legendary point guard

"They definitely didn't want us to score three points, so we took a gamble and insisted on two points if there was no chance. First two points, then we considered three points, and finally we pressed like crazy. If it didn't work, we immediately fouled on the spot.

There is not much time left for us, we have no chance to serve from the front court." Stan Van Gundy said with a stern face, and the previous efforts will be revealed in the next round.

"29 seconds is not the ultimate, but there is no opportunity to serve from the frontcourt, which may be the most fatal for Orlando.

Los Angeles doesn't have to think twice to know how they will deal with Orlando's offense, and they will not easily let Orlando choose a three-pointer.

In addition, allowing them to score two points will not allow Orlando to score three points, but 29 seconds is still plenty of time. Once Orlando scores this goal, even if it is only two points, it will test Los Angeles' free throws." Steve Coe

Er said looking at the Orlando bench.

Across the technical table, on the sidelines of the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson did not hold a tactical board but stood directly among the players and emphasized loudly: "Three-pointers, we must not let them score three-pointers, the focus is on Wood Lin and Chauncey.

Billups.

Don't make a move, even if you let them score a goal, don't make a move. Once you get a rebound or they score a goal, call a timeout immediately."

"Phil's voice is really loud, and you can definitely see Los Angeles' desire for this game."

"Mark, that's for sure. The Los Angeles people persisted for 47 and a half minutes. No one wants to let the victory slip away before the final victory comes." With Steve Kerr's words, the referee blew his whistle.

.

NBA President David Stern, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, looked at the field with a smile. He very much hoped that this finals would play seven games. It would be best if every game would be like this game.

The ratings of the first game have already broken the historical record of ratings for the North American NBA Finals. This was something he did not expect at all.

And overseas, the first game of this year's finals also received amazing ratings. David Stern can imagine how much attention this kind of influence will bring to the NBA. In a few years, the NBA will sign live broadcast agreements with several TV stations.

If every year there is more than half the attention of this year, he can imagine how big a broadcast contract it will be.

"Dwight, you and Ron go inside, Darko, you serve, and I'll give it to Chauncey when I don't have a chance. Don't rush whoever gets the ball. Leave it to me, I'll handle it.

If the first plan doesn't work, then go to the second plan, and if it doesn't work, go to the third plan. Everyone concentrates and must not make mistakes. We will win the game, believe me!" Lin Sen grabbed everyone on the sidelines and explained again.

Miranda Kerr looked at Lin Sen on the court and stood up suddenly: "Orlando will win!"

He suddenly stood up and shouted loudly to the court. This shocked several people around him, but Miranda Kerr seemed not to be affected at all. She continued to shout: "Orlando must win!"

"Miranda is really..." Before Steve Kerr could finish his words, the entire water house center was filled with cheers for Orlando to win.

Regardless of whether they had confidence in the competition before or not, they couldn’t help but join in.

Slowly gathered into a uniform voice, as if a powerful force was injected into the hearts of everyone in magic.

Milicic, who was standing on the sidelines preparing to serve, took the ball handed over by the referee, and the sound at the scene stopped.

Kobe stayed close to Lin Sen. He knew the importance of this shot and he would never let Lin Sen perform the super long three-point play not long ago again.

Milicic raised the ball high, and the referee Javi indicated the five-second serving time.

Pau Gasol stood in front of Milicic, waving his hands and trying his best to block Milicic's serving space.

Lin Sen ran back, but Kobe was still following closely, and Pietrus, Odom and Kobe formed a circle, surrounding Lin Sen and Billups.

"Orlando can't find a good chance to catch the ball, Orlando has no chance to time out!" Mark Jackson shouted loudly. If Milicic cannot serve the ball, then the five-second violation will completely ruin the Magic's hope of victory. The entire Water House Center

The atmosphere seemed to have solidified.

As the time approached five seconds, Lin Sen raised his left index finger while running. Milicic immediately understood Lin Sen's thoughts.

Howard on the inside ran directly to the baseline, and Artest also started.

Milicic threw the ball towards Linsen with both hands. Pau Gasol immediately moved to the left. At this time, Milicic immediately threw the ball inside.

boom!

Radmanovic, who was following Artest, was blocked by Howard. Although he could not completely block it, it delayed Radmanovic's pursuit.

"Darko passed the ball to Ron. It looks like this is an opportunity! Ron will take the last shot?" Steve Kerr said with doubts.

Radmanovic pounced on Artest crazily, but Kobe did not relax his vigilance against Linsen because of Artest's catch.

After serving the ball, Milicic immediately walked into the court, while Billups ran to Kobe's side.

"Ron didn't shoot by himself. Radmanovic's height advantage was too great, and Ron was not a quick shooter like Wood. He lost his best opportunity!" Steve Kerr said.

Time passed quickly, and Artest was not in a hurry. He watched Radmanovic rush towards him and took the ball with both hands and made a shooting motion.

Radmanovic jumped up immediately when he saw Artest's action, and Artest immediately collected the ball and passed through Radmanovic.

"Don't make up defense easily!" Phil Jackson shouted to the court from the sidelines.

At this moment, Pau Gasol had already shrunk to the inside. Artest's speed was not fast, which prevented him from facing the basket directly when Pau Gasol shrank to the inside.

According to the arrangement just now, if you can score two points quickly, then don't be polite.

But at this moment, Pau Gasol's defense was too fast. At this moment, Milicic, who was serving out of bounds, ran towards the three-point line.

Billups just used Milicic's body to temporarily get rid of Pietrus, and the ball in Artest's hand flew into Billups' hands like a cannonball.

"Opportunity, absolute opportunity. Everyone thought that Wood would take the key shot. This time Chauncey became the protagonist. mr...shot!" Mark Jackson shouted loudly.

All of a sudden, the memories of the fans in front of the TV seemed to be pulled back to Billups' time in the Detroit Pistons. Billups was a key man who was always underestimated despite not being very tall and not physically strong enough.

Kobe also didn't expect that Lin Sen did not take the final attack but handed it to Billups. At this moment, Billups looked at the basket and shot the ball.

Lin Sen took advantage of Kobe's distraction, ran to the left, then changed direction to the right and killed Kobe directly.

"Chauncy's opportunity, the ball flew towards the basket, and there was a crowd under the basket!" Mark Jackson stared closely at the ball flying towards the basket.

This season, Billups left Detroit, which brought him glory and rebirth, with a five-year, $60 million contract, and came to Orlando. Although he left openly, he still felt guilty in front of Pistons fans.

He had considered his status before coming to the Magic, but with the Magic he no longer had the status he had with the Pistons. Although his tactical importance is still high, he is only the second most important figure in the team.

The ball rights are also more in Linsen's hands, and he also gave up a lot of things in the Magic.

The data has declined compared with last season. After playing 82 games in the regular season, he averaged 16.5 points per game, a new low in recent years. However, the number of assists did not decrease due to the decrease in holding the ball, and he averaged 6.9 assists per game.

However, he will always be the second choice in the team's critical moments, and tonight is particularly crucial for Orlando's shot.

Watching the ball flying towards the basket, Billups was full of confidence.

Phil Jackson was very upset. Pau Gasol's early departure gave the Magic a chance.

Lin Sen looked at the arc of the ball and estimated which side it might bounce to if it didn't go in.

Then Lin Sen soon breathed a sigh of relief. Under Lin Sen's gaze and the reluctant eyes of the Lakers, the ball plunged into the basket.

"Chauncy, Chauncey.mr...shot! Chauncey saved Orlando, this time it wasn't Wood, this time it was Chauncey! Los Angeles' entire effort was equalized!" Mark Jackson shouted.

The moment the ball went into the basket, the TV and the small number of Lakers fans at the scene were all muted.

They were in the lead but were equalized at the last moment, and it was a matter of suspense when they saw what they got.

Steve Kerr looked at Billups who was excitedly celebrating with his teammates and said with a smile: "Even if there are 18 seconds left for Los Angeles, 18 seconds does not put a lot of pressure on them. At least they are guaranteed not to score at this moment."

The ball can also get a tie into overtime.

But overtime is not the best option for Los Angeles, as their lineup is too weak compared to Orlando!"

"Chauncy, you did it, well done!" Lin Sen ran towards Billups.

Billups clenched his fist fiercely, and Artest also ran towards Billups.

These two former participants in the Palace of Auburn Hills have long forgotten the past at this moment: "I love you, I love you! This is my assist! Mine!"

Stan Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief. His first choice was not a three-pointer. Even he hoped it would be Lin Sen. However, he emphasized that if there is a particularly good three-point opportunity, he should not miss it.

The moment Billups took the shot, he was also worried, but at this moment Van Gundy was so excited that he turned around and bumped fists with his brother Jeff Van Gundy.

Compared with the cheers in Orlando, the Lakers, who are still holding a tie at this moment, feel like a loser.

Kobe turned his head and glanced at the Magic bench before walking to the sidelines: "The game is not over yet."

It was a cold sentence and no more words were said.

"No one could have imagined that Wood, who was the core of the team in such a crucial offense, did not even touch the ball once.

But even if Wood didn't touch the ball, he was still the hero of this offense. He put too much pressure on the Lakers.

In 18 seconds, Los Angeles has enough time to complete the last attack, which is also the most critical attack. If it does not score, the game is likely to enter overtime."

"Yes, I estimate that Los Angeles will control the time and will not leave Orlando too much time." Mark Jackson nodded and said.

"Yes, as long as it is not three seconds away, Orlando will basically have no chance. They have no chance to serve from the frontcourt." Steve Kerr continued.

The coaches on both sides quickly arranged the situation. For the Magic, this defense became particularly important.

It is not very likely that Kobe will not be able to catch the ball if he wants to control it. Kobe is most likely to complete the last attack, and the other is Fisher.

And Pau Gasol cannot be ignored. Just a moment ago, Pau Gasol hit a key goal to help the Lakers turn the score into 113:110.

"Defend, don't foul easily! Remember, don't foul easily!" Stan Van Gundy emphasized at the end.

The joy of just scoring the equalizer was diluted a lot at this moment, everyone was waiting for the last moment.

For Magic fans, preventing this goal and entering overtime is the best option.

Lin Sen is also ready to play overtime. At this moment, his physical fitness is enough to finish the overtime. On the contrary, the Lakers players may have physical problems.

Pau Gasol, who was standing on the sidelines, passed the ball to Odom. Odom and Kobe made a mistake and passed the ball.

When Kobe received the ball, Artest immediately appeared in front of Kobe.

As everyone expected, Kobe didn't rush to attack.

Holding the ball at his waist with both hands, he waited for time. Seeing that the time was about to enter the last ten seconds and that he was still three steps away from the three-point line, Kobe shook his arm.

Artest, who stretched out his hand, immediately retracted his hands to avoid being tricked into fouling by Kobe.

With continuous crotch movements and forward body weight, Kobe plunged his head directly into Artest's arms, which made Artest's defense somewhat frustrated.

At this moment, Pau Gasol stepped up to cover. Radmanovic also provided a screen for Fisher.

Lin Sen did not leave Fischer too far, bypassing Radmanovic and catching up.

But Kobe, uncharacteristically, changed direction from the other side and accelerated away without using a screen. Artest was also stunned for a moment.

He wanted to get out of the way of Pau Gasol, but Kobe left from the other side.

"Bryant, Bryant, Bryant found his chance!" Steve Kerr shouted.

It was too late for Lin Sen to pounce, and Kobe took one step inside the three-point line and threw the ball against Artest who was pounced again.

"Don't go in, don't go in!" Countless Magic fans shouted in their hearts.

When the ball went through the basket, all Magic fans were half-hearted.

"Unexpectedly, Bryant, Bryant's crucial and fatal mid-range shot! 115:113, Los Angeles, 0.9 seconds left!" Mark Jackson shouted.

"Darko!"

Lin Sen's voice penetrated into the basket, and Lin Sen, who was originally guarding Fisher, ran crazily towards the frontcourt.

"Defend, defend!" Phil Jackson shouted.

Milicic reacted immediately, watched the ball pass through the net, held the ball with both hands, and threw the ball like a shot put before Odom could react.

"Wood, unguarded, 0.9 seconds left!

God, everyone in Los Angeles ignored Wood! The ball flew toward the frontcourt like a cannonball, Wood's chance, Orlando's last chance!" Steve Kerr just reacted and immediately shouted loudly.

The fans in front of the TV had no idea what was happening. One second the camera was focused on Kobe Bryant who had completed a near-win, and the next second Lin Sen appeared on the camera.

0.9 seconds, such a short time hardly gave Lin Sen much reaction.

Although Milicic's pass was powerful, it was not too powerful. He was also worried that Lin Sen would not be able to catch the ball and fly directly out of the baseline.

Lin Sen was completely unguarded, watching the ball flying over and calculating where it would land. This was the Magic's last chance.

Whether you want to go to overtime or lose directly at home, just look at 0.9 seconds.

The on-site technical desk personnel stared at the screen, waiting for the ball to come to Lin Sen's hand and the watch to start running.

In 0.9 seconds, Lin Sen could only catch the ball and take action, without any time to adjust.

"The ball has fallen, and Wood is some distance away from the basket! How does Wood choose!" Mark Jackson shouted.

Everyone was looking at Lin Sen, and everyone on the Lakers ran frantically toward the backcourt.

If Lin Sen waits for the ball to hit the basket and send it into the basket with 100% certainty, then the Lakers players have already come up and Lin Sen needs to make a decision.

Looking at the falling ball, Lin Sen made a decision.

The ball landed just left of the three-point line, and Lin Sen turned around to meet the falling ball.

The timer above the backboard immediately moved crazily, 0.9 seconds before it was about to reach the bright red 0.

Miranda Kerr's heart was twitching. He hoped that Lin Sen could perform a miracle.

"You must enter! A miracle will definitely come!"

"Wood, Wood!"

"If you can't get in, you won't get in!"

Everyone watching this game turned their attention to Lin Sen, ugh!

There was a rapid friction sound, Lin Sen used his left foot as a pivot, and while catching the ball, he turned around and then jumped up.

0.9 seconds didn't give Lin Sen much time to think, he could only choose to take action as soon as possible.

Even if it was 0.01 second late, it would not work. The ball was almost thrown out before the hand was raised to the familiar shooting position.

"An unconventional half-turn three-point shot, Wood's last choice!" The red light in the audience lit up the moment Lin Sen made the shot.

The ball also flew away from Lin Sen's hand, seemingly at the same moment.

Linsen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the ball flying towards the basket, and flew towards the bright red rebounding balls around him.

"Almost at the same time, the referee will definitely need to use super slow replay." In Mark Jackson's words, the ball went into the basket, and the entire water house center roared crazily.

Javi immediately ran to the technical table and put on his headphones, while the other two assistant referees stood aside.

Live TV cameras replayed Lin Sen's shot, and the red light came on almost the moment the ball left his hand.

"The 10-fold slowdown is obviously not enough to judge whether Wood's shot timed out. The Lakers players signaled that Wood's goal had timed out and the goal was invalid.

But what I want to say is that they were too careless to give Wood this opportunity." Steve Kerr said.

Lin Sen was also waiting, looking at the big screen above the arena like everyone else.

A 1000x slowdown appeared on the screen. When the ball left the hand, there was almost less than a centimeter of space, and the timer still had 0.003 seconds left.

Then multi-angle replays showed that the time did not expire when the ball left Lin Sen's hand.

"yes!"

Lin Sen clenched his fist fiercely and lay directly on the floor!

"Wood, Wood, Wood! Wood did it. In 0.9 seconds, Orlando beat Los Angeles!

Los Angeles paid the price for their carelessness. They wasted Bryant's buzzer-beater. This was Orlando's moment.

Orlando will bring this 2:0 to Los Angeles, where Los Angeles faces its most dangerous moment!"

"Wood, God is wearing No. 1 at home in Orlando tonight! Wood, Wood is God!" Steve Kerr shouted.

Miranda Kerr, who was on the sidelines, jumped up excitedly, walked directly from the audience to the court, and pounced directly on Lin Sen.

The reporters in the media area excitedly raised their cameras, but Miranda Kerr stopped abruptly and stood in front of Lin Sen.

Lindsay Lohan and others walked onto the field with their children in their arms, and Lin Sen took Annie over surrounded by teammates and screaming.

Not caring that she was already dripping with sweat, she kissed Annie hard twice.

Annie waved her little hands and grinned. (To be continued...)
