Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

The last 3 minutes.

There is no doubt that the Rockets will not let the 76ers take home victory easily.

The 5-point difference is not big, and there is plenty of time. It only takes two three-pointers to tie the lead.

McGrady's sleepy eyes revealed a murderous look, Yao Ming also remained silent, and a chilling atmosphere began to fill the Rockets.

It's the Rockets' turn to attack.

McGrady advanced with the ball, and Lian Feng's physical strength had reached its end. However, he did not show signs of weakness and instead used a seemingly more aggressive stance to defend.

Van Gundy designed a lot of pick-and-roll tactics for McGrady and Yao Ming.

When Lian Feng was close to Tracy McGrady at the top of the right arc, Yao Ming moved to the center area, while Sura took up a position at the top of the left arc.

3 on 3 offense and defense.

At this moment, Yao Ming suddenly ran back and jumped out of the pick-and-roll. Tracy McGrady moved to the left and directly hit Yao Ming while chasing.

Yao Ming's pick-and-roll quality is very high, and his base is extremely stable like a stone, making it impossible for Lian Feng to directly avoid it, and his movement is stagnant.

In terms of the ability to get out of the pick-and-roll defense, Lian Feng is not as good as Kobe.

McGrady took the opportunity to move to the top of the key.

Dalembert, who was guarding Yao Ming, naturally switched to guard McGrady.

In this chaotic moment, if you were an ordinary player, your first thought would be that McGrady missed and you have to chase him! But at this time, although his physical strength was weak, his mind was extremely clear, and Lian Feng instantly realized the Rockets' next move.

!

Lian Feng shouted: "Look out for Yao Ming!"

Dalembert was stunned.

Lian Feng chased after him and pushed Dalembert inside.

Although McGrady was already far away from the defender, he passed the ball to Sura at the top of the arc on the other side.

Then, Sura passed the ball directly inside.

Yao Ming has already begun to decline.

This is a classic corner tactic, and the effect is obvious when used by Yao Ming and McGrady. If the first pick-and-roll does not create a good opportunity, they can also let McGrady continue to run to the right to pick-and-roll for Sura, and then switch to McGrady to cut in.

Dalembert didn't understand the Rockets' routine. When he reacted, Yao Ming was already two positions ahead and reached the paint area to receive the ball.

Yao Ming only swatted the ball once and then turned around flexibly.

At this time, Yao Ming did not have any teammates around him, which is also a characteristic of the Rockets. In a lineup with him as the cornerstone of the team, he is often the only one inside to take on the offensive tasks.

At this time, the 76ers' substitute power forward Rogers became the team's last barrier with his weight of 122 kilograms.

Yao Ming moved to the low baseline, with his back to the basket, and placed the ball on his chest where his opponent couldn't see him. He swung his body from side to side to great extents, successfully confusing Rogers, and then turned toward the baseline.

Rogers was obviously one step behind.

Yao Ming raised his hands high, turned his steps slightly, and instantly transformed his body into the best posture for shooting.

After all, Rogers was only 201, a little shorter than Lian Feng. He tried his best to reach out, but couldn't touch Yao Ming's wrist.

Yao Ming leans back slightly and shoots!

From taking off to shooting, Yao Ming's upper body always remains straight.

Another one of his special skills: the turn-over jump shot.

"Whoa!"

The basketball hit the net.

The score came to 116 to 119, and the Rockets were only 3 points behind.

And there are still 2 minutes and 40 seconds left!

Cheeks crossed his arms, expressionless.

This goal boosted morale very much. On the contrary, the 76ers were obviously a little anxious.

Iverson began to hold the ball, give instructions loudly, and organize the players to get into position.

After some tossing, Iverson came to the top of the arc, and Rogers came out to pick and roll, but unfortunately the quality was not high. Sura followed and struggled to pass.

Iverson has accelerated, passed the ball, and positioned himself, and others have come to the baseline, his favorite angle of attack.

The ball was passed back.

Lian Feng watched from a distance.

Iverson dribbled the ball for a layup near the baseline. Yao Ming was adjusting his body shape, preparing to defend, and had already raised his hands.

The distance between the two sides is close.

Yao Ming took the initiative to close the distance between the two sides, leaving Iverson with no further action options to choose from.

Subsequently, Yao Ming lowered his waist, bent his knees, spread his legs, and took a long stride, which further weakened Iverson's field of vision: and Iverson's field of vision was not good enough.

At this time, Iverson was completely unable to make a balanced and powerful shooting posture.

But despite this, Iverson still took off tenaciously.

Yao Ming did not try to block the shot immediately.

As a result, Iverson became very uncomfortable. It was difficult for him to score the ball from this angle, but it could not cause Yao Ming to foul. He could only lean back as much as possible under Yao Ming's restrictions. Even with top flexibility, his body was completely in the air.

Lost balance.

Finally, at the last moment, Iverson chose to take action.

When the shot was finally released, Yao Ming chose the right moment and slapped the ball away.

Iverson was completely defeated and lost his balance and fell to the ground.

In contrast, Yao Ming is still standing steadily.

The ball was knocked out of the penalty area and fell into McGrady's hands. He quickly exploded the ball and ran towards the frontcourt with his long legs.

Lian Feng immediately chased after him.

During a fast break, the defender's movement was bound to be at a disadvantage. Despite this, Lian Fu still tenaciously followed McGrady's footsteps to the basket.

McGrady blasted the ball on the left, made a big jump, straightened his arms, and pulled the ball to the right.

Lian Feng felt that his physical strength had reached the limit, but his mind became unusually clear. He took a step to the right, raised his hands at the same time, and successfully blocked McGrady.

Maddie shook.

At this moment, few people would not hesitate, but Lian Feng saw through McGrady's shooting percentage and remained unmoved. Instead, he stuck to him even more fiercely.

McGrady felt very uncomfortable, but fortunately he remained calm at this time. When he turned around, he saw his teammates coming.

McGrady passed the ball back to the top of the key.

There is Yao Ming who just arrived.

Yao Ming received the ball, and Iverson suddenly came out from behind and tried to steal the ball.

Yao Ming, as if he had eyes behind him, suddenly raised the ball high and avoided Iverson's gambling interception.

At this time, Yao Ming looked left and right and found that none of his teammates were in position, and he was standing alone at the top of the arc with no one to defend him.

Then, Yao Ming looked at the basket and raised the ball.

With everyone watching, Yao Ming moved his wrist.

The ball drew an arc and hit the net!

Score, 119 to 119!

As the numbers on the scoreboard jumped, and after a brief silence, the audience burst into loud cheers.

With one and a half minutes left on the clock, the score was tied.

This time, the 76ers were obviously more anxious.

In the next offensive round, under the iron wall with Yao Ming as the core of defense, the Rockets passed the ball from the outside for a while, but never found a chance.

Lian Feng tried to cut in several times, but failed to break away from McGrady.

His physical exertion was too great, but McGrady, who was facing him, was able to move better because he got enough rest time.

Finally, Iverson made a reluctant shot from mid-range and missed.

The 76ers once again lost the opportunity to take the lead.

Now, all attention is focused on Team Rocket.

There is 1 minute and 10 seconds left.

In this round, McGrady held the ball and moved to the three-point line. Faced with Lian Feng's defense, he jumped directly.

When taking off the ball, McGrady's shooting percentage is 81%.

Lian Feng knew that if McGrady was allowed to shoot, the three-pointer would definitely go in.

So he tried his best to jump up.

Lian Feng could not interfere with McGrady at first, but maybe it was because McGrady on both sides was a little tired at the last moment, so he subconsciously adjusted his gestures slightly in the air.

At this moment, Lian Feng saw McGrady's shooting percentage plummet to 37%!

Sure enough, the basketball missed.

Before Lien, who successfully defended the ball, had time to get excited, the ball was snatched away by Swift of the Rockets.

There are only 53 seconds left.

At this moment, Alston moved quickly, completely throwing away Iverson, received the pass at the baseline, and jumped high to shoot.

"Whoa!"

The basketball hit the net.

The score is 122 to 119!

The Rockets come back.

There are 41 seconds left!

Suddenly, most of the 76ers players looked annoyed.

Cheeks made a pause gesture.

…

Lian Feng returned to the bench in silence.

Iverson was still encouraging everyone, but a discordant voice muttered.

"You lost the ball at a critical moment. I mean, why not pass the ball to Iguodala or the forward who is obviously open?"

This sentence immediately made Iverson's face darken, and he stared at him. The excitement of his status being challenged made him immediately angry, and he threw a towel away.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

The speaker was a bench player who bounced back and forth between the G League and the NBA.

Lian Feng was very surprised.

He knew that in Iverson's last season with the 76ers, the atmosphere in the locker room was actually very disharmonious. There were several times when substitute players were dissatisfied with the main players occupying a large number of players on the court to score points, but the team was unable to win, which resulted in conflicts.

.

But Lian Feng thought that history should have undergone some changes, but he did not expect that there were many trends that he could not change, and the seeds of many things had been planted long ago without him noticing.

Maybe that role player, whose name he couldn't even name, had put in countless efforts just to play and score a point or two, but was rejected time and time again, so he had accumulated resentment for a long time.

This time it's just an introduction.

But what Iverson cares about is that his status is being challenged.

Although the impulse has long since faded, Iverson was like an angry young man at this moment, unable to let go.

Fortunately, at this moment, Cheeks, the former star of the 76ers who is not usually harsh, said angrily: "Calm down! Don't forget what we are doing!"

Next, he quickly laid out the tactics: "Allen, you come to execute the final three-point attack. Remember, once you miss, execute the foul tactics immediately! We will never give up until the last moment!"

Lian Feng was a little disappointed. At this time, Cheeks still chose to let Iverson perform the final attack.

Such is the status of the team boss!

But he quickly adjusted his mentality.

You must know that the killing moment skill only takes effect in the last 10 seconds.

After a short pause, players from both sides returned to the court again.

Lian Feng subconsciously moved his eyes to the sidelines. On the seat behind the bench, Alison kept looking at him.

The two people's eyes made contact again, Alison's eyes were focused, as if she was cheering Lian Feng up.

Lian Feng smiled confidently at her, and at the same time pointed two fingers at his own eyes, and then at the other party.

When you feel like it, just follow me!

The atmosphere became tense.

Dalembert served from the outside, Lian Feng and Iguodala both moved to confuse the Rockets defense, and Iverson passed through the crowd and successfully received the ball.

He immediately suppressed the rhythm.

Lian Feng and Iguodala worked hard to move on the court, constantly pulling on the Rockets' defense.

At this time, Dalembert came out to provide support, and Iverson handed the ball to Dalembert.

At this time, it can be seen that there is a huge gap between Dalembert and Webber in terms of coping ability.

Iverson had successfully attracted the defender's attention and even allowed Dalembert to have enough space to attack the basket, but he chose to pass the ball back.

Iverson continued to move, made a thrilling catch, and then took a step back to outside the three-point line.

Take off and take action!

Sura, who was chasing after him, jumped up high, but still failed to score the ball.

Everyone watched the ball fly out.

Only Lian Feng quickly moved to a corner where no one was paying attention...

The basketball hit the edge of the basket and flew out.

The home fans cheered!

But time is not over yet.

25 seconds!

24 seconds!

The clock suddenly stopped!

It turned out that the rebound had just been caught by Yao Ming, and Lian Feng suddenly came out from the side and gave him a bear hug.

The referee decisively called Lian Feng a foul.

Yao Ming smiled helplessly and slapped Lian Feng on the head.

The Rockets have no timeouts at this time.

Yao Ming was sent to the free throw line.

Although this is not a good choice, it is the 76ers' last choice.

Yao Ming steps to the free throw line.

Two hits.

The score was 124 to 119.

The 76ers have no more timeouts.

Dalembert once again served to Iverson. This time Iverson was directly double-teamed. He decisively passed the ball to the forward.

Now the Rockets have made it clear that they defend 3 and not 2, and they focus on the outside.

Lian Feng was calm and collected. He first raised the ball and made a fake pass to Iguodala, which attracted the attention of at least two people. Then he suddenly made a powerful pass and the basketball flew from the crowd to the baseline.

Iverson has moved there.

This pass instantly ignited Iverson's touch, which had been cold for a while. He jumped up and shot in a very coordinated manner.

The parabola is extremely high and flies into the basket!

124 to 122!

Amid the boos from the home fans, Iverson gritted his teeth and vented his anger!

The commentator said excitedly: "It's incredible. Tonight's game really made my blood boil! Dramatic things happen again and again! Iverson scored with consecutive assists. Do they still have a chance to beat the Rockets?"

"It's difficult! The chance may be slim, but we see that the 76ers have not given up!"

There are 14 seconds left!

The Rockets served again, but they had no chance to stall for time. Both Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady were tightly double-teamed. As soon as the ball was released, they were fouled again.

13 seconds!

It was Sulla who got to the free throw line.

This time, Sura also made the free throw steadily.

126 to 122!

The atmosphere was on the verge of explosion. When the 76ers served again, the home fans used all means to interfere.

Dalembert withstood the pressure and threw the ball high. Lien Feng jumped up in the crowd and caught the ball.

Then, he saw his teammates' movements clearly for the first time, suddenly jumped over McGrady with a hip step, and then used Dalembert's pick-and-roll to reach the open space on the wing.

Take off!

Shooting?

No!

The forward passed the ball out, and he saw Iguodala in an excellent position to cut through the air.

Iguodala knew that the forward would definitely pass the ball over, but when he received the ball, he was still extremely excited, and then he stood up against Swift's defense!

The two collided in the air, the whistle sounded, and Iguodala got a free throw opportunity.

But Iguodala kept his eyes on the basket.

The basketball bounced twice on the rim and went in steadily.

Suddenly, Iguodala clenched his fists and shouted to the sky!

During the subsequent free throws, an uncle's fan at home even took off his shirt and danced in front of Iguodala, hoping to interfere.

But Iguodala remained unmoved and made steady free throws.

"It's incredible! The forward successfully assisted Iguodala to score 3 points again! I bet that if the 76ers can really succeed in a comeback tonight, this will be the most glorious game of the season! It will be

Be recorded in history!"

At this time, everyone on the Rockets was silent, and the pressure was on their side again.

126 to 125!

The 76ers can continue to use foul tactics.

The point is, they didn't pause anymore.

Van Gundy looked at the players on the court with an ugly expression.

Yao Ming serves.

In this tense moment, any small mistake will make all efforts in vain, and the fans will not dare to speak louder.

The players used their last remaining energy to fight for favorable positions, run and chase, pick and roll and break free!

When fighting for position, Iguodala showed enough toughness to fight McGrady's body without fear.

Yao Ming raised the ball above his head with both hands and threw it.

It was Sura who ran out of space!

There are 6 seconds left!

At this time, as long as they control the ball, they will be sure of victory.

But, but!

It’s Lian Feng again!

Just when everyone was nervous and excited, Lian Feng became more calm and sober. He had been observing the Rockets' movement just now. Almost at the moment when Sura successfully ran away, Lian Feng had already predicted that the ball would be passed.

Give it to him.

Therefore, Lian Feng was well prepared and reached Sula's side and rear in two strides.

At this time, Sura was caught in the double-team of Iverson and Lian Feng!

Sulla made a huge mistake in his panic. He only noticed Iverson and not Lian Feng!

Lien Feng was like a poisonous snake, hitting Sulla's ball from behind with precision and ruthlessness.

The basketball bounced out.

Suddenly, the whole audience exclaimed!

Lian Feng has forgotten everything, only the basketball is left in his eyes.

He rushed out, one step, two steps, and then successfully controlled the ball!

Then, sprint with all your remaining strength!

4 seconds.

3 seconds.

It only took Lian Feng two seconds to rush to a position one step beyond the three-point line in the frontcourt.

The Rockets' recent players also need two or three positions to interfere with the forward.

All eyes were focused on him.

The 76ers and Rockets players in the distance stopped.

Alison Stocker covered her mouth tightly and widened her eyes.

The commentators didn’t even dare to speak.

2 seconds.

Lian Feng leaped high.

1 second!

Although there is still one step away from the three-point line, with the power of sprinting, Lian Feng pulls his whole body upward, and then uses a very standard two-stage shooting posture to release the ball at the highest point.

After that, he landed lightly.

At this time, the basketball is still flying in the air.

The red light on the edge of the backboard has turned on.

However, Lian Feng turned his back to the basket, showed a confident smile, and raised his fist high.

This is a celebration gesture that Lian Feng came up with on the spur of the moment.

At that location, a reporter happened to pick up the camera, snap it twice, and record the moment.

The falling ball, the basket, that confident figure, the perfect three points and one line!
