In the last 8 seconds, the Kings were only one point behind, 117:118.
At this time, all 17,500 spectators in the Golden Center Arena were standing to watch the game.
No one in the audience sat down, because at such a critical moment, no one could sit still.
In the box on the third floor of the stands, Kings owner Ranadive had also gotten up from the sofa and was pacing in the box.
In 17 years, the Kings have never made it to the playoffs. They finally made it this year, but they still haven't won a game.
Now they are only two points away from the final victory, only 8 seconds away.
At this time, Hield was serving the ball from the sidelines of the Kings.
Walton failed to draw a subtle tactic for Wang Yi to receive the ball.
He just let Wang Yi attract the defense and let others catch the ball.
Wang Yi ran from the basket to the line, and Westbrook followed him closely.
James was also waiting for the opportunity, and his thick eyebrows also interfered with a pass in the middle.
In this way, Bagley caught the ball easily.
He was at the top of the arc, holding the ball high.
The thick eyebrow kept reaching out to interfere with his passing.
He saw Westbrook clinging to Wang Yi, and James was ready to double-team him at any time.
But there was space on Barnes' side, so he passed the ball to Barnes.
The Lakers didn't move too far when defending Barnes. After all, Barnes just made a three-pointer.
So when Barnes got the ball, they had already pounced on him.
However, because more of the defensive focus is on Wang Yi, Barnes still has time to take action after getting the ball.
He didn't hesitate at all, keeping his eyes on the basket.
His eyes were full of determination.
If he could have stood up in the third quarter, he wouldn't have played like this.
Now that the fight has reached this point, the only thing he can do is to make up for it.
So he took the three-point shot without any hesitation.
When all the fans saw this scene, they all shook their heads.
" no, no, no, no no no!"
Although Barnes just hit a three-pointer, he has made only 1 of 6 three-pointers since his debut in the third quarter today.
There was still nearly 7 seconds left when he caught the ball.
With such a long time, you can definitely find an opportunity to pass it to Wang Yi and let Wang Yi take action.
Why did he have to take action himself?
In the past, Barnes was the calmest player on the Kings. How could he be like this today?
Under everyone's almost desperate gaze, the basketball moved unswervingly towards the basket.
Whoosh!
Three point hit!
"Wow——"
At this moment, the entire Golden Center Arena completely exploded.
No one could have imagined that Barnes would dare to take this ball, not even the head coach.
And you can make a shot with just one shot.
As soon as the ball was scored, the Lakers took a two-point lead.
All the fans cheered and jumped for joy, and so did all the Kings players.
In front of the TV, all the fans in front of the screen were cheering and jumping for joy.
However, at this moment, the thick eyebrow at the baseline stepped out of the baseline and got the ball instantly.
Sent directly to James.
While the Kings players were still cheering, James was already dribbling toward the Kings backcourt.
At this moment, everyone reacted instantly.
"Return to defense! Come back to defense quickly!"
"They're going to launch a fast attack."
"Oh my god, damn it, we forgot!"
With only 4.5 seconds left, the Lakers have no timeouts and must initiate a fast break.
Kings players ignored this.
According to past practice, after they score, the Lakers will call a timeout.
So no one thought about returning to defense.
Only Barnes thought of this immediately, and at the same time, he was retreating after shooting the 3-pointer.
So he was the only one in front of James at this time.
But can he withstand James' impact alone?
You know, although James has reached the end of his career and his physical condition has declined a lot compared to before, James is still unstoppable when he rises.
Can James and Barnes guard him alone?
At this moment, Wang Yi reacted immediately.
He gritted his back molars, worked hard, and kept switching his legs.
He kicked the floor hard with both feet, leaned his whole body forward, and chased James at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
At this moment, James used the speed that his old body could explode to the limit.
And Wang Yi also kept his head down and used the speed that could burst out of his body to the extreme.
It looked like the two were running toward the Lakers' basket, one behind the other.
From the visual effect point of view, it is as if there is a crazy heavy tank in front and a supercar in the back.
They galloped away one after the other.
At this moment, the eyes of tens of millions of fans around the world were fixed on these two people.
James has entered the three-point line, and Wang Yi is still in the middle line.
There are 2 seconds left.
James went to the free throw line and Wang Yi went to the three-point line.
There is 1 second left.
James takes one step inside the free throw line.
First, he faked a step to the left.
Then pull the ball with your left hand, using your right foot as the axis.
In an instant, he turned around like a top and passed by Barnes.
Then he picked the basket and shot.
At the last moment, a perfect layup!
This is not the first time he has done this.
However, just when the basketball left his fingertips and flew towards the backboard.
A figure suddenly jumped up from behind him.
It was like a hurricane blowing across his back.
A big hand suddenly stretched out.
With a roaring wind, it hit the basketball hard with unparalleled power and speed.
Bang——
There was a loud noise and the basketball was hit hard on the backboard.
Then it bounced away far away.
The thick eyebrow followed up and picked up the rebound.
Take the shot directly from outside the three-point line.
However, the red light has come on.
The buzzer made a sharp sound like a reminder.
Di——
The referee's harsh whistle also sounded.
It completely sentenced the Lakers to death in this game.
The game is over!
Although he has thick eyebrows, he still shoots stubbornly and hits the basketball accurately.
But it doesn't help anymore.
The referee stretched out his hands and made a gesture to invalidate the goal.
120:118.
The Kings finally won with difficulty.
At this moment, Golden No. 1 center is finally boiling completely.
"Win!"
"Win!"
"We won!"
The audience cheered, hugged, and shouted.
In excitement, they once again worshiped Wang Yi.
In the private room on the third floor, Nicole and Anjiali also hugged each other excitedly.
Nicole burst into tears.
Anjiali kept shouting: "We won, we won, we finally won!"
In the box next to him, the boss Ranadive was grabbing his hair frantically in excitement and waving his fists: "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..."
When O'Neill saw this scene, he was both excited and regretful:
"Oh - the shot was blocked! The new king used the old king's signature move to kill the old king."
Magic Johnson was also excited and regretful: "It's not easy for the Lakers to recover the maximum point difference of 19 points. They still underestimated the enemy too much and underestimated the Kings. But now let us congratulate the Kings and congratulate them for winning the 17th-year championship.
Chapter completed!
