The Kings already led by 15 points, and Bunyama was timid due to foul trouble. This made everyone agree that the Kings were only 12 minutes away from the championship.
However, after playing in the 4th quarter, the situation was shocking.
The Kings played more conservatively, and they did not dare to attack Wenbanyama again.
In the view of the Kings coaching staff, they can hit Bunbanyama in the first three quarters. If they make a mistake, there is still an opportunity to make corrections.
And using four or five turnovers in exchange for one foul by Bunyama is a good deal.
But in the 4th quarter, with only 12 minutes left, they went to attack Wenbanyama.
It is not cost-effective to pay for four or five mistakes or fouls in exchange for one foul by Bunyama.
And people often become more timid as they get to a critical point.
So the coach didn't dare to be too bold.
Wang Yi had consumed too much physical energy at this time, and he was unable to challenge Wenbanyama anymore.
On the other hand, Bunyama was showing off his power at this time.
After he came on the field, he played like a desperate warrior.
On the defensive end, he is not afraid of the Kings' occasional attacks on the inside. He will do his best to block the ball.
On the offensive end, he played extremely violently.
In just 5 minutes, he had already dunked 4 times.
Even if the dog used all kinds of dirty tricks on him, Wenbanyama didn't care at all at this time.
Anyway, it’s just the last 12 minutes, just fight until you can’t stop.
This kind of hard work produced miraculous results.
In these 5 minutes, he led the team to recover 10 points.
At this time, there were only the last 7 minutes of the game left, and the Kings only led by 5 points.
In this case, the Kings are even more afraid to attack the inside.
Because there are only 7 minutes left, there is no capital for trial and error.
But at this moment, Doug came into play.
When he was defending, when Vunbanyama took the ball and turned in front of him, he moved sideways and blocked his chest on Vunbanyama's shoulder.
As soon as Wenbanyama's shoulder touched him, Doug fell backwards violently, falling two meters and sliding back another meter.
The visual effect of Brother Dao's fall to the ground was extremely shocking, and the referee immediately blew the whistle.
Wenbanyama was called for his 5th foul.
The reason is that Wenbanyama's shoulders are heavy.
His shoulder hit Doug's chest.
After this foul, Bunyama calmed down a little bit. After all, he should leave the field if he commits another foul.
Although Jordan said: He will be responsible for the six fouls when they leave the game.
But now is different from before.
We were 15 points behind before, and seeing that our chances of winning were slim, we just fought hard until we left the field.
But now we are only 5 points behind, with more than 7 minutes left on the clock, so we are very hopeful of winning.
So at this time, Bunyama's mentality is the same as that of the Kings just now, a little worried about gains and losses.
As a result, the score difference between the two sides remained about 5 points.
The Kings now put all the offensive responsibility on Wang Yi and Danny.
Others can only limit their opponents on the defensive end.
But a suffocating defense like that cannot last the entire game.
They had used suffocating defense many times before, and the physical fitness of other players had also dropped a lot at this time.
This gave the Hornets players a chance to breathe, and the point difference slowly caught up again.
Finally, with 40 seconds left in the game, they tied the split.
Next, the Kings failed to attack, and the Hornets once again relied on Bunyama to execute the offense.
Although he failed to score the goal, it caused a foul by Tours.
Tours left the game with six fouls.
Wenbanyama made two free throws, and both free throws were made accurately.
At this time, the Kings only had the last 16 seconds of attack time left.
The cameras at the scene kept shining on Wang Yi, because they all knew that in this situation, Wang Yi would definitely take over the attack.
Wang Yi was indeed glaring at the scene and said to the coach, "Give me the ball at the last moment!"
The coach and all the players nodded unanimously, because giving the ball to Wang Yi at the last moment is a strategy the Kings have always adhered to.
Even though Wang Yi's offensive efficiency in the fourth quarter was not high, he has made countless kills in the past.
The impression given is that he almost never misses a sure shot.
At this time, when the referee urged both sides to play, the hearts of all the spectators were in their throats and everyone stood up.
They stopped shouting and making noise.
Almost everyone clasped their hands in front of their chests and prayed secretly in their hearts.
This could very well be an offense that has a bearing on the Kings' championship.
LeBron James, who always likes to do things to liven up the atmosphere, was standing quietly on the sidelines at this moment, quietly watching Wang Yi on the court with his three banana boat brothers.
As former players and former superstars, they all know how important these 16 seconds are to the Kings.
At the same time, they also understand too well the tremendous pressure the person who executes the offense faces in the last 16 seconds.
It's as if one person has to bear the pressure if the sky falls. If this person can't bear it, everyone will be doomed.
That kind of pressure is like a huge stone pressing on the heart. The small heart cannot bear this mountain-like pressure and seems to burst at any time.
In ordinary games, a person who can withstand this kind of pressure and hit the last attack can be worth several times in an instant, and his jersey is likely to be sold out overnight.
Since then, his reputation has skyrocketed.
In the finals, if you can withstand this pressure and hit the last shot, your worth will increase at least 10 times, and you will probably leave your name in history.
This shows how important this last shot is.
Players from both sides take the field.
After serving, Wang Yi held the ball on the outside.
He was in no hurry to attack.
Because he had to wait until the last second before taking action.
This is his style.
Everyone on the Kings team was exhausted today, and they really didn't have the energy to play for another five minutes, especially since his physical fitness was not at its peak, and Rose could hardly move his legs at this time.
Because Danny had to constantly exchange with Wang Yi to defend three goals, and he also had to take care of Tours and defend the opposite power forward with Tours, so Danny's physical fitness was almost exhausted at this time.
So this ball is best solved with three points.
Of course, the opponent must know what Wang Yi means, so they will not let him easily shoot a three-pointer.
Then there must be a backup option of two points.
Time passed minute by minute, but except for the 10 players on the field, everyone else's time seemed to have frozen.
They remained motionless and stared at the 10 people on the field without blinking.

Chapter completed!
