Chapter 80 Key Minute
The next minute after the pause is undoubtedly a very critical minute. If it is usually, it must be an insignificant minute, but now this minute is completely related to the gambling, so everything has become different. The ordinary will no longer be normal, and now Smith and Barkley join. After that, the ordinary will become extraordinary.
However, the confidentiality work this time is obviously very good. Everyone knew about the last gamble at the exit. The reason why they were immediately known was that they did not block the microphone, and they obviously blocked the microphone just now, so it can be said that in addition to their parties, only the author dropped Ye knows, and of course, readers know it after reading it.
The timeout will come back soon, and the game will be restarted. Will Barkley's revenge be successful, or will Smith continue to laugh to the end? Let's wait and see together.
McGrady held the ball and did not let Lori, who had just come up from the bench. This is not distrust of him, but McGrady wants to leave the ball to himself. The Rockets have fallen behind by 13 points in the score, so there is no doubt that the next game wants a success rate and strive to catch up with the score within ten points. When it comes to the fourth quarter of the game, there will not be so much pressure, otherwise the pressure will be very high, and it is inevitable that there will be too many behind and fights because of chasing points.
At half-time, McGrady was not in a hurry to attack. Although time is very important to them, they completed this attack. Next, in addition to a Cavaliers' attack, they also left enough time for the Rockets to complete the attack, so McGrady was not in a hurry at all, just to press the time.
Although McGrady suppressed the time on the outside line, the Rockets' players did not wait in place because of this, but kept running. Even after knowing that McGrady was ready to play this attack, they kept running.
It's his business whether McGrady passes the ball or not. If McGrady finally chooses to pass the ball and they are not in the running position, then the wrong thing is them. No matter what, they have to run the position. Unless McGrady, who holds the ball, tells them not to run the position, or the coach tells them not to run the position, they will never not run the position.
McGrady counted the time of the game in his heart. Seeing that it was almost done, McGrady started directly, but this time, Battier had expected it and took the lead in moving in front of McGrady. The reason why the enemy prophet can be predicted is entirely because of time, because the attack time is almost here, so Battier thought in his heart that McGrady's attack was coming soon. Sure enough, McGrady started in the next moment, so he could appear in front of McGrady in such a short time, otherwise how could he be? It will appear in front of McGrady so soon.
For Battier's appearance in front of him so quickly, he won't have any surprise. When he faced Battier, he thought of the worst result, so he was not shocked by this. What kind of opponent Batyr is he? As a teammate with him for many years, he is still Very clear.
How much time is left? At this time, everyone knows very well that there is little time left, and McGrady is still entangled with Battier and has not got rid of it.
Both Barkley and Smith looked nervously at McGrady holding the ball. One prayed that he would not enter, and the other prayed that he would enter. At this time, they did not care about the passage of time, because they completely focused on McGrady, just to see if he would After scoring, Barkley and Smith naturally know the importance of this goal.
At this time, there are still five seconds before the attack. If McGrady fails to throw the ball within five seconds, it will be a 24-second violation. Although there was not much time, McGrady did not panic at this time, but was very calm. Five seconds is enough for him to complete the next attack, so of course he won't panic because of this. Just because he is a superstar McGrady, how can he panic over time like a rookie?
McGrady naturally knew that there was not much time. Although he was not nervous or panicked, he still had to seize the time to take action. If there was a 24-second violation or something, it would be a tragedy and wasted the opportunity to further reduce the score, so McGrady would never let this happen.
McGrady's continuous change of direction has never been able to get rid of Battier's close defense. At this time, McGrady also began to be anxious, because it is only three seconds away from this attack. At this time, McGrady has completely fallen into passivity. The initiative is not in his hands at all, nor in Battier's hands. But in the hands of time, time determines everything.
Seeing that it was almost time, McGrady didn't think so much. Instead, he made the best choice at the moment in an instant, directly ignoring Battier's defense and pulling out his hand.
However, Battier obviously expected this situation for a long time, so at the moment McGrady took action, he also rushed directly. Naturally, the direction of his hand was the ball in McGrady's hand. Obviously, Battier wanted to cover the opponent's ball. As long as it was covered, then this attack and defense can be said to be a very perfect. Defense is definitely a 24-second illegal defense.
At this time, McGrady had no choice but to throw the ball in his hand. If he landed or chose to pass the ball, the result was a violation, just a violation. The violation could not run, so McGrady could only choose to take action. At this time, McGrady had no choice but to be completely In the case of movement.
At the moment of McGrady's shot, Battier's hand arrived as scheduled, very, very timely, and directly rushed up to cover McGrady's ball. This was very clean without any suspicion of being a hitter, but at this time, the referee's whistle sounded.
Battier turned his head and looked at the referee with a puzzled and slightly innocent face. If the referee blew his batsman's foul, then the Cavaliers would lose a lot, because McGrady's shot was a three-pointer, so Battier turned his head to look at the referee to see what the referee's decision was.
At the same time, McGrady relaxed a little and turned his eyes from Battier to the referee. He also wanted to see how the referee would judge the ball.
The referee did not make a trace of the hitter, but directly blew the Rockets for the 24-second attack violation. The Rockets had no opinion on this. They naturally saw the cover just now, and naturally knew that the ball just now was extremely clean, so there was no opposite meaning to the referee.
And McGrady could only shake his head. Obviously, he was helpless about not completing this attack. However, since the referee had made the final penalty, he had to accept it and run back to the half-time to participate in the defensive role of the next attack.
Smith directly scolded the ball just now. Whether the ball was a 24-second violation or not, he also directly scolded the referee. He knew that the ball was not scored, so Barkley's chances of winning him were getting bigger and bigger, so he directly scolded the referee, and at the same time did not forget to scold McGrady once.
And Barkley next to him breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Smith amusingly and said, "You don't have to do this, do you? Is it necessary to do this? Isn't it just a ball?" Obviously, Barkley is a little gloating at this time.
Barkley's meaning Smith naturally understood, and directly counterattacked, "You don't say sarcastic words there. If your partner is you, I think you must be more embarrassed than me. I saw it with my own eyes last time." Smith didn't forget the long time ago to fight back against Barkley, who was a little arrogant at this time.
Barkley didn't answer Smith's words, because he knew that this was not an opportunity. Only when he won, it was a good opportunity. At that time, he could hit him. At this time, the victory or defeat was not divided. If he hit now, he would undoubtedly become a laughingstock, so he didn't say anything at this time. Language, so as not to cause tragedy.
Seeing that Barkley shut up knowingly, Smith let him go, but turned his eyes back to the field. This is what his group needs to care about now. At the same time, he keeps saying in his heart, don't go in, don't go in, don't go in.
Huang Jun holds the ball. There are still 36 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, and Huang Jun is also ready to exhaust the attack time, and then choose to attack. However, he also knows that this attack is completed, and the Rockets also have another attack.
Seeing that it was almost time, Huang Jun did not choose singles like McGrady, but called a cover. Asik did not hesitate. Instead, he brought it up in time and gave Huang Jun a very excellent cover, completely blocking Lori.
Seeing this, Huang Jun gave Asik a goal of gratitude, and then went to break through the inside line. During this period, he easily passed the front defender with a quick change of direction and a turn. Finally, Huang Jun completed the attack with a very relaxed upper blue under the nervous eyes of Barkley and Smith.
At this time, there are still 15 seconds left before the third quarter. This time, Huang Jun's attack time can be said to be three seconds earlier, leaving three more seconds for the opponent. Fifteen seconds is enough for any team to complete the attack, let alone the Rockets team.
At this time, Barkley had no extra action. He just watched the game on the field so seriously. In the next 15 seconds, it was very important to them. Winning or losing was really the next attack. Chengye Smith won, and Barkley also won. So at this time, Barkley and Smith also began to be nervous. It's hard for them not to be nervous.
The Rockets still handed the last ball in the third quarter to McGrady. Obviously, the Rockets trusted McGrady very much. McGrady secretly vowed in his heart that he must score the ball. Only in this way can he have a chance to win, otherwise he will enter the fourth quarter with a disadvantage of 15 points. There is no doubt that they will enter hell, so the ball in the end can also be said to be very important.
McGrady held the ball and quickly pushed forward to the half, and there were still ten seconds of attack time in the half. Because someone blocked the half, McGrady had ten seconds left to attack after the half. Ten seconds can be short or long. Will he enter?
At half-time, Da Ben immediately came up to make a cover for McGrady. Originally, McGrady didn't want this cover, but when he saw that Da Ben had covered him, he could not refuse, so he had to use this cover to break through the inside line, and Battier was naturally blocked by Da Ben's cover and failed in time. Follow McGrady.
Although he couldn't keep up, Battier was not in a hurry, because there was still a defense waiting for McGrady, so he was not as nervous as everyone thought.
As soon as they broke through Battier, Landry and Asik on the inside line directly made up for the defense, forming a bag defense. They wanted to clip McGrady's bag in it, but it was a pity that they couldn't block McGrady and let McGrady kill him directly under the basket. At this time, there was no one to defend, that is, the next time it was over. It's all the time for McGrady to show.
When he got to the basket, McGrady didn't hesitate or anything. He jumped high when he was still a little far from the basket, and at this time, Barkley and Smith's expressions were wonderful.
Barkley's turned from hope to despair, while Smith turned from despair to hope. The world is so strange.
