Chapter 121 Overtime
Kobe no longer cared about the soreness in his knees, and sat upright on the sofa, nervously waiting for the final attack.
The game was suspended three times in a short period of time, allowing Xu Tian to recover some of his physical strength, and he already had enough energy to launch an attack.In the end, he did not hand over the task of the final attack to Nick Young, but chose to undertake it himself.
When Xu Tianlin came on the field, he felt something was wrong and called a timeout again.
The audience are full-fledged fans, so they naturally know the weight of a regular season victory in the Wild West, and patiently wait for the Lakers and Suns' tactical arrangements.
Paul George finally spoke up during the second timeout, expressing his desire to execute the final shot.In tonight's game, he made 20 of 12 shots, and his accuracy was much higher than Xu Tian's, so there is nothing wrong with him taking the shots.
Xu Tian looked at the scoreboard, agreed to George's request, and decided that he would make the last shot.
Scott took the tactical board and drew a tactic casually, asking George to stand in the opposite corner, and Xu Tian threw the ball to him.
Xu Tian knew that this tactic was used by the Celtics before, when Jeff Green beat the Heat, but this tactic was very accidental, and it was difficult to ensure the final success rate.
After Paul George came to the Lakers, he restrained his temper, had no doubts about the coach's arrangement, and prepared to go to the court to implement this tactic.
Xu Tian disagreed with this too risky tactic.First of all, the pass across the court is easy to be interrupted, and the offensive space that can be found on both sides of the court is also very small, it is far worse to launch an attack at the top of the arc.
In the game between the head star and the head coach, Xu Tian still won.In the end, the tactics were adjusted, and Clarkson served from the sideline, leaving more possibilities for the offensive end.
The referee signaled that the timeout was up, and the players from both sides packed their jerseys and returned to the court, and the Lakers' offense began in the last 1.3 seconds.
Clarkson stood on the sideline to catch the ball, looking for the moment when his teammates ran out of opportunities.
Tucker and Markieff Morris followed the two offensive strengths of the Lakers respectively, and naturally handed over Nick Young to Devin Booker, who was weaker in defense.
Xu Tian used his muscles to forcibly explode, quickly threw away Tucker who was defending him, and came to the left side of the court to receive Clarkson's serve.
Clarkson's eyes lit up, and he threw the ball in his hand, trying to give it to Xu Tian who ran out of space.
Nick Young shot out from a diagonal stab, intercepted the pass halfway, and shot a 28-footer without hesitation.
Xu Tian's heart was galloping, but it was too late to say anything now, but this state of mind changed soon.
Basketball turned into a Gaia energy cannon, bombing the basket of the American West Arena.
The goal light is on, it's overtime!
Overtime refers to a form of regular 48-minute draw between the two sides to determine the winner.The extra time is 5 minutes, and the possession of the ball is determined by a jump ball. If the winner has not been determined within the time limit, the extra time will continue.After that, the right to the ball in the overtime game will be owned by the side that did not get the ball in the first overtime game, and so on and forth until the winner is determined.
In overtime, both sides have a timeout opportunity, and the base number of team fouls is the same as the base number of fouls in the fourth quarter, and will continue to accumulate during overtime; the number of personal fouls and the base number of regular game fouls will continue to accumulate until the end of the game or 6 sent off.
The two sides entered the intermission to prepare for the next overtime.
Hornacek never expected that the game would continue. He tried his best to hide his frustration and patiently arranged tactics for the players.
The Suns used up all the timeouts in regular time, and overtime can only be called once, so they need to rest as much as possible during the intersection to arrange tactics.
Mike Breen is still conscientiously explaining: "Who would have thought that the Lakers, who are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference, would go into overtime with the underdog Suns. Even if you analyze it before the game, I'm afraid I can't believe it. "
Jeff Van Gundy smiled and said: "Mike, I said I had a hunch, do you believe it? Let me explain why, first of all, the Lakers are back to back, and they will be very tired during the journey. In addition, the Suns have been in a hot state in the last two games. The fact that the team is evenly matched doesn't make sense at all."
During the laughter of the two commentators, Xu Tian stepped onto the court, preparing to play the first overtime game after entering the NBA.
Tyson Chandler and Roy Hibbert once again stood in the center circle for the ball in overtime.
The boxing champion successfully won the ball with his lighter body, which opened the curtain of overtime.
Devin Booker continued his fiery offensive state, continued to accumulate personal scoring data, and faintly showed signs of moving towards 60 points.
On the offensive end, Xu Tian did not force himself to attack. He used his proficient distribution of the ball to drive the team and kept the score at a level.
Alice was busy with business during the day, and she was still a little sleepy watching the wonderful game, so she couldn't help yawning a few times.
Boss Jin and Alice are in the exact opposite situation. He originally wanted to use up his physical strength by playing basketball, but he didn't expect to get excited again after watching the game twice, which completely wasted the painstaking efforts before.
The Lakers and the Suns have always maintained an evenly matched situation, but George blocked Devin Booker's shot in the last minute, helping the team win the opportunity to expand the point difference.
In overtime, players on both sides will experience a decline in physical strength, and their scoring ability will be much weaker than usual. A slight lead may determine the final outcome.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball slowly across the half, and unexpectedly passed the ball to Nick Young, the hero who helped the team score overtime, and he completed the team's offense.
Kobe is not here today, Nick Young only has the basket in his eyes.
16-foot fadeaway jumper, unreasonable hit!
126-123, the Lakers lead by 3 points!
Hornacek called the final timeout, using a short period of time to let the players recover, and at the same time arrange the tactics for the final stage.
Scott's tactics are very simple, give the ball to Xu Tian, let Xu Tian lead the offense on the court.
The offensive tactic of the Suns coming back from a timeout is the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Markieff Morris helped Devin Booker block the space, and Devin Booker shot the basketball in his hand.
Luck was no longer on the Suns' side, and the ball missed the rim by just a hair.But the slightest loss is a thousand miles away, and if you don't make it, you don't make it.
Chandler bounced on the spot, got the offensive rebound in the best way, and wanted to give the racket to Devin Booker who was standing outside the three-point line.
Xu Tian was in a state of fatigue, but his subconscious reaction made him appear in front of Devin Booker, intercepting the rapidly moving sphere.
George has already stepped down the frontcourt, and Xu Tian's pass will arrive soon.
128-123, the Lakers led by 5 points, with 25.3 seconds left in the first overtime.
The Suns did not have a timeout, and Bledsoe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and made a direct 26-foot long three-pointer.
Self-confidence is a good thing, blind self-confidence is another matter.
Hibbert steadily took off the priceless rebound, completely obliterating the suspense of the game.
The boxing champion still did not give up hope and fouled Hibbert, sending him to the free throw line.
