NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 33 The white-hot competition
There are 2 minutes and 09 seconds before the end of the game, and the game has entered a fever pitch.

Either team can win this game.

The Pacers attack.

Jamal passed the ball to Reggie Miller, and Corey Maggette and Wang Zhizhi immediately double-teamed.

Reggie Miller saw himself attracting two Clippers defenders, and he decisively passed the ball to O'Neal at the basket.

O'Neal Jr. forced a layup over Michael Olowokandi.

Michael Olowokandi knew how important this ball was to the Clippers, and he defended desperately.

However, because he cared too much, he not only failed to defend the ball, but also lost a blocking foul.

Michael Olowokandi was a little depressed. He sat on the floor and slapped his hands on the floor. He hated his own incompetence.

Then a hand came over.

Michael Olowokandi looked up.

Li Chen smiled and comforted: "Brother, don't worry, we still have a chance."

Michael Olowokandi was slightly stunned, and nodded vigorously.

After pulling up Michael Olowokandi, the Pacers' O'Neal began to execute free throws.

At the peak, O'Neal's shooting percentage is about 56%.So his free throws are more reliable, and he makes free throws steadily.

The score was rewritten to 97 to 97 again, and the two teams were once again on the same starting line.

Andre Miller gave the ball to Li Chen.

As soon as Li Chen dribbled the ball not far from the three-point line, he was double-teamed by two Pacers players.

Michael Olowokandi came over to cover the pick-and-roll, and Li Chen took the opportunity to go straight past another Pacers defender.

At this time, Reggie Miller blocked Li Chen.

Li Chen didn't stop, and forced his way to the basket against Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller was pushed back continuously. He couldn't believe it in his heart. Li Chen didn't look like a powerful player, but his strength was only that of an average center.

At this moment, Li Chen jumped up and made a small throw.

Reggie Miller jumped hard, but still missed the basketball.

But at this moment, behind Reggie Miller, a figure suddenly jumped up.

This figure is none other than Pacers star Jermaine O'Neal.

O'Neal's explosive power is not low. Although he did not block Li Chen's shot, the basketball was still touched by his fingertips.

This time luck was not on Li Chen's side, the basketball hit the basket and went out.

Fortunately, Michael Olowokandi grabbed the rebound.

Michael Olowokandi knew that the opportunity was rare. He didn't stop after grabbing the rebound, and took off again, smashing his hands towards the basket.

Just then, Jermaine O'Neal once again showed his All-Star quality, destroying Michael Olowokandi's dunk.

But the Clippers' offense didn't end there, as Corey Maggette picked up the ball.

Corey Maggette jumped high, and then Pacers substitute Harrington also jumped high.

Just then, Corey Maggette flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Andre Miller at the top of the key.

At this time Andre Miller was unguarded.

At this time, Reggie Miller desperately ran towards Andre Miller's position.

Andre Miller looked at Reggie Miller who was about to rush towards him, and couldn't help but smile.

When Reggie Miller saw this smile, his heart tightened. He suddenly turned around and looked somewhere. Clippers No. 16 Li Chen was unguarded at this time.

Just then, Andre Miller passed the ball to Li Chen, who was unguarded in the bottom corner.

After receiving the basketball, Li Chen leaped high and scored the ball under the watchful eye of Reggie Miller, the strongest three-point shooter today.

97 to 100, the Clippers lead again.

Reggie Miller looked at Li Chen's impeccable standard three-point shooting, and he shook his head helplessly.

Careless, in the end this kid is the end point, next time it won't happen, I will keep an eye on your Oriental boy.Reggie Miller thought silently in his heart.

At the same time, the fans at the scene had the urge to applaud when they saw the Clippers attacking step by step.

At this time, Pacers coach Smiling Assassin Thomas replaced Artest on the court again.

The Pacers went back to their old routine, with Jamal handing the ball over to Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller passes the ball to O'Neal at the basket.

O'Neal once again beat Michael Olowokandi, and he was defeated step by step by O'Neal.

O'Neal thought he would do it again this time and successfully scored two points.

But, Michael Olowokandi didn’t let him succeed this time.

Just when O'Neal made a layup, Michael Olowokandi jumped up and gave O'Neal a big hot pot.

After landing, Michael Olowokandi threw his head to the sky and screamed, venting his frustration.

However, the Pacers' offense did not end there.

The old Miller rescued the basketball that was about to roll out of bounds, and adjusted his shooting posture slightly.

At this moment, Wang Zhizhi jumped up high.

Wang Zhizhi was fooled, and Reggie Miller was just a fake move.

After sending Wang Zhizhi flying, Reggie Miller jumped high. At this moment, Corey Maggette arrived, but he arrived a step too late.

Corey Maggette was cruel and hit Reggie Miller hard on the arm.

Corey Maggette knows all too well the ability of Reggie Miller to shoot three-pointers, so fouling is the best way to go.

There was no miracle with the ball, and the basketball hit the basket.

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded and Reggie Miller got three free throw opportunities.

Li Chen couldn't comment on whether Corey Maggette's decision was correct.

In his opinion, this foul is not worth it, because it is difficult for a scorer like Reggie Miller to miss free throws.

Sure enough, Reggie Miller made the first two free throws, but to Li Chen's surprise, Reggie Miller missed the third free throw.

At this moment, Michael Olowokandi and O'Neal jumped at the same time.

But Michael Olowokandi didn't snatch O'Neal.

After O'Neal caught the rebound, he jumped up directly, which was a hook.

Although Michael Olowokandi jumped up hard, he was still a little bit short.

At this moment, Li Chen jumped up high and slapped the basketball flying.

However, the ball did not go out of bounds, but was picked up by Artest who had just played.

I saw Artest dribbled the ball back to the three-point line, and then threw the basketball out.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

101 to 100 The Pacers miraculously overtook the Clippers.

At the same time, there are 90 seconds left in the end of the game.

Li Chen squeezed his waist with both hands, helplessly looking at the bright red above the basketball stand, the dazzling score of 101 to 100, thinking in his heart, what the fuck!Does this count as an assist?
Concentrating on the sloth in his heart, Li Chen looked at Michael Olowokandi. He knew that Michael Olowokandi was still blaming himself for not grabbing a rebound.

Li Chen patted Michael Olowokandi and comforted him: "Michael Olowokandi, don't do this, it's not like we lost, we still have a chance."

Michael Olowokandi nodded.
