At this time, major social media were already rushing to report the news that the Kings and Lakers entered the second overtime.
NBA official Twitter: Lakers vs Kings, Wang Yi tied with a three-pointer and entered overtime, lbj tied with a three-pointer and entered the second overtime.
"New York Times" official website headline: "Lakers vs. Kings enter second overtime"
China Douyin hot search list: "Lakers vs. Kings second overtime"
Even before the game is over, it has already been ranked as the top trending search topic, which shows how much China pays attention to this game.
Basically all the major live broadcast rooms are in a state of explosion.
The number of people in Yuyan’s live broadcast room exceeded 5 million.
This was originally a small live broadcast room on a small website. In the past, it was difficult for the number of people to exceed 1 million.
Today it skyrocketed like crazy, directly breaking through 5 million.
This made the three live broadcast girls very excited.
"You can add chicken legs today."
Miss Yu Ji said.
"This is definitely the pinnacle of my live streaming career!"
Miss Da Qiao nodded.
"Highlight moment, our highlight moment."
Miss Sun Shangxiang has a high-pitched voice, just like the arrogant Sun Shangxiang in Pesticide.
The number of viewers of Tencent's NBA live broadcast room has exceeded 200 million.
This has already broken the record of viewers on Tencent NBA platform.
At this time, Mina's palms were not only sweaty, but her entire face and neck felt hot.
She had felt this way twice before.
The first time was in 2013, when James was with the Heat, Ray Allen's desperate three-pointer in the Finals.
The second time was in 2017. When James was in the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers made a desperate comeback 1-3, and James blocked the shot of the century.
And now this feeling appears again.
In the end, will the Lakers led by James advance and challenge for his fifth championship, or will the Kings led by Wang Yi create a black eight miracle and enter the second round?
Just look at the last 5 minutes.
The short two-minute break is far from enough for these players.
But as the referee blows the whistle, the players have to play.
They are warriors and they must fight until one of them falls.
Finally, the second overtime began.
The Lakers' lineup at this time: Westbrook, Tucker, James, DeAndre Jordan, Howard.
The Lakers coach's idea is that since no one can make a shot today, there is no need for any space.
So he put both Jordan and Howard on the court to form a twin-tower lineup. They wanted rebounds and defense.
Kings lineup: Mitchell, Wang Yi, Barnes, Danny, Bagley.
The Kings coach has no choice. Originally, the team could only play with seven players, but one person couldn't play today and the other was sent off.
Both sides fought with remnant formations.
The Lakers lost two main players, and the Kings also had two main players unable to play.
From the beginning, both sides were trying to shoot three-pointers.
They didn't have the energy to rush in anymore, and since both sides' shooting percentages were not high, everyone was crowded under the basket.
It's impossible to break through at all.
James tried a three-point shot from outside, but failed to hit it.
Wang Yi also tried a three-point shot, but still failed to hit.
Since they couldn't break through, both sides could only continue to attack from the outside.
But the shooting percentages of both sides were appalling.
When Wang Yi saw this, he gritted his teeth and forced his way inside.
Although he was blocked once and made a mistake, it ultimately caused Howard a foul.
Master Huo finally graduated as a sixth offender.
Due to Wang Yi's mistake and a blocked shot, the Lakers seized the opportunity and scored two fast breaks.
When the final minute came, the lead was 4 points.
And the Lakers still have the ball.
In this situation where it is extremely difficult to score every goal, being 4 points ahead and still having the ball seems to be a huge advantage.
The Kings coach requested a timeout.
This timeout is not to arrange anything, but to allow the players to take a breath.
Although James on the opposite side is older and needs more rest, Wang Yi has been playing from the first second until now without resting for a second.
After a two-minute pause, Wang Yi felt that his strength had recovered somewhat.
After playing again, the Lakers still handed the ball to James to handle.
James and Westbrook engaged in a pick-and-roll, and finally passed the ball to Westbrook, who cut in through the air.
But at this moment Wang Yi followed Westbrook.
When he was about to take a shot, he made a huge shot and hit the ball on the backboard.
Bagley grabbed the rebound and the Kings quickly launched a counterattack.
Although everyone had no strength at this time, they had to fight back even though they gritted their teeth.
Wang Yi did not dribble, but directly gave the ball to Mitchell.
At the same time, he rushed forward like a gust of wind.
Mitchell doesn't need to do anything else, just throw the ball forward, and Wang Yi will always catch up with the ball.
Sure enough, after Wang Yi caught up with the ball, he made a smash.
This is a very simple chop.
No unnecessary fancy moves.
After all, the game has reached this point, and Wang Yi's physical fitness is a little behind. If the moves are too fancy, he may be dunked, which would be a tragedy.
112:114.
The difference is only two points.
The Lakers took a timeout and turned around to continue attacking.
Westbrook seized an opportunity and broke through to the inside.
Then came Westbrook's iconic flying dunk.
However, perhaps due to lack of physical fitness, his jump height for this split dunk was not very high. The basketball hit the front edge of the basket and flew high.
"oh--"
The whole audience exclaimed in surprise.
After all, age is not forgiving!
Today's Master Wei is about to enter the twilight years of his career.
He has had many dunks like this this season.
What's more, this was a dunk in the second overtime.
When Bagley and DeAndre Jordan competed for rebounds, they jumped continuously and sent the ball flying multiple times.
In the end, Bagley had longer arms and passed the ball to rookie Danny.
Danny handed the ball to Wang Yi.
Under the current circumstances, it seems that only Wang Yi can handle the ball on the offensive end.
After Wang Yi got the ball, he rushed forward like crazy.
Although there were two Lakers players ahead, Wang Yi had no other choice.
At this point in the game, my physical energy has been exhausted so much that no one can score from the outside, so I can only kill inside.
But if it falls into position, all the Lakers players will be defending on the edge of the penalty area and will not be able to penetrate.
Then you can only play fast break to find opportunities.
Even if there is no chance, we must work hard to grab the opportunity.
Tucker, who was guarding Wang Yi in front, saw that he couldn't guard Wang Yi's European step and could only reach out to cut the ball.
As a result, Wang Yi was hit on the arm.
The referee blew the whistle.
Wang Yi stood on the free throw line.
After all, Tucker is still young and lacks defensive experience.
There are 33 seconds left in the game at this time.
In the eyes of everyone around the world, Wang Yi was taking a free throw under tremendous pressure.
If this means missing a free throw, the Lakers' chances of winning will be much smaller.
However, they did not know that the more critical moments like this, the more excited Wang Yi became.
He could only divert his attention.
He glanced at the beautiful cheerleaders on the sidelines of the Lakers who were interfering with his free throws.
Although Wang Yi is not very fond of their looks, one thing is that they still have great figures.
Chapter completed!
