Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

At this point, there are 29 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Cavaliers have the ball and lead by 1 point. The chances of winning are greater than the Hornets. The bishops of both sides are almost roaring, arranging tactics in their respective rest areas.

...

The situation is clear.

From the point of view of the Cavaliers, with a lead of 1 point and the possession of the ball, all they have to do is... procrastinate as much as possible, and delay the offensive time to 24 seconds, so as to compress the offensive time of the Hornets in the second round.

You must know that there are only 29 seconds left in the game, and if the Cavaliers' offense can be perfectly delayed to 20 seconds or more, then the Hornets' offensive time will definitely be compressed to less than 10 seconds.

If you really follow the rhythm expected by the Cavaliers, you can imagine how much pressure the Hornets will face.

Want to play steadily, but time does not allow.

Want to attack quickly, but the Cavaliers' final defense is bound to not easily give a chance.

After all, the Cavaliers still have a 1-point lead. Even if they don't score in the last round and turn to stabilize the defense to prevent the Hornets from entering, then the game will be won.

...

So, from the perspective of the Hornets... If they don't want to lose, they must score no matter what!

If the Cavaliers don't make it, they can score a lore with 2 points.

But if the Cavaliers score, the situation for the Hornets is too serious...

If the Cavaliers score 2 points, they must play 3 points; if the Cavaliers score 3 points, they must play 3+1, and this is just to drag the game into overtime.

...

29 seconds of life and death!

The Hornets are at a disadvantage!

"Cheer up, listen... winning or losing is in the last 29 seconds!" In the Hornets' rest area, head coach Alan almost roared at everyone.

"Remember, don't let them delay the time. There is not much time left. If the Cavaliers' 24 seconds are delayed to 15 seconds, then send them to the free throw line for me. We must ensure that we have enough for the last round." attack time!"

All the generals of the Hornets naturally understood and nodded in unison.

For now……

Among the Cavaliers' main players, small forward Gerald Wilkins and shooting guard Mike Saunders, the two of them are not high in free throw percentage per game. In this game... the former is 2 of 4, and the latter is 2. In 1, you can send them to the free throw line.

And center Doherty and power forward Nance have a very high free throw percentage. In this game, they all made 100% of the free throws. Doherty made 6 of 6 free throws, and Nance made 4 of 4 free throws. Not an appropriate foul.

"I want to emphasize defense again. If the Cavaliers score, then our last round, the best result is just overtime, so... defense, I want to see all of you defend, must, must not Leaking defense can allow them to break through, but you must not let them shoot, especially the terrible 3-pointer! Li, the defense inside is up to you!" Alan stared at Li Shengli with the last sentence and said.

"No problem, leave the inside to me!" Li Shengli nodded to Alan.

"Very good! And offensively, Johnson, listen to me, I don't care what you want to do, but now it's a game, you'd better weigh it yourself, and if the opportunity is right, I hope you... to execute the final Attack!" Alan said with a stern face.

Let Jill shoot a few shots from outside, which is too much hit rate. Only a stable inside offense is the best choice for the Hornets at present. In Alan's view... Although Li Shengli suppressed Doherty, he is still a rookie after all, and his mentality at critical moments will be a big problem. Obviously, Larry Johnson is more suitable for executing the lore.

"OK, success or failure depends on one action, let's go!"

"This game must be won!"

"Shit, fuck them!"

"Come on, everyone!"

The generals of the Hornets put their hands together and yelled the vulgar slogan "the Hornets must win", and then re-boarded the final battlefield.

...

Finally, amid the high-pitched shouts of the fans, the Cavaliers launched their last charge.

As expected by the Hornets, point guard Mark Price dribbled the ball and wandered outside. Transferred the ball to another teammate.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and there were still 15 seconds before the end of the game, but the Cavaliers still did not choose to make a shot.

"Quick, stare at them!" Jill roared to remind his teammates.

"F**k, there's no time, we can't wait anymore!" Curry glanced at the bright red timer and roared, rushing to Mark Price who was holding the ball, trying to send him up Cross the free throw line and fight for the last time.

The Cavaliers were very clear about Curry's intentions, and at this moment, all members of the Cavaliers moved quickly. Nance threw off Johnson and rushed to the penalty area to block Li Shengli. the pass.

It's Doherty!

Doherty wants to shoot!

Seeing Doherty catching the ball, the scene was quiet, and all Cavaliers fans held their breath.

Johnson's position is far from being defensive. Although Jill is close, he can't effectively interfere with Doherty due to his height. The only one who can follow Doherty is Li Shengli, but...the two Nance, who still has a knight in the middle, stands in the way.

"Shit, how could this happen!"

"It's over, it's over..."

"Going to score?"

Doherty's signature is the mid-range shot, and now it is almost an air defense situation, which makes the Hornets almost desperate, and the bishop Alan on the sidelines beats his chest and feet, and curses at the sky...

If the Cavaliers score this goal, the point difference will reach 3 points, and the Hornets must return a 3 point in the last round to drag the game into overtime.

But in fact... In this era, everyone prefers to see big muscular guys colliding inside, and 3-pointers are generally not taken seriously, and the shooting rate is low. Take this game as an example, the Hornets made 3-pointers. 1 for 5 and 1 for 9 for the Cavaliers, which shows the difficulty of a 3-point tie, let alone a 3+1 lore.

...

"Go away!" The generals of the Hornets were desperate, but Li Shengli broke the silence of the scene with a loud shout.

First, Nance, with his arms outstretched, caught Li Shengli and escorted Doherty's mid-range shot, but after that loud shout... he felt as if he had appeared at the scene of a car accident and was severely beaten by a full-loaded heavy truck. hit it.

Then came Doherty, watching Nance being knocked away by Li Shengli like paper, and Li Shengli swooped in with a big stride, causing his heart to stop suddenly.

"He wants to cover me? No...impossible, he has no chance!"

Doherty finally took the shot, and the flying Li Shengli seemed to create a human barrier for the Hornets' restricted area...

To enter or not to enter?

At this moment, everyone held their breath and waited, but Li Shengli, who had already taken off, couldn't care less, raised his hand and slapped the flying ball.
