From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 271 The Decisive Moment

"The red light came on and the basketball went hollow into the frame. This is a valid goal!!!"

"Incredible. Although this word cannot express my shock, I can't think of any other more suitable words to describe it at this moment!!"

"The tough Celtics made for an epic game!!!"

"Curry squatted on the ground in pain and held his head, looking at Jiang Hu in disbelief as he scored this magical goal!!"

"The Oracle Arena lost its voice. Jianghu seemed to have used the "silence" skill in the MOBA game and successfully silenced the entire arena. We could hear the exclamations from the on-site commentators from other countries except us, but we couldn't hear the continuation. A whole show of audience noise!!”

"Everyone on the Celtics is celebrating like crazy. Coach Stevens can't even believe this scene. Although they haven't won the championship yet, I believe this scene won't be too far away!!"

"Take a short break, we will bring you an overtime contest!!"

The global audience went crazy, and countless servers were paralyzed at this moment, especially in China. Multiple NBA-related sports software, such as Tencent Sports and Hupu, were blocked by the surging crowds and The crazy barrage crashed the server.

Fortunately, CCTV's server is large enough that no matter how many people watch it, it cannot affect its stability.

Two minutes passed quickly and overtime began.

The two sides came to the midfield for a jump ball, Horford vs. Durant.

"beep~"

As the whistle blew, the basketball was thrown into the sky by the referee. Horford and Durant took off at the same time. In the end, Horford, who had a significantly weaker bounce, burst out with higher energy and successfully got the basketball.

"Horford won the jump ball and the Celtics started their first attack."

"Jianghu directly holds the ball and plays!!"

Jianghu came to the frontcourt with the ball and asked everyone to pull away. Thompson still didn't believe in evil and let go of Smart to double-team.

Jiang Hu was not impatient and made an easy pass to the ground, sending the basketball to Smart's hands.

With no one on guard, Smart took the shot directly.

"Brush~"

Hollow hits! !
"Smart's goal kicked off overtime. Now it's time for the Celtics to take the lead!!"

"His goal also means that the Warriors will have new thinking on the defensive end. Do you want to let Smart, who has missed a few empty shots, let him go? It is obviously inappropriate to let others go, and it is not appropriate. Letting him go is like letting Jianghu fight alone!!"

"You said let him go, and he can score again. From the end of the game just now, to the overtime now, Smart has lived up to his teammates' trust in him!!"

The Warriors attacked, and Curry attacked with the ball, but his physical fitness also dropped a lot. He actually made a very low-level mistake on this ball and dribbled the basketball to his feet.

"beep~"

Basketball out of bounds.

Facing the opportunity that came their way, the Celtics failed to grasp it. Jaylen Brown's mid-range jumper also missed.

In the next 2 minutes, neither team seemed to know how to play. They either made mistakes or made mistakes. Anyway, they just didn't score.

When the time came to 2 minutes and 15 seconds, Curry once again broke through with the ball, but this time he attracted the Celtics defense and immediately passed the ball. In the end, Durant on the right baseline caught the ball and raised the knife with his hand. Hit 3 points.

The score was tied again, Celtics 129 to Warriors 129.

After the Warriors scored, the Celtics didn't rush. Instead, they slowed down and advanced unhurriedly.

When he reached the frontcourt, Rochier looked at Jiang Hu, who nodded at him. Rochiel knew better and did not pass the ball immediately. Instead, he signaled to Horford. Horford came up to pick and roll, and Rochier took the opportunity to get rid of Ku. Here, he pretended to break through, but it was actually a back pass to Jiang Hu. Jiang Hu took the ball to attract the defense and passed it to Jaylen Brown.

Jaylen Brown is free because the Warriors are not that interested in him. After all, his performance is not too strong.

Jaylen Brown broke through, and Rocher cut inside to catch his pass. Thinking of his look just now, his heart moved, and he jumped up and took a shot, but instead of actually shooting, he threw the ball towards the rim.

"This is."

People were surprised and stared at the basketball without blinking.

When the basketball flew to the top of the hoop, a figure shot out of the sky, jumped up, grabbed the basketball with both hands, paused in the air, and slammed the ball into the basket.

Bang!
A loud noise brought people back to their senses.

With 1 minute and 47 seconds left, the Celtics beat the Warriors 131 to 129.

"Sure enough, it's an alley-oop."

"nice shot!"

"awesome!"

This alley-oop dunk shocked people and made them excited.

Jiang Hu released his grip on the basket and ran toward his own half. He high-fived Rochiel in celebration and praised: "Well done."

"Hehe." Rocher chuckled, feeling very excited and excited. Even though Jianghu was the one who dunked, at least this alley-oop also had its share of credit.

"It's another minute and 47 seconds. During this period of the fourth quarter, the Celtics were behind. They once had no hope of victory, but in overtime, the situation was completely different!!"

"The Warriors dribbled to the frontcourt, and Klay Thompson caught the ball around the screen. He continuously used two single screens from Green and Durant to shoot from the right three-point line with extremely fast speed."

"The ball went in, and the Warriors overtook the score 132 to 131!!!"

"From the fourth quarter to the present, Thompson has hit 6 three-pointers, 9 of 6 from the field. From the end of the third quarter to the present, he has hit 6 three-pointers."

"Warriors owner Joe Lacob stood up and stretched out his arms to shout for Thompson. The boss who once knelt for Thompson felt the urge to kneel again at this moment. The shouts from the boss hope to bring benefits to the Warriors. Get some mental strength.”

"The Warriors haven't given up yet. This is the NBA Finals. No one will give up easily."

"The Warriors lead by 1 point, with 1 minute and 30 seconds left."

"Are the Celtics going to call a timeout? We see Coach Stevens has come to the podium."

"Jiang Hu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for a timeout, and Coach Stevens quietly sat back on the bench."

"Still controlling the rhythm, the Warriors did not foul to control the ball. For a one-point gap, they did not need to foul, they only needed a successful defense."

"The Warriors scored a beautiful goal. How do we see the Celtics respond?"

"Jianghu holds the ball, and the opponent no longer double-teams. They paid a heavy price for continuously leaving Smart open. Now they have decided to adopt normal defense against Smart. This also means that Jianghu does not need to face the opponent's double team." Instead of being double-teamed, he was guarded alone.”

"Faced with a pressing press, Jiang Hu chose not to pass the ball. He had absolute confidence in his dribbling.
"Come to the frontcourt and waste time at the top of the key."

"On 9/8/7/6, Jianghu moved. Faced with Durant's defense, he chose to rush forward!!!"

"Oh, a crossover, and then immediately pulled back sharply, and directly chose a pull-up three-pointer, a crazy and unexpected offensive choice!!!"

"The goal is scored, the ball is scored, the world is like a god."

"Dear viewers, this is Jiang Hu's 70th point in this game. It is also the first 70 point in the history of the NBA Finals. Jiang Hu's second 70 point in the playoffs. In the history of human basketball for more than [-] years, , tens of thousands of NBA players around the world have followed suit, and no one has ever accomplished this achievement before, including their basketball god Michael Jordan."

"This is a new breakthrough. Jiang Hu did it, he did it in the playoffs, and now he does it again in the finals!!"

"The great Jianghu is carrying the Celtics forward!!"

"Remember today, June 2018, 6, this is a day that will be recorded in history. Remember this name, his name is Jiang Hu, he comes from China on the other side of the ocean, a great country!!"

"There is only one minute and eight seconds left, 134 to 132, and the Celtics lead by 2 points!!"

"This goal is a must-goal for the Warriors. It is a must, otherwise Jianghu will not give them a chance, believe me."

"Did the Warriors choose to timeout? Not to timeout. Coach Kerr crazyly chose to believe in his players. He has always done this."

"Curry looked for opportunities with the ball. Jiang Hu followed closely, giving him a chance to break through, but never giving him a three-point shot. Curry did not pass the ball but rushed to the basket with the ball. It was a confident choice."

"Jiang Hu held up Curry tightly, reached out to hit the ball, and the ball came out of his hands!!!"

"Curry rushed over and hugged the basketball, and Jiang Hu also rushed over to grab it!!!"

"Timeout, Curry called timeout!!!"

"There is only one minute left in the game!!"

"Unfortunately, it was just a little bit close. If Jianghu could get the ball, it would be a game-winner. Unfortunately, he couldn't get it. Curry held the ball with both hands and successfully called a timeout."

"The fans at Oracle Arena broke out in a cold sweat. Everyone stood up from their seats. No one dared to continue watching the game. It was so exciting!!"

"With a thrilling goal, the Warriors were forced to use a timeout. Now the Celtics have a timeout advantage. If the game goes to the last second, they will definitely be the one with the advantage!!"

"After the game came back, Green threw the ball from the frontcourt. The other four people stood together to see the position of the Warriors players. The starburst tactic was Jackson Jackson's favorite starburst tactic at critical moments."

"This tactic has created many classic moments in history. In 04, the Los Angeles Lakers used this tactic to kill the San Antonio Spurs in 0.4 seconds." "As a disciple of Jackson and Popovich, Cole is almost proficient in them. At the same time, he integrated all the tactics and used the most appropriate tactics at the most appropriate time!!"

"We saw Xiao Hua on the sidelines nodding and smiling. He seemed very satisfied with the Warriors' tactic!!!"

"Yes, data shows that the Warriors' starburst tactics are not used much, but their success rate is very high. The round success rate can reach almost 80%. 100 out of 80 rounds will eventually score!!"

"Okay, let's watch the game and see how the Celtics choose to defend.

"Green served, and the four Warriors scattered. The Celtics' formation was very chaotic, but Jianghu paid no attention to anyone and kept an eye on the ball."

"The ball came out, a high throw, and Thompson caught the ball from the free throw. The intention of this pass was too obvious, and Jianghu rushed over."

"The two touched the ball almost at the same time, and the ball was pushed away. He jumped again. Jiang Hu's jersey was pulled, but even so, he still jumped up and hit the ball in the direction of the backboard with his hand.

"For such an obvious foul, the referee didn't call a foul? That's too blind. This is not the first time that the penalty has been detrimental to the Celtics!!"

"The ball bounced off the backboard. Horford knocked Curry away and grabbed the ball. The ball was suspected of being a foul, but the referee did not call it. It seems that he did not dare to blatantly favor the Warriors."

"The starburst tactic failed, Jianghu blocked the shot."

"Horford passed the ball to Jianghu, and Jianghu charged with the ball."

"The Warriors returned to defense very quickly, and Jianghu had no chance for a fast break."

"Jiang Hu stretched out his hand to signal, slow down, he wants to control the rhythm, the game has entered the last minute!!!"

"In the last 45 seconds, Jianghu started."

"How would he choose?"

"Breakthrough, shoulder sinking, feint, mid-range pull-up jumper."

"Oh, Sheter, Durant was down guarding him."

"Jump shot, Jiang Hu chose a pull-up jump shot. This is the same action as Michael's 97 game-winner against the Jazz!!"

"What a pity, the ball didn't go in!!"

"It's such a pity. If it had been scored, this goal would have killed the game directly!!"

"Look at Durant, Durant's situation is not very optimistic!!"

"Durant, who was knocked down by Jiang Hu, is sitting on the ground and covering his ankle. His expression is very painful. It seems that the injury is not serious!!!"

"The team doctor came up, made some preliminary judgments, and then asked Durant some questions. We can see that Durant kept shaking his head. It is obvious that his injury is not optimistic!"

"Durant left the court with the support of Curry and Thompson. His right ankle suffered a serious injury, probably a torn Achilles tendon. It is certain that he will not be able to continue playing in this game!!!"

"The Warriors were forced to use their last timeout, which means that the Celtics had two more timeouts than the Warriors at the end of the day!!"

The timeout ends quickly and the game continues.

Although they have lost Durant, the Warriors still have the Splash Brothers present, and they are still a force that cannot be underestimated. The Celtics players do not dare to let down their guard in any way.

Green stood on the sidelines to serve. For fear of being stolen, Cole directly chose to let Green serve the ball to the backcourt this time.

"Curry gets the ball and the clock starts rolling!!"

"Come to the frontcourt and launch an attack directly. Jianghu's defense is of high quality. Curry can't get rid of it directly. He calls for a pick-and-roll. Jianghu is still inseparable from him!"

"There are only 8 seconds left in the attack time. The pass is passed. Curry passed it to Thompson!"

"Jaylen Brown was also very close and forced Thompson to the sideline!?"

"There was absolutely no room to shoot. Thompson could only pass to Rooney. Rooney received the ball. There was no time and he passed it to Green!"

"Green took a shot?? There were two seconds left. He didn't pass Curry and took the shot himself!!!"

"The basketball hit the backboard hard and it went in??"

"Brush~"

To everyone's expectation, Green actually hit the ball.

“Fuck, fuck, I knew it!!”

"I am a hero, I am a superhero!"

After scoring the goal, Green was as excited as a monkey, jumping up and down, wishing he could climb on the roof and knock the house down! !

"pause!!"

Jianghu was not disappointed. The Warriors were so lucky that even Green, who shot the worst, could score.

However, he was relieved when he thought that Smart hit very crucial three-pointers in the final quarter and overtime. If Smart can score, Green can naturally score as well.

Everything happens in accordance with the laws of nature. The Celtics relaxed their vigilance on Green most of the time, and it is acceptable to pay some price for him.

This timeout is very different from before.

The faces of the Celtics players no longer had that kind of confusion or fear, but they all looked at Jianghu and Stevens.

This is a good thing. Obviously the pressure from the Warriors is so huge, but everyone is used to it, so it's not a big deal.

The timeout ends quickly and the game continues.

The Celtics changed their tactics this time, with Jiang Hu standing on the sidelines to serve.

This caught the Warriors off guard, and for a while they didn't know who to focus their defense on.

Jianghu's serve went smoothly, and the basketball was sent to Horford, who then ran over quickly and caught the basketball.

After receiving the ball, Jianghu did not choose to break through, but retreated a certain distance to avoid the Warriors' double-team! !

"Jianghu received the ball and retreated to a position near the midline. He did not rush to attack. It seems that he did not count overtime. This was to press the time to the end."

"Green leads the defense, and he is still directing the defense of his teammates!?"

"With the last 5 seconds left, Jiang Hu broke through directly, accelerated to the left, quickly changed direction, and went to the right."

"When we get to the top of the arc, we don't have time, just pick it up and throw it away from Rooney!!"

"Basically the last shot."

"Come in, come in!"

"It doesn't matter, you can't come in!"

These were the last few seconds. When the ball left Jiang Hu's hands, all the [-] fans at the scene were staring at the basketball. Their eyes followed the basketball, and they were screaming, shouting, and praying in their hearts.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down.

"How about it???"

"There is!!!"

"Jiang Hu, hit the winning goal in regular time, and then hit the winning goal in overtime to end the game!!!"

"Oh my God, I can't believe my eyes. Jianghu wants three points instead of two points. How arrogant!?"

"The referee indicated that the goal was valid!?"

"The Warriors were left with the last 1.2 seconds, but they didn't time out!?"

"The Warriors served from the backcourt and ran out of time. Curry took the ball and took a step and shot directly!?"

"The whistle sounds, time is up!?"

"Oh!!!"

"so far so good!?"

"Scared me!?"

"The ball was very close to hitting, but the basketball circled around the basket and finally flew out!!"

"After 6 hearty battles, the Boston Celtics, led by Chinese player Jiang Hu, successfully won the 2017-18 American Men's Professional Basketball League annual championship!!"

"Oh!!! Champion, champion!!!"
