Chapter 316
Chapter 316
Philadelphia regained the initiative, and Philadelphia regained the initiative.
Allen Iverson grabbed Jermaine O'Neal's shot directly.
Jermaine dodged Van Horn in the first and couldn't avoid Allen Iverson in the second.
This is the amphibious star of basketball and football back then, and his bounce power has never been bothered to be evaluated.
The camera immediately turned to the shortest champion in history
, Iverson and Bol on the sidelines looked at each other and slowly pushed through the half-court,
and it took more than ten seconds on the line before leaning in.
"Be careful!"
Just as his teammates behind him were reminding, and just as Iverson was turning around, someone else made a steal.
Old Miller, the
chicken thief,
steals.
After the break, Miller threw the ball forward, and Al Harrington rushed to the basket to complete the dunk.
94-95 with fifty-one seconds left in the fourth quarter.
There was only one point left to leave.
Coach Bol called a timeout.
Moses Malone: It's a matter of experience, when Allen makes a tackle, he should call a timeout.
Bill Wharton: Maybe Bol's idea at that time was that he didn't want to disrupt the rhythm of everyone in the court, and wanted to take advantage of Allen's steal to complete a quick counterattack, after all, the three-point difference is not safe.
"Why, it makes sense, but if it were to be replaced by Rick Carlisle on the opposite side, he would still call a timeout and even complete a substitution in individual positions to confuse the other side, so that Allen Iverson and Rayong can finish faster and more effectively. "
Anyway, now that the ball is still in the hands of the home team, the time has come to test the defense of Rick Carlisle's team.
The timeout came back and the game resumed.
On the Philadelphia side, Iverson holds the ball, and Rayong reaches for the ball on the side.
The Pacers' defense shrank very hard, leaving Tinsley alone to deal with Iverson on the line.
Miller Sr., on the other hand, spared no effort in chasing Ragabel.
Moses Malone: It's a bold change, Indiana used to use a strategy of pack-and-clip delays against ball carriers, and it was not a good idea to leave Jamal Tinsley alone on the line to deal with Iverson, who is known for his speed, at such a critical time.
Bill Wharton: There's no hurry, maybe it's just to let the opponent rush up with the ball. Look at who's standing in the corners of the two flanks.
That's Ron Artest and Al Harrington, both of whom have a certain amount of pressure on their arm spans and are also very well-positioned to delay each other.
The answer began to sped up, and he glanced around before quickly walking in with his right hand, switching to the direction of El Harrington and starting to dribble sideways.
Harrington just blindly pressed up, and didn't dare to make too many superfluous movements, instinctively driving the opponent in the direction of his teammates.
This defense, it's like driving a flock, you just have to keep pressing the ball carrier and let him go to the sideline.
Iverson also knew what the other party was thinking, waved away Van Horn, who wanted to step forward to block the dismantling, and quickly switched the ball to his left hand.
Ron Artest was on the move at this time, quickly running in the direction of Iverson.
"It's now, it's now, it's out!" the
Philadelphia bench got up almost at the same time, just waiting for it to be passed to Rayong.
Artest's move, this game of chess is alive.
But the answer did not reach the direction of Rayong, who was vacant, and he rushed in without hesitation.
Seeing that the answer was still going inside, Rayong had no choice but to pull to the corner to stretch the space open.
The answer is stopped under the left basket.
At this time, there was still a chance to pass the ball, but unfortunately it didn't come out, and Atai was already standing between him and Rayong.
People have already slid over.
The answer fell into the three-man bag, and Xiao Ao was stuck in front of him.
Answer: Take a step further to the right, then close the ball sideways, get up and jump hard in the direction of the basket.
"Smack!"
"Oh, that's hard!"
Jermaine O'Neal made a meritorious service, and he struggled to fan Allen Iverson's twisted shot.
The basketball was held in Al Harington's arms.
With thirty-four seconds left in the game, Rick Carlisle made two gestures toward the middle of the court.
Al Harrington took advantage of the situation to lower the ball, Iverson pressed on the spot, and the two grabbed together.
"Be careful, don't foul. Miller
Sr. stepped forward to answer the ball.
Carlisle didn't call a timeout, and Miller slowly dribbled across halftime.
Bill Wharton: Rick is going to save the last timeout, and 34 seconds is still plenty of time, just one point, as long as the grinding is still Indiana's advantage.
Xiao Ao changed his previous strategy of blocking and dismantling online, and this time he kept reaching for the ball in the low post.
Miller gave it in.
Jermaine O'Neal immediately rolled over, and Van Horn could only reach out and hug the other party.
In the last twenty-two seconds, he sent Xiao Ao to the free throw line.
"It's over, if you go in both of these two penalties, you'll be able to turn over one point. "
Boom!"
Ao missed his first free throw and slammed into the front of the basket.
This Nima, her mouth has really been opened.
"It's okay, there's one more chance!" Old
Miller took the initiative to high-five the other party and gently patted the other party's buttocks.
Xiao Ao readjusted his breathing, slowly squatted, shot, pressed his wrist, and did it in one go.
"There it is!"
the second penalty went in!95-95
, and in the final twenty-two seconds, the two sides were tied.
The Philadelphia called a timeout.
Moses Malone: There's still plenty of time, so it's a test of the visitors' defense, and we have successfully defended it once before, so I wonder if there will be a chance to stop the opponent's attack this time.
The camera quickly cuts to Coach Ball, who is leaning over to say something to Iverson.
Iverson's previous singles choices were incomprehensible, as he didn't choose to play the ball when there were many open opportunities, but instead stuck inside hard.
Is it looking for a free throw opportunity?"
"Raga, you and Rayong will run around the baseline for a while, looking for open opportunities. "
Darko, now is your chance to prove yourself, Jermaine on the other side is a two-time All-Star starter, you just need to hold him down, even if it's to draw his attention, I'll find a way to get people to pass the ball to you, it's up to you whether you can score it or not!"
"Allen, keep being aggressive, keep up the impact, you're our trump card, I believe in you." Coach
Bol clapped his palms vigorously and kept cheering everyone on.
