

In this case, the basketball draws a unique arc and flies to the basket, but what is a little annoying is that although the radian is no problem with the ball and the gliding direction is no problem, the certainty in the force is a little worse, and the basketball is hit. On top of the basket, then it turned around and flew out. There are still four seconds left until the end of the third quarter. The Suns fans are a little sorry. It seems that the Hornets can still get an offensive opportunity, and then their score difference will be further superimposed, so it will be a little troublesome for the Suns to recover the point difference.

So, the fans looked at the ball and were ready to accept the Hornets' super fast attack, but at this moment, they suddenly shouted in surprise! Because Marion, who was inside, suddenly grabbed the basketball and held it firmly in his arms!

"Good board!" Everyone shouted one after another, and even Zhang Chen also shouted for Marion's ball in his heart. In this moment, the inside line of the Hornets soon surrounded it fiercely. Marion's shooting space has been completely locked, and his current position is not very good, just under the basket, so he wants to go out. The hand is quite difficult. Marion judged the situation a little and knew that he could not score, so he threw the basketball out in the direction of an impression on the outside line.

Marion just passed the ball with a trace of his own impression. After all, there is not much time. They have to make good use of every second, so he has no choice but to pass the ball. Fortunately, the trajectory of the ball was quite good, and it just appeared in Zhang Chen's hand!

Zhang Chen's current position is about a step from the top of the three-point arc. Suddenly, he received the pass and did not hesitate at all. At this time, Bell just rushed in to grab the rebound, just in front of Zhang Chen and Morrison.

There was no time to hesitate. As soon as Zhang Chen's legs opened, his body had turned into an arrow away from the string and quickly stabbed into the inner line. In the moment when Zhang Chen's body was fully activated, Morrison also started the whole process of starting his attention. However, when Zhang Chen released all his speed, Morrison could only follow Zhang Chen helplessly, and as soon as he took a step, he was blocked by Bell!

Zhang Chen continued to break through. His nine-level speed was full of firepower, and he threw away another person in an instant. Now there is only one West left in front of him.

Zhang Chen broke into the ground towards the left side of the basket. His speed passed two people, but West, a tall man, was still in front of him. Zhang Chen did not intend to let go of his breakthrough fruit easily, so he did not stop his breakthrough, but had been entangled with West to the bottom line. Place!

Zhang Chen had no way to go. The inside defense of the Hornets shrank again. Zhang Chen had no more chance and space to get closer to the basket than this. Seeing that there were only the last two seconds left, Zhang Chen suddenly stepped forward with his right leg while kicking hard. Then, Zhang Chen's body had jumped high. And in the process of soaring into the air, his body began to slowly pass his direction until he adjusted the direction he was facing into a basket. At the same time, Zhang Chen's body has come to the highest air. While his body rises, he is also regressing. When his body reaches the highest air, his body also retreats to the point where it can't be retreating!

West just didn't fully judge clearly. It was not until the moment Zhang Chen suddenly pulled it up in front of him that he reacted, and then began to jump up into the sky to block Zhang Chen. It's just that he has slowed down a beat in rhythm. After all, the timing of Zhang Chen's jump is quite in place, just in the moment when West didn't have time to react at all.

Although his right hand has rushed to the highest emptyness he can reach, Zhang Chen's body has begun to retreat, so West's right hand is destined to be farther and farther away from Zhang Chen's basketball.

There are 1.23 seconds left, and Zhang Chen stopped and leaned back after such a breakthrough. His body even seemed to have flown out of bounds. At this time, the basketball in his hand finally broke through the waves!

The basketball rushed up to the sky, and the force was quite amazing, as if his goal was not to break through the ceiling and break through the round place designated by human beings! At this moment, Zhang Chen's body began to fall and fell to the ground, and the basketball began to fall after reaching the highest point.

"Wh!" The basketball almost fell vertically into the net from a high altitude. It didn't look like a drag at all. Under Zhang Chen's whistle jump shot, the Suns scored two points again, and the difference became four points.

There was less than a second left for the Hornets to attack. The Hornets really did nothing in this quite limited second. Paul came to the place near the half and began to shoot directly. Finally, the basketball flew out of the sky above the basketball rack in a joy. The sun The team was four points behind the Hornets and entered the last quarter.

————Although the last quarter of the game will be a real life-and-death battle, now D'Antoni can't help his anger on his face. He said angrily to the players, "Hey... Who can tell me what's going on? I want to know the answer to a question... Why are we always suddenly interrupted by them when we have the ability to lead our opponents... Then we return to their rhythm... Oh, my God, this is not a good omen! We need to control the game more calmly, and we need to control the rhythm of the game! The next quarter is the one that will determine the winner of the game. We must not lose again! We are going to take them down, understand?"

"I see!" Everyone knows that D'Anthonys tone is a little bad. In fact, the players don't feel very well. The Hornets have been suppressing them, which makes them feel blamed. They are always suddenly defeated by their opponents in the moment when they can take the lead. This feeling is really terrible. In fact, they are also extremely eager to win today. They can prove to the league that they are the bosses in the West, and the Hornets can only be their losers.

"You must cheer up in the fourth quarter... but you can't let the damn New Orleans people win." Xiao Si finally said something to everyone. Suddenly, everyone agreed that the atmosphere in the locker room reached a ** again.

The break between such a section was not too long, and Zhang Chen and others soon began the last section of the fight.

Now on the basketball court, the players of both sides meet again, and each other's eyes are already full of fighting spirit. Zhang Chen did not play at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He was sitting off the court and watching the match between the two teams. Now they all know that at the end of the fourth quarter, the Suns and the Hornets will definitely have a life-destruction battle, so D'Anthony's guiding ideology is to let Zhang Chen get enough rest as soon as possible and become the trump card of the Suns at the most critical moment.

When De Anthony and Zhang Chen were on the bench, De Anthony was always used to talking to Zhang Chen. He pointed to Paul on the basketball court and said, "Chen... What do you think of that little guy? I remember that he was still your coach in the All-Star Game!"

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "That's right... Speaking of which, Chris is a relatively energetic player, and his face is always full of a businesslike look... I think he should be one of the best 1.8-meter players in the current league."

"Speaking of Chris... Chen, your speed has really improved a lot."

"Uh...it seems so."

"What I want to say to you is that maybe you should try to improve your ball control skills. I can see your speed because you are a little clumsy - I'm sorry, I use this word to describe your ball control skills, but anyway, your ball control skills really need to be improved. You need to spend more time on it, and With your physical fitness... According to that guy Aaron, your talent is improving. In this way, you can also improve your physical fitness as much as possible... Only in this way can you really embark on the road of a superstar.

Zhang Chen can hear that this old guy is not just saying this to improve the combat effectiveness of the Suns. After all, it is difficult for him to be with Zhang Chen all his life. Hearing these words, Zhang Chen nodded slightly and said, "I will try my best."

D'Antoni nodded, but before he finished his nod, he suddenly changed his hands in his chest to a forward angry finger, and then he said loudly to Dior who passed by him, "Hey... Dude, don't you want to do it anymore? How could you lose such an easy ball?

Dior smiled and ran forward. D'Antoni looked at Dior's back a little helplessly and said to Zhang Chen, "Hey, Chen, you have to prepare to play... It seems that they don't want you to be too leisurely."

There are still six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Now the Suns are still five points behind the Hornets, and now the Hornets have the ball. Paul hit a jump shot, and the Suns' trailing score becomes seven points.

After the whistle, Zhang Chen returned to the field.

Seeing Zhang Chen's playing Suns players began to smile. After all, Zhang Chen is one of their strongest firepower points, and his appearance can make the Suns' firepower more fierce. However, the Hornets, especially Paul and Morrison, are not very good to see Zhang Chen's face. Morrison was entirely because Zhang Chen could use all kinds of means, unexpected and strange means to bankrupt his plan to defend him. Paul frowned because he knew Zhang Chen's strength very well. He knew what kind of player he was. Anyway, at least he was quite fond of such a player from the perspective of a point guard.

It's just that they are now enemies. Paul felt guilty when he knew that the Suns were going to add another new force. After all, they also wanted to win this game, even more than the Suns.

The first ball is the right of the Suns. Nash controlled the ball and began to prepare to organize the attack after half-time. Now Zhang Chen is back, he is also relieved. After entering the fourth quarter, they still face the same situation as the first three quarters, that is, when they see that they can lead the Hornets, they are always lifted off by the other side, and then they face a wave of Hornets attack waves, and then their seemingly easy-to-hand lead is extinguished again.

It's not just the players who are in pain, but the audience is also in pain when they see this situation. They saw that the two sides were going to change, but the Suns were strangled again... The audience couldn't wait to become one of the players and rush to kick the Hornets' buttocks fiercely.

"Chen! Catch the ball!" Nash gave the ball to him as soon as he saw Zhang Chen on the court. At the same time, he also began to take Paul around the intersection of the inner and outer lines. Anyway, the two of them were more loving and happy, and there was no tense atmosphere. Zhang Chen faced Morrison again. He lowered his center of gravity, then held the ball in his right waist with both hands, and then his right leg leaned forward.

Morrison has also defended Kobe Bryant, and also knows the technical characteristics of that guy and Kobe's strength. Seeing Zhang Chen's move, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: this guy's starting style is quite like Kobe's. Zhang Chen stretched out his right leg and leaned forward twice. Morrison was still unmoved. You know, Kobe always had the patience to do a lot of fake moves. When the defender was impatient, it was when he began to explode. Morrison's judgment on Zhang Chen was obviously the same.

Zhang Chen was really ready to pull it out. Seeing that Morrison was unmoved, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity again, and then blocked the salted pig hand from Morrison who tried to steal it with the side of his body, and then he took a step forward with his right leg on the ground!

"Sure enough!" Morrison couldn't help but want to admire his fierce ability to watch people's attack. He immediately took a step back and prepared to defend Zhang Chen's next breakthrough attack. It's just that something happened that surprised him at this time.

Zhang Chen just ran a step forward. Seeing that Morrison had followed, he suddenly withdrew his right leg, and his body retreated back beyond the three-point line in a short moment! Morrison in front of him has been distanced by him for a step or so. In the face of this distance that can basically make him calm, Zhang Chen jumps out without pressure. Morrison's right hand, which hurried back, once again became the foil of Zhang Chen's goal. The basketball slid through a superb arc and plunged directly into the basket.

A three-pointer hit!

The score gap is the last 4 points left, and the Suns seem to start another counterattack.

Morrison still had a headache. Zhang Chen's shot was so awesome that he could not defend at all. He could only pray that he could not hit the shot, but Zhang Chen could often throw a ball that surprised him, and every time he scored was quite beautiful, which made him helpless.

The Hornets' shooting rate in this game has always been relatively good. Now that the attack and defense have been converted, there is finally a problem with their shooting rate. West, a 17-foot assassin, finally missed the jump shot at 17 feet. The basketball flew out and came to Xiao Si's hands. . Xiao Si quickly passed the ball to Nash. Nash saw that the Hornets' retreat was still in order. They didn't have any chance to attack fast, so he was not in a hurry and let his teammates slowly return to half-time, and another battle began.

At this time, Zhang Chen began to run. Seeing that the Suns already had a leading trend, he began to plan his own attack. Morrison followed Zhang Chen's side and chased after Zhang Chen, but after Zhang Chen made a series of running fake moves, Morrison had no choice. Finally, he could only let Zhang Chen open the distance from him. . Nash's pass at this time also appeared in Zhang Chen's hand, and then Zhang Chen began to jump.

However, Morrison rushed to Zhang Chen at the last moment when he started the jump shot. His tall right hand had seriously affected Zhang Chen's coherent surname. The continuity of a three-point shooter is quite important. Just like Zhang Chen's shooting rate can even reach a staggering 97% or even higher when they usually throw three-pointers without defense, but when it comes to the basketball court - his total three-point shooting rate this season is only 54.6%, that's it. He is already the three-point king of the league. The key reason is that in actual combat, their action will be disturbed by the other party, which affects their consistent surname.

Therefore, Zhang Chen's jump shot could only go bankrupt, because he knew that he had been seriously disturbed. At this time, he happened to see that Xiao Si had a vacant seat on the inside line. Now he changed it to a pass, and the basketball flew into Xiao Si's hands.

The Hornets didn't expect Zhang Chen to choose a pass. Suddenly, he could only let Si slam dunk and hit, and also caused a foul for the Hornets players. Xiao S's free throw and hit steadily, and the Suns were only one point behind.

"Overtaking!" Many people began to yearn for the arrival of the overtaking moment, but at this time they were even more nervous, because in the previous game, it was often when the Suns were about to start shooting and so on. They were turned over by the Hornets, and the Hornets fiercely launched the attack again, and the Suns' leading trend was only It can collapse.

The Hornets' attack was destroyed by the Suns. Chandler received a relatively good pass from Paul. Now he began to get up and began to roar and dunk. As a result, he was blocked by a big hat. The referee immediately came up and said that the ball was foul.

Xiao Si was a little annoyed, but under the obstruction of his teammates, he gave up the tempting idea of going to the referee to argue. Chandler began to take a free throw, and his free throw rate was not more than 70%. This time he made two free throws and one hit, creating a good chance for the Suns to overtake.

The players on both sides immediately returned to the half, and the audience began to look forward to it. At the same time, they were worried that the Suns would be strangled by the Hornets again, so they began to watch the next goal.

The basketball came to Nash's hand. He still controlled the ball relatively steadily through the half-court, and then his leisurely pace suddenly changed a hugely. Then the basketball in his hand was thrown out fiercely by him and went into the inside line and came to the small In Si's hands.

The pass of the ball is quite far away. Seeing that Xiao Si successfully received the basketball, Paul also sincerely praised Nash: "Hey, Steve... This ball is really beautiful!" However, although the ball was passed beautifully, Xiao Si was immediately hit by his opponent after receiving it, so he had to pass the ball to Marion, but Marion was also caught by the opponent, and finally he could only pass the ball to Bell.

A big cooperation of the Suns was formed in this way. Bell immediately passed the ball to Zhang Chen before he received the ball and passed it to Zhang Chen.

The Suns' series of passes made the Hornets a little dazzled, especially Morrison, because Bell's fake shot just now was so real that he could only run to defend Bell, which left enough space for Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen received the basketball outside the three-point line and began to jump off the shot without pressure. Once he made a jump shot, he was out of life and death, and he was unmoved by favor and humiliation. There was only the basket in the distance left in his eyes. The audience's heart is about to jump out of their voices... They don't want to make the same mistake again. They hope that the Suns can really overtake the score. Therefore, all of them focused on the figure who started the jump shot!

"Wh!" Three points for a steady hit! The Suns overtached by one point! Suddenly, the sound of thunder in the audience was like thunder, and the sound of applause rolled like waves, and the sound and waves drowned everything for a moment.

Zhang Chen's jump shot was immediately celebrated by forced chest bumps from his teammates. At this time, the wonderful cooperation just now has been played over and over again in the replay of the big screen and some live broadcast stations, and all five of the Suns participated in it.

In the next few minutes, the Suns maintained their lead, but their lead did not last long. Just two minutes later, the Hornets began to launch a wave of counterattacks. Paul continuously assisted his teammates to hit, and he also hit a three-pointer. The Hornets instantly overt the Suns and It is possible that the score gap will widen.

Fortunately, Nash stood up at the critical moment. He broke through the inside line and cheated a 2+1. His free throw hit steadily and got three points, which temporarily stabilized the situation for the Suns. Then in the following time, the two sides began to attack each other at the most thrilling moment. Their scores were Alternately rising, the Suns hit one, and the Hornets have to return it. They remained in such a state until the end of the game.

Although both sides want to open the score with the opponent immediately, neither side has been able to realize this good wish, because the opponent always comes out to stop them at the right time.

When there were 42 seconds left in the game, Nash of the Suns dragged the time to 25 seconds, leaving the Hornets an offensive opportunity without leaving his own way out. Then his sudden stop jump shot and scored two points, and the Suns overtwins one point.

It really responded to the mainstream of the point guard duel in this game. Paul broke through when he pressed the time to the last five seconds left, shot and the Hornets led by one point.

There are only the last five seconds left for the Suns. D'Antoni called a timeout and the game continued. At this time, Nash passed the basketball to Zhang Chen, who was on the left foot of the three-point line! Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Zhang Chen.
