One Guard

Chapter 241: The Last Dance

When you can afford to lose all the time, that's when you dominate the game. Michael Jordan.

On April 24, 2011, at the Rose Garden Stadium, the fourth game between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks will start in fifteen minutes.

Today, Trail Blazers fans are very excited. They turned the entire rose garden into a huge melting pot. The fiery atmosphere swept through the entire City of Roses before the game started.

Before the game started, the fans would always boo and boo from time to time. Because on the basketball court, the Chinese guard who was wearing the Mavericks training uniform and was shooting and warming up, missed frequently.

Every time Yiyang strikes the iron, the Trail Blazers fans boo him. Carlisle was a little worried, he didn't know if Yiyang could adjust himself. But seeing Yiyang's resolute expression, Carlisle still chose to trust.

Fifteen minutes later, the game officially started. Yiyang, the best sixth man of the season is still starting in the playoffs. When Yiyang controlled the ball and pushed forward, the whole world seemed to be watching how the best sixth man would make a fool of himself.

"Yi's recent pressure is indeed not small. Ever since he won the award of the best sixth man, the discussion about Yi has never stopped."

"As a young man, he will also face pressure that he shouldn't have to face at his age. I hope this guy will not perform abnormally under high pressure."

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley both know how much public opinion pressure is for a rookie player. Right now Yiyang is playing under a huge microscope, and if he makes a slight mistake, people will ruthlessly pierce him.

Yiyang took the ball past the center line, and then began to pass the ball to organize the attack. After a while of conduction and running, Yiyang finally received the ball at the middle distance of 45 degrees on the left, and then made a decisive shot.

Yiyang's decisiveness deserves to be affirmed by Carlisle, but it is a pity that the basketball was rejected by the basket. Yiyang missed the shot, but this guy's cold touch is still continuing!

"Yi, the first shot on the field was missed. Believe me, on the defensive end, the Trail Blazers will not let Yi relax."

Blazers fans began stomping their feet like crazy, and the entire Rose Garden seemed to be shaking. However, Aldridge's turnaround jumper, but also failed to hit.

2 to 1, this score means that the Trail Blazers must win the game today. If they lose and return to Dallas, then the victory they won in the last game will be wasted.

pressure,

But not only Yiyang and the Mavericks. The players on the Trail Blazers are also hanging by a thread.

After several attacks, both sides failed to score. Both teams played very cautiously and defended very tightly. The consequence of this is that after two and a half minutes of the game, Nowitzki's Golden Rooster made an independent step-back shot to break the embarrassment that the score between the two sides has always been 0.

It should have been a good game, but it left the neutral fans lethargic. When a game is played on defense, it's bound to be pretty dull. Because the increase in defensive intensity means the reduction of wonderful goals.

The game set a new low for a two-team series, but that didn't stop Mavericks and Trail Blazers fans from staying focused.

The game went on for three dull quarters, and finally at the last moment of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers couldn't hold back.

Gerald Wallace seemed to have used up all his energy in the last game. At the end of the third quarter, Marion successfully broke through Wallace frequently and easily scored points.

After Wallace is captured at this point, the Mavericks will also get a lot of chances to score.

Although Yiyang still didn't have any outstanding performances, with the efforts of the two forwards Marion and Nowitzki, in the third quarter of the game, the Mavericks counterattacked and drove the Blazers into the abyss in one fell swoop.

At this time, the on-site photographer's lens was aimed at the Trail Blazers bench, and aimed at Roy, who had little playing time in the playoffs.

Seeing this scene, many Trail Blazers fans shed tears. At this time, Roy had no menisci in both knees, and the direct friction between the bones in his knees made him feel miserable. When he was running or even walking, he could feel the rubbing of bones. This season, his state has seriously declined, and his peak is no longer there. What made the Portlanders even more desperate was that with 34.6 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Blazers were already behind by as many points as 44 to 67!

"It's over Kenny, the Mavericks are going back to Dallas with a victory. We thought it would be a fierce game, but we didn't expect that under the heavy pressure, it was the Trail Blazers who collapsed first." Kenny .Smith yawned. The game scene was not good at first, but now it lost its suspense. In the fourth quarter, I really don't know what to say.

During the intermission, McMillan's face was covered with black lines. He knew that his players were too afraid of losing. But there are some things, the more you are afraid of it more and more. For example, fail.

Aldridge and Gerald Wallace both had their heads down. These two guys may have been thinking about how to move forward in a 3-1 situation. Deep down, they've given up on the ball.

Looking at the mental state of these two guys, McMillan shook his head. In the fourth quarter of the game, it was difficult for the two pioneers to stand up on their own. Now McMillan has to find someone, someone who can drive the team. Find a guy who is not afraid of failure and dares to fight.

The black coach glanced at the bench, then elbowed his assistant coach. "Call Brandon over here!"

For this decision, McMillan's assistant coach was a little surprised. He didn't get up immediately until McMillan repeated it.

Roy's state after returning from injury this season is obvious to all. Is this guy who has lost his meniscus really suitable for playing in this situation? Or, McMillan has given up the game, so many fringe players will be played later?

McMillan's assistant coach didn't know what caused his coach to make such a decision, but he still walked up to Roy and motioned the latter to get up and listen to the tactics.

At this time, the TV broadcast has not discovered this scene. But the sudden screams in the rose garden made the photographers aware of the problem.

Immediately afterwards, the camera quickly turned over, and the fans watching the game broadcast in front of the TV all saw this scene. Trail Blazers coach McMillan was pulling Roy to bow his head and say something.

"Play?!" Roy was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be able to play at a critical moment in the playoffs. The guy was still wondering if McMillan was just letting him get a feel for the game. After all, the team is so far behind now.

McMillan nodded, then picked up the tactical board. "Yes, we need to make some changes to break the balance on the field. I think it's a good idea to put you on."

Roy looked at his coach, and then at his beloved rose garden. Today, Roy will dance the last dance with this arena!

"Hello, audience friends, welcome to continue to watch TNT TV. The fourth quarter of the match between the two sides has begun. Although the Trail Blazers are now behind by many points, the fans still burst out their warmest cheers Sound. Because... see? Brandon Roy, the guy who had the meniscus removed, is back in the playoffs!"

Just as Kenny Smith introduced it to the fans, Roy had already held the ball for the first time on the field.

"Yellow Mamba" took the pass from the old Miller, observed the situation, and then suddenly lobbed the ball inside.

Aldridge stretched his arms, and the pass was just right for Aldridge to catch.

After receiving the ball, Adelaide was in his most comfortable position. He turned and hooked directly, and the Trail Blazers easily moved back to two points.

But the mere two points are not enough to shake the huge lead of the Mavericks. Carlisle is not in a hurry, as long as the Mavericks are stable, they will win!

However, just ten seconds later, the Blazers made a comeback. After receiving the basketball, Roy dribbled twice, and directly faced Peja, who was ten centimeters taller than him, and pulled out his hand!

The basketball went through the net, and the Trail Blazers' deficit was moved to within 20 points. Brandon Roy officially sounded his counterattack horn!

A wonderful pass, a three-pointer. This doesn't mean how good Roy's state is today, but at least he can be sure that Roy is the one who is least afraid of losing! How dare he fight!

He has nothing left, the only thing he can do is fight fate with his knees. So, what is there to be afraid of?

So, Roy, who fought against the whole world alone, started his own crazy performance!

He broke through for a layup, fell to the ground, and then got up silently.

He shot a long three-pointer and made a dry jump, but he just made it.

After Roy scored 6 points in a row, Carlisle called a timeout. Firstly, he wanted to interrupt Roy's touch. Secondly, he needs to replace Yiyang now. Even today, Yiyang's performance is very average. But Carlisle believes that the team will use him at the critical moment

But contrary to expectations, a timeout did not interrupt Roy's touch, but made him even crazier.

When the game was about to end with 1 minute and 6 seconds left, the Trail Blazers had chased the point difference to only four points.

From points to 4 points, Brandon Roy seems destined to create miracles. All the fans who came to watch the game stood up, it was impossible for them to sit peacefully in their seats.

Facing Sean Marion's defense, Roy made a three-pointer, shot, and the whistle sounded. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net. Then the referee signaled to the technical desk, 31!

"This is an incredible game! Playing four points, Roy now has a chance to play four points! God, the Trail Blazers will have the possibility of tying the game! It's hard to imagine that 11 minutes ago, the Blazers almost I have to give up! But Brandon Roy, he told everyone that he is the owner of the rose garden!" After Roy scored, he just smiled. But when he has nothing to lose, he will naturally embrace himself when he wins.

Finally, at the free throw line, Roy lived up to expectations. There were loud and orderly shouts throughout the stadium. All the fans shouted were the three letters mvp.

"mvpmvpmvpmvp..." These voices passed by Roy's ears, and he seemed to have returned to the past, to the era when he was loved by others.

Facing the shouts of the fans, Roy calmly made a free throw and scored his 16th point in the fourth quarter. And the Portland Trail Blazers also officially scored an equalizer!

"Equalized! Coach Carlisle will not be happy, and Cuban in Dallas will definitely not be happy either! The Mavericks were tied with a point lead! There is still more than a minute before the end of the game. I think the best moment of the game has come!"

"This is the Mavericks, this is the playoffs of the Mavericks. They always lose for no reason. I don't think Roy's performance will stop abruptly! He will create a miracle, and the Rose Garden will perform a miracle tonight!" Kenny Smith and Barkley, who were about to fall asleep at first, were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves.

Miracle, Roy is only 1 minute and 8 seconds away from creating another miracle of his own.

But people didn't notice that the eyes of the Mavericks No. 1 who opened his arms to defend, became completely different from just now.

Roy's performance made Yiyang truly know what it means not to be afraid of losing.

Now that this is the case, let's give it a go!

Yiyang patted the hardwood floor hard, and his action also attracted the attention of the fans.

Now that Roy is about to create a miracle, Yiyang has nothing to lose. Why don't we stop the miracle from happening!
