Chapter 260 Ups and Downs

261, ups and downs

The shot bounced out of the frame, and everyone immediately went into chaos.

"rebound!"

I don't know who yelled in the chaos. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the flying basketball game.

The few people on the inside were already fighting hand-to-hand.

At this time, the Sonics' arrangement appears to be more effective because Ewing and P.J. Brown are both on the court.

On the other hand, the Lakers only have one O'Neal.

Although Robert Holly can also play the fourth position, he is not a traditional inside player.

It's okay to let him shoot three-pointers from the outside, but it would be a bit awkward to let him go inside to grab rebounds.

Originally, the purpose of letting Robert Holly play was to increase the threat from the outside and even to throw a surprise key three-pointer.

However, it seems that it doesn't have much effect now.

At this time, just under the basket, O'Neal had been offered by P.J. Brown and Ewing.

It's just like the sandwich that Americans like very much, but this sandwich is too rich in content, and some of it can't be packed in.

Although it can't be packed, under this front and back attack, Supersonic's advantage is still very obvious.

"Well done!"

Off the court, Paul Westphal clenched his fists, as if he had a premonition of victory.

Not just him, but the players on the field and on the bench with the Sonics also think so.

Even the fans inside and outside the Key Arena thought so, and victory seemed within reach.

However, at this moment, a black and strong arm suddenly stretched out.

Ignoring all interference, I just squeezed it out and then pushed it hard.

The fallen basketball flew up again, and it was still heading towards the center of the basket.

You know, O'Neal has been greatly restricted by PJ Brown and Ewing's front and rear double-teams.

But even so, it still couldn't completely restrict him.

This is O'Neal's dominance.

Basketball was stabbed like this. To be honest, at this moment, the hearts of the entire Key Arena were hanging in the air again.

It turns out that the hunch was a little too accurate.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball just flew towards the basket, and after circling the basket twice, it fell directly into the net.

"The ball went in! Oh my God, how is this possible?"

Even the live DJ at Key Arena had a look of shock on his face and couldn't believe it at all.

But if I think about it more carefully, it was O'Neal who did all this, and it seems that there is nothing impossible about it.

101:102

The score reversed again, and at this time, SuperSonics fans were already so nervous that it was unspeakable.

A decisive kill, this is naturally what everyone wants to see.

But precisely because it is so rare, it reflects how difficult it is to kill it.

No one can be sure that they can complete the winning goal 100%.

Kobe can't do it, and neither can Michael Jordan.

What's even more terrible is that there are only 7.6 seconds left, which means that no matter what, the SuperSonics only have one chance.

Even if you want to use foul tactics, there is not enough time.

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, we still have time, we're just one point behind."

There was no harshness as before, let alone yelling, and even Paul Westphal was still comforting him.

But, it's of no use.

Losing offensive rebounds three times in a row, you can imagine what a huge mistake this was?

What's even more fatal is that not only did they lose points, they also allowed the score to be overtaken.

Even bystanders can imagine that after the game, they will receive various criticisms from the media.

Bystanders know it, let alone those involved.

Moreover, once you are the culprit of failure, you will not be able to accept it easily even if you are under psychological pressure.

Paul Westphal wants to help his players adjust their emotions and preferably get back into shape.

But, there’s no time!

He had already called the team's last timeout, and it was only a short 20-second timeout.

He still has to make tactical arrangements, so he doesn't have time to do anything else.

"King, you resolve the game."

Paul Westphal didn't waste any time and directly handed over the last attack of the game to Wang Hao.

Because time is of the essence, Wang Hao does not need to take action immediately after catching the ball. At least there is still time to adjust.

Therefore, Paul Westphal did not arrange specific tactics, but asked Wang Hao to adapt to circumstances.

He just arranged a serve-receiving tactic and handed the ball to Wang Hao safely. That was enough.

Naturally, others have no objection to the head coach's arrangement, even Gary Payton.

Because Wang Hao has proven with actual performance that he is qualified to handle the ball at this time.

Moreover, in terms of key ball ability alone, even Gary Payton is far behind.

Not to mention, in today's game, Wang Hao was definitely the one in the best condition in the team.

37+5+6, another superstar performance.

If in the last few rounds, the Sonics' inside line can be more powerful, it will definitely be another result.

In this case, what else is there to say!

Ewing was substituted, leaving only P.J. Brown as an inside man, which was considered a reserve.

What if Wang Hao doesn't score, what if there is a chance to grab a rebound...

As for the one who replaced Ewing, it was not Reuben Patterson, but Michael Reed, who was more accurate from beyond the three-point line.

In fact, this is also a bit of a smoke bomb.

It's just that whether the effect is there or not, or how big it is, is a matter for the beholder.

After all, the Lakers all know that this ball will be handed over to Wang Hao.

The Sonics also know that the Lakers know, so will they make changes?

After continuous screens, Wang Hao finally went around the three-point line and finally received PJ Brown's pass.

It was at this time that everyone in the Sonics pulled away.

At this critical moment, it is not a very wise move to pick and roll because there is a time limit.

More importantly, the opponent is likely to double-team.

Once Wang Hao is double-teamed, even if he can pass the ball out, the tactical arrangement has actually been wrong.

Not to mention that such a forced pass is not necessarily a good thing, more importantly, the tactical arrangement was originally designed to allow Wang Hao to end the game.

Kobe appeared in front of Wang Hao immediately, and he didn't dare to be careless at all, and immediately stuck to Wang Hao.

If you are facing other players, when your team is only one point ahead, just try to prevent breakthroughs as much as possible.

After all, as long as the opponent scores two points, that's enough.

But he was facing Wang Hao, a man whose three-pointers were no worse than two-pointers.

Kobe believed that as long as he dared to give him a chance, Wang Hao would dare to shoot and even have a good chance of making a shot.

Wang Hao is also unambiguous. Since there is a chance, it will naturally be a breakthrough.

However, the Lakers were already prepared, and O'Neal was already eager to double-team in the paint.

Not only that, Horace on the flank is also shrinking.

Wang Hao did not dare to be careless. He reacted quickly during the high-speed breakthrough and chose to make an emergency stop.
