Chapter 210: From Hell to Heaven!
McGrady came to Zhang Weifeng. He was the one who served this time. As for why McGrady was arranged to serve, we have to ask Adelman. As for why Zhang Weifeng was arranged to defend the opponent's serve, it was completely Siyus' meaning. In Siyus's view, Zhang Weifeng's athletic ability can play in the third position. With the advantage of height and length of arms, Siyus chose Zhang Weifeng to interfere with the opponent's serve. In this way, it was also to give the opponent a certain amount of pressure. If the opponent's mistake was really caused, it would be the King's luck. However, when Siyus saw that it was McGrady serving, he did not have hope. Perhaps Adelman guessed the foul tactics that the Kings would adopt, but the premise of letting the opponent foul was that he had to serve without making mistakes. This is the key to ensuring victory and leading advantage.
As the referee, Crawford's duty is to ensure that the game is carried out to the last moment. When he blew the whistle, everyone on the field suddenly moved. Zhang Weifeng's hands spread apart, covering McGrady's sight at once, and the other four were very flexible players. In order to successfully foul, Seyus had already taken Miller. In this way, the Kings' intentions on the field were already very obvious. The first thing was to do was to try their best to suppress the Rockets players to defend, making it difficult for them to catch the ball or even unable to catch the ball. If McGrady really sent the ball successfully, then the Kings would do the first thing they had to do was to foul.
Seeing Zhang Weifeng blocking McGrady's vision, Adelman's heart tightened slightly. He was afraid that he could not serve or made a mistake in serving. However, he thought about why he asked McGrady to serve, wasn't it just to ensure that there was no mistake? After thinking about this, Adelman's nervous mood was temporarily suppressed.
"Trecy! Tracy!" On the field, Alstom was greeting McGrady because Calderon was stuck on the side of his body.
When McGrady saw this scene, she threw the ball out without hesitation.
Zhang Weifeng jumped up immediately when he saw the flying basketball. However, McGrady threw it too high, and even if he jumped up with all his strength, he could not stop it.
I have to say that McGrady's passing level is very good. Just under the attention of the whole game, the basketball fell accurately into Alstom's hand. The moment Alstom received the ball, Calderon stretched out his hands and made a foul without hesitation. He had already lost his position. If he hesitated on the foul, then the time would only be spent. In that case, the less time left for the Kings to attack, the more hasty the attack will become. Calderon made Alstom's hand. Because the number of fouls has been reached, the Rockets will have two free throws as long as they make a foul.
When the referee whistle sounded and signaled that Calderon was foul, Alstom breathed a sigh of relief. During this position grab, he deeply realized the difficulty of this "international friend".
Alstom's free throws, and the fans standing in the front row were naturally allowed to provide a noise interference. The first free throw was bumped on the basket, and then the booed fans of the audience fell into the net bag.
The score was 84:87, and the Kings were 3 points behind.
Alstom played for the Rockets for 34 minutes in this game, but only contributed 5 points, but he had 8 assists. Adelman, who didn't know what his hand felt, was also a little worried.
In the second free throw, Alston became obviously cautious. He knew that being able to make the first free throw was a part of luck. In the second free throw, he paid attention to the adjustment of strength and shooting angle.
Siyus replaced two inside players before the second free throw, and the purpose was self-evident. Zhang Weifeng stood on one side, beside him was Scola Miller and Amir Johnson standing together, with a short and thick Hayes in the middle. It has to be said that Adelman's trust in Hayes, Hayes has made a mistake, but he still chose to let Hayes stay on the court. The three inside players of the Kings are all about 210, compared to the two inside players of the Rockets are a little short. In this way, as long as Alstom does not score the free throw, the rebound will almost fall into the hands of the Kings.
Alstom took a deep breath, glanced at the basket, and pushed the ball out.
As soon as the ball was shot, the atmosphere under the basket became tense. Zhang Weifeng took a step forward with his left leg and stuck Scolla behind like an old tree taking root. Miller stuck Hayes, Amir Johnson took a step right, and the man reached the opposite side of the basket. In this way, the three of them surrounded the basket!
Sure enough, when the rebound was jumping high, it was obtained by the well-bouncing Amir Johnson. After Johnson got the rebound, Seyus immediately used the last timeout.
......
From the Rockets serving to the Kings grabbing the rebound, it called a timeout. The time on the timer took only 2 seconds, which means that the Kings had 9.1 seconds to organize the last attack. The question now is whether the Kings wanted a conservative two-pointer or a gambling three-pointer. Two-pointer is easy to score, so the Kings would have to play an overtime game with the Rockets. Because Yao Ming committed 6 too early, the Rockets were empty inside, and the Kings would have a great advantage in playing overtime. If you bet and shoot a three-pointer, if you don't score, then all the efforts of the Kings would be wasted.
With tens of thousands of eyes watching, Calderon dribbled across from Bathir and looked at Bathir. Calderon passed the ball to Ate on the right side. At this moment, Zhang Weifeng was inside and Ate on the outside, so it was best to hand over the organization to Ate. In this game, Ate felt very good, but in the second half of the fourth quarter, Ate seemed to stop, and only took one shot and did not hit it. Adelman was worried that Ate would throw this ball, but when he looked at the other four players on the court, he still felt that the danger of handing over to Ate would be smaller to the Rockets.
Seeing Artei catch the ball, McGrady was stunned and then forced her to go up. McGrady's defense cannot be said to be very good, but when an All-Star player focuses on defense, their defense is indeed very oppressive. Artei transported the ball a few times, but McGrady did not go to dig it. It was very risky to dig the ball, especially at this critical moment, McGrady was not sure of course he wouldn't do it.
Atai took two steps and felt McGrady's caution. The opponent was prepared again at this time, and his attacking opportunity was not good. So he transferred the ball to Zhang Weifeng who came to pick up the ball.
"This guy is going to shoot another three-pointer?" A huge wave broke out in Adelman's heart. Zhang Weifeng appeared at the top of the three-point arc, and Zhang Weifeng immediately made a shooting move after receiving the ball.
When McGrady saw Zhang Weifeng's posture, his eyes were round and round. He was a little unbelievable. He was a little surprised by the rookie's behavior. He was too bold. As an inside player, where did he get the courage and confidence to make two three-point shots at the most critical moment of a game?! He couldn't help but question himself, is there too many great people in this world, or is he a little out?
The fans covered their mouths one by one and stopped waving the things in their hands. They were all watching the last scene. The time on the timer had reached 3.3 seconds. Is Zhang Weifeng's shooting rhythm? Although Zhang Weifeng made a three-pointer that was almost life-saving ball before, he still dared to shoot the final shot at the last moment of the game. Isn't this a bit arrogant?
"Don't think about it!" Zhang Weifeng took the ball, raised his hand, and his voice followed. Hayes rushed over with a fierce look on his face. He was unable to accept that he had made another mistake. If the person he defended again scored a final goal, then he would really be unable to forgive himself.
Looking at Hayes who reacted so much and looking at the Rockets staring at the other four people in a daze, Zhang Weifeng smiled, and there was a feeling of a trick succeeding in his smile.
"Look, it's Jose! He received the ball~" I don't know who shouted, and it exploded on and off the court, and a buzzing sound seemed to break the roof of the Aco Stadium!
The Rockets' five players were attracted by Zhang Weifeng. They did not see Calderon running. Calderon and Alstom were originally at the bottom three-pointer, but when Alstom turned his head to look at Zhang Weifeng, Calderon moved two steps and reached the 45-degree three-pointer position. At the same time, Zhang Weifeng's pass also came to the front.
Amid the explosion of tens of thousands of people, Calderon jumped up gently and cleared the basketball out.
The basketball was spinning in the air. Zhang Weifeng was preparing to rush into the inside, but when he saw the rotational trajectory, he knew that Calderon's shot was going to make! This is probably the most wonderful winning goal in his NBA career!
The basketball passed through the ring, and all that was left in the Akka Arena was excited! The fans were happy. The magical reversal of 19 and 4 seconds happened in the Akka Arena. It has to be said that this was an extremely exciting game. They forgot the previous conflict for the time being. The whistle sounded in the final game, and the fans and the players were only left to celebrate. The expressionless Adelman led a group of frustrated players to the player channel.
Over the basketball court, Calderon's final shot was constantly played on the big screen. Zhang Weifeng received the ball in 3.3 seconds and then handed it to Calderon. When Calderon shot, there was only 1 second left. When the basketball left, 0.8 seconds was clearly displayed on the timer. When the basketball passed the basketball, it was only 0.3 seconds left for the Rockets. This was undoubtedly a perfect final shot. From 4 points behind to the final shot at the last moment, it was really done by the new Kings team in this home game. (This site (.) Your support is my greatest motivation.)
