Chapter 867: Two Hits And Two Free Throws (2 More)
The fans at the scene only felt that their breathing was stagnant.
"Only one point difference advantage!"
"The Eagles missed a great opportunity on defense."
"Zhou Yan's knee should still be problematic, otherwise, he would be able to catch up with Li Dazhou.
Everyone obviously felt that something was wrong with Zhou Yan's knee. After all, Zhou Yan had defended Li Dazhou's three-pointer before.
"This ball can't be blamed on Zhou Yan, he himself played with an injury!"
"Yeah, one point difference, eighteen seconds left!"
"As long as the ball is held firmly by the Eagles, as long as it doesn't go, it's fine."
"Impossible, even if Celtic fouls, he still has to fight for the last shot.
"They can really gamble."
While everyone was talking, the head coach of the Eagles had called a timeout.
For the current situation, even he can only think that Iverson should handle the ball.
"Iverson, your service hit rate is 90%. Therefore, when this ball is served to you, it is right to spend as much time as possible."
13 The coach's policy is simple.
But it's also relatively reasonable.
After all, if the ball comes to Zhou Yan, his knee problem will hinder his performance at any time.
Once the ball is intercepted, it will be difficult.
This is something that everyone knows and understands.
"Okay, everyone, get ready, you have reached the most dangerous time now, you must be steady.
The head coach is also in a mixed mood now.
On the one hand, he was worried about Zhou Yan's situation.
On the other hand, it is natural to worry about whether the ball can be implemented according to his plan.
"Don't worry, I will hold the ball firmly until the last moment."
Iverson said firmly.
On the other hand, the head coach of the Celtics has solemnly apologized to Li Dazhou.
If it weren't for Li Dazhou's two consecutive three-pointers, this game would have been explained.
"Now you know how handy I am?"
Li Dazhou looked at the head coach with disdain.
"Got it, got it, but what are we going to do with the last ball?"
The head coach still has nothing to do now, even if he can guess what the Eagles will use.
You can even guess who will catch the ball.
"Teaming, this is my opinion."
Rondo said sternly.
"There's no question they're going to get the ball to Iverson, he's got perfect ball handling and he's shooting 90% from the free-throw line today."
Garnett also chimed in.
"That is to say, you all agree with me to do this?"
The head coach's pupils shrunk.
"Teaming is the best way. Even if he can't make mistakes, we can still have a chance. If it doesn't work, we will draw a foul. In this way, even if he makes two free throws, we still have to shoot three points and play the final extra. Time game.
Pierce said.
"In extra time, Zhou Yan's knee injury will definitely not be able to withstand it, so we will win in overtime."
Rondo's thinking is also very clear.
"It seems that everyone agrees with this method. If this is the case, let's act. It depends on your performance."
The head coach stretched out his hand, and everyone - after high-five, they all returned to the playing field.
For them, the importance of this game is self-evident.
Everyone wants to get rid of Zhou Yan and win Iverson in this game.
Now, the pressure is on their side.
Iverson cheered up and took a deep breath.
What he wants to guarantee later is that the ball cannot be dropped, no turnovers can be made, and after being fouled, he will make two free throws.
That's what he needs to do now.
The referee's whistle also sounded instantly.
Zhou Yan assisted the running position, and Antoine Walker quickly passed the ball to Iverson with the help of Zhou Yan's running position.
None of this came as the Celtics expected. As soon as Iverson got the ball, Rondo and Pierce rushed up to double-team.
Iverson himself is relatively short in stature, and under double-teaming, he defended the basketball tightly and didn't give the opponent a chance.
The two double-teamed to no avail, and immediately chose a foul.
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
"Foul, two free throws.
The referee signaled.
At this time, there are still fifteen seconds left in the time, and any possibility is possible.
Iverson took the ball and came to the free throw line.
At this moment, what he holds tightly in his hands is all the hard work of the entire game.
As long as one penalty is missed, they have the possibility of being lore!
The pressure suddenly came to Iverson.
At this time, Iverson already felt the pressure from all sides.
Although his own ability to resist pressure is still very strong, the intensity of the game still makes him a little nervous.
He holds the ball with both hands, then rotates and adjusts.
The breathing rhythm also changes with his rhythm.
Immediately, he made a perfect shooting action, the first free throw, and hit it steadily.
The entire stadium was dead silent.
Everyone is waiting for Iverson to shoot the second free throw.
Iverson stabilized his mind. He himself has seen many critical moments and played many key shots, so he naturally understands what this ball means.
"Don't worry, absolutely not."
Iverson adjusted his breathing, and soon, his ball was shot again.
As soon as the basketball was shot, it hit the frame and bounced!
Everyone's breathing seemed to be choked, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Fortunately, the ball was just a feint, and after one bounce, it fell firmly into the box!
"Go in!"
"Two free throws, a three-point lead!"
"Our chances of winning are great again!"
"Not necessarily, the 907 bastard Li Dazhou's three-point shooting percentage is outrageous, if we score three-pointers, we will continue to shoot.
"Overtime is not friendly to us, let's not go into overtime."
Everyone began to pray silently.
At this critical moment, preventing Li Dazhou's three-pointer has become the top priority.
At this juncture, only Zhou Yan is the best defender of the opponent's three-pointers.
However, Zhou Yan's current state is simply not suitable for high-intensity defense.
So, the Eagles used their last timeout.
The purpose is to make the last defensive deployment.
"Zhou Yan, I'm afraid your knees won't be able to withstand it."
The head coach frowned.
"I should be able to."
Zhou Yan said firmly.
"Are you really going to be able to defend that guy's last 3-pointer?"
The head coach couldn't believe it.
After all, Zhou Yan couldn't jump up just now.
But now, what he needs to face is the opponent's strongest three-pointer.
This kind of pressure is not insignificant.
"I should be able to do it, I am familiar with Li Dazhou's offensive methods, let me do it.
Zhou Yan didn't say much, his eyes were full of determination.
"Is there really no problem?"
The head coach said again.
"Well, I will definitely be able to complete the task."
Zhou Yan also vowed. .
