The Basketball Court Swordsman

For several minutes in the fourth quarter, Brook Lopez became the focus of the game. Well, a veteran with an annual salary of only 3.38 million US dollars has Paul George, Antetokounmpo and Leon at the same time. Nader's game became the focus of much attention.

At this point, the game ended with 1 minute and 20 seconds left, the Pacers' offensive bout. All eyes are on Lopez, because his performance in the fourth quarter can only be described as magic.

George went to the bottom corner just after halftime, and Leonard had to follow George to shrink into the corner. But at this time, Leonard's heart was not on George, he wished he could now defend Antetokounmbo or Lopez. But helplessly, Nick Nas gave Leonard the order to guard George.

Nas still believes that it is the star, not the role player, who can end the game at the critical moment.

Letting the Raptors' strongest defensive man look at the bottom corner is simply a violent thing. The only thing Leonard can do is to pray that his teammates can successfully defend the attack. In particular, pay attention to the guy named Brook Lopez.

When the team is in a hard fight, and as the star of the game, he can only stand in the bottom corner to watch, this mood is very struggling.

Antetokounmpo was too lazy to cover up this time, and after he broke through, he gave the ball directly to Lopez. Now that the game time is running out, what the team needs is not to cover up, but to kill the game!

But the Raptors players are not fools. Lopez played so well today in the fourth quarter, they can't be defenseless.

So, at the moment when Antetokounmpo broke through the ball, Gasol stretched out his hand to interfere. But after all, Gasol is a center, he doesn't have the ability to react so quickly, and he can't get down in time. Therefore, he failed to directly destroy Antetokounmpo's pass, but interfered with the basketball's flight trajectory.

The ball did not follow the original trajectory, but hit Lopez's feet. Nick Nas is secretly delighted, this time, Lopez can no longer score goals!

As we all know, the most comfortable way to pass to a center is to pass it above the waist. Because the center's center of gravity is too high, if you bend down to catch the ball, it is difficult to get up and attack the first time.

But this time, Antetokounmpo's pass, not to mention the waist, directly passed to the foot. Therefore, Nas is so confident. Antetokounmpo's score this time was unsuccessful.

But Lopez did not give up, he immediately bent down and picked up the basketball, and did not adjust, but took the opportunity to lift the basketball and shot directly!

At the moment Lopez shot, Gasol flew out. He just scored 17 points and 7 assists in the last game to justify himself. He didn't want to be "back to his original shape" so quickly.

Unfortunately, Lopez already feels hot. When a player feels hot, how can he really shoot? The most famous "Neural Knife" in the NBA, J.R. Smith, has survived in the league for so many years relying on his occasional hot touch.

Nas did not expect Lopez to complete the shot so quickly, and did not expect Lopez to actually score the goal!

Another three-pointer was made, which was already the third three-pointer made by Lopez in the fourth quarter!

This three-pointer put the Raptors behind the Pacers by 17 points in the last 1:06 of the game! In other words, Lopez's three-pointer almost killed the game!

"Nice goal, Brook Lopez, he scored today's 29th point! 29 points, which is also the highest score in the playoffs in Lopez's career! Can you imagine? Lopez was actually in his After the heyday, he achieved a record high in scoring in the playoffs. I have to say that the Pacers are a magical place. No matter what the player is, they will get better here!

With the shouts of the narrator and the boos of the Raptors fans, Nick Nas called the game to stop. He must be responsible for his wrong decision, and the way of being responsible is likely to fail!

Brook Lopez has scored 13 points in a single quarter until now in the fourth quarter! He scored 3 three-pointers and gave Leonard 4 big shots! Yes, 4!

In the fourth quarter, because of Lopez, the Pacers and Raptors had a 5-1 ratio of offensive rebounds! There were 5 offensive rebounds, and 3 of them were converted into points by Lopez.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Lopez completely dominated the entire fourth quarter. Lopez's five-point performance at a critical moment just now gave the Pacers a 17-point lead and almost ended the game.

Whenever Henson can successfully put two bottles of poison in front of his logarithm, his opponent will almost inevitably face failure.

Nass did not believe that Henson could kill the game with role players, but now he has to believe it.

"Good job Brooke, this is your peak night."

During the timeout, when Lopez walked off the court, Henson hugged him tightly. He has always believed that every one of his players can make a difference. Even if it is a player with only 3.38 million and no annual salary.

"Thank you for your trust, boss."

"Don't thank me, your performance is the best thanks."

Now, the initiative has been completely held by Henson. At the last minute, he has countless ways to win the game. Because as early as when Nas chose to ignore Lopez, he had already lost the game.

Sure enough, at the last minute of the game, Nas finally paid attention to Lopez. But it was too late, and the Raptors were gone.

This game is almost the last chance for the Raptors. If they can tie the score, they may win the series with one effort. But if they lose... the total score will become 3-1. And Henson, who got the match point, will never give up any chance to eliminate opponents.

It is theoretically possible to equalize or even exceed 17 points in one minute. After all, McGrady once scored 13 points in 35 seconds. But the theoretical possibility cannot be used to illustrate the problem.

The Raptors played very hard, but unfortunately, they missed the best time to lead the score.

In the end, in his desperate eyes, Nick Nath heard a harsh electronic buzzer. He looked up at the big screen, 117 to 103. The Pacers won the fourth game of the series with a huge advantage of 14 points and got the match point by the way!

Next, the game battlefield will be transferred to Indianapolis. As for whether the game will return to Toronto, it's a different matter.

Anyway, Henson did not intend to return the game to this icy and snowy northern land.

After the game, Brook Lopez overpowered Leonard, Antetokounmpo and George and was selected as the best player of the game. After the game, Nick Nas also said helplessly.

"I didn't expect Coach Henson to have such courage, but not all coaches dare to let a role player control the life and death of the team at the critical moment of the key game. But Henson did just that, and it was extremely successful. I must Acknowledge that the situation is very difficult for us now."

Torontons think they can break the shackles of the Eastern Overlords, but they are just self-comforting.

Indeed, the Raptors are the king of the North, but they can only be the king of the North. Before Henson retires, the rulers of the east will not easily change hands.

Henson believes that the Raptors will fight to the death in the next game. But he is not afraid, he has completely gained the upper hand.

Again, he is a head coach who has only lost less than 10 games since the beginning of the season. In this league, no one knows how to win better than Henson.

Only one step away from the finals!
