Chapter 323: A goal to end the battle of Tianwang Mountain
The Pacers fans were already ready to celebrate from the beginning and were pulled back to a stressful state by James' two consecutive unreasonable offenses. The three-point score advantage was completely unstable with one minute left.
Fortunately, it is still the Pacers' offensive opportunity now, and this game still has absolute initiative for them, provided that at this time, this Pacers will not make a huge mistake of 24 seconds violations like the beginning, otherwise, these 3 points would not be enough for them to lose.
Lin Sen has missed two consecutive hits on the offensive end, and the inevitably decline of the feel gives Lin Sen a feeling that he is not strong at this critical moment.
The ball in this round was given to George on the outside, as if he was distrust of Lin Sen, but in fact, it was just creating a better opportunity for Lin Sen. The inside line was pulled away, and Lin Sen stood in a more comfortable position than the horn position at the beginning.
George's pass was very decisive and directly stuck to Lin Sen's position. At this moment, there was only TT in the inside line. When facing Lin Sen, he had to reach this position, which was Lin Sen's height and wingspan advantage.
"Speak to the east and hit the west! Did Lin tell them? I have also heard of China's 36 strategies. Lin created a very good opportunity for himself! At the moment when Paul George caught the ball, I really thought this round would be his round, but now it seems that Lin has always been the player that the Pacers trust the most." Bill Walton showed off the little Chinese culture he got while explaining.
"Hey, I'm a little sad. Brothers, at least I've worked with you so many games together. I think you should already understand my personality enough. I won't be afraid at this time. If the opportunity is mine, then it will always be mine."
Lin Sen looked at his former teammates and looked sad because he was not trusted.
Of course, sadness is false, and it is true that the confidence of the opponent is affected. At this time, disturb the opponent's mind and make the opponent's offensive mistake in the last round will be stable.
However, the Cavaliers are all old fryers, and the score difference has reached two rounds, which is not good news for the Cavaliers. Normally, this round has become a round that the Cavaliers must succeed, and they have to speed up their progress in this attack.
James dribbled in search of opportunities. He was surrounded by heavy troops from the opposite side, and from the beginning, George had already set up an ambush on his breakthrough route on the front defense and CJ Miles on the side.
James' breakthrough was double-teamed, but James was never the kind of player who had to take action in the last round. He was never stingy with sharing the ball with his teammates at the end. At this moment, the one who received the pass from James was the Cavaliers' unpredictable JR Smith, and he activated his divine attribute at this moment, and took the ball and took a quick shot to grab the key 3 points for the Cavaliers.
"These two teams are really interesting. They score crazy when they want to score, or they just make a crazier blacksmith together, and they really don't let anyone else!" Bill Walton looked at JR Smith, who held up his hands and stretched out three fingers to celebrate.
Lin Sen also looked at this old teammate who continued the Cavaliers' hope at the critical moment. He always felt that this guy couldn't let go too much, especially at the critical moment. JR Smith would definitely surprise everyone. Okay, at this time, McMillan may still regret why he gave JR Smith so many opportunities relatively.
The score difference suddenly returned to two points, and there were 33 seconds left. The Pacers unexpectedly did not have to pause at all. McMillan believed in his players' solutions to the current dilemma.
Gordon dribbled the ball and pushed it over, but it was not fast. They planned to spend the last attack after spending these 24 seconds. He was looking for opportunities. If there were a very good opportunity, they would not insist on the idea of spending time.
But the Cavaliers' defense is not the lazy and lazy team in the regular season. Even in the regular season, they will definitely be full of concentration at this time.
Gordon's breakthrough was blocked, and then the ball was passed to George. Linson, who was inside, was directly sandwiched by the front and the back, and the one who was empty was Glenn Robinson III at the bottom corner.
The latter should have taken the first move after receiving the basketball. Even McMillan was behind him and shouted to him quickly to take action, but this season's three-point shooting just 34%, and 28% of the playoffs Glenn Robinson hesitated at this critical moment.
This moment is like Durant allocated the ball to Robertson, who was open on the outside in the seventh game of the Western Conference Final last year. It was obviously a very good opportunity to make a phone call, but because hesitated about his move and did not take the shot, the ball was defended. Glenn Robinson, who did not take the shot at the first time, took the shot when it was almost time to reach the point in 24 seconds.
The basketball barely hit the basket, and a long rebound flew directly outside. At this time, Lin Sen finally showed his inside advantage not only in singles attacks and frame protection. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that Lin Sen is also an offensive rebounder who averaged 3 offensive rebounds per game.
The rebound was completely crushing and took the rebound from TT's head, and Lin Sen, who grabbed the rebound, saw TT who did not press his center of gravity low enough at the first moment of landing.
Dribbling, the first step turned around and landed. TT, who had not adjusted the defense, turned around and stuck behind him. TT quickly wanted to use a foul to stop Lin Sen, and grabbed Lin Sen's waist, but this did not stop Lin Sen from putting the basketball into the basket with a soft touch.
The goal is effective and the penalty is added once. The referee's gesture directly made the Cavaliers desperate. They also wanted to discuss with the referee that he had just made a foul first, but the referee just waved his hands directly, firmly expressed his refusal to talk, and then pointed directly at the free throw line.
"The game only took 5 seconds to end the battle of Tianwang Mountain. Now, at the beginning, the consequences of Tyron Lu's double timeouts appeared at this time. These 5 seconds could only allow them to run from the backcourt to the frontcourt to score a three-pointer, and now, the Pacers are already 4 points ahead." Bill Walton directly sentenced the Cavaliers to death.
