The audience members became nervous and looked at the field nervously.

If you don't make the second free throw, you're definitely giving the Lakers a chance.

Unlike the audience's idea, the Lakers players were looking forward to Rubio's second free throw, and Nol and Gasol were desperately fighting against their respective defenders and ready to grab the rebound at any time.

Rubio took a deep breath, aimed and made the second free throw.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, the second free throw was steadily made, and the Timberwolves led by 4 points!

Rubio's free throw shooting percentage was 82%, and he lost one goal unexpectedly, but the probability of missing two consecutive free throws is really unrealistic.

A burst of cheers suddenly came out on the scene, and there were only 18 seconds left before the end of the game. A 4-point lead was enough to ensure that they won the final game.

The Lakers immediately called a timeout, and there was little time left for the game, and they had no way out. They had to shoot three points for the next ball, and they had to make a shot.

"There is still time. Let's calm down and play another ball. Don, you just catch the ball..." Billups' tone was calm and he began to explain the tactics of the next round carefully.

He looked calm, but Xiao, who was beside him, couldn't help but reach out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After the timeout, the Lakers served the sideline ball, but Gasol was still serving.

The Timberwolves' defense has been expanded to the perimeter, and it is clear that they will not give three-pointers a chance.

"beep!"

The referee blew the whistle to continue the game.

Gasol raised the ball high, and Towns in front of him kept reaching out to interfere with his passing route.

After the whistle sounded, Lakers players also ran quickly to start tactics.

Tang Shuai was the first to go outside the three-point line. This time, Billups arranged Noel, and Batum and Deng gave him a three-game block, finally delaying the Timberwolves' defense for a while. He successfully ran to the outside line and took over Gasol's pass.

Aldridge soon came to defend, and he had completely given up on his defense against Noel.

Tang Shuai held the ball and did not immediately make a three-pointer, but suddenly lowered the center of gravity and then broke through the penalty area towards the inside.

This breakthrough came very suddenly, and Thibodeau was shocked.

With little time left, Tang Shuai actually chose to break through and get 2 points?!

What the hell? Does Billups want to have another quick 2 points? But the time is obviously not enough.

"Changxi is still inexperienced. This is the choice at this time..." Webber couldn't help but sigh. Even if the goal was scored, it would be all about the Timberwolves' free throw. This way of handing the hit to the opponent is really not wise.

Shuai Tang was indeed breaking through, and he accelerated to go to the inside before Aldridge's double-team.

Rubio chased and defended, but the others just looked back at Tang Shuai and did not shrink. It was obvious that the ball was released after 2 points.

Tang Shuai reached the free throw line in a blink of an eye. It only took more than 4 seconds and less than 5 seconds from the time he came out of the serve.

He has already started.

Rubio also gave up on chasing defense.

However, just when everyone thought that Tang Shuai was going to start a layup, he suddenly threw the ball to the left after pulling it in front of him.

This time it was too sudden, and it could even be said to be abrupt.

But at this moment, Deng appeared at the end of the pass route.

A trap!

Billups set a trap, using Tang Shuai's restraint and the last tactic misleading, which attracted everyone, including the other four players on the field. After all, with the Lakers' lineup, it must be played for Tang Shuai at the last moment, and even if you don't shoot three-pointers, it's easy to get two points into this ball.

But, he chose to pass the ball.

The ball was passed very quickly, but Deng grabbed the ball with one hand. This was obviously a tactic. When Tang Shuai broke through and attracted the attention of others, Deng and Batum had already broken the ball and walked out of the three-point line on both sides.

After Deng received the ball, he rushed to make a three-pointer before the defender came.

Deng's three-point shooting percentage in his career is only 33%, which is not a stable three-pointer, but he does have this range. And more importantly, as a veteran, in addition to the fluctuations at the beginning, his psychological quality is quite stable, which is why Billups dared to hand over this key shot to him.

After the basketball flew out of Deng's hand, it flew straight towards the basket.

More than 20,000 pairs of eyes at the scene looked at the flying basketball.

The spotlight also flashed everywhere. The ball entered or did not enter, which determined the suspense at the last moment.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Deng's three-pointer hits!

There was an uproar on the scene, with only 1 point left in an instant.

The Timberwolves called a timeout.

Thibodeau unconsciously scratched his head, which was already hairy with his hands, and it was obvious that he did not expect the Lakers to come.

The fans' mood at this time also became extremely nervous with the timeout. In an instant, the home team actually stood on the edge of the cliff.

"Changxi is a genius. I apologize for the previous words. He is really smart and bold." Weber said from the bottom of his heart at this time.

In fact, what Weber said was not wrong. In the previous round of this tactic, the tactics arranged by Billups were finally unable to be passed to Tang Shuai, which shows that he still underestimated Thibodeau's defensive formation, but what he was strong is that he made adjustments so quickly, which is also the main reason that he was impressed.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves sent a sideline ball, but Rubio was still receiving the ball. The latter ran on the court for more than a second before being chased by Shuai Tang to a foul.

Rubio went to the free throw line again.

At this time, Tang Shuai looked up at the game time on the court, and there were just 11 seconds left.

The scene soon became completely quiet, with Rubio's two crucial free throws.

He took a deep breath and the free throw rate was significantly slower than the last time.

"Swish!"

The first penalty is.

"Swish!"

The second penalty is still there.

For a player with stable free throws, it is really difficult to count on him to miss the penalty.

A burst of cheers sounded at the scene, leading by 3 points, at least I have guaranteed that I will not lose.

Billups called the Lakers for the last timeout.

Almost all the audience members had stood up, and many people couldn't help but look up at the scores on the field.

"beep!"

The time-out time has come, and Bilups pulled the players for a while and then let them play.

The Lakers made adjustments to the lineup and replaced Deng and Batum with Stephenson and Mike Dermot. Judging from the posture, they were really ready to win the last goal.

"The last 11 seconds, the last chance, will this be the first overtime game in the playoffs this year?" Webber said and looked on the court.

It was still Gasol serving the ball, and the person who received the ball was Stephenson. After he received the ball, Mike Dermott and Tang Shuai ran from the two bottom corners toward a forty-five-degree angle through pick-and-roll.

"Come on! Keep up!" Thibodeau shouted loudly from the sidelines.

The Timberwolves showed their strong defensive ability at this time, and each chased their own defenders, but they didn't give them a chance.

There was not much time left in the game. When Tang Shuai and Mike Dermot ran to the forty-five degrees, the 11-second world had only less than 9 seconds left.

Billups' tactical arrangement for the last goal failed!

Stephenson had no choice but to throw the ball at Tang Shuai as if he was desperate.

If a miracle happens, then the person who created the miracle can only be Tang Shuai.

When Tang Shuai saw Stephenson passing the ball, he tested Rubio who was leaning against him, reached out with his right hand to grab the ball, and did not stop for a second, and turned around and jumped up after a pull-up shot.

Rubio's defense was not completely removed, and he jumped up and rushed forward.

Shuai Tang had no choice but his eyes were firm, and only the basket with a diameter of 45m was left in his eyes.

He didn't know which basketball bag he activated for this ball, whether it was Truth's turn and backward bag, Novak's three-point bag, or McGrady's pull-out bag. After he jumped, he aimed at the basket and threw the ball out mechanically.

Rubio's interference was slowed down for a little while.

The basketball drifted a curve in the air and flew straight towards the basket.

Tang Shuai looked straight at the basketball, and he still maintained his posture when he was shooting when he was falling.

"Swish!"

A crisp sound echoed throughout the stadium.

The audience was shocked.

In the last moment, Tang Shuai scored three-pointer and shot!

Score, 106 tied!

The Lakers tied the score!

The game time is less than 2 seconds left!

The Lakers, with their efforts, won themselves the opportunity to overtime!
