From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 251 We were already champions before you came

Seeing Jiang Hu looking at him in surprise, Owen smiled and patted Jiang Hu on the shoulder and said, "Let go and fight. I believe you can do it. At this time, you are more suitable than me."

"Yes." Jiang Hu nodded, "Thank you for being willing to give me this opportunity when you feel so good."

Irving smiled, said nothing, and walked onto the court.

Smart also came over, stood beside Jiang Hu, and said seriously: "Brother, don't think too much, just go and fight. As teammates, we will always support you, and this will never change."

"Don't worry, we will win." Jiang Hu's expression was solemn, his eyes sparkling.

On the opposite side, everyone on the Warriors team had serious expressions on their faces.

Durant looked at the Celtics players, then at his teammates, and suddenly sighed.

Just now, Coach Cole arranged the play style, but he did not let Durant be the only terminator. He was just one of the terminators. In addition to him, there was Curry.

Moreover, in addition to this, Cole also mentioned Thompson, saying that if a three-pointer is needed to solve the problem in the end, and Durant and Curry have a bad chance, they can also be given to Thompson.

What tactic is this?
Three terminators?
"Hey"

Durant shook his head and sighed, a little disappointed. He thought he came to the Warriors just for this moment, but in the end, he was not regarded as a leader after all.

In the last two minutes, it begins!

.........................................................

Warriors attack.

This time Curry didn't control the ball, but ran directly to the frontcourt. Green controlled the ball, advanced to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Durant. Durant made a cross step, suddenly accelerated, and passed Brown half-way. He stood up, paused in his steps, jumped up suddenly, and pulled out his hand.

boom!
The ball didn't go in and went out of the frame.

Horford knocked Green away, grabbed the rebound, and immediately handed it over to Jianghu.

"Fight back!! Run!"

Jiang Hu held the ball and shouted, advancing quickly, but the Warriors reacted quickly and were back on defense in the blink of an eye. Jiang Hu could only slow down and pass the ball to Irving.

Irving got the ball, started a pick-and-roll with Jaylen Brown, and then took two steps inside. Seeing that there was no good opportunity, he passed the ball back to the outside and passed it to Smart.

Smart pretended to make a shot, but in fact it was another sudden score, passed to Jianghu.At this time, Jianghu had been vacated. He took the ball without pausing, made a mid-range shot, and with a bang, the ball hit the net.

Celtics 116 to 110.

"Damn!"

Warriors fans yelled.

The next moment, the Warriors counterattacked.

The ball quickly reached the frontcourt. This time Green did not pass it to Durant, but passed it to Curry. Curry changed direction, then dribbled behind his back, used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Jianghu, and raised his hand for a three-pointer.

Swish!
The Celtics beat the Warriors 116 to 113.

"nice shot!"

"Curry is awesome, what a three-pointer."

Warriors fans roared excitedly. This three-pointer hit and the score returned to one round.

........................

In a blink of an eye, 1 minutes passed.

The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was extremely fierce. For the Celtics, it was mainly Jianghu who scored points. He scored 1 points in 4 minute. Irving also caused a foul. Unfortunately, he only scored one goal from two free throws.

On the Warriors' side, Curry made a three-pointer, Green scored with a breakthrough, and Durant used his signature loop to cause Horford to make two free throws. The three of them scored 7 points.

At this time, there was only 1 minute left in the game, 58 seconds to be precise, the score was 119 to 117, and the Celtics still led the Warriors by 2 points.

"beep"

Cole called another timeout, which was also the Warriors' last timeout.

When the players came down, Cole said: "Everyone, everyone!!!"

"There are 58 seconds left, there is still plenty of time, we need to stay calm and stay focused."

"But at the same time, we must seize the time to take the lead. As I said before, pass more, run more, let me move them all. The ball must be given to KD and Curry and let them finish the offense. ,Understand?"

"Understood." Everyone replied.

Here, Stevens didn't make any changes. The tactics are like this and can only be played this way. Moreover, he has played well in these rounds, why should he change?

He just encouraged everyone and asked everyone to hold on.

After a while, the timeout ended and the game restarted. Green advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Curry. Curry set a pick-and-roll with his teammates, but failed to get rid of Jianghu. He had no choice but to pass the ball to Thompson. , Thompson feinted and accelerated the breakthrough, but the Celtics' defense was too fast, and he had no chance, so he had to return to the outside.

This time, the ball finally reached Durant's hands, but with only 24 seconds left in 5 seconds, he gritted his teeth, crossed steps continuously, and then suddenly pulled out his hand from outside the three-point line.

Swish!
There was a soft sound, the ball went in, and it was still a three-pointer!

"Roar"

Durant roared loudly and waved his fists excitedly.

At the critical moment, he used his Death Scythe to ruthlessly harvest, just like last year's finals.

This is who he is, and this is what he should do.

The Warriors fans in the audience cheered loudly and shouted Durant's name. The loud sound resounded throughout the arena and made Durant's blood boil. This is what he wants, to take action at the critical moment and lead the team to victory. , he wants to become the hero of the Warriors!
40 seconds, Celtics 119 to 120 Warriors, Warriors lead by 1 point!
When the game reached this point, the Warriors overtook the score, which simply made the Warriors fans at the scene crazy and couldn't help themselves with excitement.

"Overtake, we overtake."

"My God, I finally overcame this. I wasn't dreaming."

"There are 40 seconds left, and we can still play two to three rounds. We are ahead. Well, keep playing steadily. As long as we defend against one Celtic attack, we will basically win."

Many fans waved their fists, held signs and slogans, and cheered loudly. They were celebrating and cheering for the Warriors.

Here, the Celtics did not call a timeout because they were only 1 point behind.

In a blink of an eye, Jiang Hu advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Curry rushed over quickly. Thompson, Green, Durant and others were also looking at Jiang Hu carefully, because they all knew that at this time, it would probably be Jianghu fights on its own.

However, they are not completely sure, so their defense against Irving has not weakened because Irving has sanctioned them in this way.

The next moment, Jianghu passed the ball to Irving.

Seeing Jiang Hu's choice, the Warriors players were shocked, and unbearable memories instantly came to their hearts.

Could it be that it was really Irving who came, but in the past period of time, hadn't Jianghu been the core of the offense?That's not right, Irving also had a lot of time with the ball and scored several goals in the final quarter.

Or are they, like us, tactically arranged with more than one endpoint?

Just when various thoughts were passing through the minds of the Warriors players, Irving moved, accelerated, and tried to break through, but failed to get past Thompson. In addition, other Warriors were also targeting him, so Irving slowed down and turned his back. Turn around, take a step inward against Thompson, and retreat suddenly.

"Step back."

"Turn over and lean on your back?"

"Be careful."

Many people shouted, and Thompson rushed forward quickly. He did not dare to take off easily. It would be an injustice if he was called for a foul at this time.

Rather than that, it would be better to let Irving take the shot, which might not necessarily lead to a goal.

However, they all thought wrong. Although Irving jumped up, it was not to shoot, but to pass the ball. A wide-range transfer ball was given to Jaylen Brown on the other side.

Seeing Jaylen Brown get the ball, the Warriors quickly changed their formation, but Jaylen Brown had no intention of playing by himself. When he saw someone rushing towards him, he immediately flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Jianghu.
At this time, because Irving and Brown had attracted the defender's attention, Jianghu had a rare opportunity. Although Green had already rushed toward him very quickly, it was at least a chance.

Jiang Hu also saw Green, but he didn't have time to think too much and jumped up quickly. But at the moment of taking action, a hand enlarged in front of his eyes, and Green had already blocked the shot.

"This guy"

Jiang Hu's heart skipped a beat, he put the ball away, dodged in the air to avoid Green, then raised it again and threw it.

As soon as the ball was released, Jiang Hu knew that it would probably not go in, so he shouted "rebound" and at the same time, he quickly rushed to the basket to grab the rebound.

Horford, Durant, Smart, Green and others all jumped up and grabbed the basketball, but failed to catch it. The ball was patted and flew up again.The next moment, Irving rushed in, grabbed the ball before anyone else, and then immediately called a timeout.

"Huh, it's dangerous!"

Jiang Hu took a deep breath and secretly broke into a cold sweat.

The Celtics fans in front of the TV also breathed a sigh of relief. This ball was too dangerous. If they couldn't get the rebound, the game would be difficult.

Fortunately, Irving got the rebound.

Everyone returned to the sidelines, and Stevens said: "Jiang will come to shoot later. There are 29 seconds left. We still have enough time to attack. Pass more and pull people away."

As he spoke, he held Jiang Hu's face with both hands, looked into Jiang Hu's eyes and said seriously: "Jiang, relax, don't think about the ball just now. If you didn't score just now, it doesn't mean that the next goal won't be scored. We Everyone believes in you."

"Don't worry, I know what to do!!"

Jiang Hu nodded, struggled out of Stevens' hands, twisted his neck, and forgot about the ball just now.

Here with the Warriors, Coach Cole also made the final arrangement. Their arrangement was also very simple, that is, they must guard against this ball at all costs. There are 29 seconds left. If they guard against this ball, the Celtics will most likely have no choice but to A foul tactic was adopted.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

In the audience, everyone held their breath and stared at the court without blinking. If they win, it will be a draw, and if they lose, they will be two games behind. When this kind of game goes to the last moment, the tension on the court is enough to make everyone feel asphyxia.

The ball came out and Jianghu got the ball, but he was not in a hurry to launch an attack immediately. There was still 14 seconds of attack time, which was enough time.

"Teaming!"

The next moment, the Warriors double-teamed Jiang Hu without hesitation. Curry, Green, and Durant instantly surrounded Jiang Hu.

At this time, everyone knew that Jiang Hu was going to fight, so the Warriors decided to double-team and not let Jiang Hu fight. Even if it was played by other members of the Celtics, they could accept it.

Seeing the opponent coming up, Jianghu could only distribute the ball. When the defender retreated, he quickly ran over to get the ball again, but the opponent's double-team immediately came up again.

In desperation, Jianghu could only choose to pass the ball.

After going back and forth, there were only 7 seconds left. Jianghu became anxious and secretly said "no time", shouted "cover", used Horford to help him block Durant, and quickly went around to the other side. The ball in Irving's hand was also passed over. Jianghu took the ball, and Durant pounced from behind.

"You're a damn coward and you deserve to block me??"

"Fuck you!!!"

Jianghu gritted his teeth and jumped up to meet Durant's long arms. He leaned back greatly. The position of catching the ball was already in the bottom corner. At this time, he leaned back again and almost retreated to the court. outside, and then flicked his wrist.

Jiang Hu and Durant both jumped very high. They both lost their balance and fell heavily to the ground.

However, neither of them paid attention to their bodies at the moment, but looked at the basket at the same time for the first time.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound, and the audience was silent.

"yes!!! yes!!"

"Damn it, I knew it!!"

A few seconds later, crazy cheers and shouts broke out. The Chinese fans, who did not constitute the majority, all went crazy, jumping and shouting, and all of them blushed as if they had just finished a sauna.

This super difficult three-pointer actually went in, and the score became 122 to 120 for the Celtics. The Celtics led by 2 points, and with only 15 seconds left before the end of the game, the Warriors had only one chance.

"Defense!"

There was no timeout at this time. Although the fans in the audience were crazy, the players were calm. Stevens shouted from the sidelines, and all the Celtics players quickly returned to defense and got into position.

Curry controlled the ball. After reaching the front court, Jianghu quickly rushed forward. His arms danced to put pressure on Curry. Curry was not in a hurry. More than ten seconds were enough and passed the ball to Green.

This was their last chance. With more than ten seconds and 2 points behind, they could either score a two-pointer to take the game into overtime, or score a three-pointer to kill their opponent.

The Celtics' strategy is also very simple, which is to defend the ball and focus on three-pointers!
Focus on defending Curry's three-pointers! !

Standing at the top of the arc, Green also felt the strong pressure. He was dribbling and gesturing. On the Warriors side, Thompson screened Curry. Curry tried to use the screen to get rid of Jianghu and circled from the inside. Rounding the corner and outside the three-point line, Jianghu was faster and had already caught up.

On the other side, after Thompson finished covering yesterday, he ran back and reached the other side's three-point line.

At the same time, Durant shook off Jaylen Brown, rushed to the 45-degree three-point line, and shouted at Green: "Give me the ball."

But Green didn't pass it to him. He tried to pass it to Thompson, but Thompson was stuck in Smart's position and he couldn't pass it at all.

Seeing that time was running out, Green simply raised his hand and took a super long three-point shot, but with a bang, the ball missed and bounced out of the frame.

"Backboard!"

Everyone jumped up, and Smart roared wildly. A burst of power burst out from his body, knocking everyone away and grabbing the ball.

"beep"

Whistle, the game is over!
The Celtics defeated the Warriors 122-120.

Although it was only a two-point win, the game was a game. A two-point difference equaled victory and defeat. Facts were facts. In the end, the Celtics won.

"We actually lost."

"How could this happen? We are actually behind one to three!!!"

"Damn Jiang, ugh."

In the audience, many Warriors fans were disappointed and sad.

At the beginning of this series, they never thought that the game would end like this, let alone that the Warriors would lose to the Celtics in so many games. But the result was like this, unexpected, but reasonable.

Some people are still talking about the last ball, some are scolding Thompson, some are scolding Green, some are scolding Cole, and some are scolding Curry and Durant.

But no matter what, it's all over!
The Warriors players hugged the Celtics players and then walked to the tunnel. Durant looked gloomy and looked at the scoreboard. He felt very depressed. On the last chance to take a shot, he had already gone up to get the ball, but Green did not. To him, but to Thompson? ?

Why not give it to me?
Durant kept thinking, why didn't you give it to me at that time? If you gave it to me, maybe I would get in, maybe I would win.

"Hey"

Durant couldn't figure this out. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more pity he felt! !

When he came to the locker room passage, Durant finally couldn't help it anymore, grabbed Green's shoulder and said to Green:

"I had a great chance, you should have given it to me, man!!"

At this time, Green was also angry. He knew that he had made a wrong choice. He should have passed it to Durant, who had a better chance, but it was absolutely impossible for him to admit his mistake.

So he spat back at Durant without hesitation: "Shut up!!!"

"Damn weakling!!"

Durant was stunned. This was the first time Green had spoken to him in such an attitude.

Isn't he my good friend? ?

Doesn’t he respect me very much and wouldn’t dare to offend me at all? ?
Durant was stunned and kept muttering:
"What are you talking about??? I'm asking you why you don't pass the ball?? I am a superstar, this kind of key ball should be given to me, this is the reason why I came to the Warriors!!"

"I made a key shot and went ahead!!"

"You should give the ball to a stronger player, not give it to someone else, or take it yourself!!"

Durant's questioning made Green, who had missed the key ball, even more impatient. He pushed Durant away, then directly stuck it in Durant's face and asked loudly:
"I'm an All-Star, I'm the best defensive player!!!"

"You son of a bitch are you teaching me that I should play ball??"

"Are you a loser teaching me how to play?? Stop being funny, okay??"

"SHUT UP, BITCH!! WE WERE CHAMPIONS BEFORE YOU FUCKING COME TO FUCKING GOLDEN STATE!!"

Heart-breaking! ! !

Killing people is also heart-breaking! ! !
Green's words were like a thunderbolt hitting Durant's chest, making his face full of shock and disbelief. (End of chapter)
